She was the reason why Beauty and The Beast stayed on Broadway after 2003. They were considering closing but they went for a younger and known Disney star to reboot it and she did a wonderful job!! This isn't her best but i saw her on bway and she was phenomenal!
Last year, she opened up about how challenging it was to be the lead in a Broadway show at only 19 years of age and she was being highly criticized for her youth. While she was living in New York, she was spending a lot of her time drinking at nightclubs and other stuff like that outside of her job. She had already gone through some difficult times during her late teen years. All of these problems lead to her having depression and doing self-harm. Thankfully, she got better and doesn't drink at all anymore.
I can totally see her voicing a Disney Princess in a Disney Animation Princess Movie. She’s got the chops for it! I’m getting Rapunzel vibes when I hear her sing. She definitely would have been able to pull that off beautifully!
I remember watching her at Broadway's Beauty and the Beast in 8th grade. I thought her performance was amazing in her Belle outfit. But that was 15 years ago, at my first Broadway show. I was also hyped about seeing a star from Even Steven. haha I'm so lame.
The show wasn't doing too hot at this point, so they did the classic last ditch effort of putting popular culture stars in broadway roles. Sometimes it works very wel- Anneliese Van Der Pol was BRILLIANT as Belle, Keke Palmer was kickass in Cinderella. Even Vanessa Hudgens was a good Gigi, improving her voice after the whole Rent thing. Sometimes it super doesn't work, such as this home girl as Belle and Carley Rae Jepson as Cinderella.
Like I said in other replies, playing the lead in a show like this at only 19 years of age was very challenging for her and people were highly criticizing her because of her youth. She opened up about it last year. Prior to getting this part, she had already gone through depression. Because of that and all of the work she was doing in the show, she would drink at nightclubs and do self-harm in her apartment. She thankfully got better after getting some help.
She seems like a truly kind person. The kind that stardom likes to rip to shreds. She has a YT channel where she’s very transparent about her career. She definitely has the voice for the role.
Except she was already in Broadway years before this role, and before her role in Disney. What people don't realize is that most actors and actresses start out in music and theatre. It kind of ties together. Most people that don't make record deals or want to stay in Broadway usually go into acting.
Dylan Harris jeez what type of vocal class are you taking? Lifting your chin like that causes strain and is a sign of unhealthy singing and lack of technique.
Her word sounds a lot higher here than it naturally is. Her diction is weird here, too. It makes her sound really young. Was she sick? I'd be willing to bet she was.
Does anyone know what key she sings this in? She seems lower then some of the other Belles and it gives me hope that one day I can be Belle in a local theater production.
I think she did pretty well overall, it's a hard song to sing for sure. That being said, I too covered it, and would really appreciate anyone giving mine a watch! :)
I can definitely see her singing The Wizard and I, Defying Gravity, and No Good Deed she'll be a perfect Elphaba (this is my opinion so don't put any negative comments or give me thumbs down)
For the same reason they put Nick Jonas in the Les Miserables 25th Anniversary concert. Both are fine singers...until you have them on the same stage as seasoned theater performers. Then you realize how hollow they sound.
She was given the role because of her name. I saw her perform the role and she was nothing special, especially compared to Susan Egan and Anneliese van der Pol.
Last year, she opened up about how challenging it was to do this show at only 19 years of age and she was being criticized for her youth. She had already gone through some depression during her late teenage years and she was actually drinking at nightclubs quite a bit while she was living in New York. The pain she was going through inside caused her to do self-harm. She thankfully got better afterward.
Her voice is definitely not average but it definitely could have improved from this performance. The ending fell flat and her vibrato almost made her lose her pitch at times but overall this is one of the better versions I've heard of this song.

She was also 19, damaging her beautiful voice, and still sounds great here!

Kim Possible is a damn Disney princess!
She was terrific on Broadway, better than she is here.
The first broadway show I ever saw was Christy Carlson Romano in Beauty and The Beast
I wish I could of seen her on Broadway!!!! She was my favorite Disney channel star back in the day.
Same here!
I can't listen this without thinking it's Kim Possible! She really can do anything!
So inspiring
My parents took 8-year-old me to see my first Broadway show solely because she was Belle.
So beautiful

Go girlllll 💗💖💗
Sound like Kim possible singing
All I hear is Kim Possible
Really, I hear Ren yelling at Louis.

I saw the show the third time with her as belle amahzing
Christy Carlson Romano A Changers in Me Broadway on Broadway
Her voice sounds like a little kid, I was expecting a much bigger voice based on her speaking voice
This video sounds pitched up to avoid copyright
Love it 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Amazing dinger

she really looks like a real life Belle though

People LOVED her at this time thigh. She was a huge Disney star

gurlfriend is gonna blow her vocal folds singing with her chin in the air like that on the high notes.
Michael Ireland tilting your head is actually a good way for extra power. Take a class!
You don’t know anything.
Dylan Harris jeez what type of vocal class are you taking? Lifting your chin like that causes strain and is a sign of unhealthy singing and lack of technique.
CHRISTY! marry me!
Her word sounds a lot higher here than it naturally is. Her diction is weird here, too. It makes her sound really young. Was she sick? I'd be willing to bet she was.
Does anyone know what key she sings this in? She seems lower then some of the other Belles and it gives me hope that one day I can be Belle in a local theater production.
I think it's the same as everyone else because it goes up a key halfway through the song.
I think she did pretty well overall, it's a hard song to sing for sure. That being said, I too covered it, and would really appreciate anyone giving mine a watch! :)
@ScottChilds24 ahh... so I see!! (:
did u dub tha song it looks off n it doesn't sound live
Wayne Brady has not aged
Annaliese Van der Pol was better! lol but it did sound like Christy was struggling a bit there.
@omglolwhatever Don't forget nasally.
I think its just her stage 'character' voice. Sounds good!
I can definitely see her singing The Wizard and I, Defying Gravity, and No Good Deed she'll be a perfect Elphaba (this is my opinion so don't put any negative comments or give me thumbs down)
Singer
her voice is fantastic. she has to be sick during this performance.
This song was never in the movie
It was written for the musical, specifically for Toni Braxton back when she joined the cast in 1998.
@@rebekahsegun8319 oh ok
Lip sync?
The video is a bit out of sync.
lmao why did they put her on broadway
For the same reason they put Nick Jonas in the Les Miserables 25th Anniversary concert. Both are fine singers...until you have them on the same stage as seasoned theater performers. Then you realize how hollow they sound.
You know, she actually started on Broadway, so SHUT UP!
She had been on Broadway before this. She was in Parade (criminally underrated musical) when she was like 13
Far too nasaled for my liking.
thats how ALL Broadway singers sound lol
@@pokemontas8025 You’re telling me Audra McDonald sounds nasaled? Or Renee Elise Goldsberry? Or Phillipa Soo? Cynthia Erivo? Sutton Foster? Barrett Wilbert Weed? Patti LuPone?
Her with an average voice makes me believe I can be on Broadway too :)
Susan Egan was the beast!
Lip sync
She was given the role because of her name. I saw her perform the role and she was nothing special, especially compared to Susan Egan and Anneliese van der Pol.
I’m here to see all the Kim possible references
Oh my...not good...
Her floppy vibrato gets on my nerves.
I always thought she sang through her nose...but now I think it even more. She really isn't that great of a singer :S
I love her, but you gotta admit her voice is average.

meh
I could do better
I wish she would stop trying to sing.
Johnny Boy troll
She was an awful Belle, horrible, strained, off key singing and poor acting chops. She's been a lot better in other stuff she's done though.
