I love the decision to cast her as Belle. I think it was very groundbreaking and opened a lot of doors for people who probably normally wouldn't get cast a certain role because of how they look. This is what art's all about. love it.

A very good performance. THE COMPOSERS of the show liked her so much that they WROTE THIS SONG FOR HER AND ADDED IT TOO THE SHOW so all of you broadway traditionalist and people complaining about race sit down . this was the almighty dollar and some casting agent thought she would work and she did so let it go

Good, but not quite as great as Ashley Brown.

I don't understand how anyone can dislike her performance of this song when it was written for her and was only supposed to be in the show for her run but was perminately added

@kg41390 She totally does the Whitney Houston I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU riff!

I like that they added a song just for her, its also interesting to see a black Belle though tbh it'd only work on broadway where we're more willing to suspend disbelief. Given the film is set in roughly the 1800s in provincial France Belle being black would add in all sorts of latent racism though that could be an interesting spin to the story too.

Either way this is absoloutely terrific.

What key did she sing this in? She's alot lower then most other Belles, which is good because I can't sing very high either.

I believe she sang the song beautifully, but its was much too much like a song on the radio than a broadway production. She supposed to be Belle, not Toni Braxton in a Belle dress singing like Toni Braxton. I think I would have been dissapointed if I saw it. And people who think I'm saying that because of race its not true at all, I just saw a production with an Africian American Belle and she blew it out of the water. I just don't think Toni played the part well.

I wonder how many people here actually SAW her on Broadway. It's been over 10 years and I STILL remember it. Compared to what she did on that stage, she sounds like crap here. The song was written for her and she owned it.
