I just got done doing a production of Les Mis, and well our cast had some fun watching the Blacklick Valley videos....
this isn't really a production, but you HAVE to listen to this rendition of No Good Deed

Ahahaha, that Marius!
And Miss Saigon: Did you think I'd gone awaaaAAAAAy
Oh my God, I think I may know the girl who posted "No Good Deed." If not, I know someone who sings exactly like her.
Edit: Just watched "Out Tonight." God, that is boring choreography.

Whoever said this was a total ego boost - agree completely.
No Good Deed - " I am only 16 and have had no formal voice training "
Shocker. Why would anyone post something that sounded like that?

An interesting Richard Henry Lee. Who knew the founding fathers were so fond of pelvic thrusts?

This thread needed some Rocky Horror.
GOD AWFUL. Especially at 1:15.
And the choreography at "hurry".
If you're going to be Frank, why wouldn't you just GO for it instead of not moving at all and wearing a feathered boa.
And while we're on that, I HATE when the cast says the audience participation lines at Rocky Horror. AUDIENCE participation.

That One Day More really made me sad. Not all school edition productions are like that, I assure you. I wish our director allowed us to put ours up on Youtube so you could see how it is supposed to be done....

I have so much I want to add...
Here's Who's That Woman being done by a high school. And I know you are saying to yourself "Wait, they are barely old enough to play even the Young counterparts!" Well, you can't stop ART.

However, the related videos do lead to some nice things.

I would normally jump at this but I can't. I feel it's downright wrong and mean. To take these performances and highlight them in public while making it a laughingstock or mock them is just. Ugh. I don't know poor kids. Regional community or school productions are done with such a varying degree of talent budget and scarcities. But all in all it's done with some level or degree of passion. I have also seen incredible high school productions that rocked the house and would rival many off broadway shows. I just think posting these clips and making fun of them. Especially kids. Is wrong. This could crush ruin or humiliate them badly if any friends or relatives or they themselves bumped into this. Just plain mean. I had to post this quickly from my phone so don't judge my punctuation or spelling. I was just so apalled this was here.

Yeah, it's not like they weren't already public or anything!

I'm actually impressed with the Miss Saigon clip. The audio quality is really bad, and the singers need some more training, but the production values are pretty impressive.

Maybe they were really happy with the work they did therefore they shared it on you tube.
But to take it here and make fun of these kids at their expense is just wrong.

If they didn't want to be judged they wouldn't have posted the videos on youtube.

Very rarely do I find the kids or their performances what makes the video so funny, it's usually the sets or costumes. I can't imagine how some things could come across a director's mind and that's what I find funny.

I'm 16 and have no formal voice training, but I am praying I don't sound like that to other people.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I?
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

"This could crush ruin or humiliate them badly if any friends or relatives or they themselves bumped into this."
Then what the hell are they doing in theatre? If they can't handle the truth NOW, do you think they'll be able to handle it in about ten years when NOBODY will cast them? If you encourage people to keep doing something they are truly awful at (no matter how much they love it) you're not doing them any favors; you're setting them up for future failures (and most likely, very BIG future failures). They'll have spent all that time working on what they're terrible at instead of finding something to be GOOD at!
