I lived in the same building as Kristin in NYC in the mid 90s. She’s a wonderfully effusive and friendly woman. She was a hard working Broadway actor back then. I went to see her in “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” and she was amazing as Sally. So incredibly talented.
I've always enjoyed Kristin. I'm not a big musical theater person but I"ve enjoyed her appearances on various TV shows. Smart, funny, cute as a button and so, so talented. Thanks for having a look at and listen to her.
Whats even more surprising (not to objectify Kristin) but shes 55. This tiny lady with a massive voice and so much life has 20 years on me. But this song is so well written, I absolutely love it.
That is not her normal speaking voice or normal accent. It is Kristin in character. Her native accent is Oklahoma, and her normal speaking voice can be heard in her West Wing and other straight acting performances.
❤ powerhouse 4' 11" Kristen Chenoweth...such talent packed in a tiny space. When she first hit Broadway..she reminded me of Bernadette Peters...another tiny powerhouse of Broadway. BTW..Kristen did study opera in graduate school. Love ZZ Top..but one of them missed out. 👎
I imagine more than a few people watching said "What?" when Beth said that Billy Ethridge was a member of ZZ Top. It's true, but I think he was only with them for a few months in the very early days before Dusty Hill came onboard.
I saw her in concert (I was very depressed, it was 4 days after HC lost the election), but oh, Kristen was sooooooo good! She’s so funny, has perfect pitch (I believe), has so much personality and her vocal acrobatics are unparalleled! 💜. Oh, and her concert was this video + 1hour 20 minutes of similar material. She’s right up there with the best vocalists I’ve ever heard live! ❤
I'll tell you hwhat, I'd never put the two together, but that high treble, nasal sound that just cuts through so clear, reminds me an awful lot of Iris Dement. She's wonderful!
Hey Beth! awesome react as always! I once saw a couple of videos of your reacts from Brazilian music, it wolud be awesome if you react to Porto Solidão, from Jessé! it was an absolute delight of a voice with accentuated high notes wich made part of Brazil jewels in music!
I definitely think that genetics factors into musical ability. My mother had no innate musical ability, by her own admission, but she often told me about a few uncles of hers who were very talented musicians and played in local bands when she was growing up. She always pointed out that they couldn't read music, but they could learn songs by ear very quickly. I was born with very sensitive hearing and it didn't take me long to train my ear once I started playing guitar. I've also always had a very solid sense of rhythm, but I can probably count the number of times I've used a metronome of any sort on one hand. My father played a few instruments, including guitar, and I grew up around music. And I certainly think that made a difference too, especially in terms of access. But I have five siblings and I was the only one who was drawn to it enough to become a serious musician. I think must have just gotten enough of the right genes.
Me too John. According to 23andme I don't have the genes. But it's surprising... my gran ran a brass band and my uncle was good enough to play trumpet at Ronnie Scotts. My Dad (who is the brass band side of the family) says he's tone deaf but I suspect he is just under-confident. I've heard him sing in tune to the radio when he thinks no one is listening. My mum was always in a choir and can definitely sing but has no musicians on her side. It's also probably a combination of genes and a bit of nurture. My mum was also big on the bedtime song-time and harmonies in the car and all my sisters can sing to various degrees. One of them well enough to sing in musicals. Her identical twin is a great singer as well but hasn't practiced at all and it is interesting because it has made a difference in her vocal control compared to her twin who has had a lot of vocal training. My other sister has not sung at all, can sing well, we all have a strong base but its obvious in our family who has trained and who hasn't.

Ms. Roars, I love your reaction videos. Could you please do Susanne Sundfør - White Foxes? I think you might love it!

Thanks. I was in a bad mood and this really lifted my spirits. ❤
Just so much talent! She was really great on the final season of The West Wing as well.

So much fun to review! Put a smile to my day 😊
OMGosh, I simply love listening to / watching Kristin. She is a powerhouse vocalist for sure.
She was amazing in Pushing Daisies, also Ellen Greene
Kristin have a amazing vocal toolbox. 🛠❤ Thank you Beth. I always learn a lot from your videos🌹🌹🌹🌹

Her native accent is Oklahoma, and her normal speaking voice can be heard in her West Wing and other straight acting performances.
Yes she is from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma and sounds like all my maternal family and cousins from 'Green Country'
She also appeared in the american sitcom «Pushing Daisies»

I remember her best from a tv sitcom she was in, Pushing up Daisies

I saw Kristen Chenowith and was instantly hooked
Beth, you need to see a Brazilian singer called Ricky Vallen performing still loving you from scorpions
Vaya personaje salido de algún cuento de Disney estuvo entretenido bien Beth 👏👏🍀🍀 mí H Prrj ❤
Hey Beth! awesome react as always! I once saw a couple of videos of your reacts from Brazilian music, it wolud be awesome if you react to Porto Solidão, from Jessé! it was an absolute delight of a voice with accentuated high notes wich made part of Brazil jewels in music!
Hello Everybody!
Yes she is 4' 11
Can you please react to Ice Nine Kills Hip to be scared? The singer is Spencer Charnas and he has a beautiful voice .
Thanks so much Sophie x
Hmm, Bethany, I thought it would be Elizabeth.
It isn't so much sounding nasal as it is country twang because she's really from Oklahoma !!
