pro tip : watch series on Kaldrostream. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.

@Tomas Gibson Yea, have been watching on KaldroStream for months myself :D

It's a shame that Carrie Underwood's compelling vocal and dramatic characterization of Maria has been unfavorably compared with that of Julie Andrews by a great many people. I'd love to see Carrie try her hand at other musical plays in the future.

@@allenjones3130 meh carrie was ok.. but Julie Andrews has a very.. commanding aura around her.. just not getting the same vibes from her.. and her personality in the songs i watched on youtube is kinda... bland.

Lucy Whittle My first thought while watching this was, “Why is Maria so angry with the children?”

@@kaniamia mine too

Definitely

That’s because she might’ve projected her voice too much. Actors and actresses are naturally taught to basically yell at every word they say, as ‘too quiet’ might lead to the audience not hearing anything they say. This might’ve lead to her small aggression.

Besides, there might be too much choreo...

Except for Lonely Goatherd, right? Both Julie Andrews and Mary Martin got enthusiastically loud as the song went on. It actually showed off Martin's vocal ability, as she was usually very timid in her singing and barely sustained notes for a period of time.

chill.

Exactly and especially not at the beginning

This was done in front of a live audience so obviously you had to project which may sound loud to those unaware of stage productions. If you ever seen a musical live then you would know the singing has to be loud to reach the back rows of the venue. Remember these people are not in front of a microphone singing.

@@kekwayblaze3176 yes but they do have surrounding mics and theres a difference between singing loud and sing like that lol. But ive only been in 2 musicals so who am i to judge.

Yes! U are so right:))

It is Sophia Anne Caruso, she was 11 in this!! 💚

I JUST NOTICED THAT AND NOW I'M HAVING A CRISIS

I didn’t recognize her either tbh...

Yes that’s her :)

Yeah she was the perfect person for the role!

Julie Andrews wasn’t live…

Carrie did ok. She just wasn’t great at acting. They were smart in putting all the really strong actors in around her to make her acting look better than it was. However, call me crazy but recently I was thinking Mandy Moore would have been a great person to play Maria in this version of Sound of Music. great actress and singer.

@@lauraschoenborn3544 I watch the extra special of making of "Sound Of Music" and Carrie surprised all of veteran actors Carrie was working. Somebody did suggest Mandy Moore for Maria and they said no thanks. According to Stephen, Carrie didn't need any mentoring from other actors at all. He said Carrie knew her lines and knew exactly what to do.

@@staycurious644 and if she was it'd still be infinitely better than whatever this is

I agree. Her voice is great for her own style of music. But I always said that she shouts too much. Then again that's how most people sing today. They use auto tune like crazy on their mics. There's no need to have a voice that's naturally fine tuned anymore.

Easy. It’s Live

Totally agree with what you said!

ok but carrie is portraying the CHARACTER maria that’s who she’s supposed to be not the real life one. she could have been a bit more soft and gentle because thats how the CHARACTER is in the movie. i agree that she did a great job tho!

I mean, Real Maria and Stage Maria are two different people so....

Well Julie Andrews Belted in this song too, just not the whole time like Carrie. I think what everyone means is that she does it too aggressively. She's not voice acting, she's just singing, because her voice isn't trained to do musical theater like Julie Andrew's voice is. I think she does great in the parts where's she's meant to belt, but belting the entire song isn't the way it's me at to be sung. That's why people think it sounds off. And Carrie is also singing live and she's been trained to belt when she sings live, she's never done live musical theater especially something that's so particular to the way characters are supposed to sound. So I understand why people think it doesn't sound as good, because she doesn't but that's not necessarily a terribly bad thing, it's just that Julie Andrews clearly embodied the character better than Carrie cuz she's more experienced in this field.

What no Carrie is amazing what do you mean

Ikr I was so surprised when I saw her!

Carrie did great. Remember what Jesus said "they hate you, because of me"

@@RE-ve7no it's not a matter of how good she is

It's just that she is a country music artists and a good one she's just not Julie Andrews, no one is, so it's hard not to compare the two, and there are some of us that find anyone else wanting

I didn’t know what layed in store besides hearing these iconic songs and seeing this beautiful story being reborn. And I agree

Anne Hathaway would have been a superb choice, I'd love to see her doing it instead of this "just heard I was burgled and they ate my cat my blood is boiling but the show must go on" rendition

Anne Hathaway was not interested as she wanted to much money as she had gust won an Oscar also it is said that she is hard to work with it was said that got into a fight with one of her costars because the dress that the she was wearing to the Oscars was to much like the one that was going to ware, she wanted her to change the dress but would not and so Ann wore another dress.

Anne may be a superb actress but she's lightyears behind Carrie in terms of singing.

@@CountryCowboy008 uhm, no, she's not. I know you're a fanboy, 'you cant critize her until you can make it better', 'she is so much better than XY', but no, neither of that is true. Carrie might be good at her genre, whatever that might be, but she's not good at musicals. Anne is good at musicals, where you need to convey different emotions, but I guess she'd fail at metal or opera. Just because you like Carrie better doesn't mean she's the overall better singer. That's not how that works.

@@dude988 “whatever that may be” hahaha you think you can foul Carrie’s impressive music career by being snide and snobbishness? She’s a better singer than Anne, obviously, since Anne cannot make a career out of her singing abilities. Carrie has been recognised by notable and significant people in the music industry since she debuted, while Anne only did one good musical and that’s it.

Typically, it isn't performed with English accents, because the story takes place in Austria, not the UK.

@@serenitysfirefly But it is with a English accent 😂

@@rainbowkitten8990 What are you referring to?

Lies again? MLS CUP Know Malay

You are so snob

Very american

Shes american what do you expect?

@@kithand1106 for her to act Austrian

same remark applies to siera bogges in Phantom of Opera.

don shen Sierra’s songs are much harder so sometimes she does fall into her American accent. But Carrie she is too “pop” in this. Carrie sorta opens her mouth in a way that’s mainly used by singers like Kelly Clarkson or Jenifer Hudson. When Carrie says her lines are all in a American accent. She needs to learn how to switch up her style of singing if she wants to be on broadway. Sierra’s voice fits the musical’s she is put in. Not saying the Carrie’s voice is not good but I don’t think it is fitting for this musical. But Sierra is trained in Opera and Musical Theater.

My first thought when I watched it was "why is everyone shouting?" I get that projecting your voice is a thing but it feels so harsh in this.

Glad my household weren’t the only ones thinking it was shouty

Thank you!! I love Julie and her voice suits marias airyness. When you describe Maria this isn't the voice you picture. Cheerful, Clumsy, Curious, optimistic, stubborn, honest. Those are what you associate with Maria.

Agreed

I wasn’t necessarily talking about the children. Carrie Underwood is shout singing and I didn’t shout sing when I was a child :P I was taught how to sing properly :D

I saw her in an interview talking about that. That was interesting, but being a soprano, she was perfectly capable. She definitely did it perfectly. Carrie did it pretty good too. In my opinion, Julie Andrews can never ever be surpassed in this role. :-)

@@jacobbump1282 Ikr

I remember her Movies Rock performance! And that’s why I had to watch this

it's because the have a hate agenda and this was there first stop.

Sis still cashed the check though 😉😌

It's just an acting. They told her to be kinda agressive. Atleast she has the voice.

Because she's used to be the center of attention and doesn't know how to tone it down when appropriate to do so.

ALWs involvement in the series is over - it‘s all Universal now.

Have you ever seen this on stage, or any musical on stage? It’s not like film acting whatsoever.

Yeah, but she's just a singer. She's not a trained actress.

@@CherryFrog321 Exactly and we should remember she was selected more for her singing ability. After all it is a live musical. Funny, no one has complimented the cast on being on point with no mistakes in this scene.

HORHAYY10 People are acting like Maria von Trapp had the same English accent as Julie Andrews.

The only critique I have is that they don’t have german accents But also Julie Andrews is one of the best actors in my opinion so that’s a good trade-off.

Did Julie do a live action like Carrie?

Maddison Cann She’s just projecting

She is a brilliant actor Go carrie Underwood

She is not used to it. She has never been on Broadway. :/

2 words: West End :)

Yes soft projection.

Same...I had my exams going on 😭

Me too, shattered

It was only shown for the UK. You can search the internet for the full production. Just need to add "2013", so you don't get mixed up with other versions.

The only good Live! Every other live was...Garbage

@@sharpaycutie2 I like this version, but I disagree that it is the best live. The Sound of Music live 2015 on ITV with Kara Tointon and Julian Ovenden is better in my opinion and the costumes more accurate. That one is fantastic ☺️

he’s only posting andrew lloyd webber musicals lmao

@@gray7428 They were - they've stopped. You're on a Sound Of Music video. The Musical was composed in the 1950s so unless Andrew Lloyd Webber was composing this massively successful musical at the age of 10, I doubt he had much to do with it.

He produced the stage show

Bediebys Star well isn’t stage show

Max Jones obviously he didn’t compose the music, but he produced this and the stag show

Ooooo, yes please!

Mamma Mia would be great!

I so agree with you on that!

I'd like to see you try. How about that? :-)

ikr!

Which one is she?

The one with the most lines

2:26

She plays Brigitta, the 5 child, 3rd youngest girl.

Fs fs, Sophia is the best

It was on tv tonight so you'll get It on playback

I agree that she got the notes right and sang it well, but it doesn't change the fact that she sounded a bit too aggressive as Maria

Well i find her good. I am really not a fan of hers but i like her as Maria

Even if she got the notes correct, that still doesn’t mean she has the right voice for maria

@@Yes-nv2uy Not that she doesn't HAVE "the right voice" for Maria, but that she simply CHOSE to tweak it in parts and incorporate some of her OWN stylistic choices as opposed to making it a complete carbon-copy of the Julie Andrews version. Who's to say what "the right voice" is for Maria, anyway? Julie's wasn't even the original. It just so happened that she was cast as Maria in the film adaptation, and her versions of the songs became the most recognized. What if Julie hadn't been cast, though? What if she had done the Broadway version, and Mary Martin had starred in the film adaptation? That would have created a very different perspective as to what "the right voice for Maria" sounded like. But regardless, Carrie could have easily sang the entire thing in a lighter, more delicate, forwardly-placed head-voice mix - In fact, that would have made it much easier on her, since her chosen approach actually requires more extensive use of glottal muscle, because she is essentially pulling the notes directly from her throat instead of resonating in the head or the mask. It's much easier to execute a C5 (ie. you can sing most anYYYYYYYYYYthing) in a gentle head-mix tone like Julie did than belting it out like Carrie chose to. Especially on that particular vowel. The highest notes, Carrie still did in her head voice though, like the final high B-flat at the end of this song. So yes as a natural soprano, Carrie can very easily access that part of her voice. But it simply isn't her general style, and she wanted to retain most of her signature sound instead of copying a style that she isn't known or recognized for. Carrie said herself that the voice training she received for the role was far from rigorous, as it was almost exclusively geared toward eliminating some of the country twang in her voice, since she wanted to be respectful to the original in that regard. Point blank, period. Julie's vocal performance on that soundtrack is NOT difficult to reproduce. Let's keep it real. It was a typical, run-of-the-mill, Disney princess-level vocal. I actually preferred the more burly quality of Carrie's belt. Made Maria seem a bit stronger and more forceful.

@@xtinafan06 I see. Well, that does provide more perspective on your thought process. I personally wasn't too fond of carries performance in this, but I respect your opinion and train of thought. I just thought she sounded rather aggressive for Maria's character, while yes there's no problem that Julie chose to sing that way, it just seemed ill fitting for a character like marie, who's supposed to be flighty and gentle. Thats just my opinion though, and I understand what you mean

Elena Gorba You can buy it as a DVD.

Yeah they took Maria the complete wrong way. She was trying to help them have fun.
