    So Hadley Fraser can harmonize perfectly after very little to no preparation yet forgets the words to a song that he's sung hundreds of times. An absolute icon :)

    • @ridzz
      @ridzz 2 ปีที่แล้ว +61

      I think it's because he didn't start off the song.. You know, sometimes there's a rhythm that we tend to follow to remember certain things. It messes the rhythm (and to recall) when suddenly he needed to start in the middle of the song. Imo I think that's the reason he couldn't recall the words to the song.

And because your vibrato (aka Ramin coined: “the shaky bits”) 😉 is just so top-notch unmatched perfection. + you’ve both lungs for days. 😧🤭😳😍

    Props to the pianist. (S)he is clearly trailing back and supporting the vocal decisions. It is just a beat of rubato back behind the harmony here but neveretheless enforcing a disciplined yet dramatic march tempo. The vocals are beyond but just a wee shout out to what is clearly a tri-et here. You can here it at the top of the harmony especially when the emphasis chord comes in. Chilllllllls

And he's said before that the showrunners or whoever don't think he has the voice to play Jean Valjean (which, seriously???) Listen to him as Grantaire in the 25th Anniversary of Les Mis.

    Empty chairs at empty tables,
    Now my friends are dead and gone.
    Here they talked of revolution,
    Here it was they lit the flame,
    Here they sang about tomorrow and tomorrow never came.
    From the table in the corner,
    They could see a world reborn,
    And they rose with voices ringing,
    And I can hear them now
    The very words that they have sung
    Became their last communion
    On this lonely barricade, at dawn.
    Oh my friends, my friends forgive me
    That I live and you are gone
    There's a grief that can't be spoken,
    And there's a pain goes on and on
    Phantom faces at the window,
    Phantom shadows on the floor,
    Empty chairs at empty tables where my friends will meet no more.
