[@ChristopherMichael180]

I think she has super pretty moments sprinkled throughout, but it’s all held together by very tense and nervous transitions. I’m very new to this Miranda/Colleen world-like I knew of her, just never watched any content until this “Traumageddon” event and the ensuing disclosures of victim statements piqued my curiosity over the edge. I had also never heard of Kimiko Glen before seeing folks recommend watching her performance and wow wow wow-Kimiko sounded amazing. It’s not just the “big” moments-like she transitioned from the dialogue to staccato to emotionally nuanced delivery back to staccato and then soft and then cranking out some emotional belting and it all felt sooooooo natural, connected, and effortless-and like a natural extension of this character’s emotional state and struggle with social/romantic anxiety. I think that’s the magic word: effortless. Like obviously it’s hard as hell to do that, but it’s clear that Kimiko is a consummate professional who planned breaths with Terminator-level precision so she would never compromise the flow of the song. Within a few verses I felt like I had full understanding of the character with Kimiko’s rendition. With Colleen’s version I can tell the character is neurotic, but I’m struggling so much to find her “theory” behind the character. It almost comes off like she’s just saying words and popping in some flourishes that occasionally stick the landing-but it’s more of an imitation of human emotion where the social anxiety of the character is diminished by the bombastic and confident delivery of Colleen. Idk how to convey it, but basically Kimiko’s version pulled me in while Colleen’s version left me feeling like I was doing all the effort trying to get sucked in to the performance. And the audience shouldn’t be exerting effort to get sucked into the song-it should just happen. That said, I can see where Colleen’s fans would have been so excited and happy for her before the recent info dumps about how wretched and despicable her behavior is. When you’re a fan, it’s easy to put on blinders and just hear the pretty moments. I think Colleen did have super pretty moments sprinkled in, but she def seemed like she was at the mercy of the song overall as opposed to Kimiko giving that vibe where she clearly had the song figured out and had full command over how to make the song her own. From that little bit at the end, it seems like in a live setting Colleen is better off sticking to softer acoustic performances. Like i think her gentle singing voice is legitimately super pretty and seems like it comes pretty effortless to her. Or if the songs have belting, maybe songs with a slower tempo and less dynamics to grapple with would be a better choice. At the same time, maybe this was all nerves and she’s she’s actually a rockstar? In that case, sing your heart out, but maybe work on some stage fright exercises. That’s my fair, outsider take on the singing as someone who likes to get my money’s worth when i buy a ticket for a premium live music experience like broadway or a celebrity musician concert. But as someone who came in blind and has learned about her behind the scenes behavior…rot in hell, Colleen. Truly demonic behavior. What the actual f is wrong with you???

It’s why people focus on musical theatre as a career to hone these skills. I wasn’t expecting Kimiko Glenn bc that’s unbeatable but I think people would be a lot more critical of this performance if she didn’t already have a dedicated fan base.

Basically, Colleen was exposed for talking to her underage fans in inappropriate ways, and attempting to take advantage of them (labour-wise, not sexually). She sent a 14 year old a pair of bra and panties, and interacted with minors in many more inappropriate ways. You can find a lot more examples on the internet, as many victims have started to come forward with their stories. (Again, I recommend Adam McIntyre, he has been very outspoken in his treatment from Colleen and how traumatic it was, as well as covered the stories of many of the other victims).

I mean all the drama aside, this specific performance was mid. She did quite well, but the voice she uses for Dawn (which is fine on its own) sounds a lot like Miranda to people so that makes it sound bad to people. Also, because her run was only a few weeks long, she wasn't able to build up the stamina required for the insane choreography/blocking for this song while singing those loud high notes so she was out of breath a lot. I know for a fact this was one of her first performances too. All things considered, despite the fact that she's a horrible person, she did quite well for so early in her run.

[@SammiPDanton]

That’s the thing. I’m not going say she can’t sing. Because she can. she has a decent voice. But more a “ posting singing video on KZbin type voice” my issue is that she is not even remotely as talented as she is convinced herself she is. I also believe she drastically over exaggerated her musical theatre training she act like she has such hard to degree to get but realistically unless your going to Juilliard its not hard to get into theatre school. Again you pretty much just have to be able to hold a tune. the producers got a lot of crap from the broadway community for giving her the role. Broadways actors worked there whole live to get roles like that and all Colleen had to do is be able to hold a tune and boom the part is hers The producers and casting people actually regretted the decision to cast her after opening night when her fans flood the theatre. Apparently they were incredibly disruptive before, during, and after the show. When she was on stage they would scream her name or other stuff. When she wasn’t on stage they didn’t seem to even care about the actual show and would talk and make tiktok videos. Then they flooded the exiting door trying to get autographs making it so the other actor’s have to squeeze through a crowd of crazy preteens to get out. She was ask to control her fans during the shows out of respect for the other actors but she brushed it off as the producers being “ Haters” and she did the bare minimum if that to stop her fans Which screwed her in the end because she pretty much got blacklist from broadway which is hard to come back from btw ( to be clear she wasn’t let go from broadway because of all the creepy shit she did with fans this was before she wasn’t canceled ) she was let go because no one wanted to cast her in anything because they knew her fans came with her and would tried to turn it into a meet in greet. There a certain expectation of respect when you watch a broadway show. It not a Taylor swift concert you can’t scream and yell at the actors ( unless it is part of the show) phone are supposed to be off and put away. And your supposed to be quiet and watch the show. Part me think she love that her fans did this as she felt it made her look better then the other actor because she had “ adoring fans base” ( why she thought professional broadway actors would be jealous a bunch of disrespectful 10-14 years old liked her I don’t know)

[@noncatholiccatholicrat6309]

Yeah I agree Kimiko was better, but she was better than all the other girls that played Dawn.

I actually don’t think Colleen did a very good job, I think she did ok but it just didn’t feel very believable.

@@aliciak7700its because she groomed children and refuses to take accountability. she is also jus a horrible person as a whole

[@Pookielover_3000]

⁠@@aliciak7700 she was grooming miners. Just look up Colleen Ballinger drama and you should see loads of videos going into detail about it. She was probably not the best person the be a fan of but how were people supposed to predict she was like that right 🤷

@@Bye910 as she should. she’s supposed to have an accent. you would know that if you’ve seen waitress

@@TheKeenKanines I know. I wasn’t hating…idk why I even said that, it was a while ago. I love her and I understand it was an accent

[@lm_amazing]

Who did she even get this ☠️

[@margonautica]

i'm trying to be objective here: i know she's talented but holy shit this was so bad. off rhythm in a few places, uneven voice, accent sounded like miranda in the beginning... she probably would have been much better were this not on stage with so much choreo. too bad lol
