[@unfinishedsentenc3959]

Grace O'Riordan it was just a source I believe she got fired because she missed about 50 shows and they said she quit because they felt bad for her. The rumors of her vaping and being rude backstage is probably just a rumor I don’t think you should believe it so easily cause there might be a different story.

It doesn’t normally have auto tune?

[@josumds1896]

@@ceruleancraftshopMaybe they use it in the show, I don't know if its the case but many musicals use it. It's not as if the actors can't sing but it helps make it sound better. In the recorded album yeah they use autotune everywhere, that's not a bad thing

[@morgangrinage5390]

That little dance Sophia does at the beginning......LMAO

[@stacey738]

I love the power dynamic shift in this, it's so well acted. Alex spends 90% of the song with his knees bend making himself lower than her, and she goes on her toes to make herself taller. She starts the long feeling powerless and ends it feeling powerful and in control of him. It's so interesting to watch play out.

He actually revealed in an interview that he's able to collapse parts of his throat or something similar on command to be able to do the voice with ease.

I don’t have the interview but I think this is the workshop you are talking about. kzbin.info/www/bejne/foqumGZ3d7hnf9U

[@cascadeoceanwavesblues]

yeah her voice sounds way different and healthier on the workshop but she grew up a lot between the two (three years I think) and also she made stylistic choices for her character that weren’t there for the workshop

[@rock2946]

I'm not surprised. She does tend to strain her voice a lot in these songs.

D Carney That’s not what stage presence means though. You can be playing a sad suicidal character and still dominate the stage. Alex absolutely pulls all the focus to him.
