interesting cover of "Return to serenity" (female vocals)

just found this. The guitar playing isn't terribly impressing, but the singer sounds fantastic, in my opinion.
Not a professional performance, of course but for a school contest (it seems like it's one) this sounds great.
for anyone who cares:

I love female vocals when done right, these weren't done right! Minus the guy messing up towards the begining, I feel the guitaring was the best part! I felt he did a great job with the solos and the girl did a great job with the rhythm.

i enjoyed that very much. Chuck is the master with it of course, but hearing this lady sing it just really takes me deep into my own head. Very good performance.

Well, it would be kinda unfair to compare it to the original... because it is just perfect. But respect for them for making the somewhat unusual choice to cover a Testament song in such a setting.

Of the rather few ballads Testament wrote, this is by far my favorite and a sign for how flexible this band is/was. Such a great song...

Seems like some harsh reviews to me....

I think she has a cool voice and does a good job singing WHILE playing the second guitar spot. Except for a few minor miscues, the guy playing lead did a very good job all things considered.

I would give both applause and credit!

i think it's great, much respect for the lady that plays the guitar and sings, also the the guy. I would've loved to see this in my school
