The splitting actually helped her in this case. If she had not done that she might not have gotten the notes out right, and may have been flat or sharp. So stop hating on her.
honestly i didnt even know the last note wasnt supposed to be split until i heard other people sing the song and i think it sounds good either way? its a hard note to sing, especially after all that moving around. in my opinion no one compares to lbb, especially in this song, because she has so much emotion. i dont see or hear nearly as much feeling in other performances, and the feeling of triumph and worth is so important in this number, i think it excuses splitting the last note.
Gwen McArdle also she had a hole in heart during her time in legally blonde so it made breathing more difficult. But I agree I think it sounds fine either way.
Jessica De La Rosa Yes but there are other videos of So Much Better with LBB where she does way better emotion and where she held the note. Bailey may have been able to hold the note but her acting was NOT as good as LBB and she did not execute the character, Elle as well as LBB.
I don't mind the splitting??? It still leaves the ending with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction and also that's a really hard note to sing so pls stop hating?
Yeah, really! Singing live is so different to a studio recording. She's only half way through the show at this point - she needs to pace her voice. And she's been leaping around doing energetic staging. She sold the song brilliantly and I can't imagine going into the interval less than totally pumped to find out what happens next!
@@Jazzmine_Summersshe's Pilar (the black Delta Nu who sings "4 carats of princess cut/are you psyched or what/I just wish I could be there to see/when he gets down on one knee" in Omigod You Guys.
You do know that LBB had a heart condition, so she had to split the note. I'd like all the haters to try and attempt what she did as a character... Songs,. Blocking (direction) and all... I bet they won't stand a chance. She's such an amazing professional!
I just don't get how someone could look this amazing, have a fantastic voice, be an amazing actress, and be so fascinating at the same time. Laura Bell Bundy is the best there is.
LBB was the perfect Elle, yes she split the last note but frankly she acts the role so much better (unintended pun) then most of the other Elle's I've seen do this song.
Lol 99% of comments - stop hating on her for splitting the last note! 0.99% of comments - Laura is SO awesome 0.01% of comments - ugh she split the last not
I really don't understand how people can hate on her. 'So much better' is a tough song to sing, never mind the rest of the score to this musical. As much as i loved Sheridan Smith doing it, Laura Bell Bundy is the best Elle Woods.
When ur moving around the stage for like 3 mins, its extremely difficult to hold a note for 16 seconds, let alone when ur not moving around. Stop hating on her. She's incredible!!
lol - not even. Reese IS Elle woods. Laura can sing a storm but her Elle is just a grating blonde and didn't transcend the stereo type like a good Elle should.
Anna A. i know this is old but elle graduated college. she’s in law school which is a while after regular college (where she gets a degree in fashion merchandising) so her voice is actually quite good for the age elle is supposed to be. bailey seemed to young to me.
The only problem with splitting the note is that you could really see in her face and posture that she was struggling to hold it and had to take a breath. It spoils the joy the song's meant to have. She's still fantastic though obviously!
She had a whole in her heart whilst being Elle in legally blonde so controlling her breath was extremely difficult so very understandable. I personally think that it doesn't make a difference still absolutely incredible brought tears to my eyes!
bloom 107 its not her real hair lol. She was blonde underneath it but not all over platinum. Besides they never use real hair in these types of things especially something so processed as blonde when they have to style it over and over. Its easier for her to switch wigs than it is for her to flat iron her hair or do a rollerset before the show lol.
PookeTard yeah she is wearing a wig. Especially because her mic runs underneath it. Also she told a story about how it started to peel off on stage once
I love Laura bell bundy... and I get that she's either singing or dancing or both 90% of the entire play.. but you cant deny that its always like that with "so much better" ... Christian borle, Michael Rupert and Orfeh also have big finishes on their songs but always end up clean just a little observation with "so much better" Its a hard song, i know... but still other than that, i pretty much love her on everthing ^_^
Did you really come here just to comment that? Sheridan Smith is weaker vocally to me and Laura Belle Bundy will always be my Elle. But I dont spread that opinion around just because. So maybe next time stfu.
LBB has so much emotion on her face and in her voice you can FEEL IT my gosh she's a brilliant performer
Laura Bell Bundy as Elle is like Laura Osnes as Ella in Cinderella. The character suits them so well that no one did it better than them.
Sam Villanueva i liked bailey wayyyy more than laura
Mari knows best Lol funny joke
Sam Villanueva agreed
@@mariknowsbest4784 sorry autocorrect sucks ikr! Autumn is better then Bailey silly!
Except is anti-vax…
I love the eye wipe before she starts singing to Warner
Also just the sheer amount of emotion in this song I love it so so much
trinity b samee
when she says 'your daughter's doing something right'
she is so damn PROUD
@@kyliefield6986 She really is!!!😊🥺💗
The splitting actually helped her in this case. If she had not done that she might not have gotten the notes out right, and may have been flat or sharp. So stop hating on her.
Marie agreed👌🏼
And everyone’s picking up on it here but (although it’s not as obvious) she split it in the MTV live aswell
The two dislikes are Warner and Vivian
Nah man, Vivian becomes a great pal. I'd say it was Callahan and Warner hahah :)
In the movie it's Vivian. In the play it's Vivienne.
Did you see the whole thing? Vivian becomes her friend :D
Nothing beats Laura! She's so much better. Love her!
Ken Bernardez ahhh I see what you did there
honestly i didnt even know the last note wasnt supposed to be split until i heard other people sing the song and i think it sounds good either way? its a hard note to sing, especially after all that moving around. in my opinion no one compares to lbb, especially in this song, because she has so much emotion. i dont see or hear nearly as much feeling in other performances, and the feeling of triumph and worth is so important in this number, i think it excuses splitting the last note.

Purp13luver wait what?
Bowl of Lams um she had a hole in her heart when she was Elle woods
Bailey was able to hold the note and it is executed perfectly. It’s a tie between Bailey and LBB. ❤️
Jessica De La Rosa Yes but there are other videos of So Much Better with LBB where she does way better emotion and where she held the note. Bailey may have been able to hold the note but her acting was NOT as good as LBB and she did not execute the character, Elle as well as LBB.
Okay people hating on lbb for splitting the last note, that note is so hard to sing while not going sharp or flat.
People also remember that she does this almost everyday, and the notes comes at almost the end of the show.
And she had a hole in her heart at this time
The Insane Songbird Jenn EXACTLY!!!
Reilly Jackson I honestly like the splitting tbh!
No.... she was running out of breath. You can tell it wasn’t supported enough. She obviously wouldn’t go out of tune during a note....???
I don't mind the splitting??? It still leaves the ending with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction and also that's a really hard note to sing so pls stop hating?
Abi Alston yes. Yes it is hard.
Abi Alston it's a very hard SONG to sing. It literally takes all your energu aha
She hit the E dead on. I don't care as much about anything else.
Abi Alston AGREED! I think the splitting sounds great. And imagine her vocal chords going through that 15 beat note every performance!
Yeah, really! Singing live is so different to a studio recording. She's only half way through the show at this point - she needs to pace her voice. And she's been leaping around doing energetic staging. She sold the song brilliantly and I can't imagine going into the interval less than totally pumped to find out what happens next!
No one is commenting on how DeQuina Moore is singing and riffing her ass off in the ensemble. She is insane and I love it.
Who is she
@@Jazzmine_Summers To bluntly put it. The Black Delta Nu
@@Jazzmine_Summersshe's Pilar (the black Delta Nu who sings "4 carats of princess cut/are you psyched or what/I just wish I could be there to see/when he gets down on one knee" in Omigod You Guys.
who cares if she split the last note she’s unreal at singing and pirouettes and belts this whole song out like an absolute queen
Still the best Broadway Elle 😍

The splitting helped her, she needed the breath, so she took it, and still sounded great! STOP HATING ON HER! I BET YOU CAN'T DO BETTER!!
I just don't get how someone could look this amazing, have a fantastic voice, be an amazing actress, and be so fascinating at the same time. Laura Bell Bundy is the best there is.
YOU DRAG HIM LBB DRAG HIM
she still held the note in tears omg im jealous
LBB was the perfect Elle, yes she split the last note but frankly she acts the role so much better (unintended pun) then most of the other Elle's I've seen do this song.
Nothing beats Laura!!! She kills it as Elle!!
honestly, i prefer the last note when its split, shows how much more power you can push into it
Laura BB will always me my favourite Elle
She's brilliant.
Chills. Absolute chills. Breaking that last note was like double chills. She did amazing
Lol

Man, this never fails to make me smile
I love absolutely everything about this, but what I love the best is the energy, omg the stage presence is just incredible
(falsetto) Nailed it! :D I love the close ups so we can see her act
There will never be a better broadway Elle
When ur moving around the stage for like 3 mins, its extremely difficult to hold a note for 16 seconds, let alone when ur not moving around. Stop hating on her. She's incredible!!
GLORIOUS.
Such a good actress and how she wiped her tears away
Literally got chills watching this!! She's so good :)
isabel wade
Especially since moving around so much while singing is hard!
LBB IS A QUEEN!
Laura bell bunny is honestly the best Elle I get the feels every time I see her preform.
i love it, she's the best elle ever!
Laura is even a better Elle than Reese, not that I don't like Reese but Laura is just amazing
lol - not even. Reese IS Elle woods. Laura can sing a storm but her Elle is just a grating blonde and didn't transcend the stereo type like a good Elle should.
Stephen Larner Delusion. Convince yourself.
If someone is that good I shouldn't have to convince myself.
Thats the point.
not really. reese created elle, not laura
1:13 , you can see her start breaking and in a pro way , wipe her tears as if it's part of the show
It's part of the show. She was crying when she found out Warner was engaged but now she feels so much better. Those details are awesome.
Her acting is brilliant
she...is.... AMAZING!
laura was the best elle
i love laura so so much
no one suits this part better. this is laura’s song.
It's like the part of Elle Woods was made for Laura Bell Bundy!!!!!!!!
@@jacub81Autumn gang!
I LOVE her as Elle.
laura bell bundy is definitely the best elle!
I don't think the other Elle's aew bad, Laura Bell is just WAY more entertaining!!
I would've loved to have heard Reese Witherspoon try and sing this song
Reese isn’t a singer really so...
the original movie wasn't a musical tho
Peggy Schuyler try being the key word
She can sing actually, but I don’t think she’s a Broadway belter.
She is great as Elle and Christian Borle is great as Emmett
Laura Bell Bundy IS THE BEST legally blonde of all, END!
Amazing!
2:49 Amazing🤩💗💗💗
omg dequinna's last night
top moments that redefined feminism
Laura Bell Bundy is God
Laura is the only one I've seen so far but I feel if I watch the other ones they have big shoes to fill
I cry
At 2:08 I'm sure Vivian says shit
I came here from heathers and I keep thinking warner is Jd
Mia knutson yes same 😂😂
So... Who's Emmett?
Shakespeare
😭😭
@@whymustielaine9640 what does that mean?
l love her on hart of dixie
The best Elle
Did someone say yes after she said is that my name up on that list or am i hearing things
I actually prefer the spilt final note. Its more interesting.
omg shes doing the dance me and my friends do to work by Rihanna at 2:28
I never noticed how she wipes her eyes before she talks to warner. Just a note
Who is dequinna Moore
Wow
***** She plays Pilar (one of Elle's friends)
My favourite Elle
I'd rather her split the note then to be flat tbh
Was that spin sped up, if not that was so so fast lol
i like annaleigh ashford's version of this song a little better... look it up. it's amazing
I like ashfords for her singing, but Laura's acting is amazing.
Bella Alesandrini good point!
2:02
LBB - best Elle, DeQuina - best Pilar!
I love seeing her on Hart of Dixie, but her talents are wasted on the CW.
Everyone says that Bailey says childish. But honestly I love LBBs voice, bug it sounds too old for college.
Anna A. i know this is old but elle graduated college. she’s in law school which is a while after regular college (where she gets a degree in fashion merchandising) so her voice is actually quite good for the age elle is supposed to be. bailey seemed to young to me.
pilar.
Who’s DeQuina?
She's the one that played Pilar
The only problem with splitting the note is that you could really see in her face and posture that she was struggling to hold it and had to take a breath. It spoils the joy the song's meant to have. She's still fantastic though obviously!
She had a whole in her heart whilst being Elle in legally blonde so controlling her breath was extremely difficult so very understandable. I personally think that it doesn't make a difference still absolutely incredible brought tears to my eyes!
her wig isn't on right lol
PookeTard she's not wearing a wig XD
bloom 107 yes she is.... and that weird dot on her forehead is her hairline coming through... or her mic....
PookeTard watch other videos that have Laura bell buddy in it and you'll see that it is her real hair
bloom 107 its not her real hair lol. She was blonde underneath it but not all over platinum. Besides they never use real hair in these types of things especially something so processed as blonde when they have to style it over and over. Its easier for her to switch wigs than it is for her to flat iron her hair or do a rollerset before the show lol.
PookeTard yeah she is wearing a wig. Especially because her mic runs underneath it. Also she told a story about how it started to peel off on stage once
whos dequina moore
she didn't split the last not. period.
She's the best actress sherdians not I don't know sherdian even got a part
WHAT THE HECKING HECK THAT NOTE IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE WHOLE SONG :(((
+Caroline Stewart I KNOW RIGHT? and she had to do this LIVE EVERY NIGHT. Christine (POTO) the hardest role what....
Laura bell bundy never had a clean finish of this song... just couldnt find a way to wrap it nicely. :(
Hey you try singing out that note which by the way this song is the hardest to sing in the whole musical!!!
Like key wise whipped into to shape is easy to sing but hard to dance
Also try doing this 8 times a week for about a year.
agreed, but she is pretty amazing
I love Laura bell bundy... and I get that she's either singing or dancing or both 90% of the entire play.. but you cant deny that its always like that with "so much better" ... Christian borle, Michael Rupert and Orfeh also have big finishes on their songs but always end up clean
just a little observation with "so much better" Its a hard song, i know... but still
other than that, i pretty much love her on everthing ^_^
I like Bailey better
Oh my god, Sheridan Smith is soooooo much better than LBB. Wow
Did you really come here just to comment that? Sheridan Smith is weaker vocally to me and Laura Belle Bundy will always be my Elle. But I dont spread that opinion around just because. So maybe next time stfu.
No she pissing isnt
Zx
not so so lip sync..
Lip sync? This is live theatre
my man, it's literally broadway 😭
