[@annbartkowiak6802]

[@carlosalejandroalvarenga4913]

Matteo De Masi this song gets very hard towards the end. She pulled it off amazingly

[@SophiaDAbeleda]

SATISFYING TO HEAR HER HITTING THOSE NOTES AND ACTING SO WELL AT THE SAME TIME

[@woowoolip]

awesome acting

[@westbeverley]

What a beautiful voice!

[@elysekuss3065]

She needs to play Anna in the Broadway version they are doing, she would be perfect!!!

[@elysegarrison]

+Elyse Kuss from one Elyse to another, couldn't agree more ;)

[@beekeigee]

intonation is just perfect!

[@BasicallyBri123]

OMG she NEEDS to be Anna when it comes to Broadway!

[@dontrefertome3161]

+BasicallyBri123 YES PLEASE

[@abigailmeyer8519]

her or Kara Lindsay would be incredible.

[@FalseDisposition]

She doesn't just sing the part, but she looks it too!

[@_t__r__]

so effortless, natural, and real. I love her voice

[@cotiuan]

Perfect!!! She sings and acts!! Excellent performance!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@princepeterwolf]

WOW THIS IS PERFECTION

[@amriddle8]

I think she should be casted as Broadway's Anna. She would be perfect!

[@micheleforlano667]

OMG I LOVE IT!

[@gwensally2338]

Laurie Veldheer is the most underrated actress ever

[@judithheald4437]

Amazing 🎉

[@iDelta77]

Love her performance. She is brilliant!

Thank you thank you thank you for recording this and putting it up.

[@rs-ej7ln]

I really love this

[@SparklesofDisney]

Incredible performance, I love this song

[@elise.thebookworm]

perfection!

[@isobelramsey9767]

She seems just a bit too frantic to be Anna. And I know, lord do I know that Anna is a pretty frantic character, but she just seems to miss the excitement part and go straight to the worry. If she would smile more during the song she might have gotten a better reception from the audience, but she does have the right voice and look for the part. I would be excited to see her play it on stage, her mistakes were so minor I'm sure she would be absolutely amazing!!! Great performance!

[@yippedoodah]

+Isobel Ramsey what mistakes? Like, you can't constantly smile while belting. You can feel and hear the excitement in her voice which would be more than enough for the people in the back of the theater who can't catch every exact facial expression she'd have :P

[@rhondagoso654]

ok she is def the best one so far...ive heard brave and belle and cinderella she is great!

[@z3suzie123]

Oh my god that was so good it made me cry!l

[@victoria58]

Sounds like the perfect Anna and very enthusiastic, so cute

[@nanalove3819]

That was so amazing!

[@wk8612]

Simply amazing

[@MrStephanieJChia]

[@maiam.1977]

3:07 Ben making fun of Laura for asking chocolate is so amazing

[@עדןמרחב]

wooow she's so good

[@susie_b]

That takes a lot of stamina - wow! 👏🏻 Impressive! 😍

[@gemmah6032]

Slayyyy

[@not_will1342]

nice job Laurie

[@autumnpeirson6976]

She sounds just like Anna!

[@autumnpeirson6976]

No, she's not the one who played Anna.Kristen Bell played Anna.

[@smurf5860]

Autumn Peirson she said she sounds LIKE her lol

[@puigmii]

This song will hit different after covid

[@CountryCowboy008]

Her voice is phenomenal, but, I don't know, maybe it's unfair to judge a single performance, but her voice doesn't have this distinct naive and excited tone like how Kristen Bell did.

[@springdayisnottoday371]

Yes! The goofiness Anna had wasn't that portrayed here, but she does have an amazing voice!

[@not_will8801]

Hi Laurie so happy you could get a lot of views -your mom wendy

[@eunicewong8709]

Why did she not get casted as ANNA?!!!?! OMG. WHAT IS BROADWAY DOING?

[@Maria-zn1nf]

The window is open! So's that door! I didn't know they did that anymore! Who knew we owned eight thousand salad plates? For years I've roamed these empty halls Why have a ballroom with no balls? Finally they're opening up the gates! There'll be actual real live people It'll be totally strange But wow! Am I so ready for this change 'Cause for the first time in forever There'll be music, there'll be light! For the first time in forever I'll be dancing through the night Don't know if I'm elated or gassy But I'm somewhere in that zone! 'Cause for the first time in forever I won't be alone I can't wait to meet everyone! What if I meet. The one? Tonight, imagine me gown and all Fetchingly draped against the wall The picture of sophisticated grace Ooh! I suddenly see him standing there A beautiful stranger, tall and fair I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face! But then we laugh and talk all evening Which is totally bizarre Nothing like the life I've lead so far! For the first time in forever There'll be magic, there'll be fun! For the first time in forever I could be noticed by someone And I know it is totally crazy To dream I'd find romance But for the first time in forever At least I've got a chance! Don't let them in Don't let them see Be the good girl You always have to be Conceal Don't feel Put on a show Make one wrong move And everyone will know But it's only for today It's only for today! It's agony to wait It's agony to wait! Tell the guards to open up the gate! The gate! For the first time in forever Don't let them in, don't let them see I'm getting what I'm dreaming of! Be the good girl you always have to be A chance to change my lonely world Conceal A chance to find true love! Conceal, don't feel Don't let them know I know it all ends tomorrow So it has to be today! 'Cause for the first time in forever For the first time in forever Nothing's in my way!

[@shepz03]

Please make her the next Anna on Broadway.

[@cheese6291]

She should have sang more in Newsies

[@chaijohnson4056]

She rushed herself but was all and all amazing

[@heyitsblinded]

Chai Johnson I didn’t notice her rushing until I saw this comment

[@AlexAndra-gf6tv]

is it just me or does she look like Katie Holmes?
