@cathleenwright i felt like it helped me to portray the emotion of the song better...it's a rougher sound when the character is at her most distraught, as opposed to a prettier sound that would come from my head voice :)
She's got a good belt and head voice, but there's no mix. Was she sick in this performance? It's weird, she's got this older, edgy sort of look, but her voice is so much younger sounding than her face. I expected her to sound more like Idina or even Edyie.
Erin Wegner Brooks has a version of this on YouTube. Beautifully sung, gorgeous voice, but poor camera work, The performance is in a Cabaret that the cast of traveling Young Frankenstein put on for Actors Equity charity in Sarasota Calif. recently.
@xjustkissher If you want to hear this song a whole step BENEATH where it was written to be sung, watch Farah Alvin's version. Don't get me wrong, I love Farah's version, and I think a solid vocal performance is better than stubbornly singing in a more difficult key, but comparing this girl's performance with one where the key was lowered is a little unfair.
Seriously, I keep coming back to this video.. Why isn't there more material of you on youtube than just the few video's that are on here.. You're simply incredible!
I just listened to/watched a bunch of videos of this song, I wanted to add it to my favorites. You are phenomenal. This video of this song was by far the best compared to all the other ones that I saw. Everything you did with this song, the singing, the acting, is beyond words. Great job. This video is now in my favorites! Best version of this song on youtube by far.
Messiah College, my aluma mater! As a matter fact, I'm proud to say I worked with this girl a lot of times. She's very sweet and (as you can see) ridiculously talented.
WOW. your upper register is AMAZING. when i first heard the normal voice i wasnt sure if you'd be able to hit the last part- and BOY WAS I WRONG. you blew it out of the water!!
im so freaking obsessed with thissssssss omg
