Online Performance #1 Although all three videos showed the same song being performed, the environment of each performance definitely had an influence on how it was sung and performed. In each rendition of “If I Loved You”, by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, there was differences in the way the message of the song was being conveyed. There are probably things in each rendition that can be improved on, such as posture or in having more facial expressions. Each performance had its own challenges due to the setting they were in, but all of them had a common goal of portraying a message. People have their own interpretation of what the song is trying to convey, so of course each rendition did not sound the same, and had its own character.

Although both singers use lots of facial expression, they hardly interact with one another. They do not look at each other through most of the performance, and it seems more as if the song is directed towards the audience and not at each other like the other two renditions were. They both had amazing posture throughout the entire performance, and not once did they tense up on their shoulders. Their breathing techniques and timing where fantastic, which was noticeable because when they breathed their shoulders would hardly move. In this rendition the singing is main focus, but in the other two renditions acting, if not more than, equally as important as the singing. This rendition did not have that quality in which it seemed as like an intimate moment unlike the other two. It was not romantic, but it did have a distant type of quality which came across as a heart break …show more content…
Something that I noticed that occurred in every performance was how each person would prepare themselves for a big moment. When a big, long, or high note or phrase would come they would take the time to correct their posture in order to perfectly execute that moment or phrase. Something else that they all did when hitting those big moments, especially at the ending, was that they would open up their mouths more. All of the singers, although at some point some of them may have tensed up a bit, made it seem as if this song was very easy to sing and they exuded confidence in their ability.
All of these renditions were amazing, but the first rendition is my favorite because of its overall quality. I am a sucker for romance and I love how both characters seem to have real chemistry between them. The lyrics of the song seem to actually come alive during this performance, and the emotions seem more real rather than rehearsed like the second rendition, or distant like the third rendition. Each performance had its own unique qualities, which made each of them very distinct and special. It’s awesome to see how different people perceive and convey different emotions even though it is the exact same
