Stay ~ Jenny Joyce & Aisling LONG VERSION ~ Derry Girls

Our extended version of Stay by Shakespears Sister that we recorded for the Derry Girls talent show in Episode 2 Series 3 as Jenny Joyce & Aisling.
We recorded this to lip sync to but also sang live on the day, and did the extra verses and choruses as a safety-net in case they wanted to keep rolling on it, (which they then did). What we performed in the show though is exactly the amount that was originally scripted for us to do. But why not enjoy the extra craic we had anyway.
We decided Aisling would have a choir girl vibe and Jenny is... iconic Jenny 💚
The video features a bunch of BTS videos we either took of each other or sent to each other to practice or soundboard ideas. And some cute nights out we had as pair.

The fact that Jenny Joyce got to take centre stage is a fucking tragedy meanwhile the absolute vocal queen that was Aisling went unfounded 😭

[@morbidsearch]

I mean in the actual song, Siobhan gets most of it to herself and Marcella only comes in to sing one verse. Aisling basically got centre-stsge.

[@katjen4292]

That's the point...like the whole point, the punch line here.

[@EmilyCaissie]

I can’t get over the expression on Peter’s face, especially how it changes when Jenny starts singing 😂

[@YoungsterBeccy]

It's so good

Maybe it’s the first time he’s heard a miracle.

😂 Love the eye roll from Sister Michael, everything about that scene is pure comedy gold! 😂

[@jeffcrowtherjr.7861]

Makes me wish this scene went longer, so we could see the horrified looks of the audience wondering when Jenny Joyce's vocal torture will stop. 😆

[@gregrudolph2378]

Hilarious scene, but just a gorgeous voice.

[@YoungsterBeccy]

hehe thank you so much!

[@ANARDCUDUBH99]

A lot of work needs to be done when you’re naturally very pretty

[@JRandaII]

I have been waiting for this for years. Your rendition is PERFECT! Seriously, eleven out of ten. Your vocals go straight to my heart, and it brings a tear to my eye instantaneously when I hear the first note… thank you

[@YoungsterBeccy]

Awh waow!! Thankyou!!! I'm truly touched!

[@Herbertts]

I'm from Brazil and absolutely no one here has ever heard about Shakespeares Sister. When I watched the episode for the first time, I thought it was a made-up song, and then I went after it later. The original version is way darker hahaha This is/was such a lovely rendition that made me laugh really hard in 2021 and now brings peace to my heart ❤️

[@YoungsterBeccy]

Thankyou so much for sharing this ~ I love it. I'm so glad it brings you peace 🥰😌🙏🏼

[@timewort]

After watching this scene for the first time I immediately searched for the full version, thank you so much for uploading this!!!!

[@YoungsterBeccy]

No way, did you!?! That's so cool!!! 😂❤

[@term6849]

What an unreal rendition of the song, beautiful voice. The scene is seriously one of the series best, with everyone so gobsmacked and touched. Love it 🙌🏻🔥

[@YoungsterBeccy]

What a review! Thankyou!!

[@emilyherrold6922]

Beccy this is so good!!! Although I appreciate the running joke of Aisling's musicality being constantly interrupted by Jenny's... lack thereof (lol), I definitely wanted to hear more of your voice in this scene. Also! When you mentioned that you helped decide that Aisling would have a choir girl vibe, I started wondering about what other quirks you assign your characters, if any. I also wondered how many of these decisions actually made it onto the screen, haha. Hope you're doing well!

[@YoungsterBeccy]

I was very blessed to have total free reign with Aisling! And since I rarely had lines I would just vibe it out in scenes in the background and give her my own little inner monologue. Sometimes when I'm acting as other characters, and I don't have lines, I can find it hard to fill the space but interestingly with Aisling I never really felt that. And yeah, there were certainly things cut but one of my favourite things about the show is that its snappy - all killer no filler! So I totally respect the decision to cut those moments. I'll write down the idea to do a video about quirks I've assigned different characters!

[@emilyherrold6922]

@@YoungsterBeccy Looking forward to it!! I'd especially love hearing about if it applies to your Dark Crystal characters. I'm a big AOR fan

[@Say_Jay246]

I've watched the full seasons of Derry Girls about 3 times now and your voice is beautiful. We need a full cover please, much love from South Africa🫶🏿🇿🇦

[@YoungsterBeccy]

South Africa! Waow! Thankyou so much!

[@jhfred]

I've had this in my head for the last two days. Out of the blue. Sometimes good tunes just finds you.

[@YoungsterBeccy]

aww awesomee

[@andyagusgaidhlig]

Haha, always good to see some Jenny and Aisling in Derry Girls. I like how Aisling is understatedly talented/sensical, while Jenny is overstatedly...Jenny 🤣 Also love the show.

[@YoungsterBeccy]

So glad you love the show!! 🥰🥰

I didn’t know there was a longer version of this! Awesome! ^__^

Aw thankyou!

How did you keep a straight face when Jenny popped out? 😂

[@YoungsterBeccy]

Leah makes all scenes hard to do with a straight face, she's so naturally funny 😂

[@jeandanielodonnncada]

Pure professionalism! Well done, Beccy! And honestly Leah's professionalism and courage here is mesmerising, if not for the same reasons.

I would probably like to be friends with Aisling and a little scared of Jenny Joyce, but you two are lovable actors.

[@YoungsterBeccy]

Awww thankyou!! 🥰

[@FashionistaStreet]

This is amazing, thank you.

[@vxsapphire]

I'm so glad I found this channel. After hearing you do harmonies with as Aisling on the piano the first time when Jenny was singing I thought, what the hell, I need a full song of her singing! It was so subtle yet sweet. You have a very melodic and relaxing singing voice. Great job on Derry Girls!

[@YoungsterBeccy]

Thank you so so much, this has made my day 🥹💕

[@raydragerns3657]

Please put an album out your voice is legitimately incredible

[@YoungsterBeccy]

Aw waow thankyou!! Perhaps I should do some more singing videos... 💖

[@sebastianorrego-jimenez6581]

Also the last minute of this song is so so so good. 💕 That needs to be its own video. Also think you could reupload some of the content you made in the last year on a new channel. Call it derrygirlaisling or derrygirlbeccy just to brand yourself better.

[@YoungsterBeccy]

Aw thank you so much! 🎶 X

There it is. The clip that made me watch this show.

[@jhfred]

I really love this song! Specially your parts! Not that the other part is bad!

[@YoungsterBeccy]

Aw thankyou! I was just recovering from losing my voice the week before too. We were stressed I wasn't going to be able to sing

[@jimmyjohnson7027]

Any hoo...

[@janetclaireSays]

I always found it frustrating that Aisling's beautiful voice always remained in the background. I would have loved her to win some kind of big singing contest in the last season. I guess that's how life is though, the ones with the least amount of talent but the most self-promotion make it. We see that with a certain Duchess.

A Full Version at last.

[@AWallaceProductions]

I believe you wrote the lyrics yourself, is that correct? Do you ever think you might have too much time on your hands girls? 😂

[@YoungsterBeccy]

Haha so good!

[@bi_smth]

I swear my sister refuses to watch Derry Girls just cause of how much it succeeds in making Jenny Joyce and Nicola Coughlan look horrible, when in fact the actresses are pretty irl 😭

[@NuhniiyaBehNez-ly2yr]

Only TAYME will teyll. Jenny JOYce! You can SING! Jenny’s singing voice is nearly a tenth as bad as mine! There needs to be a Derry Gorls alarm clock! One of the alarms could be this. Another HAS to be MONDAY MORNING! The WHOLE scene! Another has to be Granda Joe driving through the proddie march. Clare Devlin;”MAMMY!!! WHERE’S MAY ULSTER BUS TAYMETABULE?!!!!!!!!” Maa Mary; “ DOES SHE KBOW WHAT TIME IT IS?!!! I’LL PARKINSON HURRR!!!!” Dennis, Fionnula and Ms Taylor should have alarms as well. I was thinking Uncle Colm too. I mean he might bore people back to sleep or rile them so much they can’t get back to sleep.

[@sebastianorrego-jimenez6581]

I think you should make a new KZbin channel, since this channel is smaller & you took a break from it for several years, I feel like you would have better luck algorithm wise starting from scratch. Think some new singing content would be good on there since it’s obvious that people want to hear more singing. Maybe one of you and a piano singing this song alone? Just a thought. Cheers

[@YoungsterBeccy]

I'm actually pretty shy and I'm quite enjoying it being a small channel right now 💕

[@qratedfilms]

You don’t sing that badly without knowing how to actually sing, Leah O’Rourke knew exactly where to be a quarter tone off to make the song absolutely unlistenable!

[@Obanshee2002]

Simply awful

[@YoungsterBeccy]

Thankyou 😍
