[eos008]

awesome voice and so funny that it comes out of that tiny person!

[MrsDanvers93]

This is devine!

[skitzo429]

shes a better singer now than she was then

[superduffman22]

wow

[Mavisaurora]

Kristin is such a lovely lady, what a wonderful piece being performed! simply love this!

[danefritz2006]

is that the dress she wore for her julie andrews performance??

[abelsincain]

Her pronunciation is impeccable, even this ESL speaker understood every word. The whole thing is delightful.

[TZ2OurLittleDogToo]

she is soo amazing. all that talent and beauty. wow.

[mayprettygirl]

jaja! yo quiero ser como ella, la amo! xD

[Katiedid724]

I would give anything for her voice.

[ameliabedelia81995]

The wind makes it so dramatic

[hodgsonco]

I love Kristin.

[Selftime2007]

I am in love with her!

[IHeartScrubs1995]

France????:(

[sophab0656]

love this foreverrrrrr

[cleanmyroomforme]

she does the same thing with her arms for every... D or E? whatever the high note is... its kinda cute

[biggestChenofan]

@cleanmyroomforme It's an E

[dale19532]

How many recognize this as the Dick Cavett theme song?

[mccplaymakers]

If I had a muse, I imagine she would be Kristin Chenoweth.

[mani1239]

She made the dress she's wearing here shorter for a Kennedy Center Honors for Julie Andrews. :)

It's not fair that one person has so much talent. She's amazing.

[HermesAlchemist]

I have an unnatural love for Ms. Chenoweth, which being gay would i guess be straight? Huh.

Happy Pride! Love you Kristin. Anytime anywhere.

[ixifool]

i just love how her hair is blowing in the wind.......so dramatic :)

[JunoMacguff2012]

If you never heard of the song before, at first glance of the title, at least to me, it seems like it's going to be comedic. But it's just the opposite.

[BroadwayKidNamedJosh]

@JunoMacguff2012 It is a comedic song lol...

[JunoMacguff2012]

@BroadwayKidNamedJosh Oh. lol *shrugs*

[jtg10795]

@JunoMacguff2012 how is it just the opposite?

[JunoMacguff2012]

@jtg10795 Well, I guess a lot of it was very serious and dramatic, and then some parts, mostly towards the end, were comedic. But that's just the way I saw it.

[jtg10795]

@JunoMacguff2012 i can see what you mean, her facial expressions are like that. watch her performance from when she was in candide, she does it much funnier (u can just watch any of her later performances)

[ichigo0000000000000]

@jtg10795 i think what junomagic's trying to say was, though it's a comedic song in melody, it's message is about cundegode's being miserable despite of those beautiful things around her.. it looks comedic but if you'll take a look at it in a deeper perspective cindegode (kristin) is sad.. she's just forcing her heart to glitter and to be gay..

[jtg10795]

@ichigo0000000000000 no, no i think he was just confused because this was early in her career and she wasn't sure how to really act it yet. Stop overanalyzing, it's Leonard Bernstein, he just wants to be funny, it's a straight forward comedic aria from a straight forward comedic operetta

[SirSammichbatch]

wow. such a powerful voice for such a petite person. beautiful

[dirulovely]

I like her later acting, but I like this vocal better.

[jtg10795]

@dirulovely exactly wut i was thinking

[francaiseviolon]

I have to say, this is not my favorite performance of this by Kristin. This is more "Opera" Kristin, than "Theater" Kristin. But nonetheless, a great performance. :)

(But then again, I cannot really make comments on vocalists, as I am a lowly violinist.)

[9889MissM]

She 's the best singer for this song!

[alcyonae]

@9889MissM Dawn Upshaw is 10000 times better

[longliveclassicmusic]

@9889MissM It is one of the most standard, flashy arias in coloratura soprano rep... But you are RIGHT!!! Even the greatest singers of our time don't quite live up to her standard with this. :)

[charmed1823]

I like her later performances of this song...this one is very neutral for Kristin...she gets funnier later...

[queenofthemausoleum]

i wonder what happened to her 'fraaaance'?

[eelw22]

This is relatively early in her concert career before this song became a staple of hers. It wasn't before 2005 for the live performance of Candide on stage that she used that signature Fraaaaance line.

[queenofthemausoleum]

ohhhhh okay thanks :)

[defygravitybewicked]

@eelw22 no. she did the frraaaance in 2004 when she sang it with the pops.

[ksulie]

@eelw22 thanks for explaining. i was wondering myself!

[16fonzie]

@queenofthemausoleum its not the same is it

[crazysinger111]

the signature at the end of my text on my phone is <3 Chenoweth <3

[brokenstrike]

speechless

[AGrct]

Love you Cheno

[Trsh3r]

for anyone wanting the original video (hence in better quality since it was not uploaded twice through YT filters, search for "Joshua Bell plays Bernstein" and you'll get the other song as well

[Trsh3r]

do you have the other song she did in the show? I believe it was with Josh Bell playing the violin...

[galindalaterglinda]

WOW kristin is fantastic!

[ahfclass]

A--MAZ--ING!!!
