Carrie’s Debut Short Film
"Manolakos, whose background is in musical theatre, performs the song with perfect earnestness, closing her eyes and choking back tears. She floats lightly over the soft notes and reaches up to a stringent wail towards the middle of the song."
“And there is that ‘voice’ which is just phenomenal and takes you to another place. When Carrie Manolakos sings, it’s impossible not to feel it. She takes the audience on an emotional journey.”
"While her high notes are nothing short of stratospheric, the subtler notes of Manolakos' performance really shine."
"I tried my best. I really did. I tried my best to get through this without any Creep covers. But this one is so good that I'd be crazy not to include it...And man, she just crushed it. There's really not much to say besides: God Almighty, that climax!"
