Nice. I thought I'd clicked on a professional production and didn't even notice till I stopped to watch the video and read the description that it was high school. You guys did such a great job!
LEa Salonga was Kim, Lea Salonga was Eponine, Lea Michele was Eponine, Lea Michele was Wendla, Elizabeth Judd is Wendla, Elizabeth Judd was Kim, Lea Salonga was Kim.
@ianjozeljerez This isn't a Lea Salonga vid. We all know she is the best Kim here, no comparison, so stop being an insecure twat trying to prove a point we already know and enjoy the vid. This girl did a good job.
@diabolicsmily i agree with you.. shame on this Ian whatever. This gal have some talent.. not just some talent but an extraordinary talent. keep it up!
@diabolicsmily I totally agree with you, as a Filipino myself i am embarrassed to acknowledge how some Filipinos behaved. Shame on this Ian whoever he is.. this girl have some talent and not just some talent but extraordinary talent. keep it up girl!
Man i wish people would chill on the negative comments about this. This is a pretty damn good production for a High School. Way better then I have ever seen done by a HS.
oh my god!!its very hard to get the tone of this song but i tried very hard because its our assignment for audio communication...huhuh...i have a hard time memorizing it...but all the sweat i invest is all worth it...ive got a high grade..lol...:)
Frighteningly astounding. Voice, body language, emotions, all pitch-perfect. She deserves an orchestra that would do her justice, and perhaps that's what she has now in Spring Awakening.
@sdrhead It really is so amazing. that was the best Song of purple summer I ever heard. Thats so weird we both were there. I was in ORCH A!! I wanna see it again so bad
@jdets I definitely plan on seeing it again! I'm going to Chicago in May when it stops there! Both times I saw it it was absolutely breath-taking! And I could not stop crying during "Purple Summer" I was so moved by the song as well as the whole show! I talked to Elizabeth both times afterwards and she really is very sweet and incredibly gifted. Im so glad she remembered me last night! She really knows how to make a guy fall in love with her! Beautiful girl! Just beautiful!
Damn! This girls in high school? I'd like to see what she could do as a professional... she just needs to stop smothering the kid. It was amazing though.
@XOOOOElizabethOOOOX Oh come on, think positive, The six people who voted thumbs down had shakey hands after such an emotional performance and accidentaly clicked the wrong button.
@sardoniclysane the schools in the states i think... does a stage courses towards students who is thinking to be on stage/singing/acting career. BRILLIANT IDEA for highschool students to experience.
Excellent vocals for a high school production! This girl is ready for broadway! Following in Lea Salonga's footsteps for sure! Way to go Elizabeth. You are amazing!
HOLY SHIT!! the girl playing Kim.... A-freakin-MAZING!!... I literally teared up during that song nd was practically crying by the end!... AMAZING!!! <3
@killrOfTrollz THIS ARE PREPERATION OF HIGHSCHOOLS in THE STATES that geared the students to their future career in stage/singing career. WHICH IS SO GREAT they experience first hand how to perform on stage.
@nathandgreat no she's not but she looks it i know! she is my neighbor she is AMAZING!!! but yeah she lives in New York now and is going to a school thats a branch off of Julliard so yeah. . . .just so yall all know :)
Oh my god! This is amazingly good!! No single moment of overacting, just fully engulfing me with all those feelings just by watching you and listening to your great voice. This is the first time for me to say this, but I think you're even better than the professional actress I saw playing this part in theatre (and I'm a fan!)!!
You have a great voice!! how old are you in this video? i think you will get better and better with more pratice and time. try and work on your breathing a little bit more, try and breath into your diaphram rather than your chest cos the lack of air seemed to restrict you a tiny bit on the high notes and i think with correct breathing those top notes would be SPOT ON!!! well done though that was brilliant xx
She'a a very good actress... acting's full of emotions... reminds me of Monique Wilson..the original Kim understudy of Lea Salonga in the original production of Saigon in London.
Impressive for high school! She shows great emotion, which many young people seem to lack, due to inexperience. She should be proud of her performance!
i really dont see anything special in her.... shes not bad... but she doesnt have what lea salonga by far. but she did good for being 17 and in highschool. props to her.
This is amazing....I hope that she makes it big on broadway - I'd be happy to see her live on stage singing that song as well as she did - this is a very hard song to sing and even harder to put emotion across and she managed to do both - one of the few performances beside the one by the great lea salonga I actually enjoy and deem worthy of my time - thank you for posting this great vesion and I hope she'll get recognized for her great work.
wow! Where was this performance? I thought she was almost as good as the great Lea Salonga. Really . i am very picky when it comes to performances and that was pretty good. i must say that little boy was pretty good too. That isn't easy to get someone that young to sit still.
I agree!!! This gal is looking at a bright and shining career! Whatever you've been doing, sister keep it up! You're so on a blessed path! I'm proud to have seen this, even if just on video...to have seen it live - ugh!!!
I think I might like this more than the original, very convincing. I'm not sure how a girl this age can understand the emotions of this song, but she obviously does.
Jeeze, she sings beautifully.
