Me singing 'In My Own Little Corner' from Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella

In My Own Little Corner - Cinderella

Lyrics:

One little spark is all that it takes
To ignite the flame
Once the fire is caught the rebellion can start
And we fight, fight, fight for our lives

I don't know who to trust, or where I should go
All I know is that I cannot run

I am lost in the darkness, all scared and confused
Then a voice in my head says that you must push through
And I know that I may not come out alive 
As my world catches fire
And I let it burn, I let it burn

Who is a friend, and who is foe
Don't forget who the enemy is
You've taken my life, everything that I had
And we must fight, fight, fight for our lives

The world once was cold, lonely and dark
All it needed was that one little spark

I am lost in the darkness, all scared and confused
Then a voice in my head says that you must push through
And I know that I may not come out alive 
As my world catches fire
And I let it burn

Trapped inside all of your games
Spinning round, but I still come out fighting
Hit the ground and get back up
The fire's still burning

I am lost in the darkness, all scared and confused
Then a voice in my head says that you must push through
And I know that I may not come out alive 
As my world catches fire

I am lost in the darkness, all scared and confused
Then a voice in my head says that you must push through
And I know that I may not come out alive 
As my world catches fire
And I let it burn, I let it burn

One little spark is all that it takes
To ignite the flame
Once the fire is caught the rebellion can start
And we fight

As My World Catches Fire (original song inspired by The Hunger Games: Catching Fire)

This a song that I absolutely love from The Little Mermaid II and it's a duet between Ariel and her daughter, Melody.

I am singing Melody's part. The part of Ariel is being sung by this wonderful person on YouTube right here:

For A Moment - The Little Mermaid II

In honour of this sad day (August 24th i.e. Newsies is closing), I decided to try and give this song a go. I've always found it hard-going because it's quite fast paced and the note at the end is a difficult one, so I hope you can forgive me for it not sounding great. Plus, I don't claim to be any Kara Lindsay, Caitlyn Caughell, Laurie Veldheer, Molly Jobe or Liana Hunt, who all completely OWN this song. But I've tried :)

I'm so incredibly sad that Newsies is closing today. This show means more than you could ever imagine to me. Not only is it an inspirational story about the underdogs taking on the big guys, but it gave me a new family. I have made so many friendships with people all over the world because of Newsies, and for that reason I will be forever grateful to all the cast and creatives who put this show together and made it possible. I am so appreciative for being able to see this show live and I hope so many more people will get to in the future with the US Tour and (hopefully) and transfer to London's West End. Newsies will never truly be gone.

Watch What Happens - Newsies

I adore this song. I play it all the time. 
It was written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin back in the 60's, and was first released by The Drifters. Sutton Foster sang the song for her album, and also at her solo show at Cafe Carlyle. You can now hear the song being performed eight times a week on Broadway in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.

Up On The Roof (acoustic) - Carole King

So I'm a huge Starkid and this is one of my favourite songs from a Starkid production. Dylan Saunders has a voice made of gold.

Kick It Up A Notch (acoustic) - Starship from Starkid Productions

I adore this show. Whilst I realise I will never sound as stunning as Laura Michelle Kelly, I still love singing this song.

All That Matters - Finding Neverland

So I went to see 'In The Heights' the other week in London and it was an exceedingly fun show. This song really stuck out to me so here is my attempt at it.

P.S. I have never claimed to be fluent in Spanish. Please forgive me for completely butchering the Spanish part of the song.

Breathe - In The Heights

Hamilton is my jam right now but I can't rap (although I do think I do a pretty badass version of Lafayette in 'Guns and Ships' if I do say so myself but I doubt anyone wants to hear that haha). So here is me covering a song from the show that isn't rap.

Burn - Hamilton

Such an underrated musical. Andrew Lippa is one of my favourites. Here is my fairly awful attempt at this super hard song :)

Before It's Over - Dogfight

For the entire duration of this song, all that was going through my head was 'how do I breathe'? I almost died after that last (kinda flat) note due to lack of oxygen.

So Much Better - Legally Blonde

So after hearing the awesome news about the second Enchanted movie finally moving forward, I thought it would be cool to post my attempt at this song. Excuse the odd little mistakes and the crackling. I don't think my microphone was prepared for the loud noises that came out of my mouth  :)

Happy Working Song - Enchanted

In honour of the Newsies Live stage recording streaming in cinemas around the world this week, I've decided to upload a (hopefully improved from my previous attempt) cover of 'Watch What Happens'.

Newsies holds a special place in my heart as it was my very first Broadway musical. Katherine's character is especially very important to me and this show means the world to me.

My first attempt at the song about 2 and a half years ago: https://soundcloud.com/kateriley/watch-what-happens

I am in love with this music and this beautiful show. In other news, I discovered my parents' new kitchen has really nice acoustics (and yes you can hear Laura Osnes in the background because I couldn't completely take away her vocals from the track).

The Mad Hatter - Wonderland

I haven't posted anything on my soundcloud in 3 years! But I have been loving this song so much so decided to do a quick little cover of it.
