Maddie Cooney, 16 yr old vocalist, singing "On My Own" as Eponine from a performance of Les Miserables in Plainfield, Illinois. The quality of the video isn't great, but in person, she had the audience in tears.
Her actions were way too literal, and she seemed more like a spastic contemporary teenager than a heartbroken girl in the middle of turmoil. But that might be more the director's fault- either for directing her that way, or not stopping it when she did it naturally.
Her actual singing was decent... But when it comes to the belting portions- people would rather hear someone hit (and sustain) a lovely controlled tone, than hear them "scream" out a belted "note" for mere shock value.
