  • I'm Rosie in my school's production and I am SO excited! We just had our first full read-through today and it is such a great show :) You did a good job, especially considering you were only a junior!

  • I'm Rosie in my school play and this is perfect!!! I love the few changes to the vocals!!! awesome great job great voice too :-)

  • I got a call back for this part! Wish me luck. This is definitively going to be a fun song to do even if I don't get the part.. This video is for sure going to be my idol performance

  • I agree with MyPaperBleedsInk

  • She is very good. Yet, she could have used more dance experience.

  • Go to Facebook and check out KellyeAnn is On the Spot!

  • Great job! I'm researching for an upcoming audition, and this is the best rendition I've found.

  • WOW! The voice, the charism! And so young too when she performed this! 

  • this is ohhkay... our school is doing this musical too, n its rele good i would say. We have amazing actors/actresses n they rele put thier heart and soul into everything they do. I myself have high dreams of becoming higher into show bizz for singing... i will post vids of my singing later on in the year.

  • fav spanish rose preformance yet!!

  • nice your good

  • Hi I wanted to audition for Rosie (even though i am a freshman) and so i watched Spanish Rose videos until i was blue in the face. When i thought i had a general feeling of this song, i happened to come across this version. I was glad i did. I watched it 12 times, and ended up getting the part! Thank you so much for helping me prepare for the audition, and i will watch this video whenever i feel like I need help getting into character. Thank you soo much for posting this!

  • I'm playing Rosie in November, and the videos you've posted have really helped me prepare the songs, and come up with ideas and inspiration for the part. Thanks a million for sharing! If only my Albert would watch these!

  • @BrainEaterMisfit I know right? My Albert should get a move on. Our show is in 2 weeks, and he dosent know his lines!!!

  • AMAZING!

  • Her voice is amazing!

  • Wow you have a gorgeous voice.

  • your great the best part is not Yidish(yes Im jewish)

  • I'm in this play, and this is my favorit song!

  • Comment removed

  • She is excellent. I love the way she interpreted this song. Do you have anymore videos from this production of Bye Bye Birdie that you would be able to put up? Our school is doing Bye Bye Birdie next year and I would love to see more from this production:)

  • Wow, this was fantastic!!  Great voice!!

  • this looks like a peep show

  • Check out my performance in Bye Bye Birdie! :)

  • Haha I got Ursula :)

  • my school is doing this play! I tried out for rosie and i have to go to call backs! hope i get it!

  • kellyeann.

    this is david d.

    you are my obsession.

    you need to do this more often.

  • My school is doing this production and I am playing Mrs. Mae Peterson. My best friend is Rose and I told her to check out your videos. And my other friend is Helen and she is in the script! she has a few lines, and that's more than some people can say.

  • T.T I got Helen.....and she isn't in the play at all

  • Yes she is! She has a line, which is better than none at all. She's a chorus member that stands out a little bit more! Be happy to get what you got! I get my cast list in a few days, too.

  • we're doing this at my school. i'm auditioning for Rose and Kim. I hope i get one of those.

  • My MIDDLE school is doing this, and I think we are going to suck compared to you. YOUR GREAT!

  • Her voice sounds like Katy Perry. I think this is a VERY fine performance! =D

  • You have a wonderful voice, the roundness of you R's is very whole and pure. the only problem is your arms.

  • "pose-uh", "knows-uh"..?. good voice, but could have used more Spanish in the soul of singing.

    good job

  • What you say is true but she was so young when this was done. THis is a fabulous performance for a junior in HS.

  • JUNIOR! really she sings so wonderful i'd expect her to be an adult here

  • @rblack04 R u rebecca black. Just wondering

  • your voice is beautiful.

    needs more emotion, acting and energy though

  • I LOVE this performance, but she could use more facials

  • omg love it!

  • I CANT WAIT TO SEE U ON BROADWAY

  • This is the best version I've seen online so far.

  • @MyPaperBleedsInk do you know bianca marroquin??

  • she has a great voice but can work on her acting

  • very entertaining....thank you!

  • i think she really gets the song.. haha this was good

  • her vocals r killer!!! but she is just lacking something in her movements...it all seems kind of sloppy...its lacking that spanish flavor...

  • THE BEST!!!!!

  • I love this, she is very talented. I'm going to try out for this part I think but I lack the courage to act like that on stage

  • i like it. but ofcourse i'm a little biased to the girl who played rose at my school.

  • amazing performance

  • omfg i luv this gurl she is so amzin!

  • she looks so bored lol

  • LOL she really does

  • yah her voice is really good.

    her performance lacks a lot of "umph" though.

  • i always liked this song cause i live in allentown

  • the vocals on this girl is unbelievable. bravo!!!

  • the rose @ our school could beast her anyday her performance is kinda boring

  • Really? Would love to see the video.

  • @rblack04 Best I've seen.

  • her voice is fantastic!

  • This song is really cool! My director that it was 'inappropiate' so we had to cut it out. It goes from her saying "Mrs.Peterson" to Rosie. It's weird.

  • Lol aw that sucks! THis was my audition song so...lol they wouldn't cut it! But yes, this is a really really fun song to perform!

  • that sucks

    but it doesn't suck as much as our telephone hour has been choreographed WITHOUT phones!

    it's stupid!

  • That DOES suck. We did Bye Bye Birdie last weekend and i played Rosie. Spanish Rose was the show favorite. :) But we did cut the Shriner's dance....

  • Aww, that sucks. So what happens for the whole shriner's thing?

  • its just cut out. it really doesnt alter the plot that much though, but still would have loved to do it!!

  • Thats what we did as well, i was actually pretty rellieved we cut it though....

  • thts too bad. the shriners scene was one of the audience favorite parts

  • this is unreal! soo goood!

  • 1:30 is amazing. the singing.

  • THE FIRST RENDITION IVE SEEN WITH AN ALTO ROSIE!

    haha besides that..your great =)

  • u were great!! i just wish they did this song in our play. its hilarious xD

  • I just got cast as Rosie, and this video is helping me so much with ideas for Spanish Rose! Thanks!

  • at least i can i hear you, sweetie. most of these videos have terrible sound, though i want to see a video from the jason alexander version of this movie. btw, you are a very cute rose. wish me luck, cause i think i'll be, too!

  • you have a really good voice but your dancing is a little sloppy

  • the choreographer told me to do that for the character. to exaggerate everything like that for comedic effect.

  • She is Amazing!!!! were doing this at my school! wow Bravo hope your on broadway!

  • i love this.

  • my favorite!

  • that was just amazing! =]

  • Ahh! Soo gooood, geez,

    I'm auditioning to hopefully get this part,

    and this definitely gave me some tips.

    Wish me luck?

    And thank you!! :D

  • AMAZING!!!!

  • i dont know why but this reminds me of selena gomez

  • the best spanish rose ive seen

  • She's Amazing! Broadway is waiting for her!

  • I watch this like everyday now, haha! You're so good! Bye Bye Birdie auditions are in January, and I'm definitely going to sing this piece! Your choreography is pretty spiffy :D Any suggestions?

  • i'm auditioning for this part at my school! if i get rosie i'm totally going to try to dance like this. it was amazing. you're awesome.

  • o god!!!my best friend/enemy(haha carlay)is going to a callback for rosie tonite and i got 1 4 mae and we're both really nervous and shes really good but not as good as that!!!ur good, person!!!

  • hahaha thanks so much! best of luck to both of you!

  • Hi,

    you're really good. i know that if i sang like this for my audition, i would get the part soo easily!

    I just have a question. since I am trying out for this part at my high school, i'd like to know if you think there is a lot of dancing involoved in order to play this part well. I'm not really a dancer....

  • there is actually. She has the "Suitcase Ballet" (I believe thats the name) where she does a dance solo for a song, and then there's the "Shriner's Ballet" which is also a dance only number. Sometimes directors choose to leave these numbers out though, so if you aren't a dancer don't count yourself out just yet!

  • i'm auditioning for bye bye birdie for my high school's musical productions and i chose this song for my auditions, any advice or suggestions? anyone???

  • is it a comical role you are auditioning for? if so, be sure to include as much comedy as possible. thats the heart and soul of this piece!

  • this was amazing....i i like this one better than the one vanessa williams did in the remake!

  • Wow, you're fantastic ^^ I wish I could roll my r's...

  • amazing!! haha ur soo good. our school just did bye-bye birdie =). you r so talented.

  • TheTankMachine thinks you're Hott

  • haha well thanks.

  • This is amazing!

  • damn shes mad good

  • If I post video of me singing can you give me a few tips on what I need to fix?

  • absolutely!

  • thank you

  • ...I'm jealous.

    I have to play Rose in my school's musical and I don't think I can out-do her. hahaha

    It was awesome!

  • that isTHE best rose ever! you did way better than i did in the play! lol that was really good! :D

  • LOVE HER VOICE!!

  • shes got the singing down perfect but shes not a very good dancer. shes clumsy at best and ugh! that costume! but my god that voice! she should stick with that.

  • 1.this song doesnt reqire a lot of choreography and 2. she cant help that thats what they chose for her to wear

  • thanks for you constructive criticism!! in all seriousness, i appreciate it! as for the costume, they did pick it out for me, and the choreography, the choreographer told me to be that way (over the top, clumsy, etc, for the humor). thanks again!

  • god i love a girl who can take constructive criticism, you are now a legend, most of the other people i criticise are all 'shutup i was young, its not my fault, im glad you took it like this. still love that voice of yours.

  • That was fantastic!

    I'm auditioning for Rose with that song, so it was helpful to see your rendition. Great job!

  • omg brilliant! i am auditioning for rosie for my school play this year :D wish me luck (or rather break a leg lol)

  • Wow, she's really good!!

  • that. was. amazing.wow

  • by the way, you are great :]

    are you still at houston, or did you graduate?

    i was hoping to see some of their plays.

  • no i just graduated this year unfortunately! i will miss it terribly! they're doing Grease as their musical next year, so you should definately go see it.

    it was Spring 2007. Good luck at auditions!

  • how long ago was this that houston performed this?

    arlington is most likely doing it this fall :]

    i'm auditioning for rosie.

  • by far THE best rendition on youtube

    your pretty excellente

  • idk...:-)

  • that was amazing

  • my sister went on my account and commented that... but i agree.

    i've watched this video so many times i could do the dance (does that make me sound like a stalker? it sounded pretty stalker-ish to me... im NOT a stalker. i just like the video... im gonna stop typing now...)

  • haha not at all. thanks so much though!

  • ya well.....

  • ya well what?

  • you are by far the best rose alvarez on youtube. but the only videos i could find you singing were english teacher and this one. are there any more on youtube in this play?

  • oh you can go to "rblack04" profile and look at a bunch of the videos. it belongs to the mother of the guy who played albert.

  • thanks so much!!

  • "ros-a" "knows-a"

    ...thats pretty annoying.

    but anywaysss. fantastic voice. =]

  • Only in Bye Bye Birdie can one rhyme the words advice and wise. Ohman...

    By the way, you're amazing.

  • ya know that thing when she says something in spanish really fast and the whole crowd laughs at around 2:07... what does that mean?

  • "my name is rosita hernandez". which wasn't my characters name. haha. oh well. come to think of it i have no idea why the lyrics say that.

  • oh. lolz.

    yea. my school is doing this show and i am studying for the part, so i was curious.

  • Oh, you go gurrrrllll!

    SING IT!

  • i like her! she's a little too cutesy, but hey, its bye bye birdie.

  • Sorry, I meant former comments. But, yes, why not? I´ll write you and email to apologise :+) That´s the right thing to do.

  • Hi singagirl89. I´m Kriegerwulf although I forgot my password and had to create a new account. Just wanted to say I admit you were right. Under the light of what you´ve explained, I have no choice but apologising for what I said in former emails. Keep up the good work and talent! Cheers

  • good job sweetie.

  • awesome!

  • This is an amazing version of Spanish Rose. I'm playing Rosie right now and I'm quite worried about this song. Great Job!

  • i love this song. im doing the play at my school and tried out for this part (this is the youtube owners sister-AnnaBananaRamag\)

  • this is such a good rendition! our school just did this as our spring musical, i love this song.

  • Very nice job! I enjoyed the performance very much. She has great voice and she can dance. The comedy was a nice touch. I liked it better that the Janet Lee version.

  • I think she has a lovely singing voice

    BUT

    she really lacked energy in this performance. It didn't have that spark that Rosie exudes. She hit a couple of high points, but overall, it lacked.

  • This is OK. The Rosie in my play can sing better on my opinon. p.s I'm not her.

    P.s P.s Sorry

  • I watched your Spanish Rose and I'll have to disagree.....sorry!

  • i agree with you i saw that persons spanish rose and i thought kellye's performance was better

  • nice!!! great job!!

  • i thought it was really good. Nice version

  • best performance i've seen of spanish rose!

    added it to my favorites. =]

    my school did a production of bye bye birdie like last week.

    it was so fun and i played mae,

  • That sounds like beautiful American democracy, uh? Many of you just say "shut up, don´t criticise". The thing is I never said that. I said the girl HAS talent but she can CHOOSE what type of art she wants to perform and that´s HER responsability. I think I´m totally entitled to NOT like the play and that anybody takes part in such a exaggerated parody. And please, don´t put words in my mouth. I never said it sucked. I can perfectly appreciate her voice IS good. Cheers.

  • You may not be familiar with satire, but that is the purpose of this song. The reason the author wrote this song was to make SOCIAL COMMENTARY about racial prejudice & discrimination against hispanics in hopes of bringing the issue to the attention of theatre goers (a largely white middle-upper class demographic at the time this show was written). As someone who is American Indian, I chose this role because of the stance it takes on white ignorance in race situations. Just thought u should know.

  • are you kellyeann?

  • yep! i am indeed. the last line should have read "just thought you should know where i was coming from when i accepted the role"....but i ran over the allowed number of letters.

  • oh ok well i think that you are very talented!!!! i dont know if you read my comment on a house is not a home but you have some of the most God given and natural tlanet i have ever seen!!! i am in bye bye birdie with the local community theatre i am basically a dancer-my main role is i am a sad girl during put on a happy face i wish i could sing like you but i have no singing talent at all-if i could sing i would have auditioned for rosie but oh well

  • thank you so so much!! i love the show! im sure you re having a blast doing it!

  • you're welcome and we actually havent started yet we have our first read through saturday-our performances are in august-btw i am an aspiring theatre actress not like broadway or anything but yea are you a senior this year or did you graduate already? i graduated in 2004 i am from california btw not southern cali but central cali

  • You are amazing, i'm using this to kind of map put for mhen i'm singing this song in november! You have an amazing voice! Keep singing.

  • shes right. she does have the right of the first ammendment...

    sorry. im a social studies nerd @_@

  • PEOPLE!!!!! STOP MAKING FUN OF HER!!!!! she has feelings too!!!!! so just shut-up wwith all those "omg!!!! she sucks" comments........its hard to sing like that.....plus stage fright!!!!! and she's probaly woried cuz ya'll people are being retards and making fun of this poor girl!!! so.... SHUT UP!!!!!!!! p.s im not her....

  • i dont care if people say that it sucks.....i like it....and cuz of it....i found a stray dog and named it Rose.....

  • random much? jk. i like it too.

  • hey! this girl is ACTING IN BYE BYE BIRDIE!!! ONE OF HER FRIENDS OR THE SCHOOL OR SOMEONE TAPED HER PERFORMANCE!! GOD!! GROW A BRAIN, CUS EVEN WITH MY TINY BRAIN I KNEW THAT!

  • to9 all the people who are taking her seriously THESE ARE NOT HER PEROSNAL VIEWS SHE IS ACTING IN A PLAY NOT REALITY!! SHE IS JUST PLAYING HER CHARACTER and i think she has AMAZING TALENT!!

  • I get so pissed off every time I see the video. I amdit, anyway, this girl has talent, but it´s a shame using it for this kind of "comedy". Art is a codified way of telling about reality (it could be hidden as comedy, but with a real reference. This could very well be Mars). And, no, lady, "I won´t buy your tortillas" and "don´t like you, no".

  • I don't think you realize that her character is mocking the old woman's stupidity in thinking all spanish speaking cultures are the same. Just like I'm mocking you when I say that you know what you're talking about!

  • It is'nt her fault this was written a really long time ago. Like in the fiftys.

  • With all due respects, it´s really annoying this girl gets SO confused between 2 cultures. Spanish, by definition, means from Spain. The parody is some very messy mixture of 2 continents cultures. I know some crazy Spanish grils myself, but they have nothing to do with this kind of crap. I´m always ready to laugh at my own culture, but this was not funny at all. It´s not a parody of reality, but of some distorsionedview some people have of the Spanish speaking world.

  • its THEP PLAY BYE BYE BIRDIE!ITS A SONG IN THE PLAY!DUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHH! and SHES LIKE AMAZING!

  • jeez. when will you people get it right.

    shes ACTING!!! im spanish too and i found it funny cuz i dont take everything so seriously. she had NO CONTROL over how the play was written. she was simply acting the part she got. thats it. done.

  • thanks!

    haha im so confused. which comments were you replying too in you previous comments?

  • for the acting one i was replying to something like "she has a responsibility to choose which play shes in" and the response for the right of the first ammendment was for that one too. and for the random much comment someone wrote thir dog's name is rose.

    sry. thats not really helpful. just disregard these comments...

  • qtpie you suck! i bet you could'nt sing ten times WORST than her!

  • She suckes

  • she's better than our rosie! she can sing and dance, but she can't incorporate acting into the number like this girl does!

  • I love this musical! She did soooo good!

    ~Ellen~

  • Amazing. :]

  • amazing
