Lilli Cooper - "Poor Unfortunate Souls" (Broadway Villains Party)

[@jordanbuster8374]

Can we not only appreciate not only how she handled her mistakes but how well the pianist followed her?! It was flawless!

[@twystedhumour]

i hope you mean "mistakes," and not true mistakes. she did them on purpose. an actress like would've, as required, memorized the song to and fro, up and down, till kingdom come.

[@SassyWinterFox]

@@twystedhumour the amount of times I've been on stage and messed up even after several months of rehearsals. One time our Gaston forgot to show up on stage for his scene with the 3 sisters (i was one of them), and we had to reword the whole scene so it made sense and kept the show going. You learn how to adapt and to "say yes".

[@EricMontreal22]

Yes amazing accompanying

[@sirknightlancelot]

"What's the fucking line?!" lmao I love her!!! She played off her mistakes like she meant to do them!!!!

[@HalVerArt]

Same with "Let's do that one over again!"

[@sirknightlancelot]

Shadyyo Yeah

[@hoppytoad79]

Being able to handle a flub like you meant to do that and in character, or at least smoothly and quickly, is part and parcel of being a live performer. Expect the unexpected and be ready for it.

She played off her mistakes like a G.

[@drublu]

"That one wants to get the girl! ...Well..." 😂

[@_poisoned_tea_1221]

What does she need Ariel's voice for, hers is amazing, beautiful, and majestic. Also, if that wasn't enough she has a extraordinary sense of humor.

[@twystedhumour]

she's just soooooo expressive! i felt her malice to be as smooth as... pure chocolate. it's like i'm bathing in it lol

[@JenniferMejia-ir3fp]

I love how Lilli handled her mistakes in character as Ursula. It just made it way more funny

[@thefaceofawsomeness491]

I swear, if Disney does a live adaptation of the little mermaid she could play Ursula.

[@kaitnhutchinson]

Theface ofawsomeness there already was one!! if they ever revive it, she should def be ursula!!

[@Bluestone524]

Theface ofawsomeness sherie Renee Scott was the original Ursula you should check it out

This is amazing, this video came up in my feed when I needed it most, I needed to make a drag performance, so now I'm channelling Lilli whilst performing Poor Unfortunate Twinks in my local drag competition.

[@serenitythesiren5031]

She will make a great Velvette for Hazbin Hotel (it's been confirmed she is playing her in the series).

[@UrPersonalCactusX3]

Came here to hear the voice to see what I'm supposed to expect for Hazbin hotel, and I agree with you! She'll make an amazing job!!

[@brendanparker6115]

And she absolutely killed it

[@revel8683]

She is fire in hazbin

[@lolamalvicino712]

and she did it gadly!! wonderfull she made it

[@biancaarcand4316]

THAT VOICE! DAMN GIRL, SLAY!!!!

[@evagroot784]

This performance completely ruined all others versions of this song for me. Not complaining though.

[@lunairies]

@w2aternooz cuz its so good, listening to other versions just feels flat compared to this.

[@dimentioo]

I hope this doesn’t include Pat Carrol’s version lmao

[@madelinejohnson7257]

It’s literally incalculable how much I’d pay to see a full performance of TLM with her as ursula

[@TrayAndIanBwayShow]

Lili Cooper is such a performer! I love her soooo much

[@stephonb12]

This is so much better than rebel wilson. By far this best cover of this I've ever seen. Great characterization, and superb voice!

[@lavone5541]

Wish I were witty Coz this is a Broadway singer, Rebel is just an actor. Theres no comparing the two.

[@catalinaroman8908]

she was made for this song!!!

[@RapidObsessor]

just went to see the original and the new versions and it's crazy how much better lilli is. the drama alone is crazy.

[@selenawolf2466]

"What's the fucking line?!" Hello Velvette XD

[@lyra3517]

Her voice is just beyond this world like it’s actually incredible 🤯

[@luistrejo3326]

Damn velvet sure can sing

[@jmarcoph]

Well, I do think she didn't seem to make that mistake appear a mistake after all!!! Very well played and has exceptionally made the audience participate to correct the mistake.. if that is what you can call a mistake. But for me, it's superbly perfect!!! The character's ALIVE!!! Everything's on point... BBBRRRRAAAVVVIIISSSSSIIMMOOO!!!!

[@twystedhumour]

yeah, i had to laugh at people calling those excerpts as "mistakes." Lilli is an experienced broadway actress, with hundreds of hours devoted to memorizing lines. those "mistakes" were for effect, and it worked!

[@hoppytoad79]

No performer's as good as covering their mistakes as she is unless they've learned how to be that good from years of experience of making mistakes and then doing their best to make it look like they meant to do that. ;D

[@iraterats7705]

the guy at 1:42 being blinded by the light is such a mood like how do people get used to that even??

How is Lilli Cooper so good at everything she does

[@Indiegirl007]

I just want to mesh this version and the Titus Burgess version together. The flavor would be amazing.

[@kpickett1-eaglepotato399]

Very few people can pull off a performance in which the mistakes make it even better... fantastic in every way. Brava!

[@ameshatiwari563]

she killed this performance omg she'd be great for this role

[@sarahr6537]

[@ainsleyking7372]

I swear to god, I was listening to this song before my dance school's Christmas party and when my mom dragged me up to sing a Christmas song, I blanked and sang this instead. Spoiler alert: It doesn't quite hit the same when you don't have the fabulous piano. I blame you for this amazing song.

I swear this comes up at like oppsite times I am watching myself or reactors to episode 2 or 3 of Hazbin that I want to bring this up. Especially now that I am still convinced Velvette is the only one of the Vs who seems redeemable or at least who would be on the hotel's side.

[@finisanchez6828]

When she gave the microphone to the girl after saying "What I want from you is... your voice" and she just answered OK I felt SO DAMN ANGRY. How could she NOT know the line. Fuck it, I should've been in her place, I assure you I would've got up the stage and become Ariel myself.

[@geeky-wolf-arts]

Velvette as Ursula anyone?

[@niahart3038]

Lillie villainously nailed Ursula! She would make the Perfect Ursula for Disney Cast her as Ursula please She’s is two Villain to be Ursula!

[@mhiggs8001]

2:21 I can’t tell what the guy in the booth with the spotlight is thinking. He seemed pleased at first, but then he seems to be having an inner monologue where he is confused about whether he liked it or not, and by the end his face reads sorta offended a bit, like he didn’t appreciate something that just happened? Maybe it’s just the bright fuckin light blasting him in the face. Idk I’m probably overthinking it, wouldn’t be the first, or last, time. Lmao

My dear, sweet child. That's what I do. It's what I live for. To help unfortunate merfolk like yourself. Poor souls with no one else to turn to. I admit that in the past I've been a nasty They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch But you'll find that nowadays I've mended all my ways Repented, seen the light, and made a switch To this True? Yes. And I fortunately know a little magic It's a talent that I always have possessed And dear lady, please don't laugh I use it on behalf Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed (pathetic) Poor unfortunate souls In pain, in need This one longing to be thinner That one wants to get the girl And do I help them? Yes, indeed Those poor unfortunate souls So sad, so true They come flocking to my cauldron Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!" And I help them! Yes I do Now it's happened once or twice Someone couldn't pay the price And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals Yes I've had the odd complaint But on the whole I've been a saint To those poor unfortunate souls Have we got a deal? If I become human, I'll never be with my father or sisters again. But you'll have your man, heh heh. Life's full of tough choices, isn't it? Heh heh. Oh, and there is one more thing. We haven't discussed the subject of payment. But I don't have- I'm not asking much, just a token really, a trifle! What I want from you is - your voice. But without my voice, how can I- You'll have your looks, your pretty face. And don't underestimate the importance of body language, ha! The men up there don't like a lot of blabber They think a girl who gossips is a bore! Yet on land it's much prefered for ladies not to say a word And after all dear, what is idle babble for? Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation True gentlemen avoid it when they can But they dote and swoon and fawn On a lady who's withdrawn It's she who holds her tongue who get's a man Come on you poor unfortunate soul Go ahead! Make your choice! I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day It won't cost much Just your voice! You poor unfortunate soul It's sad but true If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet You've got the pay the toll Take a gulp and take a breath And go ahead and sign the scroll Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys The boss is on a roll This poor unfortunate soul
