she has a nice voice in this, but no energy. and obv her talent went down the drain after everything

[@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???

Wait what?? I don't know anything about this, can you fill me in?

[@goodnight-moon564]

@@mandemelon I recommend Adam McIntyre’s channel for a more in-depth look into what happened, as I don’t believe a single KZbin comment could really explain it in full. 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).

[@Espresso_Yourself_]

She sounds exactly like Miranda……even her Southern accent sounds like Miranda with barely any twang and a whole lot of nasal in it.

[@ellekim2617]

I think this was a bad casting. I get people are comparing it to singing on KZbin and how she did “good for KZbin singer” but performing live with choreography is a completely skillset. 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.

[@sarahalbright5307]

EXACTLY because I remember watching this like even before the drama and thinking that it was underwhelming

[@maxsamil5663]

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.

[@noncatholiccatholicrat6309]

Yeah I agree Kimiko was better, but she was better than all the other girls that played Dawn. In Colleen's defense though, Kimiko had been doing musicals consistently without stopping all the way to when she got on Broadway. Colleen started off rough because she just needed practice with the stamina and took a while to improve breath control and consistency. But she sounded very good towards the end of her run

[@abbsk.1]

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

I really don't think she fits this part at all. Her tone is too mezzo. You need a true soprano for that part. She also can't pull off the awkward innocence of Dawn, IMO.

She literally doesn’t seem like cute awkward just awkward and weird

there are teenagers at my community theatre who have sung this better 😭 i think some of y’all are giving her the benefit of the doubt, or you aren’t familiar with good performances 🤷‍♀️ she’s pitchy, inconsistent (in tone and accent), out of breath, nasally, and bails out of high notes (3:22). if she was anyone else she would not have been casted point blank period. also, her acting is very artificial

her “who likes the way i am” is SOOOO good and REAL🥺🥺
