  • One year ago this weekend, Rachel Zegler sang and danced her way into our hearts as Maria when "West Side Story" was cinematically brought into the 21st century. And to celebrate, here's a supercut of the 1961 (Robert Wise/Jerome Robbins) and 2021 (Steven Spielberg) versions of "I Feel Pretty," as performed by Natalie Wood (dubbed by Marni Nixon) in the '61 film and Zegler in the '21 film.
    Watch my other WSS supercuts here:
    • "America" - West Side ... (America)
    • "Tonight (Quintet)" - ... (Tonight Quintet)
    • "Tonight (Balcony Scen... (Tonight - Balcony Scene)
    • "Dance at the Gym" (Ma... (Dance at the Gym - Mambo)

    Both versions of "West Side Story" are masterpieces.

    Rachel’s Maria has the hope and the joy. Natalie’s Maria is telling her story to her friends and is enjoying the moment. Both brilliant performances. Props to Rachel and this being her film debut

      Leonard Bernstein was a true American genius. I would wager most Americans have no idea who he was nowadays.

    Cred where credit is due: It's not Natalie Wood who is singing. It's Marnie Nixon.

      It would have been better to put her name in parentheses next to Natalie Wood. That would have been more transparent.

    35000 candidate for Maria´s role, but only one perfect: Rachel Zegler. The right looks, and a great singer already. She was something like twice better than the 2nd place girl in the castings.

    Love watching both Rachel and Natalie (even though she was dubbed she still gave a great performance) in this video!!!

    The original had a funny little tap dance by Maria behind a screen - you could only see her feet - and I wish they'd found a way to keep that in the new one.

    • @MaxHechtman
      @MaxHechtman  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I remember that. I did like how they did that beach display at Gimbels in the new one to represent how "pretty and witty and bright" Maria's world is at that moment when there is a very dark world outside the store.

    They're both stunning. My only criticism with the new West Side Story is that 'I Feel Pretty' should have come BEFORE the deaths of Riff and Bernardo, it was jarring to go from such a serious scene into IFP.
    If I recall correctly, in the 1961 version, IFP is more in the middle and before the death.

      You can actually hear Natalie’s voice singing this song on TH-cam, recorded before she was dubbed. In this song she is not bad but she did not have the vocal strength for some of the other songs. Notwithstanding that she was wonderful in the part and she was luminous on the screen😊

    Natalie wore makeup to make her look Hispanic and someone else was singing. Thankfully we do not do this this way anymore.

    • @powerdriller4124
      @powerdriller4124 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, Rachel is the prettier one. And about the Anatomy parameter, Natalie was more mature, was already a blossom woman, so she had better body. But Rachel was just 18 years old at that moment, she still has a lot of time to blossom.

  • @teddybear0473
    @teddybear0473 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    considering Natalie didn't sing this...but rather lip-synced to it. They used someone else's voice, just as they did for her in Gypsy.

    • @tlw1950
      @tlw1950 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I believe Natalie did her own vocals in Gypsy. The role of Louise is much less vocally demand than the role of María.
