Jennifer Saunders as the Fairy Godmother

[lacroixsweetie1]

she is a LEGEND!

[Midori165]

What can she NOT do? I mean seriously! She can write, act, AND sing?!

[timothyln12]

She is brilliant! Ab fab and shrek

[zomgpunkins1]

My kids said, "Mommy, why is that lady lip-syncing to the Fairy Godmother?"  lol. "The lady mouths the words that the Fairy Godmother sings sooo well!!" Ha, ha. But, yeah, I agree. "Absolutely Fabulous" casting for the role of the Fairy Godmother -- Just superb vocal acting and singing. Awesome!!

[loulie1997]

it's crazy how much she looks like fairy godmother!! She was soooo perfect for this role!!!

[sheerazdeen]

she's awesome!

[mojododo85]

I love how the animators have actually captured some of Jennifer Saunders facial expressions in the fairy godmother characters! :D

[corinne54]

I ADORE HER!



[theenigmaticdrscully]

Best casting decision ever!!!!

[BonesCastleWhoDance]

I need a hero. More like I need Jennifer Saunders!

[infidel94]

stop the video at 0:42 anything familiar on the floor design? yes my friends the zionists control Disney and many other major mind controlling industries.

[lola01ization]

shes pretty

[jesemzcap]

WICKED. I NEED A HERO X

[Ypipable]

Well I warned you...

[yankey1]

couldnt think of any1 betta

[philbyification]

@yankey1 Ditto.

[Mr1991ladarius]

I am a big, big, big, big, big, big Fan of Jennifer Saunders because her strong sense of humor as a Writer, her crazy portrayal as Edina (Eddy) on Ab Fab, and her crazy antics with her Comedy Partner Dawn French is what made her such a kick ass British Comedienne and Writer.

[whitetoke]

was that a kiwi accent "ebb febb"?

[meshel2u]

thats why she won the people choice award

[1ninocka4]

she is great .... as always

[hyrocoaster]

Hm. I must admit that her voice suits the "speaking" Fairy Godmother. But I still don't like her singing parts. There she sounds... hm. Too young and I don't like the significant tone in her voice. Actually I like the german (Angelika Milster) and turkish (don't know^^) Fairy Godmothers most. Holding out for a hero by Angelika Milster is soo great, but I think if you like Saunders, at first you have to get used to her voice:

Greetings!

[PhsycedelicPhish]

@hyrocoaster how can you not like her voice. IT'S AMAZING.

[hyrocoaster]

@PhsycedelicPhish

Did you listen to the turkish and the german version?

[DianaEnglandsRose]

more please

[TheEllieChicken]

if i was jen, i'd just be laughing at myself 24/7....how does she not find herself hilarious! love her

[valhalla678]

00:25 who knew that the fairy godmother was a juggalo? hahahaha

[justafidemyself]

You see , this is why i LOVE the second shrek the best, Fairy Godmother is the BEST villain out of all the four movies, plus the second one had REALY good music in it, don't get me wrong, the fourth shrek was also good, but it just couldn't top the second one, and i missed Gingy & Pinokkio alot in the fourth one..they almost became just cameo's instead of characters.. SHREK 2 FOREVER HELL YEAH =D

[fenrriho]

So I was watching Shrek 2 again and came to realize that the Fairy Godmother looks a lot to some politician from the States.....Sarah!!!!! ROFL

What an evil creature!!!!

[litlemissflirt]

good lord in heaven is there no limit to this woman's talent? I just bought the whole series of ab fab on dvd. I absolutely love her (and all the ab fab cast). She's just so refreshing. Heard they're talking bout doing another series!

[andipoetic]

"you remember my son, Prince Charming?"

*cue threatening eyebrow*

[blackandgold978]

Damn, she's BEAUTIFUL....

[xNinaSmilz]

She's SO BRITISH!!!!!!!

[valeerioo45]

wonderful !!!!!!!

[Ms14787]

''you remember my son, Prince Charming?'' *arches eyebrow* I love how she got into character, and how you can seeher in all of the godmother's gestures and everything. She is not just Absolutely Fabulous, but Absolutely Brilliant!:))) <3<3<3 Jen <3<3<3

[Brett0717]

All the guys that were interviewed seemed to have little crushes on Ms Jennifer!  Way to own the room Jen!

[sunshine803756]

all i can say is. wow. she doesnt need a hero.

[MateoJFR]

Holly f*** balls, I don't know why I never recognized Jen as the voice for fairy god mother. I've always thought, "she sounds familiar!"

[WindySmileCallsMe]

That guy with the long hair at 1:03 has a kiwi accent O.o

[123jsbach]

Just read Jennifer has been battling breast-cancer, and has been given the all clear. What a trooper. On yourself Jennifer! You are a hero!!!!!!!!! X

[rossgardiner]

@123jsbach Yeah! I'm so happy Jennifer beat it! It's too soon to loose a talent as great as her! :)

[KidsWithGuns1992]

She has a great voice, suits this role very well. Funny how I didn't even vaguely recognize her voice in this movie before I become more of a fan of hers.

[CookiesAndCream19]

her voice so suits the role

[Zerjio]

she's both gorgeous and extremely talented... my dick shrinks watching this video... but only in intimidation and utter respect.

[kara71583]

love her!

[LiveLoveHaha]

Jennifer looks like Prince Charming, eh?

[KidsWithGuns1992]

@LiveLoveHaha Although I am a fan of hers and I don't mean it in a derogatory sense, I must agree. Bahaha, the flowing gold locks.

[JamieTennisVideos]

she's so classic have always loved her ever since i was a kid

[Erik8896]

She did the best voice for a fairy godmother

[BenLaeli]

She has such an amazing voice.

[MissMysterics]

Why do they always reffer to 'holding out for a hero' as 'The Bonnie tyler song' ? O_O

[Kathhhh123]

WOW... Amazingly talented. I swear she can do almost anything.

[PeanutButterJelly500]

She was BORN to do this role!

[gloomyoutlook]

She's barely aged in 25 years

[PrincessBaby82]

SHE still looks smoking hot!

[creeper49]

shes pretty and i love her voice

[KimberlyAnnPossible4]

When she not on the voice thing she sounds so much like the fairy god mother!

[xXxmissemmaxXx]

wow i wondered why i found the fairy god-mother so funny. its jennifer saunders. i never knew.

what a incrediable talent. and she can sing?!

[babeecznik]

at 0:5 did she said "what on grimss name youre doing here"?

[cannibalmonkey13]

grimm's, it was an allusion to the grimms brothers

[Kidalanna]

She's so fantastic! ^^

I absolutely LOVE her voice, and her hair. :3

[jcgalad]

She is terrific!

[xenassidekick1216]

the eyebrow thing is great! so funny!

[xenassidekick1216]

she can sing amazingly well! Go Jennifer! love her to death!

[RizenZ011]

Man i love that song!!!

[xenassidekick1216]

so do i!!! i have it on my zune!

[RizenZ011]

Hey can u by n.e chance email me the song?

[xenassidekick1216]

you can get it off of itunes!

[RizenZ011]

To get this certain song ill have to buy the whole album. That was my problem from the start. Can u plz???

[xenassidekick1216]

i got the original song by frou frou and not the one that jennifer does

[thijs674]

weardo

[stonemiddleton]

i used to date jennifer when i lived in london, she actually prefers horror movies over comedy !!

[mabeyta1]

Then you would be the fool that let her go. She's so Fine! And Adrian is the luckiest man in the world!!!!

[bluebird2140]

god she is brilliant.

[funkymonkeylovergirl]

random question..did they make the fairy godmother left-handed as a tribute to jen? someone told me that but i don't really know if it's true...it would be awsome though! :]

[CaptSwiggy]

It's most likely. Animators tends to watch the voice actors movements and facial expressions and put them to the character. Example... Watch Jennifer's eyebrows and then compare them to Fairy Godmother's. They almost match!

[HSxoxoHS]

they do they do!

i love the eyebrow things LOLOL

[KidsWithGuns1992]

@CaptSwiggy Yeah animated characters are often (not always) similar to their voice actors (in the way of expression/appearance/characte­ristics.) (Look at that Christmas animation Tom Hanks did - I cannot remember the name of it but you'll know what I mean if you know the movie.)

[kayllo15]

@KidsWithGuns1992 polar express??

[KidsWithGuns1992]

@kayllo15 Yes that's it.

[kayllo15]

@KidsWithGuns1992 yea tom hanks did look alot like the ppl he did in polar express. he even dressed up like the character while they were doin the voice over so he can "get into character" lol. but yea i kinda noticed how the fairy godmother and jennifer look alike

[catcc003]

Jennifer Saunders is a comic legend :)

She is so funny warm kind and down to earth.

She's brilliant as the fairy godmother especially when she sings "holding out for a hero" :]

[supernicole12]

she's great!

[cupcake101]

Jennifer is amazing as the Fairy Godmother!!!!

[bronte604]

Where can I see the rest of this interview?

[kaikiyukionna27]

It's on the DVD

[karbyly]

This lady knows how to rocks!!! Without an effort, she sing so easily... damn i´m jealous!!

[Crnagora12]

what is the name of the song that she is singing?

[samriv1]

i need a hero

[Javidovich]

Real name is "Holding out for a hero" by Bonnie Tyler! Original soundtrack of "footloose"

[scribblywibbly1]

hey when Fiona meets the Fairy Godmother in the song she sings to her she says "you can spoon on the moon" lol

[JammSchra7]

wow...jennifer saunders is amazing!!!

(she reminds me of my aunt<3)

[Wishmaster300]

She blew Bonnie Tyler away completely!

[kidvegeta15]

Jennifer (fairy godmother)- " mommy could handle this.. (she looks all calm and then looks all mean and says)HE ENDOURS BLISTERING WIND AND SCOUTCHING DESTERTS, etc" lol...she just makes me laugh everytime i see that part..especially when im high...yea shes funny !!

[Flakeway]

She could have at least feigned holding her nose and winked for the camera while she sang.

[swed90]

I LOVE JENNIFER SAUNDERS!!!!!!!!!

[zrosales22]

@swed90 me too!!! =) she's brilliant!

[yproof88]

you can find it on shrek 1 the ending i think :S

[filmjoyce]

"I Need A Hero" sung by Jennifer Saunders could get an award for most track made to a video on youtube. Everyday someone is uploading a vid to this song!!!

[PhantiKid]

god, i can't even find the one scene with the fairygodmother singing that hero song... anyone know where i can find it?

[leahcortina]

great! now i know im not the only one(rolls eyes) i found a lot of naruto vidoes with the song ripped of from the shrek movie and a lot of other vids but i cannot find the actual shrek scene!!!!!! ugh!,,,,

[MrsUnknown10]

I'll upload one for you if you want!

[leahcortina]

yes please!!! that will be great!!!!! XD

[MrsUnknown10]

ok tried to upload the film onto my computer and something went wrong, there was an error. So unfortunately I can't do that just now, but as soon as I can, I will! = )

[AQHlover]

Way. Here is two ways. Type on youtube I need a hero. shea..... or for the movie. It is more near to the end

[jerzyduke77]

I have already known that Jennifer Saunders is a great actress but never thought about her like a very good singer,hitherto.

She is outstandigly talented

[choaxstah]

I like her voice better than Bonnie Tyler's. She is so awesome!

xO

[sagesaria]

I like both versions a lot. But the movie's version gets extra points for a dramatic orchestra XD

[Charmredux]

I'm playing the fairy godmother, who is the star of the show. *breaks* I think..

Love her voice, and the song she sung for this movie is so catchy!

[7mr7random7]

Jennifer Saunders is awesome!

[paulwicks15]

Jennifer Saunders sounds absolutly amazing singing "i need a hero" she sounds better than the origanl.

you could not of asked for a better fairy godmother than the 1 and only Jennifer Saunders xXx

[Headbanger142]

Couldn't have asked for a more perfect voice actress for the Fairy Godmother than Adrian "Vyvyan" Edmonson's wife Jennifer Saunders.

[shrekfan92]

Jennifer Saunders is an amazing actress, isn't she?

Heck...What am I saying--THEY'RE ALL FANTASTIC!!!

[fsdfj89]

Lol, she's getting in the groove at 1:35. Does Jennifer use her own voice as the fairy godmother or just makes something up?

[IrishEyes1989]

She uses her real voice :) I mean, she alters it a bit at certain times in order to sound more evil or whatever because that's what the character calls for, but other than that, it's Jen's voice 100%. And isn't her singing just phenomenal?! I love her too much!! :D

[cannibalmonkey13]

omfg i didn't know SHE was the faerie godmother! i fucking loved her as Vivian Vyle!

[christentze]

jen is the best! :) such a talented, sexy, powerful woman.

[ashelyandred]

But i think her voice is not match to her,because she is look like so young but have a voice is a bit old

[1SoulDancer]

i love her voice

[PforPZ]

I knew Jennifer Saunders is a terrific actress, but never knew she can actually sing!!! Damn!!!

[trife8333]

i didnt realise wot a gr8 singer jen was

[swed90]

oh God I LOVE Jennifer soo much <3 She's the best in everything she does.

[pigcanfly007]

she is beautiful

[Emzie31]

i swear she looks a bit like the fairy godmother lol

[hairspraymegannn]

Loove it

[44tigers44]

Look at her Eyebrow at 1;14 =P

[UDKstalker]

LOL!!! xD

[orchids4444]

She ALWAYS does that with her eyebrow - I love it!!!

[HannahFoxx]

idd! me 2! There's another at 0:20..:D

[oneof4boyz]

great voice

[SamBradney]

Great Voice

Great Talent

Great British Actress

can i get a woo woo

[zowie0bowie15]

WOO WOO!

[drorzipori]

great voice & talent

[withaddedmental]

I love Jen, although I'd just like to point out that although she has an alright voice (listen to her parodies), she sounds great on Shrek because they've put her voice through an autotuner. But tbf, she's never claimed to be a singer.

[retardedbabydoll]

you cant really say she is a bad singer though because when she sings in parodies and ab fab etc it is supposed to be terible and therefore funny. im not saying she is a fantastic singer but she better than your average person.

[hummingbird87]

Shes has a gorgeous voice! I cant believe shes not a singer she could be a great singer if she wanted.

[dukemon12345]

i love her she is so good at singin

[Saruzu]

What about Dawn French?

[aliciaxb]

aagh i luv jen shes so great luv her (not in a gay way ) lol ..x

[nobuthorpe]

I love Jennifer's style...so sexy

[crazygreendaygroupie]

God, Jen is SO hot. Such a sexy voice. Love her x

[jadorejenniferjane]

The Fairy Godmother IS the star of the show lol. x)

Jen has a really sexy voice anyways and great singing voice aswell..

Heh heh heh 1:34 cute! :3

[nextceo2k2]

definitely my favorite character...the fairy godmother. it is the star of that film, indeed.

[diddymuck]

last part was lip sync! Ms Saunders is nothing less than brilliant.

[animesildier]

I want to hear the full version! Plz upload it! I love jennifer!

[vilotte]

She has got amazing skin.

[Barderella]

wow i didnt know she could sing like that! I'm so impressed hehe

[yeukelduck]

I love her singing in this, and in the Fairy Godmother Song too. Does anyone have that part of it?

[JMFabianoRPL]

Fairy Godmother was awesome. Jennifer IS awesome.

[ccheng21]

they should have added a cameo character for Dawn French, its not the same when they're not together!

[JMFabianoRPL]

I still say I would have been more interested in St3rd if they brought Fairy Godmother back from the dead, and gave her an apprentice voiced either by Dawn or by Joanna Lumley.

[animesildier]

who is joanna and why should she sing with jennifer?

[JMFabianoRPL]

Who's Joanna? Only Patsy Stone herself! (from Ab Fab)

[andrea500]

I totaly agree.

[Poptartfrog]

lol She's awesome. Where'd you get this clip by the way? On my dvd it cuts off before they ever talk about her singing that song.

[megisonline13]

Haha loving the lil dance.

And wow..she can sing. o_o

ASwell ¬¬

lol!

[MusicLover327]

I never knew Saunders could sing?! Was that really all her voice? wow she is amazing

[henrycrumm]

thats exactly what i was thinking!

hmmm

[CreepCrawler]

I know! But she did sing quite a bit in F&S and she does a Send in The Clowns in Mirrorball that's hillarious. You can tell that she really has to sing badly when she's supposed to goof around to hide her real singing voice.

[yeukelduck]

Hey does anyone else think that the dress the Fairy Godmother wears when shes on the piano is incredibly similar to one of the ones from French and Saunders? When they jump out of the curtain wearing sparkly red dresses.

[filmjoyce]

She's paroding Michelle Pfeiffer's Fabulous Baker Boys piano sequence.

[AlleyKat04]

Absolutely Fabulous! LOL. Jennifer Saunders is totally awesome!

[IrishEyes1989]

OMG Jen is my idol!!! I love that woman so effing much! SAUNDERS FOR PRESIDENT BABY! :D

[hugh0221]

Fairy Godfather is such an *absolutely fabulous* character!

[niltiac88]

Love her eyebrow

[elvickRULES]

I love her eyebrow too. :3

Jennifer Saunders' singing in the movie just happened to be every one of my favorite parts in the movie. Actually she was my favorite part of the entire movie. :3

[Nat4Brendan]

Haha I love the little dance she does at about 1:35. xD

[HyperNeptune]

Shrek 2 wouldn't be half as good if she wasn't in it lol

[andyra116]

hehehe...i want her babys. i luv jen, in a non lez way yew!!
