I'm sorry, but I just didn't see much expression in this. There seemed to be more hate than humor in the lines that were meant to be funny. Other than that, I couldn't hear any real emotion behind the lyrics.
It's ok, but it sounds to low for the dude. Maybe try moving it up a whole step or even a step and a half. Nicholas Brendon has a very low voice, and it's clear he didn't under go too much vocal training. My partner and I are singing this for a buffy karaoke celebration and it's a challenge for us too!
I think we're all a bit biased because we all know and love the original. It's like, if we got another actress to come along and play Buffy for an episode, we'd all abuse the crap out of her, even if she was actually better than SMG. Humans don't like change :)
I think you both did a nice job. The sound in the video is pretty quiet, but that's the only thing that really took away from my enjoyment. I think some other commenters are forgetting that the TV version has 6 years of character development behind it...if you're used to seeing certain people playing a role, it takes time to warm up to others. I bet it was a fun song to perform. Nice job again :)
yeah... it's not crap, just different and I think everyone is so looking for the same quirky spark left by Emma and Nicholas on the show, but no one can really mimic that unless you're actually acting it. You guys had a different style so people aren't jumping around for it exactly. But good job.
Please please plase if you are going to slag these folk off and I'll admit they're shite! Can't beat the original i agree but please please please if you are going to slate them them use the correct spelling of words. @angelbbz7 - you used the wrong spelling of there. It should be "they're crap...." not "there crap...." - same goes for LiamStainesby94. No excuse for bad grammar.
These two don't understand the meaning of the song, obviously. And why are brother and sister getting married? and formal clothing takes away from the intimacy between the characters. yikes
I think you two can really sing. I mean the only thing I would change would be more props and maybe more doing things like in the show, however, I really enjoyed it and this was the best part of this live act I have seen. You two should be proud. I think some people don't understand that your performance could probably never be as good as the original because usually the original is always the best. However, you guys did a great job!
amazing Rendition. I think the guy nailed it... she needs to watch the episode a few more times, the attitude seamed a little off... AWSOME job though guys, lol
I totally respect the effort, but I'm sorry, dude, you totally ruined the "tight... embrace! Tight embrace!" joke/line. You would've nailed the "firm yet supple... tight embrace!" joke, but it requires setting it up properly with the earlier line. If you should perform this again, that's my main constructive criticism which can be fixed in a practical/easy way. Big props on posting this despite the fact that people will hold you to an impossible standard.
these two are great singers! I think I know why so many commenters dislike it though, because Xander and Anya are crazy, weird, hilarious characters and these two are more "proper" or how to say. She would have been a great Tara I think
well they can do better because they spent so many years developig the character themselves...these guys are just taking what they see and trying to adapt it.
It's ok. I didn't feel that the voices really suited Anya and Xander. Jeff and Dianne are ok, but might be better suited for different roles, and not exactly in the Buffy musical. Though Jeff could pull off the muster guy and Dianne the parking ticket lady.
That's the unfortunate thing... it's like watching the movie Rent (musical) and expecting the stage musical to be AS GOOD. They have big shoes to fill and taking that into consideration they do very well...
Thi version is soo much better than the other live one...these guys can actually sing, and they can act, and dance. Quite frankly the other one..well they do all those things like they are recovering from having a large dose of pot.
lol yeah people are being to harsh. I'm a Buffy obsessive fan myself and dispised that other musical thing they put up, it was awful!!! Their Xander was tone deaf =O. Great singing again =)
Good Job! People are always going to be critical about Buffy tributes - otherwise we wouldn't be doing our jobs as obsessive fans! *lol* I think the point is that we loved it enough to actually do it - rather than moan about it on video websites. :D
I thought the guy playing Xander was doing a great job-until he completely lost the "tight embrace" joke!! The vocals were great, but it wasn't funny at all. If they had've paid more attention to the comedy I would have loved it
ok, i love the musical but it just feels something is missing in this performance. there both good singers but the guys voice didnt sound lyk xanders, which in some cases may be a good thing but it just didnt sound rite. it was a good effort, keep trying!
Yes I agree all the comic banter is completely lost. They play it too straight, but I don't think it's the performers choice so it's an okay performance.
Pay no attention to any of these people they just don't like variation from the original. As an actress in musical theatre i thought this was an exceptional performance. Well done
this is really bad...sorry but you ruined the original. And don't say i don't know anything about musical theatre because i've been over 20 productions :)
also i want to point out that while you can sing ( not well i might add), you can not expect buffy fans to just see this as 'fun'. As a buffy fan myself, i feel you let the number down.Don't just hash something out like you have done! you may think i'm overly critical but don't even pretend to be 'professional' by putting on something like this!
Your comments show that you are not truly a Buffy fan. The Buffyverse is an inclusive place, not elitist and judgemental. These are people who made an effort to bring something very special to more people and that alone is awesome. The characters on Buffy are very difficult to duplicate.
joss Whedon himself has said how much he loves htese live productions so if it is good enough for him it should be good enough for you.
Technically the performance was great. But the cast had more chemistry which was felt and heard in the original that simply wasn't in any of the live productions I've seen.
If this couple had a bit more chemistry they would have been amazing. And I do realize that the couple have the same last name so I'm guessing they're married. Doesn't mean they have great chemistry though.
you are 15 and call yourself karaoke pwincess, wow i am going to take your opinion as gospel.. I see you have posted lots of great vids of yourself performing....oh wait, no you haven't, perhaps with good reason!
Has any theatre ever put on a PROFESSONAL live version of the Buffy Musical?
I live near the state theatre in Virginia, The Barter Theatre.... Near Halloween, they somnetimes run Dracula... I would give a weeks pay to be able to watch Once More With Feeling at the Barter!
Oh please Addstar, get a grip have you not read the rest of the comments and realise you have wasted your breath? OUT OF CONTEXT...NOT A REPLICA OF SHOW...BIT OF FUN...STOP BEING SUCH A BUFFY GEEK. And wrecks, please, wrecks is that the best verb you have?
dude if they are going to do a replica of the song then at least they should give justice to it. and what the hell not a replica of buffy they mentiond her in the f'n song i mean jeesh. joss whedon put a lot of effort coming up with that song and if they leave some parts out it. it dose 'wreck' it and dude wtf bagging my vocab lol.
and plus notise the '1+ good comment' on my comment.
so look like i good and you are bad bad you maby go grrr but oh well coz u smell funyy ha ha ha....
with him and the embrace they are right, he nailed the rest even with inflection then left that flat like he didn't even get the joke himself. Feels like a shame to nail everything else then miss that. Everything else for a stage show is A+++ they need to actually tour shows like this.
The only thing negative I have to say is that I disliked the set up, you didn't get to use all the humorous moments that were built into the song. Other than that, it was quite enjoyable. ^_^
yeah-it's always hard to do a number like that out of context. We were also a bit restricted in what we could say and do for this show as we where performing in a school theatre & they where pretty strict with their rules eg we had to take the "f" word out of the Avenue Q stuff we did! Frustrating but thems the breaks!! :-)
Is there anybody who has got the instrumental versions of the songs of Once more with feeling? I have an amateurish musical group in Hungary. If you want we can swap, because I have a lot of karaoke and instrumental version of pop and musical songs.
No problem, and yeah the one of the comments below was right, people only get really defensive over it because, they love buffy soooo much, they can't stand to see anyone else do it, and because the buffy world is only alive in comics now not t.v so yeah, i really like this one, keep it up and send me a message sometime;)
Ok i have to admit, they dont sound anything like Emma & Nicolas, but they made it there own, which is good, i really enjoyed it!!! and theyre both rather hot lol! but yeah will deifnetley go and see live!! A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ yous are f*****g awesome!!!
hmm ok I just saw what I said this morning... ok that's true no need to say it like that, and I don't have to say that's so bad Im not a singer soory for what I said I guess I can't compare^^
Thanks Amicka for your response (the third one), Dianne and I are both award winners and work professionally in the industry. I hate that people view youtube and not look at the content for what it is. This is a bit of fun and in no way a reflection of the TV show. If people have constructive criticism i am all for it but when it is an uneducated, unwarranted attack then said people should perhaps keep their comments to themselves.
so you really have nothing constructive to say then?! By the way, you may THINK the rhythm is wrong but at least I KNOW how to spell it!! ps the lyrics were exactly as the official sheet music was written.
Nicky was acting while he was singing, and he's a really charming actor with a really charming part to play. That's why people don't like this version as much.
I think a lot of people are having problems with this because the Buffy musical was driven by the characters, not the songs...therefore, most of the humor and appeal of the music was driven by the actors' performances. The songs sound really flat and boring when pulled out of context. The singing is fine, but without the real chemistry between Xand and Anya and a camera perspective, what's the point?
You are right the songs are not the same out of context however our aim was to show the people of Adelaide that there is more to musical theatre than Oaklahoma!! (ps Jeff & Dianne are married with a beautiful daughter, Inara, so the chemistry is right where it counts!!) ;-)
I hated musicals (even after seeing the Buffy musicals) until I saw Cabaret a couple of months ago. Now I've got the male lead in a school production of The Fantasticks...in a school full of musical theater nerds. Explain that to me.
There is nothing wrong with Oklahoma..just a classic that came to mind when making my point. I've played roles from Brigadoon to Evita so I certainly have an appreciation of all musicals. But like yourself if people only see the same type of musical they may not ever see one they like & think that all musicals suck! Good luck in your production DkL :-)
I don't have to accept until next week and there were other good auditions...I'm seriously thinking about not doing it so I have a chance to do some straight theater. Ugh, fecking choices.
Never pass up the opportunity to gain experience but at the same time go with your gut feeling. A great musical theatre performer is one who can act & sing (at the same time!!)so straight theatre is really valuable. Hey it's better to have choices than rejections!!!
If they more more feeling into it, it would have been awesome.

You are so right!
The gut sounds like crap, they aren't wearing proper costumes!!!
So what if I am BTVS geek?
You don't go and try to do that without even putting any effort in to it!

with him and the embrace they are right, he nailed the rest even with inflection then left that flat like he didn't even get the joke himself. Feels like a shame to nail everything else then miss that. Everything else for a stage show is A+++ they need to actually tour shows like this.

The only thing negative I have to say is that I disliked the set up, you didn't get to use all the humorous moments that were built into the song. Other than that, it was quite enjoyable. ^_^

yeah-it's always hard to do a number like that out of context. We were also a bit restricted in what we could say and do for this show as we where performing in a school theatre & they where pretty strict with their rules eg we had to take the "f" word out of the Avenue Q stuff we did! Frustrating but thems the breaks!! :-)

despite all the other criticism, constructive or not, i enjoyed it a lot.

Is there anybody who has got the instrumental versions of the songs of Once more with feeling? I have an amateurish musical group in Hungary. If you want we can swap, because I have a lot of karaoke and instrumental version of pop and musical songs.

No problem, and yeah the one of the comments below was right, people only get really defensive over it because, they love buffy soooo much, they can't stand to see anyone else do it, and because the buffy world is only alive in comics now not t.v so yeah, i really like this one, keep it up and send me a message sometime;)

The woman is very good. Her facial expressions during the beginning dialogue, her voice, her singing. She's very talented.
The guy is alright but not as talented as her. Doesn't have a pleasant singing voice either.

If two people on stage having fun provokes such emotion then perhaps you need to get a life.
jefflang007 4 years ago
this is no emotion this is reactions becaus it screwed a good song and don't worry about my life mine is perfect thx
amicka75 4 years ago
hmm ok I just saw what I said this morning... ok that's true no need to say it like that, and I don't have to say that's so bad Im not a singer soory for what I said I guess I can't compare^^
amicka75 4 years ago
Thanks Amicka for your response (the third one), Dianne and I are both award winners and work professionally in the industry. I hate that people view youtube and not look at the content for what it is. This is a bit of fun and in no way a reflection of the TV show. If people have constructive criticism i am all for it but when it is an uneducated, unwarranted attack then said people should perhaps keep their comments to themselves.
jefflang007 4 years ago
I welcome any future praise or "constructive" criticism from you in the future.

they do not know the rythm and they are missing a few words!!

which words????
jefflang007 4 years ago
How can i remember that song is soo bad!!
buffynum1 4 years ago
so you really have nothing constructive to say then?! By the way, you may THINK the rhythm is wrong but at least I KNOW how to spell it!! ps the lyrics were exactly as the official sheet music was written.
jefflang007 4 years ago
Nicky was acting while he was singing, and he's a really charming actor with a really charming part to play. That's why people don't like this version as much.
darrylglass5102 4 years ago
I think a lot of people are having problems with this because the Buffy musical was driven by the characters, not the songs...therefore, most of the humor and appeal of the music was driven by the actors' performances. The songs sound really flat and boring when pulled out of context. The singing is fine, but without the real chemistry between Xand and Anya and a camera perspective, what's the point?
darrylglass5102 4 years ago
You are right the songs are not the same out of context however our aim was to show the people of Adelaide that there is more to musical theatre than Oaklahoma!! (ps Jeff & Dianne are married with a beautiful daughter, Inara, so the chemistry is right where it counts!!) ;-)

Oklahoma? What's wrong with Oklahoma? :P
I hated musicals (even after seeing the Buffy musicals) until I saw Cabaret a couple of months ago. Now I've got the male lead in a school production of The Fantasticks...in a school full of musical theater nerds. Explain that to me.
darrylglass5102 4 years ago
There is nothing wrong with Oklahoma..just a classic that came to mind when making my point. I've played roles from Brigadoon to Evita so I certainly have an appreciation of all musicals. But like yourself if people only see the same type of musical they may not ever see one they like & think that all musicals suck! Good luck in your production DkL :-)
jefflang007 4 years ago
I don't have to accept until next week and there were other good auditions...I'm seriously thinking about not doing it so I have a chance to do some straight theater. Ugh, fecking choices.
darrylglass5102 4 years ago
Never pass up the opportunity to gain experience but at the same time go with your gut feeling. A great musical theatre performer is one who can act & sing (at the same time!!)so straight theatre is really valuable. Hey it's better to have choices than rejections!!!
