The past is the past!!! Let it go let it go and I'll rise like the break of dawn let it go let it go those lyrics are special and beautiful I love it and thank you again Samantha you put on a show and you keep on slaying girl
It's kinda crazy, she's worked to change her accent when singing (notice how the harshness of her English accent is gone and she sounds more "American", but this is also from using healthier technique) but now it's to the point where she simply sounds like a completely different person
@@aromaticchicken518 whats harsh about an english accent ....thats about as vauge as saying american accent ....new yorkers talk completely different compared to a texan.
I remember, about 10 years ago, I heard Samantha sing "Defying Gravity" and thought, "She has to play Elphaba in the _Wicked_ movie", and now she's playing Elsa. Samantha's always incredible, but she's particularly good at playing characters originated by Idina.
Not surprising given that during one week of I'd do anything (week 8, I think), Samantha said that Idina was her idol and the start of the first coaching session, you could tell that 17-year-old Sam was starstruck. The song that Samantha sung that week was Defying Gravity. How many youngsters now look up to Samantha?
Her voice is so amazing, I thought she was great in les mis (the only other thing I know her from) and im surprised at how clear and amazing her tone is
@@PianoDisneygal10 Appearently its F3 to Eb5, which is almost identical to Eponine, so Barks can definitely do it. Pretty standard Mezzo stuff. Its the same as the movie too, I think it's just the timbre of her voice that sounds different. Like how Seth MacFarlane singing a D4 as Stan Smith sounds incredibly low but as Roger sounds almost female lol
I really really hope they release the full show starring her. They filmed it before Frozen shut down in the UK this month, they say they'll release it for Disney Plus but no announcements from Disney directly yet.
I have loved Samantha ever since I saw her auditioning for "Oliver". she was one of the best Eponine ever! She looks and sounds amazing as Elsa. Love her❤❤❤
I love this comment thoroughly because she reminds me of Idina, but in her own way, and because Idina is the originator of both roles, this is just an amazing comment.
She is one of my favorite singers, her voice is so beautiful Also for some reason here she reminds me of the Evil Queen from OUAT if the Evil Queen could sing.
I'm sorry but whoever tuned her voice during this performance did a horrible job. They made her sound so autotuned and it doesn't do her voice justice. I saw her back in Oliver in 2013 and even then when she was still quite young for an actress that was doing so well she had so much power in her voice. It sounds too artificial, I can't wait to hear a version of her live, I'm sure it'll sound way better!
Something's really bothering me about the colour of her wig tbf. I hope they change it a little bit, make it a tiny bit darker, like they did with Ciara Renée's on Broadway. This is far too light for Samantha, or it's just poor lighting in the theatre...
@@saxorsaxofon88 I think they mean more ashy rather than “darker”, this wig is very brassy where as in reality an icier colour would be an ash blonde rather than a yellowy blonde
Presumably because this was a concert version for the Royal Variety Performance. I imagine there's only so much they can accommodate when they have to fit about 25 different acts on the same stage.
I hope they changed the choreo for Love is an Open Door. It was kinda cringey. I also hope they brought back For the First Time in Forever Reprise with I Can’t Lose You.
This Number will be in the original pitch from the motion picture of Frozen for Disneyland Paris Frozen Musical with 2 actresses 1 Actor from Disney’s Fancy Nancy & 1 Actor from Sofia the first the songs will be the same but with 2 additional songs from the 2COND frozen
I love Samantha and her version of this song. She actually sings it and not screams it. However, I feel it could be more dynamic. For some reason, it seems to come across a bit boring compared to others but still an absolutely astounding talent.
Although I loved Danielle Hope, Samantha should have been cast as Dorothy. But maybe it was a blessing as we don’t hear much of Miss Hope. Samantha has had more success.
She should have been Belle in the Live action movie then at lease Belle could have acted and they even could have put "home" in the movie... i hate Capitalism it ruins so much potentially amazing art!
Great performance by Samantha but sad to see the Ciara renee's version blocked. Would be awesome if anyone had that vid somewhere i could watch. What about you Zachary? Could you maybe provide a cloud link or something like that?
2008: Idina Menzel mentors Samantha on I'd Do Anything 2020: Samantha originates the role of Elsa. Foreshadowing much? Also, we now know who Samantha was who Olaf was looking for xD
Olaf finally found Samantha! She's a queen. I'm so happy she's going to be Elsa on the West End, she absolutely deserves it ❤️
Haha true!
Yeah 100 percent true
Saw her last year at West End. She has got this lovely stage presence.
LOL That's a good one. 😂
The past is the past!!! Let it go let it go and I'll rise like the break of dawn let it go let it go those lyrics are special and beautiful I love it and thank you again Samantha you put on a show and you keep on slaying girl
From Éponine to Elsa... Absolutely flawless! I hope to see her next summer!
you know she’s done more than this and les mis right? 😂
@@paige5665
Yes, I know; but these are probably the roles she is best known for.
And what about Elphaba?
@@chrisp4170
She’s never played Elphaba.
Saw her a few weeks ago as Elsa. Just fabulous!
Epinone realising she doesnt need Marius:
🤣🤣🤣🤣
RIP Eponine 🥺
Was in the process of being moved by her singing. Then this comment cracked me 😂😂😂😂
Good one
YES!
She was born for this role ...love how she has evolved over the years
It's kinda crazy, she's worked to change her accent when singing (notice how the harshness of her English accent is gone and she sounds more "American", but this is also from using healthier technique) but now it's to the point where she simply sounds like a completely different person
@@aromaticchicken518 whats harsh about an english accent ....thats about as vauge as saying american accent ....new yorkers talk completely different compared to a texan.
Sings it better Idina 😬
@@aromaticchicken518she isn’t English. She’s Manx.
I remember, about 10 years ago, I heard Samantha sing "Defying Gravity" and thought, "She has to play Elphaba in the _Wicked_ movie", and now she's playing Elsa. Samantha's always incredible, but she's particularly good at playing characters originated by Idina.
I still think her personality was MADE for elphie
Are you kidding? She's not a good enough singer. Case and point - this video.
Not surprising given that during one week of I'd do anything (week 8, I think), Samantha said that Idina was her idol and the start of the first coaching session, you could tell that 17-year-old Sam was starstruck.

She is absolutely fabulous ! The best Elsa ever !!! Wow ! What a voice ! What a show !
She is the first Elsa that doesn’t sound like she’s trying too hard. It sounds so natural and smooth. Sam did great 👌🏼✨
Cassie Levy is up there. Her belts are effortless.
@@louise9489 I don't like the sound of her voice. Still sounds forced to me. Not saying she's a bad singer, because it's amazing what she can do!
@@LisaMariavanHarmelen Oh that's subjective then lol alright
@@louise9489 yes it is. I didn’t mean to force this opinion on others. English is not my native language.
@@LisaMariavanHarmelen Mine too! Haha cheers x
Flawless. Tough song to nail and she even put her own flare in!
It wasn't flawless. It had more flaws than good bits.
Her voice is so amazing, I thought she was great in les mis (the only other thing I know her from) and im surprised at how clear and amazing her tone is
Eponine freezes the barricades over!
Underrated comment🤩🚩🚩
So nice to hear someone who actually has control of this music…
Watched this with my mum when it aired. Knew we had to go see the show. 2 days ago we finally did and her performance was breathtaking.
She fits the role perfectly and smashes the song
Smashes it into the remnants of a good song.
Love her voice! Perfect role for her!
She is so beautiful and talented she pulled this with passion and heart for this thank you Samantha and thank you Jesus
She was absolutely perfect!!! I’m still coming back to this 2 months after seeing it - I’ll never forget. I’m 62
You must be joking?
@@wrightyywhy? we watched the show twice already and we are still amazed when she sings
Absolutely amazing! Samantha never disappoints, very talented!
I'm really hoping for she to be Elphaba at the Wicked movie.
Her or Lea Michelle
@@coolbae1998 💀💀💀
@@coolbae1998 if that racist is anywhere near that wicked movie, no one is watching
@@coolbae1998no Lea Michelle is bad
No no. She's white.
WOW. I mean... WOW!!!!!!! Very admirable version of Let It Go and she actually does have a little Elsa-esque looks about her! Well cast!
Her vocals my gosh. She's a goddess 😍😍
You don't have a good ear, do you?
Samantha Barks is always a treat but I really wanted to see the custom change :´)
Yeah me too
Can’t it wait to see her in April!! ♥️🥳
her dress is SO PRETTY OMF
Love how she sings in a lower key, cause i have her voice type and i cam guide myself on singing by listening to her. 🖤
What was the original? I didn't think it was that high.
I think the key was lowered for the musical version on both Broadway and West End. I may be incorrect though.
@@PianoDisneygal10 Appearently its F3 to Eb5, which is almost identical to Eponine, so Barks can definitely do it. Pretty standard Mezzo stuff. Its the same as the movie too, I think it's just the timbre of her voice that sounds different. Like how Seth MacFarlane singing a D4 as Stan Smith sounds incredibly low but as Roger sounds almost female lol
@@andrewbloom7694 that makes sense, too. I have just always thought this version sounded slightly lower, no matter who was singing it.
She redeems this song and character. Absolute perfection
she‘s perfect for this role!
Samantha Barks and Jessie Buckley.. from “ I’d do anything “ to world wide critical acclaim 👏👏👏
She is just gorgeous! And her performance is excellent.
I really really hope they release the full show starring her. They filmed it before Frozen shut down in the UK this month, they say they'll release it for Disney Plus but no announcements from Disney directly yet.
I have loved Samantha ever since I saw her auditioning for "Oliver". she was one of the best Eponine ever! She looks and sounds amazing as Elsa. Love her❤❤❤
I fell in love with her before I'd do anything. Groove High.
The best actress ever in this role!
Always love these performances.
Samantha barks is literally the best Elsa ! She is so so so talented
wowwww...the best actress
Love this.... I'm drawn back to when she did defying gravity..... her Elphaba is really showing in this performance, but that's not a bad thing.....
I love this comment thoroughly because she reminds me of Idina, but in her own way, and because Idina is the originator of both roles, this is just an amazing comment.
Just saw Frozen the musical this weekend in Sydney. Amazing musical. Elsa was played by Jemma Rix. Both amazing Elsas.
Ugh jealous. Still don't even feel safe going to get groceries in the US lol
Why do I like all the way in the states?! Ugh. She is a beautiful Elsa! ❄️❄️❄️
She actually reminds me of the Elsa I saw on Broadway..... Standby Alyssa Fox. Slaying it!!! Samantha is so talented.
Olaf! We found a Samantha!!!! 🤣
Perfect!☃️
I love Elsa from frozen because she is my favorite
She smashed it like a boss 💪😎
WHO DIDNT TELL ME THAT THIS HAPPENED??? 😍
"On my own
On my own
Can't hold it back anymore!"
Shes awesome! Loved her since les mis.
So freaking smooth!
What an inspiration, the song, melody, lyrics & of course Samantha s performance, thanks for sharing 👌😀
love her voice so much...
beautiful!
She is one of my favorite singers, her voice is so beautiful
Also for some reason here she reminds me of the Evil Queen from OUAT if the Evil Queen could sing.
Bellissimo!!!
She looks like a young Chenoweth with that wig!
That smile 1:27 😍, Sam is so sweet
Ikr 🥺🥺
I made a gif of it as well, couldn’t resist 🤪
I'm sorry but whoever tuned her voice during this performance did a horrible job. They made her sound so autotuned and it doesn't do her voice justice. I saw her back in Oliver in 2013 and even then when she was still quite young for an actress that was doing so well she had so much power in her voice. It sounds too artificial, I can't wait to hear a version of her live, I'm sure it'll sound way better!
i saw this in September--she is just amazing
Omg she is azaming hope to see her
Amazing!
The beat elsa ever
Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful
Very nice. I love you Sam.
Beautiful!
Elsa's (Samantha and Ciara Renee) They are my favorites 💕
she deserves Elphaba in the Wicked movie more than anybody else.
it's not a question, just plain reality
Yes 😭
Love you Samantha too much
Hopefully this opens. I should be the cast in May.
Pretty Girl Great Voice
Something's really bothering me about the colour of her wig tbf. I hope they change it a little bit, make it a tiny bit darker, like they did with Ciara Renée's on Broadway. This is far too light for Samantha, or it's just poor lighting in the theatre...
agree!
Yea why try to cast a person that actually looks lile that character...
@@saxorsaxofon88 I think they mean more ashy rather than “darker”, this wig is very brassy where as in reality an icier colour would be an ash blonde rather than a yellowy blonde
Incredible 😊
Nice voice
you post all of the let it go
Samantha is the best ❤️
There are only two kinds of people: those who have sung along to 'Let it go' whilst walking around mimicking Elsa's movements in the movie, and liars.
Samantha was perfect, but does anyone know why they didn't do the dress change: that was a jaw-dropping moment on stage.
Presumably because this was a concert version for the Royal Variety Performance. I imagine there's only so much they can accommodate when they have to fit about 25 different acts on the same stage.
She looks the fucking best Elsa. She is the closest to her appearance out of all the other castings for Elsa.
And in the middle of the pandemic no less! Sam is an icon! 🤩
I hope they changed the choreo for Love is an Open Door. It was kinda cringey. I also hope they brought back For the First Time in Forever Reprise with I Can’t Lose You.
Good time to listen to this I suppose 🤔
I pray they change the set and add a staircase and a better ice castle
Yes, they will. This performance is not at same theater.
@@zacharystravels621 no I meant from the Broadway staging. It was kind of underwhelming. Even the theme park has a staircase.
@@NairAthul Ah, yes. I agree with you! Frozen: Live at the Hyperion did a wonderful job with their staircase.
Wow
This Number will be in the original pitch from the motion picture of Frozen for Disneyland Paris Frozen Musical with 2 actresses 1 Actor from Disney’s Fancy Nancy & 1 Actor from Sofia the first the songs will be the same but with 2 additional songs from the 2COND frozen
She’s beautiful to me.
Sorry of reminds me of Chenoweth, in appearance, with the wig.
Frozen is overated but this girl just makes everthing better
I love Samantha and her version of this song. She actually sings it and not screams it. However, I feel it could be more dynamic. For some reason, it seems to come across a bit boring compared to others but still an absolutely astounding talent.
Although I loved Danielle Hope, Samantha should have been cast as Dorothy. But maybe it was a blessing as we don’t hear much of Miss Hope. Samantha has had more success.
They were in different competitions. Sam competed to be Nancy, not Dorothy. 💛
She should have been Belle in the Live action movie then at lease Belle could have acted and they even could have put "home" in the movie... i hate Capitalism it ruins so much potentially amazing art!
No tak jestli Disney bude pokračovat v předělávkách animovaných hitů na hrané,tak v případě Frozen je role Elsy jasná.👍
Great performance by Samantha but sad to see the Ciara renee's version blocked. Would be awesome if anyone had that vid somewhere i could watch.
What about you Zachary? Could you maybe provide a cloud link or something like that?
I wish I could, but it is taken down for now. If I figure out another way, I’ll let everyone know!
Barks is pretty .
If you can be Elsa or elphaba / any other of Idina parts you can play all of them !!
I saw this
Samantha??! ⛄️
That’s what I was gonna say! 😂🤪
2008: Idina Menzel mentors Samantha on I'd Do Anything
2020: Samantha originates the role of Elsa.
Foreshadowing much?
Also, we now know who Samantha was who Olaf was looking for xD
She's great, but I really can't see any other vocalist this song is made for than Idina Menzel.
Someone tell me why did I read the title as if she’s gon bark the song??
BYE this comment sent me 😭😭😭
Was she miming, does anyone know? To much of a flawless performance to be real. Hats off to her if she wasn’t.
I have a feeling it's autotuned. You can apply autotune to live performances in real time, not just to studio recordings.
Can’t see a Microphone so more than likely it’s just a track
@@dancutd the microphone is hidden in her wig, she has confirmed that
I would like to see Sam cover Aqua's Barbie Girl.
I love this, but I definitely would have preferred to see her perform a Pretty Woman number.
Epinone, Elsa and I hope one day Elphaba
Did samantha change her hair colour as she's black and in frozen she's blonde hair
She’s wearing a wig.
I feel like the auto tune here just ruins what Samantha naturally has
