I just love Anna. She is so adorable, talented, beautiful, and witty

[GT_Void]

She is just a naturally funny person, off the cuff. Great wit, delivery, and perception.

To the editor of these videos: You're archiving a show. Stop cutting out the audience reactions. The Cups song finished flatter than the broadcast because you completely cut out the audiences reaction. You're on YouTube. We love reactions! You aren't going to get more people watching videos by making them shorter.

She's so likeable, cute, and funny. She will have a long career just because of her personality. She's a great actress..

[christianmoya]

Why did you cut out the crowd applause after her performance of it? That's where all the good energy to reciprocate her performance is at?

I saw the Anna Kendrick Cup Song as a YouTube short a while back, and it so intrigued me that I had to watch the 'Pitch Perfect' movie, which I actually didn't care for all that much since I'm at least two generations removed from finding movies like that worthwhile, but that Kendrick moment there on the stage made it all worth while.

[TedJamesLytle]

Probably the best vocal from an impromptu cold start I have ever heard.

As a teenager, I watched Dave for the comedy bits, but looking back on all of these old clips has caused me to realize what a skilled interviewer he is too.

[lindaname]

She is marvelous and so real, and decent and She can do it all and I love her!!

[scottnever]

[dougpotosky]

Anna! One of my all time favorites! Hope someday she is casted for a real classic movie. Hey Dave! We miss you.

WE HAVE TO GO BACK IN TIME TO FIND LATE NIGHT TV WORTH WATCHING THANK YOU DAVE LETTERMAN

[reaperb]

[radbradke]

She was kinda perfect for this role & got famous at the right time. Good for her. She will be taking in Trolls money for all time & I’m happy for her. Get it girl.

[StephenSmith-rnlo]

What a great voice and a wonderful personality

[AlexErika]

Seeing all these clips brings back so many great memories. I hope the uploads keep coming. Letterman was the best late show host.

To everyone who sees comments about Anna Kendrick not being a real singer... please link them to this.

[romesoldier]

She should have won an Oscar for this song!

[H-Vox]

Omg, can't believe Pitch Perfect was 10 years ago

[garywidom]

Love the constant, yet mostly subtle sarcasm from Dave during the interview… that is until he lays it on thick.
