This took me a lot of time bc I tried my best to enhance the potato quality videos (which thanks to the ppl who recorded them)
Mister Golightly we’ll as long as the potato is good quality..
Mister Golightly thank you for all the effort you put into your videos!!
Potato?
I am potato
they are sunsetblvd79 and some anonymous
The fact that Laura held that note pretty much every night, messed up her vocal chords, and had a heart condition, but STILL SANG HER ASS OFF is a testament to her talent. She was incredible in the role. Best Elle ever. We need a revival.
all that, and the money is not good... Broadway stars deserve better.
@@theoperatripleaxel5417 Many people do things knowing there's not much money in it but do it because anything else makes them miserable. I have worked as a crappy paid musician for decades and still I'm skint but I loved every day of it.
Her getting rid of her other shoe after she loses the first one is one of the best improvs I’ve ever seen
That is what Broadway looks like
you haven't seen many live shows have you
@@TheOrchidBird umm before covid I would see MULTIPLE productions a year both Broadway and touring. I don’t see what me saying this is a great improv has anything to do with how many shows I’ve seen. None of the ones I’ve seen has had a wardrobe malfunction like this one and I thought LBB handled it really well
@@TheOrchidBird 👎🏾
The one where she loses her shoe is my absolute favourite! She absolutely nails the long c#5 and that jump at the end was so perfect
The whole show is equally amazing too!
I agree snaps!!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
This is deemed one of the hardest female roles to play on Broadway because she's literally in every song but like 1. She is TIRED by the act 1 closing. she is amazing.
Oh, *this* climax?
we already showcased that other climax 😂🐸☕
Melodious Melody best comment on a TH-cam video ever 😂
I mean, of course she is going to sound kind of tired in some of these, because no matter how good your technique or training is, singing songs of this kind of difficulty this repeatedly is going to "rust" your voice a little bit. Nevertheless, she is a goddess and she has been able to still pull it off over the years.
Lala Pou I totally agree she’s such a goddess!!!!💖🙌🏻🙌🏻
Lol when the shoe flew away I only could think of YOU' VE GOT THE BEST FREAKING SHOOOOOOOOOOEEES and I was like: does she have them really? DOES SHE?
I cried a bit.
just imagine holding that c#5 for more than 450 times, and she still survived. wow.
She really needed an alternate when she did Legally Blonde
@@noone.1509And she did! Annaleigh Ashford was her understudy
who played once.... two weeks bfore she left.@@theyluvtwoset.13
when i was playing elle, i realised when you’re really putting everything into the performance (as Laura did every single time she went on stage) the vocals can really suffer. i could nail this song during every rehearsal but when it came to performing, you have so much fun and are so focused on performing that you don’t have time to prepare yourself for *that* note. for her to perform the role this well and put this much energy into it AND keep the vocals at this level is so freaking impressive. mad respect.
unrelated, but we literally almost have the same name mine’s kelsey mckenzie 🧚♀️💕✨
There's a saying that a theatre director I have worked with for years has, and I'm sure he got it from elsewhere: Rehearse the way you'll perform and perform the way you rehearsed. Roles like Elle Woods are the reason this saying exist. You put as much as you can into your rehearsals and you won't have any issue once you get to performances.
Hey, it's been a while since you commented on this but do you have any tips for auditioning for Elle? I'm auditioning for her in a month. ❤
3:04
def the best one. right on pitch throughout the whole thing and even through the crappy quality of the camera you can see how much energy she has. such a great performer
meesh! ⬆️
These videos are really important because they remind us that even the best performers out there make mistakes and have " off days " and thus we should all as upcoming performers go easy on ourselves sometimes. LBB is an absolute broadway goddess nevertheless.
this
This!
the pink margin was such a cute touch
Bianca Boaventura I agree
Honestly only having one off key ain't too shabby, with how hard that note is I'm surprised it's not more. And who knows she might have been sick or something that day but seriously you go girl!
I think that's one of her final performances.
There are more out there, if you look up shows toward the end of her run, or when she went on as a temporary replacement in the national tour. By then they'd lowered the key half a step, but you can still hear a lot of strain in her voice, and she rushes through a lot of the notes (not just the last one). I wish they had written her a different ending or lowered the key earlier when it became apparent it was frying her voice. Or, idk, pre-record it like the Phantom note. I think it really took a toll on her.
A queen no matter what key :)
I would like to take this early opportunity to say thank you so much! I live in croatia, a poor country with an economic crisis. I can only fantasize about actually seeing a broadway show bc a trip to america + tickets cost more than one of my kidneys and uterus (i looked it up). You have no idea how much these clips and videos (plus whole ass analysis of broadway performances) mean to young fans like me. Please never stop doing this, you're an icon, mister golightly. Thank you from my heart.
Thank you so much. I understand that feeling of wanting to see something but it's far away from home. I'm the same. I'm glad I can help out with these small videos, ha! Take care and greetings, Croatia!
I live in Brazil with a very similar situation as yours and it really means the world to see at least a little bit of broadway
Same here! Love from Argentina
Fam this is horrible! The chances in America alone are low now on CrOaTiA?!?
🇭🇷 💗💗💗
I personally think the brilliance in her performance shines best not on that last prolonged note but rather on that angered-with-eagerness note in the third "I am so much betTER". on 2:13 Her emphasis non the beTTEEERRR note gives Elle Woods such a character turning point!
Also ironically in terms of hat last note, her best attempt was at the SF tryout where her shoe flew off!
P.s. she also was fierce in that in the alley performance
Thinking on her feet and throwing the other shoe? WE STAN
When I was doing a performance once, I did a spin and one of my shoes flew off and in the moment I remembered Laura throwing her other one off so I did that without missing a beat and I feel like I have her to thank for the quick improv reminder😂 Still one of my favorite memories in theatre
😂😂😂
Wish my improv was on that level. I was in a college production and I had to kick one of the props across the stage, unfortunately on this occasion my shoe decided to fly off with it 🥲😂 tried to style it out but it there wasn't a chance to make it look smooth so I finished that scene in one shoe having to pretend that I wasn't actually dying inside 😂😂 hope you were okay after it happened, sure you were great 😁X
How did she sing this consistently so well holy crap
Laura has a beautiful tone on her voice, I heard people saying her accent is annoying but it's actually not! To me it sounds so cute, her belting is amazing. But there's one thing that won't fade on my head is during the Bend and Snap part where she literally did high kicks. Such a talented and energetic performer. 😍
The bootleg in which her shoe flies off is my personal favorite. And In my non expert but still one hou should adopt opinion, the best performance
I thought it was a little odd to put sharp and flat in some because it sounded (for the most part) fine to my ears. I only noticed it was sharp/flat because you said it was. But then I got to 2:51....oh Laura...
The point of this video is to show any fluctuations. No offence, but perhaps your ears are just not as pitch sensitive. They were definitely wrong to my ears. Not saying its a bad thing, even the best of performers have off-days, and that's fine. But +Mister Golightly wasn't being pedantic for no reason.
@@aidanlam5336 sure but most of the fluctuations she made were hard to make out because of the quality of the videos so only really those with perfect pitch would be able to hear it. Most probably couldn't hear it as perfect pitch is really rare so I guess to the majority of people it sounds normal
freya goodchild nah, choir and other music kids get really used to picking up sharps and flats
@@caitlinmarie2779 to be honest ive been doing musicals and in choirs since like 4 years old and seeing people who supposedly have been doing it for ages still cant see that theyre flat or sharp. just from my experience personally I think that it would be really rare that someone would be able to pick up the miniscule fluctuations
freya goodchild I don’t have perfect pitch and I can still tell. Some people just have more sensitive ears. Yours are probably not very sensitive
best elle woods ever, ladies and gentleman
That second clip was very much an O vowel which leads me to think that it was early in the run life of legally blonde where as the first clip was an ‘ah’ which is easier to sing from
All I know is all of these are better than me
It's a HARD song with all the dancing. And the fact that it closes Act 1. Bravo LBB!
So much better~
They're all so much better~~
If I’m correct the key this song is normally done in has been lowered since. And it’s sort of terrifying to think about. You have to be planted and sustain.
The crazy thing is that an early demo of this song sung by Kerry Butler (you can find a recording on TH-cam) was in a *higher* key
Colin Morris it’s interesting to see sort of how a song goes from concept to production, at the musical direction side of it. Perhaps you sing it once in a rehearsal setting it sounds fine and feels good. But then you have to do it with the rest of the show 8 times a week. (And you can’t live on vocal rest. If it’s a new show, you’re doing press interviews and talk shows and whatnot)
I wish we could a revival. This show was SO underrated
2:35 finally a performance i can sing perfectly
I’m not a theater expert by any means, but enjoy watching musicals. As a non-expert, I can say that the ad-lib where she removed the other shoe after losing the first one was FLAWLESS. She totally made that look like it was supposed to be part of the show!!
I think Laura Bell Bundy was also the Glinda standby for Kristin Chenoweth when she was in wicked.
Yes she was
Yeah, she was the first ever standby and there are rumours that the producers were ready to promote her to lead but then she left because they wouldn't pay her enough.
I just think it’s absolutely amazing how she held that last note practically perfectly in all of the clips except for one??????😲😲😲
Just seeing Paul and Annaleigh in the back at 3:58 made me so happy.
I saw a regional production twice recently because one of my favorite performers ever was in it and loved it. I didn’t realize the original broadway production was so technically complicated!
Sksksksk
During tech rehearsals me and some of my cast just binged Mr. Golightly vids
Yass! Lots of love xx
1:18 personal fav, so much character and she is LIVING! She’s literally shoving out the notes so beautifully!💗✨
When I did Legally Blonde the ending pose of this song was Elle being all triumphant and the delta nu’s in their sweaters spelling out Elle Woods and they held up their delta symbols. The first legally blonde was the tearjerker for the rest of the cast but I always teared up seeing Elle so happy
Can you do a “Rainbow High” climax comparison from evita please? I would love to hear that
I am! First it's coming a Patti LuPone vid
i cannot read i thought they were all different people 😂 it took me a moment i was like "wait a minute... they all look pretty similar 👀"
At 2:30 she is visibly emotional - was this final performance or something?
Nope. In her last perf the song was lowered and she could barely get the notes out. I didn't include it bc it wasn't really her best at all
Tbh the musical is like the number one reason I'm kinda afraid to watch the Legally Blonde movie, like the musical is SO GOOD
I watched the movie before the musical and I can confidently say the musical is so much better
random question: do you have perfect pitch???
Meredith Julia What’s that have anything to do with this?
i was just wondering because she's always accurate when she labels the notes
Meredith Julia ???
i have perfect pitch too and i agree with it so i just wanted to know lol
Meredith Julia I suppose it’s possible. I don’t have perfect pitch(as far as I know) but I can always tell sharps and flats and yeah they were right. Hm... maybe I do have perfect pitch? I dunno...
Yo she’s so AMAZING!!! even when she’s off key sometimes imagine doing that EVERY NIGHT!! Pure talent!!💜💜💜
These videos are awesome! I look forward to every time you post! (:
Please make a video called "Who sang the 'I'm Here' Climax the best"🙏🏻🙏🏻
It's my all time favorite song. And I would absolutely love to watch that.
YESSS
invented singing
Living for 1:59 when Laura sees her shoe flying
Raise your voice climax next, if you please😍
I did not know there existed so many different videos.....I need to watch them all
Annaleigh in the back is so adorable!!!
Please make an "I'm Here" - from the Color Purple comparison🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
YESSSS PLEASE
Yes that would be amazing
*than before!!!*
2:57 I think she had a cold during that one. MAJOR props.
It's impressive for any singer to be able to perform this song at all let alone day after day after day, you have to have so much oxygen in your lungs after doing all the ridiculous movement and dancing around to hit those high notes.
I met Laura bell! She’s so sweet! She came to visit my high schools cast of legally blonde :’)
Honestly she sounds “so much better” than me in all of these 😉.
U're such a blessing
Just got done performing this show with my high school. It was so much fun and such a great show to die
Please do who sang the climax of I don’t know how to love him better
Hey if you take requests would you do hairspray in welcome to the 60’s when the trio of women do rifts at the end please?
My throat was getting exhausted watching this
Please could you do who sang the I’m Alive From Next To Normal Climax best?
SHOE SNATCHED
Laura Bell Bundy will forever be the best Elle Woods! ❤
hi !! idk if you still respond to comments but if you found some (or all) of these from youtube and still have them, can you link them? thanks !
yes laura! pop off!
Im pretty people that hit notes higher than C5 are not human at all
Am contralto. Can confirm.
her worst performance was 10x better than i could have done it
ALSO WHERE IS THAT SECOND VIDEO FROM
how do you know what note shes hitting?
1:36 i see you down there 👀
LMAO
i would like see lbb last show!!
Where did you get that second clip from!?!?!?
elle woods is one of my dream roles but i can't even hold out a belted C# on a good day 😳😭🙄
Song?? 0:1
1:03 was def my fave
Does anyone have a full bootleg from when she kicked her shoe off???
I love flat keys so much
My school done Legally Blonde last year and I was Emmett (check out in my channel). I miss this number
I’m curious. Where is your intro song from and why did you call your channel this? Ahah thanks
From Breakfast at Tiffany's. It's Moon River sung by Audrey Hepburn (who plays the lead) and composed by the great Henry Mancini! I'm just a big fan of the movie, and Audrey's character name was Holly Golightly. So I wasn't calling myself "Holly Golightly" but I didn't wanted any name to be following "Golightly" That's when I came up with 'Mister' (even though I was 15 lol) It was kinda a wink to the movie. Btw, I adore Audrey Hepburn so that helped! Xx
Okay I thought it might have been that song ahah. I love the inspiration!
the second one she has a little vocal fry but otherwise its still good
That is one hard working woman. I'm pretty sure she's "so much better" when she's done with this song lmao
1:54 is when her show flies off :))
It's in "fight" when she does a kick. You can see the shadow of the shoe
She’s amazing, but shew.. what an exhausting song.
My fav was Laura's
what song do you use for your intro?
Moon River - Audrey Hepburn
@@NR-jr4sf Thanks!
Come through with the new into mister G, lord of musicals and TH-cam
12th
She really gets much better with each performance
2:51 y'all can someone explain 😂, all my life (or at least when I started self learning) I believed that flat= one half of a note off and now I'm just confused
It essentially means that the note she was singing was flat as opposed to what she was actually supposed to be singing
I wonder if the audience member got to keep the shoe haha
This show has been bootlegged a thousand times...
I would like to watch other versions of it. The only full one i find is the MTV one
ELLE WOOD......... s...
I love you
You forgot one th-cam.com/video/A5TXvSfzhJk/w-d-xo.html. This one's worth listening to because she sounds like she shouldn't be doing the show. Honestly I think they should've given her an alternate.
First
Ugh her diction is so good you can actually understand her (*cough* pop music)
This is so weird cause I discovered the San Francisco bootleg today and watched it 🧐
Fucking qUEEN
Omg the girl who went completely off key lmao
Deondre J. Jackson That was Laura Bell Bundy... every video in this video was the same actress.
