BOY WITH DREAMS - by Pasek and Paul

[Nf9456]

It was pretty good. a little flat but overall really nice voice. the main problem was deffinitly you movements. they were really distracting and unessesary. if you dont know why your doing something then dont do it haha.

[AnimeKena]

you are extremely talented (:

[xodevin9005]

2.29 gives me total goosebumps!

[MrAarontothemax]

OMFG. you sound awesome :}

[jonei77]

I love the fact that you move around in this song, this song definetly calls for both a great performance and strong vocals. Your riff's in the "bee-bop's and doo'dot's" at 1:36 do not work until the last note. good head voice at 2:19, it's perfect! good control of those high notes near the end.

[actordude9393]

where did you find this music

[renethel]

pasekandpaul(dot)com.

[ziontj]

love the song.... a bit rush... maybe adrenaline kickin' haha...

[actinup82]

Can anyone else here how pitchy this is, and how hes pushing for the notes as opposed to landing on it. Good enthusiasm but act it out your own way instead of using what text is given. Got awesome potential man

[lafashunista]

you sing this amazing, but I am curious if you saw the Canadian production of Edges? They have finally closed but if you didn't, you should get in touch with them...

[hardcore437]

can u give the lyrics please this song makes me smile every time no matter what i cant hide it i need the lyrics <3 please!!

[anj477]

great diction and great ending, use all the energy you had at the end of the song throughout the WHOLE song great job though

[justmex20]

Fantastic!

[EGROwth]

Great enthusiasm, Corey! I can't understand all the lyrics (and you've apparently written them) as your enthusiasm sometimes covers up the words, but I'd really like to do the song as a "third party" observing "a boy with dreams." Regards, Houston

[btkaz]

"you've apparently written them"?

uhm... Pasek and Paul wrote Edges.

[Flatonmyface]

i can do better.

[CJDA3]

Well lets see that you can do better...

[LRC4mee]

GREAT!

[cranberyy22]

Great job!

[charlesdavid81]

i just watched this for the first time in while. I still LOVE it!!!! It totally made my day and I sang along at the top of lungs. (even though I can't sing worth a darn! i am sure my neighbors want to shoot me.) i just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed. cheers!

[DJNasteeNate]

brilliant riff at 2:26. =)

[dankohdirect]

Wow!! What a terrific song -- who are those composers?? Great delivery too -- really enjoyable and engaging.

[VeryPolitical]

Really and truly fantastic

[U2Bwatcher]

I've been watching your vids for a while now. I just had to say... this is by far one of your best ones.

Thanks for sharing.

[sualabama]

LOVE it!

[d1919v]

youre hot

[bckesler]

Great voice and energy. I'd work on making more defined and creative choices with your body and you'd be set.

[12thLeveIWizardKing]

That was really freakin good!

[Actinggbugg474]

The run at 2:25 was great!!!

[Phantomnightwatcher]

Who are those fat ass clientele? How does it feel to work in a Pizza Hut? Maybe just a step up from working in a McDonald's?, What specifically does a car that has jet wings look like to you? If you are specific, then the audience will share in your dreams. 2) Be careful about notes and phrasing. There were certain moments you almost ran out of breath. 3)The song possess a youthful, fresh energy which may become boring if you play it on one level so find the different moments. Thank you.

[YLAnthony]

Your whole beginning is not a logical question. The point of the song isn't to talk about him working his way though college at pizza hut, it is that he is a dreamer, and an inventor.

[Phantomnightwatcher]

I agree YLAnthony about the point of the song. However, just as in real life, when someone is narrating their experience to a listener, they are usually thinking of something quite specific and not general. Therefore, I was suggesting the point in order to enhance each moment in the song and not change the main goal, point or idea of it. I apologize if my suggestion was not clear and thank you for responding.

[Phantomnightwatcher]

Thank you for posting your performance. May I humbly suggest the following: 1)Use the energy you expend on excessive hand movement and channel them towards finding specific moments in the song. I suspect the reason you are overexaggerating and indicating with your hands is because you do not know what to do with them onstage. This song is full of tangible, specific ideas and things that you have to imagine as your own.

[MTDivaNYC]

hot mess.

please dont ruin this song by singing it.

ever again.

[cosmocoop]

you ARE the boy with dreams! i came across your videos because i saw you had subscribed to ross "the intern" mathews v-blog. i subscribed to your v-log immediately after my first listen. you're a true talent.

wishing you luck & good fortune!

xo

daveia

[howdyhtem]

too much hand movements.

[ceppygoes]

Corey! SANG! You sound great man! Some of those riffs are AMAZING! I have a question for you - Where did you get the music to this song? And can you get it to me? I'd LOVE to sing this and I've been having so much trouble finding the music!

[payette]

go to pasekandpaul (dot) com

to the store, you can order it there.

[clooimx]

Awsomeness!!!

I love Pasek and Paul now!!

Thanks!

[regamom3]

Great voice!!! Your sister tapes like me... thanks sis!!!

[Grac3not3s]

I haven't counted how many times I've listened to this, but I'm sure it's in the double digits by now. Great job; *very* enjoyable to listen to =]

[itsallme018]

I've loved this song since the first time I heard it, and now watching yours I love it all over again. That was very well sang, and I loved how you put your own spin onto it. You sang it beautifully. You are amazing, no doubt, that you definately have a gift.

[brodwayhit]

wow you need to be on broadway it is to bad rent is going off cause you would be a great roger

[thevanderman]

This one is going into my favorites - excellent performance!

[Feathersandploom]

OOOOO!! LOVE IT!! Beautiful voice!!

[BubblewrappedHeart]

I came back....had to fave it!!!!

[mullymloo]

Hey Corey! I´m a boy with dreams too - and one is that you succeed (and we get to see lots more vids.!)

Thanks for you!

Ben

[thegreatyoda]

You know the thing that I love about your videos (and the reason why you're the only Youtuber I've made comments about regularly) is that everytime I watch one I am sure to be strolling down the street the next day humming whatever you just sang. You have a real talent, but more importantly you sing with real passion and it makes a wonderful song like this even better.

[payette]

thank you so much for your comments. There will be a lot of videos to come so stay tunned.

:-)

[brodwayhit]

Love it cna you make some more parody's on songs?

[payette]

[yu8tinyboy]

[HollytheLatteGirl]

So I was sitting here in the middle of a physics assignment (...someone save me), and I suddenly HAD to watch this video again. Kinda like a chocolate craving, minus the chocolate...yeah. :) Anyway, you should definitely get more "live" vids up... you rocked the stage. Oooh, congrats on partnering, and on getting on BestArts, btw. :D

[chicagoblonde]

Aw, Your his momma! Thats cute!

[Etcy]

lol i'm not really his mom :) just a proud friend :)

[payette]

LOL I love that you had to explain that... ohhh youtube.

we do have very similar eyes, but then would we have sung "I'd give it all for you" as mother/son duet? I think not.

[Etcy]

ew creepy weird lol....if you were my son...that would make me a whore at the age of 1 lol...me thinks no!

[gigigirl281]

Awesome!! :)

[BubblewrappedHeart]

Omigod you are sooo awesome Corey!!!

[ronjazz69]

WOW...Great vid! Why youre not famous on Broadway..I would come and watch and support you!...xxx

[payette]

I'm still in University... but that's the plan

[hygienist4]

Wow what a performance- you are truly a star!  Loved it!

[ryancmysho]

Corey, darlin':

You perform so, so much better on stage then sitting in front of your darn computer. Watch the riff in the middle (1:35); you kinda got lost in it: then again, maybe you were singing like no one was listening: good! Just work those scales for more control!! ;-) I really enjoyed this performance and truly love the song . . . and the dream.

[payette]

I think if you saw the number in context with the show it would make more sense. Its hard to explain but a lot of the stuff vocally is part of my character. but thanks thanks thanks for watching and commenting (I WISH I could have posted the whole set, but this is all my sis got.)

[dancergirl]

Wow. I am completely blown away by this song. You are amazing, Corey. Don't ever stop! I think you're destined for great things!

[obessiveaddict]

I fully agree!

[ColtonRudloff]

i did not know you could sing that well. That was really really good man. Awesome control

[payette]

Thanks x3!

ur comment made me smile, a lot! Probably because you know what you're talking about :-)

[dabiribd]
