- I redid the background music. Germany evidently hates me for splicing together the audio
-----
I loved both Megan Hilty and Katherine McPhee's versions of "Don't Forget Me", so I thought the best way to celebrate the awesomeness of both their versions is to create a fake "duet" version.
I own none of the copyrights for this and this was produced merely for entertainment purposes. Please don't hate me I love smash and I've paid plenty of $1.29s for the song so I do my part to support the genius talent at Smash!
I love how this version reminds me of Let Me Be Your Star. two beautiful women with fantastic voices, one not being better than the other, just each bringing something different to the character.
THIS IS SO FREAKING AWESOME. Individually, they are good, but combined, eargasm!
Wow...."newtonlih1985". This is a masterpiece you created. Thank you SO much.
I can't believe NBC cancelled this GREAT show. Bad move, NBC since your total ratings are so low. This was the best show on your network. Heck, it was the best show on TV.
Thanks for creating this duet version! Megan and Katharine and both amazing singers! Megan has a more powerful musical theatre voice and Katharine has a pop voice/tone. I prefer Megan Hilty's version. This duet version is really cool though! Thanks again!
best version of this song! it compromises the debate between ivy and karen..thank you so much for posting this!
I miss this!
Me too!
your welcome! I have to say I love West End productions, but the American musical has a very special place in my heart (big Sondheim and classic musical fan). It's so hard for me to get my UK friends to watch this show :-(. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see a British version of this show too.
megan and katharine both have the same sounding voice but megan has a more thicker sounding voice but they both sound AWESOME in this..that belt at 3:00 COOLNESS!!! they both delivered their own take on this song...so props to both of them...and I thought megan was gonna outshine katharine but katharine held her own and they both sound equally strong.
btw I love this "fake" duet. Much needed thanks
There is this song was a lot like the internal conflicts between Norma Jean/Marilyn. Very introspective. Thanks for doing this.
Damn, the way Katherine McPhee can hold a note is crazy awesome...her vibrato didn't creep though until the very end of that last high note.
amazing amazing amazing. in this dueto we can see that they are both incridible at their talent.. love this show, how i miss smash! I need to be on the only one night event in New York!!!
omg this is prob best thing ive heard on youtube in a while. they should close the show with this rendition. i wish i could download this.
That is quite incredible. Well done. This is the song that inspired me to watch theshow. Megan Hilty in particular is amazing, but this duet shows both girls at their best.
I think Karen is a good choice for a more innocent Marilyn, like at the beginning of her career.
But Ivy IS Marilyn and she is Bombshell.
The best songs were the duets with Karen and Ivy. They really should have done a duet of this song in the show. It would have been amazing. This is amazing!
This is really cool! I love hearing them sing together :) Thanks for doing this!
Wow. Nice job! I also listened to Megan's version, and then Katharine's version. And then Megan's again, and then Katharine's again. Damned if I know which is better! This was the perfect solution!
Goosebumps every time
MAJOR GOOSEBUMPS!
I've always loved Megan's version just because of how impressively powerful she is at the end- but I can't lie I just see Katharine as Marilyn a lot more. She gives it a lot more emotion.
For me there's an element of subtlety when it comes to Marilyn Monroe- I just couldn't picture Megan's huge belt coming from a woman who had such a famously breathy and light voice.
Thank you for doing this. It was fantastic. It really showcased their strengths. But I can't help but think that Karen's was better. It also helps to recall the shadow Marilyns during Karen's performance. I didn't like what Tom did to the ending. It wasn't as memorable. Thank again for your hard work!
Your welcome! I love the shadow Marilyn's I loved them here and in Let me be your star.
Karen = effortless
Ivy = projection
One emotes quietly like a deep well and the other fights and owns it.
It's two very different version.
Ivy has the command, presence, sorrow - very musical/theatre.
Karen just have the depth in her acting/emotions and magic in her voice.
I laconically agree with you, 'adamw2k8' but I lean towards the TV version which flashed images of the one person this song is about: the legendary Marilyn Monroe. This was quite a task 'adam' melding both voices even with good equipment. Good job. Another YTuber offered this same duet but used video and did not insert Marilyn's images. I love both Megan & KatMac but Hilty's got bigger lungs while Kat has great quality essence. They're BOTH My Marilyn!! *eyes watering up*
This edit is the best- and so helpful for a real duet! Many thanks!
Thanks for uploading!!! Both amazingly, talented ladies...*brava* and *encore* to BOTH!!
Such a great show. Why? All the good ones are taken away. Such a great duet you put together....such a show stopper...
This is so well put together ! Awesome :) As someone from England who hasn't been able to get hold of Smash to get to know the characters, I have a personal preference to Megan's version but I do acknowledge how lovely Katherine's is. And I adore this 'duet' ! :D
Literally gave me chills - thank you
Wow. Amazing job
Thank you so much - really enjoyed this!
OMG!!!!! I LOVE this as a DUET !!!!!! :D
Wow, incredible! Thank you so very much for putting both versions into one! I love them both, they are so different, why compare them. My favorite version is... this one, the duet!
I wouldn't have know that you created the duet if I hadn't read the notes while listening to it. You did a GREAT job. I've edited music to 30 second sound beds but I've never done a duet. That must take a lot of talent. Take a bow.
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!!! THEIR VOICES AR GORGEOUS TOGETHER!!!!!
This was by far the best mash up I've heard so far on RUclips. You did a great job. Many others were biased.
This sounds great as a duet! Wonderful editing. :)
I love hearing hearing them sing together. Love the way their voices blend. I
I actually really like this!
Megan Hilty is incredibly outstanding and if I could find any superlatives, I would list them here. One cannot help compare the performances of McPhee and Hilty, but in fairness to McPhee, Hilty is classically trained from Carnegie Mellon University and she is a seasoned broadway actor. Her vocal abilities are versatile and she can sing in many genres.I agree with N Lim: Megan brings the song alive in this performance.What lacked luster in Megan's studio version, this gave one the adrenalin rush
THANK YOU FOR THIS MARVELOUS VERSION!!!!!!
To "newtonlih1985":
You've done a great job! The putting together of the two voices is beautifully done... Many thanks!
Amazing! It really sounded like an original version.
...this...is...AWESOME!!!!!
yeah... but as Karen said, not even Marilyn could have done it like Ivy did. The high notes are completely in Ivy's belting range and fully supported. Karen is pushing it with these notes.
Both beautiful renditions, buts you can hear it at the very last moment how much fuller Ivy's "staaaaar" is compared to Karen's. Yes, Karen sang it more like the Marylin we know - the ditzy blonde with nothing much to say. Ivy sang it like the Marylin we never got to know. Also, Ivy's acting. Amazing.
This sounds incredible.
Now you're making me want to record with one of them singing and see if I can create a harmonious duet for Don't Forget Me. Nice concept. The editing was great!
i love it !!! it so powerful and moving.
That was beautiful!
Awesome edit! Best so far.
awww thanks Matt :-D.
great job mixing the 2 together.
i always think that Karen's version is SOULFUL, Ivy's version is more of POWER. But i prefer the soulful version. i cried many time with Karen's
This is amazing. I like Ivy's version, but I personally think Karen's is better in every way! Can you do this to Never Give All the Heart?!
I wish they could record them really singing this together with great harmonies like "Let Me Be Your Star" :)
AHHHH I LOVE ITTT
Can you do another song with these two singin it? I can't stop listening to this! I love it!
thought Megan was gonna blow Katharine out of the water on this, but I think Megan is holding back or "acting" this song and not performing this song. Katharine just knocks this out of the park.
Oh, yes. Hilty actually acts her songs - which is well beyond McPhee's abilities
I love this!!!
Thanks so much!
Great job!
Ivy's version is powerful, TOO POWERFUL, the essence of the song was gone. She suppose to BEG people not to forget her (Marilyn). She's like DON'T FORGET ME!!!! (with a gun pointing to us) and not Please, people, don't forget me, even though I'm gone, please? Karen's version is full of emotion, I can almost say that Marilyn is asking me not to forget her. It has an effect that will seep into one's heart. Derek's right, Karen has a Marilyn element which Ivy doesn't have.
They sings so Good together
newtonlih1985, Is there a way I could get the audio file for this. THIS IS AMAZING and I want to but it on my ipod.
love this!
Incredible
Vocally they were similar. But in terms of the emotion that you could see in their faces and especially in their voices - Ivy wins hands down.
AWESOME!!! :)
hey Lacy, nothing would make me happier but unfortunately there aren't more tracks where both of them are singing (if they DO release albums I would be the first to jump on it.
oh my god howd you do this it sounds so legit...
Yay! Thank You!
I wish I could buy this version
germany don't hate you, you did a great job :D i am from germany and i love it :D why did you think germany will hate you because of that? :D
Karen's version is by far the superior of the two.
LOve it!!!!!!!!!
Actually I prefer Karen's version. It make me cry, and not the Ivy' s version. But both are amazing singers.
Just beautiful! although im #teamkaren, ivy is an AMAZING marilyn
I live in Germany - I don't hate you : )
Ivy is the best!!! :)))
Estas dos actrices son excelentes
amazing
perfeito
Haha. I mean don't get me wrong, I got chills when Megan sang it as well, but I felt it more with Karen. Both are just remarkable in different ways. I just feel like this song was meant for a softer voice. But it's whatever, everyone is entitled yo their opinion haha.
If you put these 2 performers in The Voice, you can tell, Megan will be their choice. You have to show emotions, not flatness in performing. That's what broadway is all about!
are you seriously having a laugh? Katherine McPhee's voice is most certainly not auto tuned! have you ever watched her sing over the rainbow, the prayer or somewhere all of which are live! an of course there was that time on idol when Simon Cowel told her, her voice was a 10...
your welcome!
Great splicing. Well done. Do you know that the Barbra Streisand/Neil Diamond duet You Don't Bring me Flowers only became so because a dj took the two independent voices on two seven singles and spliced them together? Apparently he got squat out of it, but Babs and Neil got a fat number one.
Katherine's performance was limpid compared to Megan's as Marilyn. Megan not only brings the song alive through her awesome vocals but her expressions and gestures as well. Katherine did it like what she is; a reality show contestant.
As Much as I love Karen voice better Ivy does make a better Marilyn.
Megan Hilty has the personality to be Marilyn, but Katharine McPhee has the voice!
Megan Held The Note Longer!!
They thought they could dispose of me
They tried to make me small
I suffered each indignity
But now rise above it all
Yes, the price I paid was all I had
But at last, I found release
And if something good can come from bad
The past can rest in peace
Oh if you see someone's hurt
And in need of a hand
Don't forget me
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand
You don't forget me
When you sing happy birthday to someone you love
Or see diamonds you wish were all free
Please say that you won't;
I pray that you don't forget me
But forget every man who I ever met
'Cause they only lived to control
For a kiss they paid a thousand
Yet they paid fifty cents for my soul
They took their piece
The price of fame that no one can repay
Ah, but they didn't buy me when they bought my name
And that is why I pray
That when you see someone's hurt
And in need of a hand
You don't forget me
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand
You don't forget me
When you sing happy birthday to someone you love
Or see diamonds you wish were all free
Please say that you won't;
I pray that you don't forget me
There are some in this world who have strength on their own
Never broken or in need of repair
But there are some born to shine who can't do it alone
So protect them and take special care
Take care
And don't forget me
Please take care
And don't forget me
When you look to the heavens with someone you love
And a light shining bright from afar
Hope you see my face there
And then offer a prayer
And please let me be
Let me be that star
karen says dont forget me
iny says you dont forget me
Ivy (Megan)'s version is better because we hear her real voice (without any tune effects). Katharine's voice is autotuned :S so.... ^^' her voice is more constant because autotune make his work but autotune took the expression of her voice :S ....
There was magic and studio
I love Megan!!! but I think she abuses a little bit of her vibrato at the first half of the song, it's unnecesary, that's why I rather Katherine's first half.... but the second part it's totally for Megan. Both are awsome!!!!
Second Hand White Baby Grand?
Karen sounds a lot more like Marilyn. I LOVE THE ENDING WHEN THEY BOTH SING THE SAME NOTE❤
