First video I found where Rizzo actually knows how to act. Great job making the text real and doing your homework on subtext. when you sing your gestures are real and your carry the narrative of the song while maintaining the melody and not trying to show off, which in turn makes the song more rich and inadvertently makes you look good.
Nikki is my daughter and her drama teacher, Diana Rogers did a great job casting her. She just knew that Nikki was Rizzo and that she would be able to bring it to life, after doing her research.. She does have certain mannerisms that are so close to Stockard Channing. Thank you for your wonderful comment!!
Wow!!!! The voice is fabulous but what's almost even more impressive is the acting that created those amazing vocal subtleties. Note Stockard Channing was 34 years old when she starred in the movie!! You're such a mature presence at such a young age. Great covers on your channel....upload more! I hope you are pursuing this as a career!!!
Agreed. I can't imagine a better job as Rizzo than Ms. Nikki accomplished. Only in high school at the time? Wow. In addition to the saxophone, the drum back beat was way too heavy for a ballad - brush work would have worked much better.
I'm singing this for my Grease audition next week and it's so hard to hit the emotion just right. But you do it phenomenally! My audition is tomorrow!!!!!
This seems to be a popular song to perform, and I've listened to a lot of the covers of this song. This young lady does one of the best I've ever heard. Not just the voice, but the mannerisms and stage presence. I hope she continues to perform!
I’m playing Rizzo in my schools performance of Grease and though I am not singing this song I use this for character inspiration as this girl can act and sing just like Rizzo. I find it hard to catch Riz’s mannerisms just right but omg have you got it! Wish me all the luck in the world for my performance!! :)
Hello, we are also gonna do Grease in our highschool :) Can you please tell me where you found the background music for this song? Because it sounds great. Thanks :)
Nilufer İsler All of the music was performed live. But you can find accompaniment or karaoke tracks for this song on many websites. I usually get downloadable tracks from Amazon.
The Glee version is pre-recorded in a studio and digitally-processed to smooth out imperfections. Plus, the studio can pitch vocals up and/or down to get them in key.
This Rizzo is absolutely brilliant! I hope she has gone on to further her career in this field. Oh, well done! Very well done!
She has another video (Nikki Dermott Let It Go Cover) that was just added. :)

amazing voice
I give credit to ANY High School that takes on the enormous task of putting on a musical. This young woman can sing!
Orchestra needed a saxophone, though the live aspect added a charm to it. Otherwise really good singing and performance by everyone.
Nikki and her classmates did an awesome job..:)

Rizzo makes a great ELSA too. :) Yes, it is the same girl!
Where the fucking Tenor Sax?!
She's amazing. The bass player sucks.
The one on glee sound alot whole better than this
Yara Rayos you can’t compare a high school performance LIVE to actors on a tv show, the glee version was recorded in a studio too.

*terrible audio mix*
