just one step

[JerkyPuck]

I think she acts it beautifully...although this woman is fed up...shes simply a drama queen with no intention of actually killing herself....kind of a real housewife socialite with a flair for the dramatic. Good job colleen.

[angeleyez101]

vocally this is strong. one of the best. but the acting isn't matched up with what the character is suppose to be liike.

[agenttango09]

I adore you :) thanks so much for the entertainment. You are fabulous and a truly great role model. <3 thank you.

[Willow756]

this is so good

[Otody]

She doesn't say 'fucking'

[LizzieAldridge]

@Otody Neither did I when I did this song

[kce3productions]

I really like some of the little stuff you do in song, but it's not acted for the whole song, it seems like... I still like it anyway :)

[oliveuido]

Damn, she's super hot.

[ohsinnaman]

the only part i don't like about this performance is that she doesn't have the desperation that comes with this song. she is supposed to be either bat-shit crazy or really suicidal. i don't believe that she understands she is threatening to kill herself if she doesn't get recognized by her husband.

[Tustin2121]

Excellent. :D

So much more in control of the situation in this interpretation than other ones where she's standing on the ledge the whole time.

[TheDylanAndrea]

why do people like not get that miranda is a comedy act? It's hilarious, but you are also extremely talented as Colleen. I love your voice, and this version of this song is the best I have ever heardddddd

[ohyeah1989]

i don't think she understands the little meanings in this song. like the throwing diamonds and everything

[marsha831]

Miranda is Colleen's awful stepsister...she keeps trying to hog the spotlight - fortunately you PsychoSoprano fans aren't fooled by her!

[beccaram14]

are you really miranada? like seriouslly..i cant see the resemblance..

[GKR18lax]

fake.... i like mirandasings more when u were bad

[kris8o8]

thats not miranda, it's coleen

[musicandmirror]

that mic tape is killing me...

she is fierce.

[heytherepooch]

you have an incredible voice but i think this is the same girl who has a youtube channel as miranda where she sings AWFUL...i dont get it lol

[whalewatcher321]

she has that because shes an actress.... when you think about it shows how good she is at acting, shes a comic genious in my opinion

[secoxxx]

right on the button.

[FiniteSunrise]

How do you not get it? Miranda's a character.

[stop620]

your amazing at singing and pretty good at acting cause at the thing in NYC you didnt crack when ppl were being assholes....ur also really pretty

[samschultz]

You are fantastic. Brava. Thanks for posting your serious side. :-)

[VEGMONSTRTATTOOBARBI]

[jamiejam10]

im glad Miranda is a character :D

you have a great voice

[fabb1022]

Can someone please give her a deal, a record deal. A singer and a great performer. KUDOS!

[Yanecita1986]

I loved your musical interpretation. Your voice is perfect for this song.

[xpolkadotgirlx]

that was FANTASTIC.

[swerty95]

i am really happy the mirandasings videos are a joke i was pretty scared that u were that delirious but you are actually really amazing

[OmenNeighbor667]

I love that song, and you looked like you had a lot of fun performing it.

Your Miranda charater is hilarious by the way. To know you are actually an amazing singer makes her even funnier to me.

[emileigh39]

the piano and background music are so loud in this, but other than that it's fantastic.

[ChadMan26]

Great performance! Could use a LITTLE more of the energy and commitment that you put into your voice in your actions. GREAT vocal performance, though. Piano could be a little quieter.

[SimsVids15]

Love It.

[firegonegrey999]

Spot on delivery! Your voice is gorgeous, as well!

[psLUVYAH13]

omg you are so amazing!

the miranda girl is just a joke!!!!

haha you are so great at acting!!!

[mim4lyfe]

your amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gbfilmproductions]

you're amazing- the miranda character is hilarious- i've only just discovered she isn't real.

[bluenoser123]

I must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed the Miranda videos... truly hilarious and funny.. I am (in an odd way) disappointed that she isn't real!

You are very talented.. Good luck with your career!

[jfl7887]

one of the best versions of this song ive ever herd

[acvbandgeek9289]

I'm so happy you can sing! :)

I was honestly worried about Miranda... but I still get a good laugh about it :P

You're a really good actress! Keep it up! :)

~(am

[CCF01]

you're fantastic!

[matty150580]

ahhhh rit i get it lol mirandasings08 is a piss take lol

[jamiezra]

I am SUCH a fan... you're seriously one funny lady, and very talented too!

[ahackel18]

you are so good! this and the mirandasings videos are hilarious!

[johnnybee3000]

Miranda...I just watched stars and the moon and you sound good there, but you sound QUITE good here. You even dress well here. I'm beginning to think that your voice lesson videos are a joke.

[drivonike2]

ha ha yeah ther are man!! mirandasings is a character!!! she is amazing!!! she can invent anything!!! talented people can come up with anything!! those are the real artist not like jessica and all that!

[jacibrenna]

i love you.

lol.

rock on :)

[FHockeyGirl923]

y do u do the miranda thing? it just gives people another reason to hate u! like it makes u look two faced and everything. ur really talented and should sing like this instead of stupid miranda

[drivonike2]

umm beacause mirandasings is a comedy and a creation of hers! duh!! welcome to acting !!

[ilikeducksinthedark]

haha wow u truly are a trickster i mean ugh y even do the miranda videos lol they make me want to scream maybe you really should go out for american idol?!

[JuliaAllegra]

I am so sorry. u r actually truly amazing. i didn;t know that the miranda videos were fake. hahaha

[paramore1fan21]

at first when i saw the miranda videos and everyone said that it was a joke, i didn't believe them. you really are good. how do you do that? how do you sound bad? how do you disguise your voice? i'm so embarrassed. you are amazing. i so didn't know. thank you for making this account

[jfl7887]

acting!

[beatlesluvers12]

omg, i knew the whole miranda thing was a joke the first time i saw a video of it. you could hear that you were holding back your real voice. you are amazing!!!

[kjwhite84]

Yo seriously... you're really good. I literally got chills watching this. (and it was a huge shock-- I saw Miranda first and was cracking up)!!!

[heywalshyy]

stop singing all your other songs likea retard this is good

[whalewatcher321]

she shouldnt stop the miranda hoax its brilliant! colleen ballinger is pulling of the ultimate theatrical stunt!

[tggold]

She knows that people want to watch dumb controversial videos. "Miranda" has gotten her more publicity, she'd be dumb not to keep going with it (at least until people got bored).

But yeah, I love this version of One Step. Probably more than the original.

[markish17]

do you really not say swear words?

or is it because of the venue

'cause you mention it in your miranda videos...

[angelilz]

this is so good- i love it!!

[xHuntleyx]

Stop being rude. I had to do a play and if they dont use tape then it wont catch your vocals so you wont hear them. How about you go back to watching your musicals!

[FHPvideo]

Are you joking? Like seriously? Yes, her tape job was a little bad, but most professionals use mic tape in theater. Maybe you should stop watching professionals and get back to your video games.

[phantasma616]

most productions use tape to hold a mic in place.

[polohockey43]

hey i have just never seen that my sister is in musicals and plays and they just use the clip ones

[zestymom]

So good, your a true entertainer :) xoxo

[divoboy]

Fabulous!

[jmanders85]

What a song/singer

[gwentrent]

3:25-3:36 pure delight!!!!

[ykaiilah]

"Hannah Miranda"

[purpletree11]

MIRANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[Softballrules]

wow. you're amazing. we should be on broadway together. :)

[ashjosjd13]

Holy crap that note you belted at the end was AMAZING

[ropstoob]

KTandT; Not actually bad? At what school did you study understatement??? :-)

[EminentFate5]

Wow...you really are great!!!

[oboemaster]

i'm so glad that you don't suck like i thought you did!! haha! you are truely amazing!

[KTandT]

Yay! You're not actually bad!

[jordansweetn]

thats miranasings08 :| wtf

[zjoke]

Yeah I actually cried when I realized Miranda wasn't really. In a good way.

[TrebleB4Mi]

You're a genius. I'm so glad that this is how you actually sing. Thank you for your contribution to the world and for the laughter you brought to us with the other video's even though I was seriously worried about you're alter ego for a while.

[shoelaced]

You're like one of those rodeo clowns. It takes REAL TALENT to be bad on purpose. I was tearfully glad to learn that Miranda isn't a real person. You're great!

[snisnasnappie]

Still think this is the best just one steps version on toutube. Great singing, acting, articulations etc.....

[apple9indy]

AMAZING......and inspiring. THANK YOU!

[JSchnabbs]

The bassist is AWESOME

[sc0tlas]

James Middleworth was our bassist. And yes, he IS awesome!

[quadchops777]

Aww, Scott, you're too kind ;-P

[quadchops777]

Well cheers :-)

[acc905]

1) You are fantastic

2) You really know how to make yourself less attractive as mirandasings08

3) YOu are SO SO FIERCE

[Ekir75]

You can't say the F word at APU??

[zimbean]

WOW.

[radiskatie]

your awesome! this is such a hard song to pull off

[TimonyErt03]

yes, lots of mic tape, but you're performance is GREAT!

[MrJasonSensation]

I agree. Mic Tape... horrendous.

But You, the band, the singing, and the coat are FABULOUS!!

[jphock1998]

Ok...the mic tape--ridiculous.

everything else?  flawless! FLAWLESS!

[abarbar73]

wow u are incredible

[TraurigeJunge]

I enjoy your singing a lot. I'm glad you popped up when I searched for this song. Brava.

[danielmichellex]

i just went to your mirandasings08 name...and i just want to thank you because its SO funny.

you play the part of typical teenage girl very well.

and this is a spectacular performance as well.

[quadchops777]

OH MY GOSH IT'S COLLEEN YOU'RE MY HERO!!!!! I love every note you sing and everything about you! ;)

Except the fact that I made it into the shot for this whole friggin video... haha :P Love ya!

[13becca17]

OMG you are sooo gooood! I love watching this one, it's such a great song.

[liveinlove1123]

I want your voice

[kevml33]

OMG, YOU ARE AN AMAZING SINGER.

Are you by chance faking to be bad as mirandasings08

???? cause you look exactly the same

[psychosoprano]

HAHAH!!! yes! I can't believe you found me! thanks for watching!

[magicminion]

I'm not going to lie, I hunted you down becasue people claimed you had an alter ego. I'm so glad that stuff is faked. I don't know how you make yourself sound so horrible and brainless. I'll lend it towards gread acting!

[2300lulu0023]

That was awsome! i loved how the character was portraied it really was hilarious especially " well its no joke murray"

[illstealyoujohanna]

so so good. :]

[skittlesjc]

OMG hilarious! You're brilliant!

[FaulkesN]

If there is a better musical theatre performance on YouTube, will you please send me a message and let me know what it is. I REALLY want to see it.

[FaulkesN]

I'm speechless.

[sirc1audious]

the best ive seen and heard it.

[MssDiva81]

awesome, you're a fabulous actress!! :)

I especially like your rendition of Caro Mio Ben :)

[psychosoprano]

HAHAHA!! thanks... I need to take those "miranda" videos off line before someone thinks I'm serious. haha

[nicksanchez1981]

Don't you DARE!!!! :-) You are amazing, and THANK you so much for singing "Spoon Full of Sugar" it seriously made my day as well as the rest of the cast :-) You are terrific.

[majorsaxplayer]

This is outstanding. I am a huge JRB fan and you portray his characters so well. I love the videos from "The Last Five Years" too. I'm not sure if you are still at Azusa, but if you are and there is anything coming up, I know lots of people who who love to go check it out. Thanks and keep up the great work.

[m0d3sty]

EXCELLENT! wow...speechless:)

[mixedchic07]

a girl in my pageant sang this and sounded A LOT better,when i get the video i'll out it up here.jesse sang it sooo much better

[psychosoprano]

I'm looking forward to watching it! Please let me know when it is up! THANKS! :) YOU'RE THE BEST!

[SalEFlynn]

lol Nice response to an absolutely ridiculous comment. You're fantastic, and I'm glad you're confident enough to know that people are morons sometimes. :)

[sprayberryjoy]

you're absolutely ridiculous and this is amazing and if you're not on Broadway in a few years, then there is absolutely no hope for anyone. I cant get over how talented you are...

[tggold]

Definitely my favorite version of this song on youtube!

[mainah05]

hey, wasn't she cathy in a production of The Last 5 Years?

[BlackwaterBud]

To see those videos, check the posts by justgrand21.

[cmcguigan470]

Whoah, AMAZING!

[nic1899]

I love watching her perform . amazing as usual

[gwentrent]

I NEVER get tired of watching this performance!!! She blows me away every time!!!  :)

[JazziA8]

I definitely have to agree: Colleen, you have an incredible talent that I really hope you take as far as it will let you; you definitely deserve it! I was browsing videos of Songs for a New World, disappointed with all of them, when I found this one, and I'd like to tell you that you are INCREDIBLE! All the best in your endeavors.

-A fellow performer

[ladeebear]

may i just say that this is an extremely hard song to do, and you've done it flawlessly. and i've seen other videos of you and you are excellent. i seriously hope you are pursuing a musical theatre career.

[megankrocks]

WORK IT.

Flawless.  :D

[freestyleraimz]

fantabulous. great job colleen!

[slkiernan42]

why is there tape all over your face??? it's very amateur

[sc0tlas]

Thanks for the encouragement. The sound equipment delivered was not as promised, and we needed tape. They were out of clear. I suppose a zero-budget, student-led, just-for-fun show could be called amateur. Except they didn't suck.

[lianaheartswicked]

amazing,, love it

[gwentrent]

Colleen...you totally blow me away every time I watch this! :)

[payette]

Why is everyone so afraid to say Fuck!

[BlackwaterBud]

Aargh, I have observed no such widespread fear.  On the other hand, some people exercise prudence regarding when they use certain words and phrases. Case in point, a prison shower and a Christian college stage are places to exercise such prudence.

[JazziA8]

I give a standing ovation to girls who can have the backbone to find a substitute word instead of cussing in front of an audience--especially when there are likely to be children present. In any case, even in private, cussing shows little class or refinement and I think Colleen deserves extra points for being classy and refined.

[payette]

ok but she didn't write the song. JRB wants it to be a certain way, and that's how it should be performed... OBVIOUSLY not with children present.

But class has nothing to do with it--- sing it the way its written.

[BlackwaterBud]

Wow, if people actually held your view we would all be singing, "Have yourself a merry little Christmas / It may be your last / Next year we may all be living in the past. Come on, people have been adapting lyrics as long as songs have been sung. This same song was adapted to aviod offense when "If the fates allow" was substituted for "If the Lord allows." JRB's own blog acknowledges the need to modify some of his lyrics because of peoples' sensibilities. So golly gee, lighten up, k?

[TheInfamousKev]

colleen, i think you're absolutly amazing! i saw you in the last five years and loved everything you did. as usual, you're amazing in this video. at the rate you're going, we'll see you on broadway soon (with any luck)!!!

[lightcorn]

I really hope we see more of you... Perhaps on Broadway... I love your LFY videos. Cathy often shrinks back next to Jaime, but you really brought her out. :D

[ceppygoes]

YES! Goodnight Cheapskate Good NIGGGGGHT! Fierce!

[mtguy123]

so FIERCE!

Your voice and acting blend seamlessly for a captivating and funny performance

[ohsinnaman]

i wish i could see your whole body...your facial expressions are awesome. oh! there it goes.

[MrsNathanLane]

I LOVE this song. You did an incredible job with it, too. Great band! Man. Hah.

-Leo

[sc0tlas]

Thanks, MrsNathanLane/Leo! The band is James Middleworth on bass, David Lamoureux on drums and me on piano. And Colleen did ok, too...

[MrsNathanLane]

That's awesome! What a terrific performance. :D

-Leo

[deadletters314]

Quite fabulous. That last note (I think it's a B if I remember correctly) gave me chills.

[NOVAQUA]

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

[randyalexander]

sensational!

[roxie1876]

did you play cathy in the last 5 years on here? cos if its you you are incredible!! but im sure you already knew that. lol

[psychosoprano]

hey! My name is Colleen and I played cathy in last five years... thanks for the compliment! :) you are so sweet! I get a lot of mixed reviews on all my youtube stuff... some people HATE me! lol! so its good to hear that I have a few youtube fans. :)

[13becca17]

i'm singing this song for vocal class right now, and its soo hard, but i love it

you are sooo talented!  i love your last note on "fly"! WOAH!! great job!!

[InTaberna]

AMAZING. Fantastic musicians as well.

[gwentrent]

love it

[hlundstedt]

brilliant
