Eden Espinosa - Once Upon A Time, Brooklyn

[Trebleguy123]

Such a beautiful voice in addition to a BOMB belt!

[xXPrydaXx]

My 8th Grade Chamber Chorus Sang This Song As The Finale

[Ahuey88]

What's with the dress? Its a disaster.

[wppacconservatory]

@Ahuey88 Look up the show. You'll understand.

[Trebleguy123]

@Ahuey88 It's supposed to be, she's poor haha

[zoerphl]

so elphaba at the end there

[neosoulfuljojo]

I remember seeing this on Broadway so many years ago and I forgot when, but I love her!!!!! Thank you for posting this!

[ale96000]

Beastin.



[TheShazka]

WOW! I am afraid that is all I can say!! WOW AND PHENOMENAL!!!

[luvpug269]

how the hell did she doo all tht?!

[daniashley11]

I love Diana's version of this song, but this is just flat out phenomenal!!!!

[InhopesofJuliard]

Why is she so amazing?

[BrandonTJones69]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHH

[SavvyDowning]

HOW.

[Broadway3]

this is so amazing, is this a recording of the actual show or a concert?

[mattfitzz]

That ending reminds me of Defying Gravity so much!

[thesonski93]

i got here by typing in "Unpopular Musicals" WTF? She's amazing!

[MattManOhYeah]

@thesonski93 yeah Eden's vocals were amazing but unfortunatly the people werent fond of it for some reason unknown to me.

[blakemarshall14]

if it wasnt nearly illegal for me to marry her, i would do it instantly so she could sing me to sleep and our kids would be powerhouses because of her...shes the best and totally underestimated and deserves complete fame.

[papposwing14]

G#5 and a sustained F#5 amazing!!

[SavvyDowning]

I love Eden.

[AlphaSagittari]

she is amazing . her voice is too much!!!

[iamclery]

This woman and the guys behind her have given me chills. And I thought Eden couldn't impress me any further than she already had with her Wicked performances. I was wrong.

[izzehyo]

XD I got to meet her!

her parents were my teachers!

<3

[narusakufan202]

@izzehyo are you serious?!? that's awesome :D she told me hello on twitter i almost passed out lol

[PracticallyMagic89]

You can listen to this a million times, and its still incredible....feeling the love for Eden! :)

[misstears002]

I have a girl crush on her !!

[phantomss]

She never ceases to amaze me. Incredible voice

[broadwayjackie13]

i saw this on b'way a while back....all i can say is ohh my goodness. goosebumps all over.

[SexyHogwarts]

WOW!! SHE"S AMAZING!!!!

[broadwaybound97]

Why are people comparing her to Lea Michelle? There is no comparison...at all Eden is amazing.that's that

[rainbowjo1]

@broadwaybound97 Eden is awesome. No denying that, I don't think we should compare the two, but I sure hope you aren't discounting Lea Michelle, shes phenomenal as well, truly a musical prodigy.

[broadwaybound97]

This puts Defying Gravity to shame don't get me wrong I still love that song...but wow!!! I'm still in awe

[rory89]

OMG that F sharp mix belt what ever it was fukin unreal!!! :D love it!!!

[moonbeams90]

Why does everyone compare Eden to Idina and vice versa?!?! They are BOTH so amazing in their own right

[shoshbekman]

@Gleek592 n glee lea michele is 16 years old... dream on first season

[elphbwckd]

@shoshbekman lea michele is not 16...

[shoshbekman]

@elphbwckd ................. rachel berry is supossed to be 16 years old... lea michele plays the role of a 16 girl in glee...

[shoshbekman]

@elphbwckd RACHEL BERRY ISSS

[rynoissophat]

DID YOU HEAR THE ENDING NOT! A ALL THE WAY!!

[UzUmAkIAyAmE]

@Gleek592 Yes, I know, but Rachel is 16, and they said she couldn't be more than 10 years older than the character, not the actress.

[MrBarsty]

This is FIERCE

[yriaswife]

what the hell is she wearing???

Love her version of this song either way!!!

[btoolie]

@yriaswife This show is about how this girl...wants to find her father...her dream is to perform at Carnegie Hall. So the people who live on the street with her create her dream and her "stage" That's what she's wearing.

[yriaswife]

@btoolie

Thanks :) sound good :)

[elphaba08457332233]

damn that girl can sing! :)

[1920jenny]

I love her so so so much, but I hate her for having one of the best belt voices ever.

[coreyhome]

Love this song more than anything else and Eden sings it amazingly. But then again she should - after all, the show was written for her

[lisamj]

her voice is beyond the moon......that voice gives me chills...no one like her....she is incredible.

[enchantingerica]

singing this song with our choir soon...i can't even belt half those notes and i will PAY someone in my choir if they can successfully belt/hit that last note lol. but i sure wish i could, cuz this is my kinda music and i really like this song, i just dont exactly have the diaphram for it.. right now

[hahahahaha59]

@enchantingerica I can sing it. I'm 18.

[nicoleparker3wicked]

Why is she in a different costume than the other videos on here of this song?

[newwickedtrader77]

Wasnt this the show that like ruined her voice?! (i could be wrong but thats just what I heard)

[dancewitmeox]

this is amazing! 

[honeebun]

sooooooo honored to see her live and get her autograph - she was just as amazing when I saw her...we gave her a standing O after this song OF COURSE!! :)

[KelseyTVS]

Eden is amazing. I like her hair shorter though, lol

[lilyrox]

she is a goddess. that is all.

[joeytheactorabrego]

she looks like jenifer lopez a little

[LizSmiles1]

She's so beautiful and talented! Love you Eden!

[2wierd2b4got10]

can anyone tell me what eden does on the word "possible" on 2:16? or rather, on the "po" in "possible"? what's that noise called?

i'd REALLY like to know :P

[FireGirlG]

@2wierd2b4got10 I think you can just call that a growl. That's how my instructor has always referred to it. There is a technique to it, but I don't think it has a technical term.

[Aarondefyinggravity]

@2wierd2b4got10 its called a growl or a rumble onset if you go with donna sotto morretini, but yeah generally a growl xx

[robroynyc80]

Eden is two years older than Lea. I thinks that's a retarded idea.

[BWombat12]

@robroynyc80 lea's 23 and eden's 32?

[meghanmuffin96]

@BWombat12 that explains why she gave her away O.O

yeahh, 9 year old mom no big deal.

[treeofhart]

@robroynyc80 Eden is 6 years older than Lea, and considering Lea's playing a character 5 years younger than her self, along with Cory (Finn) who is actually almost 30, I don't think anyone's biological age has much to do with casting.

[nothingspecial245]

Eden owns in all her roles. No doubt about that :D

[ssnape]

ohhhh myyy! I lovee it!!!!!!! She's more than amazing!!!!

[Hezterixx]

beautifully handeled all the way through perfect at the end for vocal control on the final note brilliant technique, I LOVE THIS GAL!!! :DDD

[mileykylie09]

i love this song its so purty were doing it in a broadway dance singing mix tipe thig

[sandleaf1]

I'm gonna make up a word, because no existing word can describe Eden...

INCREDILOCIOUS.

Seems like something Glinda would say.

Anyway, Eden is my second favorite Elphaba, and she is SO nice!

[gabicool1234]

im not such a big espinosa fan but she sings this beautifully

[samerz816]

Does anyone know the context of this song in the show BKLYN?

[GirlCalledMike]

what is that end note?

[Noorske]

If you think this is great, then you haven't heared Pia Douwes sing it...

[LaMaledizione]

@Noorske Are u kidding me? Pia is great, but she clearly doesnt have the ability to push the belt-mix up that high. Her larnxys jumps up and the voice cracks at the end although she doesnt even hit the last Ab. Listen to it on youtube.

[purpleronnie987]

she's amazing. how the hell does she get that high note at the end? :)

[ale96000]

2:21. that's it.

[Merina2222]

OMigosh she is the best. Best. Best. Ever.

Best elphaba as well :D

[knoxhottie20]

you can not beat eden

[lhurrleherrick]

I called this "the little show that could!" This tiny cast was some of the most talented people I have ever seen on the same stage at the same time! I saw it 6 times and was for closing night. This was one of my favorite "Broadway" moments. Kudos to this cast, it's writers, and producers!

[bsabino]

amazing show - saw it on bway - too bad critics bashed it

[tillyboos]

AMAYZHING!!!!!! I LOVE EDEN!

[iXbreatheXmusik]

haha wow she blows idina out of the water

[lcmason]

Eden is a beast! Love. Her.

[jerrettfranklin]

I actually think that Diana did a better job but this is a beautiful version too. Im just a diana fan

[MamaMaryEllensBlog]

@jerrettfranklin I really must say that this particular recording of her is not the best showing of her Sky blowing talent! this was actually pretty early on in the creation of the show and she hadnt worked into the character yet... the recording I have of the show pre and post broadway were both AMAZING and she belts LIKE NO GIRL I KNOW!! hahah

[singingjosh]

Can someone please let me no why this is different costumes to the others :) xx

[MamaMaryEllensBlog]

@singingjosh cause this was pre-broadway in Colorado before they worked out the kinks of the show.. before they knew it was going to Broadway actually ...

[jadeflowersforever]

I think you always tend to favor te version you heard first............... Maybe thats why you like diana degarmo better................

[LivingInArt]

amazing :|

[GreenGoldenGirl]

eden's beautiful--she's a beautiful singer, she looks beautiful, and she just a beautiful person! i love her.:P

[KevKnows]

Yes, but I like Eden's voice much better. But, hey, even if they got Lea to sing THIS song, I'd be thrilled.

[1990emmie]

And THAT'S how it's done. Stunning <3

[KevKnows]

Who's for Eden being Lea Michele's birthmother on Glee?! Epic duet possibility!

[rainbowjo1]

I think Idina looks the part more.

[GreenGoldenGirl]

that'd be so coool!

[aztap130]

@KevKnows genius!

[CSPMallorca]

@KevKnows already being done by Idina...

[cmh281288]

@KevKnows wrong elphaba.

[lilyrox]

@KevKnows whoops... taken over by idina haha not a bad replacement tho

[ilovehs]

@KevKnows ummm idina. HELLO?!

[wickedelphabafreeek]

@KevKnows hahaha it's funny that you say that because Idina was Lea's birthmother!

[littleladyfangz]

@KevKnows Lmao...or Idina.. :P

[Ryanlaskey]

@KevKnows looks like Idina beat her to the punch...again

[WickedxWitchx1313]

@KevKnows I think Idina looks more like Lea but Eden has a range much closer to Lea's. I still loved Idina as her mom but Eden would have been fantastic too.

[bootybootybuttcheekz]

@KevKnows she's a little young, no? she can't be more than 10 years older than rachel's character.

[UzUmAkIAyAmE]

@bootybootybuttcheekz Actually, Eden's 32.

[dancelord98]

@KevKnows

It's funny how Idina was Isn't it??

[narusakufan202]

@KevKnows Idina beat her to it lol i think she should come on as Rachel's aunt on her mothers side, yeah she should totally play shelby's little sister :D

[kittykelly007]

i like diana digarmo's better..

[NYConnor]

is that because you know who Diana DeGarmo is?

- No offense-

[actoutloud95]

she doesnt really have as large a range as eden has.....

[megs102290]

she's so amazing.

[RavenPallas]

She looks even more adorable in BKLYN than green, lol. =)

[vicenteps]

argh!!! It's disgusting how good she is!

[lobitoaxel]

Now, that's a singer!

[girux2]

what a set of pipes!!!

[Tennisnimrod]

Eden looks so different without bangs!

[Morikins]

That was gorgeous. :o

Never seen or heard of the musical, but I'm going to have to look it up now.

Absolutely wonderful.

[kleinesKind89]

WOW!! This was just amazing!!!

@chchrj: as far as I know, yes, she's a mezzo soprano.

[chchrj]

She's a mezzo right?

[chchrj]

Not for her, she's amaizing!

[katiecutie05]

that last note sounds like it hurts! =/

[SuperCJenkins]

WOW!!! Thats all i'm saying! :)

[NYConnor]

I knew Eden was wonderful but I had no idea she could do THAT!... I'm in love

[dansirchick1]

i know eden... my auntie's bff she is so fricken amazing... she is so funny and fun to be with. I love her

[NYCroxmysocks]

no, her range goes welll over that, ther is noo constriction on that

[jesswantstobewicked]

woah. vocal constriction on that last note. ouch.

[willsing4lychee]

what is this recording from?

shes obviously fabulous... needless to say.

[ScottAuc]

When I saw this live. There was a 5 min standing o for eden after this song and i was in tears.

[HolAnnFi]

I have only just found this vid and heard of Eden Espinosa but i love her voice and she is an amazing performer would love to see her live i bet it would be amazing if this vid is anything to go by...i wish i could perform like this

[kaitibobaitiii]

she's so incredible ! i wonder what it's like to wake up and be able to belt that amazingly that perfectly without sounding like you're straining at all. jeealoussss :)

[lexiegirl5000]

her voice sends chills down down my spine :)

[ajthemarius]

ummm.......?

[positivelyemerald101]

i think you should know who Indina Menzel is before you say that. I have heard of an Idina Menzel though :p

[JmB8207]

The end pose she strikes is so Elphaba! (:

[magustin87]

perfect

[ChristopherYOLO]

this is atrcious....she is screaming.....not good quality at all

[JonathanMiller]

OMG Wow!. She is Amazing!

[NYCroxmysocks]

is this at carnagie hall or is this in teh show?

[bwjd]

Ya I saw Eden at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles. It was my first time seeing Wicked and I had no idea who she was. I found out she was a big name when she was in the last performance of Rent. Now I can say- I WAS THREE ROWS AWAY FROM HER!

[PyroDefysGravity]

I love her voice, but for me what truly makes it amazing is knowing what little training she had. That's natural talent right there.

[mrcolon5]

Eden is a classically trained soprano

[tripleabatteries3]

amazing.

[broadwaymike92]

I've saw Eden's last show in WICKED as Idina's Standby before she left to star in Brooklyn. I then saw Brooklyn during Kids Night on Broadway, and then last summer I saw her in Bryant Park while she was in RENT.

[ilovemusicaltheatre3]

LUCKYYYYY!

[STUPIDxxSITE]

I'm envious.

[MissLeannxx]

Oh hai, Karen Olivo :]

I love Eden xD

[ilovemusicaltheatre3]

she actually has one of the best voices i have ever heard!

seriously seriously seriously sick belt!!

[JoshEdgeee]

This is so amazing!

[disengagedXdreams]

This show was amazing...she was amazing...I was disappointed in how short it was though...I could have listened to her sing for hours.

[eventsid]

oh...my....WOW!!!

[PARTYofONE23]

<3

love this.

[dhuitt94]

I was lucky enough to actually meet her in person a couple of weeks ago. She was a really nice, down-to-earth person. haha my friend said she has a really nice nose. lol

[TheWickedPoppins]

She's so incredible ! I <3 her !

[BellatrixBlack123]

eden has a greeaatt voice <3

[BroadwayBoy1001]

I was lucky enough to see this during it's brief run and this video does not begin to touch on how amazing the show AND EDEN were!!! They need to revive this show soon!

[chicadeny116]

Amen to that!! I got to see it twice. It was a really great show with great music. I love Eden, she is amazing!!! I got to see her in Rent as Maureen before it closed too :)

[borntosingyeah]

I LOVE HER!!!

[Raygunn24]

WORK!!!! Eden is ...well....Eden...nuff said!

[ghostsshAdow234]

she's hot

[TheZarboFilmz]

She sounds a tad like Celine Dion

[YaelTheDelirious]

That last "more right" sounded exactly like that final "aaaaahhh!" from Wicked.

[JoRegan3]

oh my lord i want to be her
