I don't get why people compare Nehebka to Aida in this musical. Aida is a belter and an alto, and Nehebka is a beautiful soprano. They're both awesome and perfect for the part they play.
I will just be honest, I did not feel it from them. This song requires soul and emotion and so much of it that it overwhelms you and you lose yourself so much that when the end of the act comes you have completely put on a show. To me it seemed like they were trying to be too technical. Not saying that this was bad, it just wasn't what it could have been
I first want to say.... This performance made me smile inside! The true spirit in which this musical was written was truly captured. Now as a music educator, I must admit there r some serious pitch & technical problems (mainly over pushing) in the piece. But I really dont blame these childrem- I blame casting. (Clearly theres alot of harmful belting present in aida's part) Maybe the key should have been whole step lower- I've seen it wonderfully done. Wonderful job! Especially 4 the age range!
this doesnt have enough soul. the girl playing Aida was like off pitch the whole time. This song requires a lot of extra nonsense singing to give it that extra boost which this production didnt have. look up aida parkland high school. they did it amazingly.
That was just incredible. Too bad the chorus was a little overwhelmed, but that's okay because the leads are SO great. Aida and Mereb are both awesome, but Nehebka... that belting part at the end. wow. I replayed it over and over just to hear you. chills. absolutely amazing.
this was this girl's best song. i've been watching these videos preparing for the role at my school. she's a great singer, but this was by far her best. written in the stars wasnt stellar, but this ... fantastic
i love this song, and the singing in this is phenominal. i wish there was a little more choreography in it towards the end. that's always more powerful
My local theater company is doing Aida, and singing this song is very emotional, especially when we get up there and really belt everything we've got.
wow.. just wow. ms. penn, you are a spectacular aida and i desperately hope you and your voice find a permanent place on broadway or some other career in showbiz.
the woman singing aida does a better job on this song. her voice is meant for slower songs, and when she is not pushing, her voice and vibrato comes more natural.
Props to whoever is playing Nehebka! YOUR ROCK! i dont care what anyone else says you rocked it out! same goes for da guy playin Mereb! your two should've been the leads!
umm, the high belting from nehebka was from the broadway version (you can hear it on the Aida CD), so she technically didn't steal a thing if that was how their director wanted it done.
have you all thought about taking this to International Thespians in Nebraska??? you would have a great chance of making it! this is incredible! AMAZING JOB!!
soooo...this AIDA is 1. pretty...and 2. She can sing her butt off!!! OMG me and my friend are here amazed that was amazing for a youth theatre performance like it was awesome!!! I loved it!!! and the Nehebka Damn!!! Nuff said!!! you guys are great!
Don't let your voice hang so long on those higher notes. When you do that, there's more of a chance for you to mess up a note. Other wise, absolutely incredible. Nice job, especially at the end there! :)

aida was a lot better in this song than in "written in the stars"
nehebka was kinda upstaged by her hair i think (no offense but turn outward hun!)
umm idk if it was nehebka who did tht high belting thing but thy sooo stole tht number!!!! :-)
