it took me until right now to realize Jamie also blew her off with a heartfelt letter
Oh yeahhhhh .0.
You just blew my mind.
Ouch ok why you gotta do me like that
Holy crap....how had I never made that connection before?!
nO WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT
The way Betsy portraits this character brings a whole new light to Cathy. Her sadness and frustration have a lot layers to it that I haven't seen in any other actress.
couldn't agree more, I LOVE what she is bringing to this role. Maybe more than the original (NO ONE TELL Sherie Rene Scott. . shhhh. . I love her too)
@@austinvs I loved Anna Kendrick portraying Cathy too.Betsy looks so sweet too.Looks like a crime make her cry.
PS:I know both are wrong on the relationship,but I hate Jamie's attitudes a little more.
the control she has over her voice is IMMACULATE. she know exactly when to shy away and when to explode. this is my FAVORITE version and i will stand by that.
she’s so torso anchored and head neck anchored! i love it
1000% to everything you said. It’s a Masterclass in MT right here
"the second it ENTERED my head" 2:15 LORD. the way she sings that is EVERYTHING
Glad someone else noticed that 🙌
sounded like Idina for a second there on "en"
I love the musicians, they seem like they enjoy what they do, especially the lady on the keys (:
I love musicians, especially Betsy Wolfe.
Went to school with her. She's a treat!
Her mix is so well balanced. FIGHT ME.
Liam Joshua Munn and forward😍👏🏾
Hahahahaha 😭 "FiGhT mE"!
I agree. Especially on that F#
@AND ANDREY ISN'T HERE because of several mt elitists that always have something to say
I think everyone has their preference of style. To me her style isnt for me. But I'm already thinking of different ways I can do this song. Between this and hearing a.k. sing it, for me if I were to sing it would need to change some from both their versions to suit me more.
Betsy Wolfe really acted every beat. What a goddess.
A shiksa goddess, to be exact
Her voice + that outfit = WOW
Betsy is such a FINE actress. I love her takes, she always add an extra layer of
maturity to the songs
I find Betsy adds so much to Cathy’s character - most of the time, I find that Cathys appear boring and it’s hard to imagine how Jamie fell in love with her, but Betsy puts in so much charisma and humour that Cathy’s transformation from happy to heartbroken is even more hard hitting!!
You're completely right, most of the time when I saw the movie I was siding with Cathy just cause at least she didn't cheat lol
Betsy's delivery is something else for sure.
Look at how crazy spontaneous, and full of potential and drive Kathy is in the last few songs at thr beginning of their relationship.. she actually has success in her career, but also she drive and a twinkle in her eye. Once she starts dating Jamie, something happens.. he gets super successful and she kinda just falls into the background and starts to believe that he's thebest part of her, and that's when she starts getting sad. But if you're looking for it, you'll see that she was different before. Jamie changed too in other ways, but that's for another day
The reason Cathy may be perceived as boring is because the story is told from Jamie's point if view, and he's the only one allowed to be interesting in his story
I think that the last five years deserve to be on Broadway it's not as expensive as other shows like Phantom of the Opera and it's a masterpiece and a very well liked and popular musical .They would sale many tickets if they ever decide to put it on Broadway
Alex P.D I feel it’s best it isn’t on broadway or never will be. I think this show needs the intimacy of the story kept strong and they can’t do that in a Broadway theatre.
Why do people act as if Off-Broadway is lesser than Broadway? The only difference between the two if we're honest is that Broadway Theaters have more seats than Off-Broadway. That's the key reason why a show like The Last Five Years thrives Off-Broadway, It's a smaller, more intimate experience which is not a bad thing.
And also if you actually look into it most Broadway theaters aren't even on Broadway.
IT WASNT ON BROADWAY??
@@radicalshof nooo I get what ur saying but I definitely thinking but I think Broadway stages can be intimate like the color purple?
Facts
"Duraaan Duraaaaaaaan-"
I'm losing my mind imagining this Cathy singing and absolutely being brokenhearted in "See I'm Smiling."
OH JESUS CHRIST NO-
There's an album. You don't have to imagine it!
Not to divert from her amazing talent, but I adore this outfit.
I saw this and thought they'd be reviving it again! Joke's on me... I love Betsy. She's just incredible.
I had hopes.
Love how she interprets the song!
Perfection. Everything about this. God has blessed us with Betsy Wolfe.
her voice is like so effortlessly good
I do not like musicals because of the unnecessary screaming, the fake laughters, because of songs like this one. This is really the type of songs I cannot stand and yet, this amazing singer made me listen to her performance more than 50 times in 2 days. It is practically impossible for me to resist. The "... you don't have to get a haircut..." section and the culmination of energy is so palpable! Nothing but respect.
They all look like they’re having so much fun!! I love it
is the lasT FIVE YEARS COMING TO BWAY OR IS THIS JUST PROMO FOR HER SHOW
literally me
@@camara1194 i know! that's why i was asking if it was coming to broadway! i was like "wait jrb didn't say anything but is it??"
what's her show??
she was cathy a few years ago in a revival
So impressed with the lady on the keys.
I love betsy wolfe so much. this is a great version too, every one is so into it
I love how she interacts with the musicians. It's so sweet. 💖
oh my god . excellent story telling totally captivating and that flawless voice that flows naturally and overwhemingly. yas
There are so many talented people in this world. Her performance is perfection, technique effortless and I'm left wanting more!
YES QUEEN glad to see her back on here
You can not touch this performance. Wow❤
She’s so beautiful.
Control for days! Everything was just Brad and resonant and ringing. Her vibrato is one of my favorites it’s just so seamless. She really knows how to push and pull with music like this. Taking some phrases out of time and then speeding up another. It’s so smart and I loved all her choices vocally. Those high notes man was so clear and full, I mean she’s phenomenal. I cannot get over how much I love her voice. I wanna hear her sing “dying ain’t so bad.” She’d murder that song!
Great song, and I love the boots!
Fun fact: Betsy played the former stripper in the last five years movie.
I know it’s absolutely the most fun fact ever. The stripper in the movie got maybe a total of ten seconds of screen time and was my second favorite character, behind Dwayne of course
@@internalscreaming7566 of course, Dwayne's the real main character. The movie needs more popularity, it's so good!
@@maddietillem6778
Totally agree with this. While Anna can’t really sing, she still sounded nice. And I mean... Jeremy.
@@internalscreaming7566 Yeah... Jeremy. I thought Anna was great. She can definitely sing! We've just been comparing her to Jeremy freaking Jordan
@@internalscreaming7566 Wayne is the real star of the show
Loved everything about this!!
Fact: Betsy Wolfe is a blessing from the heavens and we do not deserve her
Love how expressive she is
Ahh I love this song!! What a great performance by her and all the musicians.
Ahhhhh i love Betsy so much! This is amazing!
Betsy has been my favorite bway performer for and a year a half 🥰 i love her sm ❤️❤️
She makes singing look so effortless wtf how that was amazing!
Omg I love Betsy!
I don't think I've ever heard a tone that I like more in musical theater. Holy what in the world yes please.
“.. thank you” AW
I've loved this show for a few years now, but she just portrayed Cathy beyond anything I've ever seen or heard. She was mesmerizing!
I’m so gay for Betsy Wolfe
Everyone’s smiles at 5:18 💕
absolute perfection. what a true talent.
Her mix is amazing!!!!
she makes it look so effortless god i love her
why is she so cute n effortless
I LOVE THIS MUSICAL AND THIS SONG 😭😭😭
Wow, this character is different from the movie. Same song, such a difference
She is and always has been subtly powerful. Bravo!
I love this so much.
This voice. What. How does she do it?!
I loveeeeeeeeee her and I miss her in falsettos so much ❤️❤️❤️
This is my favorite version of this song, even more than the studio recording than Betsy did.
My favorite Cathy!!! Ever.
2:34 can't believe she called us all out on this one
That last note. 😯🥰. Placement queen!!!
Amazing!
YES!QUEEN!
This is so fierce and nuanced. ♥️ Deeply impressed.
i will never forget seeing her play cathy
I'm living for the good vibes that come from this video
I saw this wonderful woman in. &juliet as Anne Hathaway /April and was absolutely fabulous. she really is an amazing performer
god she’s perfect
What a stupendous performance!
She's captivating, I love this
This is perfection
this is something i never knew i needed
YES
Man. Betsy is just something else especially in this role. She just has a certain quality that brings a whole nother dimension to Cathy.
Great voice.
Her voice is just so good WTF!!!!!
This is such a brilliant rendition of this song! REALLY excellent storytelling and this song absolutely needs that
I watched this performance, and it inspired me to sing this song from my Thestival performance at my thespian club :)))
SLAY QUEEN
This is pure perfection
Betsy is the best Cathy change my mind
I watch this at least once a week
MY ICON
Beautiful voice
Ive waited my whole life for this and guess what it was fucking worth it
This is actually a very difficult song to make work. But this actress milks very ounce of meaning out of that lyric and infuses in with a ton of character. We are definitely invested in this character and this message. What she is doing with the phrasing is genius.
Her delivery, acting and storytelling are impecable.
I’m so lucky to have ever seen her live. She is a fucking goddess. I love her.
The Last Five Years has the best music in all of Broadway. It needs a revival.
Beautiful
I WISH YOU A SUCCESSFUL AND SOLD-OUT SHOW!...⭐😍✨💕🔥🖐🦁🌻✨🌷⭐
This performance made me transmigrate through so many emotions
Am just seeing this now months later. Wow! What a talent. Out here in the hinterlands, sometimes it takes awhile for things to filter out to us, but it is appreciated nonetheless. Will have to search for more of Betsy Wolfe. Great musicians behind her, too. (How does someone remember all those lyrics??? ;-) )
My best friend had a little situation
At the end of our senior year
And like a shot, she and Mitchell got married that summer
Carolann getting bigger every minute
Thinking, "What am I doing here?"
While Mitchell's out every night
Being a heavy-metal drummer
They got a little cute house on a little cute street
With a crucifix on the door
Mitchell got a job at the record store in the mall
Just the typical facts of a typical life in a town on the Eastern Shore
I thought about what I wanted
It wasn't like that at all
Made Carolann a cute baby sweater
Thinking "I can do better than that"
In a year or so, I moved to the city
Thinking "What have I got to lose?"
Got a room, got a cat, and got twenty pounds thinner
Met a guy in a class I was taking who you might say
Looked like Tom Cruise
He wouldn't leave me alone 'less I went with him to dinner
And I guess he was cute
And I guess he was sweet
ANd I guess he was good in bed
I gave up my life for a better part of a year
And so I'm starting to think that this maybe might work
And the second it entered my head
He needed to take some time off
Focus on his "career"
He blew me off with a heartfelt letter
I thought "I can do better than that"
You don't have to get a haircute
You don't have to change your shoes
You don't have to like Duran Duran
Just love me
You don't have to put the seat down
You don't have to watch the news
You dont' have to learn to tango
You don't have to eat prosciutto
You don't have to change a thing
Just stay with me
I want you and you and nothing but you
Miles and piles of you
Finally I'll have something worthwhile
To think about each morning
You and you and nothing but you
No substitution will do
Nothing but fresh, undiluted and pure
Top of the line and totally mine!
I don't need any lifetime commitments
I don't need to get hitched tonight
I don't want to throw up your walls and defenses
I don't mean to put on any pressure
But I know what a thing is right
And I spend every day reconfiguring my sense
When we get to my house, take a look at that town
Take a look at how far I've gone
I will never go back
Never look back anymoure
And it feels like my life led right to your side
And will keep me there from now on
Think about what you wanted
Think about what could be
THink about how I love you
Say you'll move in with me
Think of what's great about me and you
Think of the bullsh*t we've both been through
Think of what's past because we can do better!
We can do better!
We can do better than that!
We can do better than that!
Yes a thousand times yes
Her voice is so surprising - and very good
라파이에서 내가 제일 좋아하는 넘버💙
Oh myyyyyy!!! What is that voice!!!!!
Damn queen brought lewks!
the guy playing the beatbox is the same guy playing the drums in Cynthia Erivo's concert (where she also sang this), right?
no way, nice catch I think it is! his name's Jamie Eblen
Omg it is!!!!!! Lol
2:41 melts me
Also, close your eyes at 4:55 and tell me it doesn't sound like Sherrie! I mean she was in Everyday Rapture...
Holy shit this is great
She’s the best Cathy
