    Sierra has one of, if not the most stunning voice I have ever heard in all my life. The depth and emotion she portrays through body language, facial acting and vocal talent is more than I could ever dream of. ♥🌹

    I do love how both actresses were able to convey emotion WITHOUT crying and therefore destroying their singing. Got chills. Beautiful talented women❤❤❤

    Such vastly different songs. One has Fantine lamenting the hard life she has now vs the life she thought she would have. The other has Christine mourning her beloved father. As a daughter who misses her own wonderful dad terribly, Wishing will forever hit on a different level that I Dreamed a Dream. Plus, Sierra is such a stunningly talented singer and actress!!

      Well, technically Webbers ‘Phantom of the Opera’ is actually a Musical, not an Opera. The STORY is set in an Opera House, the CHARACTERS of Christine and Carlotta are Opera Singers, but the Show itself is a Musical for a number of reasons.

    💞you can't compare, both things are so beautiful you'll cry and both ladies can sing really fantastically, but with different songs a comparison is not possible at all and the themes behind them are completely different. I love both musicals and both songs very much, even though I can sing along to every note, these songs are always an incredible event.... 🩷🩷🩷

    Ann Hathaway did a really good job in the film. Live singers are obviously really talented but when we get them in close up the actors who can sing seem to stand out. No one beats Sierra. Beauty and voice. Perfection!

      I agree. somehow I thought the first singer was a bit too dramatic, extending her notes at the end of every line way too long.

    • @IXScasualty
      @IXScasualty Před 2 měsíci +5

      @@sunsioux444Generally the way “I Dreamed a Dream” is sung nowadays gets me disappointed. This might be a hot take, but I really like Anne Hathaway, who is raw and emotional, but not dramatic. Also “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again” is just much more powerful, especially with Sierra singing.

  • @smooth395

    The song itself or these particular performances? Performance: Sierra no contest (ETA: one thing that takes away is the dead pixels on the grave). Song: I'm still salty about my score in Solo-Ensemble freshman year on "Wishing..." but I've heard it and seen it performed live far more times than "I Dreamed a Dream" and they are both beautiful songs. I'll have to go "Wishing..." because of the emotions the actors have portrayed in the varying productions I've watched and seen. Shout out to Lea Salonga in the 25th production as Fantine after playing Eponine with a great "On My Own" in the 10th anniversary!

    I give the nod to "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" (despite a couple of too-high notes); although technically "I Dreamed A Dream" was flawless in voice and quality, I didn't get the same pang in my throat and gut as "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again".

  • @sunflower-xi5ct
    @sunflower-xi5ct Před 5 dny

    If it’s who gave the better performance here aka Singing and Acting ability…then it’s Sierra, hands down no question!
    If it’s between the songs themselves, I think ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ is actually the more heartbreaking song in the context of the greater story.
    I mean ‘Wishing’ is about Christine mourning the death of a parent, which is a pain that we will ALL have to face someday…but the song is very much about moving through that pain and learning how to let go, because life has to go on, one must keep living.
    I Dreamed a Dream is about Fantine saying ‘my life is over’ basically, she sees the writing on the wall of where she is headed and she’s basically giving up on her dreams and resigning herself to the fact that their is no way out of this hole for her…it’s completely heartbreaking in the show when done right.
