For nina’s storyline in the movie it makes more sense for leslie to be nina. A black hispanic women who feels she doesn’t fit in, in a community and her getting searched
No puedo esperar a escucharla como la blanca nieves, tiene la voz de una verdadera princesa, esta canción no la he podido dejar de escuchar y ella la interpreta hermosamente, al igual que Leslie ❤️

Wait she said that they filmed at the same time so it would’ve been impossible for her to play both. Does that mean she had an opportunity to be in In The Heights?!
@@12harrypotterfan34i think she would be a better Vanessa honestly not just the voice match but Vanessa is more fierce in a way where as Nina is super sweet in her own way and i think Rachel would portray Vanessa better
rachel as nina when?id love to see one of my fav actresses as one of my fav roles-i watched her in west side story two weeks ago and she was brilliant!
Okay I’ve seen many versions of this, both versions of you singing if you include beautiful vibrato on the long a in ‘saaaved’ every dollar. I haven’t heard any other version make that choice. My question, when I’m trying to sing this song, I can’t do the vibrato on that note. How do you do it? lol.
Once again, a friendly reminder that Puerto Rican is not an ethnicity. Also, she's just singing a cover which is clearly stated so you're not being clever with your jab.
her vibrato control is so admirable
I’d love to see Rachel as Nina in a stage production
Me too ❤❤❤
Omg, she is so talented. She would've been great in Nina's role, but Leslie was great too. Very excited to see her in West Side Story.
For nina’s storyline in the movie it makes more sense for leslie to be nina. A black hispanic women who feels she doesn’t fit in, in a community and her getting searched
The way she sings so effortlessly is amazing!
I've loved this song for over 12 years now- I think is the best version I have EVER heard
her voice is absolutely gorgeous oh my gosh
im obsessed with her voice, im so sad that she deleted a lot of her youtube covers.
CHILLS. FUCKING CHILLS. This is real, raw talent. I love.
she’s amazing and her spanish is perfect 💖
I'm obsessed with her talent!
I swear every time I think of a favorite showtune I find Zegler has done a cover somewhere.
No puedo esperar a escucharla como la blanca nieves, tiene la voz de una verdadera princesa, esta canción no la he podido dejar de escuchar y ella la interpreta hermosamente, al igual que Leslie ❤️
MY GOD THIS WOMAN
I literally had to keep double checking cause I was sure you were the original singer , this is insane - marvellous just marvellous

Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida

Breathe.

Y si pierdes mis huellas que dios te bendiga
Respira.
[NINA:]
This is my street
I smile at the faces
I’ve known all my life
They regard me with pride
And everyone’s sweet
They say, “You’re going places!”
So how can I say that while I was away
I had so much to hide!
“Hey guys, it’s me!
The biggest disappointment you know.”
The kid couldn’t hack it
She’s back and she’s walkin’ real slow
Welcome home
Just breathe…
[COMMUNITY:]
Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida
Respira…
Y si pierdes mis huellas que dios te bendiga
Respira…
[NINA:]
As the radio plays old forgotten boleros
I think of the days when this city was mine
I remember the praise
“Ay, te adoro, te quiero,”
The neighborhood waved, and
Said, “Nina, be brave and
You’re gonna be fine!”
And maybe it’s me
But it all seems like lifetimes ago
[COMMUNITY:]
Te adoro
Te quiero
Respira!
Respira!
[NINA:]
So what do I say to these faces that I used to know?
“Hey, I’m home?”
[NEIGHBOR LADY:]
Mira Nina
[NINA:]
Hey…
[COMMUNITY:]
No me preocupo por ella
[NINA:]
They’re not worried about me
[COMMUNITY:]
Mira, allí esta nuestra estrella!
[NINA:]
They are all counting on me to succeed
[COMMUNITY:]
Ella sí da la talla!
[NINA:]
I am the one who made it out!
The one who always made the grade
But maybe I should have just stayed home…
When I was a child I stayed wide awake
Climbed to the highest place
On every fire escape
Restless to climb
I got every scholarship
Saved every dollar
The first to go to college
How do I tell them why
I’m coming back home?
With my eyes on the horizon.
Just me and the GWB, asking, “Gee Nina, what’ll you be?”
Straighten the spine
Smile for the neighbors
Everything’s fine
Everything’s cool
The standard reply:
“Lots of tests, lots of papers.”
Smile, wave goodbye
And pray to the sky, oh, god..
And what will my parents say?
[COMMUNITY:]
Nina..
[NINA:]
Can I go in there and say
[COMMUNITY:]
Nina..
[NINA:]
“I know that I’m letting you down..”
[ABUELA CLAUDIA:]
Nina..
[NINA:]
Just breathe…
Wow that was incredible.
oh to see rachel and leslie in a movie together
Wait she said that they filmed at the same time so it would’ve been impossible for her to play both. Does that mean she had an opportunity to be in In The Heights?!
she auditioned for in the heights but she didn't get the part!
@@j.8643 also i think she was filming west side story if I remember correctly
Them: How many times have you watched this
Me: YES
My goodness, you are possibly my favorite Nina ever. How is that possible?!
I totally picture her performing with the metal band Spiritbox as a guest
She auditioned??!! Too bad they were filming at the same time.
yep! she was probably just too young for the part 😩
@@j.8643 yeah Corey is like 33 so would have been a little weird the age gap.
If they ever bring In the Heights back to Broadway, I really hope Rachel gets cast. She would be amazing as Nina or Vanessa.
@@12harrypotterfan34i think she would be a better Vanessa honestly not just the voice match but Vanessa is more fierce in a way where as Nina is super sweet in her own way and i think Rachel would portray Vanessa better
@@earthtohannah.Same, I think she’d be great as Vanessa
Damn, I’m in love!!
rachel as nina when?id love to see one of my fav actresses as one of my fav roles-i watched her in west side story two weeks ago and she was brilliant!
i feel like she’s be a better Vanessa than Nina, but that’s just my opinion 😊😉😜
Okay I’ve seen many versions of this, both versions of you singing if you include beautiful vibrato on the long a in ‘saaaved’ every dollar. I haven’t heard any other version make that choice. My question, when I’m trying to sing this song, I can’t do the vibrato on that note. How do you do it? lol.
Bravo! 👏🏼👏🏼
こんなに美しい声を持っているのに、、、、、、
本当に悲しい
Wow wow
And to think they didn't choose her
She would be better if she was Nina in the Heights,
But She & Leslie are Talented.
it just occured to me that she'd make an awesome Nina
I think you should’ve just taken a break from being human so we could’ve had you in WSS and ITH (Leslie Grace was still great) 🙌🏻
Brava!
Chocada demais
I’m not a huge fan of her acting especially in hunger games but my GOD can she sing 😍
She would have done well as Nina . She has a daddy’s girl vibe that the role is looking for
wait. was the video wrong or was she lip syncing
she's not lip syncing! 💕
the audio probably just isn’t in sync
Is she gonna steal another Puerto Rican role
Once again, a friendly reminder that Puerto Rican is not an ethnicity. Also, she's just singing a cover which is clearly stated so you're not being clever with your jab.
