COMPLAINTE DE LA BUTTE

This was for our Advanced Musical Theatre Class performance. Everyone sang different songs and this is the one that I did.
The song is 'Complainte de la Butte' which you may recognize from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. That version was sung by the lovely Rufus Wainwright, and I hope that my version did it justice. I really enjoyed doing this song and I feel like it was just right. Thank you to Michael Martinez for suggesting it, and for playing the music, and for working with all of the changes.

(psssst. if you speak French or know this song really well don't tell me I screwed up. I know I did, and I don't need to know from anyone else.)

Well the vowels are a little short, and you don't have enough breath support (for the higher notes). But the pronounciation of the french was pretty good. Overall a nice performance.

you have a nice voice!! don't worry about the French- think more about what the song means and conveying that emotion by creating light and shade with your voice

Your french is really good (along with your performance by the way ), and your "r"s perfect ! Which I think for Americans is the hardest thing to get right ;)
