Effie White - Moya Angela Deena Jones - Brennyn Lark Lorrell Robinson - Asmeret Ghebremichael July 2018. West End. This video was not recorded by me. All rights reserved to the owner.
The vocals are really good. So what Deena came out of her normal quiet shell. It all adds for a big delivery of a great song. Choreography, well, uh, overly done but te vocals are spot on.
I just seen this last night in Liverpool Yo... YOOOOOOO THEY WERKED! VOCALLY OMDZ!. THE WHOLE CAST.. BUT THEM BACKGROUND SAAANGERS KILLLLLLLED MEEEE OFFFFF!!!. ABSOLUTE WELLLLLL DONE TO EFFIE she WASSSSS 🤌🏿🤌🏿🤌🏿🤌🏿💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💣💥💥💥💥
I think Brennyn’s singing is good. Solid but not too strong and not churchy. I think the key to the contrast of Effie and Deena isn’t just the strength but the style of the two voices. Brennyn sounds nothing like Moya which helps account for the switch Curtis makes. Deena is pop accessible, whereas Effie is homegrown soul, unchangeable. I think it works here.
Totally agree with this statement!!! Brenynn is just very talented , she’s holding back a lot in this role! Her voice in full affect will kick your ass. 🤣🙌🏾
Yeah a lil overchoreographed, but it’s Casey Nicholaw (the director), and ALL of his shows are overchoreographed, but to me it still comes off very clean, which is key for this show especially
Very over choreographed indeed Check out this version of Dreamgirls National Tour 2019-2020 choreographed by Robert Longbottom ua-cam.com/video/UYc7VfxvrVk/v-deo.html
Why Deena singing down like that? Lmao. I often said Bey (as hard as she tried to limit herself vocally for the role) oversung as Deena and all of the other Deenas that followed are doing the same. Deena ain't supposed to be belting and transitioning like that. Sang though sis.
Deena is supposed to have a softer voice and I'm getting nothing but belt from Brennyn. It really hurts the story when Effie & Deena have similar voices. The entire point of Deena becoming lead is because she has a lighter quality to her voice. The best vocal differences I've seen in Effie's and Deena's are 1) Jennifer Holliday and Sheryl Lee Raph 2) Lillias White and Audra McDonald 3) Jennifer Hudson and Beyonce Effie and Deena (Even Lorrell) are all supposed to have different voices. It just hurts the show overall when they all sound the same
@@ceemore7778 Except she's not... Beyoncé had control over her voice, she did add volume in certain parts of the song, but she never full on belted. Brennyn is full on belting.
@@crazyguy98456978 except she is. I know what belting is. I said she's singing in the style of Beyoncé. Don't believe me? Listen to the movie soundtrack. And you're being super critical...and incorrect. Clearly anyone with an ear for music can see both of these ladies have voices that sound different. The main difference between the likes of Brennan and Sheryl is that Brennyn has a stronger voice (Sheryl knows she's not a singer herself)
I flew to NY to see the original Broadway production. It was sublime. Disliked the movie and how they turned it into the Beyoncé show. After NY (on the same trip) I went to see the production because it had just opened in LA and JENNIFER HOLLIDAY had transferred to join the cast. The lead in the LA production LINDA LELANI-BROWN was even better than SHERYL LEE RALPH who was the original DEENA JONES.
@Jordano Berrios I've studied, dissected, directed, choreographed and costumed this show multiple times. This does not work for the storyline at all. If Deena is that powerful outside of image, Effie could have remained in lead. Curtis spoke of glamorizing them, hence why the Dreamgirls song is all about Glamour and poise.... A step up from recent numbers like Move, Steppin, and Fake your way to the top. Like I said there concept doesn't work.... None of the revivals in the past 15years have worked.
They performed in that Thanksgiving video I love watching
I think these three are my favorites from this production. They vocally fit their parts well.

OMG this was THE production
I've been waiting for this video
2:12 go on asmeret 😍😍😍

The girl playing deena is a powerhouse
Shes played Whitney Houston in the off Broadway Born For This Musical.
THEY ARE SINGINGGGGGG
Do you have anymore footage with these three?

The actress who plays Deena currently plays Parr in Six on broadway she’s so good!!!

I got the voice, Curtis. I got the voice!

As a church m.o.m., u must understand there are different types of church voices. The casting is perfect...
Brennan is actually singing in the style of Beyoncé.

Those last two examples are the worst examples to use when you have this opinion.
Nothing compare to the originals. IN ANYTHING.

Way to much choreography
Overly Choreographed..... Deena isn't suppose to be that powerful. Soften her sound please

@@meccawalker4773 oh boo hoo hoo
I agree Brennyn belts a bit but she has a great Deena sound, poppy and not too churchy as to compete with (a properly cast) Effie.
Amber Riley...
It's not Amber playing Effie here. It's Moya Angela.
Too Late ????
