Marla Mindelle - Colors of the Wind

[@MrCharliebush]

I once heard this performance described as, "she's not a bad singer, she just makes choices, and every choice is the wrong one" and I think about it all the time

[@dannnyy8]

matt and bowen brought me here

[@gwendolynwind9235]

Same

[@josharmenta]

I have used this in more than one graduate seminar in my teaching career as an example of well-structured performance art. Brava!

[@abydosianchulac2]

The best part about repeat viewings is that you can see the genius that went into choreographing the ensemble around Marla. I particularly love the two kids playing patty-cake before looking traumatized by the tree being cut down, and the three dancers entering BOUNCING on the three balls before they throw them, besides all the random abuse Marla heaps on the dancers, but I really just love how the poor bear can't stay propped up on the balls of his feet at all!

[@Smartpplz161]

I cannnot describe the feeling of going back to a video with comments from 11 years ago, and still feeling like its something everyone needs to see at least once

[@arronholman]

2:54-3:04 she nails it. It is so hard to sing so bad and make it sound so good. Reminds me of Madeline Kahn's performance in Blazing Saddles. On par with it definitely.

[@kSchmidt583]

READERS this is for bowen and matt

[@katherineeichler]

Pleaseeee check out her part of your world too or the man that got away they are v different but also iconic culture

[@jtaylorwright0]

i have watched this too many times, but never read the description. A MILLION times YAS to the description. May this video stay on youtube forever

[@butterflytaster5553]

To think her role in Sister Act as Mary Robert introduced me to Marla...

[@maxwellkorn9956]

It's 2021 and this is still very important.

[@1990davidbrown]

Still required viewing / the only appropriate interpretation of this song.

[@nathanaelparker430]

She is an incredible singer. I love this sort of humour

[@blondjon]

I watch this clip about 4-6 times a year....I LOVE YOU MARLA

[@musicspeaks5]

[@amndad]

Hello readers & Katies!

[@tanjadobele3481]

Adorable. Saw it about 15 years ago and still love it

[@thebearclown]

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR RE-POSTING! me and my friend used to sing this to each other every day last year, and at one point we were going to re-create it for our senior project! alas, the recreation never took place. but the video must live on!!

[@geoffreytaylor3542]

Here after Las Culturistas

[@rickyp2b]

YAY! SO SO SO pleased that this is back up! it cheers me up no end!

[@josharmenta]

I still use this as a teaching aid in my classes at Peabody Conservatory.

[@NealMichelleNoelani]

Oh god. I saw Pocahontas today and I couldn't stop laughing when she sings this song. I had to pause and watch this. I'm pretty sure my fav. part is the random "YEAH" she throws in. Lol

[@Romans12-1]

This is Stunning in its beauty and brilliance. How wonderful to match face and voice....

[@suicidalmickeym0use]

Hello from 2020. I keep coming back year after year!

[@umtanzer]

Marla AND Marin?! What a video! ❤❤❤

[@thebearclown]

@abydosianchulac2 The heron is getting SO into it when he flies over to stand next to her. This is too good for words.

[@shadyslots]

Oh my God, from this to Celine, Marla is amazing !!!

[@Sandlot1992]

her bad singing reminds me of Madeline Kahn's performance from Blazing Saddles!

[@tournesoldancer17]

[@Javaisreve]

Is that Marin Mazzie at the end?!...btw fierce

[@amndad]

Sure was. ♡♡♡

[@TMontierth]

hahahahaahhhahahahaahhahahahaha 1:48 is my favorite thing ever.

[@MikeDIY]

Does anyone know where this performance was?

[@cutiepuppy4427]

It was from the Red Bucket Follies (formerly known as Gypsy of the Year) in 2006.

[@caterrachel]

1. Where is this from? 2. I think Marin at the end truly completes the performance.

[@shambaby]

Connor, I have a studio recording of this song that sounds similar. It was not labeled and someone told me it was Alix Korey. So, this is all I have ever known. Do you know anything about the original studio version? Why does it often sound different? Where does the recorded accompaniment come from? I really want to have clarity about this. Any and all details would be appreciated.

[@NickRogersSings]

This is hilarious!!!!!!!

[@sp-spanglish]

Holy crap. This is 15 years old?

[@ninabean100]

So incredibly funny - I can't stand it!

[@greexican87]

[@mingxia96]

Where was this performance from?

[@ooze333]

2:53 Comic Gold.

[@shambaby]

Hello, Connor, I accidentally deleted your comment on my page. Do you know anything about the video recording that claims to be Marla Weiner? Can you tell me more about your creation of this?

[@broadwaybabe99]

she is SO funny. i saw her in a tour of the drowsy chaperone and she was to die for.

[@KMartin12786]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@mmmar1087]

This is one of the best things I have ever seen!!! The last 45 seconds are amazing. Where was this done at?

[@helenkeller93083]

[@kattierivas1384]

holy fudge balls this is to damn funny!!!!

[@MracoK]

it's the cast of Beauty and the Beast... from the 18th Annual Gypsy of the Year... :)

[@AlexHurleyMusic]

"'Teresa Giudice will make her Broadway debut in the new revival of Pocohantas starting August 5th"

[@HelloMuchBetter13]

I have no idea what this is from, but I was already in hysterics over Marla, and then you have Marin Mazzie at 3:41 and...well, that's all she wrote. No longer breathing. It's fine.

[@blake-pfeil]

This is so funny.

[@santaclaus123]

@UrInTown of course! I learned from the best (@DaniSssss.)

[@hershjeff]

Wait, so was this video made for comedic purposes? She's not that awkward of a singer, is she?

[@frappucino17]

How old is she??
