The Sound of Music -Sierra Boggess PROMS 2010 

please please please !!!!

omg

Someone make this happen!

Brilliant!

Sierra and Ramin just need to be in a remake of EVERYTHING!

One could do a lot worse, however, than to imitate Julie Andrews.

I personally think she *was* imitating Julie Andrews, she just blended it with her own voice and made it sound natural. I don't think it would have been anything wrong if she *was* imitating her

Both Broadway and Hollywood.

Beautiful and emotional music that uplifts your soul!

couldn't agree more!!! ❤ Sierra is a spellbinding goddess!!!

I loved South Pacific!! Mitzi Gaynor was fabulous in that!!! Rossano Brazzi too, although I always thought his singing might have been dubbed. (He denied.)

@@marygracehughes7455 It was dubbed, by Enzio Pinza, the Metropolitan Opera bass who originated the role on Broadway with Mary Martin.

The first thing I ever heard from Sierra was Sound of Music tunes, and I thought she was British. LOL

Hybrid, more American than British - Americans think that anyone with enunciation is playing British!

No such thing as a British accent lol!

@@coryross6597 British accent = any of the accents spoken within the British isles. Just like American accent = any of the accents spoken in the USA.

@@coryross6597 Well don't keep us in tenterhooks, Jamie. What would you call it, a posh London accent?

+Rachel Hughes She is in something new .... playing the School Teacher in the School of Rock on Broadway.

Cool.

She should have played Maria on the most recent Sound of Music rather than Carrie Underwood.

NewMeToday22 Amen to that.

Rachel Hughes n

The overture here is electric.

You should listen to Laura Osnes. She was wonderful too. :)

I agree with your more than you could imagine

Jo-Anne Zeidenberg Thank you. I was taken by enormous surprise! I had a lot of ideas on what iconic roles Laura could take on. Being as she's a mezzo and prefers to belt. I didn't think Maria was a good match. No need to be concerned. She nails it in her own fashion. :)

Anna-Jane Casey is the best choice for Annie get Your Gun. She has actually done it.

Randy Patton I agree

agreed

She was probably watching live. She might even have been in the audience. :D

emily schwellenbach definately

ladies

Sierra is perfection

Tabris Fru Lar b

She needs to be the next Maria

Yahhhh... I fear we don't have the talent in Hollywood any more to take on a project like a "Sound of Music" remake... I think they'd destroy it... I'm worried about the "Dune" remake...

Agreed. Carrie Underwood is talented, but she's not a musical theater performer.

Ellie Tuckwell Exactly. And that is the whole point. Carrie is/was surrounded by trained, ( even the children ), stage performers, as is Sierra.. So that makes it so much more apparent on Carrie. And yes, Sierra would have been a better choice, but aside from POTO fans, Carrie is much more well known. Aside from that, Carrie did a very respectable performance, considering it was her first stage performance, and before millions at that. It's two different genres of music. And since it was / is a movie, retakes and retakes and retakes can be done until it can be exactly right. In live theater, there is only performance and cannot be 'smoothed over' until it is perfect. And by the way, Mary Matlin did that Sound of Music for 6 years on Broadway before Julie Andrews made the movie. Very well done Carrie!!!!

Ellie Tuckwell Not yet, but please remember and never forget that the live performance of Sound of Music was her very first foray into this genre. For a singer with zero prior experience in musical theater, I thought it was actually superb. Given time, she may well excel in it.

Lol. Beyoncé ...har har har....Kidding , ( Couph )

Sierra is not only the worthy successor to Dame Julie, but Sarah Brightman as well......she is a PHENOMENAL Christine Daae......

Maria Llamanator there's no pleasing some people it was great

Maria Llamanator 48 now.....maybe they don't like the musical.

Yes, please!

Oh God, Yes please...make this happen

I'm happy for discover that I'm not the only that think that Ramin could be a perfect Georg Von Trapp.

Yes, please!!!!

Ramin Karimloo as Captain Von Trapp + Sierra Boggess as Maria Von Trapp = PERFECTION😍❤

I totally agree

Eleanore Pavellebbhhhy66tew223567900 nuj7hy6xXxXisisistutti779gymfry6aaal. y7ft

Agree

I saw it on stage with Petula Clark playing Maria. I thought that she was great in the role.

But let's not forget about Audra McDonald who brings her art to life and takes theatre to a whole new level.

Although Sierra is a beautiful & exquisite singer, she is too operatic to be Maria. Dame Julie Andrews had character , soul & humor in her singing movie role as the nun/ governess and her expressions were priceless. Julie not only sings so well, but her character’s personality is strongly reflected in the singing role she is portraying, whether it is Eliza Doolittle, Cinderella, Guinevere, Mary Poppins or Maria. And the same goes that I could not imagine Julie being in Phantom, as Sierra is the perfect Christine, besides Sarah. Of course, that is just my humble opinion. (so sad on the loss of Dame Julie’s gift of her musical voice).

Whether she is better than Julia Andrews or not, I don't know. But up to this moment she is definitely a singer for musical only.

Sorry, I just can't help it. I've only seen the move 6, 435 times!!

Agreed and how!

She is a soprano but not a coloratura soprano, so she cannot sing opera. She is often out of tune, and no one in this world can sing this song better than Julie Andrews. Sierra is not better than Julie, no one is.

Lyn Byrd I know you commented like, a year ago but you should totally see if there’s an orchestra near you! Sometimes there’s even symphonies and even high schoolers can be super talented. I was in band as a kid and even played professionally. It’s so nice to have people interested in music come listen to us! As for listening for more of Sierra Boggess’s work, please do check out Phantom of the Opera 25th anniversary! You can get it on DVD or amazon video. It’s amazing and she plays Christine Daae.

Lyn Byrd I think her MERRY MONTH OF MAY is even better.

Yeah I love Carrie Underwood but she can't act to safe her life. I'm in awe of Sierra though.

Actually no one sounds like Julie Andrews, and doesn't need to. More of a West End Christine or a Cossette. But it is an excellent performance.

Philharmoniker Fan ok

She won't; she has excellent technique, and as long as that doesn't change, she could sing like this into her eighties without hurting anything. :)

cere tomer I agree

I like like Sierra's version of The Lusty Month of May better (but honestly that might just be the director letting her get her ho on a bit). For SoM I still gotta give it to the queen of Genovia.

She is very good, but she lacks the distinctive quality that Julie Andrews has in her voice. Musical fans can usually recognize Julie Andrews singing in an instant. I don't think the average person would be able to tell as quickly that this voice, though quite lovely, is Sierra's.

What's wrong with her voice it is hers and she has wonderful control over it!For you experts out there no two voices are ever the exact same!!!

You are absolutely right.

Yes and Ramin as Von Trapp
