I think I just came in my pants a little bit.

Thankfully not much head voice from Marin.

My favorite song from the show. I haven't listened to it yet, but just knowing I can hear THIS particular song early is making me tingly.

Pretty good stuff!

Wow! Perhaps this will sound biased coming from someone who really adores Marin Mazzie's work, but this sounds fabulous! The orchestrations are also fairly impressive, though quite different from 1988.

She sang the hell out of it! (Pun intended.)

Wow, 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!

I 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

My favorite song too. I'm so used to the OBC version than this will take a little getting used to but I like it.

I was hoping that they might have had Betty Buckley and Barbara Cook come and record some bonus tracks.

Wonderful! Can't wait to hear When There's No One.

I liked it, but as others have said, it will take some getting used to. Intrigued enough to want to hear more.

Perfection has a name and it's Marin Mazzie.

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.

Holy cow... that was unbe-freakin-lievable.

They both sounded fantastic!

Whee! Love it. I was hoping she would play it differently than she was directed on stage.

[binau]

Posted: 9/7/12 at 4:16pm

I 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.

I saw her before she was taken ill, and this certainly is more lively and less-subdued that she was at the performance I saw.

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.

"I was hoping that they might have had Betty Buckley and Barbara Cook come and record some bonus tracks."

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.

Both 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.

The performance at Carnegie Hall was badly off tempo for most of the song! I heard that Betty didn't want it on the recording because of how off it was.

I absolutely love this.
