Spelling Bee "The I Love You Song" Celia's Little Brother

[flyboynath87]

i appreciate an unrehearsed, sight-read performance.... but didn't you want to at least TRY and portray this song as it should be? last time I checked it's a serious part of the show, i've seen it twice. One of the only serious parts actually.... But comedy? really? Aren't we going to give William Finn at least some credit here?

[moretosee129]

it's funny because his sister's the original olive. I would think that someone who saw it two times would have recognized the last name...?

[BalletPointress]

plus andrew kb is actually in spelling bee right now so yea....

[umleroi]

I get the impression that you wouldn't appreciate forbidden Broadway which is basically the personification of everything you don't like about this video...

[flyboynath87]

i love forbidden broadway ! ok ok so knowing he's celia's brother, it makes it completely hilarious. haha.

[JomamaJackson]

I'm almost positive it was Rona...they wouldn't have moved the camera to her afterwards if it wasn't...it did sound like her

[WickedxChick104]

haha that is so hilarious and very impressive!!

it sounded so great :D lolz. their harmonies were great. :D lolz

the mom's voice is very beautiful and i'm very impressed with Andrew :D lolz.

much love

[famousactress2b1323]

Andrew is so amazing! I saw him last night in Spelling Bee. :)

[actressgrl]

that was most def him singing the high mama.

[spikssssss]

false

[gahlindafied]

ah the video that started all of my akb fanatics:)

[bradyallen10]

Ok, so I have seen a few people comment on how Cortney was the one who sang the "mama" note, but I don't think it was. It wasn't her tone. The tone matched Andrew's...so yeah, that is what I have to say about that. And he is obviously capable, just look at the end.

[floydmeguettel]

effing brilliant.

[gahlindafied]

chills. HAHAHAH love you AKB! this is hilarious

[aerosmithfreak12]

hahahaha loveee it wow rona's really good!

[pengallow]

it's way past, but what was up with having benj in that rusta hat and wig?

[hewasneverminetolose]

Wait- did he actually hit that high 'Mama'?!?! or was that sung by the one who played Rona? still, that was incredible! (even if the pianist was off...)

[hewasneverminetolose]

I love the first definition of 'Chimerical'

[hslevin]

Andrew you are the funniest thing ever :D

[admiralkathryn]

so. my sister and i saw this show w/ celia. i made her LISTEN to this. she thought it was celia. till i made her look at it.

good job. :)

hahaha.

[Emu313]

I love AKB, this is soooooo funny! Mamma! Mamma! Mamma!

[loquaciousthe3RD]

OH MY GOD

his voice. well. talent runs in the family. Jesus, that falsetto is superb. Not to mention everyone else. :)

[anniecc111]

the girl singing Rona's part is wonderful!

[musicxlife37]

So funny. I loved it. AKB is hilarious.

[RonOctopus]

[BeAlive06]

I'm a little confused, but it was pretty awesome. :D

[gahlindafied]

shoot the pianist. now.

[MyLifeIsAMusical]

Andrew Keenan-Bolger is SOOOO spectacular!!!!! He is the best!!!

[Violinist80]

I wonder if it's ever hard for Andrew, being so closely connected to Celia. I mean, now he's gonna be in the show that she's so famous for... I hate it when people expect me to be great at something 'cause my sister is.

[UrInTown]

also, andrew just got cast as coneybear on the SPELLING BEE national tour!!! CONGRATS GRADS!

[mkandyunafan4]

That was funny. I decided to watch this video when I found out that Cortney is the new Eponine understudy in "Les Miserables" on Broadway. She sounds pretty good. Congradulations to Cortney!

[songlark]

This is just awesome. You can seriously tell Celia is his brother.

[duuuudenowayyy]

he is beyond cute. i love this video. it is so gooooood!!!! they are amazing. gah he's so adorable!!!! :D :D :D

[kimmiedubya]

hahahaha, i love when the guy came out with the dreds, hahahahahah. simply amazing, i'm not gonna lie. this entire thing was just...amazing.

Thank you

[haleyalexis]

This is my absolute favorite video on youtube, honestly. Please please please keep this up. It's 5 AM and it's providing me a much needed break from this all-nighter....I am a fan of AKB, amazing vocals all three of them, wow

[duuuudenowayyy]

i love this video. its so good. and hes just too cute! :D

[joedirt25443]

i can't get over how cute he is... haha...

[PepinaBailarina]

Hah! I laugh.

[NathanLaneObsesser]

...he sounds EXACTLY like his sister! lol.

[Broadway92]

itsgreat lol

[ArtistM]

Is that really her brother? My god, what's his age??? The voices are so good!

It's so funny to see them acting out the scene with a little wink to the original. Especially the boy.

Oh yes, one other thing: Kill the pianist!

[domsbabygrl]

I love this! I wonder what Celia thinks. Hehe. <3 Andrew. I'm so obsessed with these kids!

[Violinist80]

So he has his sister's talent? Apparently... Nice.

[thewizardandme]

wow! this is great

[joedirt25443]

I love akb he is so adorable

[xxnic0leyxx]

i love the voices in this! it sounds so much like the original!

[chrissizzle25]

wow the mother is brilliant!

[ProudItalian2003]

holy shit, high voice

[swtslevy]

This is so cute, haha

[dorkfish90]

Wow... that's quite a falsetto there...

Normally I wouldn't like such an amazing song to be perfomed comically, but y'all pulled it off musically as well, so it was all good.

[Alia101]

this is great but the piano is a little to loud though but other than that I'm astounded. The girl has an amazeing voice and so does the boy I've never heard a grown boy sing that high! BRAVO!

[haleyalexis]

This is absolutely amazing.  I'm so jealous that I can never see these things in person, I'm at Western Washington University right now. Wow, I'd love to see more videos with any of these three in them.

[angelicscorpio91]

that was classic...

[Ropo07]

this is honestly really goood

[laylagypsy]

The girl singing for the mother is fabulous!

[porcu320]

haha he looks and sounds like her so much

[dawgguh592]

that was actually good!

[lilcitygirl18]

I love this... this is hilarious. I saw Spelling Bee and Celia and her brother sound alike.. haha.

[Brendan1984]

My sister goes to school with Andrew and she taped this performance also. I remember I was laughing my ass off after I watched it. He killed that sh*t! Him and Celia have a resemblence in the face. Great job... hella funny!

[xoEmily]

He even sounds like his sister!

Hilaaarious.

[Broadwayness]

Aha. That was awesome!

[cheekyalvez]

ok A. i love using my falsetto so this was amazing for me to see, B. I love this song and this show in general, C. i know/ love Cortney Wolfson (i was in Aida with her at the Muny), D. Andrew is adorable. THANKTH FOR POTHTING THITH

[xAEJunky]

Awesome! I wish the quality was better though, but still, great!

[liljakey87]

Andrew, it's Chrissy. Have my babies! This is flippin' amazing!

[junkpuppet]

oh man.. that was awesome.

[fossegirl5678]

oh my gosh...that was disturbing...but i actually thought it was good...wow.

[BtMartin25]

how can you full voice that last MAMA... crazily good.

[ShoshanaFan92]

how does he do that? The freaky thing is that it's pretty good! Also he did a good job in "Anytime."

[ecolt87]

its celias brother dont take life so seriously

[chaksheba]

I have seen this show in S.F. 4 times and got to know some of the cast.This is NOT a funny song in the least.To make fun if it is not the right approach.maybe it is because it is out of context or the people in the audience were there to laugh.The show IS a hoot yes and the most entertaining time but this is a bad mockery.Srr.

[ClareBear18]

chill. even the SF cast made fun of this song. On adult's only night they changed all the lyrics to have to do with Olive's mother who was supposedly away on a scientology retreat.

[becky2shoes]

"And my black dad says..."

"Oh, I wish you'd phone home."

[becky2shoes]

It can be a funny song, and it can work as a funny song! Since you're in SF, be sure to check out the final two adult nights...you'll see what I mean.

[trntyartist]

.... this was done at a Cabaret.... so it wasn't meant to be serious... watch Adrews face... its not serious, the fact that he's playing his sisters part is funny enough

[trntyartist]

This is SO funny, and it sounds really good when thry get into it, it would be cool to hear them sing it seriously.
