Do you ever sing along with these to learn them and then you just sit in awe of the singer because their voice is just beautiful and you somehow want to steal it 😂😂❤️
Laura is fabulous. Ever since her win on Grease the one that I want, she was going right to the top. That voice is stunning. Looks, man she got it all!
Your bare feet sliding on the old wooden floorboards, Home just as you left it but still you’re shaken, Like walking into a museum somehow out of time. It’s all the same except the girl in the hallway, Where she’s been and who she will ripen into, Your childhood’s on the other side of a sprawling divide… too wide. Take a silent breath. Hold in the change. Tell yourself you still live here. Take your bags upstairs. It’s the only way you’ll get through today. Count the hours. Take a shower. Wash yourself away. The house is pulsing with an alien heartbeat, Was it always here but you never listened? It’s calling you to be the girl that you were way back then… again. Take a silent breath. Hold in the change. Tell yourself you still live here. Take your bags upstairs. Put away your clothes, take it nice and slow. Be their daughter. Nothing’s harder When nobody knows How to return home. How to return home And how to survive, There’s no written guidelines. How to go back, How to show up and unpack. How to show up. How to grow up. How to take a breath. Take a silent breath. Hold in the change. Tell yourself you still live here. Take your bags upstairs. You still share a name But you’re not the same. You don’t fight it. You don’t hide it. It’s a whole new game of how to return home. How to return home. How to return home. How to return home. Your bare feet sliding on the old wooden floorboards, Home just as you left it but still you’re shaken.
I love this, it makes me feel so many emotions that I can not explain. Without even listening to the lyrics, the music is so uplifting and motivational. And she is amazing!
@xojoannaax3 vibrato means healthy voice. Broadway singers aren't autotuned and aren't only singing once or twice a week. They're singing in rehearsal every day and then doing 8 shows a week. Straighttone usually comes from a rigid soft palette. Tensing that during singing (outside of choice moments) is brutal on the voice, even on quite passages. If you want to see what happens to a show that works with people who straighttone too much, look at the Spring Awakening tour.
.. for some, what's apparent is the quivering of the muscles just below the jaw line.. like that of Michael Ball and thats just a variant. What is not acceptable and is evidently forced, is head shaking during a vibratto. This can be corrected by proper technique with a good voice teacher. Laura is a good singer with a really nice timbre, her quivering jaw does not hamper at all her excellent rendition.
@tggold There was a time when i thought it could be eliminated by vocal techniques and exercises, but my voice teacher from the conservatory enlightened me about it, saying it really is natural for some singers. I further verified this with my colleagues expert in the field of voice physiology, thus the medical explanation i gave earlier.
Its funny when some of you comment that the jaw shouldnt shake when doing a vibratto.. well its true that some singers do it intentionally to make an ostentatious performance... BUT please do your research, there really are singers whose quivering jaw during a vibratto is not intentional.. it results from dual innervation.. same nerve conducting the impulses for the vibratto skill also have motor innervation for the muscles of the jaw. This may be the case for Laura, Lea Salonga & a few others..
@exodus217 Or it's jaw tension that either wasn't fixed during training or unable to be fixed (jaw shaking is a pretty clear indicator of TMJ in a singer). Looking at how much her jaw is chomping away on the notes that aren't sustained, I'm going with a problem that never got fixed. And head shaking during oftentimes is the singer trying to release tension, not manufacture vibrato. Not really acceptable during a performance but it's better than them tensing up and not getting through the song.

whoever poured that water at the very end needs to be pimp slapped with that very same glass. Seriously, way to ruin the finale of a beautiful soloist performance... -_-" Incredible job honey! I'll be singing this song at my vocal coffeehouse tomorrow :D
@tggold with much respect to you, i still disagree bro. Laura is too young to have temporomandibular joint arthritis which manifests as jaw tension. I think it really is her inherent dual innervation at work here. I know these things cause im a doctor who also sings in musicals in my side of the world, and im a jaw shaker myself when i do vibratto although its not as apparent as Laura's. About half of my singer friends (the good ones) also have jaw shaking, varying only with how obvious it is.
Her vibrato is unbelievable!!! Like EVERY word!! My goodness Laura osnes, pls tell me how to sing as well as you! Freaking amazing voice!!
She'll probably say practice
she is forcing it for most of the notes that’s why her mouth is like wiggling if that makes sense
@@subliminalsandco3131 that was posted 7 years ago I doubt she still cares lol.
Do you ever sing along with these to learn them and then you just sit in awe of the singer because their voice is just beautiful and you somehow want to steal it 😂😂❤️
Don't steal her voice! She needs it!
I love listing to and watching the much younger Adorable Laura Osnes! Eautiful song for her..
UW-Stevens Point in Wisconsin... she was in my class- did one year... she is incredible... :)
It’s 2021 and I can’t still get this song out of my head
Lauras' version is the best by far. Acting, tone, pitch, commitment...flawless.
Laura has just a beautiful voice. She was my favorite Sandy on Grease.
this song descibes how I felt this thankgiving break.
Ah i love her so much. I always watch videos of her singing when I’m having a bad day and it instantly makes me feel better
I am officially obsessed with this song and have added it to my repertoire
Laura is fabulous. Ever since her win on Grease the one that I want, she was going right to the top. That voice is stunning. Looks, man she got it all!
she's amazing!
She has such a Disney princess voice and I’m here for it
Amazing rendition! Her voice is effortless, best version I have heard!
Props to Kerrigan and Lowdermilk for a beautiful song!
Her vibrato ♡♡♡
I really like this song!
Why are people picking at every little thing instead of enjoying the AMAZING talent she has? Appreciate, not hate :)
perfect combination --- a new STAR and that lovely, contemporary adult musical mastery of Brian and Kate !!!
She's won me over.

Some of the belting is a little high, but I love her and this.
... it is a high belt song tho. she takes it higher. nothing wrong with that. thats beinga musician
wow.

the laurie beechman on 5/4 for kerrigan and lowdermilk's "tales from the bad years" concert
ummm...... WOW!!!
May 4, 2008 at the Laurie Beechman Theatre
@MTobsessed yes, but she sang my heart is split with Meghann Fahy. Beautifully may i add :)
Does anybody have the sheet music for this song? I'm dying for it.

I saw her at La Jolla in Bonnie & Clyde...she's fabulous. There's just some people who are triple threats...
credit properly given - KAIT - you move me.
does anyone know her range? beautiful
Anybody know the name of the character from this song?
check the describition box...
no prob :-)
yeah, you're right her jaw is like quivering like crazy -- her vibrato is obviously forced, which is a let down. because she sounds great.
lyrics anyone???
@exodus217 Or it's jaw tension that either wasn't fixed during training or unable to be fixed (jaw shaking is a pretty clear indicator of TMJ in a singer). Looking at how much her jaw is chomping away on the notes that aren't sustained, I'm going with a problem that never got fixed.

Dear whoever is pouring water at the end of the video: I hate you. You just ruined the mood.

I think Melissa Lyons ver is better honestly I love both of them!
why are they forcing their vibrato
She needs to relax her jaw. She's got a pretty voice, but there's tension there.
the good old days when we didn't know she was insufferable :')
I like her voice but I kind of hate her vibrato. She has that shaky jaw thing going on. Such a pet peeve.
+Sophie K I agree that vibrato should not be a visible phenomenon occurring on the outside of the neck.
I believe she doesn't do that forced vibrato anymore! :)
