HONEY HONEY- MAMMA MIA @ Hollywood Bowl

Dove Cameron- Sophie
Tiana Okoye- Lisa
Charlotte Mary Wen- Ali
I do not own the rights to this song.

[@lisaliubovich8478]

I really don't understand why people don't like Dove here. Amanda Seyfried will always be my favorite Sophie but Dove sings this very well from a technical standpoint. She has very healthily placed belts and low notes. Her vibrato is really clear and easy. I think the reason for her making her voice a bit deeper is because she's imitating her mom. Donna has a deeper voice than Sophie so it makes sense since Sophie is reading her diary and she can't possibly imagine what her mom sounded like when she was young, only how she sounds when she's older. Either way, I think Dove did great.

[@carlymattern6657]

I totally agree! I also think going with that faux "soul" texture cold have just been character choice and I actually really love. im auditioning for Sophie and I'm combining both Dove and Amanda for inspiration to this song. Like you said she is very technically good singer. I saw some people hating on her for singing "lawny" but she has the correct mouth position for singing the vowel sound, but people who aren't vocalists don't know that

[@cartoonfreak9635]

In have adirty mind i read vibrator

[@freyadx4480]

SAME

[@itsameprincesspeach]

I think the main problem is her voice is too high pitched for the song. And her acting on this is pretty ok

[@fawnrattner4651]

@MakeupNerd I know. I like Dove's voice. She's not a bad singer at all, she's actually good. The thing is, her voice just doesn't suit the song. The instrumental is also not the best, it sounds like an amateur production.

[@ashareeoo]

I'm not even a Dove fan but she sounds exceptional in this range. She has a really nice mixed tone, perfect for musical theatre! So I don't get all the hate 😅

[@Nope-jl5rs]

David Caballero they had only a few days to rehearse it and the bad quality of the video and the mics make the sound totally different. To be fair you really cannot judge the voices with this quality... The song is even slower in the video and I think all the voices are darker

[@sofiagc3215]

In my opinion Dove is quite one the best singers of the decade

[@morgano4555]

She's over pronunciating which is fine for some songs but doesn't sound right for this one

[@kittykat-oz6me]

i agree. she didn't quite fit the song. and of course the music will be off since it's not abba playing it. abba played for mamma mia

[@MillionsOfRaindropsStitch]

I agree, this song just isn't her song

[@miregal5346]

[@mariaroman5080]

It really does

[@julianahayden9724]

Idk why people are hating on dove. She has an AMAZING voice and doesn't deserve this hate AT ALL.

[@KatieMelendez]

WHY IS THE INSTRUMENTAL SO LOUD

[@ErikaWillenbrecht]

Katie Colvin it's hard to turn down the instrumentals if they have a live band. When I was in high school we were always told to sing loud because they can't turn down the band. Might be the case here

[@samisntalesbian2349]

It’s just a bad recording. From the audience, it sounded normal.

[@addykress9578]

The fix to this is turn up the mikes on

[@capucine9791]

Can people stop comparing her to Amanda? She had to sing this live while moving on stage but Amanda’s version was recorded in a studio and probably altered so we can’t compare them

[@KanadeLapis]

Amanda has done live singing before. she's just better than Dove in everyway. people notice the acting, the voice and all that Dove is not right for this role.

[@sigmadonnie6081]

Well Amanda played Cosette LIVE from Les Miserables on Oscar stage before so...

[@charlottesellars1348]

Kanade Lapis stop hating on her she worked her hardest, she doesn't deserve the hate

[@LifeOfAnAwkwardOreo]

I don't even know this girl but I can tell when people are hating for no damn reason. She and Amanda are two completely different people and to put them against each other just for different renditions of a song and acting is ridiculously petty. Guys stop being childish because even Mama Mia the film was somewhat cringy in certain aspects. This girl has no control over this. They tell her how they want it sang and how they want it her to portray the character. Stop being childish and wake up to real world The reality is that they wouldn't have picked her if she were that bad. Same with every other actor and actress.

[@sophiakadi5964]

You are right

[@princesslilyfromtheisleoft2649]

Dove did fantastic! I'm so happy she's cracking her Disney shell and moving on to big projects that will help her grow. Keep shining Dove, I'm so proud of you.❤

[@nevaehhorst-wade5163]

I really don't understand the hate on Dove. I think she did amazing in Mamma Mia! If you don't like Dove, don't watch the video. There's no need for hate and to say she's awful because she's not.

[@charlottesellars1348]

[@madisonnielsen3490]

Her vocals are beautiful but I wish her acting/energy was more consistent

[@allison3852]

she DOES Lauren are u saying Amanda a BETTER Sophie she BETTER AS Liv Maddie and Mal

[@jesse_mills3075]

Yeah she be talking way too fast too! She’s used to the TV acting

[@ou-7631]

Tem que levar em consideração que eles tiveram apenas 10 dias para ensaiar

[@Bruisedfruitoriginal.]

@@jesse_mills3075she’s talking fast on PURPOSE!! I can understand her clearly and completely fine for one, two she’s acting like an excited young girl who’s reading her mom’s diary to her friends…that’s pretty accurate. 😐😐

[@katdoe4779]

Wow, Dove was great! Impressed!

[@charlottesellars1348]

Fairy Kat yeah she was don't see why so many people are hating on her

[@karensmith330]

Amanda was the best Sophie ❣️

[@flozy5275]

totally

[@marinakontogianni110]

she was but the best sophie for me is demy from Greece!!

[@Augustchica814]

To be fair, Amanda was in a movie and Dove is doing this live.

[@marinakontogianni110]

+Alonna Gilmore and demy is doing this live so? I went in November and I'm speechless

[@karensmith330]

I don't care, Amanda's voice and acting makes Sophie more sweet and real.

[@anasofialozano365]

Why does everyone hate this!? Dove is amazing, she worked really hard for this and even though she is not the best, she will continue getting better

[@madison3975]

Also it is probably easier to be better when everything is pre-recorded like it is for a movie, Dove is singing live so it can not be smoothed out like you could with a recording

[@TheTundraInfest]

In her defense. You only have three days ish to rehearse and figure out what is going on. Hollywood bowl musicals are no joke. It's crazy hard.

[@SongRainbows]

Speaking technically, Dove is a little flat here and she sings extremely forward into her nose, and nasal resonance doesn’t carry over a band well at all. Which isn’t her fault, because for some reason modern voice teachers now say that singing into your nasal cavity resonates well, but all of the old most famous opera singers in the world (Caruso) were extremely against it. This is why you can’t hear any of the singers. Either way I still think she’s amazing and wonderfully talented, she’s not going to be perfect, no one is! People are so hard on her as if they could do better.

[@kayleigh8055]

The overall production is something you would see in our high school thespian festivals...

[@letswatchyoutube2642]

Abby Devonne It’s not a matter of whether she tried her best or not, it’s a matter if she played Sophie well or not, and she didn’t. She has an amazing voice and has been great in many things, this is just not one of them.

👏🏻

[@TedEhioghae]

Dove Cameron (the girl) is actually a famous actress, she acted in Disney series Liv and Maddie and Disney movies Descendants, Descendants 2.

[@cryingOnions]

I mean they might choose a more known actress to attract an audience by putting the famous actresses name over the production especially with her in the lead. But I also dont think Dove did a bad job here? And besides, as it is with every play, the way you express the script is always up to your imagination. I have seen so so many different plays of Waiting for Godot and every one of them was different to the other despite following the exact same script

[@margauxvirra]

Agreed this is theater it’s not like someone can be in the SAME role for yrs and dove is a good singer it’s just not the singer they all expect (Amanda)

[@eunice1940]

dove is hardly ever hated on, she is one of the best singers in this decade ngl, but this song didnt do her talent justice + amanda cannot be beaten as sophie :) i say all that while being a very hardcore dove fan aha

[@samuelbrown112]

As much as I hate to admit Dove Cameron has got quite a bit of talent. Could definitely see her on Broadway as Glinda in a few years.

[@lymay8340]

I actually love Dove's voice

[@catherinechia3208]

Happy gal u know Dove have lots of song from disney ahow From descadants.. and Liv and Maddie

[@MackBell723]

Dove as Sophie done an amazing job, her pitch and acting is spot on. She really knows the Mamma Mia movie for sure. Thanks for sharing the vids, Tiana, this gives us all a chance to see these epic videos.... sensational acting and a lot of fun.

[@Kate-ju6yw]

I just love dove Cameron’s voice!!!!!

[@marcelajara9287]

Dove did a really great job on this. Having in mind the pressure she must felt by everyone obviously comparing

[@chloejane5442]

Everyone's giving hate saying her voice is cringe and she's making it deeper (acting ppl) and obviously you are going to like the original more it's the original 😂 love you dove you did great xx

[@TianaMay2001]

the movie isn't the original...

[@luvhoneyyy]

so many people hating on dove, but I honestly thing she did so good in this production. I loved Amanda, but I don’t have a favorite. Honestly they are both so wonderful as Sophie. I think dove played it wonderfully, and I think Amanda was amazing as Sophie.

[@jazlynsyvretcreative9282]

I think her voice is awesome, but the whole thing looked like an amateur performance. It doesn’t really help her voice sound good. She’s not Amanda. It doesn’t matter if you guys think so or not, you can’t give someone a shot if you just keep comparing them to someone else

[@jacquelynseiler4058]

I love dove’s voice and I think she plays Sophie well, but I think it looks more like a high school production than a professional one, based on the instrumentals at least

[@tettycooper8841]

[@wijhenaarplays5826]

[@karyn387]

Why the hate on Dove, she did an amazing job as Sophie, she was just doing it her way so nothing wrong with that. FYI I think she was born for musicals❤😂

[@viqtoriely1463]

I just feel like many people should understand that movie acting is very different from the theatre acting and comparing Amanda and Dove isn’t exactly the best idea...

[@emilys8890]

Much better singer than I thought from watching her Disney stuff. She has a much bigger range and is a more expressive actor in this. Yes to people who like the original I get it. But she did great. This was a live version and her voice is different. So while it might not be as high as the original. It works for her. Plus unlike the movie she doesn’t get editing.

[@celiar1726]

The track isn’t doing the girls well, dove sounds fine in my opinion

[@jayde4712]

[@valeriz9927]

she has a very good technique props to her for singing live and moving it’s very difficult

[@romrom920]

Her technique is awful lol. She is closing off her throat and ruining her breath control which is giving her that weird "singing lower than I can" sound. I think she's trying to be sultry but hoo boy does it flop.

[@caeli6746]

[@samazoid]

so unfair for that one girl who has to wear heels and her two co-actors are in flats lol

[@katiehenderson3580]

Sam Asher she might have requested it cause some people have ankle problems and small heels really help. I am one of them so I can attest.

[@Nanobeebee]

It's most likely because the character Sophie is meant to be shorter than her two friends.

[@chionesandylands8018]

Also they look like character shoes which are very comfortable to perform in (for me at least), I prefer acting in characters to anything else tbh

[@isaaa9162]

also she lives on the island so knows what’s comfortable, whereas her two friends are just visiting for the first time so that’s probably why they’ve got heels onnn :)

OK I know Dove Cameron is supposed to look perfect in every moment but if you watch mamma mia original version you'll notice Amanda's character looks more natural even I think she isn't wearing make up so Dove could forget about all the make up and false lashes come on honey you are beautiful and perfect. By the way good interpretation and her voice is like an angel's.

[@arialee1199]

Luisiana Villegas hun, I'm sorry but this is theatre and she's wearing stage makeup?? I totally get where ur coming from but if she wasn't wearing makeup the lights and size of the stage would wash her out and the people who r sitting in the back wouldn't see the features of her face. I do musical theatre and we always pack on the makeup or u can't rlly see the faces of the actors

[@cee2485]

I agree. I mean, obviously you need SOME makeup, but they should have picked a lighter shade of lipstick, maybe a little less eyeshadow, instead of falsies maybe just some mascara, etc. I know it’s still not THAT natural, but makeup is necessary for a good on-stage performance. Maybe just a little less + more neutral colours.

[@Garmstrong2001]

Stage makeup will always look extreme when you have a camera close up. Live performance isn't about how well it photographs, and dramatic colors are what translate to an audience sitting 20-70 feet away from you.

[@christophergraham6571]

Luisiana Villegas you have to wear stage makeup when performing to be able to show more expressions in your face. The “original” isnt the movie. The movie came AFTER the on stage version back in 2000. Amanda didnt originate the role.

[@Maria-ql9wl]

oh honey i definitely like the original better than this version but theres no way im gonna agree with this. Its a stage production, she kinda has to wear heavier makeup. Hate to brake it to you, but amanda was wearing makeup too (it was just way lighter).
