  • That is a RAKED stage. haha I don't think I've seen one that's that steep so close to the edge of the stage.

  • The set--NICE! Go Ensemble!

  • The ensemble is AMAZING!

  • omg i love this song!!!! i had an opportunity to sing this song with my choir at our cabaret performance it is such a fun song!!!

  • She's singing it too fast o_O

  • @SidneyLikesToSing - not only that she really cant hit the high notes so she falsettos a lot, shes not the best for this role.

  • R skool did this but were in middle school

  • Are some of you honestly bashing the high notes of a high school student? You know how pathetic that is, right?

  • Very good, but it sounds like the cast recording. ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz. I agree with the people who said her falsetto on the high notes isn't so good, and the staging is boring. The person who said if you don't have a naturally high belt, it can seriously damage your voice is wrong. That's something that can be learned. I've never heard of anyone having a naturally high belt. I really don't think it exists. The only natural notes above a B flat most or all people can sing will be a falsetto.

  • great!!!

  • it was great until the bridge her falsetto sucks

  • This is fucking sensational. All you naysayers shut your mouths. The choreography is the only thing that feels even a smidge lackluster, but otherwise, the singing and the SET (I can't even explain how outstanding the set it) are both perfect. What a great piece.

  • AMAZING

  • okay, for all you critics out there who don't like the falsetto, i'm just going to say that it is really hard to belt properly if you don't have a naturally high belt (which is quite rare), and that belting improperly or when you don't have a naturally high belt can seriously damage your voice. So, I fully appreciate the Amneris' falsetto (it's really good)! And i really like this version :)

  • @fortissimo1331 its not rare to have a high belt voice. the voice is a muscle and if you put the proper training in then you can transform your voice into a high belt as i am teacher i have taught people who now have HUGE high belt voices. but i do agree with the point she is good just needs a bit more work.

  • Not to be a nay-sayer, but the choreography for this scene is a little lackluster.

  • Theater isnt ever a competition or at least shouldnt be its an art not a sport. Im just saying I know my school and its theater program and so does everyone else.

  • haha our school is doing this musical and im Amneris, so we have the cd and its these people singing so its really funny. haha

  • I doubt it Bradford is 2nd nationwide for theater and they did world premier of this show.

  • my high school is doing it. and becca lichfeild and jessica jenkins kick this ones ass. :) our school honestly had the best performance of this one. congrats to mark daniels :)

    WHS

  • haha our school is doing this right now...we are doing awesome! ACHS

  • @CursiveType I think that was the purpose in the show-_- blame on the teacher who told her to do that.

  • The Falsetto Killed it.

    Belting was fantastic.

    just.....no falsetto, Please!

  • homegirl is good, but she needs to learn how to belt and get out of her head voice at the end, sounds awful to sing a powerful song like this and sound like your whispering

  • Comment removed

  • Fantastic!!! I love it. I love this better than the original a bit...

  • no fashion show....... :(

  • My daughter's drama camp is doing this and she is "Amneris". This is a great performance.

  • Nice voice at the beginning...too much "R" in her diction, though, and her head voice isn't strong enough at all.

  • agreed. she should have just belted it the whole way through. im sure it was her music director telling her to be "healthy" though. ugh. she did great though!

  • check out my Aida videos

  • It was fantastic until she went into her high voice. Very weak, but the belting was great.

  • she is incredible

  • I'm doing this musical ;)

  • she has a great voice and the ensemble/chorus was on key!! nice.

  • In my school, Amneris has trouble pronounicing the word 'POLISH'. I don't know why. But I love our dancing better. THANK YOU MS. SUMANGA!!!!!!!!!

  • heyy so yea i was kinda sad when you stopped belting but nevertheless....can I have your voice? Like please? :D so amazing!

  • This is before they re-did Bradford's auditiorium huh?

  • ya'll did very good on this! whoever played amneris had a very good voice

  • we did this at my school, Hackensack High School, NJ!!! we did realy good, as did yall

  • I love her voice when she's not in her high voice, but she needs to work on that head voice some more.

  • great!! especially for a high school production

  • Incredible singing! Loved it! As a singer though, why didn't you belt the ending!?!? I thought that would have made this version the best I've ever seen! But still phenomenal job!!!

  • strange pronunciation on various words??

  • She's a great singer.

  • I already commented once but I need to again cuz this is just THAT good.

    ...until 2:45 or so when she stops belting. Incredible voice, but why why why didn't we put the power into it at the end? *sadface :(

  • whats the title of this musical?

  • Aida

  • i had a solo in this song :D i rock

  • wow! haha nice

  • it was pretty good =)

  • i really hate all the versions of this song even with the broadway version. i just think its awkward in this key. however, this was pretty bareable lol only i dont understand why they're in the rags they wore and the screaching was pretty..... ew. ahaha

  • The others in rags are slaves to the Pharoah's daughter. Ties into the plot of the play.

  • the coreography was bad, but the singing was pretty good.

  • haha. im Amneris in my school's play

  • my school is doing this play. I am in it!

  • amazingg!

    the set is amazing alsoo :)

  • this high was blessed with some amazing talent!!!

    :-) great job, i love all of the AIDA video's :-)

  • omg was this performed at the international thespian festival in lincoln nebraska? because if so i was there!!! soooo amazing =]

  • ya this was. this isn't THAT performance but it was in Nebraska.

  • luved it!!!

    they were amazing,

    how old were they again??

  • wow the singing is terrific and the set is absolutely amazing!

  • Flawless. 5 Stars.

    I'm stunned.

  • if the princess did not go weak hitting high notes in falsetto, i was fooled that this was a regional production tour of the musical. for a high school performance, this is highly delivered. this gotta be the best that i have seen.

  • Girls don't have falsettos.

  • ..........Is this a joke?

  • No, girls only have chest voice and head voice. Sometimes they have whistle register.

  • Girls don't have a falsetto, mulloctaveman is right.

  • Wow! The chorus actually sounded really good! Usually in high school musicals the chorus sucks. Since I'm a soprano and not a belter I got to be one of the three girls that sings the high note in this song. It was so much fun!

  • girll... why in GOD's name didnt u belt the entire thing? ugh, i hope your chorus teacher didn't tell you not to or something. this could have been FIERCE had you belted it all. now it's unfortunately just half way there :(

    great voice though :D

  • she had to save her voice. they performed this at the ITF a couple of days later where she belted it.

  • ooh kk, that makes sense. i was gonna say tho, because it didn't make sense for her to start belting it all, then randomly stop. it sounded great tho :)

  • it remindds me of wicked at least the voice the song popular

  • omy goddnes that set is amazing.

  • amneris in this one was really good until she couldnt reach the notes and got extremely soft. the choreography was a little upsetting. Ive seen about 10 different productions of this show and Capital Hiigh school in olympia did it best when they had a fashion show during the dance break coming out of her closet. It was fabulous!

  • Love it!!! Great performance!

    Keep up the good work...

    And I'm glad to hear you normally do belt. Cause hearing your voice it should be a piece of cake for you to belt the high notes.. ;-))

  • this is actually amazing.

  • the singer is okay... she cant really hit those high notes. but otherwise shes good.

  • she sounds like one of the ladies in wicked, doesn't she?

  • yea she does kinda sound like one of the ladies from wicked

  • My school is doing this in December and I'm in the in pit orchestra. I have to say, although I had my doubts about it at first, I'm falling in love with it.

  • miami childrens theater is going to do it

  • HELL YES!!!! HAHAHAHA

    we will be amazing (:

  • my school is putting this musical on in November! It's gonna be great! I just love the music for it, I'm really excited to see how it turns out!

  • My school too! We have our audition workshop tomorrow, and I'm so excited!!! It's going to turn out great!

  • Me too! My school, Glenbard West is putting this on. I can't wait to start rehearsing.

  • I can't wait for our school to put it on.

    Erica, our Amneris, is amazing.

  • im seeing it tonight at glenbard west

  • i agree tigsport85...

  • At least that's what iheard don't quote me on it, but i'm pretty sure that why disney has there name in front of it.

  • The reason it's called DISNEY'S AIDA is because when Tim rice and elton John wrote it they couldn't get someone to produce it so they went straight to disney and disney paid for it and produced it on broadway

  • I hope to get this part this fall...wish me broken legs! ;)

  • ok, break a leg! i would love to have this part too!

  • is aida supposed to be a disney movie im confused

  • i think it was going to be but disney decided to make it a stage show instead

  • oh i thought it was a disney movie because nikki blonsky sings some song of it from disney mania 6

  • Nikki Blonsky sang a song from Aida? Hey, she knows good Disney then! xD She didn't ruin it like Demi did with "That's how you know" did she?

  • Actually I don't think It was Disney, I just think It's considered disney because of Elton John and Tim Rice. My teacher told me that and she's like OBSESSED with this. She knows like everything about it.

  • This girl is really good! I was a a little let down, however, that she didn't sing the end in full voice.

  • I love this song. I dance to it in a show Im in.

  • poor verdi!!!

  • my school is doing this show next year, i really want to be amneris, this song is so cool!

  • I loved it all, except for parts in the end when it's high, she loses that belting, and it sounds weak. She has a great voice :)

  • Great show. I was Mereb when we did this in 2005 back home.

  • i have never heard of this show by disney

  • Is a terrific show with a score by Elton John

  • it's amazing.

  • I would Definitely choose this song to sing for competition if i was guaranteed to sing it this well.

  • wow

  • dam where is this girl now?????

  • One word...AMAZING!!!

  • omg thast aweosme im doin AIDA too my play is on may 22!!!

  • Awesome!! Wish I had been able to go see it. I did manage to go see RENT though and it was amazing!!!!!

  • This girl has a damn good voice. :)

  • Ya this is a good play for students Im, a music teacher and I played the lead piano for broadway last week with great sucsess. Although we tweaked the solos in the 72 measures of music this is great for you students to be inspired to act and play music. My personal favorite song is Easy as Life or Written in the stars.

  • i played obo for this in my school play it was amazing but she is rushing in some places and easy as life is the best instrumental song

  • You guys are absolutely amazing! I'm not shocked you guys got chosen to premiere this show! Wish I could've seen RENT from you guys. Great job, keep up the good work!

  • omg bradford is soo amazing at everything i cant wiat one more year and im there then im gunna hopefully be in this theater department

  • HOLY SHIT I'M IN THIS PLAY!! I PLAY RADAMES!! :]

  • is this the same high school that did RENT?

  • sure is

  • REALLY RENT was amaaazzingg!!! :D my friend and i were freaking out that it was sooo good :D n for a high school performance ^.^

  • Yea it is! i was in it...

  • That's awesome!!! who did u play?

  • i was roger

  • REALLLY!!!! you were great! :D

  • If I understand the description corectly, this is the premiere of the School Edition. Coorect me if I'm wrong. MTI (the company that licenses AIDA) does editions of some of their shows tailored for high schools, called School Editions. I guess they just cut the runway part.

  • my school did this..but we had a runway during that dancebreak

  • My school is doing the play. It is goin to be awesome. I don't sing very well but i want a part. All the girls in my class want to be amares. Any advice? Anyone?

  • this is the musical that both my sisters are in at their high school. i just came from one of the showings, and i have fortune favors the brave stuck in my head

    but it is a great play

  • thee highh school inn myy cityy performedd thiss lastt yrr .. i lovedd iht :]

  • Love the set! At my school, this was the musical last year. I absolutely love AIDA!

  • If You want to see another spectacular performance of AIDA, come to Carolina Forest High School in Myrtle Beach, SC on March 6-9, 2008.

  • i used to go to thats school my friend is in the play or the program thing im in it next year not this play but one of the plays shes a good singer and the girl playing aida is really nice

  • i love this song, im singing this in my showchoir. the solo is so cool

  • Elton John is a genius.

  • great!! this is one of my favorite songs from this play!!!! and i love aida all around!

  • She did a great job!!! I only wish she would have use her chest voice more and just belted out those high notes, rather than relying on her head voice. But for a High School production.......GREAT JOB!!! :~)

  • She probably can't hit those notes

  • Wow. And I suppose you can? She was rehearsing for Nebraska and was instructed NOT to hit those notes.

  • Um I wasn't trying to be mean...it's just what I assumed. Why does everyone on here have to have such a big attitude? Can't anyone express their opinion without getting shot down? Sheesh!

  • Im sorry I couldn't show you otherwise.

    Im also sorry that the performance in Nebraska was not recorded, because most if not all of that show was belted.

    Thank you for your comment, just rethink your wording next time. Apparently my friends are more protective of my voice than I am.

    Enjoy your opinion. :)

  • I wonder how heavy the big things in the back with the hieroglyphics (you obviously can't seem them here-but in the DVD of the show they're there) weighed.

    I know people pushed them around during the show so they couldn't have been THAT heavy..could they?

  • that is not megan warner millitarybrat4lif8905 lol...she wasnt in this show

  • im auditioning 4 this show next week at a theatre place in my town

  • wooo i got a part im a nubian

  • my school's doing it too!

    I GOT ZOSER! (yess)

    hehe im a guy, but this is a good song

  • I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. fantastic

  • My school is going to do AIDA, I auditioned yesterday, and I got a call back! which is weird because I have a poor voice, and I beat out some kids who are actually in chorus (my schedule is too busy for it), I hope I can get radames of mereb! I am really nervous

  • did you get it?

  • this is really good for a highschool production!!! good job :)

  • This is a very good play, my highschool did it and we had a lot more fun with this scene. we had a "fashion show" and the model were dressed in wild outfits and then amneris came out with a dress that lit up and everything. it was a blast!

  • wasnt this in kenosha? im pretty sure i saw this in person.

  • thats Megan Warner

  • lol that wasnt megan

  • erm...watch floyd central's...

    it has gay men...

  • i wish she would belt the higher notes... that's what MAKES this song

  • I agree. Sherie's belting is amazing in this song.

  • I think this is the best version of Aida! Including Broadway. Alexa is freakin' talented!

    There. I said it.

  • ????

  • Secondary Characters - Title of Show(Hannah and Veronica) {copy and past all } check em out there amazing!!!! you wont regret looking ! help me get the word out

  • kinda boring? you obviously didnt get to see this show in person. it was AMAZING.

  • She has a great voice, and it sounded wonderful, but it was kind of boring because no one was doing anything but sitting and singing.

  • she makes a good amneris....

  • your set is soooo amazing!!! and voices too! greatttt job!

  • nice song,and costums

  • What year was this done in just out of curiostiy?

  • It was done in 2005. They premiered the student edition of this show :)

    I know this cause my friend goes there. So yeah

  • I have ONE word for Alexa: DAMN!!

  • she was really good. i just wish her voice wasnt under stress because i would have LOOOOVEEDD to hear her belt that shit.

  • omg...I saw this in Broadway..and whoever is singing..You should join Broadway! You are amazing!!!

  • I saw this on Broadway too with the marching band (we were doing it as a field show). It was phenomenal, and boy did I cry!
