Love Missy Higgins, love this cover :) Hopefully you’re not too busy you don’t have time to yourself! Maybe we’ll get to hear the song with Daniel Bedingfield sometime soon?

@Misa any chance you still have any of the Ariel drawings around?

Busy weeks are the worst, until you finally realized you’ve accomplished quite a bit. :)

Kina, Kina, Kina….

I’ve had less time to listen to your posts lately, but today I was on Facebook and I saw that you had covered this song! I knew you through your cover of Sugar Cane on yourtube because I had just come back from Australia and fell in love with Missy’s music. (I actually saw her in concert and it was awesome). So now you have covered the song that I heard one day on the radio in Melbourne and that made me want to look it up to find the singer!

Anyway just wanted to tell you that your cover is great, a little more sad than the original? but your voice is amazing as always. Too bad the sound isn’t always best…I can’t wait to listen to that album that you’re working days and nights on. I know it will be amazing. It has to be!

Hoping to get the chance to see you and hear you live on stage if you ever come to France or if I go to the States and you’re playing somewhere near.

Love from France where I’ve spread the word about you! Keep on with the great music! And please stay the same when you’re a world renowned singer songwriter!

Woot, another french friend :P

Anyway, I didn’t know this song, but the melody is really interesting. Kina’s vibes are simply mesmerizing :)

Awesome cover, K.
Keep up the good work.

Kina,

Which Swing dancing do you do? Do you do East coast, West coast, or Lindy Hop? Or all of the above?

kina (what a great name!), your voice is simply breath taking. i stumbled upon a youtube video of yours sometime last summer…i still remember it like it was yesterday, it was your cover of let go by frou frou. i was blown away and proceeded to listen to every video you had posted at that point and i have continued to follow your work and listen to your new covers and originals each week. i have wanted to leave a comment for quite some time now, but didn’t want to be like every other fan in the world :P …i guess i finally caved! i was so happy to see you did this missy higgins cover, it’s one of my favorite songs that played a big part in my past. i have had the pleasure of introducing your amazing voice and personality to many of my friends and have turned a lot of them into serious kina fans :) i hope to make it to one of your shows someday…come back to ny! …but for the meantime i look forward to your new videos each week :)

congrats on your amazing career thus far and good luck in your future kina!

Kina! I really love all of your music! You’re just great! I have a request! I would just love it if you did a cover for Beyonce’s “halo” I think you would rock it. :D

hey kina! thanks for adding my belated birthday in the list, though my name is spelt wrongly:P. nevertheless i greatly appreciate it! :) hmm… Kina, out of all the songs you had sang, which song took you a lot of time to figure out the chords and make it sound smooth with the lyricst? Hmm.. if you were to come to Asia, which country would you like to visit first?

Hi Kina! I listen to your MySpace at work to get me through the day! You have a lovely voice, and I love all your originals and covers.

Could you possibly do a shout-out to my boyfriend, Jason Woon, on next week’s video? It’s his 23rd birthday this Thursday (or in your time, a Monday, lol). Thanks a bunch!

just wanting to help you out kina, the answer to the final question is “jean-luc picard”, without a doubt, the best captain! (I like his hair too)

I appreciate this a lot :D
I requisted it! :D
thank you so much!
(I know you didn’t do it specifically because I requested it, but I really love this song and it has a lot of meaning to me, so thank you so much anyways!)

Jean-Luc… who?? Never heard of em…although there was this cool captain guy on a show I used to watch and they called him James T Kirk. Maybe you’ve heard the name before hmmmm???
