  • Yeah because the producers would put Nick on if they didn't think he was good enough. And you guys are? Haters gonna hate.

  • It´s not Nick Jonas... i think

  • @nickjonaslvrxoxo baaahaahahahahahah ahhhh your credibility was killed so many times in that statement. first, youre clearly biased because you username is nick jonas lover. second, you think samantha barks is british. third, samantha barks is literally TEN TIMES the musical theatre performer nick jonas is. he was absolutely TERRIBLE!!! just go watch 25th anniversary concert. he is such a joke!!

  • Forget Nick Jonas, who was good but is all anyone ever talks about. Simon Bowman and Killian Donnelly for the win!

  • Nick Jonas seems like he has a good little voice on him and that if he had some intensive training he could be up to standard. But hearing him with all these amazing singers just shows up the weakness in his voice at the minute. His voice is too pop star. Which is fine, cos thats what he is.... But I just wish they had let someone else play Marius in the 25th Anniversary concert. I think he was the weak link...

  • i love one day more

  • I think Nick was really good honestly,, the only person I didn't like in this version was Samantha Barks. She tried to hard to do the british accent, and her voice is just to harsh for the part, I'm not saying that she's a bad singer, because she's very talented, She just isn't right for Les Miserables.

  • @nickjonaslvrxoxo Erm, you do know that Samantha Barks is british don't you???

  • @Cuppus94 Yes. That's not what I meant and I'm not bashing her because she's very talented.. what I'm saying is that she "over-pronounced" word's I guess. If you look at past version's of the play, they were much softer with their words and she's pretty harsh with how she say's them.

  • I saw this very same performance and it was breath-taking - samantha barks was amazing <3

  • im gonna ask mr macintosh if i can play marius instead of jonas. i cant let this blasphemy continue much longer!

  • Here's a comment on the fantastic Killian! I saw him and some of this cast in London in September - it was so good the first time, I went back a few days later for more. Killian was an absolute knock-out, wonderful strong voice and stage presence, and he has a wonderful future in front of him. Only wish I could have seen him earlier in the year playing Valjean and Javert too! Jonathan Williams as Valjean was also fantastic - glad I saw him both nights instead of Simon Bowman.

  • its lower than usual isnt it?

  • samantha banks sounds amazing!

  • How come no one comments on the fantastic Killian? He was awesome :)

  • @yellowsunflowers8 SPREAD THE LOVE FOR KILLIAN 8D

  • um why are people saying nick jonas was good? He sounds like a very weak goat, you should listen to Simon Bowman as Marius or Michael Ball

  • nick's voice  sounds.. INCREDIBLE

  • I listen to this when I'm sad and then I remember how good Nick did when I went and saw him. I love this.

  • when did you film this? i was there in early july, and then another guy was playing javert x

  • @xLoveStoryxD probably Norm Lewis?

  • @Monkeyballmania yeah. I knew that. and i know that now, but i didn't remember it whilewriting my comment x

  • Wow. Nick blows me away!

  • everyone's excellent, but i still cannot believe nick jonas' voice . not sayin he's the best, but his opera voice's amazing

  • Holy crap, Simon Bowman is Valjean? I still see him as Chris! He seems too young to be Valjean!! Really good cast, though.

  • Samantha Barks sounds like she's trying to be dramatic but it comes off as a bit overdone. 

  • @MrFidcast hmmm , i dont know , i kinda like her. her voice's really sweet

  • Bowman will always be my Chris, so it's kinda weird hearing him as Valjean. Samantha kinda sounds like Rosalind from the 25th Anniversary Tour, but she's pretty good. Camilla is ok. Nick surprised. Killian Donnelly was amazing. Probably the only one who really really surprised me.

  • EVERYBODY SOUNDS SO GOOD! WANT TO SEE IT SOOOOO BAAAAD!!!!!

  • My baby boy. Little Nicky. <3 I LOVE YOU NICKY <3 He's so handsome, and mine.

  • @mileycyrusfan310 creepy...

  • Holy shit is that Nick Jonas singing at about 30 seconds he sounds great.

  • I'm not liking the lowness of this. I prefer Nick to Alistair Brammer, I was slightly horrified when I heard he was going to be playing Marius, but fair play he's doing a good job :) Killian sounds fantastic, I'm glad he's been promoted. The sooner Simon Bowman and Hans Peter Janssens leave, the better !!

  • im going to see this next friday!! im so freaking excited!!!

  • is the voice at the beginning his too?

  • @trumoonsha2 nick starts singing aroung :30

  • OMG I'm SO proud of him!

  • Nick has way to weak of a voice in this. During when Emjorlas and Marius are going back and forth he sounds like a small little boy. He needs to grow up before he could play this role. Great Potential though just needs to really work on his voice before he could play it well

  • I was in my school performance of Les Mis and it is my favorite broadway musical....and when i heard Nick was going to play Marius i was thrilled! I thought it was going to be in NYC......which got me excited cause i'm like an hour away from there...but it was in london and that mad me sad...lol but he sounds like he did amazing :)

  • I saw Les Miserables today and it was AMAZING!! Nick Jonas was so much better than I thought he would be...he was actually pretty amazing tbh :D

  • id love to see this with lea mechele playing eponine

  • To be honest, when I found out Nick Jonas was playing Marius I was pretty annoyed. I mean, he hasn't proven he has any talent playing with The Jonas Brothers. And he lost any respect I had when I heard his comment on Bob Dylan. But after listening to this...he did better than I thought he would. He's definitely the most talented out of his brothers. But I'm still not a fan of him playing Marius. He needs to work on his emotion and being able to hold the notes. Other than that, he seems okay.

  • @VivaLasViolence13 he did'nt diss anyone it was a joke

  • @MsMichelle103 I highly doubt it was a joke, and if it was, it was a terrible joke. I saw the interview...and he seemed pretty serious on what he said. Which what he said was a ridiculous thing to say, because Bob Dylan has lasted longer than The Jonas Brothers ever will.

  • I Love this Musical, I LOVE nick Jonas and I Really Want to see this, But i live too far away.

    This song is my fav of the whole show :)

    I want to play Eponine :)

  • Jonas has potential to better himself. How was Lea Salonga as Fantine?

  • @MrFidcast amazing :)

  • @MrFidcast is she fantine in this preformance because i heard she was doing it but that was a while ago

  • @NinjaHaberdash

    I'm not really sure but I don't think she was.

  • @NinjaHaberdash Lea Salonga is playing Fantine at the concert. There's a big difference between the concert at the O2 concert in October and the original production that's playing in the West End. The current Fantine is Rebecca Seale.

  • @LegsandJump the production i was thinking of was a 2007 broadway version in which she played fantine

  • Sam's voice in this is sooooo powerful!! I knew she was amazing anyway but on Weds she completely blew me away!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • aw i think he sounds really good. he doesnt sound as whiny as usual.

  • the*

  • I honestly don't even think Nick did as bad as some people are making it out to be. People are over reacting because he's a JONAS and got cast in Les Mis. I agree that his voice could use a little more work on but it's not THAT bad. Also we're only listening to some crappy audio of him. He could sound much better at thr actual theatre. And I heard he's been getting some good reviews anyways.

  • The contrast between Killian Donnelly and Nick Jonas is staggering, why has Jonas been cast for a bloody concert when he's completely outsung? Not sure how I feel about Samantha Barks, let's wait and see how that goes...

  • @LegsandJump Honestly, you sound pretty biased here. Think about it, Nick is only 17, he hasn't been in a musical in I think 7 years, and this was his first night. He was probably a nervous wreck. He's just a kid. And frankly, I think he sounds great. I was expecting anything like this. Listen to him singing "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables". I was shocked.

    I do agree about Samantha. Right now, I'm just not loving her. She seems to shout... It's rather unappealing if you ask me.

  • @lesmisgirl90 I know he's young and I know he's nervous. I'm not blaming him! The problem is that at the concert, he is still going to be young, and given that it is the 25th Anniversary Concert of Les Mis at the 02 Arena, he better be nervous. And his voice just isn't trained enough. It's not his fault, but he can't hold his own against many of the cast. Therefore, it seems nonsensical to cast him for a concert. A concert is primarily about singing. That has nothing to do with bias.

  • @LegsandJump I see what you're saying, and I think his main problem is holding notes, which only takes practice. Hopefully by the time the concert comes around in October (?), he'll have improved on that. I apologize, your first comment did sound a little biased to me. But I do understand what you're saying though, but given that it's only June, he does have some time to improve his voice stamina before the concert. Personally, I'm not going to judge before I hear how he is in a few months.

  • @LegsandJump look at it from the perspective of who was going to sell tickets. he may not be the best but putting him in the concert brought in a whole new group of ppl to see les mis

  • holy mother.

    this is amazing. honestly, nick should have stuck with theatre.

    such an incredible talent, and so well expressed in a theater rather than with a band. i hope he does more shows like this:)

  • @ImRoxFarjat Shot? What the fuck is your problem?

  • i had no idea when he was singing! i had to look through the comments to see that he starts singing around :027 im impressed! its very hard to be able to do musical singing!

  • I'm no Jonas Brothers fan, but Nick does a really good job as does Camilla. Killian is a great Enjolras .. but sorry, Sam Barkes is pretty bad .. she's way too aggressive and her diction "clipped" .. listened to her "Little Fall Of Rain" and she sounded like she was telling Marius off rather than dying .. but perhaps she'll improve into the role

  • @karendiamond it may sound like that on here,but her voice filled the theatre and she was awesome.... go see it if you can!!

  • @karendiamond Sam was sooo amazing!! Blew me away!! You have to see the show to fully appreciate it, this video and the other ones just do not do her justice!

  • And I just noticed I said "though" two setences in a row. Ew. :p

  • This isn't the best song Nick sang. He wasn't able to hold a lot of the notes long enough. His Empty Chairs at Empty Tables performance was surprisingly good though. He needs to work on his parts in One Day More a little bit more though.

  • @MsMandaPanda101 he needs to get shot before the next performance....

  • I think we need to get Jon Robyns back. And Thaxton, but that goes without saying.

  • Anyone saying they do not like the rest of the cast: I'd like to hear you sing these notes in full belt like these women are doing. They are all doing a phenomenal job.

    As for Nick, he isn't that great.

  • @aceibs I totally agree. But also i think most people have never heard nick sing like this before so they're kind of in shock. lol

  • @prettyprincess1307 he's still doing some pop stuff at the end of some notes, he's sometimes off tune when he sings with both Cosette and Enjolras... On the positive side I can say I thought it would me much worse...

  • Amazing! I love this song! Nick sounds great!

  • @itsalovestory002 I agree. I love how he sounds on this song=)

  • Can anyone tell me who plays Gavroche in this cast?

  • Wish I couldve been in England to see this. Nick is exceeding my expectations of him and as a longtime Jonas fan, I couldn't be any prouder to call myself one. Nick, as well as his brothers, is amazing. I hope the show will come to the USA (ESP NYC xD) so I can see Nick as Marius. That would make my life(=

  • @JonasBrothers754 the song's "Look Down" or "The Robbery" I can't tell because that part's like right in the middle of the two lol

  • Wow this song is really beautiful, love Nick's voice!!!

  • @musiclover4964 No, its not this song, I'm not sure what song it is cuz it's a short clip, but it's concrete proof that it is him=)

  • I'm quite impressed with Nick Jonas. I didn't expect him to sound anything like this. But I don't much care for this Eponine. Do you have any songs with Gavroche?

  • @lesmisgirl90 I agree! Nick is blowing all of my expectations away. A little more enunciations, though?

    Anyway, Eponine is slightly grating. We know you're upset! You don't need to shout. Grief, personally, Eponine's grief would be much more powerful imo if she was more subdued.

  • @cocokiss457 Maybe a tad...

    I agree about Eponine. Her voice isn't that fantastic and she is too emotional. And you're right, she does shout a little! Personally, I loved Diana Kaarina and Lea Salonga as Eponine, and this one just doesn't do it for me...

  • @JonasBrothers754 is this the song he is singing in the video on e news??

  • He comes in around 30. This is Nick, e news online just put up a VIDEO clip showing him singing. Go check the website. Everyone needs to understand that he s playing a character,it's going to sound different. This play was set in a completely different time period, and this style of singing is COMPLETELY different from pop music. He's going to sound like his character Marius from Les Miserables, not Nick Jonas from the Jonas Brothers.

  • @JonasBrothers754 i personally think he sounds better here haha i love this :)

  • He did absolutely amazing. His voice was excellent. I actually like it better like this.

    The girl did very good also:)

  • nick!!!! im crying shaking smiling with gums! :'D

  • Killian's Enjolras is FANTASTIC =3

  • omg, I think I'm going to cry. Nick is so good, I cant recognize his voice, but I know it's him because I know Marius's part.

  • I'm sooo surprised at his performance. I am a big Jonas Brothers fan and a big Les Mis fan... and I was worried about this... BUT GREAT JOB NICK! :)

  • @bluec1212 I know me too his so good

  • is the little boy in the picture the character Nick used to play when he was younger?

  • @tiSoCOOL9 yep, he played Gavroche

  • @tiSoCOOL9 Gavroche, yes.

  • ohmygosh, this is incredible.

    nick, just.. you're awesome, haha.

  • OMG i wanna cry he's amazing!!!

    Nick is growing up like an artist and like a man!

    i'm sooooooo proud of him!!!

  • OMJ, I'm so proud !!! I'm speechess, he's amazing<3<3<3

  • I feel like a proud parent :') :P x

  • @LilMissJennie

    Haha, so do I, and he's older than me XD

  • I know some of this is him, and he sounds amazing, but is it him at 2:37? Anyone know?

  • @Bubble1308 no, that's valijean (:

  • @sportssweetie312 i thought it probably was haha

  • @Bubble1308 haha yeah, i just looked up the lyrics to see who it was. i can see why you would think it couldd be him :P

  • Oh, his A flat is wonderful. He's very good!

  • Guys, I was there last night. This IS Nick (from 29 seconds)! I know it doesnt sound like his usual voice but its theatre, they sing differently. Completely blew me away! Probably the best I've ever heard him sing!! SO proud of what he achieved onstage last night!

  • WOW !

  • it sounds like Nick at :30
