I really don't understand why people don't like Dove here. Amanda Seyfried will always be my favorite Sophie but Dove sings this very well from a technical standpoint. She has very healthily placed belts and low notes. Her vibrato is really clear and easy. I think the reason for her making her voice a bit deeper is because she's imitating her mom. Donna has a deeper voice than Sophie so it makes sense since Sophie is reading her diary and she can't possibly imagine what her mom sounded like when she was young, only how she sounds when she's older. Either way, I think Dove did great.
I totally agree! I also think going with that faux "soul" texture cold have just been character choice and I actually really love. im auditioning for Sophie and I'm combining both Dove and Amanda for inspiration to this song. Like you said she is very technically good singer. I saw some people hating on her for singing "lawny" but she has the correct mouth position for singing the vowel sound, but people who aren't vocalists don't know that
@MakeupNerd I know. I like Dove's voice. She's not a bad singer at all, she's actually good. The thing is, her voice just doesn't suit the song. The instrumental is also not the best, it sounds like an amateur production.
I'm not even a Dove fan but she sounds exceptional in this range. She has a really nice mixed tone, perfect for musical theatre! So I don't get all the hate 😅
Dove is amazing, but Sophie always be Amanda Seyfried for me. (Sorry for my bad english, I am hungarian) Edit: Why did you like this?? I've come back to this video years later and there are almost 10 000 likes. I love you people.
She's not a bad singer at all, she's actually good. The thing is, her voice just doesn't suit the song. The instrumental is also not the best, it sounds like an amateur production.
David Caballero they had only a few days to rehearse it and the bad quality of the video and the mics make the sound totally different. To be fair you really cannot judge the voices with this quality... The song is even slower in the video and I think all the voices are darker
I really don't understand the hate on Dove. I think she did amazing in Mamma Mia! If you don't like Dove, don't watch the video. There's no need for hate and to say she's awful because she's not.
Dove did fantastic! I'm so happy she's cracking her Disney shell and moving on to big projects that will help her grow. Keep shining Dove, I'm so proud of you.❤
I think dove did good. But i will always prefer the original tbh Edit: I know the movie is not original, dove is great love her! When ever I hear the song I just think of the movie. Love all things mamma mia and abba ❤
Katie Colvin it's hard to turn down the instrumentals if they have a live band. When I was in high school we were always told to sing loud because they can't turn down the band. Might be the case here
Can people stop comparing her to Amanda? She had to sing this live while moving on stage but Amanda’s version was recorded in a studio and probably altered so we can’t compare them
Amanda has done live singing before. she's just better than Dove in everyway. people notice the acting, the voice and all that Dove is not right for this role.
I don't even know this girl but I can tell when people are hating for no damn reason. She and Amanda are two completely different people and to put them against each other just for different renditions of a song and acting is ridiculously petty. Guys stop being childish because even Mama Mia the film was somewhat cringy in certain aspects. This girl has no control over this. They tell her how they want it sang and how they want it her to portray the character. Stop being childish and wake up to real world The reality is that they wouldn't have picked her if she were that bad. Same with every other actor and actress.
Dove as Sophie done an amazing job, her pitch and acting is spot on. She really knows the Mamma Mia movie for sure. Thanks for sharing the vids, Tiana, this gives us all a chance to see these epic videos.... sensational acting and a lot of fun.

I mean they might choose a more known actress to attract an audience by putting the famous actresses name over the production especially with her in the lead. But I also dont think Dove did a bad job here? And besides, as it is with every play, the way you express the script is always up to your imagination. I have seen so so many different plays of Waiting for Godot and every one of them was different to the other despite following the exact same script
Agreed this is theater it’s not like someone can be in the SAME role for yrs and dove is a good singer it’s just not the singer they all expect (Amanda)
dove is hardly ever hated on, she is one of the best singers in this decade ngl, but this song didnt do her talent justice + amanda cannot be beaten as sophie :) i say all that while being a very hardcore dove fan aha
Also it is probably easier to be better when everything is pre-recorded like it is for a movie, Dove is singing live so it can not be smoothed out like you could with a recording
Speaking technically, Dove is a little flat here and she sings extremely forward into her nose, and nasal resonance doesn’t carry over a band well at all. Which isn’t her fault, because for some reason modern voice teachers now say that singing into your nasal cavity resonates well, but all of the old most famous opera singers in the world (Caruso) were extremely against it. This is why you can’t hear any of the singers. Either way I still think she’s amazing and wonderfully talented, she’s not going to be perfect, no one is! People are so hard on her as if they could do better.
Abby Devonne It’s not a matter of whether she tried her best or not, it’s a matter if she played Sophie well or not, and she didn’t. She has an amazing voice and has been great in many things, this is just not one of them.
Everyone's giving hate saying her voice is cringe and she's making it deeper (acting ppl) and obviously you are going to like the original more it's the original 😂 love you dove you did great xx
I think her voice is awesome, but the whole thing looked like an amateur performance. It doesn’t really help her voice sound good. She’s not Amanda. It doesn’t matter if you guys think so or not, you can’t give someone a shot if you just keep comparing them to someone else
Dove was just the perfect person to play this roll. I love her. Wow she went from tv shows with Liv and Maddie and Mal to BROADWAY! That’s just amazing!
I love dove’s voice and I think she plays Sophie well, but I think it looks more like a high school production than a professional one, based on the instrumentals at least
Her technique is awful lol. She is closing off her throat and ruining her breath control which is giving her that weird "singing lower than I can" sound. I think she's trying to be sultry but hoo boy does it flop.
Much better singer than I thought from watching her Disney stuff. She has a much bigger range and is a more expressive actor in this. Yes to people who like the original I get it. But she did great. This was a live version and her voice is different. So while it might not be as high as the original. It works for her. Plus unlike the movie she doesn’t get editing.
also she lives on the island so knows what’s comfortable, whereas her two friends are just visiting for the first time so that’s probably why they’ve got heels onnn :)
I just feel like many people should understand that movie acting is very different from the theatre acting and comparing Amanda and Dove isn’t exactly the best idea...
This is amazing! I love the acting dancing and singing. Definitly a different Sophie then Amanda Seyfried played, but I like both equally. Just Amanda is who I allways Remember as Sophie, because I watched the movie when I was a teen, so nostalgic. Wish I could have seen this play life.
Dove is amazing in this! And if she was pregnant in the musical omg that would be so cool to watch! I love her so much and she is my fave celeb, but lots of people are hating on her because she is trying to sing slightly lower. Her voice is naturally pretty high, like mine, but she is just trying to sing the part like it is supposed to be sung. The directors would not have chosen her if she were horrible in the first place. And she wouldn't have received a Daytime Emmy Award either in April of 2018. Everybody leave her alone. Unless you have done this exact musical and were given the same lines, dance moves and songs, then you should NOT be comparing her to Amanda and certainly not judging this beauty. She is an amazing actress and I don't care what people say negatively about her otherwise. Just face it, she's amazing.
I love Amanda as Sophie as well however Dove also did an amazing job. Plus you can not compare a movie to a live production. In movies they lip sing to a prerecorded sound track and well live is live they have to sing and dance without sounding out of breath.
the movie and the actual on stage musical have very different feels to them and i prefer the movie with amanda seyfried as sophie so i was definitely expecting this to be a little different than what i’m used to
Dove Cameron is my favorite female singer of all time. I just love her voice. It's so pretty and strong. She is also my favorite actress of all time. 😍😍😍😍 😁😁😁😁😁

In have adirty mind i read vibrator
SAME
I think the main problem is her voice is too high pitched for the song. And her acting on this is pretty ok
@MakeupNerd I know. I like Dove's voice. She's not a bad singer at all, she's actually good. The thing is, her voice just doesn't suit the song. The instrumental is also not the best, it sounds like an amateur production.
Nobody is commenting that everyone in this musical has exactly 2 friends
E
Plot twist. The musical is actually just about multiple throuples
I think about this a lot lol
I'm not even a Dove fan but she sounds exceptional in this range. She has a really nice mixed tone, perfect for musical theatre! So I don't get all the hate 😅
Ashley N I agree!!!
Ashley N 300th like
Dove is amazing, but Sophie always be Amanda Seyfried for me. (Sorry for my bad english, I am hungarian)
Edit: Why did you like this?? I've come back to this video years later and there are almost 10 000 likes. I love you people.
Your English is great! :D
Lucy Henig Thanks 😂😂😇😚
Seyfried hahahah
I agree
Panna Molnár you have better English than most of the Americans I know, and the comment section.
Contrary to 99.9% of the comments I actually love Dove's voice in this number
After all the *stage* versions I've seen of Mamma Mia, Dove Cameron *embodies* Sophie! She's perfect for it
She has an amazing voice!
SlimeDiamond Amanda's version is a lot better
SlimeDiamond this bitch cant sing
like you could do better
Marcel Banzhaf stop wasting your time hating on Dove/Chloe she did a great job just stop hating on her
Little miss Ravenpuff 8000 Thank you. She’s just so amazing! I love her.
She's not a bad singer at all, she's actually good. The thing is, her voice just doesn't suit the song. The instrumental is also not the best, it sounds like an amateur production.

In my opinion Dove is quite one the best singers of the decade
She's over pronunciating which is fine for some songs but doesn't sound right for this one
i agree. she didn't quite fit the song. and of course the music will be off since it's not abba playing it. abba played for mamma mia
I agree, this song just isn't her song
no offense to the actors, but the choreography and the set is high school level, not hollywood bowl
Maggy Jenkins I agree.
And the lighting
WRONG! This is Hollywood bowl level. You ppl just haven’t seen enough live musicals
If my set looked like that in high school I’d scream
My high school could do better
I really don't understand the hate on Dove. I think she did amazing in Mamma Mia! If you don't like Dove, don't watch the video. There's no need for hate and to say she's awful because she's not.
Dance Moms And Broadway thank god someone that actually agrees with me, Dove did amazing #stopthehate
Periodt
your right. Dove is one of the most talented people I've ever seen. She can do anything she wants. She is amazing
Idk why people are hating on dove. She has an AMAZING voice and doesn't deserve this hate AT ALL.
Dove did fantastic! I'm so happy she's cracking her Disney shell and moving on to big projects that will help her grow. Keep shining Dove, I'm so proud of you.❤
I think dove did good. But i will always prefer the original tbh
Edit: I know the movie is not original, dove is great love her! When ever I hear the song I just think of the movie. Love all things mamma mia and abba ❤
Abigaill Rodriguez me too
Same
I’m a Wabuudist abba
Abigaill Rodriguez You know the movie isn't the original, right?
Abigaill Rodriguez ikr like for potato chips, I always prefer the original too
Wow, Dove was great! Impressed!
Fairy Kat yeah she was don't see why so many people are hating on her
WHY IS THE INSTRUMENTAL SO LOUD
Katie Colvin it's hard to turn down the instrumentals if they have a live band.
When I was in high school we were always told to sing loud because they can't turn down the band.
Might be the case here
It’s just a bad recording. From the audience, it sounded normal.
The fix to this is turn up the mikes on
Her vocals are beautiful but I wish her acting/energy was more consistent
she DOES Lauren
are u saying Amanda a BETTER Sophie
she BETTER AS Liv Maddie and Mal
Yeah she be talking way too fast too! She’s used to the TV acting
Tem que levar em consideração que eles tiveram apenas 10 dias para ensaiar
Can people stop comparing her to Amanda? She had to sing this live while moving on stage but Amanda’s version was recorded in a studio and probably altered so we can’t compare them
Amanda has done live singing before. she's just better than Dove in everyway. people notice the acting, the voice and all that Dove is not right for this role.
Well Amanda played Cosette LIVE from Les Miserables on Oscar stage before so...
Kanade Lapis stop hating on her she worked her hardest, she doesn't deserve the hate
I don't even know this girl but I can tell when people are hating for no damn reason.

You are right
Looks like a school production...
Mir Egal tbh I'd love to be in a school production that looked like that
Mir Egal q
We did a production of mamma Mia and our Sophie sounded better and more like Sophie than dove does
Exactly bahahajh
It really does
I just love dove Cameron’s voice!!!!!
Dove as Sophie done an amazing job, her pitch and acting is spot on. She really knows the Mamma Mia movie for sure. Thanks for sharing the vids, Tiana, this gives us all a chance to see these epic videos.... sensational acting and a lot of fun.
Dove did a really great job on this. Having in mind the pressure she must felt by everyone obviously comparing

👏🏻
Dove Cameron (the girl) is actually a famous actress, she acted in Disney series Liv and Maddie and Disney movies Descendants, Descendants 2.
I mean they might choose a more known actress to attract an audience by putting the famous actresses name over the production especially with her in the lead. But I also dont think Dove did a bad job here? And besides, as it is with every play, the way you express the script is always up to your imagination.

Dove is beautiful, her voice is amazing and I love her. 😍😍😍
Tetty Cooper me tooooooo
Why does everyone hate this!? Dove is amazing, she worked really hard for this and even though she is not the best, she will continue getting better
Also it is probably easier to be better when everything is pre-recorded like it is for a movie, Dove is singing live so it can not be smoothed out like you could with a recording
In her defense. You only have three days ish to rehearse and figure out what is going on. Hollywood bowl musicals are no joke. It's crazy hard.
Speaking technically, Dove is a little flat here and she sings extremely forward into her nose, and nasal resonance doesn’t carry over a band well at all. Which isn’t her fault, because for some reason modern voice teachers now say that singing into your nasal cavity resonates well, but all of the old most famous opera singers in the world (Caruso) were extremely against it. This is why you can’t hear any of the singers. Either way I still think she’s amazing and wonderfully talented, she’s not going to be perfect, no one is! People are so hard on her as if they could do better.
The overall production is something you would see in our high school thespian festivals...
Abby Devonne It’s not a matter of whether she tried her best or not, it’s a matter if she played Sophie well or not, and she didn’t. She has an amazing voice and has been great in many things, this is just not one of them.
I actually love Dove's voice
Happy gal u know Dove have lots of song from disney ahow
From descadants.. and Liv and Maddie
Same!💕
Most of the 16 comments is hate on dove but personally I think dove was so good mabye not as good as other Sophie's in the past but she was still ok
Aaron :D I am obsessed with dove I think she did a brilliant job, tho she won't replace Amanda in our hearts
A Little Something For Every Fur you know what I watched mama Mia the other day and realised how much Amanda and dove perform their roles similarly
Everyone's giving hate saying her voice is cringe and she's making it deeper (acting ppl) and obviously you are going to like the original more it's the original 😂 love you dove you did great xx
the movie isn't the original...
I think her voice is awesome, but the whole thing looked like an amateur performance. It doesn’t really help her voice sound good. She’s not Amanda. It doesn’t matter if you guys think so or not, you can’t give someone a shot if you just keep comparing them to someone else
Jazlyn Syvret Most Hollywood Bowl musicals are
They can makes part 3
Amanda was the best Sophie ❣️
totally
she was but the best sophie for me is demy from Greece!!
To be fair, Amanda was in a movie and Dove is doing this live.
+Alonna Gilmore and demy is doing this live so? I went in November and I'm speechless
I don't care, Amanda's voice and acting makes Sophie more sweet and real.
Dove does this so good wow! 💛 she remindes me of the first movie like legit feels like the first movie watching it
I could listen to dove sing all day
Dove was just the perfect person to play this roll. I love her. Wow she went from tv shows with Liv and Maddie and Mal to BROADWAY! That’s just amazing!
I love dove so much!!!!!!
I love dove’s voice and I think she plays Sophie well, but I think it looks more like a high school production than a professional one, based on the instrumentals at least
omg thank you for this, it blessed my life. I've been waiting for good videos of this production since it happened
She’s too beautiful and amazing 😍😍😭
Dove is so talented. In both acting and singing.
she has a very good technique props to her for singing live and moving it’s very difficult
Her technique is awful lol. She is closing off her throat and ruining her breath control which is giving her that weird "singing lower than I can" sound. I think she's trying to be sultry but hoo boy does it flop.
Much better singer than I thought from watching her Disney stuff.
She has a much bigger range and is a more expressive actor in this.
Yes to people who like the original I get it.
But she did great.
This was a live version and her voice is different. So while it might not be as high as the original. It works for her.
Plus unlike the movie she doesn’t get editing.
I absolutely adore Dove.
The track isn’t doing the girls well, dove sounds fine in my opinion
Joey: "DIGGIE"
CRowd: SHSHSHSHSHSH
Two of my favorite of my favorite things put in one! Dove Cameron and the musical MAMMA MIA!
Dove is Incredible her voice is so beautiful and original,this character is perfect for her
"your pregnant"
**people laugh**
"no"
"oh"
love this
Dove did good I love her
Dove is absolutely amazing!!! Xxx 😍🥰
Everyone is saying it's bad but it's not? Part of acting is changing and moving your range. She belting a biiiit and it s good. So yeah.
so unfair for that one girl who has to wear heels and her two co-actors are in flats lol
Sam Asher she might have requested it cause some people have ankle problems and small heels really help. I am one of them so I can attest.
It's most likely because the character Sophie is meant to be shorter than her two friends.
Also they look like character shoes which are very comfortable to perform in (for me at least), I prefer acting in characters to anything else tbh
also she lives on the island so knows what’s comfortable, whereas her two friends are just visiting for the first time so that’s probably why they’ve got heels onnn :)
They’re all so pretty🥺
Seen the musical around the world 52 times.❤️
Dove Cameron is a queen
she is so great she should play elle woods some day!!! shes a very good actress and fits the role very well
Dove is so beautiful and a great dancer💖
Her voice is gorgeous!
dove is so damn cute and perfect for thus role
her acting😫
She is perfect
I love Dove so much😍
I just feel like many people should understand that movie acting is very different from the theatre acting and comparing Amanda and Dove isn’t exactly the best idea...
People: this feels like a school performance
Me: how the fuck does your school have enough for sets like *that*
Mine definitely doesn’t
You dove and Charlotte was so good in this!! Ahhh!!
Dove baby I'm proud 😍❣️❣️
Love u Dove ❤
I like her voice in this more than Disney shows
I love this
She is lovely
I like doves voice !!!
Don’t know who this girl is, but is a good singer. Genuinely good.
I am in love with this. I want a movie with this❤️
honesty i love dove so much but to me no one can be as good as amanda
Ilove you Dove ❤❤❤
Love this 😍
This is amazing! I love the acting dancing and singing.
Definitly a different Sophie then Amanda Seyfried played, but I like both equally. Just Amanda is who I allways Remember as Sophie, because I watched the movie when I was a teen, so nostalgic.
Wish I could have seen this play life.
Dove is a true idol and she’s the best!
YAY DOVE CAMERON
DOVE
Dove playing on my favorite musical yesssss
Dove is so amazingly beautiful and I love her so much
There was a mama Mia 2 trailer before this!
Dove is amazing in this! And if she was pregnant in the musical omg that would be so cool to watch! I love her so much and she is my fave celeb, but lots of people are hating on her because she is trying to sing slightly lower. Her voice is naturally pretty high, like mine, but she is just trying to sing the part like it is supposed to be sung. The directors would not have chosen her if she were horrible in the first place.

She is an amazing actress and I don't care what people say negatively about her otherwise. Just face it, she's amazing.
I love dove omg😍😍😍
Her voice is angelic
Dove: we did this production in just a few days.
Ten year old me: hold my root beer
I love Amanda as Sophie as well however Dove also did an amazing job. Plus you can not compare a movie to a live production. In movies they lip sing to a prerecorded sound track and well live is live they have to sing and dance without sounding out of breath.
Dove is amazing i hope to be in a broadway musical like this
Excellent!
the movie and the actual on stage musical have very different feels to them and i prefer the movie with amanda seyfried as sophie so i was definitely expecting this to be a little different than what i’m used to
Will you please post more videos from mamma Mia!!!!❤️❤️
The little blond girl who plays the main character is beautiful and adorable. She did a great job
Dove Cameron MARAVILHOSAAA! LINDA E PERFEITA!
People say the person in the movie sings better when news flash the movie auto tuned it and Chloe’s/ doves isn’t
Meh not really. Amanda sang in les misérables live and her voice was amazing. better than Dove. Amanda is just better than Dove in every way
Kanade Lapis IM DONE WITH SEEING YOU GOING AND HATING ON DOVE IN EVERY COMMENT YOU POST STOP IT!
Kanade Lapis oh and btw I reported your comment sorry not sorry
But dove sing good it the acting that’s better for me

Dove has always been amazing
I know Dove Cameron is blond as Sophie, but her hair isn’t “sun kissed”...

Dove was amazing in this ❤️
I love her babydoll face and voice shes was casted for the Perfect role in this
