ok ive listened to all the other versions and i have to say your rendition just injects SUCH personality and you actually act like an acting student going thru all the emotions: peppy & optimistic, then exasperated, and then manically freed by the "THIS MAN IS NOTHING!!" section. it's SO amazing
You are incredible. It's one thing to have amazing control and a jaw dropping-ly beautiful voice -- but I feel like the way you express emotion/embody the character *while* you sing is the true marker of how immensely talented you are. Looking forward to the day all of your videos go viral because you're a giant broadway star!!
Just played Diana in my school show and came across this videos while watching a bunch of chorus line videos and this was absolutely amazing!! You would make an INCREDIBLE Diana omg
You're amazing, and I know this is three years old. Just wonder if you try to experiment with holding longer before moving to the vibrato. Your voice is certainly strong enough to do that.
Every day for a week we would try to Feel the motion, Feel the motion Down the hill Every day for a week we would try to Hear the wind rush, Hear the wind rush Feel the chill So I dug right down to the bottom of my soul To see what I had inside Yes, I dug right down to the bottom of my soul And I tried, I tried And everybody is going whoosh, whoosh I feel the snow, I feel the cold, I feel the air And Mr. Karp turns to me and he says "Okay, Morales, what did you feel?" And I said "Nothing, I'm feeling nothing" And he says "Nothing could get a girl transferred" They all felt something But I felt nothing Except the feeling That this nonsense was absurd So I said to myself "Dont worry about it, it's only the first week" Maybe it's genetic They don't have bobsleds in San Juan" Second week, more advanced And we had to be a table Be a sports car Ice cream cone Mr. Karp, he would say "Very good, except Morales Try Morales, All alone" So I dug right down to the bottom of my soul To see how an ice cream felt Yes, I dug right down to the bottom of my soul And I tried to melt And the kids yelled, "Nothing" They called me, "Nothing" And Karp allowed it Which really makes me burn They were so helpful They called me hopeless Until I really didn't know Where else to turn And Mr Karp comes up to me and he says "You know what, Morales? I think you should transfer to Girls High You'll never be an actress, never" Jesus Christ Went to church, praying "Santa Maria, send me guidance Send me guidance" On my knees Went to church, praying "Santa Maria, help me feel it Help me feel it, pretty please" And a voice from down at the bottom of my soul Came up to the top of my head And the voice from down at the bottom of my soul Here is what it said This man is nothing This course is nothing If you want something Go find a better class And when you find one You'll be an actress And I assure you that's what Finally came to pass Six months later I heard that Karp had died And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul And cried 'Cause I felt nothing
I love how he added some backstory for the characters that actually kinda helped west side story make more sense… Id love to see something similar for a chorus line, it’d be so good!
The way you sang “transferred” PERFECT PLACEMENT you’re phenomenal 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why doesn’t this have more attention? It’s simply perfect, one of my favorite interpretations of her.
The way I come back to watch this weekly

I can’t be the first one here post WSS 2021! Looking forward to following the continued work of this stratospherically talented young woman :)
Ready to see you on Broadway😍😍
She's skipping the stage and going directly to the silver screen!
@@owenlock2372 this aged so well
@@sarinamaloy I'm pretty sure they had already announced her on WSS when this was commented
@@adami6187 three years ago, no.
I come back to this video so often. favourite performance of this song ever honestly
Really lovely voice and interpretation.
Just played Diana in my school show and came across this videos while watching a bunch of chorus line videos and this was absolutely amazing!! You would make an INCREDIBLE Diana omg
You are literally a queen gifted from the heavens
Nice job! I’m playing this role right now and it is such a blast!!
Watching this in 2022 is very nice. Also it's about time they make a new chorus line movie...
You're so talented, never give up because one day you're gonna be famous or on broadway or something amazing ily x
I've been watching this for weeks and it's still amazing
i'm so obsessed with this video, i've rewatched it so many times over the past couple years since i found it. you're one of my favourite singers ever
Wow this was actually perfect
She would make a great Trina in falsettos
Can’t wait to see West Side Story! Best of luck!
THAT was an extraordinary performance. You have an excellent voice.
This so awesome! My voice teacher assigned me to this song.
Favorite version ever just found now!!!
How does one person have so much talent
That was amazing! Priscilla Lopez would be very proud of you....musical theatre is in your future young lady...break a leg!❤
Man Rest In Peace Karp but I felt this you felt..
THIS IS INCREDIBLE
here before this absolutely blows up in a little bitt
if you're not on broadway one day i swear to god
perfection
You're amazing, and I know this is three years old. Just wonder if you try to experiment with holding longer before moving to the vibrato. Your voice is certainly strong enough to do that.
Every day for a week we would try to
Feel the motion,
Feel the motion
Down the hill
Every day for a week we would try to
Hear the wind rush,
Hear the wind rush
Feel the chill
So I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
To see what I had inside
Yes, I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
And I tried, I tried
And everybody is going whoosh, whoosh
I feel the snow, I feel the cold, I feel the air
And Mr. Karp turns to me and he says
"Okay, Morales, what did you feel?"
And I said
"Nothing, I'm feeling nothing"
And he says
"Nothing could get a girl transferred"
They all felt something
But I felt nothing
Except the feeling
That this nonsense was absurd
So I said to myself
"Dont worry about it, it's only the first week"
Maybe it's genetic
They don't have bobsleds in San Juan"
Second week, more advanced
And we had to be a table
Be a sports car
Ice cream cone
Mr. Karp, he would say
"Very good, except Morales
Try Morales,
All alone"
So I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
To see how an ice cream felt
Yes, I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
And I tried to melt
And the kids yelled, "Nothing"
They called me, "Nothing"
And Karp allowed it
Which really makes me burn
They were so helpful
They called me hopeless
Until I really didn't know
Where else to turn
And Mr Karp comes up to me and he says
"You know what, Morales? I think you should transfer to Girls High
You'll never be an actress, never"
Jesus Christ
Went to church, praying
"Santa Maria, send me guidance
Send me guidance" On my knees
Went to church, praying
"Santa Maria, help me feel it
Help me feel it, pretty please"
And a voice from down at the bottom of my soul
Came up to the top of my head
And the voice from down at the bottom of my soul
Here is what it said
This man is nothing
This course is nothing
If you want something
Go find a better class
And when you find one
You'll be an actress
And I assure you that's what
Finally came to pass
Six months later I heard that Karp had died
And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
And cried
'Cause I felt nothing
Nice singing😊👌🏼👌🏼
i love this
omg can you teach me to sing !!! please !!!
THIS WAS AMAZINGGGG
you're so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like a miniature Sutton Foster
I love Diana but if I was in Chorus line I would kill to play Val
Spielberg would do an amazing adaptation of A Chorus Line!
I love how he added some backstory for the characters that actually kinda helped west side story make more sense… Id love to see something similar for a chorus line, it’d be so good!
Bravo well done
This was amazing!!! 😍😍😍😍
PS No need to add that little bit at the end...just keep that emotion inside
anyone here after getting cast for west side story
Ruthanne Downey nope i was a fan before😂
This is some Lea Salonga type s**t.
Lea Salonga did a much, MUCH better job singing this.....
