She's elegant, exquisite, dynamic, legendary, massive, powerhouse and top tier! Modern day Norma Desmond that keeps on nailing vocally and impressing music lovers. Her recent award was well deserved!
Yes I was there twice and was obsessed by her performance and the production as a whole will bring my family in tow to Broadway here we come and folks go too !
Marc, hats off to you for admitting you were wrong about Nicole's vocal ability and opening your mind. I have friends irl who still pretend she cannot sing because they have their preconceived ideas about her because of her "sexy" image. Sometimes I think it's sad that she still has prove herself at 45 years old, but her talent and tenacity really are inspiring. I guess that might be why I like her so much. I'm not a singer or artist, but I always feel like I have prove myself and no one believes in me. She's talked about experiencing that and proving herself since childhood, in college theater productions, auditioning for PCD as an adult and clearly to this day...
I believe in you! I don't know you but you write so eloquently and communicate your thoughts so clearly and have a kind heart, so I can tell you are a great and gifted person. I hope you believe in yourself! ❤❤❤
not to forget that she sings one of the best Cats - Memory and not to forget she has already performed several times with Andrea Bocelli, amazing🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶
Nicole is an exquisite WARRIOR of a performer!!! Time and time again she continues to prove herself as a world class talent. Not only did she deliver one of the best vocal performances of all time, she absolutely SOARED through this historic gig in her already monumental career. She will top herself every next time and her talent is just endless it seems. But her fans know this, as in awe as we all are, her true killer lovers know to expect only the best and nothing less from Nicole. She has delivered and she will deliver. She deserves that royal stage and all the overdue but inevitable praise she's currently receiving. THIS is why she is here on this earth. SING NIC!!! 🩵🩶 PS: Anyone else excited for Nicole's big return to the West End in Sunset Boulevard this fall? I'm so thrilled that she will get this legendary moment to shine in a leading role of this capacity. Nicole's Norma Desmond will be refreshing & ICONIC! 🙌🏼 Thank you Marc for reacting to this!!! 😁
I love this review! I love that you let us hear it all the way through and then went through again and gave your thoughts. I love that you were open-hearted and open-minded enough to consider that maybe you had prejudged her. I think she's so beautiful and was in a sexy girl group, so it's hard to conceive that she could also be this incredibly talented. I love that you listened to your viewers (so it feels like a dialogue and not a monologue), and reconsidered your original thoughts. She is so gifted and I also am just finding that out myself... it wasn't until I heard her sing the song from the Phantom of the Opera that I really understood. I appreciate your thoughtful review, Marc!
I love the every word is enunciated perfectly. It's almost like she's spelling each word so you can hear each letter of that word. As good as someone like Ariana Grande performs, I sometimes have problem understanding what the word she is saying. Nicole does not have that problem.
Hi Marc you got to watch Nicole display all her multi hyphenate talents in Broadway this year reprising her role as Norma Desmond in the edgy and reimagined Sunset Boulevard. I watched the show twice in London last year and OMG her performance was jaw dropping and electrifying , vocals was majestic and mesmerizing and acting was awesome and she showed off some terpsichorean skills that she won many awards including the prestigious and coveted Olivier Award for best Musical Actress. She finally came hoooome to the stage where she rightfully belongs . Folks go watch Jamie Lloyd’s Sunset Boulevard in Broadway soon you will be blown away by the stunning performance of Nicole et Al and the production itself and music background are mind blowing . This production was a smash commercial and critical hit in London it won 7 Olivier Awards including Nicole and Tom Francis , her leading man . Good news is Nicole will be bringing along the other 3 main characters to Broadway . There was a note in one of Nicole’s sings where she held it for 15 seconds and at times 21 seconds which was insane I will be there again in Broadway to watch Nicole et Al take Broadway by storm ❤️❤️❤️
I LOVE the reviews shes been getting in that run in the West End. I was actually flying out of London the day after they opened - I seriously looked into changing my flight to be able to see it. Looks like I should have done it.
I like that this isn't Lea Salonga's version. Don't get me wrong, she's the original and she SLAYS it every time. But Nicole's is different. Her runs, her placement, even the shape of the vowels are all different, and it tells an entirely different story.
I gather this is based on Christina Aguilera's 2020 version of the song. (It's in the same key Christina sang it in more recently.) I'm too huge a fan of the version of the song within the animated film (sung by Lea Salonga) rather than the pop versions (done by Christina Aguilera in 1998 and then again in 2020). I don't know the original pop version well and haven't listened to the new pop version, but I know people have been impressed with Christina's performance of a song 22 years later.
Memory is still her best song to sing for me..But I do love Phantom of the Opera and Don Cry For Me Argentina...along with And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going.
Lang Lang chose the song, and chose her to be his partner in this show. She didn't disappoint at all! Lang Lang likes this song because it is a fusion of the east and west. Mulan is also a patriotic person, which fits well with the king.
Yes LangLang the consummate pianist knew and acknowledged Nicole’s artistry hence his choice . Their performance that night was the best and truly fitting for the occasion!
I like that she didn’t open up the vowel at the end. Opening it up wouldn’t have made sense because she wanted to keep it a small and delicate sound. It was just right to keep the “I” vowel as it was.
"Andrew Lloyd Webber has said "I really believe she’s the most fantastically talented girl and I went out on a limb to get her for the London Palladium here"...In a furious interview on Friday, the impresario said the singer had lost herself a possible Tony award.... Nicole Scherzinger pulled out of his Broadway musical to return to the UK as an X Factor judge." Well, Nicole knows what she wants, it seems! Thanks for this reaction.
That's not even the full story. She took the X Factor giv while in the running for Cats on Broadway because the producers of the American production (ALW wasnt one of them) never gave her final confirmation amd a contract...because they didn't actually want her. So she took another job where she was actually wanted instead of waiting for inevitable rejection. ALW didn't realize this because the media made it seem as if she turned down Cats. They made up less than a week later.
Hi Mr. Marc! If I may suggest, since you’ve been reacting to a lot of Disney covers, please kindly do a reaction video for Disney Plus Medley - Zephanie, Janella, Stell.. you will absolutely love this!! Been a fan of yours ever since I watched your reaction to Lea’s On My Own.. you are accurate and just know how to explain well ❤ thank you so much!!!
She had a gene of singers because shes a half filipino american... Half filipino american singers are so popular like bruno mars, olivia rodrigo, even enrique iglesias, we have our singer icon like lea salonga and charice pempengco....
Olá sou do Brasil e gostaria que você se possível fazer um react de músicas brasileiras vou sugerir uns aqui; Gigantes do Samba, Daniel 40 Anos abertura, Ana Carolina e seu Jorge, Ferrugem, Henrique e Juliano, Gustavo Lima, reaja também a shows br vs gringo. Abraço do Brasil.
I just don't understand why you find some parts of her song isn't perfect?? She is a professional?? Surely to God you must realize how important it was for her & ofcourse the whole band. Yes you say you like it, but not so much, why??
There was only one little thing at the end he didn’t like, and it’s not that he didn’t like it. It just wasn’t his preference. And he stated clearly what that was. Even though he’s dead wrong, lol. So that’s all it is, nothing for you to worry about. Just a Vowel choice.
She's ok, not as good as Lea. And as per usual, to make it "original" and "new" there just a bunch of warble ooOOOooOO additions to make it extra cringy
I have to disagree. Nicole is a much better than Lea Salonga vocally. Lea sings the song musical-style where she essentially speaks the words melodically. If you prefer that, that's a matter of taste, but Lea's vocal range is limited compared to Nicole who can do more with her voice.. As for those "bunch of warble ooOOOooOO additions," those are called runs and ad libs, which are common in black-influenced American music; again, a matter of taste, but capable powerhouse vocalists are able to do that, not just sing-talk words.
Nicole is now singing and acting the roof off in the West End in the very demanding role of Norma Desmond in Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard!
She's elegant, exquisite, dynamic, legendary, massive, powerhouse and top tier! Modern day Norma Desmond that keeps on nailing vocally and impressing music lovers. Her recent award was well deserved!
Yes I was there twice and was obsessed by her performance and the production as a whole will bring my family in tow to Broadway here we come and folks go too !
She is currently doing sunset boulevard on broadway. I’m going to see it in April. I can’t wait. I love her theatre style of singing
@@brendajean77359 She is BRILLIANT as Norma. Have seen twice on Broadway now. Will seen again because it’s so compelling.

Let’s not forget the wonderful piano playing by Lang Lang
The passion and power in her voice was incredible and wow just amazing
Love Nichole, not only a good singer but a good dancer. She’s very talented ❤️
not to forget that she sings one of the best Cats - Memory and not to forget she has already performed several times with Andrea Bocelli, amazing🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶

Totally forgot she was returning to the West End! Cant wait to react to her take on "As If We'veNever Said Goodbye"
I can wait to hear her sing "As If We Never Said Goodbye"!!!
update its totally amazing.
update its totally amazing.
@@MarcDanielPatrickare you going to react?
Wow
I never knew she had such a gorgeous tone to her voice
I mean I’m. It typically a fan of her girl group
You need to give us the honor of your reaction to Nicole Scherzinger performing Memory from Cats. PLEASE!!!
You really become a fan of Nicole Scherzinger if you’re watching her on the masked Singer as well. Lol. You really learned your lesson!
I love this review! I love that you let us hear it all the way through and then went through again and gave your thoughts.

I love her. She's very talented and very charismatic. I wish her all the best!!! Thanks for this video. Btw, I don't skip the ads ;)
Haha

Its what theatre training will do to ya. Completely agree.
Yes!! Nicole, Whitney so many others pronounced all those lovely consonants

This is a different style. Nicole is a pop/R&B singer with a musical theater and rock music background so that's why there are runs and ad libs.
Listen to Katrina Velarde's version..
I hated this version. She ruined it imo
I gather this is based on Christina Aguilera's 2020 version of the song. (It's in the same key Christina sang it in more recently.)

Phantom was epic, but have you ever seen her do “Don’t cry for me Argentina” she smashes and performs through that
Memory is still her best song to sing for me..But I do love Phantom of the Opera and Don Cry For Me Argentina...along with And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going.
Love Nicole
She is brilliant in Sunset Blvd. currently running on Broadway. Her first, but hopefully not her last, Broadway show.
Still waiting your reaction to her Phantom of thr Opera.
She was just cast as the lead in sunset blvd in west end
Lang Lang chose the song, and chose her to be his partner in this show. She didn't disappoint at all! Lang Lang likes this song because it is a fusion of the east and west. Mulan is also a patriotic person, which fits well with the king.

Have you watched her and Luke Evans singing Beauty and The Beast it’s amazing!!
When you see her perform on The Masked Singer she is better than anyone on the show ever...
You WISH you could sing like her

Are you legitimately saying how you feel or are you bowing to the comment crowd?
I wish Pussycat Dolls would make a comeback!!
Lol dont know about that - but I do wish Nicole would tour and perform more.
@@MarcDanielPatrick I read that a comeback tour got cancelled 😭 but maybe one day 💗🙏✨
@@kp-da They were meant to start their tour in March 2020, I had tickets, but alas, everything stopped that year
Watch a Celine dion any song trust me

Different strengths… Nicole wins in the range department, both belt and head voice.
You do realize Christina Aguilera is one of the original singers of that song, right? Nobody has to sing at the straight Disney way.
Yeah I didn't like it either. Found it a bit boring. Was a really odd song choice too.
