I never knew the context of this song; I'd only heard it on album recordings before. This performance genuinely made me start *crying* and I got chills at "bound to begin"
OMG !!! How I love the ending when you chose not to belt it out, but used your mixed head voice, and by that, made it so fregile and human and hurting!!! Girlllll, you nailed it!! BRAVA!
@@erezmor4u a wonderful performance indeed.. The ending was created for Natasha Richardson in the second Broadway revival. She did not have the vocal prowess to belt out the end so this musical apology happened which makes it possible to cast non-singers in the role... Not that Megan could not belt if she wanted to . It has to do with the new orchestration that does not allow this.
Miss Megan - Everybody and their brother is familiar with Audra's, Kristin's and Liza's version of this song, and they argue back and forth as to which one is better, as you probably know. But you have taken this to an entirely different level with this interpretation and performance, especially since you included the scene leading up to the song in order to add the context in which it's sung. In addition, I must say that it's really refreshing to hear an alto's voice, rather than an ear-piercing soprano, especially on the chorus. Finally, the way you performed the closing "maybe I'll win" was absolutely superb. Excellent, excellent performance, Miss Megan!
This is the kindest compliment I could have ever gotten. Truly, this production meant so much to me I wouldnt even be able to describe. This performance was over a year ago now, and when I read your comment I cried the happiest of tears. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This was very special to me.
@@MeganMeyer You are totally welcome! As a woodwind player that's sat in the pit of many a musical theater production, I react to performances differently than most folk do. Thus, when I comment, I comment from that perspective - as someone who's BTDT and understands the work involved in such productions. Kudos to you and the director for "changing it up" to provide the audience with a magnificent performance.
I must agree here. I have watched a number of these now as you mentioned as well and her additions to this role were wonderful as well as adding the context beforehand. Its a sincere performance and more believable that you were actually there.
sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know of a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost the account password. I would love any tips you can offer me.
This is a good rendition equal to many of the versions done by the most famous Broadway voices of our time. There's another recent version from and unlikely place the TV series "Schitt's Creek" Emily Hampshire as "Stevie" playing Sally Bowes in an amateur production of "Cabaret". It's quite gripping.
Just wanted to drop in the comments and tell you how much I LOVE your performance!! :) I had heard people fawning over Kristin Chenoweth's and Audra McDonald's renditions of this song, but I never cared for them. They felt way too "showy" for what is supposed to be a more emotionally raw number, and their incessant vibrato and soprano voices just never felt right for this song. However, I completely got that emotion from you. Yours is the only version of this song that made me emotional, and your voice is so incredible. Amazing job!
[Verse] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Everybody loves a winner So nobody loved me 'Lady Peaceful', 'Lady Happy' That's what I long to be [Chorus] Well, all the odds are, they're in my favor Something's bound to begin It's gotta happen, happen sometime Maybe this time I'll win [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause everybody, they love a winner So nobody loved me 'Lady Peaceful', 'Lady Happy' That's what I long to be

I’m watching this 3 years later, and I have an audition coming up for Sally Bowles, and I’d love to know your vocal range and any tips for how to ace the role! Thanks!
Does anyone know is this Cliff she's speaking to? Singing this for my exam and finding free info on the context etc is really hard since i've never seen it ! thanks :)
I more prefer Jane horrors and Richardson . I don’t think she is sincere like Richardson and Jane. Nonononono, when i at night watch this I did Not find any touching part

Lol wtf is the applause at the end of this? This needs a standing ovation. Sounds like people clapping as they introduce dogs on a dog show
This is actually my favorite version I've found on youtube.
Thank you so much 🙏😭❤️
No contest. And yet there are many superb renditions but this stands out in so many ways. Megan's performance is the topper!

@Ethan Creed instablaster =)
Was in the pit for this production. She gave me goosebumps. Megan is going places!
I’m just here for her vocal placement on that 2nd “Laaaaaaaaady happy”
Tbh this performance needs more recognition 😗🤭
Thank you so so very much! That means an awful lot to me. This song is my EVERYTHING!

Ok, this is seriously the most beautiful version I have ever heard. And I've heard a lot of them. Cheers Megan! ❤

[Verse]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loved me
'Lady Peaceful', 'Lady Happy'
That's what I long to be
[Chorus]
Well, all the odds are, they're in my favor
Something's bound to begin
It's gotta happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time I'll win
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause everybody, they love a winner
So nobody loved me
'Lady Peaceful', 'Lady Happy'
That's what I long to be
[Chorus]
Well, all the odds are, they're in my favor
Something's bound to begin
It's gotta happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time
Maybe this time I'll win
You are incredible, Megan. You slayed this and in the other videos I watched of you. You belong on Broadway. *standing ovation*
It's so nice to revisit this performance. You're a musical treasure!
Thank you so much for staying such a fan
as someone who is learning this song at the moment, i aspire to be able to sing this half as well as you have! your voice is amazing!!
One of the few versions I love!!!
Your version is PERFECT 😍👌 I love this song and you nailed it.
Sweet Coti, Rest Well ❤️

Musical presentation is superb!

Magnificent...BRAVO!!!!
Definitely my favourite version!
This was Amazing! And your voice, is like velvet!

A QUEEN
This is my favorite cover of Maybe This Time
It's not a "cover". It's a live performance.
Very very nice. Great singing!
Brava!
TX1961 ohmygod you’re everywhere
Bravo Megan!
I like this version of the song.
Wow! Amazing !!! 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That last “begin” 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾💟
I don’t know who this lady is, but she absolutely killed it.
hermoso
Wooooow you’re so good

Isabelle Hastings yes it’s cliff!!!
I like this version after Liza M's. It has a feminine softness to it
Does anyone know what key this is in?
It starts in G major
Hey I wondered what your vocal range is?
Great control of her voice. I like the rendition but I wish there was less flow and more emotion.
It's very refined
Very very well sung. But why go from English accent when speaking to American when singing?
To be fair, british singers do that too
I more prefer Jane horrors and Richardson . I don’t think she is sincere like Richardson and Jane. Nonononono, when i at night watch this I did Not find any touching part
Great vocal performance, not a great performance from the percussionist.
