Elijah Kelly is mad talented no doubt about it... But he also sang this song in a studio while this guy was singing live while dancing and jumping around...
@@pixelle2848 In my experience, it's actually the other way round - if you wanna dance on beat, singing on beat is your best friend. Otherwise you'd just confuse yourself.
Hey um can you PLEASE do Mama ima big girl now?! I love that song! Also this is an amazing song! Seaweed’s (Ephiram) got some sick moves, even better singing skills, and amazing chemistry with Penny (Ariana).
We did this show my Junior year and I was Little Inez...I had fun doing this song. Except for the ending my partner was shorter than me... and i was so afraid of hurting him
I LOVE this version so don’t get me wrong, but is he singing a bit off-beat? NO hate, probably some technical difficulty, but I was just wondering if it was just me who heard it?
I Just Love ❤ 😍 💖 ❣ 💕 💘 this Song it's reminds when I was young the Most iconic Muscail Movie of all time I'm Just Lovin it and killing it Just Like Link Larkin my Favourite CHARACTER this Movie Rocks
The point of Penny-Lou’s chemistry with him is that they’re metres away from each other but you can still see the spark. I don’t like how she’s so close to him, it takes away how made for each other they were
I Just Love Hairspray Live I Just love ❤ it it's one of my favourite Movie of all time and all the 60s Hits From This New Movie Hairspray Live and it Rocks
Seeing this version made me realized how incredibly sanitized the movie version's dialogue in this scene is. "Is that part of town safe for us white people?" and Anez's dialogue is highly sanitized in the movie.
R&B Legend Tevin Campbell played Seaweed on Broadway for 5 plus years and he tops them all. Sorry but even Elijah Kelly was so so vocally in this role. Ephraim unfortunately struggles vocally in all of his roles. Ephraim was supposed to originally star on Broadway as Michael Jackson but Miles Frost was given the role. Thank Heavens!
I don't know why the little girl with original broadway cast in 2002 couldn't sing but I guess Hairspray course corrected with all the later versions of little inez to make sure she could hold a note.
Did he butcher that vocal performance or was that just me? I know that was Ariana Grande, big names, but… even the scene at the end where he slid up her body - that just looks.. a little creepy. This was the BEST scene in the movie! But, for the live show… a stronger voice and singing on time more than less would have been appreciated. The dancing is important, but not as important as Seweed’s amazingly strong delivery of every line that PULLS you in from the very start of that scene in the movie. From a musical with such big names, I was expecting more!!
Seaweed is great XD! Fav song from the musical. But Ariana..... seriously, cute voice, but no lungs and 0 proyection. Her voice is muted by everyone else's. No good for musicals, in my opinion.
Want more Hairspray? Look no further - bit.ly/3pY6Gis
omg please post the song "mama I'm a big girl now" i cant find the video anywhere and its my favorite song in the whole world !!!!! xxx

"You're BEAUTIFUL when you're unconcious!"
*You wanna run that by me again*
there were a few “errrrr sorry what was that?” lines in this production 😬
@@b0o0dlesn0o0dles I can see that, happens with a lot of older musicals
@@b0o0dlesn0o0dles some of the lines are written intentionally bad/cringy to fit the “camp” theme
@@b0o0dlesn0o0dles yea especially “no matter what you weigh!” in without love, if someone said that to me, i’d cut them off forever.
sounds rapey
He did good but Elijah Kelley SANG the hell out this song in the movie, hands down best version
He sure did
I’m fairness this guy is singing and dancing live and a little out of breath, while the guy in the movie got to record his singing in the studio.
@@CaseyBlizzard that is true, but even at the beginning of the song when he is just standing around he doesn’t sound nearly as good
Elijah Kelly is mad talented no doubt about it... But he also sang this song in a studio while this guy was singing live while dancing and jumping around...
@@RobotRebelCinema in the beginning before he started dancing his voice was still rather weak though.
I forgot how much I love this song. Seaweed has some sick dance moves and a beautiful voice.
That little girl has some vocals
Can we talk about the girl playing Inez cause OH MY GOD SHE IS AMAZING
AND SHE IS NALA IN THE LION KING 2019
Coincidence that Billy Eichner (Rob Barker) was in there too, as Timon.
LITTLE INES IS AMAZING OH MY GOD!!!!
I wish the ending of this could have been the same as the movie!
This time a balance is made as tracy won @@SxyChicDisney
Little Inez was adorable, I loved her performance and her singing ! ❤️👸🏾
This scene is hilarious every time I watch it, it’s iconic!!!
He is so talented however the timing is off a little bit. That is the only thing that is bothering me. Other than that he has a killer voice
i think it's intentional but i agree...
It is intentional but it honestly just sounds horrible because of that
I think it’s intentional but it sounds like he’s dragging. It’s very annoying.
@@thebostonleague7620man stop glazing, it is not that bad 😭 he did his thang, idc what nobody says
Gracias, lo hace demasiado y no se disfruta la canción
He’s so handsome and talented!😍
You got that right.
What a great performer.
He looks different in Hamilton like he aged and I can't wait to see him as Michael Jackson
He’s going to be Michael Jackson!!! 😆😆😆
@@zariaweber yeah apparantly there is an incoming broadway about MJ but covid happened
Same!!!!
We'll see in October 😊
@@Agent-ed7dw for real?!? omg that’s hella cool
I really love the hairspray movie version of this!! (but little sis killed her part in this ver)
😂
Love this though.. soo much talent. Arianna plays Penny superbly!!
Seriously impressive camerawork as well!
we did not get enough of this little ines
I forgot how amazing he is!!❤️
The fact that the whole time Ari walks on her toes cause she is so used to wearing heels...
Seaweed is KILLING IT
He’s so talented and attractive 😩👏🏻
4:03 i’m in AWE
Love Ephraim! Thank for posting :)
He sounds off beat. I wonder if there was some kind of audio issue.
No when you dance they sound off beat to me the sound is good
It’s harder to dance and sing and dance at the same time so he might be a bit off beat due to that
I was thinking the same thing.
Maybe he couldnt hear the music?
Tech issues?
Either way, still an amazing preformance❤
i saw the show when it was live on tv they did have a few audio issues
@@pixelle2848 In my experience, it's actually the other way round - if you wanna dance on beat, singing on beat is your best friend. Otherwise you'd just confuse yourself.
no matter what version of hairspray you watch, lil inez is PERFECT.
Thank you Hair Spary Live You are The Best
Ephraim can literally be assigned any role and kill it
I just lost my home and y’all knew exactly what I needed💕🥺
Oh no I’m so sorry
@@lilcatepillar Thank you! My family is okay thankfully! Lost a few pets and most of our possessions, but we know it could’ve been way worse!!
Oh my!! That’s so sad, I’m sorry about that. How are you doing now?
@@radiantsana Starting over is tough but we’re hanging in! It’s officially been 48 hours. Thanks for asking🙂
Oh my god, I hope you're all okay now?
all yall saying the timing is off okay and he literally ate that up IDCC
Shahidi as lil Anez is everything 💯😍💯😍💯😍
I've been waiting for this !! I'm so happy
Hey um can you PLEASE do Mama ima big girl now?! I love that song! Also this is an amazing song! Seaweed’s (Ephiram) got some sick moves, even better singing skills, and amazing chemistry with Penny (Ariana).
I was really surprised when I found out he was 30 in this- he looks 23, though Ariana was 23 when they filmed this.
They way they're struggling to keep up is sending me
Ephraim Sykes was roughly 31 years old when he performed as Seaweed here.
4:49 this is kinda similar to a move he does in Ain’t Too Proud.
BEST. MUSICAL. EVER.
I prefer Elijah's version😔
You are not alone
Same
Right throw the choreography and the singing away I love the acting tho
No frr he did not give what he thought he gave
You should hear Tevin
We did this show my Junior year and I was Little Inez...I had fun doing this song. Except for the ending my partner was shorter than me... and i was so afraid of hurting him
YESSS FINALLY!! THIS IS MY FAVORITE UA-cam CHANNEL 😭
go off ephraim!
Is the Best well known Movie ever made is all thanks too you Hairspray Kive you got what it takes too make it in 2 the Big time
I Just Lovin the 60s Hits From Hairspray Live 2016 and the same as Hairspray 2007 so with me
I LOVE this version so don’t get me wrong, but is he singing a bit off-beat? NO hate, probably some technical difficulty, but I was just wondering if it was just me who heard it?
I also heard it but I think it’s still fine either way!
Oh thank goodness I'm not the only one.
omg now I can’t unhear it
@@mainaparent6017 Haha
He’s dragging for most of it. He’s good tho
amazing performance, but was it just me or did seaweed sing totally out of time from the backing track?
I think the song is bigger than his voice. This was not the character for him.
“Tracy are you dead?” 😂
I Just Love ❤ 😍 💖 ❣ 💕 💘 this Song it's reminds when I was young the Most iconic Muscail Movie of all time I'm Just Lovin it and killing it Just Like Link Larkin my Favourite CHARACTER this Movie Rocks
The point of Penny-Lou’s chemistry with him is that they’re metres away from each other but you can still see the spark.
I don’t like how she’s so close to him, it takes away how made for each other they were
This weekend have show? I miss so much 🇧🇷🇧🇷
This cool but Elijah Kelly seaweed singing this song is better
Well his was recorded
@@jrad410 🤷🏾 still sung it better in my opinion
@@terynb4407 I do agree lol
Well look both of them are amazing in their own special way
@@jrad410 ok and
Howd yall know I have a crush on seaweed
Elijah Kelley or Ephraim Sykes? Lol I love Ephraim 💖
@@niamakaylahcaldwell9742 its Elijah for me😫✋
You should post “Mama Ima Big Girl Now” !!!!
I Just Love Hairspray Live I Just love ❤ it it's one of my favourite Movie of all time and all the 60s Hits From This New Movie Hairspray Live and it Rocks
was his earpiece off? He was like a bit behind the whole time
I didnt know this but ephram is a year older than elijah kelley who played seaweed in the movie but he looks younger
Nice upload friend!
Broadway star Ephraim Sykes.
ahhhh me encanto
Seeing this version made me realized how incredibly sanitized the movie version's dialogue in this scene is.
"Is that part of town safe for us white people?" and Anez's dialogue is highly sanitized in the movie.
I prefer the 2007 version .
Me too
He’s honestly so off tempo, but his dancing is amazing
I love this movie 2007 way better than this
❤️✨
Incómodo de escuchar, canta más en el tempo porfa seewed
My name is Philip
I am in heaven
Cause Seaweed J Stubbs can only count to 7
1:04
Not bad he had everything on point except for that last part but everything else 👍
"You're BEAUTIFUL when you're unconcious!" .... what in the pill cobsy was that suppose to mean
Lol
You know what Seaweed can't do?
Count to 10.
*Anthony Ramos is triggered*
I wanna hear Jordan Fisher sing this 👀👀👀👀
Woah. I didn’t know George Eacker (Hamilton) and Cat Valentine (Victorious) were in a relationship
I don’t know it the guy from Hamilton
R&B Legend
Tevin Campbell played Seaweed on Broadway for 5 plus years and he tops them all.
Sorry but even
Elijah Kelly was so so vocally in this role.
Ephraim unfortunately struggles vocally in all of his roles.
Ephraim was supposed to originally star on Broadway as
Michael Jackson but Miles Frost was given the role.
Thank Heavens!
Ese chico si se parece a Zac Efron...
I feel like the timing was off, he’s great but this role was too big for him
What channel is hairspary on
Vimeo
Ariana?
Yup, Ariana
Ariana Grande is my best friend😂😂😂😂
And now Epharim will be playing Michael Jackson when Broadway returns.
No disrespect but theatre sometimes makes me really really appreciate movies lol
1:43 voice got messed up
James Madison/ Mulligan is that you? 😂
NO! It's George Eacker
I don't know why the little girl with original broadway cast in 2002
couldn't sing but I guess Hairspray course corrected with all the later versions of little inez to make sure she could hold a note.
Did he butcher that vocal performance or was that just me?
I know that was Ariana Grande, big names, but… even the scene at the end where he slid up her body - that just looks.. a little creepy.

uht uhn bby this aint gone work lol
I love little inez but that said 51 cents though😂
i wish they kept penny blonde
Penny acted like she was being electrocuted at the end.
The boy needs to keep his hand off his groin. He's just trouble! lol
the little girl better than him
looks like cat valintine has a new addiction other than bibble (to gum)
Kristen Baldwin May 23
he off beat af
They picked the wrong black man but everyone else was doing they thing
Elijah Kelly version better- can’t your off key
I was cringing at the end
I know y’all must be lying he sings good but the way it is sung is horrid
Is it just me, or is Seaweed a tad off beat here?
Seaweed is great XD! Fav song from the musical. But Ariana..... seriously, cute voice, but no lungs and 0 proyection. Her voice is muted by everyone else's. No good for musicals, in my opinion.
I feel bad for saying this but we does he keep on looking like he is touching himself?
I did not like this performance at all. The beginning he sounds so out of sync
***slams a dodge ball at you***
He wasn't as good as elijah kelley
