GREAT SONG. I wish the singer had let us hear it...instead she actor-bates (think about it, say it out loud, you'll get it) all over it. Audra does the same thing actually ("My Stupid Mouth" was cute) but since she sings like AUDRA MCDONALD, you forgive her. This Meredith lady is nice enough but she sings like eveyone else in her genre; nothing spectacular. And I'm sure if I saw her sing this twice, the performances would be identical and that's boring. IMO
In response to @jnetusil's comment......I think Meredith is great both on the singing and acting fronts - love the fact you can see her thoughts so clearly - that's what musical theatre is all about isn't it? Audra is lovely too - a very different style, so not really fair to compare them. In my opinion they are both hugely talented beautiful women who do wonderful versions of this great song. Don't think your " borderline tacky" comment was very kind or called for really. Well done M I say!!
I have never seen this play nor do I know the meaning behind the character, but this song sounds to me like a woman who is never satisfied. Although the ending could be regret, it could also be her reflecting on just another thing she "couldn't" have. i do love the song, but can anyone else at least see that aspect of this?
The whole play is written for a quartet( I THINK), one soprano, one mezzo/belter/character singer, one tenor and one baritone. It is a compilation of songs that have slightly the same feeling behind them, but there is no plot. Each scene is a new character, with a totally different song. They all make up a chorus at some points that sing songs that just keep the show flowing. She's singing about all the things she THINKS she wants in life....
and then at the end gets all the things she thought she wanted(mostly materialistic) and realizes that the things that these other two men could have given her had she let them, and how they could have enriched her life in a way that this man and his money and possessions couldn't possibly do.
She sounds like it's her life she's talking about.
This lady has the talent to make you laugh during the song and make you cry in the end. THAT is HARD.
Personally, I've seen MANY videos of this song (believe me, I'm using this song for auditions) and other actresses show only sadness through the entire song. But here, it seems as she is remembering, and she smiles...
Dunno, I find this version the perfect one.
Has also makeup and the right clothes and earrings..
Great song - WONDERFUL rendition by Meredith. I had the GREAT GOOD fortune to work with this extraordinary talent in a dinner theatre production of CAMELOT...Lucky man that I am, she was my partner for a couple of numbers. I knew it then - she was on her way! I absolutely LOVE this woman. Her talent and beauty is only matched by her warmth and humor(!). I am so bloody happy for her, and very, very proud of her. She has my love always. Steve.
@hptwilightaddict Steffi D's is good, I'll admit, but it doesn't have the same raw emotion that this one does. I actually got goosebumps at the end and I wanted to cry.
wow! very good! i have been looking for a good version of "Stars And Moon", and this is the best i have found yet, just the right amount of drama, but enough hiumor to keep the audience laughing.
when i went to go see "Songs For A New World", my friend's sister was doing this song, she has this beautiful angel-sweet voice, and so innocent too, she did very well, (got one of the longest applauses in the show) i really wish that i had a video of that performance.
Wow she's amazing at this song - ive heard this song sung by so many people and this is by far the best singing and performance i've seen. Fantastic stuff! x
Brilliant! She's such an amazingly well-rounded performer, I could see every thought that went through her head. Truly amazing; beautiful voice, perfect composure, and she hit every note on the head with confidence. Meredith, you are a role model to anyone in the performing arts business.
Probably the best rendition of this song i have heard!! i love her passion, and she takes a more lighthearted view on this song compared to other performners!! i loved it!!
I just think your amazing...i LOVE the characterisation you brought to the roll i was in stitches like never before and ive heard this song a million times! You inspired me to sing it for a very important audition...i fell in love with the song all over again.

I've to sing "Stars and the Moon" in a couple of weeks, in an open class, and this video has been absolutely inspirational.
I'm not a native English speaker, so I had a hard time with the lyrics, but this performance helped me understand them much better.
Thanks!

the pianist is not playing what is written... there are no staccato notes written in.
it detracts from the singing.
