    @theblondeone07 16 років тому +4

    I just saw the show on Saturday and totally loved it!! This is one of my favorite songs/scenes. I didn't get to see Sierra on Saturday which was sad, but Sean was there and man is he adorable and totally amazing!! The girl who did play Ariel was very good though. I just wish it would have been Sierra instead.

  • @azuraathena
    @azuraathena 8 років тому +40

    I prefer ariels line of 'then my shackles will be broken, not a word would need be spoken' rather than the Broadway version 'then the silence would be broken, not a word would need be spoken'. This version works so much better.

  • @ninjafishy5071

    Back my junior year of high school, we had a final choir performance called 'Live' and 4 students did this song. I got to watch them do it before I had to go join the others. This song reminds me of those choir memories, I really miss it.

    i love this song so much me and a few people are doing it for a broadway caberet and it;s sounds good. i was nervous at first because it's a hard song to live up to with all these voices from broadway but we have four of the best voices and we hope it does the song justice. the show is incredible. Disney's broadway shows are good but The Little Mermade is so much different than some others.

    No, there are probably two versions of lyrics. I noticed it when I was listening to soundtrack and then to videos from the show. It was same with Beauty and the Beast, there are also some words different in clips from show and official soundtrack.

  • @musicaltheatrefan2k226
    @musicaltheatrefan2k226 2 роки тому +2

    They should've done triton's lyrics like this:
    How could I have pushed her to the point of having no one else to turn to?
    Two whole days have passed and I'm still questioning, "How long must this go on?"
    I'm still getting over having lost her poor sweet mother.
    What if I have lost her and it's all my fault she's gone?!!

  • @bwaystar123

    @KramNebuer 16 років тому

    Sierra Boggess's voice sounds really deep in this or is that the audio quality of this video? Either way, she sings beautifully, but I feel like a deep voice is out of character for Ariel.
    I noticed there were a few lyric changes, too. I like Triton's lyrics here than the final version on the soundtrack.
