[@TGTSTS]

Ronette, Chiffon, and Crystal are EASILY the best part about this show.

[@graciebastabletv8133]

TGTSTS true

[@Holly-cx5xz]

yessssss I'm playing ronette in my school play and I'm loving it also im only 13 in a whole high school play xxx

[@logantyree6103]

I agree

[@brendajean77359]

Agree they were in the cast when I saw it on Broadway

[@mochiluv5161]

ABSOLUTELY

[@Thebluegoth]

Oh my god they are just such a perfect trio, I can’t believe how well their voices go together

[@robbybevard8034]

Its crazy that she seems legit surprised that the other two are there... and then they're able to *instantly* go into a well oiled fully rehearsed rendition. They have that song down cold.

[@TripleThreatCommaThe]

I've been in that show twice, nine years apart. I could pick up those harmonies like I never left. And I can do it still. This show gets in your soul.

[@africanarchy]

wow their ranges are outrageous and i love them so much

[@ahmadtate821]

“Oh no I need my girls for that” YES QUEENS

[@Dario2nd]

Awesome they kill it right on spot! TOP!

[@keithcurran923]

My god, Seymour is APPALLING. STEALING FOCUS. Making every line a LINE. But, the puppeteer is phenomenal. The Voice Of The Plant is also great (they’re two different people). I was TVOTP myself once, regionally, and the puppeteer (the original Off-B’way puppeteer) and I spent HOURS on coordination. I had to lock in my vocals pretty quick and sing them exactly the same at every performance. He was incredibly sensitive, very musical, was very good at nuance and following riffs. He was also an amazing athlete with, for a tall, in shape guy, ginormous arms.

[@davidpacheco7124]

Saw them twice on Broadway They can sang!!!!!!!!!!!!!💖💖💖

[@Elphaba88]

this is now one of my favorite things!! Thank you!

[@Raphalou]

I have the original 1982 cast album. With the exception of Ellen Greene, it was very lackluster. I have the original 1983 West End cast album and the original 1986 film album. The Urchins between 1983 and 1986 were on point with their vocals and harmony, ( not to discredit Jennifer, Sheila, and Leilani) but Tichina was in the original West end production in 1983, and the brought back to do the film along with Michelle and Tisha in 1986. They had stronger stage voices and a stronger sound. I liked how the musical director made the songs less bubble gum bouncy and more cohesive. He smoothed out the rough edges and allowed all the young ladies to sing lead.

[@devonferris]

That was FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!! AAAAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhh LOL, so good, almost like the original

[@socorrosoymaxy]

+devonferris This is the original girl group :D

[@legoghostyoda]

honestly better in my honest opinion! always preferred the 2003 cast to the movie

[@jaguar4u2012]

this actually made a cynical guy like me smile from ear to ear damn it was sweet and genuine and then she is so excited yet eager to burst in song big like

[@lordyeetus6317]

Agreed, this is a day brightener, it's just too lovely!

[@AddisonRamirez]

this makes me so happy

[@veilenedream5825]

i love them so much. i can't listen without crying

[@fernandovillaveiran5500]

Oh....those voices!!!! Chapeau!!!

[@teaspoon5476]

I was so happy when the green light turned on

[@bryceboson9970]

I love them forever in my heart and soul

[@62kenmiles]

WOW,WOW,WOW,AMAZING .......

[@aprildawn7119]

OH WOW ! WONDERFUL ! I overlooked them for quite a few years but no more! BRAVO GIRLS BRAVO

[@chadmeredith1198]

This is wonderful! Thank you!

[@deondrej.jackson8129]

She was in Joyful Noise

[@Gmaraio7233]

WOW!!! AMAZING!!!!

[@thepinkus27]

Iconic 💕

[@nanawilson5543]

BRAVA!

[@demarcobennett9694]

Oh wow this was great

[@beaumorris5289]

Damn that was good.

[@jtrobins1]

Good, but no one can touch Tisha Campbell and the original.

[@neworleans202]

These are the originals

[@giannialdhaircervantesleyv8836]

Okay guys. I hope you do know Little Shop of Horrors was an off-Broadway play before the motion picture happened. So, Tisha, Tichina and Michelle aren't (sadly) the "originals".

[@lilakylalives9326]

Angelisa Hassan these women are from the original broadway cast. But the show was off broadway before it came to Broadway. It was also a film

[@itsORcinneo]

And that the musical wasn't even the original...

[@MrJhuff10]

These ladies aren’t the original. But they started the Broadway version in 2003. Tisha Campbell, to China Arnold and Michelle weeks did the movie before these ladies in 1986 so yeah technically the movie cast is the original before these ladies.

[@AmarEnergy]

I wanna sing with them!!

[@butternuttt]

that was amazing mind blowing!!

[@franinconverse]

Flawless

[@benlong9431]

ICONIC

[@ricardofelicio5787]

The best vídeo in my whole life

[@toymatthews1679]

Hey Dequina! Look what I found!!!!!

[@lamontrussell1524]

Wow they are amazing. Who’s on the top part?

[@rocoya18]

The original ladies are great but i love the movie version better they had better harmonies and rifts

[@trulyn2855]

can you do me a favor and shut up

[@teaspoon5476]

I need my girls

[@jpetersgoyanks]

Now do “Some Fun Now”

[@theredtopreview2395]

Jordan Peters you mean Ya never know?

[@MarcelinoSoliz]

Some fun now isn’t in the play. It’s only the movie and it’s awful. Ya never know it’s better.

[@jpetersgoyanks]

@@MarcelinoSoliz “awful”? Nonsense! Though I shouldn’t be surprised, I’m sorry to say your grammar makes almost anything appear as nonsense. More to the point, I prefer the R&B influence in Some Fun Now which is more true to the characters and the time. You Never Know is more show tune-y than Some Fun and while that’s typical for a number that has to do what they both do I find Some Fun more in line with the characters. The same way Sondheim wanted the lyrics in West Side Story to be less flowery and more how young street kids would really talk but Bernstein wanted more prose so that’s what they did.

[@FaytLinegod]

Tisha Campbell, Tichina Arnold and Michelle Weeks did it so much better, IMO.

[@docman2840]

I agree

[@danity111]

Agreed

[@cinnamonstar808]

you have to remember the age difference. They were 14, 15 years old } their voice is going to sound Doo-wop TEEN. because ... they are teens They vocals fit the role. These are grown women; its hard to hit the notes after so many years. I dont think TIsha/Tichina and Michelle can duplicated the sound; because your voicebox ages. Madonna sounds nothing like her 1st songs:😁 Britney, Rihanna Taylor Swift, U2, Bon Jovi, Beyonce, Rolling Stones Jay Z because that era is gone with time. Mariah Carey cannot hit those notes😁😆😅 I wont to hear her sing Emotions in 2023

[@jonathandpg6115]

And I think people like you do not deserve to watch any show.

[@gaymenarepretty1015]

this was so perfect

[@twinkiesauce1852]

who was that lead singer

[@KeldorDAntrell]

Yes, she's great isn't she? I'd like to see her in something else...like a bikini perhaps.

[@YhetyProductions]

Keldor D'Antrell what is actually wrong with you?

[@KeldorDAntrell]

There's nothing wrong with me. Of you, I'm not so sure. For a start, what happened to your sense of humour? Then, what's wrong with pointing out that someone is sexually attractive? Would she find it insulting? Did I use obscene language? Could I have? Next, why am I feeding you...?

[@YhetyProductions]

Keldor D'Antrell this is a video of her singing. she doesn't want to be objectified and sexualized. it's not funny, it's sexist and gross. grow up

[@KeldorDAntrell]

Pah. Doesn't want to be sexualised? I don't sexualise her. She already is sexualised - being as she's a person with a sex life (or are we going to assume she doesn't have that?). Then, how have I objectified her? Saying I'd like to see her in a bikini was a way of saying I find her attractive. I didn't say I wanted to use her as a sex object. I can't speak for you but I like to have relationships with women. Next, how do you know what she wants? She might be a nymphomaniac. She might happen to find me the best-looking man she's ever set eyes on. Last of all, if you think female entertainers don't want to look good when performing then you don't know women. She's gone to lengths to look good - and that has nothing to do with singing and everything to do with attracting male attention. She's wearing a tight-fitting dress that shows off her figure, make-up and jewellery, and does attractive dance moves e.g. 1:16.

[@Muse_86]

Icónicas

[@benbae3449]

Open your faces

[@CallMeGabi]

LMAOOO

[@brianpelaccio4092]

do you think they rehearsed this, or just fell right back into it?

[@dickiegreenleaf750]

Sounded beautiful for pretending it was spontaneous 😂

[@jaguar4u2012]

I'm a people person that was genuine trust me I spot a fake from a mile

[@captainKbobkeeshan]

[@mariaangela4905]

does anyone who does the lower harmonies out of 3? is ronnette?

[@Ornacia29]

Wait a minute theyre not from the motion picture are they?

[@spicegirlslover4ever618]

No, Broadway.

Did the middle play a part in the film??

[@docman2840]

Gracie BastableTV No.

[@docman2840]

Gracie BastableTV no that was Michelle Weeks

[@lilakylalives9326]

Gracie BastableTV this isn’t from the film. This is from the Broadway show. All 3 of them were the urchins in the Broadway show

[@docman2840]

She had an attitude

[@djdoc06]

Sorry, it’s wonderful that they can still sing so well, fantastic range, but one of the three goes off the rails over and over again.

[@MrMikesok]

Ooh David's kinda rude lol

[@docman2840]

They were off

[@JohnDoe-ks3mh]

Extra flat. Smh

[@RocknRollDina]

They sound good but too robotic. The voices don't flow like the movie

[@jonathandpg6115]

oh shut it. First comparing a movie to live. Second they where there role before the movie
