Holy shit, where was this chick when Halford left Priest? I’m pretty certain that if the band had heard her, they would have been all, “‘Ripper’ who?”

Now, I know that if you’re an aspiring vocalist, you probably just heard this and went, “Oh, shit, I will never be as good as this girl. I’m just gonna quit.” But, really, you should look to her as an inspiration, not a deterrent. Because she didn’t get where she is today on raw talent alone; the video above is the result of lots and lots of practice and hard work. To wit:

And so, as you can see, the old cliché really is true — practice makes perfect.

Go here to see more videos by this incredible talent, including seven different versions of Van Halen’s “Jump” and at least two takes of “Hot for Teacher.”
