Sierra Boggess singing I Have Confidence from BBC Proms 2010 

She's one of the only people who could sing with any accuracy that style of musical and show tune with the classical polish that the mid 20th century sought. She's a proper gem.

I love how sincere Sierra is in her performance. She always puts so much effort to make it the best she can. It makes her that much more of a beautiful actress and singer.

I never get tired of that voice of hers.

I love how I can tell that she smoothly transitions between chest and head voice instead of belting or forcing notes

Wow! May be the only non-Julie version I approve of.

This girl is a natural beauty with a fantastic voice WOW!!!

When you wake up, WAKE UP! Haha classic Sierra and beautiful as always.

Now i am picturing her as maria. the role would suit her well. Bravo

Absolutely beautiful performance! Her personality shines through and the personality of Maria in the Sound of Music.

LETS JUST CAST SIERRA BOGGESS AS THE LEADING LADY IN EVERY PRODUCTION, K?

Wow! She knocked it out of the park!

I love how the audience chuckled at her "Oh help"

It's unbelievable. She's PERFECT.

The first person ever (In my opinion) to ever sing this song as well as Julie Andrews! I love you, Sarah 😘

Love Sierra!! Wish she was cast in NBC's recent production of the "Sound of Music Live." She would have been fabulous in her portrayal as Maria :)

this song gives me life 💕 I LOVE Sierra's voice

SUCH beautiful voice and face and personality and ughhh. I love her.

She's like the Meryl Streep of Broadway. She could play Batman and she'd still be perfect for that role.

This version is fabulous, so much feeling an ' confidence' love the finish! perfecto!

Absolutely beautiful !

To all of those Carrie Underwood worshippers, this is how it is REALLY done.

Why did they chose Carrie Underwood in the first place again?? i mean... we have Sierra... and she's perfect!

She is just incredible!!!!

I had a job enterview today and I has this song in my head during the whole thing and it made me feel better

So expressive! I adored her!

That was awesome Sierra is awesome and I just ugh it was awesome. 😳

She is wonderful, a gift! What an artist, I love Sierra art !

WOW SHES AN AMAZING SINGER 😱😍

John Wilson orchestra is always SUPER.

She's an absolute treasure love her.👏👏👏

This is how maria should be portrayed. Not in a carrie underwood's style

Beautifully clear voice with a great range❣️

I have to give Sierra props for singing the entire song just as it was in the film and in the same key. That is, compared to that chopped up version sung by Connie Fisher in the 2006 revival. I'm never a fan of chopping up and shortening songs for musical revivals.

She has such a beautiful voice

Boom!! So fantastic!!!

This is like the only person who is second to Julie

Absolutely fabulous.Wonderful handling vocal style ,technique, and lyrics. This is how is SHOULD be done.Thank you.

Absolutely Fabulous Sierra ❤️

My absolute favorite singer ever!!!! Sierra stole that spot from celine.....so that really shows how truly amazing she is!!! I woldve cired like a baby to see her in POTO. Lifetime dream....*sighs*

Here I am thinking I'm a pretty good singer and then all of a sudden I hear her sing and I'm at rock bottom.... She is just amazing!!

Wow, she's so good

She should've played Maria.

What a beauty !

ok Broadway revival of Sound of Music with her as Maria needs to happen...This was amazing...And Sound of Music is one of my all time favorite musicals!!

i didn't really like this song before, but she made it so fun and powerful

Agree this is how it is done

Oh my god she is incredible!

With Sierra, you need to close your eyes and enjoy her awesomeness.

Exquisite! Sierra is a goddess!

Sierra's look at the final second of this vid: "F**king nailed it"!

She did justice to this.

i love sierra Boggess😍😍😍

Remains one of my favourite things

I swear, her voice is of an *angel*

ALL I CAN HEAR IS 'I BELIEVE' FROM THE BOOK OF MORMON!

Sierra i love you❤️

Great performance!

Brilliant and Beautiful! So much expression!

Excellent performance!

What will this day be like? I wonder. What will my future be? I wonder. It could be so exciting, To be out in the world, To be free! My heart should be wildly rejoicing. Oh, what's the matter with me? I've always longed for adventure, To do the things I've never dared. Now here I'm facing adventure Then why am I so scared? A captain with seven children What's so fearsome about that? Oh, I must stop these doubts, All these worries. If I don't I just know I'll turn back! I must dream of the things I am seeking. I am seeking the courage I lack. The courage to serve them with reliance, Face my mistakes without defiance. Show them I'm worthy And while I show them I'll show me! So, let them bring on all their problems, I'll do better than my best. I have confidence They'll put me to the test! But I'll make them see I have confidence in me. Somehow I will impress them. I will be firm, but kind. And all those children Heaven bless them They will look up to me And mind me! With each step I am more certain, Everything will turn out fine. I have confidence, The world can all be mine! They'll have to agree I have confidence in me. I have confidence in sunshine, I have confidence in rain. I have confidence that spring will come again! Besides what you see I have confidence in me. Strength doesn't lie in numbers. Strength doesn't lie in wealth, Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers, When you wake up, wake up! It's healthy! All I trust I leave my heart to, All I trust becomes my own! I have confidence in confidence alone. I have confidence in confidence alone! Besides, which you see, I have confidence in me!

amazing!

And they still chose Carrie Underwood for the remake... *shakes head and tisks tongue*

Incredible.

Sang it like she OWNED it. Bravo! Tough job to do in the Julie Andrews shadow, but she nailed it!

She's my idol , and always will be .

Well done Christine, well done! Brava!

she can sing and shes pretty...Im struggling the urge to not envy her ;)

Just realized I believe is a parody of this song.. Wow

Perfection.

No belting needed, see? Sierra Bogess is a treasure!!

PER-FEC-TION

WOW!

Magical

Sierra Boggess is the Truth!

Love Sierra! :-)

I am seeing Katnis Everdeen at fist glance. :)

she'd make a perfect maria on Broadway/the west end!

You know sometimes whenever I am watching a video of something Sierra Boggess is singing and they are just like why is it a different key? Why is she belting the entire thing? Why this, why that. It just gets on nerves when people do this because every performer has his or her own way of singing things. A lit of people are like well Christine in Phantom isn't a belting role. So what... Sierra Boggess made it into a belting role. Or when people are like oh my gosh not the key as the original I don't like it. I hate it when people do that. Like with Phantom, Ramin Karimloo had to have the key changed because it fit his range better than the original key that Crawford sang. RANT OVER

She was a great Fantine and Christine!!!!!

wow wow wow

I am following her to sing my cm test

Excellent. Fucking. Job! Beautiful!!

Following in the foot steps of the one and only legend, Julie Andrews

Seirra is a goddess

Why didnt they cast Carrie Underwood as Maria in the remake? Sierra boggess sounds much more like the origional.

sounds more like JULIE!! BRavOO!

good hair style

I'm the biggest Sierra Boggess fan but is the final note a little off pitch at the beginning?

eurways~~~

I think InceduousDogHat just meant that she looks a bit like Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss from the Hunger Games. A few of my friends said that when I first showed them these videos.

Действительно, Ариэль с волшебным голосом

WE NEED HER AS MARIA NOW

May I use this video on my blog?

Sometimes the lord just backs up the truck and tosses everything into it. She is the example.

SHE NEEDS TO PLAY MARIA!

Wow, katniss can really sing!

Does she have an accent? Or all of a sudden has an accent?

I Believe that ancient Jews built boats and sailed to America! I'm a Mormon and dang it a Mormon just believes Wow I just realized they are the same song!

performed here last night at the schools prom and everyone was like ooh adele, beyonce... NOPE SIERRA BOGGESS AAAAH
