@NicoleHalsey13 Actually Sierra did understand Ariel as a character, in the special features on the special edition of the DVD it has an interview with Sierra and she says right at the beginning that Ariel has always been her favourite disney princess and loved the little mermaid most of all out of all the disney films when she was a child. I like her as Ariel personally.
you all with the rude comments need to shut up i think she sounds just like her and she can act great belive me i kno im in college im a musical theatre major and and her hairs fine id like to c you get up there on that big stage and perform in front of millions and havet to fill jodis shoes try giving her some support she mite need it
@koolkats125 It's a Broadway musical. On stage, everything needs to be rather exaggerated; hair, make-up, clothing, especially in a production like this. Most likely why they styled the wig to be so wavy.
I don't like Sierra's acting, Ariel's supposed to be peppery and spicy, I woudl even call her a bit tomboyish, even though she's delicate ande feminine. she's a determined child and her movements say so. she's not like cinderella or Snow White, more like Belle and Mulan.
they are different...the movie version can never be replace..its a classic and in the movie they can make it more dramaic...and they can do it and do it again...until they like it...on broadway..its live..and i don't think she wants to be 100% like the movie..she needs to creat a version that shows who she is...either is great..if u want to hear a bad version of part of your world...try the miley cyrus fast/pop verison...after hearing that u will agree both of these ladies done a great job!!
I think you all need to get over the fact that Jodi originated the animated ariel, not the broadway version. If they wanted Jodi they would of had her. Obviously that wouldn't of worked out. My my people, wake up! :D
lol they would've chosen jodi if she wasnt too old for the role...but i do agree, people need to wake up and realize that there is more than one mermaid playing ariel
well both sierra and jodi have good their good and bad point but i guess one is always better than the other....it depends on the way u see it...i would prefer jodi though cus she is the one who start this beautiful singing..(is it??i am not sure...)
well bottom line is: Jodi was perfect for the movie and Sierra was perfect for Broadway. it doesn't really matter if they could fill each other's place. they did excellently where they were and there is no need to question either.
well jodi is ok too but she doesnt have to power to sing on a stage like sierra has.sierras voice is so powerful jodis voice is ok too but to soft for stage and i think sierra has a better voice for ariel
i have watched this movie hundreds of times i loved it so much i even watched it in french!i wish i was a mermaid and had a wonderful voice like siera
bwhahahahaha ugly bhwhahahahaahahhahhaah bwhahah HABAHAHAHHA UGLY omg.....I can understand taste differs, but saying she would be ugly gives you like ....I dunno, got no words for that lol , very untrue
I think she's a great role model and should release an album maybe? She's the kind of woman young girls should admire, instead of the likes of paris hilton!
She doesn't really sound like Jodi at all, Sierra sings the song like half an octave higher. Beautiful voices both, but not alike at all. I think Jodi may be a mezzo soprano while Sierra is a soprano, but I'm not sure. I'm music-term-challenged like that.
yeah, i think that too. cuase i thought he part was supposed to be lower, but i saw an add for open auditions for the part of ariel and said she must be a soprano, (i knew sierra was a soprano but i thought that she could lower too.)
@Deffie They are actually both sopranos, singing in the same frequencies. It's just a matter of differerent timbre, that's why they voices appear to sound different. A mezzosoprano is a much darker voice. There are also different types of sopranos and a more dramatic soprano can sometimes almost sound like a mezzosoprano in her timbre which makes it hard for a unskilled ear to hear the difference.
@LETTIS79 I see! But Jodi still sings this song a little lower - if you compare the Broadway and movie versions, you can hear that they are in different keys.
@Deffie They're not in different keys at all-- Jodi's as much of a soprano as Sierra is, as LETTIS79 said, they're singing the same notes. They just have different voices, so of course they're going to sound different.
Sierra has the better voice for Broadway: her belt is much stronger, and she knows how to work with an orchestra, not to mention she has to act with her body in addition to her voice. Just a performance difference. ^^
@Deffie But they're in the same key, so she's singing the exact same notes, not half an octave higher. I think what you mean is their voices have different qualities.
Great preformance, I love her voice...but seriously, that is a huge fork...I mean dinglehopper! I know they make it so big to the audience can see it on stage, but seriously...
They really sound the same..... I love Sierra now!!!! I mea...not that I didnt love her before...it was juz tht I didnt knew her before... but it's okay I guess...cause I know her NOW...^^
I know :) I never could quite understand why Ariel would leave her world behind. But I guess it's just like Sebastian says 'The seaweed is always greener on the other side' :)
I don't know if they've let the rights for LM go yet. You can't do a non-professional production of a show if they haven't let the rights to it go.... or something along those lines. It may be a while before schools and community theaters can do it.
The voice showing on the broadway version is more mature.
