A la nanita nana nanita ella, nanita ella
Mi niña tiene sueño, bendito sea, bendito sea

I'll never understand why Adrienne was insecure about the sound of her voice. It's SO beautiful.

@keziajoylondon5362

She was? She has always been my favorite because of her voice

@kishaross918

She says she doesn’t like it because she sounds young. Honestly she does even now

@OReily08080

Really? I was obsessed with her voice

@niamcfoy1662

@Kezia Joy London she still is

@vonmaximoff1742

She thinks that she sounds too young. Which isn’t bad. She just like us. We doubt our own gifts

i love how the other girls actually briefly discuss how they can harmonize before joining them, it’s so unnatural when other people jump in like they magically know a song they never heard before lol

@lethumthiyane5245

I kinda wish it was just Belinda and Adrienne singing this as a duet

@nikkorin

I really like also how they're not in perfect sync, belinda throws some off tempo phrases. It makes sense cause they didn't rehearse it ever. It's those details

@flaurprod

am i the only one concerned that the guy in the stage wasn’t getting attention for his perormance😂
