“She’s not just pretty but AMAZING!” I really have to say this when I first listened to her latest song, “In Your Arms”. I had to get back to Google and search that this girl is the unsigned artist for real and YES! She is! She did very great works on each video. Check out her latest Music Video and you will know what I mean.

Great right?

I really love the idea that she put in this music video. It is called a stop-motion music video, using 288,000 Jelly Belly jellybeans! Woo!! So now you might think, how long did it take to finish this project? Well, it took about 2 years to complete the project, read FOX news, BUT it’s worth! After uploading this music video on YouTube, the video accumulated over four million views within a month! THIS IS AMAZING!
