Leslie's version is so vulnerable , I'm not quite sure why so many people don't like it. She sounds unsure and young like someone who is disappointed with herself for letting down her community. Personally loved her version. Na Ha-na version was absolute beautiful as well.

People have different opinions on this but I thought leslie’s version made sense. It’s depressing and melancholic and lost and sad and angry but mostly fear. This is an 18/19 year old girl seeing the world for the first time from her community. She’s disappointed by what she finds and rejects it to come back home but home had so much pressure on her that she’s now just scared of disappointing everyone especially her father. It’s a good belting song on broadway but in the movie, I felt like someone understood what dropping out of college felt like. It’s a terrifying decision and coming home to explain that. I’d be depressed, lost and scared too.

It’s not really about pent up emotions, it’s more like everything else is overwhelming and you don’t know how to deal with it cause you don’t even know how it happened in the first place. How did you end up dropping out of a college you got a scholarship for? You don’t feel brave, you feel judged cause so many would kill to be you. What do you say in your defence?

To me, Nina in the movie has so much emotion and you can hear it coming through in Leslie's performance (it made me cry in the cinema!), whereas Vanessa's songs were more active/determined, so I could instantly tell the difference between these two characters and what they were like.

Maybe I’m being too critical but I really tried to like the movie but I felt some roles were miscast.

Giselle’s hit me the hardest because she’s that perfect mix of a strong, but soft sound which really highlighted the youth and innocence of Nina’a character for me. Or maybe it’s because I saw myself most in her. 🤷‍♀️

The two high-schoolers were absolutely insane!! Amazing to see how they stack up even against professionals

Mandy and Anna Villafañe are my favorites. There are so many emotions in both of their versions that it feels real. The pressure, anger, awkwardness, and shame of the situation are all shown and it takes me on a trip of her life. The movie version is much more vulnerable but it doesn’t do it for me because it lacks all of the other emotions.

Actually crying seeing the Leslie scene

Everything Eva Noblezada does is just absolute absolute gold 🥺💖

Jordin Sparks,Mandy,Leslie and Eva were absolutely fantastic, but who surprised me the most was Rebecca Curci! Can’t believe she was in high school! I loved her singing voice!

Eva is amazing, I remember my brother working with her as tam for miss Saigon, and she’s literally amazing

I preferred Leslie's acting but Mandy's singing (but then again Mandy kind of is too dramatic? I feel? If that makes sense?) So basically all hail Eva Noblezada

Leslie’s is the most heartfelt and relatable.. Mandy’s is just full force throughout, there’s no dynamic.. Definitely works on stage but Leslie’s is more triggering.. Jordin was EFFORTLESS vocally!

Myra Ruiz!❤❤ Proud to have seen her as Elphaba! Amazing voice and acting!

This is one of the few times where I like both the original and the movie singers equally 😲 To be fair, I haven't seen In The Heights yet so there's no nostalgia or anything for me. But both deliver a different kind of emotion and performance that I really relate to.

Honestly I was very disappointed by the movie version, not just Nina but in general. She felt sidelined as a character, and as a singer I felt she didn't have the weight in her voice to give this song have the impact it deserves. I feel like in the original, the leads were usnavi and Nina, and each had a love interest, whereas in the movie, it felt like usnavi was the lead, Vanessa was the love interest, and Nina and benny were supporting characters.

Not just because of singing but she just seems like Nina to me, and I love the change we’re it isn’t abula who calls her but it’s her dad, because you kinda see how scared she is to tell him.

I might be biased considering Leslie's music has been in my childhood haha. But whenever i hear Leslie's voice its hard to separate the cinematography because the people around her following her around and seeing Ninas childhood really made the song all the more impactful.

I've never heard any of these before, coming in without knowing the show is fascinating. Giselle stole it for my, by minute 6 she's still the best so far. I get the fanbase for Mandy, as the original, but she's not objectively the best imo. Also, Na Ha-na is incredible, she has a unique vocal quality to the rest - almost more 'disney princess' but she carries it SO well. I know Myra isn't a studio recording by WOW the balance is so bad for this recording. It looks like an official one, too - you can't even hear her for the first few seconds. She's fighting to be heard and gets more 'shrill' to fight with the orchestra, that had to hurt. I started wondering if recording equipment just got *that* much better from 2008 to now, but nope - 2018 in DC, Anna is incredible and that recording is potato quality. Hm. It's actually not fair to the rest about Leslie, because her recording is obviously by far the best, due to the nature of filming. I want to hear them all sing in that quality recording. Eva, Giselle, Na, and Leslie were the best for me, and a few definitely sunk to the bottom but no need for that negativity here, and it could have been recording quality anyway :)

I notice a lot of people complimenting Eva Noblezada and after hearing her, I'm just like "Why are you rushing?" It seemed like she was rushing a lot during her performance, like she couldn't find the beat. No offense to any of her fans. I'm just stating my opinion.

OMG people Jordin Spark was amazing and effortless

i was very disappointed and confused why they didn’t cast someone with the range to sing for nina in the movie. dont get me wrong leslie is talented and amazing but i just didn’t think she was right for nina. like breathe in the film just did not do it for me, its a powerful song and Leslie just didn’t deliver it. i felt like the changes they made to the song were so unnecessary. i also think that some of the songs that nina was apart of in the film didn’t hit as strongly as they could’ve because of leslies range. again i don’t think leslies a bad vocalist or actor AT ALL and i did enjoy her in the film, but i do think there was stronger casting options for nina vocal wise that they could’ve went with.

Just a guess, but probably because musical theater translates differently on the screen rather than on stage. Screen acting is more subtle because we can see the scene and the emotions more clearly than on stage. I remember this part of the scene (well, the whole movie) being really visually appealing so they probably let the that do more of the talking. She probably sang with a screen in mind rather than a theater!

Yes I agree - I just don’t think her songs felt right emotionally or vocally - not to say at all that she’s a bad actress or singer but she didn’t feel like Nina to me

@@dumblebee9167 Yeah I didn’t like the approach they took to her character, it didn’t even feel like Nina. Changing her character for the “screen” made no sense to me because she is already so perfect for the screen how she was.

The only thing that annoys me abt the movie version is that it’s a lower key

The original key is a bit harder to sing in and it might have been lowered to suit Leslie's range

The lowered key doesn't offend me. And I think it gives a laid back feel to the song

@@sorrynotsorry6 I’m not saying I don’t enjoy it. I think it’s wonderful and that the movie actress is super talented. It’s just not a fair comparison because everyone else is singing the og key and she’s singing lower then them. But that doesn’t take away from how good she is

I know right

the reason why i dont think mandy is the best is because nina sounds so much older and very intense when the character was written to b more insecure and young. mandys voice is amazing tho ! my favorited are jordan and eva. she got the power and the sweetenes.

I loved all of their voices!!!

Leslie’s version is definitely my new favorite 🥲 it brought me to tears, coupled with the visuals of her life in the background it was so powerful to me.

Thank you for including Myra ❤️🇧🇷

oh my goodness Na Ha-na has a GORGEOUS voice - i don't speak her language but WOW she did great

All of them have beautiful voices 🥰

honestly Mandy and Leslie are my favorites, when the movie came out breathe and Black out were the only ones I haven't heard so Leslie's just felt emotional when I watched it but everyone was amazing!
