Thank THE GODS ABOVE FOR THE BROADWAY PRINCESS PARTY.

[@lolgurl141]

I was thinking the same!

[@4dultw1thj0b]

I love how she mashed up the song with its reprises!

[@ruthparker481]

Alw

[@puellamagica3359]

right?! it feels like the complete, ultimate version of the song. i would kill for a studio recording of this.

[@micahjohnson5503]

Petition for MOANA to become a stage musical starring Arielle Jacobs:

[@vertigoed.]

YES!

[@lolgurl141]

You read my mind!

[@a.j.caberto5897]

Micah Johnson that would be a hard musical to do with the graphics

[@micahjohnson5503]

A.J. Caberto Yeah, I realize that. I just thought that it would be cool, it's a very unlikely reality.

[@Ariellapowers]

Micah Johnson lin Manuel miranda could probably make it happen!

[@icomeandgobybubble87]

Her diction is beyond perfect! You can understand every word she is singing! Some singers don't have that...like Ariana Grande. You can never make out the lyrics when Ariana is singing. Great job Arielle!

[@cassie6645]

I mean, she is a Broadway singer, and they generally have excellent diction. Look up show tunes, it's amazing just how clear almost all the words are.

[@icomeandgobybubble87]

You are speaking to someone who is highly into Broadway musicals, and a local theatre performer also classically trained singer,, so I know. Just saying Ariana was in Broadway musicals, and she has horrible diction.

[@pandaking9000]

icomeandgobybubble87 in her pop music she puts forth no effort diction wise, but if you listen to some of the Broadway stuff she's done like the showcase spot she did last year. There she has crystal clear diction but she loses some of her crazy riffing abilities , it's not a matter of ability rather it's a matter of the placement of effort.

[@cassie6645]

+jackson thorpe Aww, that's disappointing. I guess that means she put like no effort into Hairspray Live...

[@cassie6645]

+icomeandgobybubble87 Oh, I thought she was only in like one (?) Either way, I think we can agree that Arielle has perfect enunciation, while Ariana just doesn't :P

[@Leticiavsbpg]

If moana ever Goes to broadway and auli'i cant play her, Arielle would be the perfect choice!

[@imuawarriors]

I am biased towards Auli'i (I live in Hawai'i), but Arielle did great! Auli'i has an innocence about her that fits the Moana character for sure...

[@twystedhumour]

@@imuawarriors i'd prefer Auli'i Cravalho. Arielle's great, but i'd rather have the Islands represented (and that's coming from a Pilipino).

[@christinaskaggs9689]

Arielle Jacobs is literally perfect! She was amazing as Jasmine in Australia! She would be the perfect Moana, Eliza Hamilton, or Pocahontas! I would pay so much money to see her as Eliza!

[@frostedjosieos3193]

That's a pretty spot on Moana.

[@wylersonnogueira4168]

For the first time, I actually got to sense what's behind Moana's heart and mind... Arielle Jacobs made me feel and understand her in ways that the actual movie wasn't able to do for me at all. Thanks, Arielle, for bringing one more Princess into my heart

[@ARIELLEJACOBSvoice]

Thank u! So happy that you felt that way!!!!

[@twystedhumour]

a few things came through to me in the movie: that unknown yearning (to explore), the chafing of a young mind and heart from restrictions (well-founded though they were), the need to do something, and the belief that that "something" (to change what is, change past wrongs, and to take responsibility as befitting a leader-to-be) needs to be done. it was no "kid's movie," i can tell you that right now.

[@lucianguyen8068]

Omg I love her 😍 I'm so glad she's Jasmine in Broadway Australia!!

[@azariaoglesby3148]

Lucia Nguyen she actually already left that show

[@lucianguyen8068]

Well when she was

[@awpicteesh]

Oh no!!! I just booked tickets for next month to see her!! Ugh oh well ;)

[@nina.angeli_ne]

Lucia Nguyen I thought she said was still gonna be jasmine in Melbourne too... sad if not

[@grayk7455]

Lucia Nguyen well now she's officially going to be jasmine on broadway! Can't beat that!

[@Silver54ful]

The Grand Princess Party has returned. And it features the spectacular Arielle Jacobs as Moana!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Laura Osnes and Benjamin Rauhala. :)

[@icomeandgobybubble87]

That vibrato though! Absolutely lovely! :)

[@drawken]

The way she emotes everything is a beautiful thing to watch. Grade A stage performer right there!

[@lagingablue3270]

Not only is she an incredible performer (duh) but my favourite part of watching Arielle sing is how happy she looks☺️👏🏼

[@ARIELLEJACOBSvoice]

Not just looks! Actually happy! :)

[@lagingablue3270]

Watching you sing makes me just as happy :) Thank you for the reply! I hope you're doing well!! Also I hope to see you live one day not just on KZbin

[@kuhnuckles1]

LaGingaBlue at 2:58 , her smile warms my whole heart ❤️

[@musicobsessed7902]

SHES PERFECT I MET HER AND SHE WAS SO SWEET

[@mgfoster9197]

Music Obsessed SHE RESPONDED TO ME AND SHE WAS SO SWEET

[@ARIELLEJACOBSvoice]

:)

[@mgfoster9197]

ARIELLEJACOBS 😲

[@sofiasanchez7054]

I'm obsessed with the princesses in the back 😍

[@Epiphannie1]

This is my favorite rendition of this song! She sounds BEAUTIFUL! Reminds me of Christy Altomare a bit. Would love to hear them duet!

[@immortalangel08]

Such a good version

[@GraceAction]

Omg they mashed up the reprises perfectly

[@gregpearcenz]

How have I only just found Broadway Princess Party!!!!!???!!! Love.

[@Silver54ful]

Greg Pearce- It is never too late to join the Princess Party. Welcome aboard! :)

[@beccagordon-ross724]

How do you think I feel?

[@twystedhumour]

did you notice that Arielle's performance here and in "colors of the wind" quickly silenced the audience? she's such a fantastic story teller. like a vocal version of a holo-deck. wish they played a little more with the lyrics... i am the girl who loves my island iam the girl who loves the sea... unda da sea! unda da sea! i am the daughter of the village chief we are descended from voyagers who found a way across the world it calls me... wandering free wish i could be part of that world!!

[@SabrinaTwyla]

The Princess Party is the one thing I ALWAYS look forward to! This mashup of all the songs Moana sings is AMAZING!

[@dolceuniverse7765]

daaaaaaamn.....SHE BLEW ME AWAY!!!!!! VOICE GOALS!!!

[@yousuzers565]

She looks like a real life Moana!!

[@Phantasma98]

She looks like auli'i cravalho!( butchered the spelling)

[@gracerogerz]

Phantasma98 you actually spelled it perfect! 😊

[@Phantasma98]

Once again my Disney Obsession has saved my spelling! Thank youXD!

[@musicatheatrefan]

I actually noticed that too. I was watching this video and then I looked at a picture of Auli'i Cravalho and I thought 'Arielle and Auli'i look so similar, it's a little scary, but at the same time, it's so cool'.

[@springdayisnottoday371]

Arielle would have Moana and Aladdin as siblings, and she's Jasmine after all so ;p

[@larryminney155]

Arielle you have the voice of an angel you make a beautiful princess

[@jojolee3776]

SO MANY CHILLS SO MANY GOOSEBUMPS

[@akku1998]

She was absolutely wonderful!

[@grayk7455]

haven't been able to get these songs out of my head for days. she's fantastic!

[@bobjhone3712]

AS A CHOIR DORK I ADORE HER DICTION WITH A PASSION

[@lolgurl141]

You know I think Arielle even looks like Auli'i !!! They could be sisters.

[@musicatheatrefan]

lolgurl141 I know right?! Arielle looks like an older version of Auli'i. They even sound the same a little.

[@andrewnakamura1411]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the dialogue at the beginning of this clip? Loved how they incorporated a couple of Maui quotes from the movie and definitely got a good laugh out of them.

[@dioarchangel6249]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@adelineschuyler4842]

yeah I always felt arielle and auli'i looked a lot alike :)

[@DimbleDuck]

Bea!! My favorite person!!

[@mochii.pov_]

I love these princess parties and prince parties

[@vendingguy47]

we should see a Broadway show of Moana! please Disney please! #DisneyonBroadway #Moana #Disney

[@iCravethis]

Amazing!!

[@claracarvalho321]

her smile at the end is so precious

[@stormyphillips251]

HER VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL I MIGHT CRY.

[@iambagel9681]

I have chills oh my god

[@JenniSammy]

I loveeeeee Arielle omg

[@arianacastaluccio-vilani9442]

I would LOVE to see see her as Eliza ♡

[@AlienMidget123]

ACTING. THROUGH. SONG. So beautiful to see. Hats off

[@harry_fado]

Is it just me that noticed that by the minute 3:18 her mouth looks like it's saying "deep" instead of "far"? Loved her voice. She did what I wanted to hear, that is, a mashed up version of How Far I'll Go, its reprise and I am Moana in one song.

[@oosmirai]

I saw another video, she actually sang "That I can go", love her voice so much too. ♥ ♥

[@imAoKay87]

a ton of performance from this night have some really weird editing things in them. There's also a cut and her hair changes right before the second verse here at 1:51

[@CamieDelRosario]

[@anadelaney2657]

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING😮😮😮😭😭😍

[@msduckie495]

Lyrics (Including the lyrics with the reprise!) I've been staring at the edge of the water 'Long as I can remember Never really knowing why I wish I could be the perfect daughter But I come back to the water No matter how hard I try Every turn I take Every trail I track Every path I make Every road leads back To the place, I know where I cannot go Where I long to be See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me And no one knows How far it goes If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me One day I'll know If I go, there's just no telling how far I'll go I know everybody on this island Seems so happy on this island Everything is by design I know everybody on this island Has a role on this island So maybe I can roll with mine I can lead with pride I can make us strong I'll be satisfied if I play along But the voice inside sings a different song What is wrong with me? See the light how it shines on the sea? Its blinding And no one knows How deep it goes All the time wondering where I need to be Is behind me I'm on my own To worlds unknown Every turn I take Every trail I track Is a choice I make Now I can't turn back From the great unknown Where I go alone Where I long to be See her light up the night in the sea She calls me And yes I know that I can go There's a moon in the sky and the wind is behind me Soon I'll know how far I'll go I am Moana!

[@kishadockrell191]

[@perizoeyildirim-stanley7120]

Omg I loved this so much!! She could totally become Moana in a staged version of Moana! :)

[@adamarislopez.alfonzo]

Okay so this isn't How Far I'll Go.... it's I Am Moana (Song of the Ancestors).... regardless I'm obsessed

[@lib7656]

I actually like her more than the original w auli'i cravalho

[@addie511]

Anyone know if there is a way to buy this piano/vocal arrangement? Would love to sing this for a fundraiser!

[@AsiaMs]

I would like to see Auli'i playing Moana on Broadway with Arielle playing her mother.

[@smkaplan18]

Is this arrangement available to purchase? I would love to sing it for my senior recital!

[@xXspedXx]

What happens at 3:18 when she says "How Far". The words don't match up with her mouth?? *Cue X-Files Theme song*

[@arthrit7076]
