'My Favorite Things' Carrie Underwood & Audra McDonald | The Sound of Music Live

[@cak813]

Audra McDonald could sing the Manhattan phone book and make it sound good. She’s such a talented, versatile, and gorgeous lady.

[@rickythekid]

Audra MacDonald’s amazing as Reverend Mother. I love the spin they did on this song and how this scene tells us about Reverend Mother and Maria’s mother-daughter-type relationship.

[@manuelorozco7760]

The context was just like this in the original Broadway script! But I agree

[@wrenclark4907]

I spent the whole musical thinking Maria was played by reese Witherspoon

[@p0lyxena]

Audra McDonald is a force to be reckoned with. I don’t see her “Climb Ev’ry Mountain” on this channel but I hope they upload it soon! She’s truly one of the most talented women of the modern era.

[@KevinGonzalez-gc5iu]

Carrie has a natural Broadway voice. Her speaking intonation when she isn’t singing just sounds like she is natural at performing and singing. You can hear how crisp her words come out in her songs and how she can change her dynamic so quickly. I think that’s one quality that Kelly Clarkson doesn’t really have. God blessed this woman with a good Respiratory System Audra McDonald is one of the best Soprano singers I have ever heard. Let me not forget that I cried when I heard her in Porgy and Bess.

[@kimberleekrajnak3800]

My grandmother's favorite song to sing when I was a little girl was "My Favorite Things" I sang it in high school for a singing competition This song is special.

[@pachidermo]

I do think it says a lot about how great a singer Carrie Underwood is that she doesn't get entirely overshadowed by Audra McDonald, who's honestly God's gift to us.

[@colinvanblaricom6573]

In this performance, I think she does. I'd say Carrie struggled with this musical number, sounds rather pitchy while Audra sounded perfect. Carrie was good in other musical numbers in this musical though, her acting sadly was always awful though

[@motab9907]

Audra is of course A+++ 😍😍😍 and Carrie sounds beautiful!

You can BUY The Phantom Of The Opera on YT and support the show. Seriously, it was so much fun when people used to watch these videos and just be grateful without demanding more.

[@euphoria7372]

@@naastyaaaaaaaaa I kinda agree with what you're saying but- A lot of people, don't have the money to buy the show. Including me. It doesn't give them a reason to demand a show. But at the same time, its past mid - August and they still haven't given us any updates. So (in a way) people do have a right to ask.

@@euphoria7372 I understand there are people who can't afford big purchases but for example in my country the entire TPOTO with Sarah's performance at the end and everything cost about 5 dollars..

I'm fine with them not posting the show. I know its a lot of work to work out the copyright issues. I was just trying to say _why_ a lot of people are asking for a show, or in other cases, demanding it. I completely agree with you, I'm just saying a lot of people just can't afford something like that.

[@naastyaaaaaaaaa]

@@euphoria7372 i just don't understand why some people nowadays demand stuff in such a way. I can't stop imagining myself in the shoes of whoever runs this channel. They do so much for us, but the more treats they give us the less gratitude they get in return. I simply wanted to say that it's just so sad to see these straightforward comments demanding more without even aknowledging what's already been shown.

I don’t understand why no one liked Carrie as frauline Maria I loved her

[@maryshaffer776]

I loved her, too, and I saw the movie with Julie Andrews in the theater and loved it. I even have the original soundtrack LP. Julie Andrews herself, though, has always left me a bit cold with her androgynous looks (almost always the very short boyish haircuts, for example) Yes, Julie had great talent, but I preferred this live version Carrie is beautiful and feminine and with her coloring, looked like an "Alps" girl. I prefer Ms. Underwood's singing voice also, and remember that she had to do it all live!!!!! This was based not on the movie,, but on the stage version. Also two of the best songs were left out of the movie version! I was 'knocked out" by the spectacular acting and singing of Laura Benanti and Christian Borle. I love those two big numbers that they did!!!! All of the kids were great as well. I do not understand why people did not appreciate Stephen Moyer more. I had never heard of him before, but he is a very handsome guy and I liked his singing. Christopher Plummer, who played Von Trapp in the movie, was by many accounts, a nasty piece of work. He admitted to bring drunk in some of the scenes in the movie, and he was always really arrogant. Over the years, he made a lot of unkind remarks about Julie Andrews and about many things in the movie. I think the nasty father/,architect he played in "Lake House" captured his real, unpleasant personality.

[@brianaustin5467]

Throughout the life of this channel, NBCUniversal have not entered into dialogue on these boards, wisely in my view. I believe their stance is that if they choose to post some of their programmes on here, it is at their prerogative. They are not answerable to anyone other than the copyright owners. They have not entered into any form of contract with users of this site, Let's face it, the content of this site is a miniscule proportion of all the free programmes available on KZbin. I really do not understand why people are getting so exercised about this.

[@euphoria7372]

@@brianaustin5467 I completely understand what you're saying. And its true but- The thing what upsets me is that, they said mid - August, they got a bunch of peoples hopes up for no reason. Of course They don't owe any of their viewers anything. but still, they could at least address it. Many people (From what I've seen) have very tight schedules, what they opened _just_ to watch, whatever show they put on, just to be disappointed. I'm personally fine with it. Its JUST my opinion. I fully respect yours. I'm grateful for them still putting work in, and still making videos for us. I just want them to address it.

[@brianaustin5467]

@@euphoria7372 It is worthwhile to remember that the principal reason that this channel was initiated was to encourage people to contribute to charitable funds providing for out of work entertainment professionals, and other worthy causes. In this respect it has not been very successful. In fact the only site such as this, that I have seen, to provide a good level of contributions has been that of The Royal Opera House. In general contributions have averaged out at a few pence/cents per viewer. This aim seems to have escaped most people who come here clamouring for programmes that Universal does not have (or do not even exist). Many of them cannot even summon up the energy to say "please". From what I have observed, when Universal intend to post a programme, they inform the trade press a few days in advance, and place a notice on this site around 48 hours before launch. The programme is then on here for 24/48 hours. This should be plenty of time to allow people to plan their viewing. I was not criticising you in particular, rather the general sense of entitlement that some people display on these threads. Perhaps Universal made a rod for their own back by setting a timescale, but presumably they meant to honour it at the time. In any event, when they do start to repost shows the complaints will start from those who do not like them, wanted a repeat of a previous show, moaning that it is a repeat, or demanding something that is not in Universal's catalogue. And the contributions to worthy causes will still be pitiful.

[@euphoria7372]

@@brianaustin5467 Woah... That must've taken long to type. I do agree with you completely (From what I understand from your comment) I was just upset that they said they were going to start streaming shows again, and then when the time came, they stayed completely silent. I get that they were probably just busy, and didn't have time to post an update. But its like if, a movie company or a brand, said they were going to release something and then, they don't, and they act like they never said anything about it. I've seen people do it before. I know the shows must go on channel is very different from other people who have done stuff like that. But I'm just saying. And also, I _didn't_ ask them to do shows again, I just asked them to address the situation. And also (I almost forgot) Andrew Lloyd Webber did make a video saying that thay raised over half a million dollars for the actors fund. From What I understand from your comment. You make it sound like they barely made any money. I don't want to continue this argument, I want a solution.

Audra should've been cast as Maria, maybe earlier in her career, but put her in a musical and you can tell the others have nothing on her.
