Jessie J started off in musical theatre! That's her background. She was in Whistle Down The Wind in the West End. She could nail many roles in musical theatre, and sing them as they are written. She'd be amazing.
Fantine, I Dreamed a Dream. She does look like an Eponine, but this isn’t Eponine’s song. I do love the differences between her version and LuPone’s version.
Is today "Prank a Musical Theater Nerd Day"? Because it's clear he knows the song he's listening to, he's singing along. But then everything else is wrong. Wrong character, wrong title, wrong scene, wrong struggle. I'm so confused, lol. I mean, the first words of the song are literally the title. 😆 Edit: Wow. Some if y'all are taking this way too seriously. It's a mistake. And far from a dire one, in the grand scheme of things. We all make mistakes, so just have a chuckle, remember even the experts have brain farts on occasion, and relax. No one died. Well. Except Fantine and her dreams...
I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone because this is clearly "I Dreamed A Dream" but MDP keeps saying "On My Own" and referencing Lea Salonga. Is anybody else seeing this? Lol It's beautiful either way.
I luv Jessie J. She can sing! And this interpretation is heartfelt. The tone, the breadth, & the pain!!! You are being tough on her. Lol. I would luv to see this performance realized on stage. Yes, that it is what it is Marc- it's her phrasing. Yes! PS... these comments are uber judgy. Wow. Lol. 😂. My response, so what? What's in a title? No wait, it is name. Lol.
Actually, it is both characters. Fantine has an affair with a guy who knocks her up and bolts. "I Dreamed a Dream" is clearly about a guy who doesn't love her.
@@hypherbb12 Yeah, yeah. I know that Marc apparently confused "On My Own," with "I Dreamed a Dream." I was moving on from there to note the similarities of the characters.
I just don‘t believe that you really thought that was „on my own“. You literally know every musical theatre song that exists by heart. I see you lipsyncing in every video there is just no way that you did this by accident. Is there something behind this? 😅
I enjoyed this one. I noticed that she sometimes seems to fall off the last note of some of the phrases, particularly towards the end of the song. Is that the crack you’re talking about? Or, what is the name of the thing she did with some end notes? Is there a technical name for it? It’s something I do when singing sometimes, and I’m aware it’s something I intentionally chose to do stylistically, but I’ve never known what to call that. Anyway, thanks for another fantastic video. :)
One of my favorite YT videos is the one where Jessie J just starts singing on a NYC subway platform to people who clearly have no clue who she even is. Watching people just.... forced by her amazing voice to stop and listen, it's great.
People can pick holes and find faults, but how many others stand in front of their phone warts and all and then post it for the world to see. So many experts.
So interesting about the karaoke and the orchestra waiting to follow you. I've been playing guitar recently and rigidly sticking to timing and a guitar teacher told me to play to my singing, not the other way around.
Ok am I completely wrong or was this song not sung by Fatane Ann Hathaway's character in Les Miserables and not by Ebony? This is I dreamed a dream and not On my own sung by Ebony in the rain. Please correct me if I am wrong. I just watched the movie about 20 times or more with my youngest daughter.
Soo AGREE 😉CANT put Jess in a box -Im also a longtime HB -my favorites of Jess are always straight out of the shower👏Good analogy Adele-Amy one nite stand👍I prefer when she gets lost in the song & not worried about lyrics!! Curious did u re act to her At Home ‘Defying Gravity’ Amazing-so glad her voice is back👏👍Loved UR reaction-Thanks!! 🌷👏❤️👍😉
Didn't she do a Wicked number recently too? I've always thought she had an amazing voice, I'm not a fan of any of her songs really but she's done some crazy good covers
Between this video and the misquote of Funny Girl in a previous video (sacrilege!), I'm wondering if this is all an elaborate prank to get the theater nerds riled.
Me the first 3 times he said Eponine; “Imma let that go.” Me by the end of the video: “FANTINE FANTINE FANTINE” lol. All in good fun. I did not know the Price Tag girl could really sing!
I actually feel a little bit of dread at reading the comments on your behalf 😂 This is gonna be an unfortunate typo. Edit: what's it called when it's a typo but in your brain?
I’m so confused. MDP clearly knows Les Mis. He clearly knows the difference between Fantine and Eponine. He clearly knows “this guy” is Marius. Have I fallen into a pocket dimension? Is this version of MDP visiting from a pocket dimension? (In which case, hello pocket MDP! In this dimension this song is called “I dreamed a dream” 😘) Why did he keep recording this saying it was On My Own? I mean Fantine introduces the musical motif of redemptive sacrifice that is the theme of On My Own and also the finale itself, but this isn’t the piece where she does that. What happened? MDP tell me, I must know. (Edit: also MDP you KNOW that it’s Amy Winehouse that has/had the better vocal technique! She was a legendarily technical singer. Not to knock Adele - who has a beautiful voice - but she sits in her belter until her vocal chords strain. She’s publicly had to cancel shows because of this! Am I in opposite land today? Someone help me.)
Okay, I had to check to make sure this wasn't posted on April 1st. This is Jesse J performing Fantine's song "I Dreamed a Dream" not Eponine's "On My Own". His comments are fine but after him saying Eponine 3 or 4 times, I was ready to scream.
You keep saying Eponine and the title is On My Own but this is I Dreamed a Dream sung by Fantine. Very strange that you say it's your favourite of all time 😳
It's killing me that you keep referring to this as if it is "On my Own" when it's not. It's "I Dreamed a Dream". She is singing a Fantine song not Eponine. And you are referring to lyrics that are not there. I wish I was in the room with you when your were recording this cuz I would have prevented you from making all those mistakes. I like your vids but I just couldn't with this one.
When I read the title then started watching the video I was like OK? Maybe he’s reacting to both songs. Not sure if this was a punk’d situation or theater coach has a massive brain fart, or something else entirely. I’m kinda chuckling at the comments though. So many either didn’t catch the mistake or are maybe being polite and not bringing it up. 😂
So how do we get Mr. Patrick to our girl Faouzia? She’s got a dramatic enough voice for Musical theater. I don’t think it’s something she grew up with, and therefore hasn’t covered. But she could certainly do anything Barbra Streisand or Idina Menzel could sing.
I mean…with the vocal talent and reach we know she has, she could have emoted so much more than she did. She was hitting the notes, but it was without any of the feeling of the song’s message and context. It was meh.
You're calling yourself a musical theatre coach and expect us to believe you can't tell the difference between "On my Own" and "I dreamed a dream"? absolutely banking on the fact that people are itching to correct you in the comments to drive up engagement stats for the algorithm. Bye.
I agree with the crescendo on the phrase "shame". It really needs to swell to hit the way its intended. Nice catch on the driving through the air at the beginning to fit the character's defeated exasperation and wistfulness. Idk about the Adele and Amy winehouse bit. Her voice on average is much cleaner than either. Less texture and more range and agility up top. She sounds closer to a Whitney. Not gonna touch on the other bit, though it was kinda funny lol.
I never could decide if I liked this performance or not. I realize the restrictions she was under, but the bottom line for me is that she did not convince me of her sincerity.
Am I the only one who found her swinging back and forth completely distracting? By the end of the song I was seasick! And her arm movements....really?! She's got a great voice, and I know she was just singing at home, but I did not love this perfprmance.
This is undoubtedly the most distinctive rendition of "On My Own" I've ever heard. It's like she's turned it into a different song entirely!
It’s actually I Dreamed A Dream.
@@meganswistak1144 Please google my user name. :-)
@@ProuvaireJean so that’s what his name is… I’ve always wondered…
😂
🤣
This is “I dreamed a dream”, not “on my own”. However, she sounds amazing.

Um, it's I Dreamed A Dream sung by Fantine in Les Mis
Yes! I love MDP but the whole time I was like "this is not On My Own!"
@@kabiraltaf RIGHT!
This!
Glad I’m not the only one that was confused…. But now I really want to hear her sing On My Own!
Considering she couldn’t sing for about a year and only just her vocals back a tiny bit before filming this it’s pretty damn incredible.
Is today "Prank a Musical Theater Nerd Day"? Because it's clear he knows the song he's listening to, he's singing along. But then everything else is wrong. Wrong character, wrong title, wrong scene, wrong struggle. I'm so confused, lol. I mean, the first words of the song are literally the title. 😆

FWIW, Lea Salonga also appeared as Fantine, but I understand her notoriety stems more from portraying Eponine and magically singing On My Own. 🥰
I think he had a few glasses to many of that wiskey he really loves and wanted to get sponsored by... 😀
@@naamahnotorious955 This would be the best reason lol. A true pandemic mood.
Lol @ "Except Fatine and her dreams". Agreed, we all goof & sometimes you just gotta laugh and roll w/ it
Omg I was also very confused too! Glad I'm not the only one...
I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone because this is clearly "I Dreamed A Dream" but MDP keeps saying "On My Own" and referencing Lea Salonga. Is anybody else seeing this? Lol
It's beautiful either way.
I felt like I was getting punked the entire time… everyone makes mistakes, but this bothered me more than I thought it would 😂
Always amazed that musical theatre songs tell stories spanning generations without us even knowing the story😏
The song title is I Dreamed a Dream not On My Own...
No ONE BETTER LIVE THAN JESSIE🌷😉👏❤️👍Just Facts🤔
I luv Jessie J. She can sing! And this interpretation is heartfelt. The tone, the breadth, & the pain!!!
You are being tough on her. Lol.
I would luv to see this performance realized on stage.
Yes, that it is what it is Marc- it's her phrasing. Yes!
PS... these comments are uber judgy. Wow. Lol. 😂. My response, so what? What's in a title? No wait, it is name. Lol.
You were definitely thinking "On my own" while reacting to this.
"Crying over this man who doesn't love you."
"Eponine. Eponine. Eponine."
Actually, it is both characters. Fantine has an affair with a guy who knocks her up and bolts. "I Dreamed a Dream" is clearly about a guy who doesn't love her.
@@mervyngreene6687 uhmm yes. But did you watch the video?
@@hypherbb12 Yeah, yeah. I know that Marc apparently confused "On My Own," with "I Dreamed a Dream." I was moving on from there to note the similarities of the characters.
I think you need to pull this video off asap, then do it again using the correct song title and character name (I Dreamed a Dream, Fantine)..
I just don‘t believe that you really thought that was „on my own“. You literally know every musical theatre song that exists by heart. I see you lipsyncing in every video there is just no way that you did this by accident. Is there something behind this? 😅
Oh Marc 🤦♀️😂 still love you 😍

Please review Michael Ball singing ‘Oh what a circus’.
So interesting about the karaoke and the orchestra waiting to follow you. I've been playing guitar recently and rigidly sticking to timing and a guitar teacher told me to play to my singing, not the other way around.
Can you react to Ruthie Henshall singing I Dreamed A Dream at the 10th anniversary?
Ok am I completely wrong or was this song not sung by Fatane Ann Hathaway's character in Les Miserables and not by Ebony? This is I dreamed a dream and not On my own sung by Ebony in the rain. Please correct me if I am wrong. I just watched the movie about 20 times or more with my youngest daughter.
The songs name is I dreamed a dream

And it’s Fantine
Amy Winehouse + Adele is perhaps the best, most accurate depiction of Jessie J I think I’ve ever heard. 👌
Between this video and the misquote of Funny Girl in a previous video (sacrilege!), I'm wondering if this is all an elaborate prank to get the theater nerds riled.
Me the first 3 times he said Eponine; “Imma let that go.” Me by the end of the video: “FANTINE FANTINE FANTINE” lol. All in good fun. I did not know the Price Tag girl could really sing!
Look up Jessie J on the Chinese singer TV show, specifically Purple Rain and My Heart Will Go On. She has some pipes!
I actually feel a little bit of dread at reading the comments on your behalf 😂 This is gonna be an unfortunate typo. Edit: what's it called when it's a typo but in your brain?
Pedantic point, this isn’t Eponine’s song, it is Fantine’s. By the way, has anyone told you that you look like a young Philip Quast? 🤩
💄Quick! Fix the title of the song! Not On My Own! 💋
I’m so confused. MDP clearly knows Les Mis. He clearly knows the difference between Fantine and Eponine. He clearly knows “this guy” is Marius.
Have I fallen into a pocket dimension? Is this version of MDP visiting from a pocket dimension? (In which case, hello pocket MDP! In this dimension this song is called “I dreamed a dream” 😘)

I love your intros..i never watch intro monogues, except.yours..haha
have you viewed Nathania Ong singing On My Own?
3:30, and pausing here afraid to keep playing… Because I know she’s about to launch into runs and I know he’s not going to be a fan of that, LMAO.
Love her voice, and she sings with a lot of passion. She does seem to struggle a bit on a few notes, her voice almost disappears on a couple notes.
Okay, I had to check to make sure this wasn't posted on April 1st. This is Jesse J performing Fantine's song "I Dreamed a Dream" not Eponine's "On My Own". His comments are fine but after him saying Eponine 3 or 4 times, I was ready to scream.
That’s “i dreamed a dream” not “on my own”😅
Pleaae react her perfomance "when you wish upon a star"
Pleaae, please, please🙏🏻🙏🏻
Um this is Fantine, not Eponine....and it’s not “on my own”...😬
As a fellow lover/obsessive of Les Mis, I'm a tad surprised Mark 😂😘
I thought I missed this song when I read the tittle but it's the one I already heard
You keep saying Eponine and the title is On My Own but this is I Dreamed a Dream sung by Fantine. Very strange that you say it's your favourite of all time 😳
It's killing me that you keep referring to this as if it is "On my Own" when it's not. It's "I Dreamed a Dream". She is singing a Fantine song not Eponine.

Fantine. I’m sure you’re kicking yourself for this one! ;) But love your analysis overall
(Except the “Eponine in the Rain” comment. But again, the heartbreak is definitely intoned. ;)

Yeah I'd change the title of this video so it says the correct song
The song is called "I Dreamed a Dream" NOT "On My Own"!!!!
She singing “I dreamed a dream”, not “on my own”.
So how do we get Mr. Patrick to our girl Faouzia? She’s got a dramatic enough voice for Musical theater. I don’t think it’s something she grew up with, and therefore hasn’t covered. But she could certainly do anything Barbra Streisand or Idina Menzel could sing.
Dude, too much wine for lunch? This isn't "On My Own" and it's not an Eponine song. Did 1 April come by without me releasing it? Whaaaat?
Can you react to "all I ask of you/all I ask of you reprise" or "The final lair" from phantom of the opera 2004.
Am i the only one who noticed this isn't "On My Own"
Fantine, not Eponine
Am I the only one who wants Jesse J as Elphaba?
I dreamed the dream, Marc 🤣 don’t worry man it happens!
Seems so effortless for her
I was waiting for On My Own...but...what!
She does do a version of On My Own, unfortunately this is not it. 😂
I’m confused 😳
Review Halle Bailey Can You Feel the Love tonight!
I can't tell if this is some sort of joke that I do not understand.
This is not On My Own... this is I Dreamed a Dream
he clearly had a brain fart LOL it happens.
What is going on here? How can you make a mistake like this? "On my own...pretending he is joking. All alone, he got it wrong...this morning."
Please react to VOCTAVE!!!
okay: CORRECT the song title and the CHARACTER name. I expect so much better from you!!!
I think someone was tired today
I mean…with the vocal talent and reach we know she has, she could have emoted so much more than she did. She was hitting the notes, but it was without any of the feeling of the song’s message and context. It was meh.
You know she isn't singing on my own, correct?
You're calling yourself a musical theatre coach and expect us to believe you can't tell the difference between "On my Own" and "I dreamed a dream"? absolutely banking on the fact that people are itching to correct you in the comments to drive up engagement stats for the algorithm. Bye.
You keep on saying eponine. Its fantine
It’s quite shocking that this guy seems to be quite elitist about musical theatre but doesn’t know the song or the original singer.
Uh..On My Own?? Mistakes happen…but c’mon man!!
What I find interesting about this mistake is that it brings up a point I have never heard discussed. Fautine and Eponine are very similar characters.
I agree with the crescendo on the phrase "shame". It really needs to swell to hit the way its intended. Nice catch on the driving through the air at the beginning to fit the character's defeated exasperation and wistfulness.
Idk about the Adele and Amy winehouse bit. Her voice on average is much cleaner than either. Less texture and more range and agility up top. She sounds closer to a Whitney. Not gonna touch on the other bit, though it was kinda funny lol.
Lol FANTINE!!!!!!!
It’s a prank, isn’t it?
i think lea salonga's version is by far the best version ever. Jessie J is trying very hard
I personally think Ruthie Henshall's I Dreamed A Dream is the best.
And Lea Salonga has the best On My Own version
I never could decide if I liked this performance or not. I realize the restrictions she was under, but the bottom line for me is that she did not convince me of her sincerity.
Nah it’s surely an odd joke??
Ariana Grande vibes at the end
Am I the only one who found her swinging back and forth completely distracting? By the end of the song I was seasick! And her arm movements....really?! She's got a great voice, and I know she was just singing at home, but I did not love this perfprmance.
Some great vocal acrobatics, but ZERO EMOTION, and flipping in and out of character all the time. God damn woman, glue your feet to the floor! 😡
So Jessie J. So awful haha
Jessie J is incredible. Have you seen the short video she did of defying gravity? Sooooo good!! I love listening to her sing.
