  • Shes not a good tracie

  • @HoldenCarrell it's funny how you say she's not a good Tracy, yet she's the original on broadway. So if you're comparing her to the OBC soundtrack, news flash....it's her.

  • Haahahahahahahahaahahhaha wow

  • I Sang this for my comp and got 1st. well one thing i wasnt a squeky voice of was normal. Yeah and great. 'Ill post it. she sounds austrailia

  • okay, so marissa jaret winokur: you are an inspiration. you make a statment that bigger girls can achieve their dreams of making their appearance on broadway(:

  • marissa, YOU ROCK i really wish everyone would stop saying 'her voice is annoying'! two things- 1. its not!!!!!!! and 2. why dont you go up on a broadway stage and sing the signature song 8 times a week! marissa is a WONDERFUL tracy, and actress!

  • She supposed to be squeaky,Its because of her physical build.

  • love this version with Marissa, because her Tracy it's really funny and spontaneous.

    I saw many Tracys of many countries, and none can be as good as Marissa.

  • The constipated chipmunk sound doesn't work. She tries too hard to be endearing, but it comes across as annoying.

  • never heard anything more annoying.....

  • ur not allowed to film it!!!

  • every time she says "oh oh oh", she sounds like she's constapated

  • it's funny

  • she fukin scares me...

  • I really dont like this version! she doesnt play the character anything like in the movies or on broadway

  • @RACHELSARAHFLYNN

    this is the original tracy, my marissa janet winoker who won a tony for the role

  • @RACHELSARAHFLYNN ummm this IS the original Broadway, and the movie girl is great, but modern.. this is how someone from 1962 would really sing/dance/act

  • @RACHELSARAHFLYNN That doesn't make any sense. She was opened the Broadway show...

  • @hairspraydude1 was who* (Seven months later, I'm correcting myself. Ha!)

  • sorry but the brazilian version beats this one!

  • hey everyone! i sing! i've got millie and wicked! check my webpage!!!

  • gooood!!!! yes i love it

  • love that Tracy is the appropriate size here. I mean I know its the OBC, but lately the Tracys have been smaller and smaller. And....uhmm....its a big deal that she's supposed to be larger.

  • Guys...she's being squeaky on purpose. That's how the character is played. Calm down it good.

  • @Bigpapiz but y would you try to do that

  • i went to hairspray in holland, where I live. and there was this musical much better, I can tell you. the singers were great, and link was a HOT GUY!!!!! this is really not as good as in holland!

    the tracy here, has a voice of a 4 age girl!!!

  • This in fact was the Broardway production of Hairspray.A Class A production!This is hows its meant to be done!

  • Her voice is supposed to be squeaky and young like this.This is the OBC, so ya it is right.

  • @emmahog1 Well, actually, in the Original Broadway Cast, Tracy is supposed to sound this way. The newer Tracys on Broadway have wonderful singing voices and great acting skills, but they just don't have that same 'Tracy' flair. The original Tracy came back to Broadway in '07. But I wish Nikki Blonsky could've been on Broadway. She would make a great Tracy, don't you think?

  • im not to keen on her voice its a bit squeeky and annoyin wen she says oh oh oh oh

  • exactly she needs singing lessons and she aint better at acting either

  • it's definitely her live, it's just a lag because of youtube

  • It' doesn't look like it though lol but if you say so.

  • I love Hairspray and I have to say this is one of the few shows to have such solid open and closing numbers. 'Good Morning, Baltimore' and 'You Can't Stop the Beat' are amazing and just proves the genious of Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.

  • she sounds like a chipmunk.... but it suits the character xxx good good

  • i think she is a really goos singer but not at the oh-oh-oh parts other than that she is great and very unique i love it.

  • People who say this girl sucks at singing were spoiled by the little doe-eyed pathetically sweet and goody goody NIKKI BLONSKI, which is NOT the real Tracy.

  • Not only that but all of the computer work that they had to do to Nikki Blonski to make her sound perfect. I love live Broadway and HATE musicals movies for that very reason!

  • i saw this yesterday it was amazing apart from her voice !!!!! i hate her voice

  • shes very good when she doesnt do her "tracy Voice".

  • oh oh oh she sucks at singing

  • her oh oh oh is lame

  • She stinks!

  • who are you comparing her too

  • a good singer!

  • I saw this on Broadway, it was amazing! there is nothing like seeing it in person!

  • I love her, her voice isn't like patty lupone's but it isn't supposed to be, its unique and fits the character

    Angela Lansbury has a unique voice as well, and she is one of broadway's biggest stars.

    I love this Tracy, and I think her voice is unique and special and perfect for the part!

  • She's inspirational. I think shes a wonderful Tracy. The BEST ever. She got the part because they saw something real great in her.

  • Great song , the chorus sound like PARTY GAMES which was recorded by the Jags in 1980

  • hahaha i laugh at her oh oh ohs

  • can you get the whole show on DVD please?

  • IMHO:

    Leanne Jones was way better... : /

  • I was there!!!

  • ..her "oh oh oh" sounded weird!

  • you are

    so right

  • leanne jones and micheal ball are the best and play the roles amazingly x would love to see broadway version sometime x

  • omfg that sucked

  • ok lol i rather listen to nikki instead of her bc the way she says "oh oh oh" is weird O_o (Wow i wonder if people will rate this down.)

  • totally agree with you. im seeing it on 5th feb eve show.. I want it to be the other girl.. not this one. The other one seems so more natural in the role!

  • marissa is like 50 times better than nikki, marissa brings the character a warm and tracy feeling to it, thts what made marissa win that tony, and uh uh uh is written in the original script, they just changed it for the movie, the way marissa does it is in the script, and it hasn't changed on broadway!

  • I agree with you. I prefer to listen to Nikki. The whole song felt off and I found myself thinking I'd rather listen to the movie soundtrack.

    I feel the same way about RENT, however.

  • hell no

  • I saw this in NY. It was awesome. I have a friend that looks exactly like Tracey.

  • thats illigal!!!you could get really told of for that!!!!!

  • well so r u, but we leave your ass alone

  • u should see her now, she really slimmed down

  • My god at 1:31 shes miraculously dressed.

  • She sounds so silly

    Yeah she does sound like a baby!

    lol

    I dont know why people like her :s  :s

  • she looks a lot like ricki lake

  • Ricki Lake played the orginal Tracy Turnblad in the movie that was made in the 80s.

  • when says "oh oh oh "

    she sounded abit like a baby ....at first

  • She does.

    lol

  • This is totally illegal.

    I tried to get a picture with my friend in a Broadway theatre and they took my camera!

  • Yeah, the house users can get bitchy about pictures! They can take your camera or delete a picture if on digital.

  • your right

  • how long did marissa play tracy?

  • for like a year or two i think...I know shannon took over in late 2003!

  • marissa is the ORIGINAL <3<3 I love the rat part b'way magic

  • i agree compleatly- but hey we have to give them props for singing strapped to a wall lol

  • i love marissa as a person and an actress...but to be honest i find her voice kinda nasally. I never really liked the way she sang "oh...oh...oh..." either...but she IS the original...so you can't ever take that away from her =P

  • marissa has a powehouse voice for sure, but leanne gives more feeling

  • its kinda shakey and it loooks like shes lip syncing

  • I don't either. Her voice is not as powerful as the last Tracy. I saw Shannon Durig a couple of times...she was REALLY good. I HATE this Marissa's facial expressions....But she is WAY better than former U/S Michelle Dowdy...

  • WHOA!!!! Michelle Dowdy graduated from my high school's program. To get into that program, you needed to be REALLY REALLY good. You saying Michelle's bad?

  • Sorry, I am saying that Michelle Dowdy did not measure up to the likes of the original (Marissa) or the last (Shannon) Tracy. It takes a lot to perform on Broadway, and I give them all props, but Michelle did not do the best in this role. only an opinion!

  • My apologies. I have only seen the touring company, so I havent seen Michelle or the others perform. Michelle occasionaly comes down to florida to see us and she sang this song. I thought she was ok. I understand it's only an opinion. I hope to get up there soon and see them.

  • marissa really made the character her own. I love how everyone who has played tracy brings something unique to the table

  • this is not copyright against Hairspray London as Hairspray on Broadway occurred first

  • its still copyright! and this isnt spam so i dont know why u marked HarisprayLondons comment as!

  • oh im sorry, i didn't mean to come off as mean, i thought that hairspray london was talking about this being copyright of hairspray london and i was lke no this broadway but now i realize that this copyright against broadway

  • i think marissa is amazing. i also think nikki did a great job and i would love to see nikki do it on broadway.

  • yes!!!!!

    it would be great 'cause she's a really good actress an her voice is so beautiful...in summary you have reason

  • omg yeah and they should televise it!!!!!

  • i luv Hairspray!!!!!!!!!

  • Next near Marrisa is getting her own talk show!!!

  • That rocks!!!!!!!!!!!

  • seriously? she's awesome!

  • Yes it was in my local newspaper about a week ago

  • cool!

  • haha i was like "wtf is OBC?"

    Then I hear Tracy's voice, and i'm like "holy shit! original broadway cast!"

    lmao, love this girl!

  • I wold have loved to see her perform as Tracy!I love her!!!!

  • Brilliant!

  • coolo

  • BBCInternational. You might want to do your homework on broadway musicals. If you were actually interested in musical theatre, you would know that it originated in the states, with Marissa originating the role. Your girl playing Tracy is one of many girls to play her. Learn your stuff before you critize the girl who made it possible for London to have hairspray. Without Marissa and her tony win, your tracy wouldn't have made it in that role.

  • Marissa played Tracy before Leanne did, so how can Marissa be pretending to be her?

  • the original broadway version of hairspray came out in the early 2000's, and the london cast version of the musical came out months ago, so how is marissa jaret winkour imitating leanne jones? infact i think that leanne is imitating marissa! and its not imitating, shes just playing the roll of tracy turnbald!

  • so is your girlfriend...no girlfriend? oh well youre boyfriend is secretly gay!

  • isn't she supposed to be be, shut the fuck up

  • who gives a fuck its good!

  • and you're point is

  • If u look the girls are really the Corny Council girls just wearing coats and holding purses cool eh?

  • she is not miming.. just the video is out of time

  • i think the video is just out of sync

  • Umm...It's called the video and audio being out of sync. Duh.

  • omg grow up...the video is out of sync. i think she would do a lot better with lip syncing don't you think...when shes like behind. you all act like little kids.

  • i like blonskys voice a bit more! but the staging ist fine done!dose it still run on west end?would be great if ia could see it on my london trip this summer!

  • AMAZING THANK YOU- so much better then the trash people call the re-made movie

  • i saw the exact SAME thing!

  • the london cast is sooooo much better!!

  • I love the OBC, cuz there's nothing like them. this cast had shoshana bean, jenn gambatese, and laura bell bundy. you can see jenn and shoshana dancing in back of tracy in the ensemble lol.

  • i love the show but the UK version is much better her voice is just ear rining it is awful plus the person filming this needs to work on the talking before hand and the burlyness

  • SHOSHANA BEAN! hahahaha i love the obc!

  • lipsyncing?

  • Her expressions are adorable, but her voice is annoying.

  • I saw the on tour Hairspray and OMG it was amazing just like the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • There is a version of this song in which in stead of saying 'something inside of me makes me move when I hear that groove', the singer says another thing. It's right after the 'give me a chance' part. Does anyone know which version I'm talking about?? =(

  • It could be the demo version of this song by Annie Golden?

  • how did they present the "rats"? (on my feet)

  • this is the real cast thats marissa jaret winokur as tracy!

  • i love her "O's" there the best

  • Actually that is how the Oh's are supposed to sound. The movie just made it more realistic. But anyway I doubt that this the OBC because this is bit dry. OBC= Original Broadway Cast and this looks amerature

  • God, this IS the OBC!

  • It's ok, but her oh-oh-oh's sounds a like scary o.O... like she has a hiccup (is dat the correct word? my english is terrible ^^")

  • i didn't like this!! I donno, just o-no-no!!

  • nikki is sooo much better!

    the o's sound weird!

  • Maybe they were just intentional.

  • the o-o-o's sounded like she was constipated

  • I like Nikki's version better. But it must be harder and more pressure to sing live.

  • dude she sucks

  • Look at movie Penny compared to musical Penny, they aren't the same..

  • I think Zac Efron looks like a bullfrog.

  • i think you look like a bullfrog

  • That's lovely considering you've never seen me.

  • ya i know but your just jealous that hes hot and your not

  • My dear, unlike you I am not a tranny therefore am not jealous of "hot" boys.

  • P.S. High School Musical should not even be considered a musical, it is the work of a devil and Zac Efron is gay, so all you girls can stop having an orgasm every time you see a picture of him!

  • My thoughts exactly. Props to you :)

  • woohoo! sing it child :-)

  • AMEN!

  • she says oh oh oh reli weirdly

    nikki is the best lolz :P

  • because thats how its supposed to sound but nikki just made it different. It's more tracy related if she says like uh uh uh. it was in the original script. Who cares about the oh oh oh. 1 mistake and everyones off on the musical.

  • nikki is not better!

  • Singing and talking in that high voice for so long damaged Marissa's voice, because if you hear her now, she sounds like that.

  • Nikki is so much better but i still love Marissa bcuz without her i wouldnt have known about Nikki

  • personally, i think it takes a lot more nerve to do broadway then a movie, but i like nikki's version of this song better. this is my favorite songg from hairspray

  • wow i just noticed the dynamites poster

  • This is the version i saw. But Tracy was diffrent, because she had a death in the family or something.

  • i saw this play in prsn,n her voice sounds so different live,shes amazing..

  • Where's Shoshana in this video?

    sry can't find her...

  • when there are girls around her at 2:59, shes the one in the yellow to the left of her.

  • sounds texas, and ohohoh's were too sticcato and short

  • i agree, sounded ike she was being chocked when she sang oh oh oh...

  • thts how its supposed to sound in the Broadway version durrrr

  • umm they do it so the opening number would be funnier. besides i think its funny and original!!!!

  • ya, but they don't achieve the effect. she sounds like they shouldn't have picked her when she sings her "oh's" like that.
