Why are there only two songs?

[Craig]

Posted: 11/14/06 at 8:38pm

Because that's all they shot? :)

It seems like Disney only wants us to see Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Makes me wanna see it again.

They should have also included part of "Step in Time," "Feed the Birds," and maybe "Practically Perfect."

Not directed towards BWW, but towards Disney and Mackintosh...

That's a pretty bad representation of the show.

^agreed.

I really like "Being Mrs. Banks" and the songs that aren't so...jumpy.

I agree with ThankstoPhantom.

This musical is so much better than the video shows.

Brown's accent still bothers me.

Her accent was much more consistent at the show Saturday, but I agree that earlier footage shows a not yet settled one.

makes me not want to see the show. lol but i will eventually see it because i love the story. also i am in looove with the song practically perfect.

[ThankstoPhantom]

I'm glad you're seeing it eventually, but let me say, DO NOT base your opinon on this.

I remember when the UK site was first launched...a LONG time ago. I tried singing along with the s-u-p-e-r... etc. I do show off to my friends that I can spell the whole word, in SONG!

Super...calif...ragil..isticexpialid..o..cious!

:)

I'm sure they will shoot more footage in the future. i hope.

This marks the third time I've seen a friend of mine perform this number. He's in a top hat in the ensemble, and there's a certain shot where he's very prominently behind Ashley on a close-up. Love it. :)

Still, I don't like the video. As has already been said, that number is great, but so are a dozen other parts of the show. Even some clips like the London preview would suffice.

It looks really great and I am sure that Ashley does an excellent job.




...but am I the only one who keeps thinking that one of the chorus members looks like she got lost on her way to the Gershwin?

Bella, I know what you mean! I noticed that too. The one with the green, huh?

I think it's a decent video, but I'd like to see more of what I haven't already seen. I really want to hear the song "Temper, Temper."

Ok,

1)This looks ten times better then the TODAY show preformance
2)Instead of looking like shot portions of the show, it looks like press clips, you can tell it was shot specially, eww
3)2 Songs??? What are you kidding me? The London press clips (also Supercali- centered) had much more footage, this is simply unacceptable.

And I personally LOVE Supercali-, hasn't had to grow on me at all.

Oh yeah. You can't judge by looking just one video with 2 songs!!! And supercali- again!!! Well, at least it's better than the Today show performance. And what can I say about the Chim Chim Cher-Ee? WOW! She's awesome! I wached like 20 times. Her accent it's a little weird, but I won't say anything until I watch the whole show. I'd love to see her "Feed the birds"... Well, now we just have to wait!

whatever happens or whatever anyone says: I love it. Love love love, and I cannot wait to see it again.
