"Rue plumet & In my Life" from "Les Miserables" Judy kuhn - Cosette Michael Ball - Marius Lea Salonga - Eponine The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by David Charles Abell
I love Cosette when portrayed the right way (not to say that there is a wrong way, I just mean in my own personal preference) I'm not crazy about the cutesy approach that so many Cosette's take and I often don't buy it when they sing about the love that they found. They usually are upstaged by Éponine. Judy is just incredible and puts a lot into the character :)
@@carladilisio4819 Not so fast! *Judy Kuhn* had _more_ to sing as *Pocahontas* ("Just Around the Riverbend," "Colors of the Wind," "If I Never Knew You," and bits of "Savages") than *Lea Salonga* had as *Jasmine* ("A Whole New World") or *Mulan* ("Reflection," bits of "Honor to Us All," and one line in "I'll Make a Man Out of You" and "A Girl Worth Fighting For"). So there. 😂
I think I like Katie Hall more as Cosette because she is more relatable as a silly, young teenager falling in love at first sight. Katie, to me, is just more believable. Although Judy's voice is just lovely.
@ExitSiign listen to david bryant sing it live and you wont say that, fortunately for you there isnt really any footage of david bryant live except for the tony awards in one day more
Judy Kuhn is really good, even though I used to prefer Rebecca, partly because her voice sounded pretty in the recording, but now she's using a LOT of vibrato. Ah well. Good Job!
The character of cosette kind of pissed me off (treasured girl who appreciated others, but not nearly enough), just cf with eponine ... :'(. Judy's interpretation to me, is a lot more palatable.
I don't wanna yuck anybody's yums, but I don't think that Judy was the best choice for Cosette. Judy is majorly talented don't get me wrong- but I feel like Cosette's archetypes were really abandoned in this production.. Cosette's tone is normally so light and youthful for a reason, it symbolizes her innocence and purity. Also hence why Cosette normally has light hair. Beautiful production nontheless, but could be confusing to viewers looking to read between the lines. Cosette's voice is a statement within itself, and it was denied here.
Also Judy Kuhn was the original Broadway Cosette. She does have a youthful tone--she just has good classical technique, which you actually need to sing this well.
