CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT TA’REA CAMPBELL?!?!?!? I’M NOT COMPARING ANYONE AT ALL. BUT, THIS WOMAN TOOK THE KEY EVEN HIGHER AND STILL WENT FOR THE NOTE AT THE END AND GRABBED IT SUCCESSFULLY!!!
Okay I love Heather Headley she's truly a queen.....but is nobody going to acknowledge that she was literally a whole half step sharp when she first hit the high F 😂
Michelle!!!! When you realize vocals and music you’d understand Michelle’s took the most vocal technique! She went from a big chest note to a bigger chest note on the same breath!!!! Wow! Amazing! Everyone else sang one note and held it. She sang 2 and held it going higher rather than lower! That’s very difficult. MICHELLE!!!
I think montego might be my favorite. so much power and she stayed the most in tune whilst sustaining that high note also had vibrato like she sounded healthy and hit the note and killed it.
Ok, so the 2 singers from Korea have won this contest in my ears. Great tone and technique without screaming out the last "money" note. Nearly perfect!!!
Michelle Williams' part is original and creative 🤩 1st Heather : I've seen other videos with better performance, here she was off, she's the og 🤌🏾 2nd Deborah, Montego Glover, Florence, (perfect balanced mix, chest with head) Some are too heady when hitting the high F (Heather as well) 3rd Michelle just for originality, I thought she wouldn't hit the note but hit it by the end without taking a break
whoever is 6:30 is a MESS😂 oak joo-hyun (8:11) is a close second place, she did very well! deborah cox a close third. heather hedley is best. she can hit the note, easily, with power, and length. theres a reason she won that tony.
@@JohnDoe-gk7ok I mean ya pretty much lol. It’s part of the role and if you can’t do it in its entirety then you shouldn’t do it. Especially a moment like that. It’s like if Christine in Phantom of the Opera one day decided to hit an E bellow middle C lol. That’s not the song.
@@danielbaskins6601 all the facts! It’s a compete let down unless it’s a choice when you’re tired. Heather never took it down EVER and she would struggle being sharp but she never took it down. I’m more surprised that casting would even cast girls that can’t, it’s an iconic song and other girls that can. It’s no reason in the world why the stand-by is not hitting that note. No reason! Like how did Thursday get that gig?
@@PapaLobo94the thing that stands out most to me in the audios I've heard of her in Aida is that she's so quiet compared to everyone else she's on stage with. I don't know if that's a her problem or a mixing (soundboard) problem. Second most standout is that (in the recordings I've heard), she diverges too much from the style of the show. Variation is great and nl two singers will sing it the exact same way, but you have to make your variation really mesh and not over or under sing anything.
Yeah, like SHE was the standby? Like come on…. You know good and well she wasn’t the best singer so I’ll gonna take a guess she’s a Brilliant actress cause that was not it.
9:27 was the best to me. 7:23 was a tie with 9:27 8:10 is up there along with 8:35 and 4:31 they were AMAZING 6:06 was great But 9:50 man this got me crying, it was something about the robe and the ensemble it was just moving. Vocals weren’t perfect there at the beginning but she hit the note Before y’all ask about Heather It was the off tune high note for me
I saw most all the Broadway/1NT Aidas: Felicia Boswell (regional, not on tour), Toni Braxton, Ta'Rea Campbell, Maya Days, Nikki Renee Daniels (regional, not Broadway), Anika Ellis, Thursday Farrar, Heather Headley, Paulette Ivory, Saycon Sengbloh, Simone, Schele Williams There wasn't a bad, or even sub-good one of them. Heather Headley is unequivocally my favorite, followed by Paulette Ivory. Deborah Cox was the strongest of the celebrity Aidas. Anika Ellis sounds kinda rough here but I was really blown away when I saw her.
Lol. Oh, thanks for the response. I have the DVD myself already. I was just wondering how you got it. I think we did a pretty good job with the show. Very proud of our work
If that ending note don’t effortlessly come out in my sleep and I mean the original key. Then I wouldn’t even take the gig. That would be hell on earth worrying about hitting that shit 8 shows a week. HELL!!! And it sounds awful going down.
my top 3 are the first 3 Heather, Thursday, & Merle but Toni was great too don't know why Michelle Williams was even cast she can't vocally hold a candle to any of the women in this video hell she can't hold a candle to me and I can't sing but then neither can she imo
LOL she can run circles around you! I guess you haven't read reviews for her AIDA performance in Muny. She's improved since her first broadway performance. And she has more vocal prowess than some of these women here. Just because you don't like her or her voice, doesn't mean she can't sing! You have no credibility whatsoever!
Ladylace97 You obviously need to clean out your ears because if you compare the note that is held by all the singers, Michelle sings in tune = therefore can sing! Booyah!
+JR GR that's ur opinion mine is that she can't sing her way our of a wet paper bag after Freddy Kruger slashes it nothing you say is going to make your opinion any more valid than mine nor is it going to change mine. good day
Ladylace97 Unless you objective arguments! Opinions are supposed to be subjective. To imply she can't sing is plain stupid! She can sing circles around you - that's fact! Good day indeed! Booyah!
Sonya, Joo-Hyun, Glover, Kasumba, Headley. My favorite ones anyway, no particular order.
Thank you for choosing Joo hyun~☆☆ She is actually the most famous musical actor in Korea
8:25 My favorite WOW Korean Aida
I'm surprised no one listed Felicia Boswell as their favorite 9:23
This powerhouse practically dragged some of the other Aida's.
it sounded like she broke and then went back in (9:44 - 9:46)
Jimmy Wise She affirmed her placement on the note by going higher then riffing down. To me, she was the only one who hit it seemingly effortlessly.
Felicia is definitely my favorite
CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT TA’REA CAMPBELL?!?!?!? I’M NOT COMPARING ANYONE AT ALL. BUT, THIS WOMAN TOOK THE KEY EVEN HIGHER AND STILL WENT FOR THE NOTE AT THE END AND GRABBED IT SUCCESSFULLY!!!
Okay I love Heather Headley she's truly a queen.....but is nobody going to acknowledge that she was literally a whole half step sharp when she first hit the high F 😂
EXACTLY EVERYONES SAYING SHES THE BEST BUT SHE WAS SOOO SHARP not to mention she lost the note almost entirely near the end there
Thank you.. lol! FLORENCE pick!
Michelle!!!! When you realize vocals and music you’d understand Michelle’s took the most vocal technique! She went from a big chest note to a bigger chest note on the same breath!!!! Wow! Amazing! Everyone else sang one note and held it. She sang 2 and held it going higher rather than lower! That’s very difficult. MICHELLE!!!
Vocals4days thank you THANK YOU!!!!
Florence Kasumba blows me AWAY in EVERYTHING SHE'S IN WOWWW
You said it!!
4:32 FLORENCE KASUMBA, the instrumental is perfect
Hearing this song in German is something I didn't know I NEEDED to hear 4:30
I think montego might be my favorite. so much power and she stayed the most in tune whilst sustaining that high note also had vibrato like she sounded healthy and hit the note and killed it.
sonya killed it
Ok, so the 2 singers from Korea have won this contest in my ears. Great tone and technique without screaming out the last "money" note. Nearly perfect!!!
Heather headly is queen
Can you guys do the Aida in Scheveningen and Germany
5:03 I saw Saycon as Elphaba a while ago, she has a brilliant voice!
Sonya and Felicia are my personal favorites. TALK ABOUT POWERHOUSES?? I'm surprised Brittany Wallace wasn't in this video though.
If Florence Kasumba doesn't get a solo in the Lion King Movie after hearing this, I"m going to be pissed. She's playing a hyena named Shenzi.
Toni braxton is so effortless
Michelle Williams' part is original and creative 🤩
1st Heather : I've seen other videos with better performance, here she was off, she's the og 🤌🏾
2nd Deborah, Montego Glover, Florence, (perfect balanced mix, chest with head)
Some are too heady when hitting the high F (Heather as well)
3rd Michelle just for originality, I thought she wouldn't hit the note but hit it by the end without taking a break
I LOOOVE Michelle’s she absolutely killed that and you’re right she hit that note so well
whoever is 6:30 is a MESS😂
oak joo-hyun (8:11) is a close second place, she did very well!
deborah cox a close third.
heather hedley is best.
she can hit the note, easily, with power, and length.
theres a reason she won that tony.
LuisLuxe I agree
Really? I thought she lost it on this one.. Florence was the stand out for me
I didn't realize how many woman played aida
Felicia Boswell’s was my favorite by far
AWESOME!!
I’m sorry but if you can’t hit the high F you can’t be Aida. It’s iconic and it’s such a let down when they don’t go up to it.
That's the tea....
Not necessarily
So if everything else is perfect but they can’t hit one note, they shouldn’t be playing the role? Awesome logic.
@@JohnDoe-gk7ok I mean ya pretty much lol. It’s part of the role and if you can’t do it in its entirety then you shouldn’t do it. Especially a moment like that. It’s like if Christine in Phantom of the Opera one day decided to hit an E bellow middle C lol. That’s not the song.

Did they lower the key for Toni Braxton and she still didn't go for the end note? Interesting
I think she was trying to put her own r&b mix
This isn’t the best representation of her performance. I’ve seen her show and she hit the original note like Headley.
I’m gonna flat out say it: hiring Toni Braxton for this role was a bad idea
Nick Lopez no it wasn’t

I was surprised that most of them couldn't hit that note Joao-hyun milva glover and headley kilt it though
Heather Headley, Ock Joo Hyun, and Sonya!
What about Chaira's last note?! Very clean till the very end...
dang how many productions of this show is there
I know right
Not enough :/
Montego ❤️
Why do so many people just rush and say "and if i can rekindle our ancestors dreams...
SNUFF
SNUFF
SNUUUUUUUFFFFF
a lot of them do it so they can prep for the final note
Just tagging 7:17 for Montego Glover
Felicia and Montego. End of convo
Toni Braxton ❤
Zodwa!!!! Montego!!! Sonya!!! Heather!!! Saw Sonya and Heather Live!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
YAS FELICIA!!!!
Thursday Farrar’s opera training was so misplaced there
Yeah, like SHE was the standby? Like come on…. You know good and well she wasn’t the best singer so I’ll gonna take a guess she’s a Brilliant actress cause that was not it.
9:27 was the best to me.

But 9:50 man this got me crying, it was something about the robe and the ensemble it was just moving. Vocals weren’t perfect there at the beginning but she hit the note

Can you guys find the Lion King comparison - I Just Can't Wait to Be King on this Channel
Chaira Borderslee for me tho! Her voice is so special! And it is Dutch! And I can’t wait for Gaia Aikman to sing it in 2023 production 😍😍
Deborah Cox
Tarea Cambell killed it period
What about Maya Days? She played Aida in the production with Idina Menzel.
Felicia Boswell
I'm sorry the second girl had me crying 😭
Michelle tho
Are there any more clips of Merle Dandridge?!
Toni Slays Aida
I was there. Trust me when I say, no she did not.
korea♥️
I wish you had Paulette Ivory. She was amazing!! They’re lots of video on here of her
I didn't understand what they were saying at all until Michelle Williams.
thank you you can actually hear what she's saying and it sounds amazing
My sister Georgina is her too at her school
Hey, just curious...where did you get that video of the production with Idara Victor from the Gateway Playhouse..I was in that! :)
+DeUndre James i traded for it, if you message me through my trading site hitmewithyourbethshot.tumblr.com i can give it you :)
Lol. Oh, thanks for the response. I have the DVD myself already. I was just wondering how you got it. I think we did a pretty good job with the show. Very proud of our work
I was HOLLERIN for Michelle Williams!!!
Montego.

Hard song, but so important to cut it.. Florence, Zodwa, & Sonya were my picks. Florence in a STRONG lead!
more more more
Ana milva gomes❤️
10:25
is there any live video with Toni?
Yeah Montego Glover wins this hands down LOL. She's one of the only ones who can actually get it all right on pitch and great performance
I sang behind felici she’s the real deal
Doesn't Schele Williams play Nehebka
Schele was principle Nehebka and u/s Aida when the show first opened on Broadway, she was later promoted to standby Aida
From what I've seen, it was also common practice to have your Nehebka be your Aida understudy.
Florence
Montege :0 OAK 0o0
Miss anika it’s a no for me
I’m so confused, is Aida supposed to be happy when she’s saying this?
She’s supposed to be accepting of the hard mission she’s been prepared to do so she’s just supposed to be serious
MIchelle Williams did it best
my top 3 are the first 3 Heather, Thursday, & Merle but Toni was great too don't know why Michelle Williams was even cast she can't vocally hold a candle to any of the women in this video hell she can't hold a candle to me and I can't sing but then neither can she imo
