No copyright infringement is meant, and if the owners of the video would like it removed, all they have to do is ask!
I think her "badly" lip syncing only proves to everyone that she's not used to doing it. She is absolutely amazing! A true gem!!!
I think the lip synch issue was due to the dvd to You Tube issues. I have the Broadway Treasures dvd and there's no synch issues there.
Digger Howard I absolutely love her , she’s one amazing lady, the best.
There is absolutely no way that this women lip syncs. We will probably never see someone of this star quality again in our lifetime along with Julie Andrews. They both were the real deal.
She’s still going strong, and won a lifetime achievement Oscar this year! More: ruclips.net/video/A4LhX7aATfM/видео.html
Lea Solonga says hello.
As does Barbra Streisand.
Both of them are exceptional.
R.I.P. Jerry Orbach, a great actor of film, tv, and stage.
And Angie now ;(
Lansbury is an absolute treasure. May she live forever.
RIP Angela Lansbury, 96
Angela Lansbury is FLAWLESS
it's not lip syncing, it's just the original video's audio turned off and a profession recording placed over the top of it.
If you watch the 1979 Tony's, you'll see that she is actually lipsyncing it. They recorded her voice track in a studio then she matches her mouth with it on stage.
Ya it's lypsyncing....you can't hear anything any of the beating on the table and if she had a live mic on it would have picked all that up
one of the most brilliant women to grace the stage in history.
...while Yul Brynner and Patricia Morison sang Shall We Dance live and Carol Channing sang "When the Parade Passes By" live. In the days before wireless microphones, it was just a matter what the performance needed in terms of choreography, the number people on stage, and what the performer was comfortable with.
@cfronck The film still has humour, it's just that Burton specialises in 'dark' films so he used black comedy. He actually followed the story quite closely as the original play is supposed to revolve around revenge and obsession - it's an adaptation, not an exact replica. It still includes the original's famous lines of comedy ie. this song, and 'By the Sea', but to make the film more comedic would ruin the main point of the story - I personally believe darker humour fits perfectly.
Watch the actual version of her singing on broadway, for real. She IS Mrs. Lovett!
Wow. There's a lot of true Sweeney Todd haters on here. Goodness. A true fan would love the stage just as much as the film. This was written in 1979 by Stephen Sondheim (as the video stated) and things were different then and now. Seriously, quit comparing and just enjoy the beauty of Sweeney Todd.
WONDERFUL !
Couldn't have said it better myself!
excellent!!
Putting Aside The Argument Of Who Sings It Better!..THIS IS AN AMAZING SONG!:D
The actor performing with Angela in this is Frank Kopyc, I think. He was a memeber of the original ensemble.
Carter had a completely different style. She was also rushing a bit because that's how the song is. Carter also had the help of camera magic and didn't need to project her voice or gestures because it's not onstage. There's a reason why broadway actors rarely reprise their roles in movie versions of the shows they starred in. The two require very different methods of acting. Not that Lansbury isn't great on film, but she can't be too subtle in a theater.
She is my favorite
Helena sad to say didn't have an ounce of Angela's energy and that's too bad because Mrs. Lovett is a show stopping role and she never ran with it.
@RijiiRizu I agree, she is not lip syning, I think that it is just the sound gets a little off in the middle. You see that a lot with older videos like this one.
I don't think ANY performance of a character can be compared, each interpretation is different.
They all play a Different Lovett, But all of them are great. You can interpret a character different than the others. That's is what makes The plays enjoyables, Because they all play the characters how they thought the character was. They are all great.
Thats not Lipsyncing, Thats her ACTUAL Voice .
Nobody sings this song like Angela Lansbury
Definitely an SVU case if I ever heard one
The Loveliest Mrs.Lovett
I've watched this a few times, and she's lipsynching. If you watch and listen, there is no background noise at all. There's an audience, but even they sound canned.
Wow, is Angela really lipsyncing? o.O
Thank you for the vid! I love seeing Angela as Lovett acting with a different Sweeney other than Hearn.
@602funnybone it's possible, but I kind of doubt it
I think it's more likely they just had very, very good stage mics
but if she IS lipsynching, so what, that just makes it all the more amazing that she could exactly duplicate in a studio a performance she gave on a stage!
I don't know if this was discussed in the previous comments, but I don't think this is from the "original Tony award telecast" where Sweeney won. Where's Len Cariou? He was there; he won that night, too...I think this is from two years later, the 1981 Tony Award show, where they had numbers performed from many recent best musicals. I think that may be Walter Charles, an understudy, as Todd, here. It certainly isn't Cariou or Hearn....
It's interesting to see how much better Ms. Lansbury got at this number by the time she did the taped run of the touring production. I mean, this is great, but her performance with George Hearn is unbelievable.
AMAZING as always angela! no one is lypsincing,
I like seeing HBC in the movie...she's very pretty and her style works well with the transition to the big screen. However, if I were watching on stage, Angela....hands down.
And to me, it doesn't take away from her talent at all. It's still her voice, and she still sang it live every night. So what if she lip-synced for a televised performance? We don't know why it happened. Maybe she felt she wasn't good enough to perform it live on TV? Maybe the producers thought her voice wasn't strong enough to properly reach the mic? Maybe she was sick or she lost her voice and she had to? We don't know why she did it. But we do know that she's awesome.
she is absolutely not lipsyncing
@JTPolo101 I saw the show on Broadway, I can't remember if it was Len, or George, but Angela was there, and the show was great!
can't believe she is sybil vane! :D
It's well known that this clip is a lip synched performance. Not her fault. This was just for the 1979 Tony Awards, and they had her lip sync it. No big deal. We all know she doesn't need to. Her "real" performance at the Uris was live every night.
She's still brilliant in this, regardless.
@Marshellcab47 she is, cos she kinda misses her cue at the start at 1:00, she comes in late
It is her actual voice, but she is lipsyncing to a recording of it.
Its not bad quality its the same as the DVD Quality, I saw it in Theatre Class
She's the person who did Mrs. Potts' voice.
well, that's a movie.
this is LIVE.
so obviously it won't be as polished.
Angela did a wonderful job either way.
Both of them did, :)
I couldn't think of two of other people who could do a better job
Gotta give anyone credit for singing Sondheim's songs
Personally, after watching both versions, I have to say that both Helena offer something to the character of Mrs Lovett. Though my favorite is Helena, Angela brings this certain craziness and all over the place characteristic to the woman that at some points I enjoy her version better. Helena. Brings a certain human nature to the woman. She's just not as crazy as Angela's version. Though it is unfair to compare a play to a movie, given certain limitations.
The movie and stage version are two different mediums, it's really hard to compare them.
@nimma1zchaos i dont think shes lip syncing its just a really old and poor quality video... either way its clearly her singing xD
@anoymoose Oh no. I'm sorry, I wasn't saying that you were wrong. I was stating that I thought Tim Burton's approach to Sweeney was wrong because he took the comedy out. I was merely informing you that the original piece that Steve wrote was a comedy, and Burton made it a drama.
Have you seen the Mina Kaye version? I think she did a really good job showing the comedy in this song.
@FamGuyFreak100 You do know that this is the same women as who plays Mrs. Potts on Beauty and the Beast. I have seen her. She can sing
she is is Mrs.Potts she did the voice
@anoymoose You are absolutely wrong! Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd is a musical comedy. Tim Burton turned it into a dramatic picture which was clearly not Sondheim's intention. And no! Helena Bonham Carter is not better in the role of Mrs. Lovett simply because she is a British dramatic actress. Maybe, Tim Burton wanted a dramatic actress, but that is simply because Tim Burton wanted drama and completely destroyed the comedic aspect of Sweeney Todd.
WHAT?! Who are you? NO ONE does Lovett like Lansbury. The two names are synonymous. Bonham Carter does a fine job, but there's no comparison.
@tagdam1 Yes, it's my opinion. And yes, she probably got it because she's Tim Burton's girlfriend (and I don't think she's a very good singer). But I still like her acting better than Angela's.
Relax bro, I didn't mean to start an argument.
@roguecereal Not at singing, she isn't. Most of her vocal tracks were auto-tuned. But like others have said before me, in other capacities, it is impossible to compare the movie and stage versions.
angela does a fine version i think if u were to see the original musicall performance u would notice she doesnt usually lipsync...
I wish I didn't agree. But I really do!
I LOVE Sweeney Todd! It's gross but interesting.
When it's recorded......but i see what you mean...
Can't really compare Angela's version with Helena's version.......they both did it in their own unique ways really.
@lenozzedifigarofan15 agreed
@Marina9417SP I think all of the version are pretty good, if you ask me...
@Lilacsinm fair enough :3
helena bonham carter cant do a role better that angela lansbury originated...
Calm down, I'm just a girl, and that's just my opinion, and it's probably because I'm a huge fan of Helena.
What is she saying?
@Marshellcab47 She absolutely is lip syncing... This is the version from the OBC Album from 79
this is proof enough...Helena will always be THE Mrs. Lovett!!!!!!!
No, no, NO! Angela Lansbury is NOT lipsyncing here. It's not from the OBC recording. There are many differences.
It's also a little creepy
yeahh much better
Wait.
Hold on!
The announcer.. what's his name?
And wonderful performance by Angela! :)
I don't think her lipsyncing was bad, (trust me, i've seen far worse) but I couldn't really understand because it was so fast.
you cant really compare angela lansbury and helena bonham carter because one of them is broadway and a LIVE performance which is much harder than performing in a movie... carter was amazing buuuut she did hav a recording studio and could redo any scenes she wanted... u cant do tht on stage
She's not lip syncing people the clips audio is just off from the video
it may be just me but i dont think that lansbury has the vocal power to play mrs lovett patti lupone on the other hand..
@Marina9417SP You're nuts.
@MusicalsFan15 its just crap quality i think
No it is not. You can't tell how closely Angela's acting matches with her singing because the video is out of sync. You will hear subtle differences between the two if you listen to them close together. So NO, she is absolutely no lipsyncing.
Is that Len Carious sitting there?
Absolutely not (12 years later.)
Pretty sure they just had someone from the cast do it since Len didn't want to just sit there for the Tony's performance and say anything.
Shes syncing her lips with the backing track.
Hence the term "lip-sync".
who does the what now?
its not?
She is lipsyncing. I've seen this clip aired on TV, on DVD, on RUclips, and it's currently playing on my PS3. The video isn't out of sync, and she's lipsyncing. And frankly, I don't mind it. It isn't someone else's voice; it's her's. Maybe she lost her voice and couldn't have done the singing live? Maybe the producers thought her voice wouldn't pick-up well enough on the single mic on-stage for the TV airing? Who knows? Who cares? She's still awesome.
Angela Lansbury is so far the better actress who played Mrs Lovett. Nevertheless, Helena Bonham Carter has her style, as Patti Lupone.
all i have to say is .....
ocward !
she deffinately does it better #Helena Bonham Carter is my idol
I like the Helena Bonham Carter version better. ;/
The perfect antidote to Helena's joyless, God-awful version of this song. She has one of the greatest comedy introduction songs in musical theater history, and she can't bring out one bit of the humor Sondheim wrote into it - shame on her.
Helena brought a different interpretation and aura to the role which is just as wonderful as Angela's larger than life interpretation.
@@lauradiaz491 Lol no, and I like Helena Bonham Carter.
i think this performance is to rushed, the singing anyways. the performance by helena bomber carter, is much more polished and accurate.
me gusta mas la versión de Tim Burton...
She's lipsyncing. I've seen this clip aired on TV, on the DVD, on RUclips various times, and it's on my PS3, and she always looks like she's lipsyncing. Which is fine to me. This was in 79/80, when lip-syncing was still done at the Tony's for various reasons, for various. Joel Grey lip-synced his performance of Willkommen. At the 25th annual Tonys, Robert Preston lip-synced "Trouble" and Tom Bosley lip-synced The Name's LaGuardia....
whatever
Helen Bonham Carter can't sing this live. Angela Lansbury can, and has won a Tony to prove it.
Maybe she lost her voice.
@Marina9417SP much better!
Unpopular Opinion: Helena Bonham Carter does it better :/
Helena Bonham es mejor!!
