Incredible, powerful, beautiful voice…..WOW!
Wao. I love “Over my head” in particular. Beautiful..
Applause from a Japanese friend of JR
Melodee is a personal friend and her powerful voice is so representative of her personality. Deeply caring, perceptive and confident. I knew the girl was talented but wow her voice is truly like a finely tuned instrument. It would be such a treat to see/hear a live performance. If you have the opportunity DO NOT miss out on the pleasure of her gift.
beautiful!
Awesome! Loved it very much… Love Again is great… Cuz we need to do a duet… I miss singing, with a few occasions at church that satisfies that thirst, yet that burning desire waits for God’s to direct me… I’ve done it my way now it’s his turn… Love You!
So beautiful to listed to “Heaven” early in the morning. Makes your day.
