Ellen Greene goes from high-pitched annoying voice to an absolutely powerful, incredible one. She's just an awesome performer!

Ellen Greene tiene una voz muy hermosa. Me resulta sorprendente la diferencia de tono de voz cuando habla a cuando canta, en este último caso tiene mucha profundidad , me conmueve como carga de sentimiento la voz para dramatizar. He oído varias veces a Ariana Grande cantar esta canción, y bien, pero no es lo mismo.

As a kid this was the first time I saw a white woman who COULD SAAAANG. I remember just staring at her mouth like, “Where the heck is that sound coming from???”

This song is about a journey between the two and is full of light and shade. This such better than the modern versions where they both belt each part at each other at the top of their ranges. This is real musical theatre with love and feeling not just technical singing!! Love it

raw, beautiful voice xxxx

This whole scene -- and especially Ms. Greene's voice and portrayal -- is iconic. It will go down in history.

No melons or waffles or chicken no pig feet or carp, collard greens, grits or coolaid ice t or Newports yall failed

2024 I still love this movie and the songs in it. My sister and I were just singing this last weekend

Audrey and Seymour are made for each other. Seymour is a loving and caring man who cares about her a lot.

Alarm goes off at seven and you start uptown You put in your eight hours for the powers that have always been (Sing it, child) 'Till it's five P.M. (Then you go) Downtown, where the folks are broke, you go Downtown, where your life's a joke, you go Downtown, where you buy your token, you go Home to Skid Row (home to Skid Row) (Yes, you go) Where the cabs don't stop (Downtown) Where the food is slop Downtown, where the hop-heads flop in the snow Down on Skid Row Uptown, you cater to a million jerks Uptown, you're messengers and mailroom clerks Eating all your lunches at the hot-dog carts The bosses take your money and they break your hearts And uptown, you cater to a million whores You disinfect terrazzo on their bathroom floors The jobs are really menial, you make no bread And then at five o'clock you head (by subway) Downtown, where the guys are drips (Downtown) Where they rip your slips (Downtown) Where relationships are no go Down on Skid Row (down on Skid Row) Down on Skid Row (down on Skid Row) Down on Skid Row (down on Skid Row) Down on Skid Row Poor, all my life I've always been poor I keep askin' God what I'm for And he tells me, "Gee, I'm not sure..." "Sweep that floor, kid!" Oh, I started life as an orphan, a child of the street Here on Skid Row He took me in gave me shelter, a bed, crusts of bread and a job Treats me like dirt, calls me a slob, which I am So I live That's your home address, you live (Downtown) When your life's a mess, you live (Downtown) Where depression's just status quo (Down on Skid Row) Someone show me a way to get outta here 'Cause I constantly pray I'll get outta here Please, won't somebody say I'll get outta here? Someone gimme my shot or I'll rot here Show me how and I will, I'll get outta here (Downtown, 'cause it's dangerous) I'll start climbin' uphill and get outta here (Downtown, where the rainbow's just a no-show) Someone tell me I still could get outta here Someone tell lady luck that I'm stuck here (when you live) Gee, it sure would be swell to get outta here (Downtown, past the bottom line) Bid the gutter farewell and get outta here (Downtown, go ask any wino, he'll know) I'd move heaven and hell to get outta Skid I'd do I don't know what to get outta Skid But a hell of a lot to get outta Skid (Downtown) People tell me there's not a way outta Skid (Downtown) But believe me, I gotta get outta Skid Row

Great casting, strong voices! I always cry a little at this song. Sweet nerds falling in love; what could be more charming?

-------LYRICS ----- Lift up your head Wash off your mascara Here, take my Kleenex, wipe that lipstick away Show me your face, clean as the morning I know things were bad, but now they're okay Suddenly, Seymour is standing beside you You don't need no makeup, don't have to pretend Suddenly, Seymour is here to provide you Sweet understanding, Seymour's your friend Nobody ever treated me kindly Daddy left early, Mama was poor I'd meet a man and I'd follow him blindly He'd snap his fingers, me, I'd said sure Suddenly, Seymour is standing beside me He don't give me orders, he don't condescend Suddenly, Seymour is here to provide me Sweet understanding, Seymour's my friend Tell me this feeling lasts 'til forever Tell me the bad times are clean washed away Please understand that it's still strange and frightening For losers like I've been, it's so hard to say Suddenly, Seymour (Suddenly, Seymour) He purified me (He purified you) Suddenly, Seymour (Suddenly, Seymour) Showed me I can (Yes, you can) Learn how to be more The girl that's inside me (The girl that's inside inside you) With sweet understanding (With sweet understanding) With sweet understanding (With sweet understanding) With sweet understanding Seymour's your man

Im here! Fabulous effort! Menken is flawless.

Beautiful. I always come back, always will

1:53 I say shore ❤

Where the food is slop✨️

WHY IS IT SO QUIET

Loved this scene!

This video is really quiet

It’s a magic moment when everything worked, goosebumps all around.

She displays a great belting voice at just the right time for dramatic effect, a real pro.

2:23❤

Number 1 favourite love song in one of my favourite movies.

Downtown, where you buy a token and goooo, home to skid roooow

Alan Menken is writing the Nancy Drew musical.

Seymour's struggled with getting her attention the whole time because she's clearly the type who doesn't pay "the nice guy" any mind. Suddenly, after he starts feeding people to his death flower, she feels a romantic attraction to him. Funny, that.

"I pooped in the pot again... it's real bad this time!"

2:47 I want to sing that with my friend, Summer!

The audio quality on this is absolute garbage. You could have done better recording the vhs with a 90's tape recorder.

I love this movie.

Girl steal his wallet instead ( loves not real

❤❤❤❤ love it!

One of the best scenes of all time, it has to be up there, maybe not top 10, but top 50 without a doubt.

Brittany Murphy could have played her perfectly in a remake

You don't think she has it in her... and then you hear this song.

Saw this movie as a kid in the 90s. Now I can't unhear it whenever I play FFX and Seymour has an entrance lmao.

She’s amazing belting that out, hats off to Rick too for singing his heart out. He’s a great actor and she’s a great singer but she acts well and he sings well. Perfect scene

3:51 they won’t let Seymour out 😢

Someone give me my shot or I’ll rot here…….wow 😢

I still can't get over Audrey's voice change

The music in Seymour's part is so interesting (specifically the beginning)

to this day, this song brings tears to my eyes. we all need a seymore

Just love her voice when she sings ❤

What a voice!!!

Love this song so much!
