Jennifer Nettles - "What Baking Can Do" 

Agreed.

Omfg!!! I thought I was the only one who noticed it, it’s so small but it adds so much to the performance

I was also there last Sunday! Huge standing O after "She Used to be Mine." I've seen plenty of Broadway shows with iconic solo numbers but never seen such a huge standing ovation afterwards, especially when it's not right before intermission.

47

@@ma-gz9ue wow, wouldn't tell

Far too old to play the part. LoL

@@carr0760 ah yes, because 47 year old's don't get pregnant 🙄

@@AlexHurleyMusic I never said anything about being pregnant. I said she's too old for the role. There are literally lines in the show that reference her being significantly younger. "You remind me of a girl I once knew. God, by now she's well in middle age. Probably 41 or 42. *Offended* "huh, thank you...?" "Oh god no....no no no.* This exchange wouldn't happen if she was middle age or older. The character breakdown describes her as 20s-30s. There is a reason that nearly every actress to play the role was in their late 20s to mid 30s.

She moved the table a measure early, I think. “Something I never got the chance to ask her about” (cross and stop) “so with flour on my hands” {at least from bootlegs I’ve seen 😬}

@@Joliepolieolie got it ty!!!

She botched the melody and the entire line was flat.

@@carr0760 I'm sick of your hate comments. You are wrong, please stop it. I get that you don't like her, but I'm also not bashing your hairdresser just because he botched your hairstyle. It's about the respect you don't have.

@@antheiheiant This isn't even bashing her. This is answering a question . Why did she apologise there? Because she botched the melody and was flat. That's just a statement of fact. It's what happened. She knows it happened because she apologised after doing it. Are you her sister or something? You're awfully sensitive to comments about her. Do you need a hug? You seem to be having a rough day.

No, it's in the original key. She opts down, and slows down and simplifies all of the riffs. She also sings a completely different melody on "she is lonely" in She Used to be Mine. She avoids the "high note" completely. I use quote because it isn't even remotely high. She doesn't have the vocal chops for the part. At all.

Okay, that's what’s throwing me off! Thank you for clarifying, Like I said she's an amazing singer, I think my ear was expecting to hear the same riffs and when I didn't I was like what happened

@@evanbole4196 you're welcome. I actually teach musical theatre, so my ear is trained to notice exactly what's going on. I do think that she's a great country singer (though I'm not personally a country fan), but she does not have a Broadway calibre voice (or the acting skills), and she clearly lacks the range and agility for this particular part. That is particularly surprising because as Broadway vocals go Jenna isn't all that hard...the range is quite contained.

@@carr0760 I saw her live and you're completely wrong. As someone who "teaches" musical theatre I expect you to encourage your students to see someone's complete portrayal of a character before passing judgment based off online clips. Get a grip. You sound bitter and miserable.

@@seanrstephens I would use this clip to show my students an example of what a performance looks like when you don't pour your whole self into it. What it looks like when you don't connect with the material, and therefore your audience can't connect. Then I would show them a clip of literally any other person to play Jenna as an example of what happens when you do those things. This is an exceptional learning opportunity. And by the way, I've clearly seen more than one clip given that I referenced an entirely different song in my earlier comment. I will also add that I don't live anywhere near Broadway so neither me or my students have the privilege of getting to see these performances in person. As is the case with the vast majority of the world's population. Perhaps before squawking at someone to reserve judgement until seeing the entire thing in person you should consider the obvious privilege behind that statement.

Yeah, I'm reporting your comments. Classic troll.

@@antheiheiant There is literally nothing reportable in what I have said. LoL Someone needs to learn how to handle opinions they don't like.

@@carr0760 Idk bullying is a thing you know.

@@antheiheiant you need to learn the definition of bullying. Stating an opinion isn't it.

​@@carr0760 And that definition would be? I'd say you tick all the marks.
