Animation was okay, as well as the vocals and music. I'm glad you share the pain of that song :p, but if it was longer, it'd be a more interesting flash. Keep up the good work. :)

I am so new at flash animation, this took forever and is so much less fancy than I intended, but after 8+ hours of drawing in one day I'm so done.
Uses a small part of the Call Me Maybe chorus by Carly Rae Jepsen, well under 30 seconds so it falls under fair use. Choking sound was from Freesound.org, "shut up" is me.
Don't hate me. I'm new at this.
Pretty decent animation!
To be far, your flash is a not bad... it need a few things though:
First, you need a Preloader and reply button:
If you do not know, you can just copy the get a ready Preloader from NewGrounds there you can add it to your flash and that is it. For the replay button, follow theses small steps:
1-Draw a small circle and write replay.
2-Convert your circle into a button and name it is property to btn_Reply.
3-Create a new layer in the beginning, âEUoeNOT ON THE BUTTONâEU.
4-Put this script inside the new layer at the end of the flash:
stop();
Btn_Reply.onRelease = function()
{
gotoAndStop(1);
}
.
5-btn_Reply is after the your button name in the property, âEUoeNOT THE SYMPOL NAMEâEU .
Second, you need to resize your flash size:
In the setting of your flash in NewGrounds, change the size of the flash to make it fit in newgrounds with no white look.
Last, it is better to use only one thing a graphic or a movie clip.
Because if you used both of them it may not work properly if someone by mistake pressed the forward button. This mean the reaction will go before your girl body.
Keep up the good work.
Ps. if you need any help you can just pm.

Thanks a lot for the response, I really appreciate it. :) When I was originally doing this, I just had plans to put it on youtube where of course buttons wouldn't work so I didn't bother putting them in. But on here, they're pretty much mandatory -_- I do indeed have no idea how to make one, but I can find some tutorials and try to fit one in. I was just so tired of working on this all day, I just wanted to get it up to show my friends lol.
And yeah I had issues with the size. I made it at 1280x720 but NG wouldn't let me upload it at that size, so I tried to figure out what a smaller size within the limits would be...alas I suck at math so I got it wrong lol.
The reason I used nested animations was because if I did it all on one layer I would have to move the mouths to the side every time she swayed, so I thought it was better if I put the lip sync animation inside the singer movie clip, and then just moved the movie clip. Unfortunately that created problems with it continuing to play afterward, but like I said I'm new at this. -_-
lol
Not bad, not bad at all.
The audio was clear.
The animation was alright (but nothing worth nothing)
The art was pretty good. Really realistic, I guess you put all your effort on it.
Just some constructive criticism:
- You could have added a play button so it wouldnt loop forever. I never heard the song, and Im already hating it as I write this...
- Change the title... why is there a .jpg thing there? It makes it sound as if it had poor quality
- You could have extended the ending a little bit.
Anyway, keep it up. If you keep drawing like this and improve you animation skills I wouldnt be surprised to find one day your animations in the front page =)

Um, nope.jpg is a pretty well known meme meaning "not gonna happen"...
But thanks for the rest. When I can learn how to do that stuff, I'll input it. :)
