Girl Meets a Christmas Maya Lowest rated episode

I'll start by responding to the PM you send me I decided to incorporate in this comment so we're not having this same discussion in two different places:

I can't tell you the number of times I wish I got responded to in a conversation in a thread. Sometimes conversations just end. You also have to realize that sometimes I see a reply, get a phone call and have to leave or something, then never look back at it again and don't even remember that I planned on responding to it. Dumb example, but things happen. Don't take it too personally.

I just don't like it when conversations just abruptly end with no proper closure and I'm left wondering well did this person get notified of my reply or is ignoring me like what gives? If you don't want to discuss anymore then fine, but at least let me know you read the comment.

I heard the live performances. They don't sound like Sabrina to me. Am I being stubborn? Sure, maybe... but stubbornness to me means more so somebody who is not willing to hear the other's opinion as you make your claims. I guess you're willing to hear mine, so we'll equally share any stubbornness (or lack thereof).

You certainly are being stubborn, so apparently you think Sabrina's live performances are all a fluke and she's lip-syncing to either Rowan's voice or trying very hard to imitate her? The first idea would be silly as it mind as well be Rowan up there and not Sabrina at all. The second idea, not as silly but Sabrina wouldn't bother trying to imitate Rowan's voice as her own voice is good enough.

I'm not trying to argue over ownership of the song anyway,

This isn't about the ownership. Disney owns it of course, but this is simply about who's the main singer the whole way through.

Anything outside of that is nothing I was really interested in.

Huh? So you're only worried about this one little snippet and nothing else? So if Sabrina was said to be the one singing everything afterwards, you wouldn't care and basically I would be right since I'm saying she's the main singer the whole way through? This discussion is getting sillier and sillier by the post....

Just that part. If Sabrina's authentic Twitter account said that the lyrics you hear when watching the show are from her voice and not Rowan's, then I will gladly admit defeat. I just don't think that would happen if that was asked. I think anyone would say that is Rowan's voice.

I took the liberty to tweet Sabrina on three separate comments just a half hour ago and is waiting for her to reply. I hope she does. I of course did this before reading your PM and I had no idea you were just interested in the start of the first verse. But what I ask still works because I ask if she's the main singer the whole way through and if Rowan does simply sing in the background with no real spotlight verse as you think she has.

Manna-Fest, have you ever heard the whole song before?

Of course I did. You'd think I'll be arguing with you on who's singing the song the whole way through if I didn't even care to listen to the whole thing? I'm not that dumb to do such a thing and then have this slap me in the face. When I have discussions, I make sure I analyze things in it's entirety.

I only ask because I hadn't, until now.

Oh.....my......goodness. So you came into this discussion unprepared? I'm arguing about the entire song and you're telling me I'm wrong and now it becomes clear you've simply been focused on one part of it? Seriously?

I just bought it on iTunes so I could play with some vocal separation things to kind of "prove" that it's Rowan, but after playing through the whole song I found a little break after the bridge, right here:

In this part, first Rowan sings, then it switches to Sabrina. I think/hope all of us can agree on that there.

You think it's Sabrina the whole way through? Seems odd you'd think Rowan would only be given this tiny little portion and then be tossed to the back to do basically-unnoticeable-background-vocals-to-the-casual-ear for the rest of the song. Why not just have Sabrina do that part?

So now the question is... can you hear that same switch in the "first verse" compared to the "second verse"? Because I hear that exact same voice to be Rowan's in the very first verse. I hear absolutely nothing that sounds like Sabrina in any way whatsoever. Her timbre and enunciation are vastly different than that of Rowan's.

No, the voice is the same to me. There is a lighter voice in the background at the "Face to Face" part echoing the main voice which I believe/know to be Rowan's. You also have to take into consideration this was like Sabrina's first song so her voice can change a tad bit on and off so she could appear to sound a bit light in one place and deep in another. But the voice is the same to me and Rowan and Sabrina have totally different voices to be able to pull off identical singing voices so one person is singing here and if it's Sabrina the rest of the song, then it's certainly her in this first part.

Rowan's name is listed first on iTunes when you purchase it... but again, I don't think that matters much at all. I'm only stating who I believe to be singing that first part of the song on the studio recording.

It doesn't and it's reasonable since she's the star but everywhere else you find the song Sabrina's name is first and you seem to be convinced it's her singing the rest of it which is what I've been explaining to you this whole time. If I can't convince you it's Sabrina's voice even in the first part, and if Sabrina doesn't respond to my tweets, then at least we can agree it's her for the rest though you do have to wonder why Rowan was given this one little spotlight part and throw to the back for the rest of the song. Makes it more believable that it's Sabrina's voice there too.
