TFS Footloose: Holding Out for a Hero

[laurennunes9]

They mess up the song. The singer is the best. Others don't sing it strong enough and they change pitch or what ever you call it. They are horrible.

[hollywood9314]

I dont understand how so many

People think their voices were great. Maybe im spoiled because i grew up around broadway. But people

Are saying this is amazing for high schoolers. In my footloose show, wendy jo, urleen, rusty, and ariel are all in 8th grade. Weve only been practicing for 3 weeks, and we ALREADY sound 100 times better than them.

[TheMultiProduction]

@hollywood9314 Well isn't that just one sided

[hollywood9314]

Im currently in footloose at a community theatre in nj as urleen, and i have to say this is pretty bad... One of the girls, i cant tell i think its wendy jo, is in a totally different key then the rest

Of the girls. The choreography totally doesnt make sense, its rather boring Actually. Overall a disappointment. Although rusty is okay, it still is overpowered by

The poor quality of the others voices.

[tatumerin13]

Rusty's voice is SOOOO GOOOD.

[EvaFab3]

Is this a highschool? Cause if it is they have money out the ass. But good job though

[EVideoJ77]

I keep finding all these songs, and I never knew that they were all in Shrek! Haha

[katielove114]

You guys are amazing!! <3 I'm Ariel in my school's Footloose, and I have to sing that "out where the lightning SPLIIIIIIHHHTSSSSS the sea" I hope I don't fail miserably LOL!!

[musicalsareme]

oh my god your girls have VOICES! (: im going to be Rusty in our production and i can belt, but i really hope i can do it like your Rusty!! you go girls!!

(PS- are your guyses Rusty and Ariel twins?? they are like identical!)

[purplepupgirl27]

goosebumps

[thestarfish6393]

the pitch is awesome throughout in this song, but the timing is WAAAAAAYYYYYY off, and the choreography really didn't work. what was with the three girls in sparkly dresses at the top? didn't make ANY sense at all. also, ariel sounds like she has a thick new york accent which clashes SO MUCH with the role.

however, hands down your rusty is THE BEST of any on youtube.

[BarbieHasNoSwag]

@thestarfish6393 i agree about all of that! rusty (britt mckillip) is amazing.

[JTFsingz]

This is a powerful song that should tear down the house, and although vocally all four of them are excellent ,  the painfully awkward choreography prevented that.

[sullidancer45]

this is great!!! im playing ariel in my summer program and im so excited!!

[Tanglephish]

I looked for this song after seeing it, and I have learned on thing: the song is much better when it includes Indiana Jones, Superman, and Mr Clean.

[Amandapanda1553]

The actress who played Rusty was amaizng!!! Outstanding vocals!!!

[TheHiphopjoe]

Wow. Awesome. Is this a high school? If so I'm impressed.

[awakewhenimasleep]

ohh okay hahaha. this is reallly good btw!

[awakewhenimasleep]

does anyone notice the guy sitting at the other table?

[static375]

@awakewhenimasleep He's meant to be there <3 It's supposed to be a fantasy so he can't see a thing of what's happening =p

[kristenntower]

ariel has a good voice but is incredibly over stylized. she needs to tone it down and just sing without trying to sing like a diva

[sooperdoopershortpea]

Only thing is why didn't the stagecrew wait about three seconds until the end of the song to walk in front of them?

[Lollipop8927]

@sooperdoopershortpea

they were dressed in pink, they were probably waiters cuz theyre at a resturant

[xxkmkx9694x]

STOP LISTNENING TO SO MUCH POP. You did not deserve this role. Learn what intonation and diction means. ALL OF YOU. You make me sad.

[XenoVega]

@xxkmkx9694x Times change. Keep up or drop out.

[xxkmkx9694x]

@XenoVega times change but what's considered trashy singing doesn't

[CrownPrincessSasha]

Im working spotlight for this at my school, our version is going to hav some pretty awesome stuff :)

[JosieMcF22]

Rusty is the best i love britt mickillip and one more girl ROCKS !!!!!!

[11Edona]

i think that other blonde should have been ariel...

[ScarfsAndGuitars]

You guys are wonderful!

[jeffsomer]

This is the best version of this song online

[sugstar18]

rusty played by britt mckillip is part of a country music group called ONE MORE GIRL with her sister carly mckillip and they are amazingly talented and phenominal. cheek out their youtube channel to get full coverage, the cover 'RAIN' is my favorite of theres!!!! luv britt (she was also reggie on the fox networks show DEAD LIKE ME)

[summergeni93]

the dancing was really bad, but the singing was really good.

[TheZarboFilms]

Oh my god! Everybody is go great. Everyone suits their parts - and have kick ass voices!

[hhnskuu]

amazing voices

[64horsegirl]

i don't understand it ... some of the comments below mine are saying that this performance sucks ...

i thought the vocal are absolutely amazing. i mean ... all four girls are incredibly strong and they keep their parts. although i do agree with some people about the choreography and the actual acting part of this (they were weak), the vocals swept me off my feet! =D nicely done!!!

[mikeride101]

This actually pretty amazziinngg!!!!!!

Amazing vocal ability from most of these girlss!!!! ;)

:))

[jeffsomer]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[AnnieePann]

AAHHHH I just got cast as Ariel :D I'm sooo excitedd. This Ariel has a really strong voice there's something really intriguing about it that I can't quite put my finger on. But Rusty kicks ass man :),

[Gogreen365]

rusty is REALLY good. they are a great trio

[mollyphloot07]

The girl who played Rusty should have played Ariel and vice versa. :/

[threehotdogs3]

2:17 is AMAZING!

[ashleytisdalerox811]

i really dont understand why some people bash this video. its probably the best vocals on youtube.

[xJeniee]

when we do this we have the guys on roller skates and they strip down to their boxers! haha it's so funny :D

[AmErIcA12312312]

you post a video of it on youtube! thats hott!!

[Emmykait]

We're doing Footloose right now and sorry girls but I'm sure you can do better

[Leckeeer]

LOL

2:47

da suchen sie ihre kontaktlinsen xD

[x1xKonohasLotusx1x]

Ariel is TERRIBLE. The other two are great, though.

[ashleytisdalerox811]

@x1xKonohasLotusx1x she's realllllly good. not terrible at all.

[BrainStew97]

The harmony's were very good. The choreography was poor in all honesty. Rusty, Urleen and Wendy Jo were terrific. Thats all I'm gonna say!

[dana102083]

@BrainStew97 agrees!

[hillmie87]

@BrainStew97 couldn't agree more. Voice is good, choreography is so-so.

[east1012000]

honsetly this was good vocally like rusty,wendy jo......ect were rele good at keeping the harmonics great...thats hard n good job

[actor4life5678]

I really enjoyed this! I'm in this musical right now and our director was in the origional broadway cast....im really excited!

[Barisaxlover]

they also need more action on stage, its too monotonous

[becky5428]

ABSOLUTLY AMAZING VOCALS! well done xxxx

[Barisaxlover]

amazing? are you kidding me? this sucks

[XineVincent]

I honestly think that they have some of the best sets and vocals, but they're choreography is just too simple.

[hayastan911]

great song

crappy performance

[Rhiiexoh]

haha when my school did Footloose we had the really athlectic muscular boys dressed as different "Men In Uniform" (Policemen, Pilots, Firemen etc) flexing their muscles on stage :p

[Barisaxlover]

lol we had that too, it was a crowed pleaser! :)

[justdance8888]

we did this play at my musical theatre place....capachiones school of performing arts...the best place in the world....look it upp if you love to dance sing and act!!!! i was urleen

[emgee10]

great voice ariel! i feel like you do too much in the very beginning slow part. maybe its just me, but i feel like that part should be really simple and pure and then belt out on i need a hero. haha.

[andawayshegoes]

heyyy, cannn I have your voicesss??/like a trade??? haha wow, this is the best youtube version I've found. which actually isn;t saying much (no offense other people) except you guys are actually really, really good!!! pehnominal!!!

[gracefulgirl09]

this is the best version of this song vocally that I have ever heard....great job!

[Ryoko1259]

アリエルは本当に良い歌です！

[broadwaybaby6885]

The theatre I work for just did this play. It has AMAZING vocals and GREAT choreography. Its probably the best one Ive seen.

[charliexoxobelle96]

i always think of the shrek movie when i hear this song

[Sharppiie]

omg lol, i always think of the shrek movie too!! ther verison frou frou sings

[flylobster]

lmao me2

[Moasi24]

If you thought this was good then you should of seen my school verison!!! But this is the only verison I've liked on YouTube

[ChristineRuud]

PHENOMENAL voices. Loved it!

[omerific55]

amazing vocalsss. i just spent like 15 minutes trying to find a good version of this song on youtube, and i'm SO glad i came across your version.

[jg060291]

the voices are of such a high standard!!

[fantine4life]

Great vocals.

The only thing I would say would be that Ariel just seemed like she was JUST singing it... I didn't see much emotion in her face.

I really liked Rusty's voice, too.

[ThatHufflepuffGirl]

I use this video to practice my harmonies & choreography. I'm Wendy Jo in my production! :] These girls did a grrrreat job.

[dramateen91]

oooooh!!! fun number!

[FigureSkater618]

this is a school production?! how did they manage to find sooo much talent at one school?! and the sets! what a theater program at that school!

[virgonomic]

Ariel can sing! Great soul. Quite an elaborate Burger Blast set!

[N3rdified]

Weird choreo, but great vocals.

[csteg2]

The choreography was awkward.. But great great voices!

[syyyru]

Main Singer was Fantastic!

[ViperBandChick92]

=/ I don't really like the choreography of this song. other wise its really really good! <3 great song.

[felpetai]

Very nice, the ending was messy with the girls taking the "mic stands" away but otherwise, very very nice. We're doing Footloose in September and I'm so excited!

[teamvampire189]

the choreography could be better but besides that it pretty good!!

[spiderqueen712]

i love this song. and you guys reallyyy do it justice! it's amazing. our productions gunna be sad. it's guna be in march, but we only know 2 songs..... YIKES! gr8 job!

[xxgoodgalxx]

lol my school show is in march. its going to be great!

[ItalianSongbird]

when is ur production?? like what days??

[spiderqueen712]

It's March 23-26

[ItalianSongbird]

oh ok. b/c mine is march 20th and 21st so i thought u like went to my school

[spiderqueen712]

that would be kool tho. now, we know 10 songs. so, thts good....i think. [bumbumbum]

[ItalianSongbird]

we know all of act 1 now. we're working on act 2 all next month and then the week before the show is referred to as hell week so it should be good.

[ZekeBaylor]

This is the best adaptation of an amature performance of Footloose I have seen...and Ive been in Footloose before.

[pinkbikinis23]

hey. i was just wondering where you found your red cowboy boots. im ariel in my school's production and we are having a heck of a time finding some...

[iwishiwasahippo]

hahahaha our ariel too

[KiriannasBoyARtisan]

Is Britt McKillip the one in the white and green jacket, or in the blue one?

[KiriannasBoyARtisan]

Britt McKillip was the only juvenille actor on Baby Looney Tunes.

[xxgoodgalxx]

amazing my school is doing this play this year!

[ShaReBearr]

Shiiiiiit, I love people who feel the need to be so critical of a youtube video... especially of a high school musical. Everyone in the play volunteered to be in it; you can't expect some highly experienced (and paid) singer. So let's bring the criticism to room temperature and just respect the singers and the play for what it is.

[Irishlover75]

i think the audience had just a lot of horny guys, becuase whenever girls kick their legs up in this vid and "Let's here it for the boy" the whistle and won't shut up

[AllStarr227]

Could the stage crew at least wear black instead of distracting the audience with pink? They definately took my attention away from the singers.

[sillyjilly679]

maybe it was actor/actress waiting backstage for the next scene...

[AllStarr227]

I was refering to the stage crew, which I believe was very clearly stated.

[TheMysyfyer]

let me just get this out...WHAT THE HELL? Ariel had absolutely no stage presence at all, one girl sounded like she was yodeling, and there was NO NEED for them to get on the ground. it looked stuped if u ask me. and yes i can talk cuz we also did the show and it was SOOOO MUCH BETTER than whatever this was...

[UveBeenLuPwned123094]

did we ask you? i didn't think so.

[ilovemileycyrus10123]

Ours was the best. The school got an award. Our acting and choreography was GREAT they said.

[UveBeenLuPwned123094]

we don't care.

[DefyingGravity13]

I LOVE Britt McKillip's voice!!!!!

[wolfchic13]

Remember the girls are still in a town thats not allowed to dance at this point in the musical.  Of course the choreography can't be over the top in this number... but the vocals... they are amazing here. Perfect.

[garuik]

if you didnt know, its supposed to be a dream.

[UveBeenLuPwned123094]

so true.

[ShaReBearr]

Nicole is my hero. <3

[LalaBriana]

the dancinq was bad.

but, everythinq else was amazinqqqq.

my school's doing this musical, also.

[lifeinacndyswrl]

nice job!

[rhsdrama010]

Ariel is amazing. Is this just a high school production, because this seems a lot better than that. Best version I've ever seen.

[violingal1985]

i think that while the voices in this play are really good that their choreography is extremely week. there is no sassiness in this song like there should be. if they were just singing thats fine but this is a musical. good dancing is essential.

[pikaachuxx]

the ariel's voice is tottaly amazing during the middle of the song.

mad props =)

[carlisuperstar]

ariel's vocals are very good, but it seems too pop ish for the song, imo.

and wendy jo could have been a little more ditzier in the "if i could only find a guy" line

i dont like the coreography, but the voices are goood

[garuik]

every video ive watched from this showing theres no stage lighting.. its horrible.. spot lights dont work.. lights make the mood. horrible director

[killwithcrayons]

TFS is the most consistently good that i've seen so far with all the footloose videos on this site.

the vocals are just under fantastic.

.,.and i liked the crawling on the floor personally hahaha

we're putting this show on in just 2 1/2 weeks!

so be lookin for some videos from me ;]

[00iluvmcr00]

Glencoe??

[garuik]

they put way too much into it.. including the sets and the singing is a little over the top

[CoolioChicken]

it's a musical. it's supposed to be over the top

[killwithcrayons]

urleen said her line wrong....

[yollegirl]

i didn't think the ariel did a good job in the beginning. she adds too many syllables. also the choreography was weird for the song! crawling on the ground was creepy.

[avymf7]

i think they did a really good job. they really pulled off the harmony.

[violingal1985]

the harmonizing in the beginning is good but ariel is too overdone. she's trying to hard to sing like a black soul singer.

[Tyrenia]

Our Ariel looks less slutty, a lot prettier, but I admit that these people made the play very funny

[annajoy2009]

the crawling on the floor was really weird...

[watermelonlemonade]

i think our plays singing was better

[musicismydaddy]

Personally I didn't think the girl who plays arial was great she was okay but that is just my opinion.

[defying33gravity]

Rusty's the best by far! the rest are pretty good too though. the choreography was kinda bad though.

[mlf777]

who the heck did the choreography???

[chairsincages]

you guys are sooo good.. we have watched all of your videos, our distric schools are doign footloose in 6 days at teh capitol theater and i have gotten so much inpriation from the girl who plays ariel (i play her aswell)in this production! your soo good! and gorgeous i might add!

[LnB15]

opps nevermind, theyre not sisters, silly me.

[LnB15]

are the girls who play rusty and ariel sisters? they look a lot alike, and they're both pretty good too!

[kouga34]

wow nicole is amazing!!! they all are.. but i was sick when my school went soo i couldnt to go see it..and now the theatre cant even be used... but hopefully we will get it back, no i know we will!!!! :)

[coachh10]

hahaha ok well lets see how far she gets!!!

[ShaReBearr]

Too bad she's amazing and you're just a bitter douchebage who has to insult highschool musical videos to make yourself better. Please do something that's even REMOTELY recognizable. Asshole.

[jemiller226]

Heh. I've heard way, way worse coming from people who are supposedly better than high schoolers. I've heard better, too, though. Maybe it was just the miking or the sound guy, but she needs to work on her strength (as in sheer power) to pull off a part like Ariel better. The girl playing Rusty has a much stronger voice, as can be heard in the video for Let's Hear It For The Boy.

[jemiller226]

Ran out of room in the last comment.

None of that is to say that she's a bad singer or that she doesn't have a future in it if she wants it. She just has some work to do, and there's nothing wrong with that. Most people with a future do.

[purplenpink09]

hahaha okay "Coachh10", you're clearly not any authority on singing ability.

[tman4lwh07]

okay the lines in the begining were definitly delivered to fast and the dancing was a little boring our schools cheoroegrapy was a lot better!

[Champiies]

I Like it and i love the song in shrek 2 :D

[coachh10]

Maybe someone should tell that Ariel that she does not have a future in singing!! Thanks!!!

[GayBoiDavid]

lihten up dude its a bloody school show

not a live performance at wembley

and frankly i loved it

you dont need to be rude

if you dont have anything nice to say just dont say anything

she may not be good in your stupid little world but she's one of the best ariel's on youtube so shhh

[TheMysyfyer]

What the hell? dont give that 'if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all' crap. first, ppl will NEVER succeed in life if you only gave nice things to say. take constructive critizism and use it to your advantage. i have nothing against gay pl, but they tend 2 say 'dont say anything bad' crap. learn from what's worse and take it to make it better.

[GayBoiDavid]

you have nothing against gay people?

wot does me being gay have to do with this?

i just don't like people dissing performers. when i performed in my school musicals i wouldn't like people dissing me. at least they have the confidence to get up there.

[TheMysyfyer]

oyu're right. i am an actor like they are. they do have the confidence to get up there, but can they take criticism? i do, when someone says "that part sucks", i dont get mad, i find a way to make it better

[bettymacy]

why waste ur time arguing? just get over it

[pigeonfluff1011]

reading what you just said, that is not constructive criticism, being cinstructive means that it is unoffensive and helpful, you were neither. I think you were really harsh, they were really good and did really well.

[ShaReBearr]

I'm sure none of these comments even phase this Ariel.

[omggg94]

"if only i can find a guy" Oh man me to!

[kaleigh333]

this was one of the best scenes!! love ittt

[gezzikaaa]

Yeayyyy A Fan =)

[56thProductions]

The harmonies are really good here! Except it got a little weak towards the end, but then it gets good again, if that makes sense. I think the lines at the beginning are delivered too fast and the choreography is a little blah, but I liked it none the less. :)
