  • team four star theatre :D

  • @kasbury23 yes i agree with you, they are good. However, the way they performed this song is lacking. No harmony, no choreography and they are off pitch at times. I can honestly say that they are not as good as our school's Footloose.

  • Uncle wes was over acting.. but other then good.

  • No choreography no harmony and they were off pitch at times!

  • @MissJelorox00 ur kidding their voices were amazing.

  • Honestly I was a little disappointed after the first few seconds. The voices are great, but there's no harmony. Second I was expecting some great choreography after I heard the voices. It didn't have an equal balance.

  • As I usually do, I think Urleen has the best voice of the three

  • Comment removed

  • RUSTY IS AMAZING!

  • @ellabee99 rusty was played by canadian country artist Britt Mckillip of ONE MORE GIRL!!! u should check out their music if u haven't already. they've got a youtube and website if ur interested.

  • i love this :D

  • kramer

  • this was the best play my school ever did.

  • they have great voices they just look like thier bored to death

  • The three girls have great voices yes, but the song is boring without some more choreography, the show is called Footloose for a reason

  • they cut out lines all over the place.

  • Not enough emotion...good vocals though.

  • Good vocals, I like it. It lacked choreography though. They seemed completely focused on singing and not acting natural i.e. pacing and showing facial expressions.

  • Rusty-your intonation needs serious training, as does your diction. It's obvious you have been listening to too much pop music, which your vocals may be acceptable for. You were lucky songs from Footloose are based on pop songs. If this was a typical show-tunes musical, you would be screwed.

  • i sounded really good except i didn't like that they were singing to the crowd and not ren

  • Dang nice slap!!!

  • wow. The little one is amazing!

  • rusty is played by the phenominal, vocally perfect singer/actress britt mckillip. she and her sister carly mckillip are an amazing country music group called ONE MORE GIRL and she's also reggie from the fox show DEAD LIKE ME. cheek out their youtube channel and select the cover 'RAIN'

    !!!!!!! unbelieveable talent

  • your signing was good but needed more dancing involved my school did a mixture of Drama quilds, Dancer from our Dance company and singers from gospell which made it great,

  • favorite part =]

  • Wow, they sound really good!

  • Bakersfield Music Theater did waaayyyy better...but Rusty has a pretty good voice!!

  • hmm ... this number was alright. the rest, though, like let's hear it for the boy and holdin' out for a hero were fantastic (dancing aside)!!!!! i mean you don't choose footloose if you don't have a superb dance group, but i like LISTENING to it!! =D

  • eh Grace arts did it WAAAY better

  • OMG at first I wasnt Interested in footloose but onced we got into doing the dances and everything well I love it and we are going to start tech week next week so Im supper excited we open next week cant believe it :DD

  • Ahhh, I was Coach for my school's. That was so fun :D

  • ok performance. my school is doing that for our spring musical. I cant wait!

  • that was terrable. the dancers werent on time with each other, im doing the same play at school and you cant just stand there on stage and look at the aduience and sing. however the vioces were GREAT!!!! this could have been a lot better with a little more dancing.

  • I know this is horrible

    My school is doing the same play what school do you go to?

  • I was Ren in my HS production of it...it actually played out pretty well cuz i was the Hipster Black cat from the Chi nobody really liked and the rest of the cast was white so it was more realistic

  • i love the silhoutte dancers in the back...that's a really cool idea :)

  • i love the principal in this.

  • Great Cast You all did a great job. The girl that played Rusty has a fantastic voice. BRAVO!

  • I just got Rusty at my school. I'm freaking out. this is awesome.

  • im rusty right now i lvoe our choreography for this! "wsytheater somebodys eyes" :)

  • weird i remember 4 girls in this song

  • there is only 3: wendy jo, rusty, and urleen

  • In all honesty, Wendy Jo wasn't great. I mean, she hit the notes alright, but she seemed kinda nervous or something.

  • I'm Rusty in my school play. This song is WAYYY more fun than Let's Hear It For The Boy

  • Rusty is amazing...keep singing

  • Rusty has a great voice.

    I play Wendy Jo in our school play!

    woot! :D

  • I'm Wendy Jo right now :D

  • I can't wait!

  • Dude! Our show was basically AMAZING! everyone did greatttt.

  • rusty has an AMAZING voice!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @mohopgold she sure dose, that's Britt McKillip from One More Girl you should check out there music they are amazing and just got signed to an American Label!!!

  • they talk so fast. you can barely understand them.

  • The vocals and stuff are good, but the costumes do not look like the 80s at all

  • the script says modern times. so it doesnt nessisarily have to be 80's even though thats when it was premiered

  • i thought the girls were a bit too stiff :/

    but rusty was amazing

  • who is urleen and who is wendy jo?

  • urleen is the taller one, wendy jo is the shorter one.

  • i dont like the ren

  • the dude that is playing Uncle Wes, the voice he is using is annoying.

  • wow! all three of them where amazing!

    good job girls

  • wow rusty is amazing!!

  • That girl playing Rusty is adorable

  • im playing Rusty in my production

  • I love how everyone attacks the person who gives the real critique. Let me put it this way for anyone who cares to hear what's real instead of sugar coated: this play had a lot of potential. The actors are talented, the song is good as a whole, but so much more could have been done. And I really don't care if this "Britt" is Brad Pitt's sister! I feel that she screwed up, and she probablyk knows it, and if she's really that upset that someone pointed out her flaws, she will tell me herself.

  • Just think everyone should know, since you all seem amazed by it, belting is terrible for your voice, even if it projects well, so I sure hope they drink a lot of water. To the girls in the video, you have nice voices so be careful with belting. It would be a shame for any of you to not be able to sing anymore. By the way, I probably have a billion comma splices in this message, so feel free to fix my grammar. I'm really bad with commas...heh

  • we just got done finishing this production at my high school... my sister played rusty and i was part of the ensemble... CLASS OF 11

  • hahahahaha "personifyingpwned"

    pretty sure britt mckillip has more talent then you could ever have! check out her new music video "i can love anyone- one more girl". Maybe just maybe then you can realize your opinion means SHIT. EMI country music records anyone? :)

    britts sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxy

  • To "personifyingpwned"

    first of all, this is a highschool play. She was in grade 10 so why dont you check out "i can love anyone- one more girl".

  • wow. . . this is really amateur-ish. The girls aren't even using accents, when Bomont is in the South. I don't know if this is a highschool or a semi-profesional production, but my highschool is doing a much better job. Choreography, accents and lots of harmony for the girls, people walking down the isle, much more choreography for the chorus. And the girl who I believe is playing Rusty doesn't even attempt to use her head voice, resulting in catastrophy in the very beginning. 2/5 D+

  • WOW. Inflated ego much? Sure the choreography may be a bit off, but you sure do jump to some interesting conclusions. Never is it ever explicitly stated where Bomont is. Usually it's assumed to be a midwestern town though. The fact that you use accents is purely director's choice, and also an uncommon choice. Sure, characters like Willard usually have some degree of accent, but it's not usually that prevalent. Plus, in the movie, I don't remember any accents... And Rusty's voice is brilliant.

  • I'm sorry for seeming egotistical, but I'm stating the facts. It had a lot more potential with choreography and better vocal training on the actor's parts, but this was the director and participant's choices. I'm stating my opinion on how this could have been improved. Rusty's voice is very beautiful, but it has a limit, and she tried pushing it beyond that limit. I have the same problem, she just needs to work on how she hits the high notes. Sorry to offend you.

  • I don't think critiquing is bad, but isn't the point of non-professional productions to learn your limits, try to push beyond them and widen your talent range? I'm just saying that this obviously isn't professionally done, so the who idea is to get experience from it and learn your limits and work to improve them.

  • I understand that, and this is why I pointed out these flaws. 10 or 15 years from now, if this school decides to do the same production, they'll do a much better job if someone who was in this productin is involved. That's the point of critiquing: that it's a part of this process as well as learning your limits.

  • There we go, conflict solved. It wasn't an attack on the kids, it was a critique and therefore meant to be helpful. So nobody attack personifyingowned.

  • My school is doing this this year! I love this song! Rusty is really good! <3

  • I adore this song!

  • lmaoo thatss soo funny!! my skools doing this play this year =].. its sucha fun play to doo =]

  • shit they are good

  • they are lolz!

  • wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooow

  • This is great!! Wendy Jo is a little sharp sometimes, but her diction is amazing, the silhouettes in the background are a nice touch, and when the 3 of them are singing harmonies it's pretty tight.

  • Wie is nou Derek?

    En van wie ben jij er een (das Flakkees)

    Groet van een verre neef uit Nederland.

  • My school did a production of this. For this song thy breifly had every person in the town shown doing something covertly and almost getting caught in rapid succession.

  • rusty has a great voice!

  • The vocals for this scene were great. The dance was a little awkward though. A lot different that our production...

  • Dancing is not really necessary for this song... it's just supposed to be sneaky and kind of still. They did a pretty good job interpreting that.

  • cool i love this song and this is one of the best plays

  • you guys took from the CD too much. part of wendy jo's singing lines on the CD are actually urleens.

    i know, i know, wendy jo has hardly any lines in this song.....i play wendy jo in my production, i was sad haha. but you shoudl really stick to whats written, not whats on the CD.

    and your ren looks like our preacher hahah

  • they need dancing in it

  • i love this song so much

  • urleen and rusty were very good.... i think that wendy was trying too too hard......

  • i totally agree. this is my favorite song from the muscial. (i think, i like a lot of them) <3

  • i agree! my middle school just did this, i was dancing so funny backstage! everyone was silently laughing at me! i had a fun time!! I played cowgirl susie, part of Irene's crew, we sang lets make believe we're in love.

  • i love this song !

    i saw the play last week

    amaazing singing ! great job

  • Who is the blonde girl in the denim skirt - shes got a fantastic voice!!!! Brilliant!

  • Ren really needs acting lessons, and the cop looks really uncomfortable on stage. I agree that the singing is incredible, but the acting is really awful all around.

  • RUSTY IS A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! The other girls are good too, but I agree, blocking is horrible. Ren you need to learn to act. Just because you look like Ren (which, you really actually do, more than people from other videos) doesn't mean you are. You still need to act. Other than that, pretty good! Nice Job Guys.

  • Worst blocking ever. Pretty good voices, though, especially Rusty and Wendy Jo. Urleen was okay.

  • nice singing. but who the hell blocked this?

  • Need work on acting but great singing!!

  • this is really good. poor rust :(

  • Im pretty impressed! Good job girls!!!

    3:27 Uncle Wes' slap is nicccccce.

  • I've seen many schools do footloose and I have to say this is the best singing I've heard in a long time! Rusty is amazing.

  • the singing is good but the acting, not so much.

  • Can I just say that I watch this video all the time because Britt McKillip is fucking amazing? Why did she not sing on Dead Like Me!?

  • this is soo good!! THE BEST ON YOUTUBE. everyone has a great voice, rusty ur great so are you urlene and wendy jo you a very unique voice and love it.

  • wow, this is really good.

    look up whs footloose..we just did it as well.

  • wow guys that's 1 of the best somebody's eyes i've evr seen! Rusty ur voice is amazing!

  • good job girls!

  • Oh, I hated this song when I was in Footloose...lol, good job girls!

  • I Was in this show in my camp.. Loved being in it but the show is soo boring and pointless... It is up to the cast to bring life to it.. You guys really did it.

  • Hmmm. decent voices, but is there a reason that everyone is just standing around? Why is there no choreography...or even movement at all? Attitude is what makes this song! Without attitude and movement, this song is just...people standing around!

  • Bravo-Karla

  • by far the best footloose on youtube :D

  • I LOVE Urleen's voice.

    And Rusty's

    And Wendy Jo's.

    Yay. :]

  • Amazing! FOX ROCKS!!!

  • The singing is wicked and the set design is great. not too sure about the direction/movement.

  • wow, ur all soo good at singing. Im well impressed.

  • rusty is a beast. (beastly good)

    awesome blend between the trio girls.

    quite possibly the best on youtube thus far.

  • lol. Carly's(from Alice, I think) sis? haha I know she's really good!
