Yah. The song doesn't NEED choreography, i agree. But every directing team is different and has a different vision. The song begins on a note of desperation and longing with just a few of them standing alone. The Nubian people slowly begin to join her as they regain hope. She is inspiring her people to untie and stand as one. As they all move in unison, a triangle is formed with Aida at the point, leading her people to victory. It woulda been kinda boring to just copy the original, yah know?

You better SANG girl!!

[hanielas]

what an awesome voice!

[katerbean]

[KatieeConway]

as you've heard, this song is made into a joke when you add choreography. its too powerful and has too much meaning . ill try to upload a video of my cast.

[MattMadnessTV]

I dont beleive fuckin interpretive dance is part of the script...

[Daymien]

she sounds good....but the choreography? REALLY!!!! why would you do that, it took away from the heart and meaning of how the song is suppose to be

[thecostumer]

omg - she is amazing. I wish there was a video of my Aida doing this. I'll have to hunt.

[TerribleGreenBlizzrd]

that apar was breathtaking

[adamklesh]

concept of choreography does not fit the story nor the song at all. that poor talented as hell girl singing her butt off is lost in a children of eden esque cluster f*@$. either way she sang her butt off shame on producer director and choreographer for that mess on stage....Girl You Keep SAAAAAANGING!!!!
