The audience was in awe when the young lady stepped up to the microphone and belted out the National Anthem. Her tone was incredible, and her voice was clear and powerful, especially when she kicked it up with an octave to reach “rockets red glare.”
Ten-year-old Bella Capri Rostron is on a rocket trajectory of her own, destined to be a big star. She went on to wow the crowd with her version of “God Bless America,” starting off with the rarely heard preamble to the Irving Berlin classic. The Longwood fifth grader was busy over the Veterans Day weekend, bestowing her Patriotic voice onto a number of gatherings.
After her star turn at the ceremony in Bartlett Pond Park, Bella jumped up on a makeshift stage her dad set up and serenaded the audience with a few more songs while accompanying herself on the keyboard. Her dad, Jarrod, an Army Major, and her mom proudly watched as their young songstress channeled the likes of Taylor Swift and Shania Twain with her red, white, and blue cowboy hat.
“What a beautiful voice,” proclaimed Gail Lynch-Bailey, organizer of the annual Middle Island event. “Bella Capri is going places.” Assemblyman Joe DeStefano agreed. “For those of us who heard her sing for the first time, we were blown away.”
Bella Capri is all over the Internet with a ton of videos of her doing popular song covers in both studio videos and live performances, adding an acoustic, heartfelt touch with piano and ukulele. From soothing string tunes to powerful piano covers, she cranks out viral hits, inspirational songs, 80s-90s classics, and contemporary favorites.
“Whether you're a kid enjoying Disney covers or an adult who loves timeless classics, there's something for everyone,” she exclaims. “As a rising young star, I always explore new songs and styles. If you enjoy kid cover songs and live performances and want to watch a young talent grow, join the BellaCapri family.”
