"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Posted: 9/7/12 at 1:11pmWow, she is ridiculous! I can't believe how intense, wonderful and powerful she is throughout the whole song, I hadn't listened to her singing the score before and I'm about to pre-order the album after listening to that. Her singing is out of the world!

Posted: 9/7/12 at 1:30pmI may be in the minority but this does nothing to me... I want to love this-I love her-but all I hear is Bettys voice in my head and I dont like this version....to much talk singing at the beginging and the last note is not WOW to me...maybe once I get the cd and listen to the entire thing and get the perfomance aspect it will grow on me (i hope)....I still cant believe they recorded this and let one of the best performances (betty) go unrecorded...such a shame

Posted: 9/7/12 at 2:23pmI was hoping that they might have had Betty Buckley and Barbara Cook come and record some bonus tracks.

In some ways I wish that this wasn't the track that everyone wanted to hear. Having heard clips of Marin singing other songs from the show, this is probably her weakest number - not entirely her fault, as it's the number that benefitted the most from the full orchestration in the original production, but in transposing it down it loses some of the chilling effect of Betty Buckley's rendition.
I'm looking forward to I Remember How... in particular.

Posted: 9/7/12 at 4:16pmI don't think she did. She was sick for a while, including on the video that was taken, where she used a lot of head voice. But this clip sounds very similar to a couple of the audios I have heard, except perhaps she is shouting a bit less at the beginning and more at the end. <3 Marin Mazzie.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

I'm sure Marin isn't worried about sustaining this level of intensity eight shows a week. She "let loose" for the recording, and my ears tell me she nailed it.
I don't personally believe that belting a higher note equals "more intensity." That's measuring emotion in technical terms, which I have always hated.
Marin's acting (at least vocal acting) here is pretty fantastic. I don't need her to peel the paint off the walls at the same time, or hit a high Q above middle H on the scale. She did freak me out a couple of times during this song, and that's all it really requires.
Well done, kiddo.

Somehow I get the feeling that they would not have been able to convince Barbara Cook to come in and sing anything from that show ever again. I'm sure the figure would have been far beyond whatever budget they might have had.

Posted: 9/7/12 at 10:05pmBoth Betty Buckley and Linzi Hateley have recorded songs from Carrie on their solo albums. If people want bonus tracks that badly they can just use those. They also recorded "And Eve Was Weak" live for Buckly's Carnegie Hall album, but at the time the song was left off the CD release. If the authors wanted to, I'm sure they could have finally given permission to release that recording and include it as a bonus track, but for whatever reason they decided not to.
