Why not? His job is his lfe (considering the married life he had beforehand) Too bad OUR music director didn't have any of US featured in her wedding and reception!
I was DEAD when Emma was like “I won’t survive” then sue was like “don’t say that to Will he will have you singing a strip down acoustic version of I will survive in a choir room full of teenagers with mindful looks on their faces” gotta love sue
Sondheim is a genius because he chose those specific words to be easy to say really fast :) lots of short consonants and short words that don't waste a lot of breath. and they're clever! This song is all about breath control not so much being able to move your mouth fast enough, the words take care of that for you!
Omg she has so much range like when I saw her on Ugly Betty as Charlie, a character so different to Emma, it’s amazing how much range she has as an actress and singer. She deserves more recognition.
Wait a minute, so you're telling me Glee had the AUDACITY to say Giants in the Sky is one of the hardest Sondheim songs when they literally performed getting married today??!
That line never made any sense to me, unless they were trying to impress us with Jesse's past audition song. Giants In The Sky is a gorgeous song, but it's hardly *that* difficult.
Jayma is amazing in this song and damn Amber's voice is gorgeous! Love Matthew's voice anyway and Jane absolutely kills me how good she is at being completely non-chalant 😂
Today is for Emma Emma, I give you the rest of my life To cherish and to keep you To honor you forever Today is for Emma My happily soon-to-be wife Emma, we're really getting married! [Emma:] Pardon me Is everybody there? Because if everybody's there I want to thank you all for coming to the wedding I'd appreciate your going even more I mean you must have lots of better things to do And not a word of this to Will Remember Will, you know, the man I'm gonna marry But I'm not Because I wouldn't ruin anyone as wonderful as he is But I thank you all For the gifts and the flowers Thank you all Now it's back to the showers Don't tell Will But I'm not getting married today [Mercedes:] Bless this day Tragedy of life Husband yoked to wife The heart sinks down and feels dead This dreadful day [Will:] Emma, I can't find my good cuff-links [Emma:] They're on the dresser Right next to my suicide note Listen, everybody, look I don't know what you're waiting for A wedding, what's a wedding It's a prehistoric ritual Where everybody promises fidelity forever Which is maybe the most horrifying word I ever heard of Which is followed by a honeymoon Where suddenly he'll realize He's settled with a nut And wanna kill me, which he should So, thanks a bunch But I'm not getting married Go have lunch 'Cause I'm not getting married You've been grand But I'm not getting married Don't just stand there I'm not getting married And don't tell Will But I'm not getting married today Go, can't you go? Why is nobody listening? Goodbye Go and cry At another person's wake If you're quick For a kick You could pick Up a Christening But please On my knees There's a human life at stake! Listen everybody I'm afraid you didn't hear Or do you want to see a crazy lady fall apart in front of you It isn't only Will, who may be ruining his life You know we'll both of us be losing our identities I telephoned my analyst about it and he said to see him Monday But by Monday I'll be floating in the Hudson with the other garbage I'm not well So I'm not getting married You've been swell But I'm not getting married Clear the hall 'Cause I'm not getting married Thank you all But I'm not getting married And don't tell Will But I'm not getting married today [Mercedes:] Bless this bride Totally insane Slipping down the drain And bless this day in our hearts As it starts to rain [Will:] Today is for Emma [Emma (Will):] Go, can't you go? Look, you know (Emma) I adore you all (I give you) But why (The rest of) Watch me die (My life) Like Eliza on the ice? (To cherish) Look, perhaps (And to keep you) I'll collapse In the apse Right before you all So take (To honor you) Back the cake (Forever) Burn the shoes and boil the rice (Today is for Emma) Look, I didn't wanna have to tell you (My happily) But I may be coming down with Hepatitis (Soon-to-be) And I think I'm gonna faint (Wife) So if you wanna see me faint I'll do it happily (My adorable) But wouldn't it be funnier to go and watch a funeral (Wife) So thank you for the twenty-seven dinner plates Thirty-seven butter knives Forty-seven paperweights Fifty-seven candle holders [Will:] One more thing [Emma:] I am not getting married! [Mercedes:] Amen! [Will:] Softly said [Emma:] But I'm not getting married! [Mercedes:] Amen! [Will:] With this ring [Emma:] Still I'm not getting married! [Mercedes:] Amen! [Will:] I thee wed. [Emma:] See, I'm not getting married! [Mercedes:] Amen! [Will and Emma:] Let us pray [Will (Emma):] That we are getting married (That I'm not getting married) [Will and Emma with the Wedding Guests:] Today!
@@hotdog0275of course this was lip sync lol, this a Tv show, but the actress actually sang this in the record studio, I bet she had the opportunity to do the verses in separate time lapses but her rendition of the song and how she portrayed it with her character and her personality still is amazing
Jayma is excellent here! I’ve never seen this before. She sings it well and performs it great! Also why was so much of it cut? I would have loved to hear Amber sing more of the soprano part - never heard her sing like that before - it was beautiful! Shame they cut so much of it.
this is so intense. i cant hell but hold my breathe everytime. even the “amen” i feel so tense with them staring at me like that for a short second ?????
I think it's because we're comparing it to actresses who have performed it live in actual productions of Company, who have performed the song remarkably well. Personally, I find that when the vocalist is pushing themselves to keep a pace like that I appreciate it more than hearing a seriously sped up version that was modified because it was far too fast for the singer.
If they had performed the actual number at the pace it's meant to be at, it isn't as difficult to sing. However it's for a television show and viewers wouldn't have the patience for the songs at its usual length as amazing as it is. There's also the fact that perhaps they didn't have time for the 4 minute song.
I think if you're going to do the song you might as well doing it true to the song, it's like having a song with a famous long note and the singer not actually holding it and editing it together.
Jayma Mays was great at this song. My fav part: Will: Let us pray that we are getting married today! Emma: Let us pray that we're not getting married today! 2:12
OMG The Shuester has an amazing singing voice, Emma can rap better than Eminem, and Mercedes sings so beautifully here! I don't know the actors/actresses who portray them, but I gotta give them credit for that!
… Pardon me, is everybody here? Because if everybody's here I'd like to thank you all For coming to the wedding. I'd appreciate you going even more I mean, you must have lots of better things to do And not a word of it to Paul Remember Paul? You know, the man I'm going to marry But I'm not, because I wouldn't ruin anything As wonderful as he is. Thank you all for the gifts and the flowers, Thank you all, now it's back to the showers Don't tell Paul, but I'm not getting married today.
I love how Jamya was able to sing this song as great as she did. I am curious though how hard it must have been for her to sing the first time she tried it. But here she killed it in the best way possible
