This was very pretty. I liked it. There’s still a bit of something lacking in Pia, but I really think she’s showing growth, and that’s great. She just needs that little injection of charisma (not a literal injection, mind you), and she’d be all set.

A few notes:
-If I were a girl and a guy were singing looking at me like that I would be giggling like a sick little mofo.
-LOL @ 3:01, the camera focusing on Pia while the guy was singing (louder than she was, anyway) made it look like Pia had balls drop and tried to do a Scotty deep voice o_O.
-As for the hug being awkward, I’m thinking Pia is so pretty that she makes any guy act awkward around her, like when I met her after the tour concert and almost embarrassed myself. “Hey Pia, I’m a huge……*pause*….. fan?”

 I’m laughing so hard at this- ty for posting lol. I literally listened to my mother rant for 20 minutes after watching that video- “What is wrong with him? Why is he touching her? How dare he, he needs to keep his hands to himself!” and on and on. My mother is even more protective of Pia than I am, lol.

She sounded awesome as usual :)

You’re kidding, right? “All she has to do is look interested in their advances”??? They’re 16 and 17 year old kids. She’s 23. How would that be in any way appropriate???

That’s the thing about Pia.  What you see and hear is what you get, a genuinely passionate, beautiful vocalist without pretense.  She doesn’t put on a act, to make a spectacle of herself.  It’s not necessary and would detract from her vocals.  That her shy, demure persona shines through in her honest, compelling voice is more than enough to satisfy me.
