Prima Donna

[48sreed]

"I hate my hat!"

[CowNamedMuffin]

@48sreed I loved it when she said that. XD

[Egsggum]

Haha I love Carlotta, she's the best.

[justafidemyself]

I Miss such epic scenes in the LND soundtrack... Like "Prima Donna" & "Masquarade", like the realy big numbers.. i miss them so much

[mewmewmint99]

[8251Michael]

[DeadMametchi]

her world is so over-the-top and hilarious

it's a great comic relief

[korsakovsky]

[mjay1693]

I don't even care if he's a minor character, Piangi owns.

[ibukiki]

[Dimdream]

one of my fav scences!

[rachey139]

is that stephen fry?

[tashtanbelora]

and we need youuuuuu haha lol maniacs,

[nickelpickel456]

lol this is soo funny

[jesterevilgnomes]

I know someone like Carlotta XD

In fact, I know a few people like her-that's what I get for hanging around theatrical types really... =P

[teencomment]

The amount of attention that Carlotta thinks she's good enough to need is sickening...

[miuzefreak]

The voice of Minnie Driver s part is by MARGARET PREECE

[laurianni]

I am pretty sure Minnie Driver did her own singing...right?

[Laurelin]

Well Minnie can sing and she sings the song at the end credits but she didn't sing Carlotta since her vioce can't hit the high opera notes that Carlotta does.

[amethystdolphin]

Really!!

I thought that she did her own singing and was chose for Carlotta cause she could sing and act!!

Thanks for putting me right!!

[pinklili00]

this is a very catchy song.

strangely, i found myself humming it from the moment i woke up.

[ninmaiku]

What does she say in the beginning?

[Laurelin]

I think it's someting like "Would you not rather have your precious little ingenue?"

[ninmaiku]

Thank you! But what language?

[Laurelin]

I think I'm alittle confused. She is saying it in English but with her accent and how fast she is saying it, it has the potential to sound like another language.

[6anm]

It is english; she says would you not rather have your precious little angel?

[Tamarisk1982]

its ingenue NOT angel previous poster was right for all who dont know (gakked from wikipedia):

Ingénue (pronounced /ˈænʒənuː/) is a stock character in literature, film, and a role type in the theatre; generally a girl or a young woman who is endearingly innocent and wholesome.

[xxdivangelxx]

@ninmaiku is a mix of english and the Italian pronunciation, because carlotta is an Italian Lady

[willowsprite]

@Laurelin "Would you rather not have your precious little angel?" Read it from the scorebook when my music class had to learn the lyrics for a high school concert.

[Roccarocks]

Minnie Driver was an AMAZING Carlotta. 'Nuff said! :-)

[sngr2012]

the redhead girl's name is Prima Donna right? just makin sure.

[HazelWinter]

Nope. Her name is Carlotta

[sngr2012]

you can't lie, she's an awesome singer. but what the f is with the hair at the ending? that thing must weigh 2 tons!!! how does she hold her head up? they probably made it speacial so it's huge but still lightweight...but i still don't understand it.

[SillyMuffin21]

actually minnie driver didn't sing, she didnt have any operatic training but that song during the ending credits was sung by her

[Purdy123abc]

i will never be able to take minnie driver seriously again after that beginning speech... hehe... she is AMAZING!!

[Purdy123abc]

i will never be able to take minnie driver seriously again after that beginning speech... hehe... she is AMAZING!!

[Blumenmaedchen91]

i love the part at the end when the whole choire is singing!!! It sounds amazing!!!!!

[Peanutbutterhead]

i love this film minnie,gerard and emmy are amazing...also met simon callow yesterday in belfast...he was lovely. :)

[amazmace]

I'm with you. These performers are the best.

[paiotai]

I love her ^^

She's horrible!

[NeonEle]

I'd totally choose the dog over the necklace too X3

[bliseldaigne]

I will not get tired of watching this video even a million times. I love it very much...

[showersinger34]

i would love to sing this role! shes awesome!

[lolitax3x]

Ha ha!!! omg i loooooove her!!! she's so pretty and i alo hate how whenever she sings everyone is like doing the "ew she sucks at singing" face, because i also think she sings SO MUCH better then Emmy who sings like a mouse and doesn't even have an opera voice.

[Obistalker1]

this song is my theme somg

[galindaboi06]

I couldn't have said it better myself!

Carlotta blows Christina out of the water!! In the movie at least. : )

[smilefumble]

@lolitax3x I agree with you on that!

[skitzo429]

i love this song, its my favourite in the show. What i don't like about the way its done in the beginning of the movie where Carlotta starts singing think of me and theyre all like cringing and stuff, because the soprano that voiced over Minnie Driver is amazing. Her voice is SOO much better than Emmy Rossum, her voice is weak and light, and more of the high stuff is weak, and actually not very well in tune (its usually flat), its definitely not fittign of opera

[aquietwill]

Nah I prefer Emmy, her voice is amazing

x x x

[aquietwill]

oh and at least Emmy actually sings for herself.

[skitzo429]

thats not the point, its a movie about opera, if they were that interested in her doing her own vocals, they shouldnt have cast her.

[Donseilas]

let sings PRIMA DONNA----YOUR DEVOTEES ON THEIR KNEES!!

[Bookworm147]

amazing i loved it

[Kismetico]

Margaret Preece supplied the fine operatic voice for Minnie Driver's character, Carlotta.

Minnie's voice ,however, is featured in the song that runs during the credits,(Yet ISN'T attributed to her - or did I miss something?)All a bit odd.

[saker113]

I wonder how they got that wig to stay there for so long. But still awsome song.

*mass breath* once more!!!

[michellely95]

HUH

[reaperette]

ah...the spoiled prima donna. gotta love this scene.

[soby207]

Whos Margit Preece?

[fmaizkewl]

lmao! group breath

[mononoke144]

sing prima donna *HUGE BREATH* Once MORE!

"D

[kimikei]

omg lol i went to look up the lyrics to this song and as they are pumping her up madam giry is singing threats in the background. LOL (i don't hear it on here tho so i guess it must be the broadway version)

[kimikei]

this is one of my fav scenes in this movie! it's so hilarious. i love the two manager guys. it's prob my 3rd fav song next to point of no return and the song when raoul goes in for the rescue.

[ChristianPug]

The singing voice of Carlotta is Margaret Preece who played the role in London for a few years.

[InfamousKenya]

agreed!

Margaret Preece as an absolutely BEAUTIFUL voice

[shianna4118]

LOL! That 1 guy who drinks out of the shoe, gotta get his autograph!!!!

[Kelnosha]

Whoever does the singing voice of Carlotta does an amazing job!

[crunkween]

THATs WHAT A DiVA L00Ks LiK3 BACK iNNA 1800's. L0L! THATs W3ST UP. DAMN!! OP3RA iS T0 HiGH PiTCH F0R M3 BUT THiS S0NG iS THA BUSiN3SS!! L0L! C00L C00L! :D

[crunkween]

THATs WHAT A DiVA L00Ks LiK3 BACK iNNA 1800's. L0L! THATs W3ST UP.

[krazyrabiedsquirrel]

i did not no tht carlotta was played by minnie driver she plays on the riches

[j0zypheen]

Love this part of the movie! It adds comic relief :D I like how Andre and Firmin are tightening her corset, and her voice goes up...

[POTOfan777]

Tey're that desprate to have that opera!

[tightlevis4me]

I think if Minnie played Christine, she would have lipsank through the movie! Minnie is great, please don't get me wrong, but Christine is a very high soprano! Minnie did however sing the song at the end of the movie for the credits. I can't wait to see Minnie recieve a fantastic role that would really bring out her quality of being an actress!

[Samara1306]

I LOVE YOU!!!

I've looked everywhere for tihs! thankyouthankyouthankyou!! <3!

[DaveJ721]

I wish Minnie had been cast as Christine. :)

She was great as Carlotta though.

[reaperette]

i love this song. it's rather funny, the scene, i mean

[MadyGirl1987]

I see... That makes sense!

[MadyGirl1987]

Why did she not do any singing in the movie?

[Laurelin]

Do you mean Minnie? She didn't sing cause she doesn't have the voice for it. She can sing just not opera.

[KSab02]

this is my second favorite part of the movie(gotta love all i ask of you). minnie driver, who plays carlotta, is such a great actress. i love her.
