I was looking through the different versions of The Worst Pies in London when I found the Korean version. Cool huh?

I love the cloud of flour,the energetic dough beating, and the emphasis on certain actions. It's very physical.
Angela Lansbury's version is great because she has such energy, comedy, and that accent is quite different from her
regular voice. Patti Lupone take is different as well because it's less comedic, by that I mean Lansbury's had more comedy. They both have excellent comedic timing, but they're actors they're suppose to interpret it
in a way that makes sense to them. :D

Yang Joon-mo has such a wonderful, creepy, deep voice and I love how he changes
it delivers the insanity perfectly.

I like the different interpretations. I like Johnny Depp's because it fits the movie it's quieter, and more subtle
he doesn't have to have the energy the more comedic versions of Sweeney Todd have.I like Len Cariou because it's energetic, but still has subtlety. George Hearn has an amazing powerful voice, but I like his version of this song less because he shouts more than I like.
Brian Stokes Mitchell's version with trembling with sadness or insanity, arms spread out like an attacking bear and booming voice is great too.

I like how in this one one part she reaches out with her hand. And Anthony, I like his deeper voice. Maybe I just like Johanna and Anthony older. :D
Johanna and Anthony in the Tim Burton version is very sweet and young, but sometimes I think it's too quiet. I think it's a bit sad their part was cut out for the most part.
Betsy Joslyn as Johanna and from the Lansbury and George Hearn version takes a much different tactic--comedic with this song.

I can't decide whether I like his version or Ed Sanders'. In this one I like how he could come across as someone very young in mind sincerely and the sort of bowing at her feet. :D
The Sanders in Burton's is incredibly sweet and that boy has an amazing voice for one so young especially in Mr. Pirelli's Miracle Elixir.
