Stephanie (at age 15) - "I Dreamed a Dream"

[SingingDivaPrincess]

Hehe. Don't you love having videos from way back and seeing how much you've grown?

For what it's worth, this is still very well done.

You're head movements just remind me of Stevie Wonder...side to side. ^ ^

Love you!

[NarnianMermaidFaerie]

Oh, it really sucks that you couldn't post the whole thing, but what is here is freaking fantastic-holy-f*ucking-cow amazing! Like seriously! Not even being melodramatic, it's superb. I can't even put into words how wonderful it is.

[0RANGExI3ANDxGEEk]

Steph, I love you for this and Martin.

Haha

<3

[XiMaiKe]

I'm in love with your voice and all of your work!! And you're really pretty, too! You have it all!

[tessj12]

This is my favorite song from Les Miserable. Beautifully sung! Good job.

[Yogizuna]

Too bad the battery died, but it was still very good!!

[renethel]

Thanks!

[UveBeenLuPwned123094]

one more thing, if "this isn't your best" then if i heard your best, i'd probably orgasm.

[renethel]

AHAHAHAHAHA!

Patti's "Rose's Turn" has had orgasmic effects on me. LOL!

[UveBeenLuPwned123094]

hahahahahah when i saw it, i was afraid that afterwords i might have to change my pants..

[renethel]

Haha! You should tell her that, if you ever meet her. Her reaction would be priceless!

[UveBeenLuPwned123094]

i did meet her at the stage door, she was super nice, but i quite frankly, didn't have the balls to say something like that. haha. so i said "you were amazing!!" (while at the same time, shivering in excitement) and she said "oh THANK YOU darling!"

[renethel]

I went to a matinee, she didn't come out...so I kind of cried and went crazy....I'm not finishing that story. So ugly.

[UveBeenLuPwned123094]

i'd like to see you be fantine someday. you're such an amazing actress and you DEFS got the chops. boubil and schnoeberg (however it's spelt) would be proud :)

[renethel]

Oh my gosh, thank you! I really appreciate what you said. :D

[sayalessandra2]

That was lovely, you have such a beautiful voice!!5*******

[renethel]

Thank you! <3

[defygravity1215]

O. M. G. You always manage to amaze me. :D

[renethel]

Aw, thank you! :D

[mrbroadwaydork]

You're CRAZY to say "this isn't your best". This is AMAZING. I do not say that lightly. I cannot even believe how mature and gorgeous your voice is... seriously. I am not surprised that BROADWAY PRODUCED called you back for spring awakening, because you are a SERIOUS talent. Broadway, here comes Stephanie!

[renethel]

Aw you're too nice, Adam! Thank you so much!

Don't forget that you have an AMAZING voice!!!!!

[renethel]

Oh, well excuse me! LOL!

[renethel]

[renethel]

Yeah, this isn't my best! I think it's about time that I put this video to sleep. lol!

[renethel]

LOL! It's LITP! I'm not even wearing a frock.

[dawsongurl90]

It was. My dad was in Les Miz a long time ago & this is my third fave song from the show.

[renethel]

was he in Les Miz in a major production? who did he play?

[dawsongurl90]

He played Jean Valjean in Copenhagen.

[renethel]

WOW! That's awesome! Do you live in Denmark?

[dawsongurl90]

Yes, I do

[renethel]

I like Denmark b/c it's the setting for The Little Mermaid.

[dawsongurl90]

It is. I That was my favorite story as a kid.

[fjmg2003]

Woooooooooow I'm speechless

[renethel]

aww thank you!

[TheQueenOfMediocrity]

you sound beautiful! I actually like this better than the Ruthie Henshall one everyone keeps raving about.

[renethel]

wow thank you! that's a huge compliment and yet do love Ruthie's interpretation! :)

[ermerstudio]

Thought about auditioning to AI? You might go far. I got into the top 30 in Finnish Idol =) Check out my videos, also sent you a friend-request =)

[renethel]

THANKS! Honestly, I don't like American Idol anymore.

[Aaron08832]

Thanks for subscribing. I have watched a couple of your videos. You should give your voice teacher a raise, he/she did an awesome job. It is rare and nice to see well rounded performers.

[renethel]

lol thank you! actually I didn't work on this song w/my voice teacher, i worked on this song all by myself. but I learned a lot from my voice teachers, generally speaking. thanks again! :)

[melodiesofmemories]

Very nice. Loved it. Wish you could be Fantine in our production.

[akirenas]

wow! just amazing!!!!

[renethel]

Amazing job! This is one of my favorite songs and you more than did it justice. :)

[luisalubell]

[renethel]

thank you so much!

[luisalubell]

very good ... but why did you cut it off just when the song got to the powerful part?

[renethel]

my camera battery died, as it says in my description and i don't know anybody who can mail me the other clip....if someone even taped it as well.

[mrthatesyou]

It's a shame that the quality on this isn't better. You have a really gorgeous voice!

[renethel]

[sroberge]

[Keybladesora4]

wow...just...amazing...this is one of the songs were doing for marching band...our teacher said don't make this song like "i dreamed a NIGHTMARE!" lol...very good job,and i hope you get somewhere really good with that great voice :D

[renethel]

thank you! the marching band at my school happened to do this song too as part of the Les Mis medley. And for some reason, your comment was marked as spam b4 i approved it....i don't know why, but i thought i'd let you know. :-)

[Keybladesora4]

[mannamanahdududu]

[firehawk15]

I love Les Mis too. Awesome job!

[MorteReine]

Aww this was gorgeous! I love your voice, it's so smooth and professional. I wish I had the steady vibrato you have, mines wobbles all over the place.

[renethel]

thank you! :-)

[TiPerihelion]

Not only is your voice beautiful, but you have excellent stage presence. And you're gorgeous. AND you got to see Lea Salonga as Fantine! I'm hopelessly jealous!

[renethel]

thank you! i did see Lea Salonga as Fantine (on July 4th)! i specifically wanted to see her as Fantine, otherwise i wouldn't have seen the revival at all.

[songpidgeon]

that was beautiful!

[haydonobob]

wow...this is REALLY good...wow

[mizzfit24601]

You sound sorta like a young Lea Salonga. You have a gorgeous voice. I would LOVE to hear you sing "On My Own"! Good luck with everything!

[renethel]

thank you so much! I LOVE Lea Salonga. In fact, i'm seeing her tomorrow (July 4th, my 16th B-Day) in Les Mis! i'm really excited. i might put up On My Own, if ever get a chance to sing it! thanks again! :-)

[mizzfit24601]

I saw Lea in Les Mis as Fantine. AMAZING. Best Fantine EVER.

[renethel]

i just saw her yesterday for my B-Day! She really is the best Fantine EVER! and i got to meet Lea too! She was so nice!

[bubbloo24]

Beautiful :) xx

[TheManAboutTown]

wow, i began watching this expecting some crappy singing.. hahaha no offense! but you're amazing!! i wish that it was the whole clip too :[

[jerzeyqt4evah]

You seriously need to sign a contract with Disney or something, because your voice has Disney Princess written all over it!

[renethel]

wow, thanks! i never thought that i sounded like that lol!

[linemor92]

No! She is waaaay better then all of the Disney girls! Totally amazing!

[RustyErin]

Steph this is amazing! :)

[LaughHappy]

our version is astounding, i heard it straight after i did mine, your amazing. Have you ever done singing/tenique lessons?

i am gonna do another now! :)

[renethel]

thank you LaughHappy! I've been taking private vocal lessons for 2yrs. 2yrs isn't really that long at all, but it was a now or never kind of situation lol. good luck w/ur new vid.

[orca1142]

Wow, I'm blown away by your voice. I wish I could sing like you.

[misspascal101]

I'm crying for two reasons

1. ur voice is beautiful

2. those damn batteries ruined the moment!

but mostly number 1

[renethel]

thank you so much! ugh...those damn batteries lol!

[anthonyonline405]

Congrats on a tough(good) performance.

[jamesicoburn]

lovely! so wish i heard the last 16 bars!!!!!!!!!

[renethel]

aww thanks! i need to hunt down my friend who has the full clip and see if it can be uploaded. thanks for listening! :-)

[policron]

Hi steph...thanks for share your videos with me, and thanks for send the mesage in spanish! and...well!

Your voice is very amazing, sweet and sure. i'll be waiting for the complete version of I dream a dream!

The next time check the batteries before your show!

♪♪♫♫♫♪♫♪♫ 8→)

[renethel]

haha lol, i'll check my batteries next time! :-)

[vellure]

I wish you had the full clip. That was beautiful.

[renethel]

thank u vellure! i know someone else who has the clip, so i'll try to post that! ;-P

[Shaynaq]

Dude, your voice is beautiful!

So I was reading your dream part list---I want to be Christine and Eponine too! And I just played Miss Dorothy a few months ago...but I really wanted to be Millie.

[renethel]

lol, i think every girl wants to be Christine and Eponine hehe :-)! yanno...i saw u more as a Millie Dilmount too!

[Shaynaq]

Ha yeah I know, I feel so cliche!

But thanks! Too bad you hadn't been there to play Dorothy...I almost got millie but no one else could hit dorothy's high notes.

[renethel]

lol thanks! what i thought would of made u you a good millie was that u could make a "crazy millie"...like a wacky funny version of the character which i'm waiting to see. i've seen way too many bad productions of the show so, probably made ur production awesome with those A's and C's Dorothy has to sing lol! :-)

[Shaynaq]

as a matter of fact, the girl who plays elphaba in my popular video was millie. go figure.

[Tenorboy29307]

Ah. Well, you know, you may consider this last minute ,but this is very good singing for a 15 year old. I checked out your other files as well. Keep up the great work. You seem to really be focusing on the total package. Best wishes!

[Tenorboy29307]

How old are you? Just curious about where you are in terms of your training.

[renethel]

hi tenorboy29307! i'm 15 (turning 16 in July). i have a private vocal coach, but i'm probably switching teachers b/c i need someone equally strong in opera and in musical theater. i did this song last minute, so i had little time to work on technique (oops). :-)

[chrispycrunchy86]

Stephanie,

that was beautiful!

thank you so much for sharing it with me...

I wish I could have been there... w00t-woot!
