Annaleigh Ashford - So Much Better (Video)

[lemon1110]

I love her! -3

[vinyldaiquiri]

Laura Bell Bundy I think was a fantastic choice as Elle, but I can see Annaleigh being a really great choice too!

[MochaholicPuppy]

she messed up a lyric at 2:15 :D

[sdmoore18]

Guy at the piano is Larry O'Keefe the composer!

[TRoderick]

i was in the audience for this!

[katieharron]

So much better than LBB.

[liz4998]

can i get a thumbs up for the guy playing piano?

[mlcureton829]

I'm pretty sure shes the most amazing thing ever!!!!

[RorySeizeTheDay]

@harrypotterwicked She was Elle once for a little while.

[WaterworthJake09]

Wow she's amazing, but what about this other guy on Piano, he's workin hard and doin an awesome job

[kiaramiren]

Sure, she would make a great Elle, but if she was Elle, who would be Margot? There's no Margot like Annaleigh Ashford.

[bradleyy2kaii8]

@kiaramiren that is very true although shed be a good elle she was the best margot!

[LukeCooper25]

You think she's good? Check out Sheridan Smith ;D

[TheCherryBomber1]

@LukeCooper25 Sheridan Smith was terrible. She sounds like Porridge.

[AdamEfimoff]

@TheCherryBomber1 she was not you idiot she actually got an award

[TheCherryBomber1]

@AdamEfimoff don't be cruel, it's just my opinion. awards don't show talent, just critical acclaim. do you really talk to everyone like that? do you even have friends?

[AdamEfimoff]

@TheCherryBomber1 many do you your so stupid and arrogant and need help

[TheCherryBomber1]

@AdamEfimoff don't be so rude. hopefully you'll grow up one day.

[bnorem09]

HELLO gay piano man. I know it's probably your dream to play Elle Woods, but stop singing and just let Annaleigh do it. She doesn't sound like she needs your help!

[bnorem09]

@bnorem09 By the way, I know that he's Laurence O'Keefe, the composer of the show, but he's really drowning out this performance.

[WadeAblitt]

@bnorem09 he's doing the written backing vocals... not Elle's part...

[niemann2006]

@bnorem09 He was singing the roles of the guys in the musical. If you watch the musical, you'll see that the guys sing that part

[bnorem09]

@niemann2006 If you watch the musical, you'll see that no guys sing in this song what-so-ever. It's a complete female ensemble.

[niemann2006]

@bnorem09 No, sorry but you're wrong. Go rewatch it. Tons of guys sing in the background

[bnorem09]

@niemann2006 Nope. Watching it now. I see LBB and 9 females wearing sweatshirts spelling "ELLE WOODS". They must be men in drag.

[niemann2006]

@bnorem09 well I don't know what you're watching, but it's wrong. Both me and the guy in the video, agree that guys are singing it. Type in "So Much Better- Legally Blonde" and click the first video(that's not featured), then tell me what you see. 

[thenextnp]

I love Annaleigh, as Glinda & I could definitely see her as Elle. I don't know why they didn't give it to her after LBB left. I actually watched the show "Search For Elle Woods". I think the producers wanted to get some more publicity for the musical with the TV show, hoping it would help ticket sales. But Annaleigh deserved a chance.

[kooolkyl]

@thenextnp i think they did do that too to help ticket sales, but i think in the end thats one of the reasons why it closed

[WickedlyBlonde16]

did she honestly only go on once??? tragedy!! she's amazing!

[sassyandstylin]

I was honestly never an Annaleigh fan until I saw this video. This really showcases her phenomenal vocals and performing skills. However, nobody can be Laura Bell Bundy as Elle, in my personal opinion. I would kill to see Annaleigh live though, she's So Much Better than the majority of stage performers out there. Much respect. :)

[Kristenbasore]

Wonderful performance! :)

[CoKeOhhCoLa]

wait wasn't she like one of the main sorority girls when LBB was elle??

[KRvideos1]

@CoKeOhhCoLa yes, she was one of the sorority girls, but she was also an understudy for Elle.

[CorinaJoanBlack]

She did play Elle after LBB... at some point... idk the details. And rightfully so because she is indescribably brilliant.

[googleygoogleyface]

@CorinaJoanBlack she was the third understudy so she was only ever onstage as elle once. omg what i wouldnt give to see that preformance :)

[kd1x]

So Much Better than LBB. SO MUCH.

[GeorgeJay1]

Annaleigh is a brilliant singer should have been Elle in my opinion..that version there could have done without the man singing lol

[0broadwayismydream0]

I can't believe the pianist is Laurence O'Keefe - the composer of the score for Legally Blonde :L

[TheCherryBomber1]

Wish she'd voiced Rapunzel in Tangled, however wonderful Mandy Moore is.

[XxMizzHazelEyesxX]

Annaleigh's "Much better." is literally the most epic thing I have ever heard. It makes me want to go up to Warner and scream "OOOH WOULD YOU LIKE SOME ICE FOR THAT BURN?!?" XD

[Cald0m92]

Love Annaleigh. Wish she'd come to England one day :)

I watched this again and realised how many mistakes she actually makes haha!

[nickeymouse33]

lololove

[simplelife730]

this is amazing!!

[fleebub]

sometimes when the pianist sings.. i cringe

[ive8er]

@fleebub Just an fyi that pianist is the man who wrote the score for the show Laurence O'Keefe.

[fleebub]

@ive8er i know. however my original statement still stands haha

[ive8er]

@fleebub yeah most composers are not very good at singing their own work, that is why we don't see any Rodger and Hammerstein sings "Sout Pacific" or Stephen Sondheim sings "Company." Although i would like to hear some of that to figure out what they were thinking about the characters and stuff.

[EmeraldSky33]

Such a Glindafied, Annaleigh-ified Elle. PERFECT. <3

[kierieee]

WOW!!!...LOVE HER!

[BonanzaObsessor]

<3 this accompanist!!

[dimbgeest]

out of interest what other songs does she sing in this vid?

[girlsandglamour]

ohh annaleigh <3 such a cutie. she's my fave elle behind becky :)

[kaleelee2309]

she is so well rounded!

[jdstanning]

She's amazing.

[kimt1987]

Did she go on to play Elle? She's adorable! She messed up on the lyrics though.

[Amandabrack1]

@kimt1987 I think Annaleigh might have played Elle on broadway a few times but im not to sure i think she may have been one of the Elle understudies along with Becky gulsvig but not sure! x

[Amandabrack1]

@kimt1987 I think Annaleigh might have played Elle on broadway a few times but im not to sure. i think she may have been one of the Elle understudies along with Becky gulsvig!

[Lizco77]

shes really good, i like her voice :-) not as high pitched as the soundtrack (i dont even know who singing on there)

[yadiyadiyadaaaa]

LOL! She said "better jobs and better jobs"! But she handled it really well. The pianist reacted though.

[TheBohemianTenor]

PLEASE come to London and replace Sheridan Smith!

[Ryanlaskey]

@TheBohemianTenor i heard it Steph from hollyoaks thats replacing her. The fact her charecter is about to die from cancer and Sheridan leaving at same time...hmmm?

[ThisPerfectFinale]

@Ryanlaskey :o Omg no way !! how do you know? i love her ! she'd be a brilliant elle ! sheridan is leaving in october right?

[Ryanlaskey]

@ThisPerfectFinale My friend told me, and believe me he is the holy grail of west end gossip! what he doesnt know isnt worth knowing! I think shed make an awesome elle woods as well, she looks the part. Yeah Sheridan is leaving in october, roughly the same time as steph dies

[ThisPerfectFinale]

@Ryanlaskey Omg thats so amazing :D

i hope its true (yn)

i love your friend too :D:D

[Ryanlaskey]

@ThisPerfectFinale okay went to see legally blonde yesterday and the girl who plays Pilar said Steph is coming in to play Margot in september, theyre still trying to get a bigger name to do elle for while then Carly (as thats stephs real name) is doing the role full time, peter davidson is also staying and the rest of the main roles are being recast...when i heard all this i though of you and thought youd like to know xxx

[ThisPerfectFinale]

@Ryanlaskey Aww cool :D

thanks for letting me know :) <3

[orangepeal22]

@Ryanlaskey Where? LB isn't on broadway anymore?

[Ryanlaskey]

@orangepeal22 well luckily theres a world outside broadway. Im talking about LB in London

[TheCherryBomber1]

@Ryanlaskey I don't watch Hollyoaks, is she any good?

[Ryanlaskey]

@TheCherryBomber1 well ive never heard her sing, but she has the elle woods/margot look. shes tall, blonde and pretty so she must be good

[JCohnn8D]

She is sooooooooooooooooooooo amazing!

Where was this?

[wickedLAcastlover]

@JCohnn8D

5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle

[GeorgeJay1]

Amazing voice

[Lorzaliiez]

Laura Bell is amazing, but... I just have to say that Annaleigh is more amazing.

Love her!!

[Kelaiah01]

She is so cute and awesome. :D

[pinkp0pcorn]

HER VOICE IS LIKE AN ANGEL SENT FROM ABOVE!

[SpiceBaby47]

I love this! Annaleigh is great at singing this :)

[sroberge]

[BeautifullyTragicLFB]

Better than LBB.

Annaleigh is amazing!
