Crazy that this touches me 😢

I absolutely love watching clips of Sondheim and Ashman at work directing their actors. They have a very specific vision in their mind of what they want, and they encourage the actor to help them make it happen

I'm doubly sure she was reminiscing over this experience while serving as a random shopkeeper in the marketplace scene of that particular installment of the so-called "live action remake" trend Disney has been going through for the past fourteen years as of now! Man, time's really flying!

너무좋다....😢😢😢

Why was everything better before

He directed a classic

I’ve been singing this song since before I can remember -out loud, in my head, when I’m happy, when I’m sad, when I’m excited , when I’m bored…. It’s truly one of my favorite songs of all time. I can only imagine the songs I’d be singing had Howard not been taken so young. ❤

The director doesn't know art. He interrupts lots, his intentions are broken up.

She has such a melodious voice. This womans instrument is beautiful

The little Mermaid was the first movie I went to in a theater...

2024 and still speechless. I’ll keep coming back. 😍🙌🏽🎉

3:17 Feels like an angel singing to me

I just watched this today ... it looks like it is at least ten years old. I loved it and it touched me. Bless you every step of the way and continue to shine. <3

Timeless. Perfect. Never to be matched ! Howard working with Jodi on every single detail, every single breath, word, phrase, sentence - to make it perfect and translate into something meaningful and magical… Talent, perfection and execution merging into one-of-a-time recording. I’m still amazed after all those years and countless performances 😊

Where is Disney now?

ㅜ_ㅜ.. 넘좋다.. 굿!!

My wife sing/piano this song just perfectly. I’m so lucky 😊

It's so perfect you became part of that world

What a blessing that this was recorded and put on KZbin for all to see, study and appreciate. 6/10/24

I remain obsessed with how effortlessly she emits one of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard in the first few seconds of this clip. A bravura performance while they're not even taping.

I feel like this version was actually better

As much as I love Halle Bailey version of the song, you can tell it was more so about emotion for Howard not so much vocals which Halle was giving , it was a certain way he wanted the song sung and you can tell just by how many times Jodi Bendon went over it. But both versions were great.

I was in a debate with someone about how I don't think covers of part of your world shouldn't sound TOO grandiose, and I was trying to explain things in the way that I remembered this video. The way he descirbes the intensity and the breaths, the "not letting it out", it's kind of this contained excitement. She looks to go past the surface but she never reaches it. She's literally enclosed in a grotto due to how she feels enclosed. It's brilliant

This recording session made me sob uncontrollably. Her voice brings me to my knees then my tears flow like a waterfall. But why? Could it be my reaction to something so incredibly beautiful? I don't know. But I love it... I love it.

Jodi is gallantly GOR-geous in this video. It's amazing, this is the moment the magic was captured. Every expression on her face she just pulls me in closer. She makes it look effortless, and along with Howard's direction, she just feeds off it. Nothing tops this backstage glimpse. Watching her, the expressions, every thought, feeling, emotion, and curiosity, and how it shows by her performance, was a huge service to humanity. Thanks to whomever had the idea of taping this and publicizing it later in the bonus content of Disney stuff. Howard was JUST getting started. What wonders might we have been blessed with if there was the kind of treatment there is now back then. To what heights would he have gone to. What a loss.

I don't know why, and I don't mean this in a weird way at all, but I wanna give her a hug.

That “buuuuuurn”… 2:51 oh my Lord😍

These guys sound like tossers to me.

i'm really impressed by the fact that, knowing what the final version sounds like, i can tell exactly what he's asking her to do... because between the two of them, they did capture all that perfectly in the final!!

*she's a knock-out and that voice!* ❤

I’m a 43 yo male who haven’t watched a single Disney movie in my life. It’s simply just not my kind of movie. This clip made me want to watch the movie. Her expression and timing is perfect. Very very impressive performance.

I miss Disney back in the days

Kinda like this version better then original

Terrorist

This footage is so incredible. Howard’s direction was so specific yet so gently delivered, and Jodi was just a willing piece of clay. And look at what this collaboration produced - one of the most memorable songs of the entire Disney canon.

Incredible vocal work

Disney and google are disgusting, when you search the old version the new one appears, her voice is superior. Disney is going downhill

I’m not crying

Howard: We need perfect Jodi: Say no more

Major goosebumps 😍💚

When they used to hire people strictly for their talent

More intensity kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJq0n3tqapWbhq8si=eXeMDNoCAlyodOw6&t=137

No matter what take or version they used for the movie would have been magical. She just has that magical voice.

Trisha Yearwood voice has a unique versatility to it that no one ever possesses and kudo to her , and I hope she'll continue to sing and record it Bravo

That was perfect but can you make it better? 😅

I wish disney cared this much now. Films were so much better then

Teach them what comes naturally to us.

Everyone nowadays, even in the Broadway musical, sings it too big. Way too big. Like they're winning a competition on Star Search. Howard wanted intensity, not large voice.

Lea salonga and brad 1 take they are like...yeah that works. Jk i know they did more takes but we didnt get to see this depth of direction. At times i kinda felt bad for her like damn man poor girl is nailin it

I’m crying…perfect
