      Do you know the difference between chest voice and head voice? Head voice =/= falsetto. Right before he hits that last note, he is in chest voice. For the last note, he transitions into a head voice.

    • @lexarodriguez694
      @lexarodriguez694 9 ปีที่แล้ว +274

      Vihzel its something called mixed voice a blend of chest and head to make a more higher belt or chest sound if it was head voice it would sound more pure and obviously heady but u can tell it had edge and chest in it so it is mixed voice because the average male can't reach chest voice alone that high ☺

    But I know where I've been
    There's a cry in the distance
    It's a voice that comes from deep within
    There's a cry asking why, I pray the answer's up ahead, yeah
    'Cause I know where I've been
    There's a road we've been travelin'
    Lost so many on the way
    But the riches will be plenty
    Worth the price, the price we had to pay
    There's a dream in the future
    There's a struggle that we have yet to win
    And there's pride in my heart
    'Cause I know where I'm going, yes I do
    And I know where I've been, yeah
    There's a road we must travel
    There's a promise we must make
    Oh, but the riches, the riches will be plenty
    Worth the risks and the chances that we take
    There's a dream, yeah, in the future
    There's a struggle that we have yet to win
    Use that pride in our hearts to lift us up to tomorrow
    'Cause just to sit still would be a sin

    Holy shit. I have the chills from this performance. Absolutely incredible. I am thrilled that these performances are popping up on TH-cam for me to enjoy. Alex has come a long way since this performance. Tony winner in 2023 for Shucked! And oh how deserved it is.

    OMGG I'm ashamed to say I did not know who Alex was, and came here on the back of a suggestion on Queen Latifa's comments section. This is by far and away my most favorite track from Hairspray, and Alex absolutely nailed it 100%.

    It’s not just the note. It is the lead up. He sustained that whole phrase, added growls, and then ended on a sustained A5
