  • Meh. Not as good as Adam.

  • I loved it until the high A flat

  • Will Chase is BETTER!! 

  • I feel sorry for anyone who tries to sing this song...I've heard AMAZING version, but nobody beats Adam Pascal.

  • i think hes better then adam ... just me i guess lol

  • he is better than adam

  • @TheMIA2LA you're high. Adam Pascal IS roger. his vocals and his acting just ARE roger. this guy just kind of seems like an imitation of Pascal. theres a reason we saw him in the movie and on broadway, its because hes the best roger.

  • Heinz is deffinitely better then Pascal, pascals techniques are garbage making him loss his voice which is why he has had to cancel some of his shows. Heinzs had a good technique an tone. Only reason you all like Pascal more is becuase you loved him an the movie an broadway.

  • @TheMIA2LA I don't know what you've seen, but Adam Pascal is the orginal and BEST Roger. No one can do better than him.

  • "One song beyond the cheap colored lights" *pan to lights. facepalm*

  • I hear.. Adam..

  • Too poppy and hes trying to please the audience more than performing the song and character.

  • The intro sound track reminds me of an rapp song, who is about a black dude riding bike and died, and his friend is rapping about him, help me with the song name pls..

  • will chase is the best roger ever!

  • Great but nothing on Adam. Pascal OWNS this.

  • he looks abit too "good" to be real roger i think, Roger and mark is almost living on the street and they are poor. that guy looks completly healthy and a "ricH" round face. but he sings good :)

  • ou maat laat loop met daai song

  • yaaaaay! he's really good (and this is my fav song so i don't say that lightly). roger's voice is grittier but i can see the emotion (ooooh shivers) XD

  • Why is it all the other ppl who try this song.. Have most their veins bout to explode?..

  • Honestly, he sings the verses incredibly well, but you can tell when he sings the chorus, it's like it's almost out of his range. He tries to mask it with vibrato but he hits several wrong notes in there.

  • this guy can sing

  • flat at times... but very talented.

  • he doesn't have the power in his voice like adam does. you can tell he feels it and he's good, don't get me wrong, but adam is roger.

  • he seems to be very mad...

  • wowww amazzzzzing! best I've heard! ((:

  • Speech level singing--a lot sung through the mask (upper facial resonators, including nasal and retaining the sound through the soft palate), which, as others have stated, robs it of the guttural quality the song requires. Technically perfect, but the role of Roger shouldn't be. In the original auditions for the role, they wanted someone rough and raw--someone with their own established style.

    Heinz is very good, but he's not connected to the role in this presentation.

  • when i saw him as roger...he forgot the words to another day...he just paced and grunted...and then mimi sang...and then he sang the wrong verse...

  • A lot of talent and great voice, but he hasn't found his 'own' roger. It seems like he is just trying to imitate Pascal.

  • @smorgond i completely agree

  • his arms are amazing

  • HE IS SUCH A GOOD SINGER!!!!!!!!!! t

  • To be fair he's quite good and soooooooooooooo hot

  • SO HOT!

  • adam is the best roger... this guy is ok but no one can take adams place

  • This guy is FANTASTIC! Seriously impressive! He really reminds me of Will Chase.

  • this is really good :) he's so hot

  • his first high A isn't good, and he forces vibrato throughout the song. his second high A is decent.

  • He's stretching his larynx the wrong way to reach those higher notes. Not good for you.

  • @kgunby way to get technical. lol

  • GREAT version!!

  • this was rlly good, but his voice isnt rough enough for this song/part...his voice is too pretty

  • I saw him when he came to Calgary with Rent and he was FANTASTIC!

  • whoever said he sounds just like Adam Pascal needs to check their ears, this guy is off key in some minor parts, and sounds NOTHING like Adam. Adam Pascal is the TRUE Roger and as many times and forms as I've heard this song, Adam is the best and only.

  • This performance is stunning

  • Adam Pascal does this good, and I'm gonna go ahead and say that Heinz does it just as good if not even better. He has an astonishing voice. And I've heard this song a lot of times =)

  • wow holy shit, I am truly impressed great

  • His voice is great! But I am so used to Adam pascal that nobody else does it for me. This guy does NOT look like the true Roger.

  • No body sings this song better than Adam Pascal, I've heard Adam live and it was effortless and beautiful.

  • Holy shit that was awesome!!!! You sound just like Adam Pascal! Keep it up.

  • This is by far the best singer from south african idols. 

  • awesome song

  • damn he won idol in south africa?....must be some pretty fucked up singers in africa lol

  • Wow! He does a fantastic job with this song!

  • WOW,  who could dislike this?!

  • This is the Roger I saw when I saw the tour. He was great. :)

  • They say pain, sadness, and crying as suppose to be ugly in expression when your acting. This guy is very convincing that he absorbs himself in the lyrics.

  • umm grits his teeth a lot, most of the song he is seemingly talking rather than singing. Has a very good expression of emotional strain. He doesn't have Adam Pascal's character vocals that has defined the song and character. I like him but he reminds me of karaoke.

  • @norunaround there was not one moment in the entire video where he seemed to "talk sing" he sang all of it and unlike Adam he doesn't sound like he is straining to sing this song, he sounds comfortable, Adam almost always sounds like his voice is in physical pain cuz it's too hard to sing, i love adam pascal but as a vocalist in general this guy far surpasses Adam...

  • very nice! love it!

  • This guy need to use his frikin head voice and not his chest voice!!!!

  • @SimplySonu94

    I agree.

  • He's very good, but he's a little too polished for my taste. While there's nothing "wrong" with a polished interpretation of the character, I like my Rogers with a bit of a raw quality vocally.

  • so good :) he was my Roger in the show that i saw. phenomenal.

  • This guy has a great voice and sang this song very well. He just lacks the amount of passion that you get from Adam Pascal. Great rendition though.

  • this guy is good but he's no adam pascal!

  • you can tell he cracks pretty good at that last high GLORY when he busts it out right away. Adam voice, deff a better fit with a perfect grangy voice. but i very much enjoyed this, he's good.

  • HE has a prettier voice but this sonq was meant fot pascals grudqy hard voicee.

  • I actually like this guy's voice better than Pascal's.

  • He was on the touring company that came to Canada and i saw him and he was awesome!

  • I liked this video a lot. I like how he shows emotion without overdoing it. I just find it really obnoxious when singers overdo their emotions so much. It's like they're trying so hard to be the center of attention instead of actually singing the song. A lot of singers need to learn from Heinz that sometimes "less" is "more".

  • Very good!!

  • If it's true that he was the first winner of South Africa's version od American Idol, I have to say he's better than most AI winners have been.

  • Actually I didn't like this at all. I LOVE Adam's version because it's so honest and amazing. Adams voice is more raw and powerful, and as you say, you can tell that this guy hasn't got half of what Adam has...

  • Excellent song, great vocals ... :))

  • this guy has a really good voice but like you said he doesn't have thatpassion/ grit to his voice that this song commands

  • Yeah, I agree with the people who say that he doesn't have that "raw" tone. Like raspy - or rockish or whatever. I just think that suits it better. But this guy has a good voice...

  • He's good, but if you compare it to an Adam Pascal version, you can hear he's not a professional singer.

  • Actually, he is a professional singer with a few CDs to his name. I had the chance to see him perform Roger at the Wolf Trapp Theatre outside of DC - amazing, performance, voice and cast for that show.

  • but he is not a person who went to university to study singing.

  • @ebola0029 From this video it does not look like he is a professional singer with proper singing technique. You can see his chin doing most of the work and the veins in his neck bulging out. Maybe you have seen him after a few lessons but he looks very untrained. If he does has proper technique and is singing with it in this song then he should realize that maybe this part was meant for a true tenor like adam pascal. Good singer though.

  • @zyx1236 that's not it. the reason this version sounds a bit off is because of what some people have noticed; Adam pascal's voice was more of a rock voice like bo bice. this song demands a voice like that for it's full potential to be met. Heinz is still an amazing singer, his voice just isn't fit for this paerticular song.

  • his tone was amazing,

    but-- i feel like it was supposed to be raw..

  • adam n heinz r d best!!!!!!! ^_^

  • of all the vids ive seen of this song, he sings it the best just an amazing performance

  • He doesn't that the raw sound the others' have (especiially adam pascal) but his voice is pretty nice. He definitely deserved the win. Late 'gratz to him.

  • love this song to dath

  • @vidtani

    The guy in the movie is Adam Pascal

  • do you know what the instrument is on the background beat to this song?

    i like it

  • i gotta say i listend to the adam guys version and didnt really think it was better... i think this guy does this song better then adam and they guy in the movie fer sure ....

  • i love this version, i'm auditioning for razia's shadow with this.

  • adam pascal's better this guys really good though definitly worth listening too rather than those other guys

  • Fell in love with this song ... :)

  • i dont like this version

    all others are way better

  • This is one of the very best versions of the song, ever.

  • Omg I live that guy

  • wow, that's good.

  • this is random but every time i hear this song i think of saske from narouto

  • after listening to the lyrics and reading your comment...It really reminds me of sasuke too, lol!

  • Will Chase is the best of any version I've seen. Adam Pascal is the original and very good but not a patch on Will

  • Will and Adam are the best that I have seen,personally, because I have seen them both in person. But, he sounds okay. Better than some.

  • @nivekyarb Will Chase is good, but not the powerhouse that Adam is.

  • I like Adam Pascal better

  • his tone is very good very talented Musical Thearte voice!!

    Awsome

  • Dude, Why are you red?

    You're trying way to hard!! Breath!!!!

    and by the way, Roger is suppose to have a "rocker" voice quality, this guy don't.

  • he doesnt have to have the rocker quality to sound good.

  • admitted, good voice though!

  • after adam, he's my fave.

  • He's like one of the best people who sing this song. Total amazing-ness

  • his voice is great!!

  • take it from someone who has heard this song a thousand times by tons of different Rogers, this guy has talent.. i've heard people butcher this song, and this guy is in the top 5 Rogers i've heard, seriously he won South African Idol, give him some credit!!!

  • out of curiosity, who sings your favorite version. personally, I like Will Chase's version the best.

  • @BiscuitsJoe i would have to say it's a tie between Will Chase and Adam Pascal

  • awesome.. this guy has talent. and i love this song

  • I think you're forgetting that no one is perfect and it can be a hard challenge to sing and act at the same time....Give the guy a break. He's really good.

  • your wrong.. singing a song is about musicaly telling a story

  • Seems to me that you should appreciate a singers voice, not their acting... that's why they're SINGERS... but hey, I could be wrong.

  • He's a good singer! Who cares about the acting...?! So shush :)

  • hrryzdlr - this song doesnt take place in a chorus line u dumbass.

  • its too sing songy.... it needs to be more raw... but his voice is good

  • i saw him in WORLD Idol, i believed he finished 4th there... Kelly Clarkson was second... the winner was the Norwegian Idol... Kurt something...

  • Good, I think it was awesome. I bet these losers below me couldn't sing as good as him.

  • He's a good singer but he's acting's quite...bad.

  • lovely

    but wouldn't stand out in a chorus line tbh

  • Vocally, Heinz was a good Roger but his acting was pretty bad.

  • then how could he be a good Roger if his acting was bad?

  • he is amazing. but not better than adam

  • How can you even say that... I am not real familiar with either vocalist but as a vocalist myself I can tell you that this guy is every bit as good of a singer as Adam is... now whether or not you find his tone appealing is totally new topic. :P

  • damn he good

  • i love how his face is all fuckin red. lolz. RENT ROCKZ!

  • Well mine would be too haha.

  • oh my god. that was so good. i love this guy.

  • I met him once and he is so amazing!!! He was great playing Roger in the national tour of Rent.

  • jesus he's pretty ^_^ haha love this

  • This is the first time I listen to a version of One Song Glory other than Adam Pascal's, and Heinz beautifully sang it!

    I saw Adam Pascal on Broadway and Heinz did an incredible job!

    CONGRATS!

    HUGS, FROM MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY, SOUTH AMERICA :-)

  • He was the first Roger that I saw live and I have to say that he was very good. I didn't care much for the cast that I saw then, but he was definately one of the best.

  • Heinz is excellent, and very sexy too!

  • he is singing that song with an opera voice...

    Roger's voice is supposed to rock'a like

  • i wouldnt say its opera but i would say its not raspy or "rocky" enough

  • he is indeed a wanlker

  • i hate how he acts it

  • So flat at 1:35.

  • I don't think that he's flat, I think he just dropped the note lower to something easier to sing. Which is normal in most shows.

  • no, he's literally under pitch for a good number of his sustained pitches - it's not a matter of his note choices. it's just poor intonation.

  • So True..

  • he's really good! i like the emotion that he puts into the song. but adam will always be the best roger :)

  • totally agree, i hear heinz, and Will Chase, they are good, but Roger is the best

  • this dude rocks he very good but no where as good as adam

  • He actually brings emotion into the song, and he sounds pretty damn good too. The only thing I didn't like was the "time dies" note, but everything else was amazing.

  • he's my fav rodger evr he's soooooooooooo hot and his voice is amaizing :D

  • He was one of the better Roger's that I've seen, but after watching Adam Pascal in the role this spring, he will always be my favorite Roger. Hands down.

  • He's just under the note a lot of the time.. just slightly flat.

  • He's really good but Adam's voice is more rough and better for the part in my opinion.

  • i agree!! he has a really good voice but i prefer adam pascal

  • wow youre an idiot

  • dang he is good

  • hes a bit pitchy sometimes. its kinda like nails on a chalkboard. hes flat alot. hes not attacking the note from the top.

  • i saw both heinz and adam pascal in rent, and i have to say they were both amazing! heinz was great, but of course no one's better than adam!

  • Second the motion O,o Adam Pascal Rlz, maybe it's 'cuz my girlfriend, show, to me first Adam Pascal Performance, and i've head another 2, this guy, and Rubin O,o but i love Adam Voice, 'cuz he fits the role, the voice sounds of a former rock star.

  • Damn he's fine.

  • okay i lvoe it i mean with other guys trying to sing rogers part they arnt that good. and well he dise have a pop sound to his voice and roger has like a rock and roll kinda thing going on but i mean i lvoe it and i would pay to watch him play roger. but then again it also depends on how he can sing the other songs roger songs but i still love it

  • his voice isn't fit for roger it's too pop and roger has this thing in his voice that makes it like rock and it's amazing ADAM PASCAL<3

  • i loved will will chase!!!! i think hes one of the best rogers ever!!!! his voice is just like OMG!!!!!!

  • Accompanying music is very good too.

  • This guy is really good! :) but his name reminds of the ketchup.. I'm sry, but it does!

  • i watched the mussical "Cehss" last night na dhe was on it...it was AWESOME!! as well, Josh Groban and Idina Menzel performed too.

  • this is my first time ever hearing him sing, and i must say he's very talented!

  • Heinz Winckler is FANTASTIC...he makes a great Roger hope he continues his singing career with great success...God be with you HEINZ....hope to see more of you within the song charts...

  • He's good, but he controls his voice too much to be a Roger.
