    Javert: Valjean, at last, we see each other plain...
    Valjean: Oh my god Javert WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS

    I always come back to this version because I just can't get over the way Alfie Boe yells "I am WARNING YOU JAVERT"
    It's so powerful and has such a righteous, furious edge to it. I see all sides to Valjean here.
    (Also, Norm Lewis's "NO!" is incredible. There's such a dynamic to these two)

      Adam Uhrynuk Different energy...This one sounds like he will rip your head right off it's spine. Quast (who I looove), is a more quiet intensity. Both brilliant, for sure! :)

    I like the way that Valjean finishes all of his verses first at 0:50. Showing that he is much less calm about the situation than Javert.

    Just think, if Javert had decided to take Valjon up on his offer and get cosette a good home then return to prison then we might have had a 'buddy movie' sort of story.

    I think Valjean's part is easier to sing than Javert's. Valjean's voice is projected over Javert's voice and is more consistent in pace and note pattern.

    This is my favorite version of the confrontation, their voices just go so well together. The timing, rythm and melody is just perfect! For example, when they both say JAVERT! at the same time, at 1:21 .

    French Version:
    Javert: Valjean, at last
    Your sentence you will serve,
    Monsieur le Maire,
    You'll wear the chain you deserve.
    Valjean: Before you say another word, Javert,
    Before you chain me up like a slave again,
    Listen to me! There is a favor I must do.
    This woman leaves behind a suffering child,
    I have promised to help her,
    In heaven's name, three days are all I need.
    Then I'll return, you have my word!
    Then I'll return.
    Javert: Your words of a convict!
    I've hunted you across the years.
    Men like you cannot change.
    You can never change.
    Valjean: Believe of me what you will,
    There is a duty I must do,
    You know nothing of my life,
    All I did was steal some bread.
    You know nothing of the world,
    It is not all black and white.
    I will see my duty done.
    I am warning you, Javert,
    I am stronger than you by far,
    I know what I must do,
    If you will oppose me.
    I am warning you Javert,
    If I have to kill you,
    I will see my duty to the end,
    Nothing will stop me.
    Javert: Men like me can never change.
    Any more than men like you,
    No, 24601,
    My duty's to the law!
    You have no rights,
    You are under arrest, 24601,
    Now your luck has turned around,
    Jean Valjean is lost and found!
    Dare you talk to me of crime
    And the price you had to pay,
    Every man must choose his way,
    Every man is born in sin.
    You know nothing of Javert.
    I was born inside a cell,
    I was raised with scum like you,
    I was surrounded by outlaws too.
    Valjean: And this I swear by all I hold dear.
    Javert: You will not escape me again.
    Valjean: Cosette will soon have a father
    Javert: Wherever you hide, I will find you.
    Valjean: And she will want for nothing at all.
    Both: I swear to you, I will be there!

    My Version Of The Confrontation Scene Song Fom Les Miserables ( 2012 ) By Me And Voldemort
    ( Timothy Beech )
    Voldemort, at last,
    I’ve got you cornered now
    “ Thomas Riddle ”
    You'll wear a different name
    ( Voldemort )
    Before you say another word, Master Beech
    Before you and your friends foil my plans again
    Listen to me! there is something I must do
    Mrs Malfoy leaves behind a suffering child
    There is none, but me who can intercede
    In mercy's name, three days are all I need
    Then I'll return, I pledge my word
    Then I'll return
    ( Timothy Beech)
    You must think me mad
    We've hunted you across the years
    Men like you can never change
    A man such as you.
    ( Voldemort ) With My Lines In The Brackets
    Believe of me what you will (men like you can never change)
    There is a duty that I'm sworn to do (you are evil as all hell )
    You know nothing of my life (no, he who must not be named )
    All I did was make some horcruxes (my duty's to all my friends)
    You know nothing of my ways (you have no rights)
    You would sooner see me fail (come with me Dark Lord Voldemort )
    But not before I see this justice done (now the wheel has turned around Voldemort is nothing now)
    I am warning you Master Beech (how dare you talk to me like that)
    I'm a stronger man by far (I'm the bravest member of my gang)
    There is power in me yet (people like you are born in sin)
    My race is not yet run ( me and my friends will win the day)
    ( Timothy Beech )
    You know nothing of Harry
    He was raised by cruel people
    He was raised by scum like you
    all because you killed his mum and dad
