You can find Barrett’s other (imo even more impressive) performance from this show here: • Barrett Wilbert Weed s... The Green Room 42, November 26, 2018
I completely agree with people saying that she should give her vocal cords a break, however, if you had vocal cords like that, you probably wouldn’t WANT to stop singing. But I see how both sides are good points
*smart people in this comment section:* Barrett is amazing, but you can tell her voice is damaged, her H sharps aren't what tehy used to be and she can barely hit that R7. *me, a simpleton:* she has big voice. it pretty.
@@Caroline-le8gm yeah they're not that was just my way of showing how I no nothing about music. All I think of this cover is that a hot lady makes pretty noises
Bia it actually takes a lot of work. After you sing a song like this you’re supposed to feel like you did 6 sets of crunches because of how hard your diaphragm is working. In vocal competitions you’re supposed to make it look effortless so it will train you if you choose to pursue music so I’m guessing she’s done vocal competitions and trained herself like that
She is beautiful She can sing She's amazing She has bling She is wonderful She can dance She is belt-er-ful All of the time She is all of this baked up in a wonderful pie. She is Barret weed and I wish she were mine
1. This is beautiful. I nearly cried. 2. Although it’s so sweet that people are worried about her voice and I’m sure there are genuine reasons for concern, don’t forget that she is a Broadway star! She’s probably surrounded by vocal coaches and a lot of people who have a vested interest in her voice continuing to stay as beautiful as it is. Of course she needs to be careful with it, but I’m sure she knows what she’s doing!
Barrett is like my all time QUEEN. But the vocal fry and her sort of loss of belt technique frightened me a little. She has such a genuinely beautiful and full, amazing belt voice and this just sounded like it hurt??? Some parts were absolutely stunning. But, I feel like this could have been better supported????? Idk just a learning MT major analyzing technique! Ignore me if you need!
Sophia Rizzo Barrett has an amazing voice but she has never had great technique. She could benefit from some coaching or the poor girl is gonna end up destroying her voice
i've always wanted to play veronica in a revival version but it seems so scary and risky bc (i love barrett i swear but example) of what happened to barrett.. i'd be ok if it was only for a couple performances tho
her head voice is beautiful. wasn’t living for the belting {yelling}. i love barrett and i think she holds her own. deff one of a kind. i just wish her placement was different. ♥️
Whynotdream yea i agree i usually love her belting but sometimes she sounds like she’s straining... but u know every performance could have a story behind it like sickness or tiredness or nervousness or allergies. i love when her placement is rlly forward, like her lower notes. in this vid yeah i agree about the belting but i also recognize she doesn’t always sing like that
sooper salad sooper salad i agree. as a performer myself, nerves and sometimes vocal condition plays a role in how our voice sounds. she definitely had talent there is no question about that. forward placement is beautiful:)
Now that Waitress is closing, I’ve been binging videos and covers. Barrett would have made such an amazing Jenna. Barrett’s voice is stunning!!! She has so much talent and makes it seem so effortless!!! Barrett is a true queen! RIP Waitress.
Let's stop and admire her amazing gifted voice when she reaches those notes... after rewatching about 10 times who now is thinking about make this Veronica Sawyer's version through an animatic? ... Just me? Okay, we love you Barrett keep being incredible 👌❤
Wow. Just wow. Not only did those high notes give me chills I was litterally crying, this is a beautiful songs and a beautiful performance of it, I would give anything to have heard it live. Again, wow!
Barrett is not unhealthy. She was taught to belt in a very safe and healthy way. If I see one more comment calling her “unhealthy” or saying “she won’t have a voice in a few years” I’m gonna come for someone! Barrett has said she learned to Belt in a healthy way! I think a real fan should just trust her and support her unconditionally!! Even if she was singing in an unhealthy way which she is not! But if she was it is none of your business!! Leave Barrett alone!! She is happy and she has a wonderful career and wonderful family, friends and fans who support her and her music!! Now if you could all politely shove off!! And yes I am aware that I am gonna get backlash for defending Barrett! But if you were a REAL fan you would never say “she is unhealthy” or “it won’t last” because you have no idea in how amazing and powerful Barrett is! Sorry for my rant!! ☺️
Just the fact that all she had to do to express the emotions of the song was to stand and sing is a amazing! Its so hard for people to do that!!!! props to Barrett!!!!!!
although she’s is phenomenal in mean girls and heathers it’s crazy how unhealthy she is. this no hate at all but i just feel like everyone is cheering her on to not have a voice in a few years for how much she is pushing herself currently.
Exactly! That being said, I also think that even though she sounded beautiful on the soft parts, there are some songs that just aren’t meant to be sung by some people. This and defying gravity weren’t her best at all. Not to say she’s not talented, but her voice just doesn’t work on every type of song
Lindy Martin I’m not a professional by any means but from what I can tell Not all of technique is unhealthy but her belts, while they are powerful, aren’t supported and come straight from her throat. So as she continues to sing, the damage is gonna build up and she’s gonna lose her voice. Especially since her roles are so vocally demanding. A healthy belt should really come from your diaphragm with some head voice mixed in to take off some of the strain. You also need to have a lot of air and support. Her head voice doesn’t necessarily have bad technique but you can tell that it’s untrained and needs work. I don’t think she’s a bad singer by any means, I think that she just needs help with technique. And I love her renditions of Veronica and Janis.
Zandra Jones of course!!! We singers gotta help each other out. I sang this song for an audition and I got in!!! Unfortunately I had to change my song because it was “too sad” but it’s fine because I sang On My Own from Les Miserables which was a great song too!!!
@@jenn4368 YOU'RE JOKING! Last year I performed On My Own! Although, I hardcore messed up the second verse. But that's crazy! On another note, I was practicing this song today and I destroyed my throat lol.
Zandra Jones OMG REALLY!!!??? That’s amazing!!! Also trust me before going up I was SO scared bc at all the dress rehearsals we did, I kept forgetting the 3rd verse bc it’s so similar to the 4th verse and sometimes I would forget the lyrics and I was just freaking out right before going up. I was literally rereading EVERY single lyric. Thankfully everything turned out great!! Also trust me I remember when I first started singing that song I couldn’t belt what so ever...thankfully I learned a bit after a while.
![Finesse2Tymes - Pretty Ricky [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/xIoP_mhYRT0/mqdefault.jpg)
The fact that she can stand there so casually and crank out that power and those notes!!! Aagghhh!! A goddess and a serious inspiration.
It's not that hard XDDD
Omg! Please get this woman in a role who isnt in highschool
Char Joudrey she needs to be dawn in waitress again! too bad its closed 🥺🖐
Elphaba in Wicked or Meg in Hercules
She was in alot of musicals already lol
Maya Amber yeah lmao as a hs student
@@katomic_bomb4655 i think they meant that she needs to be in a musical were she doesn't play a high school student
i swear every time i get obsessed with a song, barrett covers it a week later
I just listened to waitress for the first time a couple weeks ago I've been blessed with proper timing
I'm going to perform this song today and I literally just saw this. How?!!
Omg fucking samee. Singing this in a school concert next week week 😂
Kenzie Bye agreed
WE NEED MORE HEAD VOICE BARRETT
Was expecting vocal damage, I was so pleasantly slapped in the face with talent.
tbh I think people overestimate how "bad" her voice has gotten. Sure she doesn't sound like she did in Heathers, but she's still a powerhouse.
AceNerd YOU TELL THEM
@@misssupercookie2011 yeah I think I did overestimate it.
The cover I didn’t know I needed till now
I completely agree with people saying that she should give her vocal cords a break, however, if you had vocal cords like that, you probably wouldn’t WANT to stop singing. But I see how both sides are good points
It's at times like this I remember she played Dawn in the workshop for Waitress in 2014!!!!
WAIT WHAT?!??? SHE WAS DAWN??
@@chazofalsa She also did Zoe for the Dear Evan Hansen workshop!
I high-key would love to see her play Dawn.
Holy shit I would love to see that and what also Zoe hunnyyyyy
@@michaelallison3411 read this as hikey-dikey would like to see her as dawn. It made me even more excited
*smart people in this comment section:* Barrett is amazing, but you can tell her voice is damaged, her H sharps aren't what tehy used to be and she can barely hit that R7.
*me, a simpleton:* she has big voice. it pretty.
That is so me :)
Me barely knowing anything about singing 😂
H sharps R7?? these aren't real notes right?
@@Caroline-le8gm yeah they're not that was just my way of showing how I no nothing about music. All I think of this cover is that a hot lady makes pretty noises
AceNerd ok 😂😂
I feel like this is the best I’ve heard her. Her softer notes are so pretty and so clear
She makes it look so effortless....HOW???
Bia it actually takes a lot of work. After you sing a song like this you’re supposed to feel like you did 6 sets of crunches because of how hard your diaphragm is working. In vocal competitions you’re supposed to make it look effortless so it will train you if you choose to pursue music so I’m guessing she’s done vocal competitions and trained herself like that
My wig flew down the street
Waitress is my favorite musical, I feel like it’s so overlooked
Darcy Jane It tragically came out the same year as Hamilton, or it would have picked up numerous Tonys.
I GASPED WHEN I SAW THE TITLE
my ears are unworthy of hearing this
rooisnotcool I don’t think any of us are worthy of this.
i never knew i needed Barrett to play Jenna but now that i do I NEED ITTT
I'M GAY I'M GAY I'M GAY I'M GAY I'M GA-

she needs to do her belting better or maybe it’s the belt that she’s wearing 😂
Whynotdream umm belting is not yelling 🙈🤦🏽♀️😜
Mama Maya I think they mean that she was straining her voice while belting, resulting in what sounded like yelling
The piano accompaniment is gorgeous on this
A girl in my class sang this and it made me cry, shes so amazing and I'll be sad to see her graduate next year. This brought back memories 😭
im literally crying over a song what has my life come to like its 2am
There's my alto queen!!
Mia Torres she’s a mezzo!
@@Bethanymsings13_ woah, i didnt know that, from her range she sounded like an alto
I think she’s a Mezzo, but if you separate it into soprano and alto, she’d be an alto
yea she’s a mezzo but she can belt up to a G#5
@@veronicasarkisian8314 she can actually belt higher! the highest belt recorded of her is a B5, but i'm sure she can belt higher.
i started tearing up. oh my god her voice gives me chills
Now that Waitress is closing, I’ve been binging videos and covers. Barrett would have made such an amazing Jenna. Barrett’s voice is stunning!!! She has so much talent and makes it seem so effortless!!! Barrett is a true queen! RIP Waitress.
wow two of my favorite things married into one performance. feelin blessed rn
Can Barrett PLEASE be Elphaba in the Wicked movie???
no comment for how attacked I am by my goddess voice
I NEED THIS RIGHT NOW
THIS IS A PERFECT COMBO
Shes honestly the best ive heard sing this song!!!!
@Memyselfandkai :/ I agree. I wasn't that much of a fan with this cover imo, still love her though!
I think I felt some tears-
chills for 3 minutes and 43 seconds straight
Let's stop and admire her amazing gifted voice when she reaches those notes... after rewatching about 10 times who now is thinking about make this Veronica Sawyer's version through an animatic?
...
Just me? Okay, we love you Barrett keep being incredible 👌❤
What can't this woman sing? Incredible!
0:43 this is amazing and u cant deny it.. her head voice is amazing
I’m crying, this is my favourite broadway artist and one of my most favourite song😭😭
omg one of my favorite actresses singing one of my favorite songs😍😍😍
*im straight im straight im straight im straight im straight im strai-*

mE TOO
nAni?
i also love legally blonde ;)

Wow. Just wow. Not only did those high notes give me chills I was litterally crying, this is a beautiful songs and a beautiful performance of it, I would give anything to have heard it live. Again, wow!
the “gets used” sounded so good onmg
As much as I love her chest and belting voice, please someone make her sing in her head voice 😩😩😩😩
This song + Her voice= OMG T_T i'm dying in tears 💖💖.
i still love this song and barrett so much
Same
It's a dream come true that Barrett's covering my favorite songs from my other fave Bway shows, first Requiem then this! 😍 I luv her SO MUCH ❤💙❤
she didnt just cover requiem, she was the Zoe in the workshop!! :)
@@Danisnotonfore She was Dawn in the Waitress Workshop!!
@@williamfitzhugh8332 Im so proud of her awww
@@Danisnotonfore I honestly wondered what DEH or Waitress would have been like if she stayed! I'm glad she's got Mean Girls though!
William Fitzhugh I’ve thought the same, id love to see her put a really unique spin on those characters, she’s a perfect fit for Janice atm 😊
Chills.

Sometimes i think about how amazing Barrett's voice is..
This is really nice, I love how soft she is at the beginning, a lovely cover!
I. Have. Been. Waiting. For. This.
I never knew I needed this so badly.
this is one of my favourite cover performances from her. she's so gorgeous and her voice is so gorgeous and just *ahhhhhhhh* 💕
my voice teacher is making me memorize and now i see that she’s sang it! yay!
Absolutely love Barrett !!! She slays at all of her roles and her voice is just so beautiful and unique
we don't deserve Barrett ㅠㅠ ♡
Wig. In. Orbit.
god she’s so perfect
I'm just gonna sit here in the dark and cry about how amazing she is and how good her voice makes me feel.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 beautiful Barrett
I CHOKED ON AIR WHEN I SAW THIS
I like this slightly edgier vocal. Belting out a top harmony above this is so much fun especially with a bit more dirt on it.
How TF! can she just stand there so casually and belt like that? Give me your secrets
Zara Mcbride This is good, but how can she stand there so casually and belt like THIS: ruclips.net/video/CP8-BQUUGJ4/видео.html
OMG that performance is ICONIC!
Zara Mcbride pretty sure wigs flew off as far as Seattle.
I had chills throughout
ughhh Barrett is so awesomeeeeeee 💓 waitress is one of my favorite shows, I'm so happy that my favorite artist sung something from itttt!!!
She is such an amazing talent and that riff at 3:01 is beautifully executed.
BARRETT IS A QUEEN!!!!
This is everything.
Her voice is so perfect
Just the fact that all she had to do to express the emotions of the song was to stand and sing is a amazing! Its so hard for people to do that!!!! props to Barrett!!!!!!
This is everything I’ve ever wanted😭❤️
How can a human sound so perfect? Answer: Barrett can't possibly be human... She is queen
She needs to be in Waitress when she's done with Mean Girls
Why do I always get knots in the pit of my stomach when I hear her sing a song for the first time?! I think I get so excited that I’m just in awe
This is sooo good!! It’s so much better than her rendition of requiem
Ooo wait, what’s going on with her upper register belts though?
Jack L. Gansner Look at vid of the song she sang before this one (Machjne Gun) - I’m kinda surprised she had anything left in the tank after that!
Also, as both a pianist and vocalist, the accompaniment is just as beautiful as the song!
although she’s is phenomenal in mean girls and heathers it’s crazy how unhealthy she is. this no hate at all but i just feel like everyone is cheering her on to not have a voice in a few years for how much she is pushing herself currently.
Anakin White agreed. She’s not supporting her sound she’s just screaming at this point you can hear how unhealthy it is!
THANK YOU SM FOR SAYING SOMETHING. I was afraid to say something cause her stans are literally insane?
Exactly! That being said, I also think that even though she sounded beautiful on the soft parts, there are some songs that just aren’t meant to be sung by some people. This and defying gravity weren’t her best at all. Not to say she’s not talented, but her voice just doesn’t work on every type of song
Curious, what’s so unhealthy about her technique?
