@marielols si cette chanson te fait penser a quelqu'un q tu aimes c'est grave: c'est a dir qu'il t'aime pas D: de tous les façonnes, pouvre Esmeralda.. c'est vraiment emouvant qu'elle lui appelle encore et qu'elle pense a tous ses reves :(:(
@ReginaFilms exactement il m'aime pas ... enfin disons plutot qu'il sais pas trop que j'existe :'( il s'appel edouard et il a 28ans et moi 14 alors timagine la difference ? je reve de lui toues les nuit je pense a lui toute la journee enfin voila c'est ma vie ce mec <3 en plus c'est mon educateur :)
@marielols j peux te dir que mon mec il a 34 ans et moi j'ai 18 ans, qu'il etait mon educateur (mais pas à l'ecole) et que maint nous sommes epouses et que nous attendons un enfant :) ne perdre pas tes reves parce que le vies du Dieu sont impenetrables :)

@fenny121289 Parce que il s'agit d'un musical et il est plus difficile de montrer tout exactement comme on le voit dans le roman... Par example, meme la chèvre Djali n'est pas dans le musical ^^
Mais je crois que il aurait été en effet très interessant d'avoir au moins le charactere de la maman d'Esmeralda avec une propre chanson.
Lo siento pero aunque ella, Helene, cante como los angeles, la verdad es que le falta el caracter juvenil. Es demasiado mayor para el papel, apenas actua, por ejemplo en la tortura, la estan torturando no? te duele? GRITA. No sé, como cantante es genial, una voz preciosa, pero parece que pas que actuar, da un concierto :S por eso me gusta mas Lola Ponce, no se limita a cantar, sino que realmente toma el caracter de su papel ^^ De todos modos, ambas estan bien, aunqe prefiero la version italiana
@Nana1990sama d echo cuando hizo este musical creo tenia como unos 20 años o tal vez un poko mas pero no era tan grande tal vez el maquillaje o la forma de "actuar" x q si yo la vdd imagino a esme como una niña ingenua alegre y despreocupada...y bueno eso d gritar en la tortura esta obra no es asi estilo no c el fantasma d la opera o asi es mas para lucir las voces honestamente solo c limitan a un escenario austero y un vestuario igual tal vez ese sea el punto si t das cuenta aqui no hay dialogs
@roxanaphantom Si en eso estoy de acuerdo, pero tiene que haber un mínimo de interpretación, en el fantasma de la ópera también hay interpretación. Creo que sus voces son muy lindas se lucen bien pero no expresan absolutamente nada, están vacías. Y esta mujer en concreto creo que es la que menos se luce en ese sentido, tiene buena voz pero la escucho y es como quien oye llover, no escucho la historia sino su voz, y no es lo que se busca.
Well I think in the french version is easy to say that "Esmeralda is so stupid! Phoebus never loved her!" because Esmeralda seems like a woman, not like a child o an teenager (that is what she was in the real story). I don't like this Esmeralda because of that, I really like how she sings BUT she's too old. "Flor de lis" "Fiordaliso" etc names, is the best in the french version, acting and singing. Look at the italian version, is too much better (Sorry about my english, i'm from Spain).
@TheNibery Да, мне она тоже очень нравится! Надо признать, что актеров они отличных подобрали, интересная режиссура, сценография. И музыка, конечно, прекрасная!!!!!!!
He isn't dead and yes she is weak, niave and shallow but this is suggested purely because of her age and lack of experience. She is, after all, suposed to be just 16 years old.
Yes but you have look at her situation. She is being constantly prowled about by unwanted men. She has no proper home or infact family. Esmeralda is insecure and thus needy. She sees Phoebus as being the solution to everything, the 'sun', her hero... everything. She is so engrossed in her image of him she fails she realize what a jerk he is.
Everyone has some sort of unhappy situation. It's the weak characters that need to be saved from it, while the strong characters resolve their own issues (with support, but essentially by their own strength of character).
The very notion that she sees this guy as the solution to everything proves her weak character, and I think that was the author's intent. We see it strongly with this song, but also through Quasimodo's "you love him for the outside, without seeing what's within".
I wasn't saying she wasn't a weak character but to brand her as one entirely would be unfair. In the book she is perfectly capable of protecting herself as she wants to, being described as a 'tigeress' in one chapter. A lot of the time this is out of her power but she doesn't just fall down and let people walk all over her unless she wants them to (as in Phobeus' case).
Of course she isn't a rag doll. She stands up to Frollo in "Un matin tu dansais," but she's still desperate to be saved by Phobeus. This makes her emotionally weak in a very important way, which leads to her downfall. That is why I argue that she is a weak character.
In one song she asks for Quasimodo to save her, then she sings for Phoebus to save her. I think it goes beyond being head over heels for one guy into the very unnecessarily weak category.
Hélène Segara a dit que ce n'est pas du tout prévu pour l'instant, mais qu'ils aimeraient tous rejouer cette comédie. En 2008 ils se sont tous les 7 réunis à Paris pour en discuter, mais vu leur emplois du temps, ça ne sera pas avant 2011.
Lastly, she was a dreamer, living in her own world of fantasies and I suspect she had nobody human to open up to before she met Phoebus. This all makes her a victim of circumstances that she could not have expected and knew not how to cope with.
I have to disagree with those who say that Esmeralda was shallow and stupid. I believe you either didn't read the original or overlooked some important details. Firstly, she was very young and it was her first love and, as some of you know, it's is often platonic, unrequited and so its object is loved based on some imaginary qualities. Secondly, she never had anybody teach her what love is, how dangerous can some kind of men be and she, probably, never saw closely a successful relationship.
@v11alley all of that doesn't mean Esmeralda wasn't shallow or naive. (Stupid is sort of the wrong word. If someone's saying stupid, they probably mean naive.)
I believe, it's only natural for a young girl who had no parents to love to lavish her affection on the first man who seems to deserve it (and the first time she met him, he did seem a bid heroic, having rescued her from Quasimodo). And then...You know, some psychologists say that it is only natural for a child (and, at her 16, she's almost a child) to treat the person who has once done you some good as a good one
@v11alley I was a teenager and when a guy didn't stood up for me when I was being teased or harassed, I knew right there and then he didn't give a shit about me so if Esme just analyzed her situation she would see that by the time she is about to be hung by the next, Phoebus doesn't give a shit about her. He didn't even come to see her at the bell towers for pete's sake.
@v11alley But she's a gypsy girl. She's been from place to place. Wouldn't she have seen what men like Pheobus do to her people before? Also, Clopin DID try to warn her about men before, but clearly she wasn't listening as she was too busy admiring Pheobus.
@v11alley in the context all the characters were shallow even Quasimodo. Do they even know each other? None of them know anything about each other how can they be in love? Maybe Esmeralda wasn't shallow and stupid but she was definitely naive for thinking that Phoebus loved her, she should know that he's royalty and she's a gypsy, why would he want her? In Esmeralda tu sais, Clopin even warns her of all the crazy men, therefore she is naive
@ntorneiro well, she was a teenager and Phoebus did "save" her once in the dark street (from Quasimodo)..so he has that orel of saviour and protector for her..very natural for her to fall in love with him in THIS context:P
@v11alley Thank you! I was really wanting to say something about that earlier! And in terms of her treatment of Quasimodo, many forget that she was the only one who ever treated him kindly. He certainly doesn't need any persuading to help her. She saved Quasi & Grignoire, and Pheobus really played himself up to her. I believe the scene of him and Esmeralda in Fleur de Lis' house really gives a good idea of how she felt towards him.
@Amy3422 Co-signing this! Yes, she in love with nauseating, sleazy, "handsome" young man, but he played himself up to her, he saved her when she was kidnapped. She is flawed, but she helped Quasimodo and Gringoire! She is heartbreaking.
@FlavieBrizard well i also did, but imagine a girl who never be truely loved and he appears from nowhere, one morning. she was young, can't you remember your first love?
I read the novel, and it was great. I didnt like esmeralda, i find her too foolish, to shallow, and says loves phoebus but i think she only loves his looks
This song is (after Belle and tu vas me detruire), my favourite from the musical. The composition is brilliant, the performance is outstanding and it is a direct hit to the heart. Phoebus, you're an idiot; Esmeralda, I love you!
@YuiHarunaShinozaki why didn't he? Sorry if I sound ignorant. I really want to read the book but I don't have time because of school. The thing is I know thousands of Esmereldas, in the sense they love a man and they don't love them back. IT IS VERY SAD!!!
Hélène in questa canzone è imbattibile... e le parole in francese mi fanno semplicemente venire i brividi. Era bravissima! Dio, già sono passati 10 anni D:
Poor thing. She still believes that her damned Phoebus will come take her to a peaceful home in the country or something. I feel so sorry about her, she's damned naive.
They all are the victims of their desire and love:
Esmeralda's naivety is only that she believes in true love, she's damned to suffer and find it too late.
Fleur de Lys at first is also naive, believes in true, "pure love", later after having her expectations destroyed, she becomes the viper you talk about. Even if she wishes Esmeralda death, it's the deed of a coward, Phoebus. He's also got an excuse: passion, desire for Esmeralda, but he's worse than Frollo, using and sending her to death.
I disagree - I'd say Frollo and Phoebus are about the same. True, Fleur de Lys should have told Pheobus that Esmeralda was alive, but he obviously saw her being led for her last rites at Notre-Dame-de-Paris and still turned away. However, Frollo lusted after Esmeralda and went as far as to commit murder by trying to kill Phoebus. Esmeralda's fault was that she was shallow - she loved Phoebus because he saved her from Frollo and Quasimodo kidnapping her and she saw him as her shining knight.
Which in of itself is not a bad thing, but she also loved him because of his good looks and the fact he was a royal guard of the King. (A man of the law) Again, not in of itself a bad thing - but she should have asked him who Fleur de Lys was and should have suspected he only thought of her as a fling when he persuaded her to have sex before she was initially ready at the whore house. She had been waiting for him to propose marriage and she wanted a pure true love (like Fleur), but ..
And interestingly enough, there are young girls today that still offer their body to their 'first loves' in hopes it'll make the boy love them...so really Esmeralda was just the same, a naive girl who was in severe need of smack from a mother or a good female friend to get her head straight.
Oh... I'm allways crying when i listen that song. In our school performance "Notre - Dame de Paris" I played Esmeralda and I crying when i had to sing that song. I didn't know, what happened to me... When i had to sing this song's that words:
Phoebus
Promets-moi que tu garderas
Le souvenir d'Esmeralda
I was crying and i was heard just storm of applause in that song's end... Now, i know, what Esmeralda feel, when she sing this remarkably song...
OH MY GOSH! You are sooo lucky that your school actually allows and does not ruin wonderful musicals like this!
If it was set up in my school, the students would be singing flat and would not show emotion. So I had to bring the musical to my house!
And I agree with you, I can feel her emotions. I feel like I am her everytime I listen to this song, I also feel trapped inside a cell, beging for some shining knight to rescue me.
Nothings impossible. If you never tried it and you want the way you sing this song to be good, you listen to the song, and pretend that you are sitting inside a cell awaiting a shining knight to rescue you from your next day's death.
And then, you realize that it is as if it is all real.
Sorry about the comment about Esmerelda. My friend "borrowed" my account and wrote it. I disagree. Fleur, Es, Quasimodo and Gringoire are my favorites.
Non è vero, la versione migliore a mio parere è quella francese. Ribadite il fatto dell'età, ma cosa conta di più la voce e l'apparenza? Trovo Hèlène molto espressiva oltre al fatto che ha una voce stupenda.
che voce!brava l'esmeralda francese!se non fosse per il fatto che sembra la nonna di esmeralda sarebbe perfetta!.......avrebbero dovuto trovare un esmeralda più giovane!in fondo doveva essere una ragazzina di 16 anni...ma cmq sia resta il fatto che è meravigliosamente brava helene
Scusa pero non sapiamo l'eta di esmeralda, per me l'aggio era 20 anni perchè nel tempo 'il tempo del l'amore' non era com'è ora, era piu tardi... sicuro che Helene e piu vecchia pero dire che e la nonna e un puo tropo no ?
See, Phoebus was the only character of that novel who deserved some punishment (even if i admit that there were parts I felt sorry for him). The girl loved him, the young innocent girl gave her heart and soul out to him so readily and he didn't even care. But then there are plenty examples of that situation in the real life as well... so it's not that unusual, sadly :(
Well, do you know where I can get a copy of the swedish translation?
And to answer your question, I'm almost positive that it never was translated into Norwegian. Just Italian, Russian, Spanish, English, German, Swedish, Catalan, Armenian, Polish, and I think some of the Asian languages.

This song is (after Belle and tu vas me detruire), my favourite from the musical. The composition is brilliant, the performance is outstanding and it is a direct hit to the heart. Phoebus, you're an idiot; Esmeralda, I love you!

c'est si triste d'entendre Esmeralda supplier... alors que Poebus ne l'écoute plus...
pauvre Esmeralda, la chance t'a abandonnée aux hommes...
:'(
elle s'explique pour rien... elle n'a plus aucune chance de se faire croire...
pauvre Esmaralda !
Helene Segara excelle dans cette comédie musicale ^^ bravo !!

@YuiHarunaShinozaki why didn't he? Sorry if I sound ignorant. I really want to read the book but I don't have time because of school. The thing is I know thousands of Esmereldas, in the sense they love a man and they don't love them back. IT IS VERY SAD!!!

@YuiHarunaShinozaki It is tragic that many people love some sort of Phoebus.

Poor thing. She still believes that her damned Phoebus will come take her to a peaceful home in the country or something. I feel so sorry about her, she's damned naive.

That's a bit harsh - look at the viper Fleur de Lys.
EmilyGreene1984 2 years ago
They all are the victims of their desire and love:
Esmeralda's naivety is only that she believes in true love, she's damned to suffer and find it too late.
Fleur de Lys at first is also naive, believes in true, "pure love", later after having her expectations destroyed, she becomes the viper you talk about. Even if she wishes Esmeralda death, it's the deed of a coward, Phoebus. He's also got an excuse: passion, desire for Esmeralda, but he's worse than Frollo, using and sending her to death.
Almagestobscure 2 years ago 3
I disagree - I'd say Frollo and Phoebus are about the same. True, Fleur de Lys should have told Pheobus that Esmeralda was alive, but he obviously saw her being led for her last rites at Notre-Dame-de-Paris and still turned away. However, Frollo lusted after Esmeralda and went as far as to commit murder by trying to kill Phoebus. Esmeralda's fault was that she was shallow - she loved Phoebus because he saved her from Frollo and Quasimodo kidnapping her and she saw him as her shining knight.
EmilyGreene1984 2 years ago 3
Which in of itself is not a bad thing, but she also loved him because of his good looks and the fact he was a royal guard of the King. (A man of the law) Again, not in of itself a bad thing - but she should have asked him who Fleur de Lys was and should have suspected he only thought of her as a fling when he persuaded her to have sex before she was initially ready at the whore house. She had been waiting for him to propose marriage and she wanted a pure true love (like Fleur), but ..
EmilyGreene1984 2 years ago
when that put off Phoebus, she agreed to have sex with him (at his urging) - thinking he would later propose if she did it.
EmilyGreene1984 2 years ago
And interestingly enough, there are young girls today that still offer their body to their 'first loves' in hopes it'll make the boy love them...so really Esmeralda was just the same, a naive girl who was in severe need of smack from a mother or a good female friend to get her head straight.

Oh... I'm allways crying when i listen that song. In our school performance "Notre - Dame de Paris" I played Esmeralda and I crying when i had to sing that song. I didn't know, what happened to me... When i had to sing this song's that words:
Phoebus
Promets-moi que tu garderas
Le souvenir d'Esmeralda
I was crying and i was heard just storm of applause in that song's end... Now, i know, what Esmeralda feel, when she sing this remarkably song...
burundukas999 3 years ago 17
OH MY GOSH! You are sooo lucky that your school actually allows and does not ruin wonderful musicals like this!
If it was set up in my school, the students would be singing flat and would not show emotion. So I had to bring the musical to my house!
And I agree with you, I can feel her emotions. I feel like I am her everytime I listen to this song, I also feel trapped inside a cell, beging for some shining knight to rescue me.
longman718 3 years ago 4
Exactly... But, I know, i will never sing this sont that, how it sang Helene Segara. She is so passionately...
burundukas999 3 years ago 3
Nothings impossible. If you never tried it and you want the way you sing this song to be good, you listen to the song, and pretend that you are sitting inside a cell awaiting a shining knight to rescue you from your next day's death.
And then, you realize that it is as if it is all real.

A me piacciono entrambe le versioni, anche se Helene, a livello di voce, manco la vede la Ponce! (nel senso che preferisco la francese, eh).
Però a livello di visual, lola sembra molto più adatta alla ragazzina che è Esmeralda.
Brave tutte e due!
Saekoeru 3 years ago 9
Non è vero, la versione migliore a mio parere è quella francese. Ribadite il fatto dell'età, ma cosa conta di più la voce e l'apparenza? Trovo Hèlène molto espressiva oltre al fatto che ha una voce stupenda.
Vive la france! =)

See, Phoebus was the only character of that novel who deserved some punishment (even if i admit that there were parts I felt sorry for him). The girl loved him, the young innocent girl gave her heart and soul out to him so readily and he didn't even care. But then there are plenty examples of that situation in the real life as well... so it's not that unusual, sadly :(
