    I'm personally offended that Adam Pascal has never played Judas.

      He would be perfect! He had the right voice

    This. Man. Is. God.
    A high C for like 8+ seconds in complete belt timbre...and he just hangs out from G-B for the entire second half of the song. This is a GIFT. damn.

      Jenna Lindsey the craziest thing about this is how chill he is. It's a rehearsal, his body language is super relaxed, he's even flipping through his score from time to time. And he's stands there, and nails every note of this notoriously difficult song like it's a walk in the park. It's crazy amazing.

      I sang this in college...don't have the pipes anymore. I was a true tenor 1 back then. Sang Jesus in JCS.

    @monipatricia 17 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Seriously, this man never ceases to amaze me! His ability to hit such high and difficult leaves me in awe. I cannot wait to see him live in concert in April.

    Amazingly sung with such feelings of anger, resentment and hurt (while reading the sheet music!). Just brilliant.

  • @juvaus07
    @juvaus07 15 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Adam Pascal was great during CHESS. I think he totally stole the show from everyone. AMAZING! God the DVD a couple of weeks ago and can't stop watching!

    As someone who has sung this song, The name 'Pity the Singer" makes me laugh so hard because it's so appropriate

  • @TicoTorres

  • @cliflejeune
    @cliflejeune 15 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Why has this show just never worked? I LOVE this score!! I hated what they did to it on Broadway (cut it to rat s**t) but they did add Someone Else's Story! And I agree, he nails this song... and for those of us who work on stage; can you imagine singing it 8 times a week...UGH!!!!! Thanks for posting these reahearsal vid's!!!

  • @FatimaSorianoOfficial

  • @trinityj1
    @trinityj1 16 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It's from the benefit concert performance of Chess (it was a one-off). You can't purchase the DVD, but it exists on the internet if you're savvy enough to find it.

    Friend, guys that can get up there in full voice with that kind of ease and power are few and far between. This is a really stellar performance.
    I can sing this, but I'm a soprano.

    • @anatoleishot

      Anthony Rapp Lover Murray's version was awesome, what are you saying?

    • @TimeandMonotony
      @TimeandMonotony 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't care for Murray Head (though his One Night in Bangkok remains unsurpassed), but Philip Casnoff's Pity the Child is excellent, though Adam's is better.

  • @chanteurmoderne
    @chanteurmoderne 14 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    @spydergoalie35 As an industry voice coach and professional voice researcher, I'm afraid I have to disagree with you. Adam is using twang to produce his highest notes - it's a high larynx, high power configuration - and it's perfectly healthy. In reality, if you lower the larynx slightly, you will end up with exactly the same thing that operatic tenors do to sing their high C. There is no reason for the male voice to avoid notes above A.

    • @HarrisonAFrazie
      @HarrisonAFrazie 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Okay help me sing this song because I've sung the high notes before but I'm not very consistent with it???? What should I do?

  • @imjustkaren8600
    @imjustkaren8600 9 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    So strange to say this about Adam, but he is adorable here. No need to even mention his VOICE. If I were his wife, I would make him sing to me instead of talking.. "I'm taking out the traaaaash!!"

  • @angeleyez101

  • @jnehila
    @jnehila 16 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Adam is so ridiculously amazing with those notes. And...he is so much more REAL and subtle with his emotions than the others in this cast ...He is like the "Actor's" musical actor...he doesn't make it so melodramatic, and he sounds amazing in the process. It makes me weep when he hits those notes and has that subtle, wry, sarchastic look on his face. LOVE it! DO NOT feel the same way about Julia Murney however, and Sutton Foster is only slightly better. Her voice irks me. Groban is stellar

  • @gyurimihalka

  • @cameronnies7000
    @cameronnies7000 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The highest note in the song is a D flat or C sharp, it is for less than an eighth note, but it is still very high, even for a Tenor.

  • @mysterywhiteboy41
    @mysterywhiteboy41 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    about 2 years. I give the most credit from being in Songs for a New World, first as an ensemble member just doing man #2s harmonies...then Jesus Christ Superstar where I played Judas...and most recently Songs for a New World (again) this time as Man#1 handling the full track.
    I find the more I just throw myself into difficult situations, the better i get. It's a good time.

  • @PearseToC
    @PearseToC 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    The hardest notes in this song aren't even the final (and highest) notes but the piece before that is constant around g/a/b/c... tough tough and greatly sung here!

  • @iduefoscari
    @iduefoscari 16 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Are we in for a show in London in may!!Its funny when I read that Chess was a disaster on Broadway after its success in London. I have some idea how Verdi must of felt after the disaster of the premier of La Traviata. The boys from Abba had written perhaps one the greatest score for a musical and the New Yorkers were sucked into believing what a crap reviewer had written about the show.

  • @potophan2006
    @potophan2006 17 ปีที่แล้ว

    He sings it on his CD "Stage Heroes". At first I didn't think it was him, because he sounded like he was singing country for the first few lines. I think Pascal is better suited to more rock 'n rollish music though ;)

  • @patchchat
    @patchchat 17 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Guys? The actual show is on Google Video. It's in 2 parts. When you search it (I used "chess benefit concert"), just look for the Google logo (a "G")cuz there's a lot of UTube on there as well. It'll take about an hour to see both parts. Havn't done it yet...wanna really be able to sit and enjoy it.

    • @pearpenguin
      @pearpenguin 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you search for "checkers part 1" etc you'll see bits and pieces of the show but some parts have been taken down.

  • @patchchat

  • @KtangMC
    @KtangMC 13 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    What is that high note!!!!???

  • @RandomZydeco
    @RandomZydeco 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @oneblazeof That's full voice. Adam's not using classical technique here, but that's appropriate since chess is essentially a rock opera. Also, you're quite something if you can sing an E5 "like the pros" at 17...care to share a video with us?

  • @pickleydoo
    @pickleydoo 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    (girl voices confuse me too...)
    but no he's not singing in falsetto. he's just fierce like that.
    also, when i sing this song, i find that it's harder to pull that c out of nowhere (at the end) as opposed to singing into it like the first time around.

  • @NatalieMasterton
    @NatalieMasterton 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @chanteurmoderne I wouldn't say he was using twang......twang has a tendency to sound nasal and the sound Adam's producing is cleaner than that. I would definitely say that was a full but safe belt...not pushing it so hard as to damage his voice but still keeping the throat open and producing an extremely powerful sound. Anyway, regardless of any techniques......he is awesome and that was an awesome performance :)

    THANK YOU!!! I'm classically trained for 15 years, did Carnegie Hall, yada yada, and I don't do shit like this. I HATE IT when people dissect everything in musical verbiage as if they talk that way in real life. It's just self-indulgent, "oh look at me, I'm a professional!" bullshit. Real stars don't even do that. For them it's work and then they go home, on with their normal lives. Cut it out because you are not impressing anyone. Ugh.
