December 16th, 2009 at 2:51 am
So many clever ideas that on work on their own. Then when put together are meaningful and memorable.
December 16th, 2009 at 3:09 am
Watching it again I see subtle brilliance: she wakes in the morning w/ makeup from her stage performance on. Foreshadowing or endless loop?
December 16th, 2009 at 3:25 am

December 17th, 2009 at 2:03 am
beautiful shots, great song, intriguing girl… the confused mascara eyes to the glowing star and back. The editing was tops.
December 17th, 2009 at 2:04 am
Definite replay value, watching again brings out more details, like the funny name of the restaurant.
December 17th, 2009 at 3:09 am

I came back to watch this again, keep telling people to watch and so far my friend like too. It is definitely a winner.
December 18th, 2009 at 1:40 am
How did you get so much into 139 seconds? I want to hold onto the images, to see them again.
December 18th, 2009 at 2:52 am
Impossible Girl is Witty, Wonderful and a Winner. I love everything about her…who do we write the check out to?

December 18th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
Great vid mate, and I am impressed with the short production deadline. The lighting alone is a work of art.
December 18th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
I actually went to bed last night with this song stuck in my head, humming it as I fell asleep, very memorable!
December 18th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
One on the best on this site. I will be voting for it, great job.
December 18th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Lovely dreamy shots at the end. The character arc throughout, how she changes, is a trick to pull off in 140 seconds, and you did it.
December 18th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
wow. clever, witty, beautiful, and thought provoking.
December 18th, 2009 at 6:10 pm

December 22nd, 2009 at 11:18 pm
Nothing but the best, that’s it.
December 23rd, 2009 at 3:24 am

Well Done! Thank your cousin Dino! I love the end!
December 23rd, 2009 at 1:41 pm
Like all true art ~ each viewing yields a newness. This is really good stuff and is a clear winner.
December 23rd, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Your “people” must have left the above comments b/c, this was terrible! I made it through to the end, but the
acting was horribly bad. Sorry
December 23rd, 2009 at 2:16 pm
bad acting…really took away from the film, made it seem like the bad singer/actor was just being promoted here… & badly at that
December 23rd, 2009 at 4:58 pm
I really like it. Very artistic and the message it conveys is timeless and relate able.
December 23rd, 2009 at 5:15 pm
I only made it through because it was 139 seconds long.
December 23rd, 2009 at 6:01 pm
I don’t get it…. i have to agree with amoreno… haha =)
December 23rd, 2009 at 6:45 pm
you should be calling yourself chickenbrains if you DON’T GET IT
December 23rd, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Funny skits, beautiful singing, and great song!!
December 23rd, 2009 at 11:23 pm
mariana ladas this is you friend from brandos raul i watch you video is little scare in the bigining but is very nice and a like how you sin
December 24th, 2009 at 3:36 am
I really appreciate any honest and candid opinions, and am glad to read them! Thank you, Amoreno and Chicken for watching and commenting.
December 24th, 2009 at 3:40 am
Though I would add that I dont feel this to be promotional, in any sense more than any video is of a persons life, cause this is her life.
December 24th, 2009 at 3:45 am
There’s room for comments that bring cause for thought other than the usual “oh you’re so great.” Open discussion is applauded and welcomed.
December 24th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Well, I’ll tell you one thing. If anything it does stick in your head. Bit to harsh before. : )
December 24th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
I liked that the people in it weren’t ‘great actors’ but real people who aren’t perfect.
December 24th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
Thanks Amoreno, and it’s obvious, their not professional actors, their real people in her life, that’s our warehouse guy, lol, etc.
December 26th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
The music is very good!
December 26th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
Great video — a real winner!
December 27th, 2009 at 11:01 am
I agree with Lucky unlike some of the other vids who’s desperation to win reaks throughout by going out & CLEARLY hiring pro actors, SpareMe
December 27th, 2009 at 11:02 am
If this was done on a tight budget which it obviously was then just image what they could do with the $$!! It would really kick the others..
December 27th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
when you have the guts to create from scratch even though you know you might be criticized, that’s brave.
December 27th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
I found it a little soft, but overall I liked it.
December 28th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
excellent video!
December 30th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
BAD ASS! What a creative being. GREAT VIDEO!!!
Much impressed.

January 1st, 2010 at 5:51 pm
NeCe and David love this video! Great work!
January 5th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
Nicely done! It looks like you had a lot of fun making this one - keep up the good work.
January 5th, 2010 at 3:56 pm
bad acting, great voice,nothing original except song
not a winner nor a wienner, fun good luck.
January 11th, 2010 at 4:10 pm
The video combines many facets of Marianna- her sense of humor, her daily work, her spirituality, beauty and most of all, her creativity!
January 12th, 2010 at 2:55 am
A day in the life, I can relate. Mind-waking up, body-yoga, work,(which can suck some days)and singing-the creative side. Loved it.
January 13th, 2010 at 5:32 pm
The acting was far from being decent, but I still like this video.
January 16th, 2010 at 1:45 am
Well, well, Well, guess who?Cindy! Damn girl you need some like makeup remover or something.Hollie
