Gary C ,your breath control and phrasing is astounding. You become so wrapped up in the words and the feelings, that it is as if you are singing just to the one person listening to you. Well done.
I absolutely adore this song, and when I saw this in my subscriptions, my heart jumped with excitement. You completely nailed this song, and now I think I love it even more.
This is such a bittersweet song, I haven't actually seen the show and still it gets me deeper than most from shows I've seen and loved. You do it well especially at the very end.
This was so lovely - the emotion was just soaring through. I love Miss Saigon, would definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it (so long as you don't mind having your heart ripped out!)
This was beautiful! I may or may not listen to it a million more times to try and understand how someone can have such a marvelous voice. Absolutely brilliant!
This is incredible, Gary! So beautiful (and haunting). I was so happy to get to see the west end version before it closed! But this is amazing! Love you! xxx
This is my favourite song from MS and you nailed it, love the emotion in your voice. Taking you to see this and the day we had is one of my best memories of last year 🌻
+SydneyKav Thank you! It was so strange seeing someone else sing the song. Along with 'Empty Chairs' and a few others, they feel like MY songs. I remember singing them as a teenager and it's weird going back, like visiting an old friend :D
This is absolutely gorgeous 😍 I adore Miss Saigon, and was so sad when it left the West End.... You're an amazing singer Gary, and a genuinely amazing human being, I'm so happy I discovered you through watching Carrie and Pete 🎉
Amazing as usual Gary, I saw Miss Saigon at Bristol Hippodrome quite a few years back now, but I remember it being an incredible musical, would like to see it again xxx
Ahhh so good, this song definitely suits your voice, I saw the show back in November and now I'm obsessed with everything Miss Saigon so this was awesome Gary!
Wow. That was so powerful. Excuse me while I go wipe my tears... but really, I cried... and then felt like dancing... and then the tears resumed. Bravo!
i did the school edition of miss saigon at school two years ago, and this song is what people reference until this day. you sang it amazingly. what an absolute talent x
I'm not familiar with this musical but your voice is so well suited to this type of music Gary! The style of your voice reminds me so much of John Barrowman, you are so talented! X
I absolutely ADORE how into it you are!! The hand actions / acting involved. 😊 I aspire to one day be as emotive as you when I sing! I've genuinely seen another side to you in this video!!
+jameboyy Thanks, haha "holding back towards the end" The other take was ridiculous! I'm glad I went with the more reserved version in the end. The other take would have been a peaking nightmare!!! :D
I went to see this before miss Siagon ended in London and fell down six steps, towards the usher, ended up watching the whole show sitting in the grand circle with an ice pack on my leg. At least it was me memorable! 😂
+RFW Thanks, the glissando is intentional - if non conventional. I'm a lover of R&B music & often put my own style into covers. I know most people keep to the score, but I try to mix it up. I've been singing this song for years & I always look to do something a little different :)
Makes sense then! My voice teacher would've reprimanded you terribly, so I guess the purism has rubbed off on me. In any classically musical theater song, I like pitches to be sung as written, especially in the opening phrase of a lyric, just to not confuse the audience into thinking I didn't have the pitch ready in my head and had to "glide" into it :)
I wish I had made it to see it before it closed :L I love musicals but am unfamiliar with this song *shames... but it's moving stuff. Well done for the time and energy you've put in to rehearsing this. :)
Ok Sobbing like a baby now. I just heard you sing my favourite musical theatre tune. This is amazing ? Do you still sing ? The vibrato and crooning in your voice is realy amazing ! Would be great if you could share other songs !
Hello Gary, I hope all is well with you. I just listened to your cover of "Why God Why" and absolutely loved it! Very impressive performance. I want to ask, why did you choose to do this particular song?
+Louis Riehm Thanks Louis. I chose it because I'm feeling frustrated with my mental health at the moment. I'm in a bad place and thought it was time to harness it. I had to stop the first take because I broke down halfway through. It was a lot!
+Gary C I can relate to what you say. Thank you for being so open and honest, every time you can express your feelings helps yourself, as well as someone else, in some way. Also, I noticed how considerate you are to answer most, if not all, comments left to you. Not many TH-camrs care to do that. Take care.
Love this musical so much! I'm an opera singer...probably have a better chance doing the opera this is based on (Madame Butterfly), but I want to play Ellen so badly!!!!!! Great job Gary :)
Gary C ,your breath control and phrasing is astounding. You become so wrapped up in the words and the feelings, that it is as if you are singing just to the one person listening to you. Well done.
It's beautiful to see how much passion and emotion you put into your singing, Gary!
+shannonheartsx thanks shannon :D
I absolutely adore this song, and when I saw this in my subscriptions, my heart jumped with excitement. You completely nailed this song, and now I think I love it even more.
+Luna Lawliet It's great! I love the musical :D
Oh my goodness Gary this is simply brilliant. The emotion in your voice brought me to tears I love it
+Eadaoin O'Keeffe aww bless ya x
I'm not crying I've just got GaryC in my eyes
Gary I love your voice so much, this is my favourite song in the show, it suits you so well! Can't wait to hear more covers from you xo
Thanks, I'm hoping to put more covers up soon! :)
This is such a bittersweet song, I haven't actually seen the show and still it gets me deeper than most from shows I've seen and loved. You do it well especially at the very end.
Thanks, it's one of my favourite shows. It's sad but I connect with it every time I sing it x
The amount of emotions your voice carries is so incredible and made my eyes teary! Such an amazing cover! :)
+Annie He thanks for watching annie, glad you liked it :D
GAHD the end of the play is so heart breaking and omg I'm so emotional now
+Molly Carolyn such a great show!
This was so lovely - the emotion was just soaring through. I love Miss Saigon, would definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it (so long as you don't mind having your heart ripped out!)
+Just a Little Bit of Twaddle I wanted to really feel it. I ended up breaking down in tears halfway through the first take!
This was beautiful! I may or may not listen to it a million more times to try and understand how someone can have such a marvelous voice. Absolutely brilliant!
+Cas Stevens thanks Cas :D
I love this musical so much!!!! Thank you Gary! Beautifully performed
+J Smith thanks so much :D
This is fantastic! Your voice captured the emotion perfectly
+Beth Moriarty It's such an emotional tune :D
This is incredible, Gary! So beautiful (and haunting). I was so happy to get to see the west end version before it closed! But this is amazing! Love you! xxx
I got to see it too, I was blown away! :)
This is my favourite song from MS and you nailed it, love the emotion in your voice.
Taking you to see this and the day we had is one of my best memories of last year 🌻
+SydneyKav Thank you! It was so strange seeing someone else sing the song. Along with 'Empty Chairs' and a few others, they feel like MY songs. I remember singing them as a teenager and it's weird going back, like visiting an old friend :D
wow Gary!!! you brought me back to when this opened in NY on Broadway... well done!!! Bravo!!
+Charles Veit Wish I'd seen that!
i haven't seen the musical/heard any of this, but it suits your voice SO well.

+Amber De Ruyt Thanks Amber, it's a great show :D
Amazing as usual Gary, I saw Miss Saigon at Bristol Hippodrome quite a few years back now, but I remember it being an incredible musical, would like to see it again xxx
+Paula Jayne I saw it in London last year, loved it!
I've got chills everywhere listening to this
+Tess Scott It's a classic song :D
Ahhh so good, this song definitely suits your voice, I saw the show back in November and now I'm obsessed with everything Miss Saigon so this was awesome Gary!

I've never seen miss siagon but this was so beautiful and so emotional. Well done Yet again!
+Hollie Atkins It really is emotional!
Wow. That was so powerful. Excuse me while I go wipe my tears... but really, I cried... and then felt like dancing... and then the tears resumed. Bravo!
I cried midway through the first take and had to start again! :)
i did the school edition of miss saigon at school two years ago, and this song is what people reference until this day. you sang it amazingly. what an absolute talent x
+kudaandthemoon It's a great tune, pleased you enjoyed it :D

This is amazing Gary!! Never seen Miss Saigon but now I might have to.
+Penguins Tutorials It's a great show, really teary though!
WOW!! Gary the emotion you had singing this was so beautiful ❤
I get so excited whenever I see a new video of yours in my subscription box! 😆 Love the cover.
+Indijana Z thanks :D
Gary this is just grand, defiantly the strongest your voice has ever been in a cover! Ah this is just so great especially towards the end!! SO GOOD!
+laurasobsession it's because this song requires me to actually sing. usually the songs sit quite low or they are for pop voices :D
Ah, well this is just fab! Would love to see more like this *nudge nudge* :P
Hopefully more coming soon :)
You are so talented, Gary! Loved this so much! xx
+Caroline Lie thank you, I'm hoping to do more covers x
Wow Gary, that was incredible you should be on the stage!! You have such a talent!!
Aww thanks Anna, I miss performing :)
+Gary C Your very Welcome 😘😘
You sing the heck out of this song. I’m in awe every time I listen to it. So masterful 😃
Thank you 🙏🏻
I'm not familiar with this musical but your voice is so well suited to this type of music Gary! The style of your voice reminds me so much of John Barrowman, you are so talented! X
+Chloe Rose Funnily enough, there is a John Barrowman version of this song! He's done a lot of musical theatre, it's what he made his name in :D x
Bravo Gary! You absolutely slayed the ending!!

+jameboyy pps. all inside-jokes aside, I genuinely do not know how tf you sang that last part it was fucking incredible!!!!
+jameboyy Thanks, haha "holding back towards the end" The other take was ridiculous! I'm glad I went with the more reserved version in the end. The other take would have been a peaking nightmare!!! :D

I went to see this before miss Siagon ended in London and fell down six steps, towards the usher, ended up watching the whole show sitting in the grand circle with an ice pack on my leg. At least it was me memorable! 😂
+Dottywho Gahh I hope you enjoyed the show!
+Gary C it was amazing! Jon Jon who played the engineer was brilliant! This cover is beautiful by the way :)
Wow. What a stunning voice
Thanks so much Karen x
good job, the only thing I'd watch out for are the scoops/glissando getting to some of the high notes (reaching the pitch of why, especially)
+RFW Thanks, the glissando is intentional - if non conventional. I'm a lover of R&B music & often put my own style into covers. I know most people keep to the score, but I try to mix it up. I've been singing this song for years & I always look to do something a little different :)

You are the real deal
+Dave J Giles an all singing, all crying diva!

+SignalsOverTheAir "carrie fletcher take" :)
