Kristin Chenoweth is musical perfection! Such great vocal range and emotion in her voice. A song has no greater friend than Kristin Chenoweth! In a word -- PRICELESS!
Good Grief!.....I was getting "chills" from her glorious voice!... what a vocal instrument of perfection the Good Lord created in Christine Chenoweth!
There is nothing this lady can't sing. Such a beautiful song and a beautiful lady! I would love to see her in concert and would buy a concert DVD of hers in a minute!
Kristin Chenowith IS one of the greatest broadway stars ever. Make some more albums for us please Ms Chenowith, maybe a DVD too. AND come to Australia and give some concerts here please. And great to see you unashamed about your faith.
She doesn't only have a great voice but also a radiant charisma. She smiles and shines as if there was nothing easier in the world than singing this song!
I hate to be stupid...but I'd never seen her until she was on GLEE....and now I'm a big fan. I'm just sorry all the times I'm seen show on Broadway....I missed her...would love to see her live....maybe next time.
It's a clip from the Disney re-make of "The Music Man", starring Kristen Chenoweth and Matthew Broderick ... like much of the Disney product, it's a bit blandly directed, but it does have the wonderful Kristen.
Being of an older generation, I still favor the Shirley Jones version for the movie but Kristin equals or exceeds it with her on stage solo version. Spectacular vocalist and cuter than a new puppy.
awesome! I have just found the new version of the music man. I found if hard to believe that she could sing that well - till I found this clip and realised she was actually singing (not lip sync)
Ha, ha..I had to listen twice because I got caught up reading the hilarious comments. I've got to hear the 14 year old that can sing better than Chenoweth. :)
If you don't like her rendition of this song, don't comment on it. It's that simple. This is not a place to be rude. I can maybe see why you wouldn't like her if this is the only thing you have watched. This should not be your only impression. Watch the video of her singing Glitter and Be Gay...you will definitely be impressed by that.
And stop arguing. It's really obnoxious when I look at the comments below a video and all I see is bickering. That goes for both of you...you KNOW who you are.
Not to be rude or anything, but I have yet to meet a 14yr old that is worthy of being compared to a professional. I doubt she even knows how to sing with proper technique yet...her voice hasn't matured yet. None of you should be commenting on this unless you truly understand vocal technique and performance...that doesn't include high school plays or listening to Broadway soundtracks. Go to college and learn a thing or two about music and then MAYBE you can criticize a trained professional. MAYBE
@belcanto9250 ok this person isnt attacking her, you guys are really overreacting. i think what she's trying to say is that they like the interpretation of the song that his/her (cant tell from the name) does better than this. Not saying the technique is, although it could be good, you don't no it isnt. i have a 14 year old friend that has the proper technique to do songs like glitter and be gay, peoples voices mature at VERY DIFFERENT RATES! u dont have to agree. he/she is being pretty calm
@jtg10795 no one under the age of 30 should sing glitter and be gay, not that they CAN'T sing it, but they will destroy their voice if they do it and won't be able to sing by the time they're 40.
@KirstenBeach ok saying 30 as the minimum is WAY overexaggerating. barbara cook was cunegonde in the original candide when she was like 28. people's voices mature differently. there was a girl in my school, she is now a freshman in college, who was literally about 10 years ahead in vocal development. my hi school does an opera every year and we were able to do the magic flute just because we had her
@KirstenBeach " no one under the age of 30 should sing glitter and be gay, not that they CAN'T sing it, but they will destroy their voice"..yea right, like Barbara Cook ? she still seems to be doing a "little" singing at 83...
i'm not a big fan of sopranos 5 seconds prior to watching this amazingly talented woman. well, guess what? its a complete paradigm shift! Hail Kristin Chenoweth! =)
@MirandaHopeYaLikeIt ha omg dude fuck you. I'm not saying I could so any better, I just don't like the way she sang it. Your so stupid. A girl in my school, owns her in the face at singing this. u dont even know wht ur talking about.
@sixsensation23 You might not like it too much but she is recognized as one of the best singers in the world. How is the girl in your school doing? Has she won any Tony's or got any broadway leads yet. I am not saying this to be sarcastic I am just trying to give you a reality check. If you don't like the style that she sings this have you listened to other songs by her? I really love For Good and Popular from Wicked. Maybe you would like Taylor the Latte Boy. Give it a shot.
@TristanandIsolt Okay like I just made one comment, and I love how you people think you can reply and like change my mind. I'm sorry but it's not bringing you anywhere. She hasn't won anything cuz she's freakin 14 years old. And yes i have heard her other songs I LIKE HER OTHER SONGS. I just don't like this one, and you can't change my mind. so leave me the hell alone.
@sixsensation23 I am not trying to change your mind. Only you can do that. I am simply giving you information. Why are you so paranoid? Now I know that you like other Cheno songs and there is just something about the way she does this one that bugs you. You don't need to respond to everyone in such an antagonistic way. Why don't you post a Youtube of your friend singing this. I would listen.
@TristanandIsolt Look, I'm trying to be cool and calm. I just don't like being attacked for my opnion, and whether you think so or not, your challenging me, and that's showing how immature you are alright? And she can't be posted online, her parents are strict, besides I never said she was my friend. So leave me alone.
If she were around in the 40's and 50's, Chenoweth would have been the greatest Broadway star of all time. That voice is peerless. She is too old for Promises, Promises and her talent too immense for the role but I am sure she will be a joy for audiences nonetheless.
She does it in Bmajor. I just checked out the Shirley Jones version from the Music Man. That's in Dmajor; that's why this version sounds more mellow. McCartney sang it in Fmajor. If you're interested, check out my Beatles tutorial on this song in which I go over all the chords and George's awesome solo.
ok i'm a HUGE kristin fan. loved her since i first saw the remake of this movie. this movie made me a fan, i've heard this song done a million different was as i spent 6 years in choir and have been singing all my life...BUT NEVER LIKE THAT!!!! BEST VERSION OF THIS SONG EVER! HOW DO I GET IT ON MY IPOD?
How can you judge her real character when your experience is limited to performances and interviews? She is one of the greatest show-business personalities of our time, and way under-rated. But, I do not pretend to know her true character.
Did you know that she actually takes time for her fans? She'll send us personalized stuff even when we don't ask for it. She tears up every time a fan says something nice. Have you seen some of her interviews? Or read her book? She's very humble; however, she knows that she's good. I mean, her voice can do just about anything. There will always be people who disagree but I hope that you might check out some more stuff on her because I think she's amazing. I'm proud to call myself a fan. :)
She really isn't conceited at all. I don't wanna be mean, because everyone has an opinion, but she's a really REALLY nice person to EVERYONE!!!! In one of her first broadway shows she got this great review, so the next night she really held back so "she could let other people have a chance to be noticed." She's so nice and she really cares about people.
I think that you meant that the "a" was silent. Otherwise, it would simple be Linda. In any event, she didn't change it until after Dr. DIllamond's devolution/dead (play/book.)
It's a great song. Not to be snide, but seriously...if this song bored you, you really don't love to sing and this isn't your calling. You have to find in a song what makes it yours and sing it that way.
I agree that one cannot compare Shirley Jones and Kristin because their styles are COMPLETELY different. Kristin has a "pop" sound with, at times, closed vowel pronunciation which causes a nasal sound, while Shirley has near perfect vowel and air flow placement, causing more of a bell tone vocal sound. Also, Shirley sings this song in a slightly higher key. They are each equally good singing their own style.
I thought this was really good. Stop comparing her to Shirley Jones! They are two totaly different performances. Stop knocking her. Id like to see half of you get and and sing that to that standard.
this is such a beautiful song and she has a great voice!

Wow... I had to learn this song for a competition, and it bored me silly. But she really draws you in.

It's a great song. Not to be snide, but seriously...if this song bored you, you really don't love to sing and this isn't your calling. You have to find in a song what makes it yours and sing it that way.

Love Chenoweth, but Shirley Jones sings the most definitive version of the song

I agree that one cannot compare Shirley Jones and Kristin because their styles are COMPLETELY different. Kristin has a "pop" sound with, at times, closed vowel pronunciation which causes a nasal sound, while Shirley has near perfect vowel and air flow placement, causing more of a bell tone vocal sound. Also, Shirley sings this song in a slightly higher key. They are each equally good singing their own style.

Yeah, they had to lower the key because it's TV and while Kristin fought it, the producers decided to lower it because of that.
She sung a right-key version in a concert. It's AMAZING.

I thought this was really good. Stop comparing her to Shirley Jones! They are two totaly different performances. Stop knocking her. Id like to see half of you get and and sing that to that standard.
