this is an extremely hard song to sing. i speak from experience. and the lights are extremely hot, and she's wearing like 5 layers of clothing, and those heels, and she STILL sang the song quite well. don't hate on something you don't have.
I was wondering why everyone was so hard on Bailey when she did it.. Seeing this performance.. now I can understand why people feel that way, This woman is a massive talent my god
I've watched this a few times and kept on thinking LBB would be great for Galinda in Wicked. Then I found out she was the original standby for Kristin Chenoweth when she was Galinda, who knew?
WDWFanatic55 I actually personally didn't like her very much as Glinda (and I LOVE her so I'm not just hating) I think her voice is too belty for Glinda.
Popular is actually... Belted.... there is no such thing as "head voice belt" but it depends on the singer what mix they use. In the OBC Kristin uses a very nasally placement.
Guys, relax, it's not that high. There are higher songs with more sustained high belts than this one in contemporary music. Amy Lee from Evanescence sings higher tessituras than this with way more sustained belts.
Giannis Targontsidis maybe she could do it, but high songs like this can really damage someone’s voice, so lbb doing this song like 8 times a week it’s rrly impressive
Sam _ honestly just the role is hard cause she never really leaves the stage that much and a role like Elle is vocally demanding as well as have excellent comedic timing. So Elle is just a difficult role in general
This may should weird, but I love how her voice goes into the C#5 note. I also love how strong her voice is on it. That takes a lot of skill. Easily my favorite song in the musical.
what blows my mind is that, the song is not that high (C5s are actually really easy to reach for a professionally trained Mezzo's and Soprano's) but the energy that is required for this song is insane, you have to keep the energy from start to finish to nail this song perfectly.
What sets laura bell bundy is her acting. Her facial expressions are on point of looking like “wow I really did that I can’t believe it” to “ha look at his face he was so wrong about me” she know how to act it out instead just singing the song
Okay, so when you're a leading role on broadway and can get through those shows without DYING and are nominated for Tony Awards and are known nationally you let me know. Alright?
I think this is an older show, her voice doesn't sound higher but brighter and I think it's because it has a better quality (in another show she is clearly straining her voice to get to the notes)
I’m usually not biased towards the original Broadway singer and would often prefer other people’s renditions of the song. However, Laura bell Bundy is too fucking good, I have nvr seen a performance as good as hers. She radiates everything I love abt the movie and Elle woods.
Is it just me or does this sound kinda like a badass anime opening? Like there is something about the orchestration that gives me that vibe and it gives me chills.
this song is my motivation to keep studying macroeconomics at university (I was about to give up today). anyone got Similiar experiences *goes back to her books*
Was this Lura bell bundy? If it wasn't I think it was really good. Her voice fits Elle woods well. She sand it just like the original cast recording. I give this a 10 out of 10
Kat OConnor//1 I know!! Someone on her twitter was like "I'm talking to someone right now who is saying they're you. Is it actually you?" And Laura said it wasn't her and I'm just like thinking to myself "um can't you tell just by looking at them that it wasn't her? Lol
This is one of my favorite musical theater songs of all time. Good emeries and just so many good emotions evoked in this piece! I keep coming back to listen
A lot of Broadway stars had minor roles on HIMYM! I'm guessing because of connections with Neil Patrick Harris, or maybe some of the casting directors had Broadway ties.
It may because does this show 8 times a week *really* messed up her voice and she didn’t want to have to do another show or her voice just really hurt after this.
Elle: Mom will fall on the floor~ Elle's mom: Hello- Everyone: HEY MOM?!! Elle's mom: i can hear you without yelling also why are there so many people- Everyone: Look at my name in black and white! Your daughter's doing something right Elle's mom: hold on sweetie im still reading the paper why did you take the picture so far away? also this picture is shaky as hell- Elle: I feel so much better! (Hangs up) Elle's mom: oh that's nice sweetie- hello?
It is. Especially the end note because you have to hold it for so long. You gotta have a good lung capacity. Those are the hardest things for me when I sing. Holding notes for that long.
Lauren Coates this is the Original cast lol. This is definitely LBB, tho I see what you mean. She does sound a bit different than in the MTV version and the album.
I think maybe it has something to do with the fact that they slowed the tempo a bit. They probably had a good reason for it though maybe one of the performers or LBB wasn’t feeling the best?
All of this time I planned I'd be patient and You would love me again You'd come to respect my mind and at last you'd find You could love me again And I have turned my whole world upside down Trying not to let you go Watching you walk away is like a fatal blow Whoa! Is that my name up on that list? Does someone know that I exist? Is this a mistake? Am I even awake? Pinch me now to make sure Ow! Yes, that's my name in black and white Maybe I'm doing something right Wow! I feel so much better than before Warner, sorry I've been a pest But I guess my best was not working with you But looks like I've found a cure And I so look forward to working with you What? Working with who? Hey, remember when we spent spring break In the hot tub every night We said nothing else could ever feel so right Well, this might! Seeing my name up on that list That beats the first time that we kissed You thought I was dumb But I think that somebody's judgment was poor Seeing my name in black and white It's like making love with you all night No wait, it feel so much better, hello, much better It's oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, much better 'Cause I am so much better than before Yes, she's so much better than before Yes, she's so much better than before Maybe she's what you prefer But hey, last year I was her Maybe you will change your mind But you might look up to find I've gone on to better things Better jobs or bigger rings I don't have the time to cry I'm too busy loving my name up on that list Kind of a cool, ironic twist Who else can I tell? Hoo! Wait, where's my cell? Mom will fall on the floor Hey mom! Look at my name in black and white Your daughter's doing something right I feel so much better I'll be there on Monday, 9 o'clock And we will see who walks the walk No, no, I can't wait, I will be there at 8 When they unlock the door Oh, oh! I'll even dress in black and white See, I have not begun to fight And you'll go, oh, much better and oh, much better And soon all y'all gotta know much better I am so much better I am so much better I am so much better than before!
@@robint8468 the song does start off there, it's just that this video starts about a minute into to the song. You can find full versions on RU-vid. Including the orginal cast recording
