Rogers: Sound of Music Medley

[@jackthebassman1]

Our eldest granddaughter was a young cellist in the Northamptonshire Youth Orchestra and the first concert we went to I was expecting to see youngsters a bit out of tune and a few mistakes to boot - they started with this wonderful piece and I was absolutely knocked out and so were the rest of the audience. I always loved this piece of light classic and they cemented it in my very favourites.

Slutty dress. She is trashing the Sound of Music shame on her

[@bettydavies6716]

Danielle has just been one of the guests on Saturday Live on Radio4 and was asked to choose the closing music. She chose this. When Richard Coles asked her why she told him it was the greatest moment of her career that she will remember all her life. She had been deeply honoured to be asked to sing with the nation something that the incredible Julie Andrews sang ( I'm probably paraphrasing). Her admiration of Julie was perfectly transparent. I ask all the nay sayers to enjoy it for what it is a beautiful woman with a wonderful voice sharing the joy of music with the world.

[@yogajedi3337]

A pity she ruined this beautiful song with a heavy operatic tone and an annoying goat vibrato. They should chose someone who can sing well instead of someone barking it out.

[@silvr94]

"Too big, too operatic!" Have you ever tried to sing over an orchestra in a massive concert hall ?? Armchair critics...

[@ohmusicsweetmusic]

it's what microphones and chest voice are for. This isn't an opera.

[@silvr94]

It's just a different technique. Just as pop singers might find it hard to switch to opera at the snap of the fingers, classically trained singers might not know how to sing using pop technique. Btw Julie Andrews doesn't use chest voice on high notes, either. In fact, her technique is very classical.

[@mwamwa3488]

Why do people always sound like their rushing these songs and Julie sounds so comfortable and natural singing them oh yes JULIE'S THE QUEEN....

[@ohmusicsweetmusic]

yeah, you have to really "live" with a song for awhile to make it natural. Julie did that with every song she sang. The world is dimmer without her voice.

[@chriskeene1788]

Not only that to agree with the person before me, and I know this was two years ago but. These songs are incredibly high, they are in your head voice (if you knew anything about singing). They're up there in the register you have to be a Lock a solid concerto soprano to sing these songs. Most of the people who try are not concerto Sopranos, Julie was and could sing up in that hire register. So she found it very easy to sing and didn't have to rush through it. You heard the video do you know why she had so much vibrato? Because with a lot of vibrato it's easier to sing those higher notes, when there is air on the vocal cords that's why she's rushing and that's why it sounds so shaky.

[@ohmusicsweetmusic]

yeah you're right, i like my other comment better: Good Lord! What in the name of a right breast about to become a nipple was she thinking?? You can almost feel the gasp of the audience. The theme song to the "Sound of Music" isn't the song in which to show some skin. It shows, along with the style in which she is singing, that she has not one clue about the piece, who sings it or why. Such a poor choice. These songs just aren't hers to sing.

[@chriskeene1788]

ohmusicsweetmusic it's not an opinion it's factually correct. Singers who can't hit the notes properly use more air to get through the notes to sing faster that's factually correct. And she doesn't have any business singing the songs, they will forever belong to Julie Andrews. You have to have a voice like Julie Andrews which is one in a million to sing these songs, BUT what I said wasn't an opinion I was factually correct.

[@TabrisFruLar]

No... sorry... it is great and filled with love and all... but NO ONE EVER will be as great as Dame Julie N E V E R She's the one and only Maria (I know, not the first, "just" the best)

[@mwamwa3488]

+Tabris Fru Lar She IS Maria hahahaha

[@SymeonZog]

+Tabris Fru Lar Well performance in movie or theatre and gala performances are different. But Dame Julie will always be the best not only because of her beautiful voice but for her beautiful aura! I always fell happy just seeing her still!

[@mwamwa3488]

***** Many people say it's her voice that kept her going all those years but she is an amazing actress AND also she was an incredible dancer but although we all know she was beyond talented a lot of her other talents were overshadowed by her beautiful voice.

[@TabrisFruLar]

I totally get it, and i don't say she's not good... because she IS AMAZING,,, it's just that i truly believe Julie is the best Maria there's ever been and ever was.

Julie Andrews instrument is so bell like, her placement is much prettier. Its not easy trying to fill the shoes of someone larger than life. That incredible tone, that impeccable diction remains unmatched. She is one of those singers who was able to bring in the Italian style of legato singing into english and that god darned ease! I mean if you hear Julie sing a B-flat, she does the octave jump all in one breath and her last O remains an O, here this singer breaks for a breath and then sings for unknown reasons, spreads her voice and sings an Ah and not an O on the final note.

[@rosslongbottom6362]

Wow!

[@요거트-p4f]

stop comparing this soprano with julie. it's just meddly from bbc proms and there can be many styles of singing. there must be some reasons that they invited her, for example, depending on situation. so just enjoy what you are listening to because this singer also sings with beautiful voice and well-trained technique. if you miss the very original version, go turn on your tv and watch the movie.

[@TheCarnivalguy]

What is your source for Marni Nixon dubbing any of Julie Andrews songs? Julie recorded all her tracks for The Sound of Music. Marni dubbed all of Audrey Hepburn's singing voice in My Fair Lady.

[@fluellenlucena4745]

@@TheCarnivalguy Marni Nixon was the great unsung hero for a lot of the musicals back in the day. They wasted a lot of people's talent putting her behind someone instead of just putting her up front from the start. A lot of the people she dubbed could actually sing fairly well. Audrey Hepburn for one actually had a good singing voice. From what I understand, Hepburn actually did work with a vocal coach before My Fair Lady. And she did, as far as I know, record for the soundtrack. But she did ended up getting dubbed in the end

[@TheCarnivalguy]

@@fluellenlucena4745 You bet. Marni had an extraordinary voice. She also lent her incredible talent to Deborah Kerr, dubbing her singing voice in The King And I. In response to OP’s comment: Julie Andrews was a child prodigy. In her prime (Sound Of Music, Mary Poppins, and My Fair Lady on Broadway) Julie’s coloratura was quite capable of flights into the higher register with ease. She needed no other singer to dub her high notes. Julie Andrew played Eliza Doolittle on Broadway for three years, starting when she was 20.
