Phillipa Soo sings "No One Else" from Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 as part of the in-store CD signing celebrating the cast recording at New York City's Barnes & Noble, Tuesday, December 10, 2013.
I was so surprised that no one was clapping or anything when Dave Malloy said Phillipa Soo and than I remembered that this was before most people knew who she was and that's weird
She is such an intense and passionate Natasha. Both Denee and Pippa are wonderful but I feel like Denee softens it and makes it more a dreamy song and Pippa makes it feel like strong passionate happiness. That's what makes both versions so unique. Both Pippa and Denee are amazing singers. There's no need to compare. Their versions are unique and gorgeous.
Alba I know right it’s so hard to compare both versions because they’re both wonderful and both singers took a different take on it and the way they acted it out is different like with Pippa she saw it as intense happiness and is very passionate but Denee is Kinda it’s soft and very dreamy
Hamilton was in 2015 but I think if he did see this for me personally I might have made her Angelica because of her belt. Honestly she could have done either of them
ANISSA HOTOMANI i agree because she can be powerful but she can also be calm and controlled which i think fits elizas so well especially the way angelica explains elizas character
it's because of the narrowing of the aryepiglottic sphincter, that she's doing. it gives her ring and boosts the frequency of her voice. it's a "mic" for her voice. it's what's used to sound like a "rock belt"
It's a really hard note too for some reason. It feels really high. I'm actually surprised it's just an E. I thought it was at least an F, maybe a G by the way it felt.
@@lexyrose8228 It's probably because of this video (though Lin-Manuel Miranda seems to have picked up the expression somewhere previously) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9eWdjsKy_bE.html
Her interpretation of this song is fascinating. You'd imagine that the actress would act happiness. Here we've got longing. It's really complex acting. Amazing.
me too!!!! my friends and i we're telling each other which broadway star we sound like and they though i sound most like pippa!! i cannot belt like her i can't belt high at all sooo
The way she transitions from soprano to fake belt, to extremely healthy real belt is truly a showcase of how perfect her technique is. It literally has no flaws, yet she still sounds so undeniably human. She really is the moon goddess!!!!!
I remember Lin saying Eliza’s songs didn’t do justice to Pippa’s range and I couldn’t agree more because wow THE "I love you, I love you, I love, I love you..." PART GAVE ME BUTTERFLIES IN MY STOMACH THE PASSION I FEEL IN THOSE WORDS ARE JUST CHEF KISSES
This girl is perfect. Do you want me to list the amazing things? 1. She doesn't fiddle with her mic the whole time. She knows what to do with her hands 2. She did such a great job with her mixing 3. She can sing so well in such a healthy way 4. She's interacting with the fans while she sings 5. SHE SANG SO AMAZINGLY AND BEAUTIFULLY! 6. Her diction is on point! Btw these are all coming from a singer like her so I know what I am saying.
All things I noticed as a singer! Especially the "childlike eyes" line. The vowels are all the same so keeping the consonants sharp is so important and she did it wonderfully.
NATASHA The moon - First time I heard your voice Moonlight burst into the room And I saw your eyes And I saw your smile And the world opened wide And the world was inside of me And I catch my breath And I laugh and blush And I hear guitars You are so good for me I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you Oh the moon Oh the snow in the moonlight And your childlike eyes And your distant smile I'll never be this happy again You and I And no one else We've done this all before We were angels once Don't you remember? Joy and life Inside our souls And nobody knows Just you and me It's our secret This winter sky How can anyone sleep? There was never such a night before! I feel like putting my arms round my knees And squeezing tight as possible And flying away Like this... Oh the moon Oh the snow in the moonlight And your childlike eyes And your distant smile I'll never be this happy again You and I You and I You and I And no one else Maybe he'll come today Maybe he came already And he's sitting in the drawing room And I simply forgot
Briana Taylor I think people don't credit mixing as much as someone who only belts during a song - I think mixing reflects more skill and control than just solely belting! Amazing
Now I understand why Lin Manuel MIranda was so determined to cast her as Eliza after seeing her in this show (which I had never heard of.) If she was giving performances like this, it makes perfect sense. What a hauntingly beautiful melody.
she sings with so much emotion it's unbelievable. like even without watching her facial expressions you can just hear it in her music. it's absolutely breathtaking, Pippa sings this 1 song with more emotion than I've felt all year lmao
JazzberryProductions Well, I believe she's 26 and if this was recorded on 12/10/13 like the title says that would make her 23 at the time.. So, a year younger than me lol my bad xD
I love the difference between Pippa and Denee’s take on Natasha. Pippa’s version is longing and heart struck while Denee is more childish and giddy with love. You can see this both in their acting and their singing and I love it
Seeing this exactly 10 years later, having just learned this song and being a massive fan of Phillipa Soo, I feel like this was RU-vid being an absolute genius lol As always I am astounded by her voice and her singing this has helped me with my own personal performance and choices with this song. Thanks RU-vid, this was a very good call
I'm in love with this video. She is so lovely - she has such a gorgeous vulnerable, innocent, joyful quality. It's just beautiful to watch. She really is talented.
I commented on this video four years ago after absolutely falling in love with it, as probably most of you did. Maybe some of you can relate also to the path it led me on: after watching it, I listened to all of NP&TGC. A couple years later, I read War and Peace. After that, I read a bunch of Tolstoy's short stories and Anna Karenina (a somewhat bleak quarantine read...) All of this influenced my growth as a writer and thinker, and also, simply, as a person. The most fun thing, though, was to learn No One Else. I'm a classical singer, and for a while, this was my "show piece". And now, four years later, I learned to sing it and accompany myself on the piano, which feels like an absolute gift. and it is on my baby channel, because of course it is. :D
