Wow, for high school she already has a lot of artistry. She needs help with breathing which is why the climax fell apart a little and she popped up into head voice (the breath needs to be controlled throughout the phrase in order to stay in mixed belt as you go up. I think she just didn't get enough air in to sustain the mixed belt throughout that phrase) but all in all, great job!!
GREAT singing. But, I'm going to have to commit the cardinal sin of trumpet players... the trumpet's too loud... Now I have to go shoot myself for sayin' that... :(
Having seen all of the Pimpernel videos on your channel, I simply have to wish this actress the best of luck in her theatre career. Her performance really is a tour de force for a high school student - I'll have to keep an eye out for her.
after all these years of youtube, i finally created an account just so i could comment on this video. i love her voice. it is amazing for highschool. i hope she has continued to sing over the years and i can only imagine what she sounds like now if she has.
She could've dictated the word AT a bit better...it sounds a bit like "ah"....Pit's not bad...slight intonation issues. But overall....excellent job for a HS production!!! One of my favorite musicals ever and I miss it so very much. Brava!
@JeannineAnne Dictated??? You don't "dictate" in singing -- you enunciate... Not sure why you think her "at" is a problem. it's very clear every single time she sings it. Maybe listen again, and it's definitely not an "ah" either.. She is excellent for a HS singer, that's for sure.. Once she has more training -- which at this point she probably has -- she will be a force in theater.
A lovely young girl with a voice that is mature beyond her years. Quite pleasant to listen to, I disagree with comments that she was shouting. Vocally, I have just a few quibbles, like a couple of "atchews" instead of "at yous", but overall, very nice, especially when you take into account that this is a HS production. She has a few actor mannerisms that bug, a little stiff, but most singers who act have those problems.
Apparently Miley Cyrus has a new song called "When I Look At You". It's so annoying, because now if I want to listen to this song here, I have to type "scarlet pimpernel" in the search box, too. :(
Damn Miley, making my life harder!! lol
Anyway...what a beautiful voice. (Not Miley Cyrus, the girl singing this, lol.)
I can't believe she's only 16. She sounds like an adult!!
hands down she was incredible and I think was really showed that she was such a powerhouse, vocally and as an actor, was how she continued through her song/performance dispite the somewhat distracting brass section. 5 stars! You go girl!
Spectacular. As good as the Original Broadway Cast Soundtrack, but very original, so it couldnt be better. The best performance of this song on You Tube I've seen. You go girl!!
absolutely astonishing. WONDERFUL voice. i'm incredibly impressed. i already love this song and your performance brought it to the next level. truly amazing.
Not very good acting skills but WOW What an amazingly talented voice and a great control on her vabrato. Good Belt as well not too powerful just perfect! And good space and dynamics! IN all an excellent job done!
who ever sed she is yelling obviously doesnt know a thing about singing, at 16 this girl is fantastic and the powerfulness is called Belt! i certainly wouldnt critsize her cuz i wouldnt be able to do better. Well done
yeah this girl has serious talent...and an extremely mature voice for her age. she needs some training, but i think she could go a long ways with her voice. :)
This girl is in HS!?!?? WOW. You are frickin' amazing. These people who are negative have no clue what they are talking about. There is NO yelling in this performance, and the vocal quality is amazing. I honestly think she could walk into a Broadway audition with this song and get the part. What an incredible future you have. The only negative I can hear is that the head voice needs to be blended with the middle a little more. You have the complete package- beautiful voice and stage presence!
It might sound to others like she is "yelling" because she doesn't have good breath control there. She doesn't breathe with her diaphragm as she should; you can see her chest rise a lot. She says "at choo" instead of "at you." Other than that, it is beautiful!
Man I miss Spring Woods, I was in choir with miss fry I remember when I first met Christina it was her first year st spring woods. I thought she had an amazing voice!! And she still does =D GREAT JOB GUYS!!
i really dont see how she is yelling? she has a constant vibratto through out the whole song. You dont get a vibratto by yelling. Another way i know that its not yelling is when she sings "for all the fools like me" you can tell the dramatic decrcendo what she does. it shows control. i just dont see how its yelling. i say 5 stars lol but hey its your opinion and i respect it

Well her voice is so mature here. It would be neat to see how she's come along since 2006. (The conductor is doing a nice job following along.)
