a-fuckin-mazing!!!!! cannot believe this is a high school production, i got lost into her perfrmance nd it seemed professional to me.. great acting, timing, nd especially singing:)
She's very nasally and her acting is subpar (but not bad for high school... really, you never find good actors in high school) but she has a lot of potential.
@Cheratomo nasally? really she's maybe a little if any, really not much, really listen to her belting notes their very strong and defiantly from the diaphragm, not nasally. listen again
@TheTimrhodes93 I was using the wrong word, not nasally, but she doesn't open her throat fully. It sounds off in some way to me, and I don't know enough about the voice technically to be able to point out what, I just know that there's a difference between some of her notes which are really good and some which sound weird and strained.
Um, Rizzo shouldn't be this emotional.... I would like to see more character buildup. I mean, Rizzo is STRONG, STUBBORN, BAD. I think it wasn't very good to have Sandra Watching from the side of the stage.
@elibellz922 Yeaaaah .... but this song is supposed to show that she has a weaker side too! That she isnt all hard, she's sometimes just talk.... what she says and what she feels are two different things.
Ignore the nay-sayers, (everyone's a critic and a frustrated performer!). I make my living from singing and I thought you did a great job - tempo and pitch.
I thought it was GREAT this is my favorite part in Grease and over all it was WAY better than you would expect a High School play to be. =) And the acting wasn't bad at all like every one keeps saying, you even got a little tear in there when the camera zoomed on your face. xD
couldve been much better. its not entirely your fault, after many rehearsals, the director shouldve at least fixed the way you were acting, but overall it wasnt bad. it just couldve been miles better. but at least you werent bad
it was alright. her voice was too verbrato at some points and it didn't sound good. overall i don't think she delievered the acting part of the song well. it's more emotional and she should have been softer at parts and stronger at others. she was off with that. and at the end, when she's confessing to sandy that she cries, thats a big deal because rizzo is so tuff and i don't think it was good acting to be smiling.
omg. okay i was rizzo in grease this year. i went on youtube to find some pointers. ill be honest ..they all sucked ! lmao i wish i saw yours. you were amazing lmao. not my favorite style for this song [music wise] love it<33 good job girlie <3
the idea isn't to be as good as someone but to create it your own when singing it as well as hitting notes. but if you create it your own then your not compared with other people.
Gosh, that was amazing. im currently rizzo at my highschool, double casted with a friend of mine... i sure hope i can pull it off... i mean.. i cant belt. so... i hope i do well. wish me luck!
What?!?!? Were we watching the same video? Her singing is not just 'decent', it's great. The same goes for her acting. Her facial expressions alone are enough to let you know that Rizzo wasn't just a character for her, that she is a real person with real flaws.
I can't imagine anyone who hasn't played Rizzo would really understand what it is to play her, so I don't blame you for being ignorant.
It's any actor's job to make the character real with flaws, that's nothing special. Her singing had its flaws, and there are certainly different interpretations of how Rizzo can act this scene, and I've definitely seen it portrayed better. It's her acting just before the song that lessened it overall. I maintain my opinion.
@fredombeautytruthluv This is very true. I played George Washington in my 1st grade play. I now understand the hardships of being the general of a war, and the difficulty of presiding over a newly formed nation. Even now, I just experienced whats its like to be you, by posting something completely absurd.
Where does it say that Sandy HAS to be blonde? In the Original Broadway Cast, Sandy was a brunette. Sandy does NOT have to look like Olivia Newton-John.

Loving this live band with the drums. Gives this classic song a whole new spin. I do feel as though her voice is drowned out by the band though. X
