Eden Espinosa as Ariel

[scream261]

Better than the girl on Broadway!

[jonathanclitalien]

They should have just stuck this on Broadway... It would have done much better.

[nipsandskittles]

aaaaaahw!! Eden is so cute at @0:39-0:43 ! also loved the little yawn at 2:39-2:45

[liahmusiclover4]

it's snowing under the sea!

[natnatbrady]

:O i always thought Sierra Boggess was the best Ariel but Eden is amazing!!!!

[vangeles]

@natnatbrady Sierra is reallly pretty and does a great job too. Thanks for your comments

[liteupthestage]

Hi stage crew!

[surfergirl86]

@mickeymiles. Yes... I know.... Read further before and you will see that I was clearly defending live talent at Disney.... I'm very much aware that they sing....

[blovesmusicals]

Yupp. That's Eden <3

That tail is so annoying!

[JaqueChance]

always cracks me up. i only see elphie with red hair.

[fanofpets]

Of course it is her don't you reconize her voice and her face?

[antongarcia101]

I liked her better in wicked :/

[Bremen25]

That tail looks like a bitch to wear.

[heyheymister]

OMG!!!! I THINK I SAW HER HERE WHEN I WAS LIKE 2!!!!!!! SOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!

[MeCaEllaM]

What show is this? And which disneyland?

[vangeles]

@MeCaEllaM the show was called Animazement at the original Disneyland in California. She worked there before she went on to Broadway and Wicked.

[dramababe3474]

When she smiled, I knew it was truly her:)

[chelseamichelle95]

Is this eden singing and if so where can I find the audio of her singing this song?

[vangeles]

@chelseamichelle95 yes its Eden, the only think you can do about the audio is use one of those programs that converts youtube videos to audio mp3s. She never recorded this song professionally

[fearlessxo5]

loved it. its perfection!

[jaspar38]

Seriously, she even looks good being pushed around on a rock. She was a diva even back then. :)

[BalletBecca]

Eden is so nice!

[NYCprincess7]

uh sorry guys,this is Ariel not "Eden".

[wickedlyawesomemuch]

@NYCprincess7 then why does she have a microphone?

[NYCprincess7]

@wickedlyawesomemuch So that all her friends visiting the park can hear her beautiful voice!!! :)

[DramaBabe18]

@NYCprincess7 Its Eden.

[NYCprincess7]

@DramaBabe18 No it's really not it's Ariel but I can't make you belive so sure whatever it's "Eden."

[DramaBabe18]

@NYCprincess7 Im not sure if you are saying that the singing is ariel or the character is Ariel. Cause I can Obviously see that she's playing As Ariel.

[Puddles98216]

how does she walk in that thing?

[disneydanny2]

iif it is her singing i'm quite surprised as typically Disney hires based on llooks rather than one's ability to sing

[elphabasfriend001]

@disneydanny2 Quite right. Most character auditions, for face characters are done based on looks, and movement ability. Singing auditions are different, but, once being an established cast member, w/ her vocal abilities being known, she very well could have become one of Disney's few singing characters.

[mbryan89]

since there's not a live band, I'd venture to say it's not live. If they were going to the trouble of recording a live orchestra, I'd say they would have the singers there too. It does sound like Eden, though.

[disneydanny2]

@mbryan89 yeah i was thinking the same thing when i posted my earlier comment but i indadvertintly entered thew comment before saying that.

[Nylrac13]

HOLY CRUD!! From a Disney princess to a wicked witch! Haha, she is amazing!! I feel so blessed to have gotten to see her in Wicked in San Francisco! I LOVE HER!!

[WickedlyAwsome]

Yep! I can tell that's her alright! Her face when she smiles and then her vibratto. And the way she pronounces some of the words like "deal." Love her! So glad she's doing musicals now!

[Kezzashizza]

she sounds just like jodie benson, but i suppose she was meant to

[TheBroadwaywannabe]

Wow, Eden sounds REALLY beautiful here!

[cierradiaz]

I think she sounds way better in this than she ever did during Wicked. I actually enjoyed this a lot! And I love the costume and wig!

[ngd12345]

um listen to the original voices of the disney princesses outside their characters, most of them are middle aged, it's called a character voice stop comparing them to the fat nobodies in your school production who don't know the difference between a belt and legit

[merprince]

Yes, kimt1987. I was in this show. She's singing live.

[omglolwhatever]

Stephanie J. Block was Belle and Ariel too. Wicked changed Eden's voice a lot, it's a lot less bright and more nasal now.

[surfergirl86]

I have a friend who does disney shows and she sings every single one of them live. Thats all i'll say. :)

[Broadway1day]

omg this is Animazement!  this is one of the best stage shows disney has ever had and they need to bring it back

[gluedhand]

I think Eden has a thing for green....hence her tail and Elfie.........gotta love her!

[musikboi16]

She's lip-synching in this. Not that I have anything against her but it's a well known fact that all the Disney theme park shows have pre-recorded vocals, including this one. And no, it's not her voice on the recording...

[surfergirl86]

@musikboi16 Thats definitely her. Not all the disney shows are pre-recorded....

[musikboi16]

@surfergirl86 That's definitely NOT her AT ALL. If you watch good enough you can see her miss a few words, along with all the other people in the show. This show is COMPLETELY pre-recorded. If that's not clear to you just from watching this then sorry.

[surfergirl86]

@musikboi16 I just don't know what to tell you, there. haha. You're just gonna have to take my word for it- I can personally guarantee you that its her singing, and that a vast majority of the productions done at disney are done with live vocalists. :) Eden is also quite a famous Broadway performer, and it is most definitely her voice.

[musikboi16]

@surfergirl86 Yea,I dnt know what to tell you either.I know exactly who Eden is, lol,been following her LONG before most people have, before Wicked, definitely before RENT, on of the few fans of the Brooklyn score which was written to showcase her voice so yea I dont need you to tell me her history. We will just have to agree to disagree because....well its not her. If it was her Id have no problem admitting it, and Im sure she'd do a fine job, but this is prerecorded. Like the Disney shows are.

[omglolwhatever]

@musikboi16 Eden said it's her on her twitter...

[bwaygammagurl]

@musikboi16 I don't know why it being her and being pre-recorded are mutually exclusive. What if she is the one who's singing voice is on the pre-recorded track? This is in NO WAY an accusation or statement of fact, I'm just simply trying to offer a different approach.

[AmbyLeigh]

@musikboi16 Disney Park shows are not ALL pre-recorded. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Like the castle stage show is all pre-recorded BUT Belle and Gaston in the Beauty and the Beast live on stage are live singers. Ariel in Voyage of the Little Mermaid is 100% live every show. Rule of thumb, it they are wearing a mic, they ARE live. They will not put on a fact mic if they don't have to. THIS I know. I have friends that work in this kinds of shows at Disney World.

[mickeymiles]

@surfergirl86 Disney Parks don't pre record "live singers" If she's wearing a mic, then she's singing.

[murdlok]

Is this show near toontown in Disneyland? i think i saw it in one of my Disneyland trips. btw thats a very beautiful Ariel- =)

[dsebgbrennan]

if that is Eden i dont see her as an "Ariel" I like her more when she has an extremly epic voice as Elphaba in Wicked thats what i think.....

[Rikkuu10]

sounds great... and I really love Ariel

but it's better when she screams as Elphaba :-)

[undertakerxkristaker]

shes better as pocahontas instead of ariel. like BIG TIME

[meghanmuffin96]

i would've lost my shit if eden espinosa was ariel while i was at disneyland.

[SweetLittleSong]

love this i wish i could buy her version of this song!!!

[mkmwrite]

she is so adorable <3 i love eden!

[minnesotawicked]

OMG!! CUUUUTE!

[charmed1823]

1998 I believe...

[kimt1987]

Is that really her singing?

[vangeles]

@kimt1987 I'm sure it is. 

[Lizco77]

@kimt1987 it doesnt sound like her to me... so i dunno

[MamaMaryEllensBlog]

@kimt1987 thats DEFINAtlY eden's voice! She was jsut younger so her voice has changed and matured.. and at disneyland they want the singers to sound cartoonish... so they modify thier voice to make it more cild like

[woflves4eva]

@kimt1987 yes i went to this show^^ AMAZING

[daveboi]

My God! She sounds just like Ariel. Her voice is so powerful, so sweet, so versatile. I wish I could hear her sing this again! :)

[d0ggylover21]

why must eden be so amazing? ;)

she's so cutee herreee <3

[nunchakugirl]

Eden's voice is quite different here~

I'm used to hearing it really mellow and low. But it still sounds beautiful ;A;

[gracejenkins]

@nunchakugirl it's amazing what great singers can do with their voices ;)

[peguin100]

@nunchakugirl

I agree because on Wicked, she's fierce and strong but here it's peaceful and soft. Beautiful either way.

At first, I didn't think it was her and then she did a note that made me think "Yep, that's her. That's our Eden." :)

[GreenGoldenGirl]

eden's voice is just beautiful....

[phantomlover1000]

i love eden but..... is  she lip singing it kinda look's like she is sorry but still love her

[BroadwayFanJared]

that is definately her voice

[dfrost64]

Eden is fantastic as always! When will someone post some Spiderman Rocks?

[xjaykay]

Eden is so versatile. Such a talented being!!! :]

[CresseliaandShaymin]

Eden has the cutest Ariel giggle, and her singing rendition is stupendous!!!!!! XD

[Kelaiah01]

Wow, its so weird seeing Eden be all sweet and perky and... "Glinda-ish". XD Now I want to see her parody Glinda. lol She's so awesome. :D

[smallcutie101]

awesome!! I love eden and she's so cute here! when was this?

[vangeles]

@smallcutie101 im not sure, maybe sometime between 1999-2001

[smallcutie101]

@vangeles okay thanks!

[TheNucleolus]

@vangeles if it was during this time it means I saw her when I went to disneyland!

[ladydemando]

@vangeles it was in 1998

[tdonset08]

@smallcutie101 This was in 2003
