The fact that she was out of breath and still managed to hit the high note is awesome. Same with every Broadway performer as well. It takes a lot of energy so great job.
I love that you talk about the high note because Sara bareilles originally attended for it not to be a high note on her waitress album it’s not a belting high jote
I think she is just a mouth breather. I’m not just saying that because of the scrutiny she’s under currently, she truly does just seem to only breathe from her mouth.
Most musicals have much more complicated blocking and choreography than this. It’s really not that impressive. The singing quality is not great, she has a tendency to go flat on high notes. Definitely an overrated talent.
@@expired3939 Blocking is where and when an actor moves on stage and also what they do. Every time you see anyone move on stage it’s always blocked that way. Even if someone walks 2 steps to their right it’s always blocked that way!
@@squidney0416 That's not true. It's her doing a Southern accent, which is a requirement for Dawn. She didn't deliberately choose to make her Dawn sound like Miranda, however I do hear it though
I’m so sad, I remember this and remember loving this, it’s a shame to hear about the drama and scandal she’s caused and how much hurt she’s caused people, especially minors
@@schojdfjf6495 that wasn’t even an apology video, that video was just her singing about how annoyed she was and how much none of it was her fault, she’s such a disappointment
I hear Miranda in some parts😭 I’ve been watching Colleen since I was very little, so maybe it’s just me who picks up the Miranda LMFAOO Edit: I now regret watching her from a young age. Now if u excuse me, I will be burning my ukulele now🤍
im so proud of her!! ive been watching her since i was little talking about he she wanted to be on broadway and no one gave her the opportunity but she's finally done it!
@@dayxo it is related. She wanted to be on broadway for a long time and her destruction of her career isn’t going to put her in a production ever again, any time soon.
@@cloverring well duh. but just because she destroyed her career people wanna all of a sudden say she sucked when they were literally supporting her before 😭 it’s just very much fake behavior but 🤷🏽
I just came from Kimiko's version and IMMEDIATELY can tell the difference between the overall quality, especially in the vocals... and the southern accent
I think she has super pretty moments sprinkled throughout, but it’s all held together by very tense and nervous transitions. I’m very new to this Miranda/Colleen world-like I knew of her, just never watched any content until this “Traumageddon” event and the ensuing disclosures of victim statements piqued my curiosity over the edge. I had also never heard of Kimiko Glen before seeing folks recommend watching her performance and wow wow wow-Kimiko sounded amazing. It’s not just the “big” moments-like she transitioned from the dialogue to staccato to emotionally nuanced delivery back to staccato and then soft and then cranking out some emotional belting and it all felt sooooooo natural, connected, and effortless-and like a natural extension of this character’s emotional state and struggle with social/romantic anxiety. I think that’s the magic word: effortless. Like obviously it’s hard as hell to do that, but it’s clear that Kimiko is a consummate professional who planned breaths with Terminator-level precision so she would never compromise the flow of the song. Within a few verses I felt like I had full understanding of the character with Kimiko’s rendition. With Colleen’s version I can tell the character is neurotic, but I’m struggling so much to find her “theory” behind the character. It almost comes off like she’s just saying words and popping in some flourishes that occasionally stick the landing-but it’s more of an imitation of human emotion where the social anxiety of the character is diminished by the bombastic and confident delivery of Colleen. Idk how to convey it, but basically Kimiko’s version pulled me in while Colleen’s version left me feeling like I was doing all the effort trying to get sucked in to the performance. And the audience shouldn’t be exerting effort to get sucked into the song-it should just happen. That said, I can see where Colleen’s fans would have been so excited and happy for her before the recent info dumps about how wretched and despicable her behavior is. When you’re a fan, it’s easy to put on blinders and just hear the pretty moments. I think Colleen did have super pretty moments sprinkled in, but she def seemed like she was at the mercy of the song overall as opposed to Kimiko giving that vibe where she clearly had the song figured out and had full command over how to make the song her own. From that little bit at the end, it seems like in a live setting Colleen is better off sticking to softer acoustic performances. Like i think her gentle singing voice is legitimately super pretty and seems like it comes pretty effortless to her. Or if the songs have belting, maybe songs with a slower tempo and less dynamics to grapple with would be a better choice. At the same time, maybe this was all nerves and she’s she’s actually a rockstar? In that case, sing your heart out, but maybe work on some stage fright exercises. That’s my fair, outsider take on the singing as someone who likes to get my money’s worth when i buy a ticket for a premium live music experience like broadway or a celebrity musician concert. But as someone who came in blind and has learned about her behind the scenes behavior…rot in hell, Colleen. Truly demonic behavior. What the actual f is wrong with you???
The saddest part about all of this is that Kimiko recently posted her paycheck of 2 dollars on instagram in support of the actors strike. She's superhumanly talented and hardworking and still can't make enough money to pay the bills. Meanwhile people like Colleen are millionaires.
Honestly, it sounds too much like “Miranda” and she doesn’t fully fit the character. She gives me “about to fly off the handle psycho”. I don’t know. Maybe because we now know she’s a groomer that’s affecting my interpretation.
Nah she's just not a good actress and the only thing she can do is the "crazy girl who doesn't take anything seriously", it just lacked real emotions in the parts that were needed making her seem like she was wierdly joking
It's so disappointing and disgusting to hear the drama and what Colleen is actually like... I found her channel a few years ago and loved her performance but to find out what she was grooming kids and other awful things is disappointing
@@mandemelon I recommend Adam McIntyre’s channel for a more in-depth look into what happened, as I don’t believe a single RUclips comment could really explain it in full. Basically, Colleen was exposed for talking to her underage fans in inappropriate ways, and attempting to take advantage of them (labour-wise, not sexually). She sent a 14 year old a pair of bra and panties, and interacted with minors in many more inappropriate ways. You can find a lot more examples on the internet, as many victims have started to come forward with their stories. (Again, I recommend Adam McIntyre, he has been very outspoken in his treatment from Colleen and how traumatic it was, as well as covered the stories of many of the other victims).
All I hear is Miranda Sings with a Southern accent. Okay, so technically this is better than how the Miranda character sings, but she still sounds like a Southern Miranda.
I always thought she had a beautiful voice. I was so happy when she made it to Broadway. Now to find out what she is really like, I'm so disappointed 😞
i'm trying to be objective here: i know she's talented but holy shit this was so bad. off rhythm in a few places, uneven voice, accent sounded like miranda in the beginning... she probably would have been much better were this not on stage with so much choreo. too bad lol
People are liking this?? I‘m sorry but she was so out of breath for the whole number… I kept waiting for it to get better but it never came😂also, sadly all I can hear is Miranda.. so it’s a bit off putting for me tbh. Don’t get me wrong, her vibrato is surprisingly good but there is no breath support whatsoever.
I think this was a bad casting. I get people are comparing it to singing on RUclips and how she did “good for RUclips singer” but performing live with choreography is a completely skillset. It’s why people focus on musical theatre as a career to hone these skills. I wasn’t expecting Kimiko Glenn bc that’s unbeatable but I think people would be a lot more critical of this performance if she didn’t already have a dedicated fan base.
Yeah, but for me it's really hard to not compare her to Kimiko Glenn And think this performance is lacking. I understand every performer is different and has their own style, but Kimiko's was just flawless, and she set the bar too high lol.
Let’s just be for real. This was not the best casting ever. I honestly don’t think she was fit for Dawn or broadway in general. And now that she’s been exposed, it just makes it funnier, let’s get her the ukulele.
Love Colleen she’s amazing don’t get me wrong, but I gotta say based on what I’ve seen on RUclips Kimiko Glenn was simply in another league in comparison. Kimiko was just superior in every way possible, she’s the best “Dawn” I’ve seen after watching all the clips on RUclips. What are your opinions?
Yeah I agree Kimiko was better, but she was better than all the other girls that played Dawn. In Colleen's defense though, Kimiko had been doing musicals consistently without stopping all the way to when she got on Broadway. Colleen started off rough because she just needed practice with the stamina and took a while to improve breath control and consistency. But she sounded very good towards the end of her run
I actually don’t think Colleen did a very good job, I think she did ok but it just didn’t feel very believable. I felt like she was pretending it was on her show almost like she didn’t fully commit to waitress. And I just don’t think she fits as dawn, if anything her voice is better for deeper tones like Jenna’s. But just my thoughts
hi, commenting in June 2023 when she’s getting canceled for grooming children! She never deserved to be on broadway, ever, and shouldn’t ever be on that stage ever again
so weird how bias works. now that all her past actions have resurfaced, people think this performance sucks, when comments were overwhelmingly positive before. it’s honestly fascinating lol
I mean all the drama aside, this specific performance was mid. She did quite well, but the voice she uses for Dawn (which is fine on its own) sounds a lot like Miranda to people so that makes it sound bad to people. Also, because her run was only a few weeks long, she wasn't able to build up the stamina required for the insane choreography/blocking for this song while singing those loud high notes so she was out of breath a lot. I know for a fact this was one of her first performances too. All things considered, despite the fact that she's a horrible person, she did quite well for so early in her run.
@@maxsamil5663 i saw her in waitress in 2019. i never thought this was a bad performance by any means but she doesn`t hold a candle to kimiko glenn. i will say this recording sounds worse than she did when i saw her but i was never really impressed by her performance. i was much more captivated with alison luff as jenna, who blew me away with a rendition of a song that i was completely sick of hearing over and over again as a theater kid at that time
Im not sure it its bias. The blinders come off when you see the real person. She is a fair singer. But definitely not as good as people made her out to be.
Ive never been the hugest fan of her version. I don’t like how she sounds like Miranda throughout the whole song. She’s not horrible though. If Kimiko’s version didn’t exist, I’d love this
there are teenagers at my community theatre who have sung this better 😭 i think some of y’all are giving her the benefit of the doubt, or you aren’t familiar with good performances 🤷♀️ she’s pitchy, inconsistent (in tone and accent), out of breath, nasally, and bails out of high notes (3:22). if she was anyone else she would not have been casted point blank period. also, her acting is very artificial
Not usually a person who replies to old comments, though I am curious. How do you feel now after eveything about her has come out? Do you feel that (outside of her controversy) that her performance here is still good?
alright so the thing is, i don’t really know the full story to why she posted that apology ukulele video. i hate those people who accused her so terribly like that, bc it’s definitely destroyed her at this point. i don’t believe she’s a bad person, she just wanted to people to see how sorry she was. but as of what’s everyone’s saying here, i honestly don’t know what to think…. i think her performance here is good still yes. i love colleen, she’s beautiful, talented and funny, but i just wish i knew the whole story to why she’s being judged so harshly which lead to her break on RUclips..
Maybe look into what she’s being accused of then? The list is long, but she’s a child groomer who sends porn to children and talks to minors about sex and other inappropriate topics. Her accusers are victims, she deserves everything that is coming her way.
@@aliciak7700 she was grooming miners. Just look up Colleen Ballinger drama and you should see loads of videos going into detail about it. She was probably not the best person the be a fan of but how were people supposed to predict she was like that right 🤷
I really don't think she fits this part at all. Her tone is too mezzo. You need a true soprano for that part. She also can't pull off the awkward innocence of Dawn, IMO.
She literally only go the part because of her internet fame. Like she is a decent singer but she not even remotely as talent as she seem to be convinced she is. And the fact producer/casting instantly regretted the decision after opening night is hilarious. I mean how Colleen thought it be a good idea to turn a broadway show into her own personal meet and great with fan I never know Her fans flooded the show and treated it like a Miranda show. They were actively disruptive before during and after the show. After they flood the exit door waiting for her to come out and sign autographs cause the other actor to have to squeeze through a bunch of preteen nut cakes. Not sure she was surprised they didn’t want her back.
Oh wow I hate to be negative but this is really not good… I did see Kimiko Glenn as Dawn so of course that’s a tough act to follow, but this is just nowhere near the level I expect from a Broadway production

Yup when your out of breath and reach a high note your head is gonna ache I've done that before and it really hurts she did a very great job!
she wasn’t out of breath she was breathing heavily on purpose to emote
I think she is just a mouth breather. I’m not just saying that because of the scrutiny she’s under currently, she truly does just seem to only breathe from her mouth.
The fact that you praised/ supported a pedophile , harasser , dog killer psychopath is absurd!
Her “country” accent literally just sounds like miranda sings.
She IS mirinda...
@@cupcakeblush4537 that’s the joke. Her accent doesn’t sound country, it just sounded like her miranda impression.
The fact that I'm southern and had no idea that this is her trying a "country accent". I thought it was just a nerdy voice for the character. WOW
Hahaha it's true!
I think people underestimate the amount of choreography, blocking, and prop work in this, all while singing a difficult song....well done
I’ve seen this but the props are really realistic or it may be real!
They use flour and sugar and lots of ingredients used in cooking.
what's "blocking"?
@@expired3939 blocking is the movement of the actors around the stage that is planned at specific points.

I mean all the drama aside, this specific performance was mid. She did quite well, but the voice she uses for Dawn (which is fine on its own) sounds a lot like Miranda to people so that makes it sound bad to people. Also, because her run was only a few weeks long, she wasn't able to build up the stamina required for the insane choreography/blocking for this song while singing those loud high notes so she was out of breath a lot. I know for a fact this was one of her first performances too. All things considered, despite the fact that she's a horrible person, she did quite well for so early in her run.
@@maxsamil5663 i saw her in waitress in 2019. i never thought this was a bad performance by any means but she doesn`t hold a candle to kimiko glenn. i will say this recording sounds worse than she did when i saw her but i was never really impressed by her performance. i was much more captivated with alison luff as jenna, who blew me away with a rendition of a song that i was completely sick of hearing over and over again as a theater kid at that time
Im not sure it its bias. The blinders come off when you see the real person. She is a fair singer. But definitely not as good as people made her out to be.
It's way too nasally. Her fans supported her before but this is not a good performance
@@adairdick3488 Fully agree!!
I think it would be hilarious for her to do this scene as Miranda! She’d probably terrorize the set haha
we need her to do that!
Only if they’re minors
So many times during this performance she sounds like Miranda sings
Ive never been the hugest fan of her version. I don’t like how she sounds like Miranda throughout the whole song. She’s not horrible though. If Kimiko’s version didn’t exist, I’d love this
She’s got a stunning voice!!!
she sounds like miranda and it’s aucks
Wheres the ukulele
You can tell shes a youtuber and not meant for broadway
imagine paying a lot of money to go to a musical and having to hear this 😂 uff
WE GETTING OUT OF THE TOXIC GOSSIP TRAIN WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️
How tf did so many people think this was good 😅
there are teenagers at my community theatre who have sung this better 😭 i think some of y’all are giving her the benefit of the doubt, or you aren’t familiar with good performances 🤷♀️
she’s pitchy, inconsistent (in tone and accent), out of breath, nasally, and bails out of high notes (3:22). if she was anyone else she would not have been casted point blank period. also, her acting is very artificial
This made me want to go to manipulation station
✨🎶Toxic gossip traaaaaiiiinnn🎶✨
no hate but she just sounds like miranda the whole time and to bad she was weird with minors cuz i liked her :/...
I CAN ONLY HEAR MIRANDA IM SORRY *edit* SHE SLAYED THO
Me too 😂 she changed her voice for the character
@@Bye910 she slayed it tho LMAO
@@dracosapple6603 yeah
@@Bye910 as she should. she’s supposed to have an accent. you would know that if you’ve seen waitress
@@TheKeenKanines I know. I wasn’t hating…idk why I even said that, it was a while ago. I love her and I understand it was an accent
i love colleen sm, she’s so talented!!
hopefully Colleen will do more broadway shows!
Not usually a person who replies to old comments, though I am curious. How do you feel now after eveything about her has come out? Do you feel that (outside of her controversy) that her performance here is still good?
alright so the thing is, i don’t really know the full story to why she posted that apology ukulele video. i hate those people who accused her so terribly like that, bc it’s definitely destroyed her at this point. i don’t believe she’s a bad person, she just wanted to people to see how sorry she was. but as of what’s everyone’s saying here, i honestly don’t know what to think…. i think her performance here is good still yes. i love colleen, she’s beautiful, talented and funny, but i just wish i knew the whole story to why she’s being judged so harshly which lead to her break on RUclips..
Maybe look into what she’s being accused of then? The list is long, but she’s a child groomer who sends porn to children and talks to minors about sex and other inappropriate topics. Her accusers are victims, she deserves everything that is coming her way.
@@aliciak7700its because she groomed children and refuses to take accountability. she is also jus a horrible person as a whole
@@aliciak7700 she was grooming miners. Just look up Colleen Ballinger drama and you should see loads of videos going into detail about it. She was probably not the best person the be a fan of but how were people supposed to predict she was like that right 🤷
i love her in this 💕💕💕
I really don't think she fits this part at all. Her tone is too mezzo. You need a true soprano for that part. She also can't pull off the awkward innocence of Dawn, IMO.
She literally doesn’t seem like cute awkward just awkward and weird
2:33 the way the guy on the bar stool just casually goes back to reading his newspaper is amazing lol
Go Girl!!!!! Loved it.
Well this hits different
She's a really good singer but it's a bit distracting to hear her go from Miranda to Southernish accent to Normal Colleen in like 40 seconds.
Better than the ToXiC gOsSiP tRaIn 🚂
shes so one note the fact this character sounds just like miranda
The singing 💀
When you compare this to kimikos it’s really not good. 💀💀 also her voice is just a country Mirandasings
I saw the show when she was playing Dawn, the crowd that gathered afterwards just to see her was so big
her “who likes the way i am” is SOOOO good and REAL🥺🥺
She literally only go the part because of her internet fame. Like she is a decent singer but she not even remotely as talent as she seem to be convinced she is. And the fact producer/casting instantly regretted the decision after opening night is hilarious. I mean how Colleen thought it be a good idea to turn a broadway show into her own personal meet and great with fan I never know
Her fans flooded the show and treated it like a Miranda show. They were actively disruptive before during and after the show.
After they flood the exit door waiting for her to come out and sign autographs cause the other actor to have to squeeze through a bunch of preteen nut cakes.
Not sure she was surprised they didn’t want her back.
Oh wow I hate to be negative but this is really not good… I did see Kimiko Glenn as Dawn so of course that’s a tough act to follow, but this is just nowhere near the level I expect from a Broadway production
such a phenomenal job. i will continue to watch this till the day i die
