Disneyland - Smile

[bookloverholic]

brilliant, and i love ur haircut in this

[PeaceLoveParis]

you have an amazing voice!!! but you're pronunciation is so harsh! try softening your a's. but otherwise you're incredible.

[kristenbrookslove]

where did you find the sheet music to this? great job by the way!

[nekoexcel]

@kristenbrookslove the same place SFVGAchoi did. The Musical Theatre Anthology for Teens.

[SFVGAchoi]

my goodness, this is fantastic! definetely the best Disneyland on YouTube

where did you get the sheet music? did you get it from the score? my version is from Musical Theatre Anthology for Teens and the accompaniment in your video is much better than mine. if you could let me know, that'd be amazing. thank you!

[nekoexcel]

@SFVGAchoi I'm glad you enjoyed it so much, but the sheet music the accompanist had was the same version as the Hal Leonard book. :-) I don't know if he riffed/improvised on it, but you and I have the same version.

[cortneyjo]

I was wanting to sing this for an audition. My sheet music is the hey of C , but yours in Bflat.. do you lower it? i want your key!!! LoL

[yochristophercameron]

there was a girl, she was about eleven and went to the same arts camp as me. and this wasn't bad, but when this little girl sang it, it was THIRTY times better!

[fleetsongs20]

mediocre.

stick to pageants

[xmisfitromance]

to sammielou1;

i have the sheet music.

its in a book called

"musical theatre anthology for teens"

'young womens edition'

its a great book to have.

as to where to find it,

maybe check amazon?

[sammielou1]

thanks!!

[sammielou1]

where on earth did you get the sheet music for this song. i did the west coast premier of the show in 1988 and have looked high and low for the music. any thoughts? thanks.

[methebookworm]

Beauty. Love the song.

[Miwako777]

wow, this was really good:) It could have turned out really corny and souped up, but u sang it very well. Very genuine

[marcmavvv]

wow.

this is much better.

alot of the belle stuff. i heard was flat alot. i guess because you we're sick.

this is good.

you have a good voice.

[nekoexcel]

Thanks! Yeah. I keep saying this, but it's true: The weekend they filmed the show (it was a five week run) I couldn't even SPEAK when offstage. That's the shape my voice was in. It was horrendous, so while I don't love the quality of my singing in those videos, I'm proud and surprised I sounded as good as it did. lol

[marcmavvv]

it's already amazing you got to play belle.

this is really impressive.

and you're a good actress too.

especially in "Belle"

i loved how you played her.

[disneygibbs]

I love this song! You have done an absolutely amazing job with it! I used to work in WDW in Florida, and this totally somes up my Disney obsession! Thanks for posting it!

[Etcy]

this is beautiful! you did a fabulous job!

[ably192]

has any one ever told u that u look like alyssa milano??

[tearsdryalone]

she sooo looks like alyssa milano ur right

[themonican2005]

I WAS IN SMILE A FEW YEARS AGO PLAYING Little Bob Freelander's best friend [Can't even remember my own character's name] But I LOVE this song! Thanks so much for bringing back those memories, makes me wanna cry lol.

[yahoosier]

Hello... thank you for posting your audition, I hope you got the part! At least I thought you performed exceptionally well. I had seen the musical (Smile!) in Indianapolis at Theatre on the Square... sometime in the early 90's when they were still at Fountain Square... and absolutely loved it. Howard Ashman was such a huge contributor to the "rebirth" period of Disney's animation studio... to me, it's ironic that not long after he wrote this song he was working for them.

[nekoexcel]

:-) This wasn't an audition; it was just for class. I would be dressed much better for an audition. I've never seen anything in Theatre on the Square, but was just in a show at Indianapolis Civic before I moved out to New York. Howard Ashman's music is some of my favorite.

[yahoosier]

I like Howard Ashman, too. Including the non-Disney Little Shop of Horrors. And I see in the related videos that you were Belle (Beauty+Beast) at Civic. Sorry I missed that... who knows, maybe someday you'll perform in Indianapolis again. :)

[PecsNips]

Howard didn't write music; he wrote lyrics (as I'm sure you know, if you're singing one of his songs). For everyone else: Marvin Hamlisch wrote the music for "Disneyland"; most of Howard's lyrics were set to music by Alan Menken. "Disneyland" is not one of his best, in my opinion, but you sing it really wonderfully.

[nekoexcel]

Thanks. Yeah. By "music" meant, the generic song.... not necissarily the actual MUSIC to the song. I know he's a lyricist.

[madmaddie353]

OMG!!!! thank you soooooo much for the cast demo link!!! yea im in this theater camp right now, well they want us to call it "workshop" btu anyway i need to sing this song for music class and all she gave us was backround music and i had no idea when to start! thanx a bunch! and u were really good too!

[CinderellaBelle]

o i luv disneyland!

[CinderellaBelle]

have u ever been 2 disneyland...

[nekoexcel]

No. Just DisneyWorld.

[star1234510]

i agree, this is a great song, but I might not use it for an audition

[yourenot]

amazing.

[cranberrie05]

i sang this song for a class-- i thought it was great-- but its too theamed for any auditions

[SparrowFreak]

Neko! You have an awesome voice!!

[jgkdmk]

I have to learn this song! Ahh it sums up all my feelings about Disney (except that I like Disney World better than Disneyland :) There's no point when there's no EPCOT.)

[MissMadeline]

I love this, Whit =] I even think it's better than Jodi Benson singing it!

[mikokat]

Hmm, weird, I am a MAJOR Disney Park fan, and yet I never heard this song. You have a great voice!

[nekoexcel]

:-) The musical isn't well known. There's not a real cast recording of it out; just a cast demo.  ibdb(dot)com(slash)production(­dot)asp?ID=4433

[BEAUTY141]

Ausome please upload some more videos .

[giggles91887]

Never heard of this song before either but you did an incredible job as always!

[disneybelle]

How is it possible I've never heard this song!? Maybe it's because I work at Disney WORLD, lol. Good job!
