Omg that was absolutely Amazing! Very well done! Also, if i may miss Anna, can i request Valhalla calling? With your powerful voice i'm sure it will send shivers down everyone spines
3:05 is my favourite part, omg the voice but 3:13 i swear I got chills, hairs on my standing, goosebumps, spine-tingles! The whole cover is just phenomenal.... yet another standing ovation Anna 👏👏👏
How does she do this? I get addicted to a song, badabing badaboom she's got a cover of it, and it absolutely slaps! Love this so much! Also really like the art!
she knows all, she sees all. (she is simultaneously outside all of our windows watching every song we click on and listen to, and she has a little clipboard spreadsheet that she fills out and marks what all we like /t)
YESSS honestly I could listen to you sing the entirety of Ride The Cyclone!!! It’s one of my favorite off-Broadway musicals, so seeing it being performed by one of my favorite artists is amazing :)) your singing is perfect as always

I watched the short you put out for this song, got obsessed with the musical, and I literally just finished it just to find out you released the cover!!!
I am genuinely in love with all of your music!! Everything from the animations to your voice! and your harmonies are absolute heaven!!! Thank you you are a blessing to music ❤🎵
I've been obsessed with this song these last few days and you just cover it!!! I LOVE IT 💕 (Sorry if my grammar is bad, english is not my first language 😅)

This isn't even speculation. It's just the truth.
Can’t believe you’ve now covered the Ballad of Jane Doe, my favourite lament, and Noel’s Lament, my favourite ballad!
This hurts to read
@@EclipsaEldrich it’s true though, lament means they’re sad or tragic, Jane is very much both
@@spleens4200 hey! noel’s lament is very tragic
nothing more tragic than a gay man not being able to fulfill his dreams of becoming a sex worker in the old fashioned days

Everyone (whether secretly or not so secretly) really wants to be drawn like a French girl

@@princessravendiamond4288 💀 took me a second to get it
Just the fact that the character begins with "In real life I work a boring job, but in my head, I'm a hooker in post-war 1950's France"
Actually it’s talking ab ww1 because of the opium line
Also the whole outfit is vaguely 20s inspired
I love how technically “Noel’s lament” was a ballad and “the ballad of Jane doe” was technically a Lament 💃🏽
Actually ballads tend to be slower, and not loud, so Noel’s lament is not a ballad
@@Nofriends591it’s a ballad because he tells a story that’s not his I think
ballads are slow as they originate from folk and country music and they tell a story while laments express the singers' grief or mourning.
oh my god its because thats the kind of song they wish they could have ur a genius
🕺

I just introduced my girlfriend to RTC and Noel’s Lament is definitely her favorite song. So happy you covered this song!!! You slayed!!!
I was literally debating on if i should ask for this song on your last live! How funny!
Everytime I get obsessed with something Anna comes through and does a cover, I think she’s literally in my brain
But she won’t do toxic love from Ferngully
Dudeeeee! Anna ur voice is so powerful!!! This is awesome! :)
I've had the soundtrack for this musical on repeat for the past week, it's awesome you covered a song from it!
This song is amazing!! And you added you vocals and made it even better!!
This is unironically magnificently done truly no words
I love how the artstyle changes from Noel Gruber to Monique Gibeau, fits to the "split personality" of the song
Anna literally never disappoints, just like how this song never disappoints 💅 slayyyyy
Anna is always an amazing singer, but this artwork is gorgeous! The kermit frog on the mirror was a wonderful touch
I've never heard "whore" sung so beautifully
I literally sat here refreshing RUclips to see when it'd be uploaded and it was WORTH IT. Now I shall spend hours listening to it😌
This is my favorite musical!! Thank you so much for this! ❤❤❤
1:36 that part it's just.... Ahhhhh... so calming...- Thats the FIRST time i've ever heard you swore-
This song is amazing with ur voice omg
I watched the short you put out for this song, got obsessed with the musical, and I literally just finished it just to find out you released the cover!!!
the person behind the instrumentals totally SLAYED
annapantsu's covers + inesbravo's art style is a match made in heaven. and more rep for my favourite musical! bless
thank you ; v ;
Que hermosa canción!!! Y más con tu voz Anna la vuelve más hermosa!!!
THE ART IS GORGEOUS!!!
This song sounds like a bard could sing it in every village and everyone would try to find the true story behind it.
Ok if she ends up at some point doing all the RTC songs, I'm absolutely prepared for Space Age Bachelor Man😼
Omfg same I love that song
Btw it’s very relatable. If I was in Ricky’s situation I would start to sing about my OCs too.
I just KNOW you are hacked into ours spotify playlists! I KNOW IT! But we're not complaining. Awesome cover, just like always. 😉
i love your profile picture 😂
The art (the cover and the artwork, ofc) is fire, as always 🫶
Every cover she does is always top tier. I cant tell you how much i replayed this song within a day.
too accurate
and like the way she hit the high note (chef's kiss)
This is one of my favorite songs from Ride the Cyclone
Your cover is amazing
You nailed the song. Sending love 💕
God this was absolutely perfect, and the visual effects had me mesmerized! Bien fait
Loving the Kermit poster on the wall
I've been obsessed with Ride the Cyclone lately and this is exactly what I needed to add to my obsession. Amazing work!
"I chose to Burn Out, rather than Fade Away"
Now there's a quote.
I am genuinely in love with all of your music!! Everything from the animations to your voice! and your harmonies are absolute heaven!!! Thank you you are a blessing to music ❤🎵
*Great cover and beautiful artwork* ❤
Ahhh I was hoping you would do Noel’s lament! Thank you 🙏
I love it,ive heard a lot of covers of ¨Noel's Lament ¨ but this one is the top 1 to me
Alternative title: "La Bohème, but you have some Issues" xD
Stellar as always, Anna!
wow, I really like your voice, this cover is just perfect and I adore the details that you put in the lyrics, it's just amazing! ✨

when this came out it was my first exposure to rtc, but I thought it said Noelle, so listening to the original was a bit of a surprise lol
WOW. I love this musical and especially this song- your voice is just gorgeous!! loved thissss
Ur voice is pretty and ur songs covers always make my day from my fav song but u make them better for my brain to dance to ❤ 👑
I like you avatar
it's so awesome that this was made a few hours ago! I saw you on my tv and i have to say, YOU HAVE A REALLY GOOD SINGING VOICE!!!!
Oh ma gosh it’s so frickin amazing! It’s so great! Anyways the Kermit on the mirror just adds to the whole thing
This song was already addicting in the first place. But I think I'm even more addicted now!
Is anyone else concerned about the picture of Kermit??
Already knew this song would be great but then the artwork just made it 10x better
Seeing the Kermit pic just sent me holy crap
THE VOICE IS SO PRETTY 🤩 TEACH ME YOUR TALENT GIRL 🥲
I LOVE THE EDITING IN THIS
I love the pacing from slow to upbeat!
No words, this is simply amazing :o
How does Anna always make a cover of my favorite songs right when they become my favorites
i cannot describe how excited i’ve been for this cover
Breathtaking song to have on loop! I'm no expert but you've done an amazing job ❤
Annapantsu once said...
"You absolute madwoman"
"This is incredible"
Its the same with this
Okay this is amazing!
One of my favorite songs, from my favorite musical, covered by Anna.
And the artwork is beautiful!!
i’m so happy noel’s lament is getting the recognition it deserves !!
