I agree. All singers who are really good should be able to sound better live. Yes, recordings are tuned to be flawless but you can't see the personality and feel the emotion like you can with live versions. No one is a perfect singer but little "flaws" that a singer has makes it all the more better and beautiful
She's 4'11". It's just amazing a person her size can fill up a stage like she does. I liked the woman in the audience at 1:55 and how the pianist, (conductor) got so swept into this as it built . Ms Chenoweth can really sell a song. She was born to do this.
Kristin has a bachelor's degree in musical theater, and a master's degree in opera performance. She knows what she's doing. Regarding her height, Linda Ronstadt is 5'2", and she had a powerful, versatile voice. Judy Garland was 4'11", and she sure could sing. Height has nothing to do with singing or musical ability. I'm 5'1", and have been playing the piano for 54 years. My height is irrelevant when it comes to playing the 88 keys.
@@ericandsarahsmom1000 You are correct. Now that you mention it, size doesn't have anything to do with talent. If someone 4'11" has "the pipes". I did not know Judy Garland was also 4'11". I was just thinking it takes a lot of voice strength for Broadwayand opera singers especially because they've got to get the song all the way to the back of the house. Ms Chenoweth can do that.
Good things come in small packages! I'm 5'5" tall and for a man that means I am rarely taken seriously, hardly noticed and passed over unless or until I open my mouth and fill the hall with my voice- - I can't sing like she does but I can and do sing. The big ones just fall harder and the air is thinner up there soooo... don't underestimate the little ones. LOL.
You're totally right. I've just spent too much of my time listening to crappy singers. It's so refreshing to listen to someone who has, you know. Talent.
Kristin doesn't get enough credit. I think if more folks heard her she definitely would. No one can hear her voice, and not be changed! She IS AMAZING, TRUE! I have been to 3 of her Shows. The last two were on consecutive nights. and She Always sounds so Amazing! Kristin has such power, yet a softness in her voice. She is the Greatest Singer I have ever heard for sure! I was so honored to be able to meet her after the show in Nashville on 12-8-15. She was "so happy to finally meet me!" She is the Sweetest Lady I know. So talented yet down to earth also! Hear her Strong voice on Hard Times Come Again No More... th-cam.com/video/H6FVvh7vjwc/w-d-xo.html -- She is Amazing!
@@kaidanlane5708 A 'degree' adds nothing. You either have 'it' or you don't. Did Elvis, Sinatra, Cher, The Beatles, Julie Andrews, Neil Diamond, etc. have a degree? Were they somehow lacking without a degree? No, they weren't lacking, and they each surpassed KC in spades.
@@waynemizer4912 yeah, no. Opera is a highly technical and artistic form of singing. Having a Masters in Opera means she had studied in a respectable school and that she is a great singer.
Wow!! That build up!! I don't see her sing super serious often. Her singing usually contain some sort of gags here and there (or the song would be something happy and positive in nature). Even in the glee version, the setting is kinda comedic. I'm very surprised at the level of seriousness of this performance. This is just so well put together, she drove the idea of the "crazy and desperate woman" home. Amazing piece!!
The Lady is Phenomenal! If YOU ever get a chance to see her in concert...Please do Yourself a favor, go see her sing. You will not regret or forget it!
All the people going on about her face jobs, yeah, okay, she's probably gone to get her face done, and yes, she doesn't look like the sweet Glinda or Sally Brown she was years ago, but come on - that was YEARS ago. She isn't Peter Pan. Close your eyes. Listen to that power. Hear the melody. Feel the music and emotion. Do you like what you hear? Yes? Open your eyes. Does her face REALLY matter?
This version is so much more dramatic than her Glee version!! The maturity of her interpretation has raised this song to a much higher level. FABULOUS!! A JOY TO WATCH AGAIN AND AGAIN!!
@@antm64 Welllll….wait a minute, lol. Like you, it’s pure joy to watch this over and over and I’m in awe! However, have you seen this , by Philip Quast , 3-time winner of the Laurence Olivier award?!Different type of song, but again, the performance and vocals! Music is my soulmate! ❤️❤️❤️ sigh… th-cam.com/video/urxk4mveLCw/w-d-xo.html
I absolutely love every single minute of this!! What wonderful performances by such talented people!! Watched Liza Minnelli performance and love all the different performances.
Yep. She does that. It is quite a feat. I have to say it works well. The original with Oscar winning Liza Minelli was a beautiful piece of work cos it was endearing that she came across as meaning every word on phrasings and stresses. Kristina does a damn good job of a song she has mastered, seriously. Technically excellent and she does believe in how she is performing this. A Quality Act.
Maybe this time, I'll be lucky Maybe this time, he'll stay Maybe this time, for the first time Love won't hurry away He will hold me fast I'll be home at last Not a loser anymore Like the last time And the time before Everybody loves a winner So nobody loved me 'Lady Peaceful', 'Lady Happy' That's what I long to be Well, all the odds are, they are in my favor Something's bound to begin It's gotta happen, happen sometime Maybe this time, I'll win 'Cause everybody, oh, they love a winner So nobody loved me 'Lady Peaceful', 'Lady Happy' That's what I long to be Well, all the odds are, they are in my favor Something's bound to begin It's gotta happen, happen sometime Maybe this time Maybe this time, I'll win
YES. That is something that is so AMAZING about Kristin Chenoweth. If You get a chance to see her live in concert You need to. Kristin has the most AMAZINGLY Clear Full Voice of ANY Singer I have ever heard. She has a four octave range. A Coloratura Soprano that is the BEST EVER! Take a look at some of her other TH-cams, You will be so entertained! "A Song has no Better Friend than Kristin Chenoweth!"
Okay I have to do it. Here's a little Vocal Breakdown of this stunning performance! 0:16 - Very conversational in the way she is singing as if she is talking to the to every audience member personally. This is acieved by a few things, one being the way she sings the lyrics: eg. "lucky" is still on pitch but not really sung, just spoken instead. 0:21 - On the word stay, one of many Crescendos she uses to evoke a tense feeling as the song builds. This performance is full of these. 0:25 - Again very conversational in approach, not too overly sung. Stunning tone and pitch. 0:31 - "Away" another crescendo and her vibrato builds in tempo too. 0:36 - "He will hold me fast" very seductive with how she goes to the consonant of "s" in the word "fast". Slightly more of a head voice quality here too. 0:52 - "Like the last time" a stronger chest voice here with STUNNING vibrato (I love Kristen's vibrato, it's perfection). This stronger chest voice here evokes further emotion for the lyrics. This performance is full of emotive singing and wonderful story telling. 0:54 - An octave change from a G4 to a G3 on the word "time". Her resonance and vibrato here is amazing, very difficult to achieve on a lower note like a G3. 0:59 - This "everybody" hits differently. The "body" is more open than the few other times this word was sung. The "loves a winner" here is so good! The acting here is amazing and she is making us believe every word she sings! Great story telling! 1:10 - "Lady peaceful" the "peace" has a subtle change to head voice here then back to chest for "ful" with a lovely vibrato and change in vowel placement with almost an "ah" at the end. 1:18 - I love this "be". It has intent and power and the climb up from a G4 to G#4 to A for the new key of F major is flawless and a great way of building the song. 1:22 - Notice how Kristen is almost behind the beat of the song here with "all the odds are in my favor". This is syncopation and it's yet another technique Kristen uses to build the song further before the final climax. 1:29 - "Begin" Notice her locked jaw position that literally does not move for the duration of the note. Great chest belt on a difficult vowel at a C5 with masterful vibrato. 1:33 - This is more of a mix than a chest note with "It's gonna" well placed but lacks the power that her full chest voice has. Still a nice little growl on the "it's" and a great note! 1:36 - "Happen some time" Wanted to point out that on the word "time" she actually goes almost completely back into her chest voice here. Shows us how Kristen has fantastic control over her voice. 1:59 - OMG! THIS! "maybe this time I'll win" she uses her whole body to emphasise those notes and intensify her vibrato as she goes into the climax of the song. 1:43 - "Cause" has almost a slide down from the top note of C5 carried by her vibrato. 1:44 - Straight down an octave to a B3 still keeping the power and pitch perfect. 1:50 - "So nobody loved me" Great soar on "loved" with a 5 note interval up to an G#4 with a fantastic vibrato and tone on "me". 1:56 - Lovely slide on "lady" hitting a B4 2:00 - Incredible chest note on G#4 climbing up semi tones from A4 to Bb4 into the new key. 2:05 - "All the odds are" more syncopation and omg that TONE and resonance on "are" is outstanding. 2:10 - "Something's bound to begin" Kristen uses more slides her for each syllable to reach the notes in her chest voice. The "begin" hits a great C#5, a tiny bit shaky in the middle, but Kristen saves it like a pro! 2:15 - Here's that fantastic growl mix again on an insane D#5! 2:17 - To me iconic from Glee, the "ha ha" adds so much happiness to the performance as if she really is finally going to win! 2:20 - "Maybe this time" Note her wide mouth so she can place the notes perfectly for resonance and power. Some extra growls and a huge smile too! She's gonna win! 2:22 - "Maybe this time" Here she changes her emotion on the word "time" immediately. So much more intensity! And her pitch is incredible such precision with high belts like this alternating between the C#5 and the D#5. 2:26 - "I'll win" fantastic belt with her vibrato steady and in time. The wide mouth allows for excellent placement here and the exaggerated "wha" at the start of the word "win" allows a singer to place the note easier before the vowel is sung. 3:33 - I honestly was waiting for this. Her Glee performance of this is one of my favourite things of all time. Here she demonstrates her classical training and her very impressive range. That's a B5 folks. A B5. The vibrato here is incredible again, her voice really shines on notes like this! I hope you all enjoyed! I do this on performances or songs that I find inspiring and make me want to better my vocal abilities. Kristen is phenomenal and quite frankly, an icon and I hope you learned a little something from this post! If you want, check out some of my covers on my channel, or some of my other vocal breakdowns on some other videos!
Oh my god I am in awe. I just love her. She's brilliant. The little "ha-ha" just shows how little things can make a performance 10 times better. This is a different interpretation of the song, yes. But I love it. You have to respect different interpretations and changes the actor wants to make. I thought it was brilliant
I have seen her in concert 3 times. LOVED EVERY second of it EVERY Time! I have met her also. There is not a more Sweeter & Kinder Lady on this planet! She was so happy to meet me. Her voice is just AMAZING! The happiest time in my life was the night I met Kristin Chenoweth! She is the Greatest Voice EVER to me. LOVE Kristin.
my vote is with kmd729 and James Wyatt. I noticed that i sway from side to side when I am really into a song. Not as bad as Stevie Wonder but definitely not sitting still. But hey, thats just me.
Gave me goosebumps, caught myself randomly holding my breath & wanted to happy cry. A voice & song like that 🥲 makes my heart feel like a balloon being blown up. Music is truly a gift from & to the soul.
I love how she is capturing the desperation of sally Bowles but equally delivering a vocal masterpiece with the lizaesque sally it’s like a blend of both the Sally’s and I love it
Maybe this time, I'll be lucky Maybe this time, he'll stay Maybe this time For the first time Love won't hurry away He will hold me fast I'll be home at last Not a loser anymore Like the last time And the time before Everybody loves a winner So nobody loved me; 'Lady Peaceful,' 'Lady Happy,' That's what I long to be All the odds are in my favor Something's bound to begin It's got to happen, happen sometime Maybe this time I'll win
If YOU ever get a chance to go see her in concert do Yourself a favor and go see her. The Lady is Phenomenal! She is in my humble opinion the Greatest Singer to EVER stand on a stage! I have seen her in concert 3 times & I have met her. She was so Sweet & Kind & YES Adorable! LOVE Kristin Chenoweth...ALWAYS will.
Honestly I’d never heard her sing until this video. But her speaking voice is so itty-bitty and cute, and this rich sultry voice comes out singing! Amazing!
I'm almost ashamed that I had never heard of Kristen prior to Glee but damned if she didn't blow me away! The woman can literally do no wrong. The power of the voice ; she's truly a pocket rocket.
Maybe this time, I'll be lucky Maybe this time, he'll stay Maybe this time For the first time Love won't hurry away He will hold me fast I'll be home at last Not a loser anymore Like the last time And the time before Everybody loves a winner So nobody loved me; 'Lady Peaceful,' 'Lady Happy,' That's what I long to be All the odds are in my favor Something's bound to begin It's got to happen, happen sometime Maybe this time I'll win---- Maybe this time, I'll be lucky Maybe this time, he'll stay Maybe this time For the first time Love won't hurry away He will hold me fast I'll be home at last Not a loser anymore Like the last time And the time before Everybody loves a winner So nobody loved me; 'Lady Peaceful,' 'Lady Happy,' That's what I long to be All the odds are in my favor Something's bound to begin--
Wow. All the feels with this one. I love her because I don't think objectively she has a tone that is very versatile, but she gives such emotional performances every single time and really sells whatever it is she's singing. I've yet to come away from a performance from her disappointed.
Every time I need to do an attitude adjustment on myself, this video comes to mind. And here I am again...this time for medical encouragement. Thank you, sweet and talented lady, for leaving this inspiring performance on your site. This version remains the very best!!!
Wow. Fabulous and very moving. She absolutely makes it her own, her own unique take on it. She was spontaneous, even. No easy feat, as 99% of everyone who does this awesome song does it with Liza over their shoulder, no matter how good they sing. Chenoweth did it as her, unique. :)
Until I saw this video, I was never a big fan of Kristin, but this opened my eyes. She is so totally immersed in the song, probably the best performance of "Maybe This Time" I've ever seen.
I just finished watching Cabaret and I suddenly remembered I'd heard the song "maybe this time" on Glee, once upon a time. So I had to come here and listen to Kristin Chenoweth do her version. Amazing.
From the moment I watched my mouth was dropped till she finished. I'm convinced Kristen is one of the best vocalist out there in our time. Her range is literally infinity
The best performance of this song EVER. The real professional singer, with real voice, real training, and real raw deliverance -- stunning, nobody can even hold a candle to her!

Yesssss i thought i was the only one who said that by the end lmao 😂
I love when singers do a better job in live versions... Kristin is one of those singers.
adrian urquieta well, she was (or still is..?) a musical singer!
Like every good singer really, like everyone on Broadway. No one in pop rn could survive broadway (except Sara Bareilles and Josh Groban)
I agree. All singers who are really good should be able to sound better live.
Yes, recordings are tuned to be flawless but you can't see the personality and feel the emotion like you can with live versions.

The exact same!!!
Glee is but a tiny part of what she has done
Okay I have to do it. Here's a little Vocal Breakdown of this stunning performance!
0:16 - Very conversational in the way she is singing as if she is talking to the to every audience member personally. This is acieved by a few things, one being the way she sings the lyrics: eg. "lucky" is still on pitch but not really sung, just spoken instead.

1:50 - "So nobody loved me" Great soar on "loved" with a 5 note interval up to an G#4 with a fantastic vibrato and tone on "me".
1:56 - Lovely slide on "lady" hitting a B4
2:00 - Incredible chest note on G#4 climbing up semi tones from A4 to Bb4 into the new key.
2:05 - "All the odds are" more syncopation and omg that TONE and resonance on "are" is outstanding.
2:10 - "Something's bound to begin" Kristen uses more slides her for each syllable to reach the notes in her chest voice. The "begin" hits a great C#5, a tiny bit shaky in the middle, but Kristen saves it like a pro!
2:15 - Here's that fantastic growl mix again on an insane D#5!
2:17 - To me iconic from Glee, the "ha ha" adds so much happiness to the performance as if she really is finally going to win!
2:20 - "Maybe this time" Note her wide mouth so she can place the notes perfectly for resonance and power. Some extra growls and a huge smile too! She's gonna win!
2:22 - "Maybe this time" Here she changes her emotion on the word "time" immediately. So much more intensity! And her pitch is incredible such precision with high belts like this alternating between the C#5 and the D#5.
2:26 - "I'll win" fantastic belt with her vibrato steady and in time. The wide mouth allows for excellent placement here and the exaggerated "wha" at the start of the word "win" allows a singer to place the note easier before the vowel is sung.
3:33 - I honestly was waiting for this. Her Glee performance of this is one of my favourite things of all time. Here she demonstrates her classical training and her very impressive range. That's a B5 folks. A B5. The vibrato here is incredible again, her voice really shines on notes like this!
I hope you all enjoyed! I do this on performances or songs that I find inspiring and make me want to better my vocal abilities. Kristen is phenomenal and quite frankly, an icon and I hope you learned a little something from this post!
If you want, check out some of my covers on my channel, or some of my other vocal breakdowns on some other videos!
I've never seen a song broken down like this before! Thanks so much.
I loved your breakdown
Ok
And all the way through dead in the face due to Botox overload. Plus very hammy acting. Not for me.
@@Belfastboi I think you must be watching a different video cause you could not be more inaccurate about the emotion xD
She is strutting around that stage while still belting that song. That’s incredible. I takes energy to sing and move at same time.
It's because Kristen does not belt, she uses a mix voice it's much easier than belting but is harder to initially learn 😊
Oh my god I am in awe. I just love her. She's brilliant. The little "ha-ha" just shows how little things can make a performance 10 times better. This is a different interpretation of the song, yes. But I love it. You have to respect different interpretations and changes the actor wants to make. I thought it was brilliant
She gives me chills EVERYTIME I watch
Her voice is one of the most beautiful things i have ever had the pleasure of hearing
I have seen her in concert 3 times. LOVED EVERY second of it EVERY Time! I have met her also. There is not a more Sweeter & Kinder Lady on this planet! She was so happy to meet me. Her voice is just AMAZING! The happiest time in my life was the night I met Kristin Chenoweth! She is the Greatest Voice EVER to me. LOVE Kristin.
The lady at 1:55 is me
NUTCASE
No nutcase, just grooving to the music.. We all groove in our own unique way..
my vote is with kmd729 and James Wyatt. I noticed that i sway from side to side when I am really into a song. Not as bad as Stevie Wonder but definitely not sitting still. But hey, thats just me.
Get it girl.
Cheno at 2:04 is me singing this song
Gave me goosebumps, caught myself randomly holding my breath & wanted to happy cry.
A voice & song like that 🥲 makes my heart feel like a balloon being blown up.
Music is truly a gift from & to the soul.
I love how she is capturing the desperation of sally Bowles but equally delivering a vocal masterpiece with the lizaesque sally it’s like a blend of both the Sally’s and I love it
She looks like a young version of Jessica Lange
so true!!! maybe more like a tiny version :D
Much, much prettier... and gobs more talented!!!
She looks like Jessica Lange if Jessica Lange were made of plastic.
King Kong 🦍
I loved when she performed this in glee
Ichimaru Zero Ikr, I love cabaret so much 😍
Ichimaru Zero yes ! It was her that really pulled me into Glee when my friend told me to watch...
"One less bell to answer" duo was amazing....
@@palm0607 Oh wow my all time favourite.
she's so teeny tiny! pocket Kristin... also that dress omg stunning!!
Nicole Johnson I know! she's like a little fairy!
Nicole Johnson The old fashioned phrase is "pocket Venus'
can't listen to this without breaking into song or tears! absolutely a legendary performance
I hate how Descendants had that incredible woman with that incredible voice and used for just ONE SONG
She even did the Cheno note.
No one cares
+Living with Lex. Well 93 people cared...
+Sydney Lenore It ain't Cheno without the Cheno Note ;)
You mean the CheNote? 😂😂
Maybe this time, I'll be lucky
Maybe this time, he'll stay
Maybe this time
For the first time
Love won't hurry away
He will hold me fast
I'll be home at last
Not a loser anymore
Like the last time
And the time before
Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loved me;
'Lady Peaceful,' 'Lady Happy,'
That's what I long to be
All the odds are in my favor
Something's bound to begin
It's got to happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time I'll win

I NEEDED THIS
Kat Shotwell thank you
" Я стою у ресторана , замуж поздно , сгинуть рано ..."
Thanks- couldn't quite catch all the lyrics, and after reading these on the second listen they are crystal clear- and great by the way!
WOW...... I could FEEL all of this !!!
I can relate to your choice of verbs.
Glad there's no Rachel in this version.
she completely took this from Liza& said "lemme show ya how it's done"
Kristin is a very attractive woman with an outstanding voice. It has always amazed me that such volume can come from this petite body.
😍 loved her acting and songs in Pushing Daisies and Glee. She always brings emotional feelings with her voice. God bless her and eveybody.
Why does Kristin Chenoweth have to be so amazing
I am so in love with this woman. Her voice is perfection.
Thank you so much! 💕
This was almost as good as Stevie but Stevie still did it better
She’s one of the few artists that sounds just as good if not better live than on a recording
She's so adorable, and holy cow what a voice!
If YOU ever get a chance to go see her in concert do Yourself a favor and go see her. The Lady is Phenomenal! She is in my humble opinion the Greatest Singer to EVER stand on a stage! I have seen her in concert 3 times & I have met her. She was so Sweet & Kind & YES Adorable! LOVE Kristin Chenoweth...ALWAYS will.
SLAY!
St Francis yus
Honestly I’d never heard her sing until this video. But her speaking voice is so itty-bitty and cute, and this rich sultry voice comes out singing! Amazing!
JESUS the intensity of this is off the charts! My good lord, HOW does she do this?!
Once in a lifetime, we all get to know a gift like Kristin. An amazing woman, talent, gift.
This was just a FANTASTIC performance! Those folks should have been on their feet clapping! That was AWESOME!!!!!!!!
That last note!
The Mad Hatter Was Here "The Cheno Note" 😂😀😂😀😂
her voice is perfect for this song.
I'm almost ashamed that I had never heard of Kristen prior to Glee but damned if she didn't blow me away! The woman can literally do no wrong. The power of the voice ; she's truly a pocket rocket.
Maybe this time, I'll be lucky

I love the extra swing they put into this version, genius.
Wow. All the feels with this one. I love her because I don't think objectively she has a tone that is very versatile, but she gives such emotional performances every single time and really sells whatever it is she's singing. I've yet to come away from a performance from her disappointed.
She is the definition of someone with SHOW BIZ quality. Like, I just love her. She makes you stop and pay attention. Mama’s got the goods!!
This is why she is referred to as an ICON!! This happens when you are the best of your generation.
A brilliant performance - tons of confidence! And to think, that Liza Minelli is your yardstick.
How can someone's voice be so perfect?
Well of course, she's great live. Everybody on Broadway has to be good live, 8 times a week.
Every time I need to do an attitude adjustment on myself, this video comes to mind. And here I am again...this time for medical encouragement. Thank you, sweet and talented lady, for leaving this inspiring performance on your site. This version remains the very best!!!
Wow. Fabulous and very moving. She absolutely makes it her own, her own unique take on it. She was spontaneous, even. No easy feat, as 99% of everyone who does this awesome song does it with Liza over their shoulder, no matter how good they sing. Chenoweth did it as her, unique. :)
Liza is smiling!
it’s 2019 and I still watch this every day
Ellen Jonsson it’s 2020 and i *still* watch it every day
I love her. I love when you see true artists feeling the music. And she was really feeling it lol
If I were in the audience at 2:35 I would simply pass out lol
I can't with this woman... that amount of talent should be illegal, I'm buffled and confused every time I hear her sing
It's so incredible, all of this coming out of a woman who is four foot nothing tall ! Wow!!!
Queen of broadway!!! 🧚🏻♂️👑👗
My god, she is absolutely exhilarating. I'm home alone and I want to give her a standing ovation. A stunning performance.
I love Liza so much, but... Kristin was MADE for this song. She gives me chills and my eyes start to get misty. UGH!
Yo vine por Bates Motel, bye. ❤️
talented people in their element make me sob. every time!
And this is what you call talent. Love it: The emotion, vocals, everything. You should be more recognized.
I'm glad there's a version without the racist girl singing.
Watching her perform is one of the most empowering things I have ever seen. Just, WOW!
Until I saw this video, I was never a big fan of Kristin, but this opened my eyes. She is so totally immersed in the song, probably the best performance of "Maybe This Time" I've ever seen.
She really got into this! I love her voice! Also, she played Malifecent in Descendants and the song she sang with Dove Cameron was AMAZING!!!
OMG the power in her voice!!
I just finished watching Cabaret and I suddenly remembered I'd heard the song "maybe this time" on Glee, once upon a time. So I had to come here and listen to Kristin Chenoweth do her version. Amazing.
Benefits of having the exact same vocal range as Kristin Chenoweth is, any song she can sing, I can and she’s always introducing me to new song.
I was Darth Senpai.
I can't remember how many times I've watched this performance but it continues to give me goosebumps.
This will forever be one my all time favourite vocal performances. Ever.
Thanks for watching! 💞
I love this woman. One of the most beautiful and brilliant talents in all entertainment. ❤
Gorgeous woman..
This is her song.
Every song is her song
I met her once in the store I was working in and she is by far the sweetest most down to earth celebrity there is. She’s a doll.
might be petty but thank god a version without lea
From the moment I watched my mouth was dropped till she finished. I'm convinced Kristen is one of the best vocalist out there in our time. Her range is literally infinity
Who is here after TheVoice?
The best performance of this song EVER. The real professional singer, with real voice, real training, and real raw deliverance -- stunning, nobody can even hold a candle to her!
Lisa Minnelli owned this song
I agree ! This song belongs to Liza
When you are this good, you don't need flashy lights and pyrotechnics.
At 1:55 that lady in the audience is feeling it
Holy crap!!! You're simply amazing, incredible, remarkable. In other words, I kinda liked it.
Hearing other women singing this song really brings into focus the power of Liza Minelli's singing voice...
O wow ok, I never knew how much I really wanted to see "Chicago" starring Idina Menzel as Velma Kelly and Kristin Chenoweth as Roxy Hart.
does she age? She's gorgeous.
