me, out loud, immediately upon seeing this video in my recommended: *"YOU'RE LYING"*
Juli A. ME TOO idk if this was recommended to me bc of how much little shop i watch or how many jake videos i watch
@@caroline_slater as both a theatre kid and an mcu stan, a mood
ME TOOL OH MY GOD I YELLED DJDBDB
SAME!!!
ME TOOOO
Because Ellen Greene is TIMELESS. Whether Seymour is played by Lee Wilkof, Rick Moranis or Jake Gyllenhaal...ONLY Ellen Greene can be Audrey.
I agree
Amen!
Yes!
Amen to THAT!! 👍
I've seen a handful of other women play Audrey and/or sing this song, and no one carries the role like Ellen Greene does.
never realized Jake Gyllenhaal had such a wonderful voice
How come he has such a great voice and they keep casting Talentles shits in big Musical movies
andrew chinn given that Liza’s Cabaret was made in 1972, I’d love to see a new film remake of Cabaret with Lady Gaga as Sally, Jake as Cliff and Alan Cumming as the Emcee.
I know wtf 😂
@@srayj ..... YES.
Five years ago he did Sunday in the Park as part of a concert series at NYC Citi Center. He was wonderful.
Wow Jake can really sing... Is there anything this guy can't do?!
yes it is...he can not dance.
lol see "End of Watch" ...he break dances in it
so you must see DEMOLITION...
be the prince of persia
katnissandpeeta Seymour is a pretty easy character to sing as. I can't see him playing Valjean in Les Mis or The Phantom. He can sing, but only just. His voice trembles quite a bit when hitting certain notes. If it wasn't for his characterisation, I doubt he would even be at level.
HOW DOES SHE STILL LOOK THE SAME AFTER ALL THESE YEARS?!?!
+Bluemgwes I think she may be eating some of the plant to stay young. Alien plant DNA can work wonders.
Being filmed with a potato also helps...
Clean living, ask William Zabrak.
bc shes always looked 180 :/
something called Plastic surgery or BOtox perhaps!
I love how her music stand is empty. She's like, "Yeah, I've done this a few times. I don't need a script." LOL
She's STILL GOT IT
Like nobody else can.
I refuse to believe she's 64, I think she's a magical goddess, bringing her wonderful talent and joy, who we are lucky to have on earth.
But seriously, Ellen Greene is so so incredible, such an inspiration to me! She's an AMAZING actress and singer and she seems like the sweetest person ever! She will forever be Audrey and I love her so much
Brielle C please, someone tell me, why she never hit it as big as lupone or Midler? She’s better than both.
Or maybe it's time to reassess our idea of what 64-year olds can do. ;-)
when everyone clapped the second ellen popped out of her audrey voice gave me CHILLS she is truly a legend
When she hit that note in condescend, fully sent shivers down my spine.. Jesus Christ Ellen Greene is such a queen
Love hearing Jake sing. Usually his roles are so intense and this is just sweet and lovely.
Yes, he's such a versatile actor! He made me cry😢❤
Wow Seymour's a fuckin lumberjack in this version
Sam Houser or a hipstet
Sam Houser Hahaha! Good one.
😂😂😂
Your use of the F-word makes your comment so much more relevant!!!
Ellen Greene's looking good for a 64 year old hitting on a 35 year old! :)
I was guessing the age difference was 30 years. Missed it by one.
Ellen Greene looks AMAZING at 64 !!!!!!!! Original DIVA of the little shop of horrors!!!!!!!
@@TristanandIsolt he was running 35 not yet 35 when he did the play
@@ShwetaChatterjee Are you saying he was 34 so I got it exactly right?
@@TristanandIsolt yep
Now my crush on Jake has grown by 10000
SAME!!!!! He can act and sing and probably lots more very attractive
Ary Peralta I’m available if he’s not.
mine also
He’s supposed to be shlubby but he’s more attractive like this
Wow, Ellen Green clearly knows how to take care of her voice. It's aged a little since she started, but not _nearly_ as much as time has gone by. I was surprised Gyllenhaal could sing. He's got a nice voice.
jake's voice is.... so pretty.... are u kidding me jake?? u rlly are the loml like gosh-
Ellen Greene is as talented as it comes...to be able to perform this song over 30 yrs from which SHE herself originated this performance with such emotion, talent, strength, comedic genius & pure heart is truly amazing!!!
And Jake! Who knew?!
I would play 1000 dollars to see both of them perform this at a Broadway production.
We were in the audience at the live performance. Ellen Greene is a genuine wonder. Some performers just cannot be outdone. Her Audrey. Jennifer Holiday’s And I Am Telling You. Patti Lupone’s Don’t Cry For and Argentina. That’s the stuff legends are made of.
I was lucky enough to see this in person. I have never been to a show that was interrupted by standing ovations so many times. The audience was giving Ellen Greene every ounce of love and respect she deserved. It was pure joy
The power of this song is that Audrey has had to hide her true self for so long, and when seymour shows her kindness, her real (voice) breaks out. I'm convinced ONLY Ellen Greene can play this character and pull this song off like that 😍
I've never been jealous of Jake for his good looks, his talent, his fame, or his fortune, but I sure am jealous that he got to perform this song with Ellen Greene.
The only person that can truly capture the essence of the character imo
Agreed. I wonder who they will cast for the remake. But she'll always be Audrey.
princessnu15 They need to stop remaking the classics. Most of the time they just screw it up anyway.
they ruined rocky horror with the remake also grease
GrayWoIf I wish whoever was responsible for those 2 travesties get horse whipped. And NBC gets fined to within an inch of its life for drinking the Kool-Aid. 😕
Turns out they’re casting Taron Egerton, which is fine by me. He’s a dope singer, although I don’t think it should be remade in the first place
When she slumps over and belts out that first "Suddenly Seymour"....**chills**. Iconic.
I love Ellen Greene so much
Jake Gyllenhaal is so talented and awesome actor
Ivailo Cekov ~ I was surprised, he really knocked it outta the park!
Thank you, whoever brought me back here. I love this so much!! 😘🥰😍
It's really amazing that Ellen Greene is still does broadway, after all these years she still looks the same
I am so impressed with her
The audacity of this man to be this talented at everything is beyond me.
Ellen Green still has a banging body after all these years. God bless her.
When you are like 4 minutes in and suddenly remember Ellen Greene was 64 when she did this. Amazing.
Ellen Greene is a goddess.
+xXHannahSalvatoreXx Really? This role is so nasal....
+FalseDisposition Shhhhhhhhh.
haha ok ok. I'll give ya this one.
She is still a fantastic force of nature...!
seeing her sing the first "suddenly seymour" almost made me burst into tears. shes so amazing
Ellen Green: Sensation every decade.
Ellen Greene is the QUEEN!
ELLEN GREENE IS A GODDESS.
When Ellen started to sing the hairs on my arms legit stood up, (I know I’m late but hey it showed up in my recommendation in 2019 lol)
I’m shocked that’s JAKE GYLLENHAAL!!! He sounds so amazing!
I love it 💝 too
There is something about Ellen Greene doing this that has this passion, creativity, humor, spirit, soul, sadness, hope and beauty that to this day I’ve never seen anyone else doing Audrey capture. The voice, to the movement, to the line reading, this is truly a masterpiece of musical theatre and acting and she can still do it. Icon that’s all I can say icon
This angel hasn't aged a day! Love her and jake gyllenhaal too!!
She brings me to tears everytime I hear her sing this song. She sounds amazing after all these years. The original and best ever Audrey. ❤️❤️
lilimarlene2 Goosebumps, right?
Jeez. Mysterio has to fight a giant man eating plant before fighting Spider-Man I guess..
😂😂
Mysterio would win that fight ngl. Especially with all those drones and the EDITH glasses if he gave spiderman a hard time he can turn that plant into a salad easy
Anthony Pecoraro True, but Audrey II is more than a man eating plant. Basically, he has ALMOST the same powers as Mysterio. He is manipulative, he can force others to do his dirty work and bend some of reality by his will power. He also can release green fog that not only stuns victims, but takes control of them, from his pod. Mysterio would have trouble fighting him. Audrey II could get him to get literally INSIDE of his mouth just by saying that he could kill Spider-Man.
Jester Joseph you do realize that mysterio has the same powers so he can bend that plant to his will. Plus he has literally hundreds if not thousands of drones at his command. Drones that could easily blow up a bus.
Anthony Pecoraro He can not bend the plant to his will. He only could create that illusion. And if you even watched Little Shop of horrors, you could see that he is almost immune to that. Also, considering after he Movie Peter has the glasses back, no. He doesn’t have the use of the drones. So, you were saying?
*I DIDN’T KNOW HE COULD SING*
Wow! Just read that Ellen Greene was 64 yrs old when she did this performance.
She looked good, and still had for her age, an amazing set of ....... lungs! lol
Ellen Greene is the QUEEN of this role! No one comes close! And props to Jake Gyllenhaal for being able to convey a shy, awkward nerd (his posture and voice are superb) despite being one of the hottest men on the planet. What a pair!
shes still unreal 😍
ellen greene's 64 year old ass able to out sing ANYONE else who could even imagine to think of taking this role.........a true legend.
omg he should sing more,he has beautiful voice❤
He had a great mentor in Ellen Greene. :)
he was also the lead in Sunday in the Park with George off Broadway
Yea check out the Sunday in the Park with George revival, he’s amazing in that
Ok, how does Ellen Greene still look like that AND sound like that?! Truly phenomenal!
NO one does Audrey like her… the shaky voice, the adorable damsel in distress, tartlike but still sweet
What gives this man the right to be absolutely perfect in every way
Amazing. From London in 1982 to now, NO ONE will ever play this part with more soul than Ellen. Brava
Shit, Jake can sing.
How the hell does Ellen Greene look exactly the same almost 30 years later? Mind = blown!
Ellen is the ultimate Audrey. No one and play or sing that role like her.
omg he sings so cute
She's SO over the top. But I love it!
WAAAAAIIIITTTT he sings too?! #iminlove
Wow. For all of the reasons. Ms. Greene crushing this song/role for some 40 years. Jake.. breaking my heart with his vocals & physicality. The pianists inflection. Just.. wow.
Well that was F-ing AWESOME! It’s like this song was written for Ellen… jeeze! 🙌🏼
jake honestly has a very healthy way of singing. im very happy he knows how to control his voice the way he does!
She really is that role! No one will ever be able to replace her as Audre
STANDING OVATIONS!!!!!
I had no idea Jake Gyllenhaal could sing like that. And Ellen Greene's STILL GOT IT.
Sing Ellen…Sing Jake! SING everyone!
I was there 😭 one of the best nights of my life
She hit those vibratos so effortlessly😍
Hello Kristina
GOOSE... BUMPS. Ellen Greene is a National Treasure. She always deserved to be more widely known. Beyond the stage. A special singing voice.
One of the best versions!
Ellen Greene. IMMORTAL because of this performance. Ranks up there with most iconic performances EVER. WoWowowowow. Happy Tears. And yes, Jake was adorable.
I'M GOOPEDDDD. he can sanggg 👁👄👁👏👏
Ellen Greene can still hit the notes after all these years
You know you've made it in life when you see Jake Gyllenhaal sing
I actually applauded at home. Ellen Green always moves me to tears. What a voice!
Can we just discuss the fact that she hasn't seemed to have aged a day since 1986?
Love Jake even more now. Wow
Holy hell Ellen's voice is amazing
She's still got it
Love how powerfully she is beling it out. Putting even more power into it then was used in the movie.
He has a good voice and he is a great actor and cute too boot, I love him ! :)
This is one of my favorite videos on the internet, but. THAT IS A HANDKERCHIEF, NOT A KLEENEX.
Derek Martz ... 😅
Product placement!
I love Ellen Greene. I find it interesting that she has become a broad exaggerated characterization of herself. Carol Channing did the same thing as she kept recreating her iconic Dolly in Hello Dolly.
Goddamn she’s brilliant
ELLEN IS AMAAAAAZING god bless her soul
Oh my ever loving god why have I never seen or even heard of this? I had no bloody idea Jake Gyllenhaal could sing let alone encompass one of my favourite characters from one of my favourite movies growing up! And not just that sorcery, how in Jakes green apples does Ellen Green look and sound exactly like she did 36 years ago? This was probably one of the most magical videos I’ve seen in years! Im having a nerdgasm!
is this the same Ellen Greene who was in the Movie ?
+Mark Spark Yeah ... just almost 30 years older
So cool that she's still playing this role and saying these lines all this time later.
And the original off Broadway cast from the 80s.
And she is still a fantastic force of nature...!
The one and only.
Jake is amazing. I want to see this live so badly.
I’m glad he sang it simply and didn’t try to oversing it.
At 5:48 and on, how is it possible to be simultaneously jealous of both of them!?
I teared up. Still a great performance.
I love this pairing he has a great voice an I like his presence on stage. Of course I love Rick and wish he would of done it. But this man is just has good
Saw Ellen in Cleveland touring before the movie....so amazing. We've seen so few times a character so well rounded, so truly understood....amazing Ellen. And to Jake, beautiful performance and so generous as an actor. I will watch this over and over....forever.....
Ellen is in her 60s here!!!! Dear god she can still do Audrey PERFECT and look like Audrey like she did it the first time back in the early 80s. She literally was born to play this part. I cry every time Ellen sings.
WAIT A FUCK.
Jake can sing?
Holy shitballs.....
Is this guy just some kind of performing Jesus or some shit?
Lol this is probably the best UA-cam comment I've ever read.
Existential Dread His real name is Jesus Gyllenhaal, but he went with Jake to keep a low profile
nobody:
Seymour: |
jake Gyllenhaal: 💪💪💪💪
Jake is so nervous. You can tell the way his hands are in and out of his pockets. But it’s so endearing and makes me love his performance more.
Ellen Greene is ICONIC!!!!
It fits Seymour though
He's playing the character.
Is it the recording, or my screen, or does Ellen Greene have the largest hands of any human being, ever!?
Man, so wonderful. Their voices are perfect.
Omg, he can sing. I just died.
I love this song.
I love Jake on stage. Normally you don't see the bigs of Hollywood on stage beside Al Pacino or some classic ones. he is so nice .
Omg that was so insanely good. Jake is WONDERFUL as Seymour! So gentle, humble, quiet and insecure! My face hurts from smiling so hard!!!
Ellen Greene is incomparable! She’s a joy to experience!
