I think this girl has a good voice, and it takes a lot of courage to sing anything for an audience.

While I was intrigued by this interpretation of a very famous song (how can anyone compete with Judy Garland?), however, I felt the variations in styles were distracting from her performance--it's too jarring, and even worse, feels like a mockery of the song itself at times.

This is clearly not the girl's fault--it's the director's. Hopefully, next time she sings, she'll have a better director.

Hey guys, just listen to the crowd though! The director did know what he was doing and it was priceless to watch Morgan go acting throughout this whole "talent showcase" without singing and then when it was her turn, she starts out sweet, as most would suspect, then she tore it up.

Lastly, she totally respects the song and listens to the original almost every night.

Thanks for listening, commenting and stay tuned for more vocals and dance from Morgan!

THE KID IS GOOD,BUT

WHAT A WAY TO SLAP A GREAT SONG IN THE FACE .

WHO EVER WOULD DO THAT TO A GREAT SONG?

THAT WAS WORSE THEN GOSPLEIZING IT.(MY PHRASE)

SHAME.

AND THE IGNOANT PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO BE MUSIC LOVERS LAUGH AND GIGGLE AT IT.

YA, I KNOW, IT'S FUN.

THAT WAS DISASTER

@FSAVKO by the way she is nine how did you sing when you were ten send us a video and during this she was sick with a badbad cold

[LeniInChains]

don't really like it

[irish4hd]

different strokes for different folks... i guess....

[lalagirl572]

seriosly ur better than most grown ups

[rlueke44]

That is really impressive with the dual threat acting and singing and the composure... even the other people in the show could not hold it together. WELL DONE CUZ!

she has a great voice, but even though this version is appealing to the crowd, i don't feel that this song should be changed up in such a way. Otherwise, she is amazing and her voice sounds mature plus she looks like she is a great actor.

This little girl has an amazing voice. just remember she is a child and I loved every minute of he singing.. Brovo

[jmusic05]

Did anyone watch the scene before the song. It's obviously not the show which mean character is out the window. This was obviously for some sort of talent night or cabaret. Stop shooting her down and enjoy the performance for what it is.

[JestRock]

What a powerful voice, and it's clear she's got soul. I look forward to hearing her express it genuinely, out of a school play context. Go Morgan!

[britbabe648]

The director ought to be shot for letting an innocent girl unknowingly butcher a song like that. Sure she is talented, but it does not fit the style of the show, the context, or the character AT ALL. If she wants to sing like that she's better off in a cabaret. There's a time and place, people!

[CarpeDiemSanDiego]

Morgan is a great singer, but her vocal coach needs to pick a style not use everything in the same song. Preferably the cute young little girl, not the "old lady" gospell singer. Both sound great for seperate songs but switching back and forth makes cute little Morgan look as if she is possesd. What was the director of this play thinking?

[milllerhr]

when did Dorothy get a maid? 

[shakinthebushboss]

I would say this song took the idea of story telling away from the show and made it about how a girl (good voice or not) can mimic a torch song.

An amusing video about how star statis has become more important than teamwork among actors as well as the importance of story telling.
