Oh dear, poor Millie...Imaqine getting your dance moves that spectacularly wrong in front of lots of respected performers, and a huge audience that included the Queen. Hahahahaha!
Also, you have to feel for Maria. She's a great singer but her mic was just not working for her.
ok, after reading the top comments i realized that some fool decided to think that they were bitching out there at cameron mackintosh's show. by the way, Her Highness attended the show too. so, uh-oh, did i get it wrong or did you really believe that 4 top-notch singers could make a fool of themselves at a performance like this? come on, IT'S ALL STAGED AND THE CHOREOGRAPHY WAS PLANNED BEFOREHAND
if you listen to millecent martin anywhere else she has a nice clear voice. she obviously altered her voice for comedic effect and that's why lea salonga gives her those looks to add to the comedy. why are people accusing lea of being unprofessional?!!
Does it really fn matter.....if she messed up at the end.... What is your point? I guess you never messed up before.... STFU and watch, listen and enjoy!!!
love how lots of people are saying Lea shot that look out of spite, Clearly not!, she's a professional she wouldn't do that in front of an audience :')
There are in 'Company'. This a tribute to Cameron Mackintosh -- who is a huge Sondheim fan and produced many of his shows in England. All four women have, if my memory served, performed in Mackintosh production of Sondheim shows. (Julia Mackenzie also co-wrote the book of 'Putting It Together', and directed the original West End production.)
to all of you out there...there's no bitching here. they all did it on purpose..the look...the steps...everything. that's what makes it fun, to make it appear that they weren't expecting it to happen but of course its rehearsed. so for goodness sake. dont make an issue out of it. i say they're all great! awesome indeed.
Singing voice of Jasmine in Aladdin, and singing voice of Mulan, and Eponine and Fantine (on separate occasions, of course) in Les Miserables, among others.
I feel bad for Maria. Everyone else got solo parts...what about her??? Also, I love how Ruthie's costume looks like her one from Chicago with a longer skirt
Maria really should have had bras on. Lea is so adorabre ja Milly cracks me up every time :) Ruthie is a goddess, look at that body and legs!!! *drooling*
lea was singing the highest doo becouse she said she was late during rehearsal she flew all the way from manila and everybody agree that she should sing the highest doo coz they say shes the youngest sound corny but its the true.hahaha she missed the mulan premier becouse of this event.
umm.. I can understand the "doo" in the end and the wrong moves that Millicent does, and being Lea I would have also given that look. However, she also does it at 1:02 and I think that it makes it a little too much int he same number...
I think that both of them have their wrongs in that number.
I think Millicent put in a great performance, it got laughs from the audience, Lea was fantastic in giving the comical "Dirty" look, and everyone makes mistakes in dancing. I think it was greatly done. I'm sure they laughed about it afterwards.
Lea Salonga was horrible in this song. She should have treated Millicent Martin with a little bit more respect on stage.I used to have a lot of respect for Lea but now I am not so sure
it's scripted. lea would never do that, or any other actor for that matter. at least not this obvious, and not in front of an audience not to mention james cameron.
*nods*, ITA. And Lea - all of them - again give a look at 2:20. It is clearly part of the performance and part of what makes it such fun. I thought they were flawless. :)
(Thanks a lot, lakme, for uploading this. It's great!)
I have to admit, if someone was singing and dancing that badly next to me, I'd probably be tempted to give them a dirty look. And Lea does recover very quickly...
No one who cant fulfill their roles, like cant sing and dance in Cameron's big show like this would be invited to perform. These are all his own personal favorite performers! And that lady's voice is very rocky, very good actually.
Look, if it wasn't scripted. She sang at the wrong part of the song. Lea was supposed to sing that high note at that moment and Millicent fucked up and later in the end she does the wrong dance move. Lea is in no way being a bitch for giving Millicent the comical dirty look, in fact, I believe it saved the moment if it indeed wasn't scripted. It was funny and Lea recovered like a champ.
That is the way the song was originally done in Side by Side - Millie was always "wrong-footed". Miss Salonga is just doing doing what it says in the script.
It's the way the song is done in Side By Side - Millie was always wrong-footed, just as Julia sings the wrong note in Gimmick. So they're just doing what's in the script.
That's really entertainment! I hope they show this program once more in german television to let them know how to do it. So to every "Superstar", "Supertalent", "Musicalshowstar" and whatever more, watch this - these are the real showstars!!!!
"the one on the end is funny, the other seems to just pull weird facial expressions."
I laughed so hard when I read that. Millicent Martin is at the end, and the latter is Maria Friedman... who I love, but yes her expressions in this are kind of funny.
ruthie & lea are always great together.remember the 10th anniv concert of lesmiz,they did fantine & eponine respectively,& their voices blended perfectly 2gether in the duet on the last part of the show,it was 1 of the highlights then.
Oh I love them all. actually it doesn't matter who sings louder. If you really want to hear lea all you listen for is her voice same with those who only hear ruthie.
according to lea she was singing the highest note becouse she was late during the rehearsal she flew all the way from manila and she added that milly martin tells her that shes the only person who can sings the highest doo.
if this is just a contest lea salonga is a sure winner.they maybe equal vocally but salonga's elegant moves in which she look likes she realy enjoy the song makes her a stand out,she's very cute!truely a world class performer!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
it would of been alot better if it had of just been Maria, Ruthie and Lea and they left out Millicent.. she seemed out of place and the way they changed it didnt work.. but good performance anyway..
few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a A killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand(sorry bout spam but this freaks me out)
oh and nobody take this the wrong way because I think ruthie is absolutely lovely - but she just doesn't seem like a "dancer." her movements are quite awkward compared to lea's and maria's.
Coming from a dancer her movements are actually quite precise compared to everyone elses. I think they seem awkward because she has technique as before she became a singer she was a dancer first. example in the "knock knock" section look at how straight her legs are and how she's also using jazz hands, when the others aren't being as precise.
As well in the "Bobby baby Bobby bubi" section she comes in with a grace, her arms are almost like a wave coming in from the ocean.She's very specific. For further examples look up her "Sooner or later" as well as "More" From Putting it Together.
Question: towards the end there is one voice that stands out. This can be heard from 1:35-1:37 on the word "charms" and then 1:42-1:50 on that whole "oh, that sweet affection" bit. Whose voice is it? It's a very buoyant, strong sound.
I don't have an issue with Millicent, but I just don't think she needed to be in this number. Maria, Lea, and Ruthie had a really good vocal harmony going, but Millicent's added voice kind of throws it off. Just saying.
Ruthie, however... Oh man. I love how when she gets really into it, her voice just eats everyone else's.
She tagged along from the previous section, which you can just see at the start of the song. It was a 'Side By Side By Sondheim' section, which she was in.
millicent martin used to be the biggest name in broadway. your not going to expect a person who is in her 60's-70's to sing like a person who is in the 30's. I am a huge millicent martin fan myself, and have enjoyed that she has found a nitch in comedy, because she has good timing.
Ruthie gives the best performance in this! Maybe at times you can't hear her vocally but if u watch her she looks so concentrated...and all the exagerated movement is just perfect!
yeah i was wondering that too... maybe there was a mike problem? or maybe she was just absentmindedly mouthing the words along with Lea. sometimes people do that when they get really into the song. just a few theories...
Millie is absolutely adorable, the way she just has fun and doesn't care what happens.

I see why this has 45,000+ views. It's astonishingly good.

millicent martin used to be the biggest name in broadway. your not going to expect a person who is in her 60's-70's to sing like a person who is in the 30's. I am a huge millicent martin fan myself, and have enjoyed that she has found a nitch in comedy, because she has good timing.

The woman next to Ruthie REALLY should have worn a bra...

Ruthie gives the best performance in this! Maybe at times you can't hear her vocally but if u watch her she looks so concentrated...and all the exagerated movement is just perfect!

They so could've done wivout Millicent Martin
Blonddudegonedark 3 years ago
I completely disagree...she makes it a lot more comic and adds something that could have actually been a bit dull and instead makes it more droll.

at :45 did she make a mistake?

Possibly...but the eccentricity just makes in wonderful! She's relatively old...I like the completely bonkers factor to her!!
Raddz 3 years ago 3
Yeah, me too. I love bonkers. I love insane women 'cause they have no worries, just loads of fun. I love Milly: for me, she lightens the mood.

I know Ruthie and Lea, who are the other two?, the one on the end is funny, the other seems to just pull weird facial expressions.

Is Maria Friedman even SINGING? (I'm talking 1:12-1:16)
matpish 4 years ago
yeah i was wondering that too... maybe there was a mike problem? or maybe she was just absentmindedly mouthing the words along with Lea. sometimes people do that when they get really into the song. just a few theories...
lax34ever 4 years ago
Yeah, it was probably her mic.
matpish 4 years ago
I can hear Maria more than I can hear Lea at 1:12-1:16 so think her mic is definatly on...
