- I put as many different portrayals here as I could. If a certain actor doesn't appear here I either couldn't find or didn't have audio/video of them singing the song, or they didn't perform the role until after the video was published.

Katie Hall's is one of my favourites. She brings a large amount of character to Cosette!
JUDY KUHN IS QUEEN
I love this song, and Judy Kuhn is my favorite.

Bravo ladies!!! :)
Honestly, a lot of these don't really fit Cosette's character. People hate on Amanda Seyfried for her technique and vibrato, but at least she understood that Cosette was a gentle and sweet lady. Half of these are extremely bold, loud opera voices. While they may be gorgeous voices, they don't really fit Cosette. A little too harsh, maybe. Rebecca Caine nails the over the top opera, though. Somehow. Idk, maybe she's a unicorn.
Seriously! A couple times I was like "chill out this isn't eponine!"
Nataliah Drake feel like Katie Hall got the sweetness too maybe since you get the same vibe of character that you get with Amanda
Right? Some of them keep saying that Amanda sounds like she was nervous. Well, the girl has lived a life without any friends nor knowing anything about her father, who keeps running and hiding, and she just met the love of her life and didn't know who he is and was confusing about her feelings; they expect a girl in such situation to be calm?? That was a movie, not a musical so she had to act with her voice too (unlike the musical, where singing technique comes first), and for the movie (where acting and motions and images are important) I think Amanda did a great job.
To me, I think everyone's singing in the to movie suck compare to the musical (obviously?) since in the movie, they have little support from the music, they have to focus on acting first and meanwhile singing, they have to cut off some good lines from the musical, and sometimes they sing like talking, etc... but instead the images and picutures created are so good. I watched the movie before the musical, but after the musical I couldn't listen to the movie's soundtracks anymore, but when I listen to them while watching the movie, they sound good again.
Emma Rose agreed nor Fantine
Nataliah Drake lol sorry but Amanda doesn’t come close to these amazing singers. Her interpretation was nice, and I get what you mean about Cosette being gentle and sweet but I’ve always understood the character differently. She’s a free spirit and longs to escape from the restrictive world she’s in. Her father won’t let her so much as look in the direction of a man or even go outside the garden walls without him accompanying her. She’s frustrated and this song is her wishing to escape.
17:01 Sierra Boggess
13:51 THAT'S MY AUNT!!!!!! LOVE YOU SANDRA!!!!!!!!!!
It's such a shame that Nicky Adams ruined her voice, she was such a wonderful soprano. So light and so pure
How did she ruin her voice? I've heard a recording of her from Phantom (I dunno if that was before or after Les Miz) and it was good. What a shame if ruined it.
Sierra Boggess, Ali Ewoldt, and Alex Finke were my favorite ones
One thing I have noticed of the list of Cosette's is that the original Cosette Becky Caine is not on the list.
Katie Hall will always be my Cosette
So glad to see Zoe in this comparison.
35:00 I'm so glad you included this production, it was amazing!
Idara Victor is just AMAZING...
This is so weird for me because Philippa Healey was my first singing teacher.
39 minutes of heaven 😌😌
the girl from buenos aires did an awesome job
They are all good. You do not get cast in the most popular musical of all time if you cannot act and sing.
The first Cosette in 1980 french concept album is great,too.But no one knows...
Could you do an 'American Dream' from Miss Saigon, please? :)
Zoe Zoe Zoe😍😍😍😍😍
I want to watch this whole video but it's so long... I'll wait for a better oportunity to watch it
You seemed to have forgotten Rebecca Caine, the original London Cosette.
+BNSF1995 I wanted to put her in, but all my Rebecca recordings have her singing I Saw Him Once :(
+Betsy Haze Thank you for taking the time to make these comparison videos. :)
Out of curiosity. Have you ever heard Lisa Vroman as Cosette?
@@beththingineverhad I actually was able to meet her in Tulsa, OK when she was pursuing an opera career. This period would have been the early 1990s. She was in Fidelio. Rebecca was extremely nice to this fan. She said there was a reason that a full recording of "A Heart Full of Love" did not exist on the LP but I cannot reveal it publicly. The theater is a harsh career to pursue. If you listen to the London and Paris production, Rebecca Caine & Marie Zamora have very similar lyrical voices. I believe that was the type of voice Alain Boublil had wanted for Cosette. Apparantly, the powers above him, decided they wanted a different way for Judy Kuhn to sing it. After the Broadway production, the Cosette style was set in stone and it is what you heard in Europe and every production from then on. (Betsy, you can also fill volumes with what I DON'T KNOW!!!) That wisdom is my best guess.
@@beththingineverhad I know it's very late but where can I find any of her video?!? I cant find anything
Judy Kuhn obviously nails it but ALEX FINKE. WOW.
I wish they didn’t delete I Saw Him Once. Cosette is so underrated
Lauren Wiley
Lee Ji Soo
Katie Hall
Amanda Seyfried
Ali Ewoldt
They're my top 5 Favorite Broadway Actress to play Cosette
YES JUDY KUHN!!!! And Phoebe Street!
Judy Kuhn does pissed off Cosette so,so well.
Katie hall and Rebecca Caine are my favourite cossette’s because they have powerful singing voices
Why are they always making Cosette blonde when she's brunette in the book? I can understand if the actress genuinely cannot pull off a brunette wig, but Mary Michael Patterson and Samantha Hill are both natural brunettes and yet they stuck them in blonde wigs. And Louise Fribo, Katie Hall, and Amanda Seyfried have all pulled off brown hair in the past. I don't get it.
Yes, thank you! Everyone seems to have forgotten her hair being described as "[...] châtains nuancés de veines dorées [...]" Apparently we can't have two brunette leads despite the fact that Cosette has blonde streaks anyway (which would help set her and Éponine/Fantine apart for first-time viewers).
Don't get me started on Fantine. For heaven's cake, her nickname is "la Blonde".
Hi! My voice teacher was a Cosette on Broadway then became Fantine years later. She was telling me how that she used to always be a Brunette. Cameron Macintosh I believe that's how you spell his name said that under no circumstance will Cosette ever be a blonde. The brunette hair made her face look more toned and innocent. Apparently that's changed though.
@@mollydubner1234 Do you know the name of this voice teacher? I’m interested in the casting history of Les Miserables and I’m really curious.
Hi - love your videos !! could you possibly do a Miss Saigon one of 'You will not touch him' ??
Thank you for this!
Rebecca Caine's my favorite, she just makes Cosette much more lovable.
Sierra boggess played cosette beautifully. There are recordings on YT
Shout out to Nina Negri in this. She sounded wonderful
1)To be fair, Amanda Seyfried was in the movie not singing on a stage. The only thing I did like about the film is how it brought Cosette to the forefront as she had been in the original staging in 1985-2000. 2)After this time period, I saw how her songs were edited more & more. I saw it the last time in 2006. 3)I reveal the following performers first whom I saw on stage: 1st replacement for Judy Kuhn. (March, 1988) Tracy Shayne: I have never heard such a tiny amplified voice in my entire life. Marius/Eponine normal musical theater sized voices. I will say she had no problem hitting the high notes at all. BIG disappointment in an otherwise wonderful production. 2nd: Stephanie Waters: Only interesting thing about her is when she forgot one of her lyrics. She phoned in her performance each time. You could tell she was extremely tired of doing the role. 3rd: Theresa Borg: Felt sorry for her. Understudy should have gone on. Her voice was in shreds. She is shown elsewhere on YT where you hear how lovely she actually sings. 4th: Regan Thiel: 1st time in my life I saw Cosette in a blond wig. Had an enormous voice. Her vibrato was as out of control here as when I saw her in 2000. Last time I would see all of Cosette’s lyrics with none of the editing. First act she goes flat on the “all”, second act same thing. When I saw her, 2nd act, she went so sharp on “all” I thought the chandelier would start to crack. Favorites from what you listed:Claudia Cota, Claire Marie Holl, Myriam Brousseau,Judy Kuhn,Talia del Val,Martina Dorak,Morenike Fadayomi,Annalene Beechey,Dorcas Leung, Silvia Luchetti,Sierra Boggess
would you ever consider gifting that 1993 audio of Nicky adams? i have been looking for it everywhere, and have not been able to find it.
Hey I don’t know if you still make these kind of videos anymore but if you still do, can you make a Les Mis comparison for javert‘ slime “I warned you I would not give in. I won’t be swayed” when he meets JVJ in the sewer before the suicide?
Katie Hall
My vote is leanne dobinson
where did you get these recordings?
OMG where did you find footage for the Dallas one?? Ive been looking for that one for ages!!
Nicky Adams for me.
where did you find the one with zoe doano?
Sorry folks! That's not me ;)
i don’t get why everyone hates amanda’s version of les miz “she’s nervous” baring in mind they sung the songs live for this i personally think she’s the best cosette even though many may be better the way she portrays her is what matters to me
ALEX FINKE, SAM HILL AND KATIE HALL!!!!
Amanda Seyfreid killed it! more important, is the feeling, not the operatic over vibrato of most of the others
Idara Victor but as a fan I may be a bit biased and I don't really like the song
Helen, Lisa Anne wood, Lauren don suit Cosette
Amanda seyfried was the best
What is the point of publishing such terrible quality recordings.
It’s a resource for people who wanna study the character
