I thought she was quite nasally at some points, perfect at others. I didn't like the interpretation of the music that much, but that last note [is it a D maybe?] was ON POINT. I can't tell ya how many people can't pull that off!!!
Why are you talking about "gay"? Who said anything about gay? She should be on Broadway and no one is talking about sexual orientation but you. Maybe you didn't read what was written correctly?
So i saw Caroline or Change at my college tonight and i saw this girl onstage and i said "Why does she look so firmiliar?! i see her bio and i was like holy shizz this is the girl i am in love with whonplayed Aida at Nipomo! and....The singoff! :o she is just amazing and was right in front of mee!!!!!!
Wow! Had I not read the author note I would never have believed this was from a high school. A lot can change in two years, and whoever you are Joanna, your voice is amazing, you should do something with it! I hope wherever you are you're making your dreams come true with that powerful voice of yous!
2 words- DAY-UM! Wow- what a voice! You were only in high school?! Sure hope you are pursuing musical theatre as a career! So glad I got to see this video!
My high school is doing this play this year. I loved how strong her voice is and I don't know any high schooler who could possibly top her performance. Bravo!!!! You are an inspiration to us all!!!
I found this by accident, looking for footage from the Broadway version. Her voice made me think this WAS from Broadway. Whoever she is, she's going places in life. Fantastic voice!
i really hope my high school does this musical this year! i love this song and whole show. you did fantastic!! you are a wonderful performer and i hope i can be as good as you!! =)
Amazing voice! But I have to agree with tiegirl... as a watched I felt no emotion... I could hear it but it almost seemed like you just mozied around on stage... vocally I could hear emotion, but couldn't see anything it looked very bland...
Joanna, your voice is absolutely incredible. There are women on Broadway who don't stand a chance against of you. After college, you really need to pursue it. You're lucky enough to have the voice, use it!
I can't believe you are in high school. If you don't chase after Broadway, it will come chasing after you. You are by far the best I have heard on you tube.
P.S. I was waiting for that last note and you nailed it. Gave me chills!
OH MY GOODNESS! tHIS GIRL IS AMAZING!@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joanna, you are by far the most amazing sinnger and youve brought up my confidence because my next play night be Aida and ur my range! you made me so excited! I'll see you on Broadway( ;
WOW! Amazing. I was looking through all of the Broadway videos and I was looking for Easy as Life. I clicked on yours and almost clicked on a new video when I saw this was a high school production, but the first comment I saw caught my attention so I watched it and I have to say that was amazing. You have an incredible voice and that gave me chills. That last note was perfect, and in addition to the vocals, the acting was great too. Facial expressions, movement. Everything. GREAT JOB!
so im in my second year at college in a music theatre program. i came looking for a good version of easy as life to practice with and this is THE BEST one that I found!! AMAZINGLY DONE. i was amazed to find that this was a highschool production! I hpe your doing something with that voice young lady!!!!!
wow. I am obsessed with this show, and this song especially. I've tried to sing it so many times and thought that I was doing alright, but you perform this song INCREDIBLY. seriously - SOOOOOOOO talented. honestly incredible.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ok... Her voice is a bit annoying, but I gotta admit, she has that "twang" in it that the song needs. She did indeed do her thing. Check out washington high school- aida. I was Aida in this production. We are singing the Gods love nubia
You know what? It's cool that you think you're better than Joanna-- You aren't, but it's still cool.. I would just recommend advertising your videos on your own, rather than going on someone else's video to sell yourself. That my friend is what is truly "annoying". A true artist does not go around with their head up their own ass--that won't take you anywhere. Good luck to you.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ok... Lets see you put some of your own work up here. But you probably dont have any because YOU are are walking around with your head stuck up Joanna's ass. I am on youtube promoting my own video of Aida. You sound a little sensitive. Lighten up. LOL
Oh I have my own work up here, "baby". I'm just not desperate enough to have to post mini advertisements on others' vids. If you want to promote yourself, get an agent-YouTube probably wont make you the next Heather Headley (hate to break it to you). The fact that you have to be so critical of her videos tells me that a) no one cares about your vids and you feel threatened by her b) you have nothing else going on in your life c) you're a hater. I think I'd prefer "sensitive" over "desperate".
You know what? you sound like the type who would take up for other people just so they would like you. I didnt say I was the next heather headley. But you obviously think I am. . U fuckin reject. And 4 the record... I'm not ur baby. Get the fuck off my clit and mind ur own business. Why the hell isnt Joanna on here arguing for herself? it's obviously because she know what she has and is content with it... Just as I am. Kiss my ass and dont message me anymore, or i'm gonna spam u!!!!!
You sound really stupid, Baby. You should just stop while you're behind. Nothing you are saying is of substance, and it is just making you look and sound like a fool. Your vids aren't that hot, sorry to break it to ya hon.
oh looks like baby's panties are up in a ruffle, maybe that's why you're so desperate..you need someone to touch your clit for you. You're disgusting and you should just learn to acknowledge that. The main problem I had with you was that you were coming onto this video and talking shit about Joanna, I know she's content with what she got because I know her personally, and she could sing circles around you. And oh no, I'm terrified by your stupid ass who cannot type correctly...... Not spam!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It is spam bitch. I never said anything about Joanna. Annoying? Thats my own personal opinion. She may can sing circles around me, but the the fuck can you do? shit, but come on youtube and fight someone else battle. Get a life dickface. Lol
I don't know why you keep typing lol you wannabe bad ass, you're the only one laughing. You obviously are too incompetent to catch on to the sarcasm, and you might want to look up the definition of spam because you obviously don't know what it is, and you sound like a bit of reading (anything) could really help you out. Good luck promoting your video, which by definition could actually be considered spam--the shit no one cares about.
I wonder y this vid has so many hits? I bet ur the only 1 who goes on here and look at this video over and over because u wanna b like her. I bet ur some gay guy who sits up and wish and dream u could b her. Put a big fat dick in ur mouth and shut the hell up talking 2 me. U know what the hell i meant when I said spam bitch.
I am not gay, and I hope you know you probably offended a lot of people by saying that, but you wouldn't care because your fat ass is just sitting around eating Cheetos waiting to respond--it really demonstrates to a lot of people that you are a worthless piece of shit with no talent. I don't want to be like Joanna, and I know she doesn't want to be like you (she'd be at risk for heart disease). Run along now,put another pop tart in your mouth, and go order some well needed voice lessons.
you should of gotten a fuckign louder clap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wth that was AMAZING!!!!!! LOOK LET ME TELL U HONESTLY U ARE THE BESSSSSST BESTTT BESTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT AIDA I HAVE SEEN YET ON YOUTUBE!!!!!!!!! u make other girls who put there shit on toutube seem like shit bro i did aida to in school didn't sing this but bro you are the best on youtube i swear like the last note was perrrfectttttttt other chicks on here need to wacth this bravo bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ChanFram what about heather headley? the original?
but considering this is high school, amaazing acting and singing. dang girl! if they bring back this show on broadway, you need to play aida. YOU ARE AMAZING! please please please go into show business.
