I'm in a local production if Oliver and it's only a small town so most of the performers aren't professional. But to be honest... I prefer them to this. This is beautiful but it seems so fake ( yeah I know it is but it's not natural) and the Rose seller is only like 17 but she has an amazing sweet voice, the milkmaid is 16 and she's brilliant and the strawberry seller is barely 15 and her voice is powerful! And sure we have a knife grinder who's only 11 and he's fantastic!
@Katelovesglee Hey sorry, I hit the wrong button. Yeah, a local theatre did a production of Oliver!, and it was amazing. A lot of kids and people who haven't have a lick of singing lessons or anything can put professionals to shame. So I really like your comment, but I knida hit the down button. Soooo sorry for that. But you are right.
Wow, the rose sellers voice is one of the most beautiful i have heard, and she looks stunning to. Her voice also reminds me alot of Julia Roberts in the style she sings and the way she reverberates and uses her breath while singing, espically at 0:46!
Perhaps you only watched the movie, which actually departed rather dramatically from the original musical in many ways, but there is actually only "supposed" to be 1 milkmaid...at least that's how the music was written. Maybe instead of focusing on how it doesn't fit *your* idea of how it should be, you could try to appreciate it as its own individual performance with individual merits.
That's Aled Jones...he started out as a really famous boy chorister and then kept on singing even when his voice broke. You can see him in a lot of videos with a group called Libera as well as his own videos from songs he has recorded.
When I first saw this, I thought Joseph was a girl, but once I fond out who he was, I've become a big fan. I love Hayley, she's an amazing singer, Aled is also one of my favourites. I've listened to the choir boys a few times- wonderful voices, and Amy is very good, too.
Amy Nuttall has a beautiful voice and is one of the most versatile performers of today. Her soprano voice carries the song here, yet in Cabaret she sings songs which would be well below many other soprano's range and sings them brilliantly.
I remember in London last year, there was this guy trying to sell the 'Big Issue' mag. He was singing 'Who will buyyyyy, my boring Big Issuuuuuue' to this melody! If I'd had any change I'd have bought one to reward him for his originality.
frenchprincess24, if you look around you will find the answers to half your questions. The title of the song? - look at the name given at the top as the name of the video. When was it? - look at my answer to the same question 3 months ago. Info re the singers? - look at the info given by nickylibera at the top......
According to the dating here, you asked 3 weeks ago and only one answer was posted. I was just suggesting that the answers to questions are often already there, and you may as well look around the site first before asking things!
I was slightly disappointed that the action was masked by them standing without motion... I dont understand why they didnt dress them up and get them doing the routeen. I love this song but it wasnt the best version Ive heard of it.
i knew that was Amy! but Hayley singing screw it up! I'LL BUY YOUR FREAKIN' MILK THEN POUR IT DOWN YOUR FREAKIN' SHIRT! lol! i like Amy...but HAYLEY? OMFG!
Millions of singers who would give there left arm to be as successful as she is, so a horrible vocal technique is a good thing. She does look a bit odd in that vid. As though she has toothache or something. She's just done Maria in the latest version of West Side Story, so you can see some more bad technique there.
Well, it's not her fault that she has toothache. Actually, they all have a strange vocal technique except the woman in red and she's out of tune. So there you are!
I thought you meant that I was sucking... I don't know if she has toothache or not. She does look different somehow. But I don't think her technique is that unusual. Her breath technique may not always be perfect. But you could probably say that about many singers.
The other female singer is Amy Nuttall, once of Emmerdale fame! And it absolutely is Aled Jones. He has a great voice, and can sing a wide variety of types of song
Btw is the guy really Aled Jones? Coz I have his CD, he does not sound that "strong baritone voice" in the CD. I really doubt is that the same person~
Isn't the girl in the white from Celtic women?
