Fantastic tell zach to keep singing for the rest of his life, he has great tone and is the only great cover i have found of this song, just a little constructive critisizm, my choir director always tells me space and breath deap, as long as you take low deap breaths and keep the space in your mouth open those high notes are going to sound full and supported. Great job! keep it up! ;)
I noticed the notes were off but then again roger is older, i like how he added his own flavor to the song, all and all very good and i hope he continues on
@JesseWadeTaylor He is doing well. In remission since Jan. 07. Continues his singing and acting at NYU Tish School of the Arts - 2nd year. Also with N'Harmonics - NYU A Capella group. Thanks for your comment.
Great performance. However, I'm not sure if it's just YouTube, but I hear a nazal-ish tone to his high notes. Other than that, and being a little flat at 0:27 on "Find" it was an amazing vocal.
it might have been better if when singing, you weren't so cheerful mainly because the topic you are singing about is a bit depressing so having a smile up there the entire time may look good but it looks like you are just singing and not INTO it.
@chowfanRulez i gotta agree with him, if you do ever do this song again remember that its a really depressed kinda song. but otherwise awesome job bro.
@mikerodelo agree completely, thats my one criticism is that this song is about dying from AIDs and Roger's need to write one song before "the virus takes hold" so smiling during this song takes away from the "sincerity" points as Simon Cowell would say, if you sing a song like this you have to get into and put emotions in it.
@lacrossepl9 He is not smiling when he is singing this part. He is showing his teeth, but not smiling. There is no emotion of being happy. He know what this song is saying and by no means is happy.
@theinfant2 I am by no means putting him down this is by far the best version of Glory I have ever heard and thats telling the truth. I was just in RENT at the CT Caberet Theatre and I've heard this song done a hundred times and for a high school student this is unbelievably amazing, he does smile a little bit but who wouldn't he's at a talent show where the crowd is going wild, I'd smile to, if he had done it during the actual musical however then id see a problem, but not at a talent show.
@lacrossepl9 Thank you for your reply. You analysis was on the spot. I am sure that had he been performing this song on stage the true emotions would be there.
great singing i have to sing this song for my rent play i audition to get the part and i got it!!! i was so happy i beat like 7 people at my school for the spot teacher said she loves my voice but check out my videos of me singing :D
wow, I actually had to check the name on this high school. My high school is Lake Park High School and the town it's in is Roselle, IL. I almost thought they put the name of the high school wrong but I found this school is all the way in Roselle Park, NJ. It almost seems creepy with how close it could be mistaken for my high school.
wow. thats all that can be said.... this is the first sucessful attempt that i've seen done by a not- rock- sounding singer... but your high notes are kinda rockish... very impressed
i remember i had you as a friend on myspace once! way back! we never rlly talked though. i remember it said on ur page u were into acting and stuff but i never rlly saw you act or sing and wow...amazing:D rlly. im glad i found this. favourited and im subscribing:D <3
i dont think that he was thinking of the actual movie when he sang this song...it was probably more personal and for that reason he SHOULD be smiling =]
I have to say, your voice is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL, but just for some helpful advice, i noticed it seems as if throughout this song you were smiling, which shouldn't be done because this is a sad song about the characters girlfriend dying of aids, so your facial expressions should be more of a devastated look, also for this particular song your voice should be more rock-toned, but still you have an excellent voice.
Amazing! Hope you NEVER stop singing and I hope you NEVER stop posting videos of you. Would love to see a lot more of you doing musicals such as this and the other great Broadway theater productions! Keep at it.
love the song, love your voice, but a guy who's gf killed herself and who has aids shouldnt be smiling lol but this was probably just for the singing and not the acting...P.S. your moonface and bill from anything goes saved your show
You mean the movie "School of Rock"? That's great for him! Send my congrats to Zach. Was he also in thsoe West Side Story videos you have? I'm a theater addict, too, so that's so cool!
Yes, he played "Gordon" from the movie "School of Rock" with Jack Black. Yes, he is also in the West Side Story videos. He played "Tony". Thanks for your comments.
Thats one of the best performances of that song I've ever heard, seriously!
