Laura Bell Bundy will forever be the best Elle

laura will always be my favorite her acting and comedic timing was great in my opinion.

Can we all take a moment to give props to the ladie who sang the demo version of "So Much Better" Because that was the original key and every other recording was lowered lol

In their defense, this song is known as one of the hardest songs on Broadway.

wow the original key in the demo recording must have been hell to sing

I just can't get over some of these wigs

tbh I don't think LBB taking a breath affected the quality of the performance like she still put her heart and soul into it and it sounded great

Vocals aside, LBB is THE Elle Woods. Period. End of story. Nobody has ever been more fitting for a Broadway role. The look, the attitude, the acting, the voice, the vocals. Absolutely perfect. Reese Witherspoon found dead.

They picked the worse performances for LBB and Annaleigh. Those two make this song look easy at their best, these recordings were not the ones I would've chosen.

Nobody is going to talk about Lauren?? She was literally 20 and could sing like that!!!

Jessica Jung looks like she couldn't be bothered at all.

Kate Rockwell is a freaking star

Woah, a lot of people from the show eventually got to be Elle one way or another even with Bailey winning

THESE WEST END UNDERTSUDIES ARE AMAZING

2:21 IS KATE ROCKWELL OMG if y'all don't know, she plays Karen Smith in the new Mean Girls Broadway musical and she's SO FETCH

odd LBB took a breath...this definitely isn't her best "So much better" she can do that ending part with ease

Am I the only one who didn't hate Bailey? She's good, but Laura Bell Bundy will always be the bet

these comments: 70% how LBB is better than everyone else 14% people actually pointing out some others were decent as well 8% hating on specific singers 7% how LBB took a breath and this wasn't her best performance 1% THE WIGS

Those wigs though

"elle wood... s"

What the heck was with Rhiannons performance she gave up halfway through the note and then sung the backup singers part

LBB was extremely sick during the taping of this- she had strep throat. And still nailed it.

Hearing annaleigh sing it made me so happy

Laura bell is my favorite and will stay my favorite. She sounds the best to me.

let's all agree that if you were good enough to even be mentioned your incredible

That weird moment when community actresses and understudies in professional theaters are better than some of the leads.

i can’t even focus on some voices just because their ratty wigs are drawing my attention

If they can play Elle in almost any capacity, they are incredibly talented, not only is this song a BEAST the role of Elle Woods itself is one of the most difficult roles in theatre.

Nikki.... she lowered it... and she did weird note changes. THAT WIG

cAN WE TALK ABOUT KIM JI WOO OH MY GOD D HER LAST NOTE WAS REAL FLAT BUT HER V O CALS

Elle doing a little secret handshake with Emmett in the Dutch version is honestly so adorable

After LBB, Lauren is one of my favorites, even if she was only Elle for a few weeks. Considering she was 18 during the MTV reality show she was only 19, *maybe* 20 when she did the tour. I'm 19 now, and even though I've been performing my entire life I can't imagine being in her position. She was amazing. It is also really cool hearing the climax of this song in other languages. Props to those ladies for taking it on.

THESE UNDERSTUDIES ARE GREAT

Ashley Moniz went to my high school. She can sing like nobody's business

damn those dutch girls can sing 😮

Can we just appreciate how global this show is. The translated songs are so good too, don’t loose the original flow either. Props to them!

Rhiannon sounds as if she might’ve been a little under the weather in that recording. I understand how hard it is to go on TV when you aren’t feeling the best and just having to push through.

LBB will once again forever be my #1 queen she just struggled on the live MTV recording and we all know she can hit that note in her sleep. But I think Haven and Susan sounded fantastic as well!

Rhiannon NO NO PLEASE NAHHHH

Oh my goodness. Lower octave Elle from manila, what were you thinking? #smh

Y’all are sleeping on my girl Kerry Butler!!! She slayed it and in a higher key?! But props to all these talented ladies!!!

Rhiannon... honey... no...

Damnnn the Philippines has like the best singers and they couldn't find someone to slay that last note smh

From this video, I think Haven Burton had the vocals down but the energy and facials didn't compare to Laura Bell Bundy. Laura Bell Bundy will always just be the iconic OG Elle.

The girl in the uk who forgot the purse witb the s on it that is meeeee

6:53 bettuuuur

oh god.. rhiannon..

it's great to see that lauren and rhiannon who lost out to bailey hanks for the broadway role were able to still be recognized as elle

so many people who went on to be in kinky boots here omg

Sheridan Smith, Annaleigh Ashford, Laura Bell Bundy and Lauren Ashley Zakrin are my favorites.

Julie though at 17:40 "THAan BEeeee FOOoorreeeeeeee"

laura bell bundey is the best elle by far

Nikki Gil from Manila, you have dissapointed me and the PH fam

laura will always be my favourite but omg Susan and Sheridan are amazing!

Am I the only one who thinks havens was LITERALLY HEAVENLY? Like omg

Rhiannon wasn't even close Jesus Christ

I just realize that Karen from Mean Girls was once Elle Woods. She was pretty good. But LLB is the forever Elle.

My favourite is Sherdian Smith. I think she is the best in my opinion. I saw legally blonde with her as Elle in London and she blew me away

I personally loved Lauren Zakrin and Laura Bell and basically all the Understudys! All the u/s literally killed it!

Oo, Nikki.. Girl... You aren't supposed to sing that low hun.

UK understudies are amazing!

Kerry Butler has played every single character in every broadway show

I’m so proud of the Netherlands! The Dutch girls both killed it! So underrated

Wow! I didn't even realise that Sheridan Smith could sing.... with so many of these though I was involuntarily raising my eyebrows hoping that the last note wouldn't be so flat. For me, Kaisa Hammerlund smashed it!

Laura Bundy's got it man. But the Vienna girl was surprisingly remarkable as well.

I’m so glad they lowered it omg

Lol this was posted the opening night of my run as Elle in Salem, MA, USA.

WHAT I LOVE KERRY HOW DID I NOT KNOW SHE DID THIS edit: SAME WITH KATE ROCKWELL

Susan McFadden is soooooo good! Probably the closest sounding voice compared to LBB.

I have to give mad props (pun intended) to Laura. She sang that last part without taking a breath, and Laura has heart problems. After this song, she would run offstage a breath from an oxygen mask in order to recover from singing. Love u LBB!!!

tbh LBB will always be the superior elle to me. she just exudes energy and puts her all into the role all the while having heart problems and belting the hell out of this song eight shows a week. i honestly really wish they would do a reunion with the original cast.

Ok, here we go folks, My opions on everyone! Let me know what you think! Kerry Butler: That key though, must have been tough to sing, She killed it! LBB: I mean, she always slays, don't need to talk about her Annaleigh Ashford: I don't know how to feel about her, I don't hate her but don't like her Haven Burton: She killed it! She gave a clean performance, she was perfect Bailey Hanks: I wont say much about her... overhyped, good actress but the vocals arent on point Kate Rockwell: She was ok, not as bad as Bailey. Becky Gulsvig: I thought she was good, less nasal though! Lauren Zarkin: One of my favs after LBB and Haven up till now, I feel like she shouldve been a main broadway lead, she did great! Her runs are amazing Jessica Jung: I think she was ok, she had some pitch issues throughout the song. Kim Ji-Woo: Did better than Jessica, but didnt didnt have a wow fatcor Amy Lennox: I thought she was good, I kinda wanted more, seemed kinda basic Kathleen Montelone: Another flat-line performance, I wanted more, I feel like she could have given more Sherdian Smith: She did good, obviously a West End icon Ashley Moniz: Didnt think I would like her till she did those runs, she did great! Nikki Gil: Um..... I think we just should forget about her, The end and beginning was good Rhiannanon Hansen: After watching this..... I think I liked Nikki better... yikes with a capital Y Emma Bateman: She was good, thats about it Kim-Lan Van der Meji: She was good, I actually liked her Madelon Van der Poel: Her vocals where good, she really looked and acted the part well, one of my favs Nikki Bohne: She would have been better if she wasnt shouting, Better than the other Nikki so thats good Susan McFadden: I thought she killed it! Her vocals where really good, also one of my favs Nicola Brazil: Her vocals where good, she had great control and sustainment of notes Carley Stenson: Wanted more from her, the ending was kinda a hot mess Faye Brooks: I thought she did good! I thought her twist she put on the ending made her stand out Kasia Hammarlaund: I was suprised! She did good, Up there with Laura, Haven, Laruen, Madelon and Susan Gemma Sutton: She was ok, nothing that made me like her more than others Sarah Daniel: Her run was good, I just think the audio was a little unfortunate, cant blame her Sophie Isaacs: I thought she was good, A clean performance Erin Sullivan: Nothing new we havent seen before Emma Degerstedt: Same with Erin, nothing new Leigh Emery: I cant decide, the raspiness kinda kills me, and that band Maggie Taylor: Clean peformance, again, too nasally Lucy Durack: If Britney Spears was Elle Woods, I picture this. I didnt like it Taylor Tracey: Nothing we seen before, her sustained note was a little pitchy and she kinda gave up in the end Jung Eun-Ji: She was ok Barbara Obermiester: Shes up there with the favs! She had lots of power and energy Juile Baird: There where moments I liked and stuff I didnt, Overall she was ok, but she had lots of energy and was a good actor, I can tell her breath support isnt the best (but hey, mines isnt either, so I understand) Alyssa Gorgone: The fact they where perfoming in a mall with basic mics, I thought she did great! Leanine Smith: She was so good! Those couple of tweaks made her really stand out and made the performance great Lucie Jones: She was good, she was on time with the music.. Thats about it Favs: LBB, Haven Lauren, Ashley, Madeolen Faye, Kasia, Susan, Barbra, Leanine Hates: Lucy, Nikki, Rhiannon, Bailey

I love all but especially Kerry, she always sounds so healthy and flawless

Actually I liked the Lucie Jones rendition towards the end; the hottest was Barbara Obermeier from Vienna; the Blonde Wig Award, however, goes to the one from Manila - that was a sight to behold.

Don't get me wrong, I love me some Laura Bell Bundy, but she was really straining a lot of the time she sung this and you could hear how tired her voice was. I do think that there were some really good ones in here, Haven Burton, Amy Lennox, Ashley Moniz, Emma Bateman, etc. Anyway, I definitely don't think she was the best at this song, but the best at the role overall👍

how come most of the understudies are better

yaaaas Annaleigh as Elle!! 😍

Nikki Gil was miscasted.

Laura will always be the best

I saw Amy Lennox in London and OMIGOD she was amazing! My personal fave😘

I absolutely love Kerry and Annaleigh💗

Susan McFadden, you better sing!

My favourites.....♥️ Susan McFadden, Leanne Smith, Sophie Isaacs, Nicola Brazil, Ashley Moniz, Becky gulsvig, Amy Lennox, Emma Bateman and Lucie Jones

Haven Burton and Becky Gulsvig were already my favorites and from this video I was also wowed by Susan McFadden and Barbara Obermeier

Love how all the rejects from “The Next Elle Woods” showed up lol

im sorry but the us national tour actresses from before 2010 were basically singing out of their noses :/// they sounded so nasally aaaah

anyone here for bailey but then got a happy surprise to see rhiannon got there eventually 🥰🥰 even if she wasn’t very good haha

OMG Kate and Kerry both from mean girls!

Quite seriously what has Kerry Butler NOT done? She is my absolute idol.

Lauren Zakrin is actually my favorite Elle actress when she sings

omggg Kate Rockwell plays Karen Smith on Mean Girls Broadway!

Laura Bella Bundy is the queen of legally blonde

This is my life now. Watching 20 mins of Broadway belting of Wicked, Hamilton, and Legally Blonde

My top 3 are definitely Laura Bell Bundy, Susan McFadden and Lucy Durack (Australian pride :3)

I appreciate the understudies being excited about getting to perform and really going for that last note.

8:13 that's so cute they had an Emmet and Elle scene and a new handshake 🥺🥺

I saw Lucie Jones live and she’s phenomenal. All respect and praise to the others, but Lucie Jones holds a special place in my heart

Am I the only one that realised almost all the girls from that Elle woods reality tv show got to play Elle at some point

The note that the korean version sang in 3:53 was pretty amazing tbh

not enough love here for Lucie Jones, that girls got PIPES
