Love all the comments here saying that Susan was the best Elle Woods onstage. Whilst I love many actresses in the role and have seen quite a few live, nobody was as strong all round as Susan. Vocally she surpasses all other actresses in the role with a pleasing and easy to listen to tone, strong comfortable voice with considerable range, she really handles the score with ease and manages to add personality. She looks the part and acts really well also. Her dancing was also far better than Sheridan's but hey ho, she's not a dancer but was fantastic in the role but certainly one to have seen live.
This is the first clip I've seen of Susan playing but wow, nearly as good as Laura Bell Bundy! She was a fantastic Elle, the energy, voice (accent and all) and acting just ahh really good :)
Now, I've never seen her live or seen her in the show as Elle or Serena, but from this performance I have to say hands down, she is the best professional Elle I've ever heard or seen. She captures the camp but sincerity of the character, and the show itself. I have to say I prefer her Elle over Bundy's (although Bundy is absolute perfection). She really embodies here the Elle Woods who's bubbly aura we fell in love with in the movie. She really captures what Reese Witherspoon created. I love it. And her vocals??!!! Top notch! The musical is pop-influenced so her pop sound really gives edge to the character, especially that non-nasally belt. dude. she is amazing, I hope she takes a break with Celtic Women and comes back to performing on Broadway and West End SSOOON!!
honestly i have to disagree. she may have the voice to match it but her stage performance is lacking. she has the facial expressions, but lbb definitely embodied elle in general. i have never seen susan live other than this either, but lbb was just THE elle. susan was too focused on her singing that her stage performance was really small. but other than that she was great!
@@ivyvykim1992 Your opinion, the legally blonde community needs to understand that everyone isn’t LBB, I don’t see people constantly comparing Idina or Kristin to any newer Elphaba’s or Glinda’s so why is it every video I see people are complaining because the actor doesn’t act the same way as LBB. :/
Do you know why she had a short contract? Was the show closing? Over here in the states I questioned some casting over in the UK. Helen Dallimore as Galinda in "Wicked" didn't make sense to me. Sheridan played to acclaim as Elle but the videos I saw were not impressive. Honestly Susan was a a half tone or so flat mid song (She's human live TV. I get it. The best singers aren't always on) but she was in tune where it really counted. I saw Laura Bell Bundy in person in "Legally" she was magical. Susan McFadden is also quite excellent!
Wow she is HANDS DOWN the best Elle I have Ever heard. Such a beautiful voice. Perfect as Elle - the way Reese Witherspoon played her. Not to nasal, or deep or high and weak.
When Vivienne showed her ring I finally got what that line meant lmaooo. “Maybe she’s what you prefer.” Referring to Vivienne and “Hey last year I was her.” Referring to herself almost getting married. I’m so stupid lol.
The difference between real talent and the talent from soap shows . Keep the musicals for real talent like susan we are paying hard earned money for these shows your fantastic
I know I am so late to this but OMFG this is amazing ! the vocals were so clean omg just everything was perfection wow. Just wow. where can I find more of this ?!
THAT'S ELLE! out of all the times i've heard this song LBB was nasally sheridan's was good not great. don't even get me started on the girl they replaced LBB with. THIS IS THE ELLE i've had in my head when i hear this song (if that makes sense
oNegLeEk why is it that people dont like LBB. This is an amazing Elle. Very great acting and singing. She made me very impressed and made me so engaged in the performance. She was just amazing. But Laura Bell Bundy is still my favorite. I dont know why. I just really love her acting and portrayal of this song.
@@carlosalejandroalvarenga4913 I like LBB too. She's the broadway one right? Very interactive with her coactors and audience. Execution is also on point.
She is absolutely amazing but I have to know if anyone else hears what I hear.... is she saying "I'll be there on monday 5:00?" instead of 9:00 because to me it really sounds like it lol. Not hating at all, this is probably one of the best performances of this song I've heard, I just want to know if I am hearing things lol
LBB, SUSAN, LAUREN, HAYDEN, BECKY, SHERIDAN, BAILEY, RHIANNON. That is my order of Elles. All good in some way LBB IS THE BEST FOLLOWED BY SUSAN IN MY OPINION
although this girl is certainly very talented, Laura Bell Bundy will always be the best Elle Woods in singing and dancing talent, looks and the "Elle" factor
i can tell alot of people love her as elle i just dont... i think most of the time she was shouting not singing and i love sheridan and think that susan is just not that good

HOW ON EARTH has this Show not become a super success?! it's got so much drive, and it's written and composed SO WELL!
Hey its done better so far then Heathers. And that to me is the best musical ever made.
literally the best vocals ive ever heard w this song. i still think Laura is Elle obviously and always will be, but holy moly, she sounds so amazing
she is literally THE PERFECT ELLE WOODS

no one does it laura bell she was fabulous though!

I just LOVE her over here in the states! Correct key and she doesn't make my ears bleed! Fantastic Elle-acting too!
HOLY CRAP THIS IS AN AMAZING ELLE;; BASICALLY LEVEL WITH LBB's
SHES AWESOME, DEFINITELY A SECOND TO LBB
Bekah's Beauty that means BEST LONDON ELLE! (true)
Yess she really is so awesome after LBB!!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Sheraly
My Sentiments Exactly

Wow her voice is incredible!
I saw all 3 London Elles and she was by far the best - gutted she had a really short contract

One of my favorite versions of the song ugh
Best West End Elle!
best elle ever!
I stand with WADA Nu do you have some beef
I always find it hilarious that the show has a song about Ireland (and confuses the country with Scotland) while Susan is really from Ireland.
I love the backup singers working the Delta Nu hand gesture into the choreography at 2:58....
WAAAAY BETTER THAN SHERIDAN!
Yes, much. Who came first Sheridan or Susan?
marcel-nine-one-one Sheridan :)
Sounds so good but damn that wig needs some work
I wonder why that was needed? Susan's natural hair is already long and blonde.
She's really good! OMIGOD!
shes literally incredible oh my god
She makes this song sound so easy to sing. It's a really hard belting song, especially the last note
Love this Elle SOO much😊
This is my go to song, when I need to believe in myself
This was the best live version I have heard of this song. The warner was a bit loud but other than that it was pretty perfect.
That's Elle wood alright! 💁🏼❤️
Wow. Wow. Wow. This is absolute perfect. My new favorite Elle, though Laura is a very close second.
SHES SO ELLE OMG i got chills watching this
I got the chance to see/meet Susan @ a Celtic Woman concert! She's such a sweetheart!
Besides, Laura she is the best. They should have put her on Broadway after Laura!
itsleeuh YESS SHE’S FREAKING AMAZING!!!!😃😃🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼
She is so Slay
Whoa! she in FANTASTIC!
that final note !!!!! HOLY MOLY
She and LBB are the best; tied for me
susan is fabulous!
Her voice is so good
I notice that she actually belted the last bit and didn’t add any vibrato at the end. This girl is amazing.
Right! which means she could've held it even longer if the song required it!
ONE OF MY FAVORITE ELLES YAHOO
Wow impressed. Her singing is very good!!!!!
Her vocals are amazing! Never like Sheridan's honestly, loved LBB's
Outstanding!
When Vivienne showed her ring I finally got what that line meant lmaooo. “Maybe she’s what you prefer.” Referring to Vivienne and “Hey last year I was her.” Referring to herself almost getting married. I’m so stupid lol.
WOAH I LOVE HER LIKE YAS SIS YYYAAAASSSSS
This gave me chills...
The difference between real talent and the talent from soap shows . Keep the musicals for real talent like susan we are paying hard earned money for these shows your fantastic
Absolutely my favorite Elle Woods
So good, I wish I could’ve seen her perform!
Definitely think this is the second best singer, and easily the best actress, I've seen play Elle in the musicals.
I love her as Elle! I wish I could see a full show with her or at least some other videos but I've only found this one =(
THIS WAS FUCKING AMAZING
I love her she is AMazing Almost better then Laura 2nd Favorite Elle
insane vocal and talent
Love this!!
Just as good as LBB! WOW!
I know I am so late to this but OMFG this is amazing ! the vocals were so clean omg just everything was perfection wow. Just wow. where can I find more of this ?!
Susan is a natural!
Ok wow. No flaws😍😍😍😍
THAT'S ELLE! out of all the times i've heard this song LBB was nasally sheridan's was good not great. don't even get me started on the girl they replaced LBB with. THIS IS THE ELLE i've had in my head when i hear this song (if that makes sense

Carlos Alejandro Alvarenga There are more people than you who love Laura, Like Me!
@@carlosalejandroalvarenga4913 I like LBB too. She's the broadway one right? Very interactive with her coactors and audience. Execution is also on point.
@@myyou7335 LBB opened the Broadway production yes.
Wow... she is PERFECT!... bETTER THEN Bundy's Elle! :o
She is fantastic 😍 I don't know who she is but she's the best professional Elle I've seen
I need a whole recording with her as elle
Dose she not breath how dose she have this energy and hold that notw
She's up there with LBB
for me is;
LBB
Annaleigh Asheford
Susan :)
She and LBB's are the best Elle Woods, hands down
What a voice. Maybe the people responsible for legally blond in Regent’s Park should have watched this first.
fr i was so tempted to go see it but didnt end up going after seeing clips, dont change whats not broken.
@@tobiasbeniston3951 the whole show is online now and it's absolutely awful!! The original is definitely the best!!!!
She is absolutely amazing but I have to know if anyone else hears what I hear....
is she saying "I'll be there on monday 5:00?" instead of 9:00 because to me it really sounds like it lol.
Not hating at all, this is probably one of the best performances of this song I've heard, I just want to know if I am hearing things lol
I hear it too
I like her more than LBB
@sweetdreams1405 any idea who is the next Elle after she leaves?
Siobhan Dillon has come a long way since the audition for Maria
And here I thought no one could beat Laura Bell Bundy...
Sheridan could lip sync using susan's voice. Sheridan was nearly perfect. her voice wasnt suitable as elle. sorry for being honest.
none of those people are the og cast tho
I'm biased to the UK and our performers
THIS is ELLE
Elle went to College in her mid-40's???
She's not even 40 wtf, and she was 28 in this performance
She could be Jem!!!
2:32 ......you wot?
Could this be???!! Better than the orirginal ?? ❤❤😂😮
LBB, SUSAN, LAUREN, HAYDEN, BECKY, SHERIDAN, BAILEY, RHIANNON. That is my order of Elles. All good in some way LBB IS THE BEST FOLLOWED BY SUSAN IN MY OPINION
Why is she 35???? So good tho
Way to be a creep Alan 😂 An example of the reason for the season.
although this girl is certainly very talented, Laura Bell Bundy will always be the best Elle Woods in singing and dancing talent, looks and the "Elle" factor
she seems fake and not like an Elle at all acting wise, but her vocals are amazing. And I really like this emmett
Well, that was cool ... until the Host perved on them. Awkward !
i think sheridan does this just as well!!
This is the cast I saw, they were stunning apart from Susan's voice cracking once at the beginning.
it pest
It was okay 🤗but I do perfer Laura bell bundy as Elle
she just isn't sheridan smith.
i know. Shes 100 times better. Quality vocal and strength
i can tell alot of people love her as elle i just dont... i think most of the time she was shouting not singing and i love sheridan and think that susan is just not that good
AAYARINE Sheridan sounds like complete and utter shit compared to this lady. Yes she was loud in certain parts but overall her vocals were flawless .
