[FleetStreetNightmare]

I dont understand why people get so caught up in what the Lovett or Sweeneys look like. On most stage production vids I see a couple people always have problems with costuming of the characters, it just... idk its kinda annoying but whatever

I love the way this Lovett performed the song. She had great timing especially with hitting the rolling pin on the table etc. and very nice performance! I enjoyed this a lot xD

[xxkewldudexx]

Awesome, but I have one gripe: why'd you rip off HBC's look when you could have done something more original?

[allidiva]

@xxkewldudexx Thanks for your comment. To answer your question, I didn't rip off HBC. This production was done quite a while before the movie came out. Somehow, I don't think she ripped off my look, though. LOL

[xxkewldudexx]

@allidiva

Ah, now I see the UL date. Sorry. And it could've been worse, you could've been a Lansbury clone. That would've been a true and inexcusable ripoff!

[thesoupnazi101]

Not bad, mrs Lovett.

[littlemonkey240]

the guy looks like Abe Lincoln lol

[FleetStreetNightmare]

I wish the sound quality on the video was better but I guess you cant do anything about it. I liked your performance, good energy and good voice. You, in my opinion, fit the role very well both in appearance and performance. I love your costume too

[JBFave]

The instruments DO sound a tad distorted, but great singer!

[AridiaMoonWolf]

i absolutely adored this video! you are a fantastic actress and the voice to match!! ^_^ you'll go far, my friend. i'll be looking for you future performances as i'd like to see your act... without the bad vid quality teehee ^_^ keep it up!

[joineetully]

It seems a little fast but obviously the singer has to keep pace with the band otherwise everything falls apart. Brilliant voice though. :)

[ShansterBrown]

what a good voice

[imsweeneytodd]

pretty good performance. i like her dress

[ladykissthevelvet21]

That was good. I liked it.

[ChibiAlly]

She's a very good singer, but it sounded slightly like she was rushing through the song. Perhaps she was nervous...

I tend to rush my speaking when I have to give speaches in class and I get nervous.

Though VERY good singing. :D

[meganXamyXtinaX4ever]

me too :/ but the song itself is fast so...

[evagu123]

really good at singing!

[DigitalWing]

Very nice! The loud singing reminds me of Angela Lansbury~!

[TaoJenChan]

She seemed like she was trying to yell more than sing. I mean, I know all about having to project, but that was just ridiculous.

:\

[SeeSp0tRun]

You try to sing with 400 pounds of fat crushing your internal organs!

[TheBohemianTenor]

@SeeSp0tRun tell that to Pavarotti!

[lonelyoptimist99]

if she didnt sing loud, the piano would have droned her out entirely. I think it may just be the sound quality on the video camera. (its not the best)

[speedingclock]

good singer, but not the best actor..

but its good none the less :)

[billlover93]

Our community theater is producing this play and i'm trying out for the role of ms. lovett

[Ampersandra]

Break a leg, billlover93!

:)

[GameDude2008]

wow...Mrs. Lovett is really fat

[larrynod]

She is really very good! But the sound quality of the video is really very bad :-(

[imagina20748]

I love the dress and good performances just the sound on the video is bad

[cookieleh]

it feels a bit rushed at some parts...

[ZannyRamone]

Good performance, bad quality. =(

[Chilesk8ter]

i think its not a s good as the original

[GothicPiano]

Nothing better than the original....Y_Y

[Aimee2finnerty]

she is singing it toooo fastt

:S

x

[ZannyRamone]

It's a fast song.

[sarahbrewer32]

sound sucks.

so does the piona. :[

[Ita88]

doesn't anyone have the actual video clips?

All I see are interperatations and the soundtracks with just one dumb image to go with the whole song.. D:

This is good, but I just want the real thing.

[masterly57]

omfg mrs. lovett just got fatter or is it just me????!!!

[shortbreadfinger]

mad rdue for no reaosn

[surfsupcuzz]

lol. I know right!

[ummff]

Last time i checked sweeney todd was set in london, not america..  Wheres the american accents come from?

[MadameGiryfan]

these people are probably from America.

My guess is that this is a talent show or sumthing...

My opinion is that it sounds better with the british accent.

It sounds original that way.

All my love,

Jay S.

x x x

[dementist58888]

You've got a really great voice, and I think you make a great Mrs. Lovett from what I can see/hear here. :)

Just wish the quality was a little better!

[Brittany0414]

That was an amazing job!!! Everything she did was perfect.

[BrothuhV84]

Agree'd I kind of liked it even with the american accent.

[klstrong2011]

It's difficult to judge, because the quality of the video is very poor...

[VulnerableSatellite]

THAT WAS AMAZING!! The singing, that is~ So beautiful~~~ ;_; *LOVE*

[Meeker128]

Very nice, wish the video and sound were better.

[anaviMint]

this... makes sweeney todd (the movie)

look bad......

[sazzleeya]

not as good as helena bonham carters im a totally big fan of hers the piano ruins it

[Lexerrz]

why did they try to accompany that with a piano? a full band to a piano doesn't work!!!

[slammarbyhammer]

true

[helenarose2222]

You are absolutely fantastic! Thhis is so good!

[sarraninna]

Poor piano.

[5thAvenueHeartache]

Get your lyrics right.

The sound is awful, and what was this for?

[Tapepsi]

...and that ladies and gentlemen is how you break a piano.

[calcrules]

I like it, but the music is WAY too LOUD!

[emomandapanda]

JESUS CHRIST THE PIANO IS TERRIBLE.

Just thought I'd go ahead and be the hundredth person to say so.

[geebees9]

HORRIBLE

[AkariLee]

whoever is playing the Piano is bad -_-

[AlfSpungie]

She sings fantastic, but the music in the background is awful xD

[Staria6x111]

What a great voice! I absolutely love it. And the costume is so pretty, aswell as the makeup... this girl looks great on stage!

Congrats! =D

[InsomniaCafe]

I like Alli's voice. I want to see her on Broadway as Mrs. Lovett. However, the sound quality is horrible.

[Speilbilde]

Awesome singing, although I don't really like the fact that tempo's higher than in the other versions I've seen.

[steve754]

she is to fast

[InLoveWithJohnnyDepp]

beautiful

[pulsegroove]

This one you are least were acting a bit compared to your other videos. Just proves what i said about your other ones, its more interesting when you act. I however didnt like this song. Which isn't your fault. Your voice was lovely again, just a horrible song in my opinion. It appears to me that the theatre group you're with doesn't put on huge shows? eg no sets etc?? For the "concert" like show, i guess this was ok but if it was a full scale show, it was very Amaetur!

[HeavenHelpUs12]

I dont like it. I prefer Helena Bonham Carter.

[badnewsbarista]

i think she's good!

[Necromortis61]

Hmmm, terrible, truely terrible

[Necromortis61]

Hmmm, terrible, truely terrible

[lilpiggy99]

why do all of the sweeney's look normal ? they should look demented !

[MushroomLake]

Shes pretty good, the best one ive seen on stage. But the backing music is pretty bad x

[Necromortis61]

What?! Have you SEEN Angela Lansbury?

[MushroomLake]

Yeah i have seen her and personally i didnt like her voice as much. Its just my personal opinion. x

[MushroomLake]

Actually. Ive just listened to it again and its awful. On my other computer it sounded ok! I like helena bonham carters version best though. x

[456Josh]

Patti Lupone i think does better then this girl.

[Selendomono]

To comment on all those people whining about your weight, i think your great and besides for the lousy backround musicians, this was a phenomenal example of amateur theater, keep it up!

[5934931]

everything is soooo rushed!!!

[Selendomono]

I agree the soing seems so rushed. the backround instrumentalists could haver done a better job, but in their defense sondhiem songs are just as difficult to play as to sing.

[DenzelLockheart]

Her voice was good, but the background music SUCKED!!!!!! It was too off track and they weren't giving Lovett enough time to sing!

[PeaceLoveAndPirates]

Holy Cow..The backround music was horrible! No offense but.. sounds like It needed Practice

.. and more practice.. and.. MORE.

[2Spartan3]

Mm, she did alrighty.

I liked Sweeney's pie tasting reaction :P

[Selendomono]

very good for a on proffesional. Sondhiems songs are very diffcult to sing too.

[SweeneyTodd1842]

This was really good! Keep going with it! :)

[mazwas]

this is really good :))

[sosogood]

You make an excellent Mrs. Lovett, Alli.

[sweethen]

hee hee I love how Mrs. Lovett has to be part of the beat in this song

[oonree]

OMG!!!

Love her!

I just do! Love the facial expressions and the voice. Nothings wrong dear, you're fine.

:]

[TiTiKoge]

jeez... how can you even see her expressions with this quality?

[prettylittlesunflowe]

I can see them quite clearly.

[miep8675]

I have a question, did you put on white makeup for the role or is it the camera?

[allidiva]

No white makeup; the recording is just not very good. Not to mention that I am very fair skinned...almost see-thru! hehehe :o)

[Chrisacting]

Sorry but I think that you could of done better not saying that you did not do a good job but when the song started it sounded like you were rushing also in the song you could of put some more of feeling in it cuzs to me it sounded like you were singing a song not SINGING a song if you get what I mean but other then that it was great keep up all the good work

[a440nick]

GET A LIFE! I'd like to see you try and sing this! You go, Alli.

[mageord33]

Thats the way it is in the movie :-)) I think you rocked x

[MusicMania67]

I think she has a great voice, and if you wanna say something rude about her, maybe your should try singing a musical first. Great voice, but the background music drowns out your voice (you vocie is good, but on my pc the sound is kinda destorted)

[Safuza]

he/she wasn't saying anything rude, just giving contructive critisism. People do it all the time.

[Broadwaystar2be5]

amazing voice...and to anyone who has to remark about weight...i would like to see you have the confidence to do what this woman is doing! :] Great Job!

[julimacrackerz]

You did a wonderful job,

Honestly, I just wish the video was a little bit better quality so you can hear it better.

[xlawa]

Would all of you judgemental fucks stop saying stuff about her weight? Jesus.

I actually thought she was outstanding. She really really did this song well.

[allidiva]

Thank you, everyone, commenting on my video. And a big thanks to those who have defended me against the negative remarks. Fear not, I have had my share of criticism and I always try to use it to improve my performance.

I am actually surprised that people have not commented about my size before now, but I always knew that eventually someone would. While I appreciate that everyone has their own perspective of what is beautiful and what looks right on stage, I can only be me.

[allidiva]

Continued:

I know that I will never be convincing as the ingénue that gets swept away by the handsome lead every night, but I think that I bring a great deal to every character in performance I do, and as of yet, I have never felt that the audience didn't believe me.

Of course, there are those people who comment on videos just to be mean. And frankly, I pay no attention to people who don't have anything better to do.

Happy New Year!

Alli

[itsmichaelyo]

i think u did a great job...and your partner did a really good job, BUT even though people laughed, i think u coulda made it even funnier if you studied some other mrs. lovett's and not "stolen" but get some ideas off of them like patti lupone

it was still very funny and very well played

good job

[elphiegreen]

enough about her weight!!! she was a big girl in the OBC! let it go! her voice is amazing so shut up and watch the frickin video!

[PoisonGirl069]

pretty good voice....HORRIBLE lightig...STOP MAKING FUN OF HER SIZE YOU PRICKS!

[ttaber]

directoboy12 --> LMAO!!!.... Yeah... You're going to hell for that one...

I not a big fan of this particular version. She rushes all the up-tempo parts. She's got a voice on her though... I'll give her that... I wouldn't mind hearing a few other the other tracks at a higher audio quality...

[directoboy12]

I'm going to hell for asking this question but...Did Sweeney have trouble throwing HER into the oven?

[HoDLizy]

major trouble. -_-'

[bracelandl91]

I think she has been eating too many of her pies.

[MayorOfCandyLand]

bracelandl91: i think you've been spouting shit from that big-ass hole in your face and you should maybe stop before someone gets sick of your crappy,rude humor and shoots you.

[Fairy206]

Yeah, I agree with MayorOfCandyLand. Totally uncalled for.

[wowyourgaiy]

The pit is horrible. Just completely annoying and takes away from the girls performance... I really feel bad for, because of what I can hear, she sounds good.

[xxsugarislovexx]

her voice is good.

[Selesen]

Her voice isn't bad, but the quality of the sound and video makes it near impossible to watch... hurts my eyes. x.X

[kakashi1336]

nice voice. bad recording

[Fiyero918]

I thought it was good. Half of these people don't know theatre.

Obviously there are places you could improve. But that doesn't make you terrible. I really enjoyed it :)

[Dvanme00]

Costuming and makeup are terrible. Two colors...black and white...ugh

[HaleyBaily]

you guys are harsh. She has a nice voice.

[cjsalvani]

I'm sorry, but they are true. She is terrible.

[unkordinated]

well i come from a theatre background as im sure everyone else here does too..and really i thought you were pretty good. I especially liked where you offered the drink and then kept it for yourself. good job =)

[punkgirlphoto]

wow a differnet prespictive of how Ms.Lovett looks like.

[smeggers0329]

Terrible

[kenny6446]

i think women seem to make two choices in the song.

they either sing it, or act it.

Acting this song better fits it, like NOT singing every note, and CONNECTING with the TEXT!!!!!

[RileyVestal]

hmmmm...... A Terrible Bore! It seems like straight singing- there's barely any acting in it at all. No personality. It's not the recording system. It's not the keyboard being too loud. It's the acting being far too weak. You have a pretty voice though. You should do more with it acting-wise.

[MilkmanConspiracy]

You sing alright, but your performance could use more personality. There's little to distinguish you as an individual actor in this. There's my two cents. Was that constructive?

[bbandy2000]

Naff

[zoodie85]

Yeah, that's not rude at all... How about constructive criticism?

[tonyguy2]

I think she is just terrible! Has no business being on stage, not professional in the least. She couldn't shine LuPone or Lansbury's shoes.

[BelleMusique]

I agree- truly lovely. I wish the keyboard wasn't so loud so that I could hear you better! Part of that is probably the recording device. It's hard to record things and do them justice.

[woahfred]

You were SO amazing in this show. Probably your best work to date. If only we could hear you a little better--the keyboardist tends to play everything too heavy. As Mrs. Lovett says...well, pity!
