A simply stunning voice! She can go from a wet, lispy voice to the most incredibly powerful sound in a split second! There are so many layers to this performance.
I know that so many other actresses are talented in this role but I think Ellen Greene is the only woman who really IS Audrey. It's not the lisp or her voice...She really understands who Audrey is and Ellen gets the campy nature of the show and just toes the line of ridiculous. She's simply amazing.
I guess everyone really likes bad singing. Seriously this sucks. She's not on pitch, and she's not sounding like she's screaming on purpose. She's screaming and she sounds awful.
That's her character. She's acting. I've been a follow spot opreator for a show where very talented actors/singers HAD to sing bad, because their character had not hit puberty yet. So, in this case, her character can't sing very well...so that's how she portaying it.
@beckadonna Honestly you just don't get this. Seymour is supposed to be bad and Audrey has that off beat quirky voice. It is the character. This is not an opera it is a broadway comedy musical.
Holy cripes! I saw this tonight for the first time. I always thought no one could be better than Ellen Greene singing these songs in the film. Now I found someone singing them better: Ellen Greene live. This is astounding. Tremendous talent!
she is fantastic... wow... such passion and heart from that woman. she gives me goosebumps everytime i hear her. you have to watch it, you cant turn away, she is brilliant. she is what is everything everyone is searching for. she made it because this wasnt for anything other than passion.... bravo! wow..
Seymour is actor Teddy Kempner. Hope that helps everyone :D This video/cd is really worth checking out and it's still pretty affordable over at amazon.
what i love the most about her performance here and in the film is that she's not acting as "Audrey" and singing like "Ellen". She truly commits to the role. That's what the other "Audrey's" are missing!
I used to think that her voice was just outrageous. But in a bad way. Now I sit here with my mouth wide open, in amazment. She is incredible, and puts so much heart and effort into these songs. She is just incredible, if only more people would see that.
It took me until I saw this video's name, (my whole 25 years of life, not to mention this musical version) to get the coincidence between Ellen's name and the song.
I was born in 78 and grew up in the 80s. I love Little Shop of Horrors along with a lot of other 80 movies. A time I will never forget. 80s was the best. Ellen Greene was awsome in Little Shop along with Rick Moranis. They better never make another Little Movie. IF they did it would ruin the original one. But overall 80s movies was the best in my opinion. Today movies are crap for the most part.
I love how much she gets into the acting, but WHY the dichotomy in the voice? And why is it always "Sih-mour"? Ellen works that role, but gosh, the singing aspect is painful.
Check out those belts between 5:42 and 6:02, then go back and think about at how freakin' tiny her waist is while she's able to belt that strongly. That, my friends, is one heck of a diaphragm. It's amazing that such a strong voice can come from such a tiny person. Ellen Greene is incredible.
I don't understand why people feel the need to tear down others to make a point. Ok, you don't like Ellen Greene's voice, that's fine, but don't resort to petty insults and just plain douchebaggery.
wow she is just amazing...she did just a wonderful on a stage singing as she did in the movie..I love Ellen..I seen her in a movie name Glory Glory and she blew me away in that as well..she is on hell of a talented actress and singer...she can tear up so fast and believeably...
the first time i heard this woman sing was when i was 12 and i HATED it--i just thought she had the craziest voice ever haha. when i heard this for the first time in years just now, now that i can begin to understand the emotion behind her voice, it made me cry. what a powerful performance from an incredible singer :)
As great as this was, it's nothing to what she was at the "Dress Circle Benefit Gala" in London last week. She came on stage as Audrey and sang "Somewhere that's green". Suddenly she stopped and told the audience: -Sorry, I'm blanking... but this just means so much to me. Then she continued, but she got more and more emotional and by the last phrases, tears were streaming down her face, sobbing. After, the whole theatre stood up screaming, crying and applauding. Ellen, u broke us open. LEGEND x
The Reason It Sounds Weird When She Sings The High Notes Is Because She's Singing In Her Real Voice But She's Still Trying To Sing In Her "Audrey" Voice
I'm so excited! I will be performing with Ellen Greene in December with the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington, DC. The concert is called Red and Greene. Can't wait!!!!!
There's a very distinct difference between her registers, and her high notes sound foggy and kind of strange...but for some reason that only makes the performance more moving. And it really fits the character. She's incredible.
I'm not a fan of her voice. I think it's very strange. But her emotion and passion is undeniable. She certainly puts everything into the role and you can really feel her pain for her past and love for this person. I just wish her singing wasn't so strange.
@hmpeterson I think that's a perfectly fair and well-articulated response. It is an odd voice. But everything she's doing is a choice. She can do pretty much anything she wants with it.
I think she is wonderful .... She had a couple of voice breaks, but her character WOULD break, given the emotion and meaning of the words .... Not 'perfect' and not meant to be .... Seymour Krelborn is not supposed to be a handsome man ... His supposed to be homely and less than average .... No pretty boy Adonis, and this fella fits the bill ...
I wish they wouldn't have cut the songs, but still ... Ellen is wonderful ! ....Amazing ...
I first thought that they should have found a better Seymore, but on reflection I think she was the picture and he was her frame. I love her in this role. On a side note, "Wow, what big veins you have Grandma!" Seriously, wow.
Some people love certain celebrities, fashions, music, and art forms; other people go after different types of celebrities, fashions, music and art forms.
We all have different tastes. Either you love something or you hate it. Your opinion doesn't make you a lesser person than the one who thinks differently.
That being said, I love Ellen. I don't give a damn what anybody else says.
If you look at her '87 rendition on Johnny Carson, she also has tears in her eyes. She is fab, and that is probably the best matched Seymour in terms of pipes for her.
she left new york too soon. broadway's greatest loss. she should have done the revival. after all lupone and peters have done their some of their best work in their 50's. come back ellen. broadway and carnegie hall need some great talent.

@dogcat126 Complete control? I mean... I love her acting, she is brilliant and she has tears in her eyes. It's amazing how much emotion she sings with. But her voice... it's a bit painful to listen to to be honest :O she strains so much.

Ellen Greene is literally one of my all-time idols. She's incredible and truly talented. There is no other Ellen Greene in the world. No other person could ever replace her performance for me... from Little Shop of Horrors to Heroes, to Pushing Dasies

I had found this once before and lost the password to that acct. I just went through 8 other versions of this and nothing compared to it. Stunning job incredible talent, voice, heart and delivery. Also this is the only one where the actor playing Seymour was the right one for her. I mean really, you need a strong actor with a strong voice if your going to play opposite a nuclear powerhouse like Ellen Greene.
A simply stunning voice! She can go from a wet, lispy voice to the most incredibly powerful sound in a split second! There are so many layers to this performance.

she really does bring the song to life, no other woman could give that song the character and voice that ellen gave it.

I think that while 'Suddenly Seymour' She's REALLY crying, not just playing the role.
Really amazing.

I've been in love with Ellen Greene half of my adult life on the strength of those two songs.

Ellen Greene is literally one of my all-time idols. She's incredible and truly talented. There is no other Ellen Greene in the world. No other person could ever replace her performance for me... from Little Shop of Horrors to Heroes, to Pushing Dasies

@Love0me0dearly: I adore Elaine Paige, and she is an angel of music (no pun intended), but she would have destroyed this part.

I had found this once before and lost the password to that acct. I just went through 8 other versions of this and nothing compared to it. Stunning job incredible talent, voice, heart and delivery. Also this is the only one where the actor playing Seymour was the right one for her. I mean really, you need a strong actor with a strong voice if your going to play opposite a nuclear powerhouse like Ellen Greene.
