HER voice sounded kind of forced in some parts.

@@hazelnutjam3382 On the contrary, she just added some soul to the song and she sounded as relaxed as she can never forcing the notes...

I love HER but she needed to pull back the r&b vocals

I think her voice is a little to deep for the role .

she seem flat. if they wanted diversity their other better black singers that are better

He does he said one of those remarkable voices

❤ Definitely!!

Robby Benson?

That's what I love so much about this! ❤️🌷

@@birdie3rdie yeah. His voice is amazing

😂

She really be giving those flirty DTF eyes 😂

It gives "There's something there that wasn't there before" a whole new meaning.

I am cackling 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

😂

agreed except the royalty part. being wed to a prince does make you a princess

Im so sorry but I can't keep a straight face when the beast is dancing with the birds 🤣😭😭😭

This is probably my favorite part of the whole thing the birds running around and laughing and teasing the beast. This is a really good tribute to beauty and the beast.

she would have been a much better cast than trying to capitalize on a hogwarts alumni

Oooo a change in me would have been sickening fr 🫢

Did she slay it? LOL Atleast Josh has a background in acting & theater. It's not all about how she sounds (though a limited range) they need to actually act too.

@@RandomHouze Thank you! Someone with actual sense.

@@RandomHouze she did well and her vocals are great

@RandomHouze I have to disagree entirely about her limited range, just based on the Beauty and the Beast clips I'm seeing (not familiar with her work). She doesn't have a limited vocal range, she's just not a regular soprano. Pretty sure she's mezzo. Either that or she's like Josh Groban and lands in between two categories. She admittedly isn't *super* strong on emoting via face, but really she's about the same as most new ingenues. Plus the emotion in her voice more than makes up for it imo.

Sounded more like nails on a chalk board

@@JillLogue and she is black.

@@IsraelNowIsraelForever Tell us how you really feel. 😂

She's good but I'd rather the original

@@IsraelNowIsraelForever *mixed

No H.E.R. ruined Belle they should of got Hailey to do this too that was the worst version of Belle I have ever seen

Her voice is strong, and amazing, it matches Josh's perfectly.

@@patriniacopeland6891 yes her voice is strong BUT it is lacking that princess type voice, I kept waiting for it even Emma Watson did it well and she not the best singer. Not hating for shaming but I grew up with that type of voice in my head so I was waiting for it go happen. Josh has that voice we are all familiar with as the beast, it’s nostalgic.

@@JYYB I get what you mean, it’s the “princess lilt “ Disney has made us accustomed to but she didn’t need it… Sometimes we have to get out of our own heads to appreciate new things

Do you guys think it may be because she isn’t singing in that normal high pitch voice that we hear princesses sing? I feel like Disney does this thing where most of their princesses have a high picture voice to give them that dainty feel of a princess they lead us all to believe was a corner stone of being a princess? I’m purely asking what you all think to see if it is something someone else has noticed.

Her voice was so autotuned that i haven’t watch the movie since 2017, at least HER knows How to sing

Same! My most favorite Cinderella was Brandi.

Listen to Evermore in the love action. Dan Steven did a better job.

Reminds me a bit of the Brandy/Whoopi Goldberg Cinderella

But where's Belle?

It's a short but sweet song too

Josh Groban is in the puppet costume! No other puppeteers are in it!

It’s funny though, the Beast puppet does sort of remind me of one of the puppets in The Lion King because it’s done in this Bunraku style (Bunraku for those of you who don’t know is a Japanese style of puppetry where the performer is visible onstage) and this is the style that the puppets in The Lion King are done in. Another interesting fact about The Lion King puppets is that none of them are operated by trained puppeteers,(at least compared to say the people who work with the Muppets.) They are just actors who are trained to operate the puppets in a way that looks convincing enough (which if you think about it is exactly what Josh Groban is doing here, he’s operating the puppet pretty well considering he’s had limited time to learn how to use it.) I think it would be neat to one day have a Broadway revival of Beauty and the Beast that used puppets. They sort did that for a Disney cruise line adaptation of the 2017 remake, I think it would be a cool way to depict the small scale of the enchanted objects and the massive size of the Beast, but also preserve the humanity that these characters have.

You should check out the puppetry work for the tiger in the Life of Pi musical! I believe the puppeteers won a tony for their work or some similar award

@@RosesNightengales shout out to Josh!

Amazing

And whoever came up with Belle’s dress for this version! The live action movie’s version of the dress was kinda underwhelming, imo.

@Oncer Girl Oh yes! I loved the costumes too! 😍

Bruh

@@lona9461 I'm not a "Bruh" I'm a girl, thank you.

The voices, the costumes, the acting...

Josh was so cute with the kids!!

He sung Evermore for the credits of the live action tho

I just saw it on Disney plus

Its been on there! Lol

It's only available on US Disney+ currently.

What country are you in? There is a holdback

It'll be available in Canada this Friday on disney

This isn’t the Broadway musical. In fact sadly not a single song written for the Broadway musical was in this version and several characters were cut… not to mention all the lip-synching that didn’t line up with the pre-recorded tracks. 😢 It was pretty to look at tho.

Belle is black in this one

@@cloudambient *mixed

In this one she's black

@@cloudambient She may be black but she can't sing like Belle EPIC FAILURE ON HER PART

She's mixed.

In this one, Belle is black.

Live action was amazing! Just didn’t meet your standards!

@@SquareBox-gy5yl nope the live action was terrible. Mostly bc of the Emma Watson casting. She used her British accent, she made costume designers change her dress and it ended up looking bad, she isn’t really that great of a singer like she’s not terrible but they should’ve casted someone who excels at singing and doesn’t need to rely on the support of autotune bc it’s a fricking musical

@@SquareBox-gy5yl I agree. The live action was awesome. I liked it. Emma Watson was fun to watch

@@silklavender nah she was great and fit the character perfectly

@@disneygirl4life675 exactly, such a good casting for Belle

Say it again for the people in the back

Hailey sings better than HER and it was nails on a chalk board

@@JillLogue you're all over here hatin',
