@acciofun 'It's All the Same' from Man of La Mancha - Joan Diener 'I've Got Everything I Want' from I Had a Ball - Karen Morrow 'My New Philosophy' from You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown - Kristin Chenoweth 'I Get a Kick Out of You' from Anything Goes - Patti LuPone 'It's All Over' from Dreamgirls - Audra McDonald
Thanks Seth!,,Karen Morrow is phenom!!,,,Love " I've got everything I want"..its nice to hear others hear those amazing nuances that not everyone gets...you are the best!
My best friend cannot get enough of that 'IbegtodifferwithyouBilly' in Forbidden Broadway. Like, to the point that when we saw her in concert, he was going to ask her to autograph THAT--a line from a parody show making fun of Patti.
I am obsessed with this because I literally listen to every song and wait to hear when they switch to head voice and judge them by how well they achieve the switch.
Seth, my Darlin' Seth, where the hell have you been all my life??? OMG!!! I found you purely by accident. I'm getting ready to give a performance and wanted to knock 'em dead for eight minutes. What to sing? Broadway music of course since that is what I do. All these years I've been trying to figure out how these other theater queens blend head and chest with such ease. Mine is still a "hit and miss". Very frustrating. Don't suppose you could suggest any special pointers. So far none seem to work consistently for me. HELP!!!!!!! Eternally grateful, Vanessa,
Great! You mentioned my favourite parts of the Forbidden Broadway's parody of Patti's Anything Goes hahah. Their parody of Patti in Gypsy is simply priceless as well. Cracks me up every single time.
I LOVE THIS. Unless the songs are written especially for you by people that know ALL of the nuances of your singing range, skill and style, singers just do their best with their own best voice (insert Merman here). You can find songs that end on your very, very, best note... that note that you can belt and seemingly hold forEVER, OR some songs that have that tippy-top middle phrase that allows you to belt. People sing within an inner ability to deliver in the form of an arrangement to make emphasis... you just think it and feel it. It's a talent. Karen Morrow, simply one of the most fabulous voices, could emphasize so beautifully (she deff has a great loud pedal). It is too bad Morrow never had a major vehicle that she could run away with, but I HAD A BALL is quite good.
I love your sister for flat out saying 'No' to Patti. This video is great and is the best comparison of excellent and poor usage of a head/mix vs. belt. Time to watch all the videos on your youtube after catching you on XM radio the other day!
i wore that forbidden broadway tape OUT when i was a kid! we were OBSESSED with patti's part. we used to put it on in our backyard. SO inappropriate. and we'd yell "i'm makin' nearly a millie!" ???? still no clue what she says. im so glad you did this one :) great trip down memory lane
i love your deconstructions i actually picked up your international sign for VIBRATO i would LOVE it if you deconstructed the new HAIR cast ESPECIALLY Sasha Allen SHE IS A BEAST!
No one can come close to Joan... being the wife of Mitch Leigh the composer doesn’t hurt in having the last word in interpretation as well as vocal prowess.
puhleeze... as gorgeous as that g sounded it was head voice all the way. that performance though would actually be great to deconstruct in this video. she transitions belt to head voice so many times and so beautifully in it
The switches you point out all occur on an /i/ vowel; the /i/ vowel is really conducive to head resonance, or that soprano sound. Those singers that don’t “switch” into head resonance aren’t usually able to sing a real /i/ vowel, but rather do something like a closed /e/, as in “It’s gonna be MAY” by JT. #IPAobsessed
ok, even though I love belting, what's the whole problem with head voice? There's something to be said for even being able to get into your headvoice mid-belt. it's not easy to get to it from a head voice, that's something to be applauded as well
only one problem here, the CHeno is famous for that head not, fans adore her random nature, and we love her amazing ability to go from belting, to head voice, that being said, you were hillarious lip syncing all the parts!
Seth, I so often enjoy your clever insights. BUT, (and I'm sure, I'm not the first to make this observation) YOU ARE SUCH A FRUSTRATED DRAG QUEEN! I still love you though. Keep up the good work.
im surprised patti didnt start shouting "STOP STOP STOP!!!!" in the middle of the song and proceed to yell for an absurdly long amount of time at your sister.
This is one of my very favorite deconstructions because it introduced me to Joan Diener and Karen Morrow, plus it has Cheno, Audra, Patti and "Patti".
i love how Audra MacDonald doesn't need her last name in the title of this video :P
PS i LOVE these videos, they're great! keep them comin.

His facials when he's singing...it's like looking in a mirror xD I do the EXACT same thing.
a trick: you can watch series at flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies these days.
@Camilo Ariel Yea, I've been watching on Flixzone} for since december myself :D
@Camilo Ariel Yea, been watching on Flixzone} for since december myself =)
Omg I totally pictured Patti Lupone on stage and someone randomly going "NO!" haha
I love Forbidden Broadway! :) I'm learning so much about music from you! Thanks!
She's saying "I beg to differ with you Billy." in the Patti Lupone Forbidden Broadway throw away line.
My best friend cannot get enough of that 'IbegtodifferwithyouBilly' in Forbidden Broadway. Like, to the point that when we saw her in concert, he was going to ask her to autograph THAT--a line from a parody show making fun of Patti.
love all your deconstructing videos!!
I knew he was going to use my new philosophy as an example because i've always noticed that. it also happens at the end for "BRAND NEW"
Oh, Audra

Eternally grateful,
Vanessa,
Joan Diener - I was amazed by her sound
Audra = Goddess
Kristin = Love
Patti = Life

YYAYAY! Some Audra! You have no idea how excited I am. This made my day!
I just revealed my neurosis.
"And by a million, I mean: twice."
I love you, Seth!
Me sitting here wishing I wasn’t cursed with a lyric contralto voice. 😣
LOVE all of these women.
I love your sister for flat out saying 'No' to Patti. This video is great and is the best comparison of excellent and poor usage of a head/mix vs. belt.
Time to watch all the videos on your youtube after catching you on XM radio the other day!
The Forbidden Broadway Patti WAS Patti. She did it herself. I know that voice anywhere.
i wore that forbidden broadway tape OUT when i was a kid! we were OBSESSED with patti's part. we used to put it on in our backyard. SO inappropriate. and we'd yell "i'm makin' nearly a millie!" ???? still no clue what she says. im so glad you did this one :) great trip down memory lane
"I beg to differ with you, Billy!" It's an actual line from Anything Goes
Where is a link to that LuPone diction joke song thing?
Seth you are THE BEST!
Okay, after hearing the Beth story, I think I like her.
Great video Seth! By the way, I don't think your voice is annoying at all!
i love your deconstructions
i actually picked up your international sign for VIBRATO
i would LOVE it if you deconstructed the new HAIR cast
ESPECIALLY Sasha Allen
SHE IS A BEAST!
Thank you for doing something on Kristin!!!
No one can come close to Joan... being the wife of Mitch Leigh the composer doesn’t hurt in having the last word in interpretation as well as vocal prowess.
i was JUST thinking the same thing!! her tone and the quality of her vibrato is very similar to Burnett.
omigod! i catch myself doing that vibrato sign too! isn't it the best!
Patti Lupone had pretty good diction except for Buenos Aires. I love the vid on youtube where there are "subtitles" and it's mostly random letters.
finally Kristin! Aweosme video!
i love KAREN MARROW she is such a fantastic woman!! i worked with her in college ugh fantastic.
Seth, I definitely got Kristin's "Mine take a minute" grown-up voice thing the first time I heard it. Well - saw it - via the Tony performance. :)
Children of the Wind is a good example of Belt/Head-soprano voice
i live kristin chenoweth..she AHHHmazing
Can someone tell me why these stopped?
I. Love. Seth.
puhleeze... as gorgeous as that g sounded it was head voice all the way. that performance though would actually be great to deconstruct in this video. she transitions belt to head voice so many times and so beautifully in it

Ten minutes later, and I'm still laughing at "No."
Okay, I just realized I can't get through a day with out your deconstructions.
yeah!
What are the songs, in order?
ok, even though I love belting, what's the whole problem with head voice? There's something to be said for even being able to get into your headvoice mid-belt. it's not easy to get to it from a head voice, that's something to be applauded as well
6:48 is quintessential Patti Lupone parodying.
@wickedObsessed22 I think he said "My New Philosophy"
only one problem here, the CHeno is famous for that head not, fans adore her random nature, and we love her amazing ability to go from belting, to head voice, that being said, you were hillarious lip syncing all the parts!
Seth, I so often enjoy your clever insights.
BUT, (and I'm sure, I'm not the first to make this observation)
YOU ARE SUCH A FRUSTRATED DRAG QUEEN!
I still love you though.
Keep up the good work.
We knew about it already, sweetie. XD
@Guimmi "Abso - 100% - lutely" - Yogi Bear
I LAHHHV KAREN MORROW!
Karen Morrow RULES!!!
its kinda that, the sound resonates in your head as opposed to your chest. soprano voice ish lol
7:56 I need a button
Karen Morrow sounds a lot like Carol Burnett to me.
no way carol has no range no warmth
im surprised patti didnt start shouting "STOP STOP STOP!!!!" in the middle of the song and proceed to yell for an absurdly long amount of time at your sister.
Please deconstruct LEA MICHELE, any song really xDDD Pleeeeeeeeease
i can't get over patti on FB--"ASNIBBIDIBETTY" my brother an i parody it all the time. too bad it closed *RIP* Forbidden Broadway
BAHAH
