    @elphbwckd212 5 років тому +77

    Gavin and Tally are incredible! Holy crap. Not 100% sold on this Belle yet. She has one of those voices that can't quite get the note spot on and it sounds slightly flat till her vibrato kicks in. Could just be this recording though. Love the inclusive cast, though! Also, not sure they need the extra 'ahhs' at the end of Human Again. Unless it is going to open to a wider ending chord it seems unnecessary to just repeat the same chord they've already been holding. 🤷‍♂️ I can't wait to see more of this production. BatB is one of my all the favorite musicals!

    Don't get me wrong, Belle sounds beautiful. However, I'm not a fan of how she belts out a change in me. I know it's a very belty song but I always hear the end as a softer, more accepting way.

    • @whatdoyousuppose
      @whatdoyousuppose 5 років тому +9

      I feel like that’s more of a music director decision, or maybe a mix of both her interpretation and the music team’s visions? it is an interesting choice though, not the choice I would’ve made but I respect it, and I’m sure she’ll have more opportunities to show her softer side in that song and many other musical moments.

    • @musicaltheatrefan2k226
      @musicaltheatrefan2k226 2 роки тому

      The ending to “A Change in Me” was created for Ashley Brown, when she started in Disney’s On the Record: A Musical Revue. That song was also in there, and that had a similar ending, but extended. ua-cam.com/video/tFn7SFJvJZ8/v-deo.html Also, “Is This Home” had a quieter ending, so it ended up not being two soft ballads in a row.
      My opinion: This also goes for “Evermore,” if Beast can’t do two grand endings in a row. Proof (for Finale Act I): ua-cam.com/video/s6BiSTFRJlw/v-deo.html

      So are they supposed to cast due to talent or color? Should they specifically choose someone for the color of their skin or should they cast who they feel is most talented for the role? I am honestly just curious of your opinion because I really do not understand this. Wouldn't it be worse to cast someone just because of the color of their skin instead of based on talent? I feel like that would feel like a slap to the actor who got cast because its literally saying they arent good enough for the role but they are just their token colored person. Makes no sense to me
