Feb 1, 2011 - This song reminds me of a mother singing this to her newborn child. It's touching and so powerful. I love it.

Feb 24, 2011 - Why do people always have to compare? Idina is a great singer and so is Shoshana. I love the song and it's live even better than on the CD.

GiovannaClapis mowi:

Apr 30, 2011 - I wonder why people like Shoshana, Idina, Stephanie J. Block, Kristin Chenoweth, Megan Hilty, etc are not MORE famous! They are pure talent, and yet, you have kids with freaky hair doing shit on stage and being appreciated like the hit of the century! Humanity has just gone mad.

Jun 4, 2011 - i feel like fame and hollywood wouldn't desplay thier true talents. they belong in the theater in a community of people who respect and understand their capabilities rather than become a commercialised star. even though they truely do deserve that kind of recognition : )

DirtyRottenScoundrel mowi:

Jun 7, 2011 - Well, Kristen is big now because of Glee, Megan Hilty is about to be huge because of "Smash," and Idina is relatively well known for Rent, etc. The reason they can't all be pop stars, however, is because they don't write their own music. Some of them do write music, but lets be honest...it generally sucks or is very mediocre. Matthew Morrison is pretty good, relatively.

DirtyRottenScoundrel mowi:

Jun 7, 2011 - While these girls are obviously well-trained and can act a song like nobody's fuckin business, they simply don't have the writing talent that people like Lady Gaga, Adele (who, IMO, has the best voice in contemporary pop...AND she's an incredible songwriter...), Bruno Mars, etc. Even Ke$ha writes all of her own stuff, as well as Britney's "Till the World Ends." They may appear like "kids with freaky hair," but there's a LOT more under that. They, too, are pure talent.

GiovannaClapis mowi:

Jun 9, 2011 - they are indeed talented to know what it is that the mass culture wants (Adele here is an exception, her songs have more soul and her voice is amazing). But I just can't agree that theater people don't have the "writing talent" that these others have. Please notice that I'm not saying the ones you mentioned suck, in fact I like some of their songs. With "kids with freaky hair" I meant Justin Bieber, and please, don't say that his songs are genius. ^^

DirtyRottenScoundrel mowi:

Jun 9, 2011 - LOL. Justin Bieber is pure SOMETHING, alright. But it's definitely not talent. lol. I completely agree with you there. Adele is certainly the cream of the crop. I would disagree that Lady Gaga is simply talented in knowing what mainstream culture wants (while I love Bruno Mars, I don't know him well enough to really judge his motivation). She is a classically trained musician as well as a phenomenal songwriter, and I think her originality and honesty is what makes her so amazing.

DirtyRottenScoundrel mowi:

Jun 9, 2011 - But having studied Musical Theatre at Boston Conservatory, I can assure you that 99% of MT performers are NOT songwriters. Songwriting is a very specific gift. Of the few composers that I personally know, one is completely extraordinary (he'll be the next big thing in MT, for sure). But his music is TOTALLY Musical Theatre. It could never make it in mainstream music. And as much as I love Musical Theatre, I do NOT want to listen to power ballads and belt-fests 24/7...lol.

GiovannaClapis mowi:

Jun 10, 2011 - I agree in some ways, but fame wouldn't be so underrated nowadays if we haven't made it become a "common" thing. You're right, indeed, it can sometimes not show all the talent people have, bt sometimes the opposite can happen, and that's what they would deserve. Bt I think they don't really want all this kind of attention, because they have a community that loves them a lot, so why ask for more? & you're right, they are awesome already, & they don't need fame to increase that. ^^

GiovannaClapis mowi:

Jun 10, 2011 - I agree with you here, Lady Gaga is creative. I have to admit that her songs are very original. The thing I like about Lady Gaga is that she is, IMO, a personification of a lot of things, and that's what makes her original as you said yourself (that's also what the mainstream culture wants, though it doesn't mean I'm underestimating her talent). ^^

GiovannaClapis mowi:

Jun 10, 2011 - That's really nice! :] I'm not pro about MT, bt I agree that some songs MT performers write suck, though the 1% left is great! LOL, neither do I want to listen to "power ballads 24/7", and I'm a theater freak. ^^ I dn't think they'd make it to the mainstream culture, bt I don't think they want it either. As I said below, they have a community that loves them for everything they do. I just think that they deserve that kind of recognition, even though they don't rly need it.

Sep 11, 2011 - dear scott, you simply are amazing. this song changed me and has helped me so much through hard times in my life. not just this song though, your entire album still dreaming wide awake has completely wharped my view of good music. thank you for sharing your wonderful gift with the world. i love sho singing this song and couldn't think if anyone else singing it, and anyone else just does not give it the justice it deserves.

Sep 15, 2011 - Shoshana's second album is going to be LEGIT. She's written over a dozen new songs since her first album came out, and there are some real winners in the mix. I think it may really take her places.

GiovannaClapis mowi:

Sep 15, 2011 - Really? I didn't know she was making a new album! I'll definetly check it out. And I don't doubt it can get huge, this woman's got a voice.. :] Thanks for the heads up!

Dec 4, 2011 - better than the recording great quality sound to her voice, amazing

Feb 1, 2012 - Why compare? 2 totally different types of performers with talent that blows a lot of people away.

Apr 11, 2012 - I didn't, the person I was replying to was the person who originally compared them. Pay closer attention.
