OBSESSED! Colleen Ballinger: The Origins of "Miranda Sings"

www.playbill.co...
All it takes is a little lipstick, hairpins and some coaxing from Seth to get Colleen Ballinger to tap into her crazy KZbin alter ego Miranda.

[@kkmadi1]

Anyone else getting this recommendation after Colleen finished Broadway

[@E3g4]

Rachel Rachels yep meeeeeee the bangs tho

[@creativename7888]

Meeeeee

[@scamlikelyk6556]

yes!!!

[@Vendelaz]

yup das why im here

[@melissaseng2561]

kkmadi1 me too!!

[@karolinaandovska2381]

Recommending an 8 year old video. Thanks, algorithm.

[@kbaylor123]

Karolina Andovska I’m glad they did though!

[@karolinaandovska2381]

@@kbaylor123 Same tbh

[@anahifoladare7449]

Anyone watching this after Colleen joined the Waitress cast on Broadway?

[@Whatdafaccio]

Anahi Foladare no

[@liveloveandlol]

Remember when Miranda was a semi normal person lol lol

[@glamjordanj]

Ikrrrrr😂😂

[@lydiabell4989]

I know it is so crazy how much she has evolved!

[@sssophie9292]

Jamie Wheatley so more exaggerated now haha Even the free voice lesson is like so normal 😂

[@sssophie9292]

Ruby Anne Locklear it's half realistic Based on real people. That's what was funny because she was believable and then we realised it was this other colleen girl putting it on. Which was great 😀

[@auromz9848]

I think she went from an actual satire of real people to an exaggerated clown-like character. It's an odd but still interesting metamorphosis

[@rye2973]

And years later, here we are with her with a nine moth old and just ended her run in Waitress.

[@CoriSchimko]

i wish they did her real voice for this tho :/

[@ashleywinn1208]

SAME

[@MiaSanders17]

Cori Schimko true

[@JulietteVeronica1201]

I freaking hate her Miranda character. Colleen as herself is great and her voice is magical.

[@AlexeBriand2002]

JulietteMarie so you hate how she got famous? :/

[@JulietteVeronica1201]

Sixale Blü I just don’t like the Miranda character. Is that so bad? I still love Colleen as her genuine self tho.

[@icantbetamedx12]

How have I just now seen this

[@Jesusthelivingsun]

right??? lmaooo

[@NatureAG]

I KNOW

[@cohlesmith]

SAMMMEEEEE

[@hopelesslyjaded2186]

I love Colleen. She was having fun in this interview and a lot of times it can be really awkward, so I appreciate that he made her feel welcome and not awkward

[@bigred8432]

+Morgan Glanden Being awkward is her issue not anyone elses.

[@hopelesslyjaded2186]

:D Youre funny. BYE FELICIA

[@bigred8432]

+Morgan Glanden It's true, if you are awkward you deal with. Nobody can do it for you.

[@sssophie9292]

LiterallyMorgan great interview! It's cool how interested he was and he understood 😀

[@TheSoundsage]

This girl belongs on Broadway.

[@dariakim]

little did you know...

[@loganh6086]

well do i have news for you

[@heidycoleman9043]

Yes

[@collinkilloran5721]

Well...

[@jillkopera8243]

TheSoundsage she is now is 2019

[@annan5853]

I think Miranda was a lot more amusing around this time.

[@runner4life551]

Right! She was more realistic but off in all the right ways

[@KAZAM707]

Yup!!

[@maddietillem6778]

I completely agree! She overdoes it now, the whole point of Miranda is that she's awkward and weird, the best part is that we used to be able to compare her to people in our lives. Now, it's just kind of annoying.

[@laurenvo8336]

And now she just finished her broadway run...

[@maddierivers485]

Ok. But now she’s going to be on broadway. Like what a full circle moment

[@MediaLover194]

I give Seth props for not cracking up throughout the whole thing.

[@CrapBag]

he totally did though

[@ohmagaod]

What I love is that people keep talking about "the pianist", when Seth Rudetsky was a legit performer and pianist in the business before Miranda ever came around. Weird how the internet changes things.

[@AdrionProbe]

Colleen needs to react to this video

[@mspoetical2089]

Omg colleen's bangs.

[@loopsbylucia]

Have Colleen back on to do the act from her show where she sings "Think of Me" in both her real voice and her Miranda voice!

[@youtubepasserby8339]

they never did :'(

[@ageavamailat]

i love how she just effortlessly gets into character!

[@astrowiz3544]

5:48 I CANT STOP LAUGHING OMFG! Neither can Seth apparently 😂 I love Miranda, I love Seth, I love Colleen, how have I not seen this sooner?? and omfg 6:10 "didnt hurt myyyy life either" instead of "didnt hurt my sex life either," im dying😂😂😂😂

[@kristenfrascati8988]

They should make a broadway play of Miranda songs

[@emmel.6231]

Oml the zooming I'm crying 😂

[@Jack-on2fb]

The fact that Colleen was here and then now she just finished her broadway debut like that is CRAZY I LOVE COLLEEN

[@linnycrocus6023]

I love that it was the Broadway community that embraced Miranda first.

[@elinkarlsson2854]

it's so fun to see how much miranda has changed over the years!!

[@mikahbeck-b4s]

well this is awkward coming back here now…

[@abstractswirls]

2018 and watching this. Colleen's bangs look so pretty :) Colleen and Miranda have gotten so far since then ! Still going strong

[@cupcakeva6573]

HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE

[@omsmada]

she almost reminds me a little bit of, like, a musical Aubrey Plaza...

[@johnathanfeldhouse3956]

please make Miranda Sings: The Musical

[@Emmy01077]

Colleen needs to play Christine Daae in Phantom Of The Opera!!

[@isabelerhart9523]

Emilio Rodriguez, Counter Tenor yes

[@LucyGoose13]

fetus miranda!!

[@alyssacooksey7937]

He bangs are tragic. I’m loving short hair

[@jovindsouza3407]

Well this is awkward.

[@ethan7010]

Miranda is so different now! I love Seth and Colleen !

[@whatdoyousuppose]

Watching in 2014 :) still one of my favorite videos with two (or three?) of my favorite people: Seth Rudetsky, Colleen Ballinger, and Miranda.

[@gabriellajnova]

Colleen looks like April ludgate in this video lol

[@CDawg]

I love how you can see the "Miranda Brows" going at 2:56.

[@gabisrluna]

KZbin 2011: nope KZbin 2019: let's recommend it!!

[@oliverdavis2422]

Love getting recommended this NOW I'd like to see her react to this and her hair now

[@MateoG7788]

"Dance ten, looks three, and I'm still on unenjoyment. Dancing for my own enjoyment." I am literally cackling right now. Love her.

[@johnmichaels9981]

“No one gets famous from KZbin” ...

[@brutusbassoon]

omg two people that I am OBSESSED with! thank you for this interview!

[@leonorgouveiayoussef3742]

the story how miranda sings was created changes every time but every time is funnier

[@OmarPhoenix]

I would literally be a pile of bones on the floor if I was that accompanist. I’m screaming at this video! Colleen/Miranda is amazing

[@samah9291]

It’s hard to believe that 2011 was EIGHT years ago

[@springboard1994]

YT just recommended this to me. Wow! This is wonderful! I miss this Colleen. I love how her talent and creativity was celebrated so much by the mainstream at one time. What's their problem now??

[@beforetheline4356]

WHY HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS OH MY GOD

[@kazzyh5913]

Love the character of Miranda Sings and love Colleen Ballinger! There should be Miranda Sings - The musical on Broadway! 💖

[@marinifernandez14]

two characters in one she's sooo good

[@Czarjonz]

I'm so glad I found this video. I've been dying to watch Colleen "transform" into Miranda. I dig them both. Thanks.

[@1Dpluslindsey]

She's not even shy or embarrassed. Like she's awesome

[@thesnowwhite2]

What I am so amazed at is that she can keep a straight face and not laugh! It is like watching SNL when the actors dont break out in laughter at the crazy things they are doing! I saw her live and she made a huge mistake in the song and it didnt even faze her. When I asked her about it after the show, she broke character only for a second to say she had never done that before...but then she was right back to Miranda! I LOVE HER so much...she seriously makes my day!

[@craigharmon9494]

It's a shame she got tired of doing Miranda. It was such a great idea, and she let it go from the comedic shine we see her, into something bland, and then, she just didn't want to do it at all, and now she is obsessed with revealing her 3 children on KZbin in excruciatingly long daily posts. Every detail about the children, and things she purchased. I never saw anyone throw a good idea away, quite as she did.

[@v.8097]

I'm so proud of her

[@mimar3052]

Miranda was one of my favorite character EVER. Thank you so much for the great entertainment, Colleen.

[@ZinniaDoesNothing]

So…This is awkward

[@TomServo1969]

That haircut was doing Colleen no favors.

[@meirabrown5950]

Now she's in a Broadway show with playbill

[@cutieprincess431]

She's so gorrrrrrrgeous!! And her normal talking voice is perfection

[@eveeludbrook]

It's actually difficult for people to sing purposefully out of tune like that! I have a feeling the duff notes were written as such! She's very talented!!

[@myasalazar6128]

Obsessed Colleen Ballinger She my favorite KZbinr love her character Miranda Sings I Do watch her been Almost For Six years she funny and stuff

[@someidiotontheinternet1955]

.........Pal I've got some news

[@briluv33]

Shes really pretty with out all of that stuff!! Like her hair do and the lipstick!!!

[@1236984]

The transformation is like 2 completely different ppl! Love it!

[@LyssyRandom]

This aged well

[@anthonyhenrysmith]

once she started singing i finally got it!!!

[@c8linLibby]

She immediately transforms once she parts her hair. the lipstick just adds to miranda.

[@ItsMeOfficially]

She is honestly the gorgeous person I've ever seen.. and theres a lot of gorgeous people out there!

[@ApeEscape7]

This is so funny to watch in 2019 knowing Colleen and where Miranda is today lol

[@drakhos5820]

she hasn't changed AT ALL!!!!! I love that

[@inlovewithJLT]

"Dance: Ten; Looks: Three" from 'A Chorus Line'

[@broadwaybabi91]

SETH THANK YOU OH MY GOD THIS IS BRILLIANT!

[@joejoe5673]

She is so beautiful, I can't!

[@punkmonkey123]

Oh no those bangs

[@jackolson4655]

THOSE BANGS QUEEN

[@mondler107]

LMFAO. This. Was. Amazing. And how had I never seen it before? Lmao

[@adamemac]

Love you, Colleen!! If only you knew then that Miranda would land you countless international tours and 2 AMAZING seasons of your OWN show on Netflix. 💚☺

[@jordiewilson-perkins4453]

i love the way she stays in character when hes laughing

[@IceKicker18]

Its amazing the change some lipstick and hair clips makes, for real. hahaha.

[@LauraJane332]

I still can't believe its miranda without the shirt ;D

[@paumecasa]

she's so pretty!

[@angelaOFironside]

i love her brilliance with these

[@NewArtsParadigm]

So glad Seth did this interview. Miranda is an amazing phenomenon! Love to see what she'll come up with next. I want to know how Colleen cares for her voice in real life, now that she throws it around as Miranda.

[@ysnbg]

oh my gosh seth and colleen

[@GayleJLang]

Enjoying this for the first time in 2018! I loves ya Miranda!

[@rainepanda]

Seeing you transform into miranda was like an outer body wxperience

[@LizCapprini]

Colleen is genius by coming up with Miranda!! Im a fan!! Luv it!!

[@BlackAndBlueStainz]

She seems so cool and genuine.

[@solovief]

I love, love, love Miranda. But I also love, love, love Seth Rudetsky (thanks to finding his Turkey Lurkey Time breakdown). This means, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!!

[@Joey_JcM]

I fall in love at 2:20

[@eeli1]

I actually saw Colleen from youtube videos of The Last Five Years way before I had ever seen Miranda. She's such a talented person.

[@ThePosalie]

I LOVE U!!!! i remember a longgg time ago when i clicked on a video of urs on miranda sings and a person said in the comment i wasnt looking at the screen and i looked back and it scared the crap out of me i was thinking thats soo rude but know i know u were just acting and i was like ohhh thats not a real girl!! but i still love u miranda or colleen ur still beautiful

[@kbaylor123]

HOW have I not seen this until today?

[@prankCallers1436]

Haha I love how people actually think it's real and that Miranda is actually trying. Lol I've been watching Miranda videos for 3 years now I love her she's so funny!

[@connorsternberg7032]

2018 anyone? This is the good OG Miranda

[@demidooch]

i didn't know that Miranda was a character now i know i realise that colleen is really good at acting because i was persuaded that she was real! :O xx

[@Ciaron]

This video still elevates my mood!! :)

[@BuoyBlaise]

What if Miranda has been dressing up as Colleen this whole time...and Colleen is the character 😂

[@amazingrace98]

i love seth soo much

[@MsMusiclover1993]

you're so freaking talented! amazing!

[@Equus21]

Met her last night, she's sooo awesome and kind! :)

[@jamesmaples87]
