Honestly, I think this is the best because she really doesn't seem to get enjoyment out of it like the song says. Most versions you see have them all peppy, even when she's supposed to be bored. This is amazing and deserves every freaking thumbs up it can get. You go girl!!
@@OptimusPhillip That's a cool perspective too! I just get tired seeing peppy-and-proud Marcy's, because that's contrary to her character. I highkey want to see the angry performance you reference.
I like how in this version she actually sounds bored, like she is actually “sick and tired of always being the best”, and that she “gets no real enjoyment” from winning
I’m embarrassed to say how many times over the years I’ve come back and watched this video. It’s the definitive version of this song for me. Just the best.
Same. Honestly, I just now remembered the song and went to listen to the song on the soundtrack and it just... wasn't it for me. Had to come back to this specific video.
Ya shoulda seen this number from the Driftwood Players.Olivia Waring WAS Marcy. Here's just a little about her: Software Engineer...BA in Chemistry and Chinese from Princeton...Masters Degree in linguistics and Computer Science from Oxford and regularly plays violin in pit orchestras throughout Seattle. Here's more about this extraordinary individual: www.princeton.edu/news/2011/12/09/princeton-senior-waring-receives-sachs-scholarship
Hazel Grey this comment is killing me. Firstly, she doesn’t speak Latin. That line is in Spanish. Next, you forgot that she speaks Japanese in this song. NEXT, she doesn’t speak German, that’s the ensemble.
I've been watching one of the many productions of Putnam here the utoob and I just got through a ...less stellar performance of this song. I had to quickly go find another to sooth my soul. Thank you Lili Thomas for your wonderful portrayal of Marcy. I think you speak 7 languages, you forgot to mention the language of great theater.
This is a very good performance and this shows what Marcy Parks character really should be acted out as. Another thing I like about this performance is that all her moves are on beat. Like her even coming out of the door is on beat, and on point! I know this is thirteen years late but good job👍🏿 Hands down best performance I’ve seen!
Oh, my god. I come here looking for another lousy song some 5th grader is singing, and I'm treated to a wonderful, amazing renedition. I MUST MEET THIS GIRL! REPLAY!

Every language easy Easy as the recipe for making Jell-O I Speak Six Languages And I can say hello In at least seven more She's also a black belt in karate To excel in athletics is not difficult if one has the temperament Apparently I have the temperament Yes I score some goals So unfazed am I As my life unscrolls Unamazed am I I dont like to brag And I won't 'cause I don't have to But...

In one of the versions of this that I have seen, the video ends with them all hoisting her up and setting up a wooden board on bricks, and she karate chops it in half.
I feel as though it is important to mention that 2 days ago I attempted to perform this choreography and nearly broke my leg trying to do the splits. It still really hurts. :))) Also this is my favourite Spelling Bee song.
@cathythedisasterx In my school's production, the girl playing Marcy went over to the band playing, pushed the pianist off the seat, and played the music xD
@weezel365 They do exsist. We have on in our production, she is asian too. Some of the others that tried out could do things like pogo and jump rope at the sametime and play instruments. some of them did speak multiple languages, and lacrosse.
I’m abt to go perform this song. Any tips for choreo or ways I can do it without choreo and still make it good? I haven’t practiced choreo it was sorta last minute ...
In the local production of Spelling Bee that me and my friends are doing, my girlfriend sings this song and she likes it which is cool. But I really have to say, the fact that this song, which introduces who she is as a character, and Jesus, the song where she essentially exits the play, are back to back (as in there are 4 lines of dialogue between them) is really the greatest example of how little this play value's it's characters. Marcy does not do anything of note until those two songs, which might as well be considered one song, then she is booted out of the play. And of course Marcy also has the same message behind her character as all the other children, especially Logainne who gets way more development. I guess they really needed two extra songs.
@weezel365 If you're really trying to put on a great show and people are truly dedicated to it it's not difficult. With just weeks of rehearsal my school's Marcy, a blonde little sweetheart of a freshman, learned all her parts, was able to do cartwheel across the stage, twirl a baton, and play a flute.
As a trumpet player, my only thoughts on this rendition are that they shouldn't have had her play the trumpet at the end unless she could achieve a real good tone on it, as Marcy obviously would have to have in real life. If you didn't play the trumpet before this show I have to say, for how long you had to learn you were rather impressive.
In a way, I don't think she would have had to be so good at it though. Although she displays the versatility, I think the matter of fact is that she is overwhelmed. She is obligated to be able to do anything. Of course, she has to be the best, but I believe the "best" is relative. Not many other "kids" could do half of what she can. If everything was perfect, it would be difficult for the audience to be convinced that these characters are real children with relatable struggle. Actually, the less than polished sound actually makes this funnier!
i feel like this is the most accurate version. she has no enjoyment and shows a resentment towards how she is expected to be good at everything. I feel like this most accurately portrays the "overachieving asian" plight of a gifted student stretched too thin by expectation. Her lack of emotion is indicative of someone whose emotions have never been taken into account. I hate all the other versions because of how peppy they usually are when the character is supposed to be annoyed with her situation.
I love this version of the song because she is bored and that's who Marcy is.
So unfazed is she
@@mr.turkey8886 so unamazed is she
At my school's version of this, she shoved the guy plying piano in the band out of the way to play her part.
gosh i wish my school woudlve done this
Honestly, I think this is the best because she really doesn't seem to get enjoyment out of it like the song says. Most versions you see have them all peppy, even when she's supposed to be bored. This is amazing and deserves every freaking thumbs up it can get. You go girl!!
Carmen Fox so true
She looks like she doesn't give any fucks xD
It's so funny omg
The version I saw went for a more fed up and angry approach.
So unfazed is she

She NAILS Marcy.
I LOVE how she literally sings six languages
This performance has set the bar, the standard Marcy should be. Simply, this is the best performance of Marcy.
Mingus Union High School
Out of all the versions of this song that I have seen, I think yours is the most original and quite possibly my favorite.
Your performance is Broadway quality. Well done!
And now lil's is on the broadway national tour of Dear Evan Hansen....so your wish came true. :) -- mitch mahoney
@@thomasking2311 aww
I've seen quite a few performances of this sequence and this is by far the funniest.
I’m embarrassed to say how many times over the years I’ve come back and watched this video. It’s the definitive version of this song for me. Just the best.
honestly i agree with you
Same. Honestly, I just now remembered the song and went to listen to the song on the soundtrack and it just... wasn't it for me. Had to come back to this specific video.
did she just do the first few steps in the jazz routine of a chorus line? XD I'm obsessed with that musical so I noticed it lmaoooo it's on 1:42
lmmaao i thought that too
i was about to comment that ahhaha
same im so obsessed that i learn that jazz routine.
Where the hell do you find a girl that damned talented to play Marcy Park?!?

@@dukemantee2978 what the fuck....how...how do you even....how is there a human being that can exist at such a capacity?
@@lizlemon3698 I would guess it's the result of good breeding and excellent parenting.
Best performance of this character. To do all the movements and sing so well is a huge talent too! Love her ♡
*_HIT THAT DAB MARCY_*
Hey, That's Mildly Adequate when
Not Important like 1:53
Yes!!!! She's so great!!! And you can tell she is SUPER TALENTED IN REAL LIFE! KEEP IT UP AND DON'T STOP SINGING
this is legit the best performance of i speak six languages ive ever seen
French, Latin, Spanish, Russian, Hebrew, German... English.
SEVEN. SEVEN LANGUAGES.
She doesn’t sing the last language. It’s the rest of the chorus
Actual Garbage???? latin and spanish aren't the same what
@@twentyoneairplanes4970 At the time I was heavily misinformed, sorry about that! (Btw you're everywhere and |-/)
She doesn’t speak German it’s the background

because Marcy is typically asian in the original broadway production, and it also includes 'Korean Jesus'.
This is a very good performance and this shows what Marcy Parks character really should be acted out as. Another thing I like about this performance is that all her moves are on beat. Like her even coming out of the door is on beat, and on point! I know this is thirteen years late but good job👍🏿 Hands down best performance I’ve seen!
I can't stop watching this. WOW. My school did this and our Marcy wasn't this good. :)
Just been cast as Marcy...cant wait to do this 😂 !!!
TheHobbitAnUnexpectedGamer sameee and good luck👏
Yeah this is so awesome and lovable because she acts bored and not interested in it which gives more life to the character. ❤️💖
This is the only good version of this song on TH-cam! Love it!
Jackie Naf The *only* good version? A bit of an overstatement in my opinion.
C. Moore i agree lmao there are a lot of amazing versions of this song
this is brilliant!
This is my favorite rendition of this song! Great job!!
definitely the best version!
Oh, my god. I come here looking for another lousy song some 5th grader is singing, and I'm treated to a wonderful, amazing renedition. I MUST MEET THIS GIRL! REPLAY!
I Speak Six Languages
Oh, six.
Every language easy
Easy as the recipe for making Jell-O
I Speak Six Languages
And I can say hello
In at least seven more
She's also a black belt in karate
To excel in athletics is not difficult if one has the temperament
Apparently
I have the temperament
Yes I score some goals
So unfazed am I
As my life unscrolls
Unamazed am I
I dont like to brag
And I won't 'cause I don't have to
But... I Speak Six Languages
All-American in hockey
And anything I do
I do without getting sore
I Speak Six Languages
And I like the theme from Rocky
Though I play Mozart more
Ooooooo
I achieve my goals (Aaaaah)
So unfazed am I
As my life unscrolls (Aaaaah)
Unamazed am I
Winning is a job (Winning is a job)
And I get no real enjoyment (And she gets no real enjoyment)

I Speak Six Languages
I am sick and tired
Of always being the best

At every mass
Six lousy languages
And for my height Im the lightest
Of the girls in my class
She knows six languages
Thats 1, 2
3, 4, 5 ALL
Six!
This is the best version of this I've ever seen.
In one of the versions of this that I have seen, the video ends with them all hoisting her up and setting up a wooden board on bricks, and she karate chops it in half.
my favorite rendition!
I love this version! I am a Marcy in a production, so i’ve been looking to different videos for inspiration.
I LOVE THIS. you are a phomnominal everything!! (or however you SPELL it) I m wacthing this over and over again. GOOD JOB. :)
I'm auditioning with this song for a scholarship and this is by far the best I got so many Ideas!!!!!! EXCELLENT!
I feel as though it is important to mention that 2 days ago I attempted to perform this choreography and nearly broke my leg trying to do the splits. It still really hurts. :)))
Also this is my favourite Spelling Bee song.
The stuff se does in this song are amazing.
This is probably my favorite version!
They should have had an oven timer go off. Then she could have really put the icing on the cake.
Now I want Marcy in my schools production soooo bad!!!
this is so amazing
I love this Marcy. Holy shit she can do so many things.
This is the best!
Frickin' spectacular.
Amazing
This is GREAT.
Fucking incredible
No! This is DEFINITELY mu favorite version!!
i like others, but i do admit this showcases the character the best!!! props!!
im playing that part too this year...true story.
This is my favorite version of the song.
It was a good performance
I ate six sandwiches..and I still have room for..at least seven more.
SHE DABBED
when?
MC Hyland 1:55
That wasn't even popular when this was created.
Um thats against cringe law 111 "no dabbing, it may give non cringe belivers cancer"
Im doing this with my school and im playing Panch but if I wasn't I'd want to play this part purely because of this song
my school will be doing this musical and my friend's been cast as Marcy.
i hope they let her play it the same way this one did, making Marcy bored.
wtf this is so good...... i had a heart attack when she started playing the piano
This is actually great, sad that the camera couldn't take a closer angle
YES!
WOW.... Wow........... wow.
i wish this included marcys epiphany cuz this production is freakin amazing for a highschool production
It isn't a high school production; it's a professional theatre company in memphis, tn.
best iv seen
that nod to fiddler is great
I’m sorry, this was *amazing*
And uh... Christine Canigula 1:44
Why do I relate on a spiritual level?
@isaerzinger Yes like most musical movies it did also originate from a play.
@cathythedisasterx In my school's production, the girl playing Marcy went over to the band playing, pushed the pianist off the seat, and played the music xD
Does anybody know where I can get the marimba sheet music it sounds SO GOOD!
The dab got me 😂😂
the deadpan "six" at the end sealed it
@weezel365 They do exsist. We have on in our production, she is asian too. Some of the others that tried out could do things like pogo and jump rope at the sametime and play instruments. some of them did speak multiple languages, and lacrosse.

Do you have any more vids from this production
cada idioma es simple
Shit woah
Ok. Seriously, this is me.
i loved this movie, but i didn't understand all of it... cause i'm a brazilian girl haha, it's a play?
You sound just like her!!!!
Park is a pretty common Korean name, she was just written that way.
0:29 or 0:30 start
Omg anyone else see the chorus line reference
As a trumpet player, my only thoughts on this rendition are that they shouldn't have had her play the trumpet at the end unless she could achieve a real good tone on it, as Marcy obviously would have to have in real life. If you didn't play the trumpet before this show I have to say, for how long you had to learn you were rather impressive.
With that mindset, she shouldn't have an accent when singing in the other languages...
+Anti Fluffs (Antifluffs) Good point, but that was in the script. I'm pretty sure the trumpet was added in this production.
I'm sure the trumpet was played by someone in the band. That's how they do stuff like that in my school at least
In a way, I don't think she would have had to be so good at it though. Although she displays the versatility, I think the matter of fact is that she is overwhelmed.

Actually, the less than polished sound actually makes this funnier!
....Why is she number 6 in this? Marcy is supposed to be number 7. But that aside, she was absolutely fantastic.
I've seen the characters wear several different numbers. Personally, I think the 6 fits her character and song.
what are the languages im sorry but i dont know please answer me if you know 🙂🙂🙂
Mewlia Senpai 1. French 2. Spanish 3. Japanese 4& 5 are something and Hebrew I think, and the last is German
Katie Beth Hall I think the one you forgot to mention was Russian.
Wasn't

why are all the Marcy's I've seen been Asian. I mean no offense it's just our marcy is Asian as well.
Nela the LAFer Marcy is canonically written as the stereotypical Asian overachiever child
Who writes a musical about a spelling bee?
Carter Kenney william finn
1:32
"Asians"
There is to much talking
Very good, but technique was bad. Of course i was looking at the dancing haha but amazing!
Jesus Christ this is horrible
@Madison and Leah not it's literally terrible on all levels, amateur garbage
She sounds emotionless and terrible! BOO!
Eden Wexler ???? Have you seen this musical? Marcy Park is someone is almost blasé to her talents because she believes it to be the minimum..
That’s the point..
