It is so cool the transition of her voice. She started with a whole ton of talent in her voice, but very little experience. Lloyd webber said it when he told her that she had the chest voice with no roof. She struggled with the transition between head and chest voice during songs in the competition but now with all this experience, her range as increased and you can't hear that transition at all. She has such an amazing career ahead of her.
I love Sam soooooooo much!! I was at the O2 for the 25th anniversary, she was phenomenal! Even now when I watch on my own again I still get goosebumps! :')
Lots of people I know saying John was harsh for saying that to her, but I utterly think it helped her massively in her career she was good before but when John pushed her to show emotion etc it really brought out her true talent
i agree! especially because now, she's amazing at showing emotion. Personally i think John was a bit harsh, but that's because he saw all of her potential.
To think that she was 17 in I'd Do Anything... as a 17 year old Singer/Actress/sort of dancer it makes me work that much harder when I do shows and concerts. And of course, makes me realize how ridiculous my life is compared to hers, but it's not good to compare, so... :)
Joined the party late. Fell in love with her after seeing her as Elsa in Frozen west end. The energy and mystery she brought to Queen Elsa is just amazing. Love her voice!
This video is truly inspirational to any young aspiring actors on the Isle of Man. I have met Sam on a couple of occasions and watch her perform here at home. She is an honest hard working girl who appreciates her good fortune and remains grounded. Her performance as Eponine in the stage performance was out of this world and it's no wonder she was chosen for the movie. I wish this Manx Maid great success in the future.
Sam is amazing. She is so talented and beautiful. She deserves all that has happened to her so far, and more. She is my role model and my idol. I love you Sam!
An amazing video! Well done, really flows well and has lots of footage I hadn't seen before. Samantha Barks seems like one of the most genuinely sweet people in the entire world, and ridiculously good looking - she's amazing!
well done =) Samantha is such an incredible person and to see her progress in this video just shows how much she has improved in such a short period of time... she had greatness within her all along and it just needed the nudge. she is pure talent and brilliance and obviously completely stunning!
For my schools variety show I’m gonna audition with on my own and I honestly hope I can be at least half as good as she is. I was starting to give up on my dream of being an actress but Sam makes me want to change my mind. I love Sam and her performance as Éponine so much.
Ok this is going to be long; sam, im sorry to burst your bubble but i live in the u.s. In the state of south carolina. The town i live in is called ware shoals.and its not only unknown to the world but even the boardering cities have never heard of it. I heard about the isle of man way befor i ever heard of you. I would now like to thank you. You make kids like me feel like they have got a chance. As for me i hope to go to england. I hope to meet you oneday and be on the west end. ;-)
I love the editing and presentation here! I can't do that but do have a playlist of some other roles and songs. There are a lot on RU-vid but searches don't show them all. Once you click on some of these you will be able to see more similar videos too. There are some with Russell Crowe, etc. in 2012 and '14 and also a link to a song from her first Broadway leading role in Pretty Woman (2018-9) and Chess (in Japan) which she finished just before the pandemic quarantine in 2020. ru-vid.com/group/PLP2qCefPkwLwEj3oRhu9vmCZqzadYMSgj
You will never sound horrible. Me on the other hand. Well im ok... Im still perfecting my "pipes". Great american accent. My cousin said you sounded like jennifer lawrence (an american actress).
Sorry i know im commenting as if im talking to her but who cares. Abd be greatful you have a theatre near. The town i live in consists of a gas station,a post office,and a few houses. The nearest theatre is 95 miles from my house. And im homeschooled.
she is a good singer. l love her vioce and love her performance in Les Miserables. She is my favourite character in this movie. I think she is a little bit like Miley Cyrus.
If you don't get why fans of Sam would take a comparison to Miley Cyrus as being offensive I don't know what to say. I get where you are coming from a little bit but to call the OP bitchy is a lot more over the top than her response.
Well, considering that the songs were recorded live and Taylor can't stay on pitch long enough to get through a verse, I don't think it would have worked out. Besides, her voice, though good, is too pop-ish to fit into Les Mis, and I don't find her acting abilities especially moving... In fact, I don't think she could act to save her life.
