I love her rendition, just wish she could have hit on top of those high notes a little better rather than reach so hard for them. From the sound of her voice, she could definitely have gotten them with more practice ahead of time... I understand that for the movie, they were trying to deviate from the big broadway sound, but... eh. From experience, it is a difficult song to sing though, I'll give her that.
I'm male and can force my voice to somewhat-almost close to her range of vibrato while singing this song, but it feels like it'll make my heart explode out of my chest!
@AnonymeAnimal The vibrato is either natural or you still need to mature depending on your voice. I'm a teen so I'm just now developing my vibrato but never force it. If you have straight tone then consider a vocal coach if you want a vibrato
is there a chance for someone who was not born with a great voice to become a singer? (i don't mean famous, just good at singing) and does someone know how the vibrato works? i can do it but not all the time
@AnonymeAnimal Some can, some can't. The best advice I can give you is to find a vocal coach in your area and see if they would be able to help you. A person who is good at coaching voices would know if you have potential or not after a few notes.

I like the way she sings is compared to many of the stage versions, becasue it's like she's a little songbird herself, trapped in a gilded cage. I think it's better being soft and gentle and teeeeeny!! :P
@VintageBroadwayStar I don't normally like vibrato... To me, it often distracts from the song rather than adding to it. However, I agree that it fits well with the feeling of this song.
@ILuvGuyzWhoCanSing1 Vibrato can be controlled. If she sang this song without vibrato, it being a solo and a soprano solo at that, it would be extremely boring. Not to mention..she's sustaining high notes. Without vibrato she'd sound almost flat. If you heard this same song without vibrato, you'd prefer it with it. Ensembles don't use vibratos. Soloists do.
I don't like her interpretation or her voice. You don't have to agree with me. I just don't "believe" her. I'm not trying to be ass- Joanna is a very hard role to tackle. Sweeney Todd is EXTREMELY TOUGH acting and singing.
I definatly like this one much more than any of the other versions. The others are so wild and crazy and you don't get to appreciate the song, this one you can because she sings it so clearly and smoothly :)
I love this song because it imitates the song of birds, caged birds, as Johanna sings about, which is appropriate for her to sing since she herself is a caged bird that sings, staring at the rain, maddened by the stars...
What I like is that the voice is quite clear to understand. (I had a bit of trouble with Mrs Lovett) But I do wish the vibrato was toned down a bit... love the melody though. Stays with me...
@KylieZDM The meaning of not too much vibrato is that the voice is more innocent and angelic sounding. That's what my voice teacher told me atleast :D
Gothicblackrose I don't think she's in the phantom of the opera. (Trust me I would've known it). If she is though, let me know which character she plays because I didn't see her?
Anyways I love this movie and this is one of my favorite scenes from it.
i don't think she played meg, if that's who ur thinking of. meg is played by jennifer something. they do sort of sound/look alike tho, right? (if you are thinking of meg)
i really wish she would drop her jaw and send the tone forward...rather than letting it fall back in her throat.. it would fix a lot...i hear it every now and then...but its not consistent. Theres a beautiful voice in there...i know it.
*shudder* creepy as hell that turpin fancies her. as sexy as alan rickman may be, i'd be scared shitless having a 60-something year old prey on my age group.
I think her voice is more appropriate for the song because her voice is so gentle. The broadway operatic version is too strong for a character who is supposed to be meak and not so strong willed.
I think the reason why the broadway version is strong is because the singers have to sing to the people at the last row. With a movie, she has the advantage to sing more gently and softly without having to worry about the audience not hearing her.

The Broadway people aren't just singing loudly. They are singing properly. There is a way to be Gentle and loud. This girl cannot sing very good. She was a horrible choice for Johanna!
If you wanna see what I mean by singing loud and Gentle check out the revival cast of Sweeney Todd. The Johanna in that cast is FANTASTIC!
everyone messes up...but CDs are basically recorded live...except if they mess up they can redo it...but most, if not all, broadway performers can reproduce what they record...
I do however love how everyone acts like they know all about musical theatre, yet they have prolly only seen Sweeney Todd, Rent, Hairspray, and Wizard of Oz movies....lol
Well, I wouldn't really say she's a squeaky mouse, my friend told me she's a "perfect soprano". My music teacher sings like her, but I wouldn't really know your opinion and my opinion might be totally different ^^;;;
She sang this absolutely beautifully, she does have talent.
Now to those of you who say "it's too high", "less vibrato", are not getting the point of music as a whole. Every piece of music is open for intrepretation and even if you don't like the song nor the girl, you still have to give her credit for the voice she has.
I love this song, apparently I nail it quite well for a 13yr old who's never had singing lessons or anything. How do you work out if your like soprano/alto etc, what's the range for each? And what are the groups called? Random. Sweeney Todd- ftw <3
Yeah she does tie slightly too much, but the personification of the bird in her voice is perfect. It's a lovely version of this song, the vibrato is exceptionally well controlled and gives this song a lovely feel.
i just think the SONG is beautiful. the music just sounds so pretty. and she does sound sort of bad when she's singing so high. i think she would be better in the lower range. that's how it is with me!!!!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Man, she sucks. Her tone is pretty good, but what's up with that slow, almost half-step vibrato...it almost hurts to listen to. Also, that's a really lame attempt at a trill around 1:35...
her voice is very dainty and so is her appearance. its not exactly how Johanna is supposed to be portrayed. She should be more frivolous and silly, but I must admit she does have a better voice than the original movie Johanna. She has a good vibrata and vocal range, but I wish she'd put more umph into it. She captured the tone of the song magnificently.
I could understand believing Sarah Rice is better, but her voice is actually quite decent. She just happens to have an airy voice. That is most certainly not a bad thing. She could work on her breathing though.

i only like the songs with depp and that mrs. lovett girl init. they are gd... i dont like the others lol.. aka.. this one. i was quite upset when sweeney died tho =[
I think her voice fits her character perfectly, because isn't she supposed to have the "singing bird" quality? It is what the song is about. also she plays Johanna, who is supposed to be meek and really it would not fit to have her sing richly in this case. Not the best vocal performance I've ever seen, but remember this is the movie, not a recital.
Well, she certainly isn't horrible, but she certainly isn't great. She has a very small, "pinched-sounding" voice. Nothing full or rich about it. I know this girl is just a kid (What is she, 17?), but I have heard many girls younger than she is sound much better. Of course, they couldn't really pick the best singers for this movie, because they couldn't let the supporting cast be better singers than Johnny and Helena. Which would not be hard to do.
i wish she wouldn't vibrato so much... but other than that, her voice is brilliant for her age!! for some reason, i just LOVE listening to this song!
so beautiful! This is one of my favorite songs from the musical. Too bad this is the only song she sings in the movie. Her voice is so good for her age!
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!And I really like this song and Johanna. She is so beautiful, also she is a wonderful singer, but Mrs.Lovett, is my very favorite. Johanna is my second one! :)
oh my god something about this song just does something to me... dont know why. it may have to do with her voice or something but i realllly wish i could sing this for my vocal exams. not allowed to do musical theatre though (sniff..) but i like how this sounds when i sing it. thanks for uploading!!!
her voice is amazing for the style she sings. Its very clear and prominent which is excellent for a sort of operatic voice. Personally its not my style but she does have soo much talent and deserves to be rewarded for this performance.
I saw this stage Johanna at my college--and her voice was so clear that I thought it was one of a kind. Then I saw the girl in the movie, and they're about the same. Which is good, because I loved the girl at my college.
I think this is good because i mean she isn't the most powerful singer but joanna is jsut suposed to be a 15 year old girl~ so you know a soft voice like hers really fits, I think~
They DID sing on set. But it wasnt used for the movie. They used RECORDINGS for the movie. But to get the feel on the scene, they had to sing on set instead of lip sync to the music.
You're an idiot. They recorded everything before they filmed the movie and while they filmed the movie they would sing but what they recorded in the studio would go over what they sang while they filmed.
Oh my god! Do you really think they sing while they're filming? If you don't belive me search for "Johnny Depp singing in Sweeney Todd" or something and you'll se that they record it just like they record other kinds of songs.
Actually if you watch the special features they had to lip sing on set, but sing in the studio. Sometimes they sang behind the record because it would make it look like they are actually singing which it kinda is. ;D
I love her rendition, just wish she could have hit on top of those high notes a little better rather than reach so hard for them. From the sound of her voice, she could definitely have gotten them with more practice ahead of time... I understand that for the movie, they were trying to deviate from the big broadway sound, but... eh. From experience, it is a difficult song to sing though, I'll give her that.

the broadway version of this play was amazazazazing.
BUT for this particular song, i think the girl in the broadway's voice had wayyy to much powerhouse vibrato. I think this Johanna was cast perfectly.

A lot of people criicize her voice, but I think that it fits her perfectly. It sounds delicate and frail which matches Joanna's character.

I think her voice fits her character perfectly, because isn't she supposed to have the "singing bird" quality? It is what the song is about. also she plays Johanna, who is supposed to be meek and really it would not fit to have her sing richly in this case. Not the best vocal performance I've ever seen, but remember this is the movie, not a recital.

Well, she certainly isn't horrible, but she certainly isn't great. She has a very small, "pinched-sounding" voice. Nothing full or rich about it. I know this girl is just a kid (What is she, 17?), but I have heard many girls younger than she is sound much better. Of course, they couldn't really pick the best singers for this movie, because they couldn't let the supporting cast be better singers than Johnny and Helena. Which would not be hard to do.

She's not supposed to be pure and rich, at all. I prefer the stage show, but for Johanna, this was much better.

her voice is amazing for the style she sings. Its very clear and prominent which is excellent for a sort of operatic voice. Personally its not my style but she does have soo much talent and deserves to be rewarded for this performance.

I saw this stage Johanna at my college--and her voice was so clear that I thought it was one of a kind. Then I saw the girl in the movie, and they're about the same. Which is good, because I loved the girl at my college.

I think this is good because i mean she isn't the most powerful singer but joanna is jsut suposed to be a 15 year old girl~ so you know a soft voice like hers really fits, I think~

I'll settle this.
They DID sing on set. But it wasnt used for the movie. They used RECORDINGS for the movie. But to get the feel on the scene, they had to sing on set instead of lip sync to the music.

You're an idiot. They recorded everything before they filmed the movie and while they filmed the movie they would sing but what they recorded in the studio would go over what they sang while they filmed.

How would u no that? maybe we are ALL wrong or maybe we are ALL right
QUEENprincessDIVA 3 years ago
Oh my god! Do you really think they sing while they're filming? If you don't belive me search for "Johnny Depp singing in Sweeney Todd" or something and you'll se that they record it just like they record other kinds of songs.

um. the dvd has a behind the scenes and they actually say that they sang on set. so there. settled?
renneetheseme 3 years ago
sure, they sing some, but moestly it's in a studio.
Kometuzz 3 years ago
Actually if you watch the special features they had to lip sing on set, but sing in the studio. Sometimes they sang behind the record because it would make it look like they are actually singing which it kinda is. ;D
