Princess Puffer’s acting carries maturity beyond her years. She’s totally believable as an older and experienced woman. Every movement held meaning, every line carried multiple meanings. Like dude, your physical acting is on point!! You walked in character, everything in character and everything awesome. Also your voice?? So full and awesome and just....Hell yeah Felicity, hell yeah. Also the whole thing was hilarious. So funny, and none of the lines were funny, you’re just so hilarious and awesome. Also the accent is just the right mix of believable and fake theatre accenty, you know what I mean? Maybe not. Whatever, I loved it. Mary Poppins!!! Betsy did an AWESOME job of just inhabiting the character. That’s so hard to do and she killed it. Cinderella!!! 1) I love your voice. 2) you did an awesome job discovering each line, making it seem like you didn’t know what you were going to say next, it didn’t look over practiced, it looked real, and lovely, and awesome!! Get it, Sierra. You guys did so great!!! I wish my school did the Jimmy’s so that I could see the show or even maybe get up on stage myself!! Wish I could have been there to see you all perform live.
Her name is Renee Rapp! I’m obsessed with her (clearly she’s my profile pic lol) and she’s done a cover of She Used To Be Mine and it’s UNREAL! She was Regina George in Mean Girls before broadway shut down
Came here for Renee, but I keep replaying Tiyanna Gentry's part because oh my god, why didn't she win?? This rendition of the witch is so emotional and real. It's less grungy and angry, but that makes the performance more powerful in a subtle way. Tiyanna's witch is desperate, so the audience has a better understanding of her motivations instead of seeing "a bad guy" or a "villain", which is the entire point of the character. This actress deserves to be cast on the big stage.
The vulture writer who went backstage to this event and called that night that Renee rapp would end up in mean girls said her iPhone kept correcting Titanna’s name as Rihanna in her iPhone, which she said was her iPhone naturally confusing the two because they’re both superstars
SO RENÉE SIIIINNNNGGG! I HEARD HER TONE AND THEN THE RIFF AND WAS LIKE WELP SHE WON😂! The witch and Cinderella were also amazing, the witch gave me chills with her acting and vocals, and Cinderella’s voice gave me chills. However, Mary from Sister Act got ROBBED. Girl could SING but hers was soooo short compared to everyone else’s. Mary you have such a HUGE FUTURE, I CAN’T WAIT FOR YOUR BROADWAY DEBUT!
I liked how they incorporated all the actresses into the line during Cassie's song just like all the actors in A Chorus line return to "the line" following most of the numbers.
Honestly, they only ever pick students from richer schools and it’s kinda sad. Like they all like supermodels up there and it’s kinda sad because their schools are supportive of the arts. My school tries it’s best, but we never get any recognition because our school doesn’t care about us.
It’s because to get to the Jimmy’s you first need to be a lead in a qualifying grand musical at a school with an amazing theatre program (usually a rich school bc the arts are underfunded anyways) and you need to live close enough to a local theatre awards program (in cities like LA, NYC, Chicago, SF, etc…) so schools not in a certain radius of that aren’t eligible… it’s so unfortunate
Rhealee Fernandez- Your comment is precisely what was going through my mind watching this. They did Natalie Doppelt dirty. But she still did wonderful with what she had.
Rhealee Fernandez is there a video of her rendition? I’d love to hear it. We just did Sister Act at my school last year, I played Eddie Souther and was the director and our Sister Mary Robert was phenomenal, but I’d love to see a different version!!
David Eaton, Jr.- th-cam.com/video/fouGrrA-qms/w-d-xo.html It’s incredible. This video is her highlights from her school’s production of Sister Act, I believe. She’s so awesome. Such a talent.
J. J. She’s incredible in the role. I actually was the drummer for that production and was lucky enough to hear her sing that song every night and it was incredible.
Felicity (Princess Puffer) is so TALENTED!! My brother went to high school with her and played John Jasper and that show was AMAZING! The Myster of Edwin Drood is definitely an underrated musical. I cannot wait to see all these girls careers flourish.
All of them sound amazing 😭😭 but Sandra, The Witch, and Tracy had to be my favorites. I also really enjoyed Princess Puffer’s performance a lot her acting and comedic timing was great! Great job ladies!!
Like how good are High School productions in USA that you can turn up and hear leads bust out numbers like this????flipping heck! Just trying to imagine myself in a UK school hall listening to this singing from teenagers! I would be on my feet the whole time!!!!
Man I’ve been watching this for months and people need to pay more attention to the Jane and Mary Poppins like they may be roles people underrate but THEY USED THEIR TIME TO SLAY
Yeah, she did, when she performed Tracy she usually doesn't I guess she wanted to add something because of the awards but she's usually not so uh.. extra.
I love making myself feel WORSE about myself
Carrie Wood I felt that
Periodt
The way I FELT this-
Ok but the witch.... Like holy crap she sounds torn and broken but still beautiful and goddam the emotion in the voice
Ok if Renneé wasn’t in this line up I would have totally picked the Witch because WOW
the witch was AMAZING the first five of them are, SO good
The first girl is going to be Regina George on broadway in September!
wait WHAT
actually shes already started
Dustin Donut she’s doing a 3 week stint while Taylor is on Holiday and starts full time from September

Saw her in November, she was fantastic
The girl who played the witch from into the woods, gave me chills in every line.

i think she should play regina george one day
Lmao at the thumbnail of them all standing on the classic broadway “female engenue belt pose”
PLS
renee is so captivating, everytime the camera zoomed out my eyes would go straight to her. Her stage presence is EVERYTHING!!

Aww... Thank you. 💕
Felicity Bryant oh my god seriously though. You KILLED it.
100% my favorite in this medley because you were just so much FUN to watch
Omg, your performance was AMAZING!!!
Thank you!
Okay the first girl is PERFECT for Waitress
Elisha she actually just had her broadway debut as Regina George in Mean Girls!
There’s a cover of her singing she used to be mine on TH-cam
...or mean girls
Isabella Drakos dude calm down, the comment was posted a year ago
Her name is Renee Rapp! I’m obsessed with her (clearly she’s my profile pic lol) and she’s done a cover of She Used To Be Mine and it’s UNREAL! She was Regina George in Mean Girls before broadway shut down
It’s nice to see someone play the witch and not sing last midnight, incredible performance from everyone
Seeing Reneé in this then now her on broadway just gives me a smile
why aren’t we talking about the sister act and the chorus line like THEY WERE SO GOOD
This had some of the best vocals from any Jimmy Awards medley I’ve heard. Congrats to Reneè for winning, but they all sounded great!
Princess Puffer never ceases to amaze me. Such a stand out. Perfect physical acting and comedic timing. I also adore Reneé & Natalie.
Came here for Renee, but I keep replaying Tiyanna Gentry's part because oh my god, why didn't she win?? This rendition of the witch is so emotional and real.

came for renee, stayed for the witch 😍🥴
Yo, Renee is amazing, but Jesus Christ, the Witch had so much emotion! And Mary Poppins just dazzled!
SO RENÉE SIIIINNNNGGG! I HEARD HER TONE AND THEN THE RIFF AND WAS LIKE WELP SHE WON😂! The witch and Cinderella were also amazing, the witch gave me chills with her acting and vocals, and Cinderella’s voice gave me chills.
However, Mary from Sister Act got ROBBED. Girl could SING but hers was soooo short compared to everyone else’s. Mary you have such a HUGE FUTURE, I CAN’T WAIT FOR YOUR BROADWAY DEBUT!
“mary poppins, mary poppins” TOOK ME OUT LMAO
OK WHY IS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM INCREDIBLE
Princess puffer is so darn awesome dang
The witch tho. The witchhhh my pearls.
why aren’t we talking about natalie as mary robert.... incredible
SO TRUE
I liked how they incorporated all the actresses into the line during Cassie's song just like all the actors in A Chorus line return to "the line" following most of the numbers.
Renee Rapp - GOD! The angels that live in her throat. DAMN!
Honestly, they only ever pick students from richer schools and it’s kinda sad. Like they all like supermodels up there and it’s kinda sad because their schools are supportive of the arts. My school tries it’s best, but we never get any recognition because our school doesn’t care about us.
Emma’s Explorations Tiyanna is from a super supportive public school
Yep. It's unfortunate.
the jimmy's are honestly suuuuuuper classist ngl
Broadway as a whole is pretty classist considering theatre rose from those being oppressed
It’s because to get to the Jimmy’s you first need to be a lead in a qualifying grand musical at a school with an amazing theatre program (usually a rich school bc the arts are underfunded anyways) and you need to live close enough to a local theatre awards program (in cities like LA, NYC, Chicago, SF, etc…) so schools not in a certain radius of that aren’t eligible… it’s so unfortunate
Okay but are you kidding me TIYANNA!!! Her voice is amazing. The emotion, the unique tone- I’m speechless.
I think the girl who played Mary Robert was at a disadvantage... that was a very wimpy segment of Life I Never Led
For real! She was one of the best ones, so I was disappointed it was such a short snippet :/
Rhealee Fernandez-
Your comment is precisely what was going through my mind watching this.
They did Natalie Doppelt dirty. But she still did wonderful with what she had.
Rhealee Fernandez is there a video of her rendition? I’d love to hear it. We just did Sister Act at my school last year, I played Eddie Souther and was the director and our Sister Mary Robert was phenomenal, but I’d love to see a different version!!

J. J. She’s incredible in the role. I actually was the drummer for that production and was lucky enough to hear her sing that song every night and it was incredible.
imagine performing with THE renee rap and not even knowing what’s coming for her future
and omg the girl from hairspray? HELLO??
I think Mary Poppins, Renee, and the Witch From Into The Woods were the best
the jimmys really did natalie doppelt dirty tbh her full life i never had is honestly a revelation
why is no one talking about Mary Poppins? she was incredible, man!
agreed! I was just in a show with her and she’s so talented!
@@davie9944 ahh what show???
@@davie9944 yeah I did a show with Betsy as well three months after she got nominated for the jimmy awards
For anyone wondering, all of these girls are incredibly lovely people! I miss all of them so much. Great job girls!
Were you one of the nominees? If so, which character did you play?
@@davie9944 she played Amalia Balish and was in the third medley
Felicity (Princess Puffer) is so TALENTED!! My brother went to high school with her and played John Jasper and that show was AMAZING! The Myster of Edwin Drood is definitely an underrated musical. I cannot wait to see all these girls careers flourish.
Tiyanna / The Witch actually brought me to tears I was not ready holy crap
sister act should’ve gotten more time :( she was so good!
AGREED
Omg….she was giving me everything❤️✨
THANK YOU, I’ve been saying this. She is a beast of a vocalist and hers was so short:(
Pre-Regina Renee footage has landed in my lap and I love it just as much as everything else I've heard her sing
I can’t take my eyes off Renee at 10:20. That delivery and expression (even as an ensemble) was eye catching and superb. It’s no wonder she won.
All of them sound amazing 😭😭 but Sandra, The Witch, and Tracy had to be my favorites. I also really enjoyed Princess Puffer’s performance a lot her acting and comedic timing was great! Great job ladies!!
Elvin Stewart I didn't think Tracy did good at all 😬
The Chorus Line girl would be a perfect Elle Woods
She plays regina in mean girls
MudWolf wrong girl lol
PotatoFamine lmao
tiyanna gentry is amazingly talented good lord
Is she related to Antonia Gentry the actress? ❤
natalie doppelt is insane!!!!
And I LOVE the supportive smile Annabelle gets when each girl kills their section
ANNABELLE DUFFY. WHAT A STAR. And Sierra too!! Everyone here was absolutely amazing!
The girl who played the Witch. She freaking killed it!!!
Renee is just outstanding but I bloody love Mary Roberts and the orchestration with the guitar in that part!
Reneé’s facial hair expressions during the hairspray bit 😂
i love her so so much
Like how good are High School productions in USA that you can turn up and hear leads bust out numbers like this????flipping heck! Just trying to imagine myself in a UK school hall listening to this singing from teenagers! I would be on my feet the whole time!!!!
Every single young woman that performed was AMAZING such a pleasure to watch all this talent!
THAT CINDERELLA THOUGH!! she's amazing!
I think we can agree this the strongest medley in Jimmy history?!?!
This was a pretty solid group! I went back to hear Annabelle's smooth runs! WOW!
Cordara Newson as did I
3:49 Reneé's expressions as the other girls are singing are just priceless
(girl in the blue dress)
Why is nobody talking about Jane Porter? She was my favorite of the group and deserves WAY more credit than she’s getting.
Rachel Perkins I agree!
I love her! I was actually nominated alongside her when she won! She’s incredible!
this cassie is INCREDIBLE
Honestly....all these girls were so good. This is one of the Jimmy videos I always watch all the way through and repeat most sections.
Big Fish was my first show shook that this is in here
I am completely wowed by the level of artistry for these to be high school students. Fantastic!
All of them seem so happy to be there i love it
All the girls in this lineup were super talented
It’s so funny seeing comments about Renee before she became a freaking Broadway star
I loved the acting from Felicity and Betsy so much, and my favorite vocals were Renee and Aria
I loved Betsy as Mary Poppins ❤️
OMGmynameisLILI - Lili Martínez yea same
Betsy Miller is getting slept on she is AMAZING
The girl after the witch has a beautiful voice
anoushka she is so sweet
I would give anything to have an ounce of the talent these girls have 😫
Annabelle Duffy IS A STARRRRRRR
Should’ve let Cassie dance, c’mon guys.
the 2nd girl is so adorable and talented
I love the riff on good morning Baltimore
YAY!! One of my favorite times of the year! Wow these girls can sing. Some of the best vocals I have heard on this show
Renee Rap is totally the best broadway idol!!
Man I’ve been watching this for months and people need to pay more attention to the Jane and Mary Poppins like they may be roles people underrate but THEY USED THEIR TIME TO SLAY
The harmonies for the Urinetown song are stunning.
I’m so excited for the jimmy’s this year🤩 I go to school with one of the nominees for best actor and I can’t wait to see him perform!!
Ok the tracy added TOO MANY RUNS AND LICKS changed tracy too much (Btw shes incredible it just doesnt match tracy)
Kaitlin Sings sorry that you’re jealous lolz
Steven Taylor Jr. it just didn’t have the character of tracy. the licks were out of place/style
Yeah, she did, when she performed Tracy she usually doesn't I guess she wanted to add something because of the awards but she's usually not so uh.. extra.
This is staged absolutely beautifully
they are all SO amazing!!!!
The witch!!!! Goosebumps during the whole thing!!!!
Johanna L. AMAZING!!! I'm blown away!!
I love Renee Rapp soooo much!
the witch is so helpless and sad omg i love it
