In this video Marc discusses Jeremy Jordan’s performance of a female musical theatre ballad. Marc talks about gender roles, subtle acting tips, phrasing and the importance of giving yourself fully to the song and character you’re portraying.
Overreacting?? That climax is phenomenal and heartbreaking and gives it the emotion that befits the character's state of mind... It represents a complete and total breakdown, realising that she's lost her life, and the last stanza is indicative of being totally empty and gutted.
Exactly. You know how many failed aspiring musical theatre actors/singers become grifting “professional coaches” and “professional master teachers” just because they just couldn’t make it themselves? I’ve seen it countless times myself lol. Musical theatre is a heightened art form. Just as it should be. Would you criticize a classical Shakespearean actor this way? Or an opera singer? Or ballet dancer? Didn’t think so. The jealousy is palpable lmao.
I was a bit bumped by the stomp overacting comment at first. Maybe Jeremy needed that big stomp for himself in the moment, but I actually agree that it took me out of the song a bit the first time I saw it.
I can't wait...one of my favorite Jeremy Jordan performances (his "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" is also AMAZING).
Also total eclipse of the heart
Stevenh1979 I LOVE that video!!
That’s one of my favorite performances of his
Also one of my favorites! But if this guy doesn’t like overacting, he’s not going to enjoy his Celine lol
Yes this please
Damn. That's a hell of a point. "He has nothing more than an empty stage, a microphone and an audience full of people. If you're a performer or wanting to be a performer in life - you should be so lucky to have those 3 things." Thank you for that.
Not sure if I'm a typical audience member, but I think the way you actually address the acting component is what sets you apart from some of the other vocal coach channels. I appreciate your attention to this and think actors can learn a great deal listening to your commentary!
Thank you Carey. I really appreciate that. The hope is to build something different here for sure.
I agree! but if he knows a lot about vocal technique, I think he should talk a little bit more about that
Instablaster
I dont know ur reaction of these song ... I saw you in utube ur reaction.. i dont know who sang perfectly .. i have comment to you coz nobody sang better ! Whats apt to you.. who sang better perfectly!!!
I was never a fan of this song til i saw the Jeremy Jordan version. He just knocks it out of the park.
This is actually one of my favorite versions of the song, and really made me start appreciating Jordan more as a musical theater icon. The emotion really worked for me here and made me appreciate Jenna's character and her struggles in a different way.
Marc: I've never been a Jeremy Jordan fan... He always seems to over act.
Me: *thinking of the big kick coming up* This should be good.
7:46 😂
HAHA.
😂😂😂
Jeremy Jordan is an icon
He's perfection and his wife sings so much better than she did when they were first together. I think I have seen every video of JJ singing on TH-cam. His wife and him used to sing a lot together at the concert shows, little venues. You can tell over the years from when they started singing together to now how much better she is. Yes that could be with more practice and performances but having JJ as your husband I believe has to have something to do with it. They just had a baby well a little less than a year ago, did I mention super fan lol. I just discovered your Channel after watching Hamilton on the Disney network and crying through the whole thing. I had to look up who played his wife. Then I found your channel. You deserve more subscribers your very good. Thank you.
"I wasn't a big fan of his take as Jack Evans, I don't know why" - Maybe 'cuz he played Jack Kelly ? 😂 Joking aside, I really like your videos, please keep it up ! :)
Haha. Did I actually say that? Wow - good catch my bad.
I didn't like his accent in the show. It was way to cliche.
@@MarcDanielPatrick it also wasn't a revival. it had never been on Broadway before that production.
@@ev13191 you said it
@@carrots7216 If I remember right, the Brooklyn dude in some interview it was mentioned he was actually from Brooklyn and tried to do an actual Brooklyn accent tho.
In one audition I was in, my friend, who is a boy, sang “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from “The Wizard of Oz.” He did amazing and got a lead role. The director and music director both even mentioned how cool it was that he had the guts to sing a song originally sang by a soprano woman. They also said it really sets him apart from the other people who auditioned.
If its done well, it can absolutely have that effect.
I have to agree with another commenter: your take on these preformances keep turning into some of my favorites because you're discussing acting choices and stylization instead of a straight vocal critique. Looking forward to seeing more, as well as your new site!
Speaking of Jeremy Jordan, it'd be interesting to see your take on the tv show Smash; on the preformances themselves, and also your thoughts on how it portrayed the world of musical theatre and Broadway
Thank you so much. I am trying to build something different and showcase everything that goes into a musical theatre performance beyond JUST the vocals. Thank you so much for the support. Means a lot.
I would love to see your take on Smash too. :)
Watching you when you are enraptured by something the performer is doing is one of the purest expressions of joy I've ever seen. it makes me so happy to see
Well thank you so much. Means a lot.
Yes! No poker face; pure enjoyment.
I am a fan of Jeremy Jordan, and I love seeing your critiques of his acting choices. I don't necessarily have the same reactions as you do but I really appreciate your point of view.
7:46 that emotion change 😂😂
All jokes aside, I absolutely love the feedback you give!!
The cringe on marc face is showing
I would really love to hear your commentary on Jeremy Jordan in Newsies cause I really enjoyed his performance in it, but I'm very curious to hear what your thoughts are
Fair enough. I will do a reaction video on this soon. Thank you
@@MarcDanielPatrick Be careful with the copyrights tho... I think I've seen people getting copyright strikes for reacting newsies
You are right! Those variations are everything, they show that you became the character, you're not just you trying to show up your talent or amazing voice, you're feeling. I loved it!!!
Please please react to Jeremy Jordan performing Sondheim's losing my mind. Its my all time favourite!
That performance is BREATHTAKING.
Yes, I'd like to see your comments for Losing My Mind and also Her Embrace. Both beautiful performances.
Easily one of his most beautiful performances
Riffing off this, maybe sometimes, you should react to performances from Twisted Broadway or Miscast. One of my fave performances is Aaron Tveit & Gavin Creel singing Take Me Or Leave Me from Rent
Also Jay Armstrong Johnson and Andrew Keegan Bolger I’m singing 16 going on 17
Excellent idea. I'm getting this comment a lot in fact. Thank you so much.
OMG!! Yes! One of my all time favourite performances 🙌🏻
so grateful you reacted to this video 😍 I so love his take on this song that I love so much - he does it justice big time and gets me choked up every time I watch it 🤩
personally, I think a mix of the generic reaction and the masterclass style would be cool. Also you should 100% react to Aaron Tveit and Gavin Creel singing "Take me or leave me" from Rent :)
also, Jeremy Jordan is basically a cartoon character, lol. He is extra and I, personally, like it.
Thank you for the feedback. And I do love some Aaron Tveit so a great suggestion.
Ohhhh, that would be an ***amazing*** reaction video!!
Really any of the Miscast shows would be great.
I love Jeremy but I agree with you, Marc, that sometimes he overacts. I love it with performances like It’s All Coming Back To Me Now cause it suits it. But with something like this one, the stomp is too much.
Still, he’s one of my favorites.
Oh agreed. Hes still one of the best when it comes to Musical theatre. Just some hits and some misses.
If you knew the emotion he was trying to convey with this performance you would get it.
PhantomCortex 14 I do get the emotion he’s conveying. But the stomp is still over the top and detracts from a great performance.
@@cameronmcfeely8572 don’t be so patronising!!
the look on your face when he kicked😭
Haha. Was it that apparent? lol I just didnt expect it.
My favorite performance of his that I have seen AND just a superb reaction and analysis of it by you. So much terrific information to pass on to us. Thank you!
I think that Jeremy's performances have been greatly improved by his time on Supergirl. I have always loved his voice and enjoyed his acting but I agree with you that at times I found he overacted on stage. His time on Supergirl really gave him something meatier to chew the scenery with and with a steady job onscreen allowed him to mellow and add more subtlety to his work.
Really enjoyed this performance. You’re analogy of the song was dead on. Thank you & keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! 🔵⚪🔴
Love love love this performance!! This is the one that made me decide he's my new favorite singer.
"His take"? "Recent revival"? Wasn't he the first person to play this role in the first stage musical of Newsies? Not really a take if you originate a role I would think? I love him in Newsies but I'd be interested to hear what you think.
Mmm..actually fair point. The film version is the original, however, Newsies on Broadway wouldn't be considered a "revival" - you're right.
He’s amazing and he can overact, under-act or just stand there and I’d be happy to watch. I understand you’re doing this from another viewpoint (and I can’t hold a tune!). He’s just incredibly talented!
watching Jeremy Jordan sing makes me wanna go watch him sing "It's all coming back to me now" by Celine Dion for "Broadway Loves Celine Dion"
(I also recommend all those videos because they're so fun!!)
A fun performance from MCC is Jeremy and Johnathon Groff singing Let me be your Star from Smash.
I did musical theater from 3rd grade through high school. I can't tell you how much I miss it. It was such a huge part of my life and who I thought I would be. Watching these performances and your reactions makes me a little nostalgic and it's bittersweet, but in the best way possible! Thank you!
So glad I could help bring back those fond memories for you.
I really enjoyed this performance. Well done. I felt the emotion a lot. I agree, some women I feel like sing it too angrily and I don't feel it as much. This was great.
I’d love to see you perform! Please! You are a coach, so you could give us a great show.
I am literally loving/living for these videos. Keep creating.
Thank you so much. I was thinking of using some of my old performance videos as content for upcoming reactions. Soon enough, I promise.
I love how honest you are in reviewing the performance. Keep it up, we want to see more of this not biased reviews.
Thank you so much.
I really like the master class style videos, it’s so neat to see the detailed breakdown of what makes certain performances stand out.
Sounds good, thank you for the feedback.
I'm strictly audience, but I love theatre- it makes me cry. I'm missing going to NY to see the magic, and I am enjoying your channel because it will help me be a more discerning fan. My whopping 3 musicals on Broadway have been Carousel (3 years back), The Band's Visit and My Fair Lady at Lincoln Center.
Well heres hoping you get the opportunity to add to that number soon enough!
Your reaction to that stomp made me cackle because same. I love this performance, but that felt like a bad high school theatre audition moment.
Yes! Thats exactly what it looked like. So right.
I loved this, and thought it was a terrific performance. Jeremy always seemed so connected to the song, and he's willing to throw away beautiful singing for those little emotional moments (it's so great that you point that stuff out -- that sometimes perfection is not best for performance). I also am always a fan of people who are willing to play a song more internally and quietly, to allow it to build, but without letting it overtake them (which I felt happened on Shoshanna's take, that you also reviewed). This was lovely and a pleasant discovery for me. Thanks for the analysis!
Well said.
These have been great! I would love to see a series that focuses on duets, they way actors play off each other and how that focus differs from solo performances
Mmm. I like that suggestion.
@@MarcDanielPatrick If you do duets I'd love if you reacted to "For Good" from the #OutofOz series!
Marc
I've recently discovered your reactions and have enjoyed them -- I, as others have stated appreciate your take on more than vocal technique, especially character interpretation and masterclass style review -- let's see more of it.
One small thing I can't believe you didn't comment on...at the 9.38 mark of your video, I think the best choice Jeremy made in this entire performance is when he used the microphone to "mix" the pie ingredients to match the lyric "She is all of this, mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie".
thanks and I look forward to more!
Thank you so much for the support. You know, I didn't pick up on that at all - keen eye there sir.
During his last concerts in London, he did 'the best songs for The Last Five Years' and they were all her songs, haha! He just kills them!
I have watched all your videos in just one afternoon. Absolutely love your content. Can’t wait for more. I love your vulnerable, honest and supremely insightful reactions.
Please continue and perhaps consider a little more of the technical dissections. So inspiring 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s inspiring and a true refreshment in a time we can’t enjoy live theatre or music. Bravo 👏🏼
Tanja, this means so much, I truly appreciate it. 🙏
Marc Daniel Patrick Awww, it comes from the heart ❤️ Also I cannot wait for the website to be up! 🙌🏼
PS Please check your twitter account...I just followed you and sent you a link of an article where you are mentioned and they posted your video 💕
(I’m surprised I figured out how to do it as I haven’t been on Twitter in a few years but I had to other way to get in touch with you🤣)
So exciting!
@@tanjaroot6847 Oh intersting. I'll go check it out. Haha. Yea, sorry. IG page is coming soon, so DMs will be a thing.
Marc Daniel Patrick yay! Was wondering why no IG yet🧐Great 👍🏼
I definitely would appreciate a mix of the two. I love the entertainment piece of it, but I also definitely want more technical break-downs too
Thank you so much for the feedback
I was hoping to get a video from you today! This was perfect. I love your reaction videos, as well as your masterclass ones. It's really so fun just to watch you watch a performance and tell us about it! So anything you post, I'll be here for.
I do have to agree with you, Jeremy Jordan is a fantastic singer, and definitely an over-actor sometimes! That's why his Jack Kelly doesn't totally work for me, he overdoes some of the emotional moments (Santa Fe reprise comes to mind), which takes me out of the story and makes me worry for his pipes!
Thank you for your time in creating these videos, please keep it up!
Ah, very well said.
Thank you so much for all the support. It means a lot.
Great reaction. Love when someone can turn personal feelings toward a performer to appreciate the performance.
I’d like to see reactions and masterclass analysis
Thank you for the feedback.
SECONDED!
Wow! This might be the first reaction video where a coach doesn't completely melt when Jeremy sings. I'm definitely under the JJ spell but I can totally get why people think he overacts. I thought the same thing when I only knew him from Newsies. I'll say ALL the performances in Newsies are over the top and almost cartoonish, so I think it was a disney thing. For a less exaggerated performance, check out his versions of Losing My Mind, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Broadway Here I Come, or anything from The Last Five Years.
Aside from enjoying the music, I LOVE watching your reactions to the singers. Keep up the great work.
Hello! I just have to say how much I love your channel! It's so educational in a different way to what I've found on YT before. I'm a musical theatre performer myself over here in Sweden learning and getting inspired :-) Thank you!
Awww, thank you so much Carin. Means so much to me. 💕
I didn't even know he sang. I first saw him on the TV Show Supergirl. Then I saw him singing in a video with the cast of the Greatest Showman and what a voice. So glad you did this. I also agree with Carey. I've seen some other vocal coaching videos. But you by far have the channel that I enjoy the most. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much. Appreciate that.
I am not a professional musical performances or actress but since childhood I have loved all Art forms, especially music, he grabbed my attention with this beautiful performance, his voice, expression and acting is perfect for me, thank you for teaching us to see and hear all those details.
Thank you so much! Means a lot.
@@MarcDanielPatrick I just had the opportunity to study one year of Music at College in Mexico, I used to be in our Church Choir too, so I think I have a good 👂 for music not at your professional level... Keep the good work!!
I enjoyed this.. Love your commentary about him Marc... I still love to see your reaction for his Santa Fe though... Oh also his Maria from The West Side story is also good too...
Okay good good, I was worried. I will def do a Santa Fe video of his soon.
I like how your eyes speak without you actually speaking as you hear the singer performing. I also enjoy how you analyze softly yet expressing your views and gentle criticism (yet I get the feeling you bring the positive comments of the performer). Look forward to your next musical coaching expertise
. Thank you.
Yes! This makes me so excited!
Ikr
Reactions and deeper analysis would both be awesome, keep up with the great content
I do love how gently he ended the song as opposed to Shoshanna's powerhouse version.
Oh my god - that was just gorgeous. I could listen to it again and again
beautiful to see that you reacted to exactly the same parts that touched me emtionally - thanks
Yes please i love the idea of more details and masterclass videos!!! It would help me understand musical theatre better
Thanks for the feedback!
It took me some time to warm up to Jeremy Jordan because I didn’t care for the accent he did in Newsies. I thought it was a little much. Plus I was pretty attached to the Christian Bale version of his character. But once I got over that and started listening to him do other stuff, it turns out her can do ANYTHING. He has crazy range and rarely ever hits a false note. I could agree that he might over-act when he’s singing sometimes: sometimes I wish he would just sing as himself rather than playing a character. But he can really sing any piece and the quality of his voice is so lovely. I’ve seen bootleg videos of his performance in “Waitress” as Dr. Pomatter was really, really impressive.
This is such a good comment! He is incredible at times and others just miss the mark for me. Well said.
@@MarcDanielPatrick He's perfection in my opinion, and his wife sings so much better than she did when they were first together. I think I have seen every video of JJ singing on TH-cam. His wife and him used to sing a lot together at the concert shows, little venues. You can tell over the years from when they started singing together to now how much better she is. Yes that could be with more practice and performances but having JJ as your husband I believe has to have something to do with it, I would love to know your thoughts. They just had a baby well a little less than a year ago, did I mention super fan lol. I just discovered your Channel after watching Hamilton on the Disney network and crying through the whole thing, I loved it. I had to look up who played his wife. Then I found your channel. You deserve more subscribers your very good. Thank you. P.S what did you think of the movie The last five years that he did with Anna Kendrick? I think It would be interesting to see the difference between him or any Broadway performer singing in a show on Broadway and doing a movie musical, just an idea. Subscribed,liked and hit the bell. Thank you for sharing your expertise!!!
I would love to see you react to Andrew Rannells sing 'I believe' from 'The Book Of Mormon'. It is an acting masterclass from Rannells who utterly owns the stage that he is, for the most part, alone on and would love to hear your thoughts on his performance. Cheers. th-cam.com/video/GVJgmp2Tc2s/w-d-xo.html
I'd love to check it out. Thanks!
@@MarcDanielPatrick i second this! His performance is really great
I really like to see your reactions and your analysis and breakdowns.
You give a very good education behind the videos. Thank you Marc
I "perform" even when I'm alone by myself with no audience, whether it's a musical theater song or not.
Literally cried when I saw this for the first time, he’s literally amazing!! He’s definitely my idol, I really hope I can see him perform in person someday!!
Thank you for your content. I adore musical theatre and I appreciate having someone to break down for me why. I love learning from a professional what it is about the vocal moments and acting decisions that can wrench genuine tears from me, even in the anticipation of it. I think of Lea Michelle singing “Rain on My Parade” at the Tony’s, maybe? And her gut-wrenching camera stare that makes me fill with emotion when I only moderately enjoy her as a performer. In this video you really get at my own mixed feelings about JJ - undeniably a master in conveying emotion through his vocal range, I feel uncontrollably moved by a lot of what he sings. But as you point out, a lot of the physicality of his choices is just cringey. So it’s not “Do I love or do I hate JJ,” it’s - what do I love about him, and what do I wish he did better? Keep making great content. Would love to see you dive into a lot of the 25th anniversary broadway films, or explain to me how the F Sutton Foster could ever perform “Anything Goes” 8 times a week because WHAT.
Haha. Thank you so much for the support! Sutton Foster is coming, dont worry.
I am loving these videos, so insightful and I’m enjoying getting all the info on master class musical theatre! So interesting.
I would love to see a video on the cover of Maybe This Time from Schitts Creek. I know it’s not a musical, and it’s short, but I love it!
I mean, a Chicago review in general would be 👌
I dont know about reacting to it, but how about that Emmy sweeping show! 💕💕
For sure! They did amazing 😱
If you haven’t seen Adrian sing she used to be mine, you need to react/analyze his version! That kid is mad talented.
Been hearing that kids name quite a bit now. Haha. Hes fantastic. Thanks for the comment from a TH-camr thats killing it btw. Congrats!
For future reaction videos, what about a super deep cut? Jane Horrocks singing "Cabaret" like an absolute mad woman in the London production of "Cabaret." Stuff of legends, it is.
Maybe This Time - one of the most depressing musical theatre songs of all time, and most ppl this its a song of hope.
Love it. Have you also checked that kid named Adrian singing this? I really love that one too.
Phillipa Soo killed it in Helpless on the Tonight Show Home Edition too!
Laura Michelle Kelley and Matthew Morrison "What You Mean To Me" next please! +1 sub for you ;)
Thank you so much for the support. 🙏
Yuh you ever hear of the lightning thief musical? George Salazar sings a few songs like The Tree On The Hill and Another Terrible Day. It's outstanding how different he can make his voice sound within the two different songs (since he's plays two diff characters in each song)
I think it might be fun if you reacted to "Theatre Fail" performances and give advice on how to recover from an unexpected situation and keep going. One example I can think of is a high school rehearsal of Les Mis, during Little Fall of Rain, Eponine's blood bag squirted directly upwards and poor Marius and Eponine were cracking up for half the performance
Been obsessed with this song and been looking for male covers to inspire me. I love his rendition and your react! I agree with you that sometimes he overacts a tiny little bit. This song is so beautifully written by Sara that I wish he had been more honest to the melody, especially in the end with the high elongated notes. My favourite performances of this song are by Jordin Sparks and, out of the musical context, Nicola from this year's American Idol. Thanks for your videos! 🙏🏼💚✨
I was waiting for a Jeremy Jordan reaction! I personally am i huge fan😍but i get your point😉 by the way i'd love your reaction to his Santa Fe in newsies! I Loved It and It was one of my favourites renditions of the song! So i would love to hear your take on It!
Also more miscast performances! Aaron Tveit and Gavin Creel anyone?
Santa Fe I will get to for sure.
@@MarcDanielPatrick oooh yes😍
Thank you! Really appreciate your insight. You articulate why a performance works for you and the details that I (subconsciously) appreciated. It’s so great to hear your notes and then watch the performance again. Would love to hear your thoughts on Michael Ball’s Gethsemane and Aaron Tveit’s Come What May.
Thank you so much. Means a lot to hear this type of reaction video resonates with you.
This popped up and I almost fan girl squealed 🤦♀️ lol Can't wait to hear your opinion, he's one of my favorites!!
Haha. Thats what I aim for. The fan girl squeal.
@@MarcDanielPatrick 😂😂😂
I would love to see your reaction and hear your thoughts on Jessie Mueller's performance of this song at the Tony's. She apparently had laryngitis at the time but did a fantastic job anyway.
Oh my god I was very offended at you not liking Jeremy Jordan initially, but you have a point with his overacting. I enjoy it though haha, I LOVED It's all coming back to me now. He just seems to really love performing. And his range is amazing. I love him, he has fun on stage, and I really really like that.
Please do more Jeremy Jordan videos!
I've never seen the musical waitress and I don't know the context for the song but it still made me cry
Someone should explain to Jeremy Jordan that he has a naturally expressive face and gesticulations so he can't throw his whole self into acting in the same way other people do.
Oh how I don’t love giving a musical theatre actor a handheld mic. It’s like giving them a prop. They have to figure out how to “act with it” and then make it work with the performance. I wish that more of these performances could use the same or similar head mics that they use on stage.
Such a good point Heather! Thankfully he left it on the stand for a good portion of it.
Marc Daniel Patrick unfortunately though there were times when I could actually see the thought “no don’t grab the mic yet” go across his face.
I would definitely like to see more male role analyses in addition to the female roles. I love that your primary reviews are female but also would like to see your perspective on male role performances. Just watched your review of "Think of Me" from Phantom and laughed hard at your reaction to Raoul.
More male performances are coming dont worry. Haha - the character has just always annoyed me no matter who plays it.
Full disclosure: I'm only just becoming familiar with Jeremy Jordan, and my experience is mostly with straight plays rather than musical theatre, so take the following with a grain of salt... :)
In general he seems more focused on his own performance than on the story, or what the character needs moment-to-moment. Gorgeous voice, no argument there. Some great choices too, again no argument. But it's like he's commenting on what's happening to the character (from the outside), rather than living what's happening to the character (from the inside).
Would love to see more Jeremy Jordan (I am a fan, but would like to hear your take)
Should react to Jeramy’s version of “Let it Go” from Miscast.
Also Don’t Rain on my Parade from miscast also
Have you watched him sing "Broadway here I come"? That killed me (bad choice of words there for obvious reasons but maaaan) - it's amazing. Please react to that at some point, would love to hear your thoughts, I always learn so much! Or Santa Fe, obviously.
Will do.
Another of my favourite Miscast performances is Jordan Fisher doing I'm Here from The Colour Purple, I'd love to see you react to that! XD
It’s interesting that you didn’t like Jeremy as Jack in Newsies. Have you seen him as Clyde Barrow in Bonnie and Clyde? That’s an interesting performance. He replaced the original Clyde when the guy got poor reviews. I’ve seen footage of the first Clyde, and I think Jeremy is much better in the role. He brings life to Clyde in a way that Stark Sands did not.
I’d love to see you react to: When I Drive, Bonnie, or Too Late to Turn Back Now. ‘Drive’ and ‘Too Late’ are physical-acting heavy songs. While ‘Bonnie’ is an intimate moment.
I'll make a Santa Fe reaction soon enough, to share my thoughts.
Masterclass version
I would love to see you react to Jeremy Jordan in Season 2 of Smash. Also just reactions to performances by Katherine McPhee and Megan Hilty from Smash Season 1/2
Oh Smash...a show that should have done so much better.
I was so sad when it ended!
I loved Smash! It was so underrated and definitely did not get as much attention as it deserved.
I would love a reaction to “Second Hand White Baby Grand” from Smash - I thought Megan Hilty nailed it. Also “Moving the Line”.
When you say he overacts its funny because you are also acting when you raise your eyebrows and put your fingers close to your chin to elucidate that you are absorbing the moments of the song. Its all relative on who we think is over acting vs who is giving a really great performance.
"Every time someone is taking their time out of their lives and money out of their pockets to sit and watch you perform, you should be actually performing the song." AMEN.
Keep thinking you are Stephen Fry when I glance over the thumbnails hahah...great videos though!
Haha. I'd take his career!
I enjoy the breakdown and analysis of the performances. I love musical theater and this perspective is quite interesting and entertaining.
Thank you so much.
Have you seen 14 year old Adrian Matthew's performance of this song? It's on the official Waitress YT channel and it's probably the best rendition of this song I have seen
I have, and its pretty great.
Anybody else waiting for a Spotify recording of Jeremy Jordan singing this?
Love your channel but after your commentary I search out the recording to hear it without interruption and try to remember all your comments. Could play the musical number before or after your breakdown ?
Interesting point. Thank you .
Please do Kara Lindsay in Newsies “Watch What Happens” please please please!! I love that song and performed it for an audience one time and I really messed up a couple parts of it but thankfully the audience was very forgiving 😅 anyway, I want to know what you think of her broadway performance. Just found your channel and am greatly enjoying it!
Thank you so much for the support! I will get to this performance for sure.
