GREAT!! Mama Who Bore Me - Spring Awakening SBHS MOTN

[aphoticjade]

they don't have choreography in the show, but look up this song from the drama desk awards and watch lauren pritchard. it's just like what they're doing in this video.

[smarties996]

this was very good..... but a high school doing spring awakening??!?!

[heartlandcutie13]

Really great! But did you do the whole performance. Because if you did, how? I didn't think that the script was released yet.....?

[thinklikemelchior]

i dont even think they had choreography. the first part was good though and it gave me a good laugh

[dayyumitskaren]

wow the first chick can seriously sing! awesome job ladies!

[JanaAMac]

Why am I the only one in weird lighting? hahah I miss you guys!

[AdyFrosty]

they sing nice but it's really amusing the way they dance :)))

[samiam1432]

Whoa there, girls. Calm down.

[Chendog1010]

wow wendla! impressive

[alicevlogs]

Great performance!

[sammlove8]

That was very very well done :)

x

[LovesToSing2192]

I think that the singer in the beginning did a great job....but yeah...this did seem all over the place.

[gymnastmp]

The Wendla before the Reprise was very good.i did not like her as much with the reprise

[carolineisreallycool]

wendla is amazing, i love her vocals. the weird crouching down, not so much. but its great!

[clp0928]

wendla became a wild crazy woman! lol.....good job though!

[dayyumitskaren]

lol yea it was over done but good anyway

[Broadwayboy12345]

Too Much!!!!!!!!! The vocies were nice but their rocking out a bit too hard for me...

[carnivalfreakshow]

I feel like this is what the song would sound like if Ilse sung it.

[sojabohnesam]

great song!!! :)

love it...

[weirdandkindacool]

hmmm . . the vocals were actually pretty good in this performance. the harmonies could use a little work and try not to shout when you sing. the choreography was a little all over the place too. but overall, not bad.

[polarbearmama]

Have you seen the play on Broadway? This is the way it's choreographed.

[fuckingschule]

amazing <3

[elphy16]

wow that was awesome!

[webcomix]

The "Wendla" in this video was not a bad singer at all, but her sudden spastic-ness once the other girls joined was rather....um, I can't find the right words. But maybe it was only because all the other girls weren't as enthusiastic as she.

[Yougotdazzle]

the first girl was so good!

[Sammimars]

the vocals wer amazing...but the guitar in the beg. was ...soo...oofff..and sounded wrong.

and th dancing....eh it was ok...some were too flamboyant...and some werent at all..thats what made it look bad..everyone should have given 100 percent.

[RainbowSprinkles777]

Guys the dancing is just like the show. It's supposed to be slightly uncomfortable because the situation their in is uncomfortable. I thought it was great. The vocals harmonized well.

[ScottZaborski]

If you havent watched this video yet just watch it until 1:34 and then move along

[HateItOrLoveIt101]

rofl the dancing was hillarious!

wasnt expecting that

but the singing was great

lolsz xD

[birdyllama93]

A high school could never get the rights to spring Awakening...

[Sammimars]

it wasn't the full musical...they can do the songs though.

[EMOTIONPRODUCTIONZ]

greeat.... but i think your shoutin ur vocals man.... eekkkk

[elayooaray]

GREAT! Just like the show!

[butterbugs1234]

i love this song

[Qwampa]

First Vocalist Was Well GOOD

The Rest Were Shouting At Me..

And The Dancing Was Well a Bitt Rubbish

[irishwhitie444]

the dancing was too much.

[nicholeannx3]

first solosit, BEAUTIFUL voice.

[tayloriscrazy]

good job wendla

[Smallz04260]

Student directed!!? That's some crazy talent you guys have!

[idinaBALLET]

What do you expect? It's Santa Barbara High School... which means a High School in midst of the talent pool LA where every single person who ever wants to be a singer/actor/director/writer!!­! lol

[broadwayhereicum]

GOd i love this song. The girls did really well!

[krennett000]

AMAZING first soloist.

I felt like the rest of the girls were screaming at me...I bet there were many hoarse voices after the show.

We won't even talk about the dancing/costumes....

[supersingerevan]

this is FANTASTIC. wow. great job Santa Barbara!

i wonder if these other commenters realize that you guys pretty much did the same choreography that broadway did for this song...

[loveyoulikeabutton]

I don't like the dancing, but the voices are lovely.

[bbpoop93]

LOLLLLLLLL what the hell was this dancing?

still eally awesome vocals

[FanOfMiLeyRay]

i cant believe ur school let u do this play

[laxpuff18]

absolutely amazing!!!

[sbryson4]

ha. i give you a 0/10 on the dancing but a 10/10 on the voices! good job!!

[Bmoz628]

omg it was sooooo good until the 2nd part haha you all like turned into gangsters :D haha but still gr8 voices :) esp girl in the beginning!!!

[toniMOOREisHXC]

first soloist...your crazy && good.. =D

[bknoebs]

Harmonies were good, but the choreography was 'tribal' like. Kinda scary actually. :/

[LockhartLoveless]

Well...that's pretty much how it is in the actual show

[GeekInThePink45]

That's true. It's just that all of the girls are doing it very exaggerated (unlike in the show), so it seems like a lot. I like it!

[antttt91]

1:31 is insaneee!!!

where was this performed? it's pretty good

[antttt91]

1:31 is insaneeee!!! hahaha

where was this done? it's aweomse

[singergirl08]

wow she freakishly sounds like someone i know

[Jujubug543]

How did you get this music??? The reprise I mean. I am desperate for it! Please help!

[wickedawsumhsmsuk]

i'm only assuming here, but i think if you buy the rights for the entire show, you'd get everything.. i don't even know if the rights are available for spring awakening though.. they probably are because you can find a lot of amateur productions on youtube.. i probably didn't help you at all lol..

[windowsintheskye]

Since there is still a national tour out, and the broadway production JUST closed, there are no rights available.

[suicidalmickeym0use]

it's posted on youtube, search mama who bore me reprise karaoke, then download it as an mp3.

[dfajkldflak]

impressive for what it is...the ilse and wendla are fantastic, though ilse looks like she's furiously trying to get a bee away from her head during her solo...but i love the energy!

[guacamoleroxmysox]

choreography was a bit much, but amazing singing!!!!! you hit the harmonies HARD.

[pdxoracle]

Off-Broadway Calibur, the movement is for want of a 'beat' but *just* about there.

[Painislife28]

she has a great voice but she's singing this too much like a musical theater song.

this show is so different from other musicals in that when the actors sing, they're really supposed to sing and not necessarily act whilst singing.

but good try.

at least it's original.

[sweetlyspecialk]

choreography was wayyyyyyyyyy over the top. something like 'mama who bore me' shouldn't be choreographed to robotic extremes like that.

but the voices themselves were crazy good. extremely talented!!!! :)

[ernieislove]

The Ilse is wonderful IMO.

[SpringAwakening008]

i love the lighting especially with the solo at the beginning but some of wendla's gestures look mechanical. the choreography with all the girls is too forced and unnatural. if you really feel the emotion it wont look so ridiculous, but at least you attempted the passion of the piece :]

[jteppah]

too bad about the feedback from the mic... this girls look a little robotic(?) but the harmonys are great. the energy is up, thats all that matters!

[LaylaLuvzYa]

totally agree

[purplefiggs]

hehe! i lived in santa barbara i moved like 2 months ago man i miss sb my ssiter went to this school i wonder if you know any of my friends who go there i love this song btw i saw the play on wednesday ha yesterday!

[bellashizzle]

haha holy cow! they went crazy!

[Pernarddun]

The solo was amazing, the reprise a bit shrill and hyper, but overall great!

[lovechild98]

this is really good.

[CaptinPlanit]

The choreography is kind of ridiculous, but those are some crazy voices for a group of high school girls.

[BroadwayBelle]

It's way too choreographed but you all have great voices.

[sassytrumpetgirl]

Awesome energy!!!

[MuchoMasturbation]

The dancing is basically like they do in the show. If anything it's way toned down. the girls in the Broadway show went crazy....

Wendla had really good energy. I thought it was a really good amature performance. Good Job.

[SingDance731]

Totally true...the b-way girls go NUTS ... and it's great so these girls...props to you for taking it to the next level that the other ameatur tries haven't...good work!

[CHEFWAFFLE]

Amazing

[freakshow4]

I actually like the dancing. o.O

[hersheykissesaeg]

wow =]

i would say best amateur attempt i've seen so far!!!

[WackyWeasley]

Love this performance! Whoever said they can't dance should shut it!

[dingguhlbary]

damn, mad good at singing!!!

[indiana102]

awesome job!! that's really impressive for being totally directed by the students. And, ppl are complaining about the dancing, but isn't that how it is in the real play? lol

[mmmitsphoebe]

very nice!

nothing, and i mean nothing, can come close to LM's original performances, however, this was a very valiant effort, and I think you pulled it off nicely.

[katiebug346]

wow. AMAZING blocking & lighting.

[AliaSparrow]

That girl who played Wendla is good!

[Scribblepie]

Relax a bit on the dancing! And during the solo, what's with the emphasis on the 'r's? You don't emphasize that consonant for a reason, it makes it sound bad! ICK. Beautiful voices, work on dancing.

[TheHatPatch]

agreed.

[zooger05]

the dancing is exactly how they do it in the show. i think it works fine. but to each his own i guess.

[shwadiana]

She sounds like Alexandra Socha. I think that she's amazing.

[broadwaykat]

oh my gosh who is this? that girl amazing. she is perfect for the part

[AshIsOutrageous]

Vocals are beautiful but the dancing looks like something off of The Lion King.

[drama5748]

okay your voices are good but i think one thing thats misinterpreted about Spring Awakening is that theyre crazy all the time... theyre not... put some feeling behind your movements but dont go crazy for EVERY SINGLE MOMENT OF THE SONG... in my opinion :D then again im just me... lol

[stacilovesbway]

you took the words out of my mouth. lol

[johnnyvlogs]

If I closed my eyes, and just listened to it, it was amazing.

Really great singing!

But, once the ensemble came out, it got really awkward witht he way they were moving. Everyone should've been way more relaxed.

But good job, over all!

[NoOtherRoad]

Hmmm...

the dancing scared me a little.

But over all, great singing.

[badprangel]

You can easily tell they were just amateurs, but for amateurs thaey're pretty good.

[cobber6889]

if it was just audio and i didnt have to watch, i would think this was a great performance....but the movement looks way too over the top

[blueleopard1227]

The girl who plays Wendla has got to relax more...they try too hard and I argee they are killing their voices.

[theaternerdfighter]

where did you get the sheet music for this? Have they released the play rights for High Schools?

[kudos4kkms]

The beginning pushes a bit, it needs to be calmer. And agreed that Wendla is not feminine enough. She should chill a bit. But the voices are pretty good.

[xbenskin]

i like how the main girl keeps making spidey hands throughout the whole song

[haydonobob]

wow...i love the wenda solo at the beginning...great potential in that one...

and the ilse solo was very...ilse-y!! quite fitting...

and i'm not sure why everyone's knocking the harmonies...while they may not be the exact harmonies, 85% of the time, they're beautiful!!

keep it up, ladies!!

[broadwaybound4eva]

Weird movements. Especially from Wendla. But overall not bad.

[SplashingInPuddles]

they tried a little too hard on the whole "rocking out" aspect of mama who bore me

[crazyllamaoriginal]

I don't think this song is the best choice for a tribal dance to please the Gods.

Seriously, shouting doesn't equate to strong vocals. And even if the vocals were there, the movements were far too distracting.

But I definitely applaud your effort. Especially since it was directed and performed by high school students.

[JemimaED]

the passion in that made up for the slight straining of the vocal harmonies, it was exciting to watch

[StetsonSOMusic]

They are killing their voices :( And they're so young...I appreciate the good intentions and I like that they all committed to what they were doing :) A+ lol But, it's so out of control, which jeopardizes sounding good AND looking good...

[brez789]

wendla's not feminine enough.....she's kindof CRAZY

[AndyMcDandy]

Man, that's not choreography.... that's just them ROCKIN' OUT!! lol

[tatertots246]

ahahah it likes like youre all being ilse when we rocks out... slash having a spaz attack

[trytodefy]

Just to let you guys know, spring awakening is very "interperative". The choreography is very diffrent If you havent see the show dont sit her a knock this perforamce. It is very simialr to the broadway production. so Shut Up. Thanks

[trytodefy]

[overthemoo]

Watching that made me very uncomfortable - it looked very awkward. It was choreographed far too much and nobody looked comfortable with their movements. Plus the fact that the movements were repeated far too much (hair grabbing on cue??). Vocals could have been better but they were nice. This would have been great if you all just did what you wanted and really slipped into a character, you know? Because as I said, vocals were alright.

[ElphabaTheWicked]

First off, this isn't african interperative dance. Second, the harmonies could've been stronger. Other than that it was good.

[thebetterangels]

Good to see you kids are still keeping this up. Blake, Evan and I started this show years ago. Never thought it would go this far. Don't let Otto claim the rights. Egotists generally belong in HS theatre... (Portia)

[haydonobob]

wow...wendla started crumping...hahahahaha

good harmonies!!

[xoxStephxox]

vocally this is fab! really great harmonies! ... i just wasn't that keen on the movements... i agree it takes it a bit ott..

[blckrocker]

Wendla got PISSED!! LOL

[MTDivaNYC]

That was a hot mess. those girls are just screaming and the whole angst thing is taken way over the top. It's supposed to be real, not a cartoon.

[Rentisgreat]

I really like how you sped up the tempo, it sounds really good.

[thumper514s]

Wow, this is amazing :)

[buddhazang]

carlin kicked so much fucking ass in this.  im sitting like directly behind the curtain stage left listening because this was my favorite part of the show.

[mione134]

She should try out for Spring Awakening.

Because shes really good =)

[Grobaholic]

wow this is really good!!!

[michaelsFAT]

HELL YEA. intense.
