everyday life cant be this elegant and beautiful so this is such a treat
Having met Jennifer I can tell you she is a beautiful lady inside and out with great family support.
I discovered this vidoe four yrs ago. I fell in love with your arrangement. I have just watched it again, (1/30/2023), all the way through. The entire time I kept saying to myself how stunning you looked. I thought so four years ago and I still think so today. We all deal with self-doubt at times, but this video never even gave off that vibe. Thanks you for being so open with us and for sharing your gift.🤩🤩

I LOVE this song from Beauty and the Beast, and you made it even better! Amazing work! And your yellow dress is stunning. You and your music are beautiful!! I love the cello...you two make a wonderful duo.
So perfect to listen to and so beautiful to watch
That prologue gives me chills every time
Masterpiece...I love your music and you are an Artist whit capital A...Love from Italy!
Such a special message you shared touched my heart you continue to inspire me in all that you do. You are beautiful inside and out. Congratulations on your achievements you are very special. I am a huge fan and so is my son Cameron. Much love to you🕊🌟💫❤🌹🙏
I thought at first Jennifer was performing at The Fox in Atlanta where I had the pleasure of interviewing Izak Pearlman who is also one of the great cello players. I think Jennifer has also played with Tina Quo whom I also love.
This arrangement really demonstrates love and respect for the music and the spirit of the film. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, thank you for this.

I found you many years ago on Pandora. I found your confession very touching and ironic. It is perfectly clear to those of us "with eyes to see" that you have grown in grace and beauty. Thank you for your music and your heart.
so beautiful and awe-inspiring! You are an amazing talent and we are all inspired!
Wonderfull!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🥰🇧🇷

My wife couldn't find a wedding dress and the custom fitted dress fell through the day before our wedding. But my beautiful wife had a gown that she didn't ever dream would be a wedding dress. She wore it on a cruise of our first kiss, beat that! It was beyond awesome and she's still awesome today. Is she a supermodel? Thank God no. She's perfect for me and I'm perfect for her. Love much and laugh often, together. It doesn't come naturally. You have to work and fight for it. Hold on to what you love with respect and honor. He/She will hold on right back.
Les mando toda mi gratitud i esplendida alegría me siento plasentero lleno de infinita felizidad al escuchar tan espléndidas musica que cautiva en todo su esplendor y me llena de dicha e increíble felisidad divina

Beautiful rendition, love this. Greetings from Zimbabwe. Have subscribed :)
Jennifer (after listening to what you said at the end): Let your inner light shine. 🌟🤩⭐🌠💫 And just so you know. There are actually not very many people as beautiful as you are on the outside. But true inner beauty is much more important. It's who you are that counts. And I hope all the children in your family (including nieces) are learning the same thing. ^___^ Good job. Nice work. 😍 🌟🤩⭐🌠💫

Jennifer, your music helps me more than you could ever know. Thanks to getting hit by a car 3 sperate times (none my fault and last was hit and run and left for dead) now 26 surgeries I suffer with severe pain 24/7. I go to bed in pain, get woke up in the night in pain and wake up in pain. Threw the day becomes worse and that is where your music comes into play . I use music to distract my mind to put the attention on the music and not on the pain as much. Also lye in bed relaxing to music and do self hypnosis and let my mind go on a journey and leave my pain riddled body behind. When I wake up I am in less pain.

Good to see deserved Billboard classical chart success with her new album 'The Fire Within'.
WOW!!! This is my introduction to Jennifer Thomas and I’m so glad I found this video. The cover piano and cello arrangement is just so beautiful that it is beyond words!! And the video is just outstanding!! I’m addicted to it, and I’d like to say I’ve been driving up the views, but I see it already has so many and for very good reason. I love the back story that Jennifer provides at the end, and I do think it is helpful to many. Her inner beauty and talent really do shine through giving the world an absolutely beautiful person on the outside as well. Artists like Jennifer enrich lives and make the world a brighter place, and Jennifer, thank you so much for that and for sharing your talents!

The human qualities are the best part and they show that you're not a saint, you're human. ^___^ Regular humans can play beautiful music too. Or at least, some of them can. ^___^ Nothing wrong with being human. I don't think any of the divas are above everybody anyway, and if they think they are, they can think again. Jennifer, you don't think like that. Good for you. ^___^ It's so nice to see (and hear) someone beautiful and talented who knows that there's more to life than being beautiful and talented. ^____^ (You know what I mean. 😉) Love your work. Awesome job with Beauty and the Beast. Thank you for playing and posting. 😃😊🙂😀 Love. ❤💙💜 🌹💐🏵🥀🌹

Oh Jennifer, never worry or make excuses about your figure, you are voluptuous, beautiful and oh, what amazing hair! All my life I struggled to be thin at great cost to my health. Too much emphasis on being unnaturally skinny is placed on men and women these days, for what? Your talent and beauty shines through and your dresses are magical! Focus on your music and creating wonderful musical videos for us to enjoy. I see young men look, with interest, at my 23 year old gorgeous daughter who has a voluptuous figure, so forget what rubbish the media bombard us with about skinniness, it isn’t the real world. The reality is what is inside of us that counts. God bless, Karen UK x
Enchanting, a perfect match of song, piano and cello.

I love your music Jennifer. It always paints a picture in the mind of the listener... I love it.
You should play the music from a Feature Films for Families movie from the '90s called Rigoletto. It's a spin off of Beauty and the Beast, and a beautiful story with AMAZING music. It's so nostalgic for me because my sisters and I loved it as kids. I would love to hear it again!!
Found you tonight. Love your work. Wish I had your talent. You are BEAUTIFUL. Wonderfully and mysteriously made as the Bible says in Psalm139. Thank you, you made my night.
