you have some soul in your voice don't you... very well done... if I could sing like this when I was younger I would be so happy.. but I couldn't... so you are blessed... great job
This is AmAzing! I have soo much in common with you. Us young boys with high ranges should stick together, I mean like why are we gay just because we are in love with Lady gaga and like acting unique and unlike other people! I mean its my dream to be on broadway, just like yours, and I find so much inspiration from you:D
@tylirb Thanks so much! I'd really love for you to post a vid of you singing, I'd love to here. And anyways, one day we will probably have the lowest voices in history! Haha
Keep dreaming kid! You remind me so much of myself at your age. I wanted to write musicals at 8-years-old. Now I'm living in NYC and doing exactly that. Dreams come true...keep dreaming.
Jeffrey, don't ever let anyone tell you that your not perfect just the way you are. Don't ever change yourself because someone thinks you should. You're genuine and that is part of what makes you a star.
OMG, this makes me cry....I have a music degree, and I'm a sucker for talented kids. You are a star!!! Don't worry about lessons etc, just sing while you can still love it without the pressure! This video made my day!
Can I give you a huge? Cause I really want to give you a huge and tell you your awesome! I saw your Legally Blonde video today at my theatre before I went on for a performance and I almost fell over. You have a amazing voice and if you don't get to broadway then something is wrong with the world because your voice is beautiful. You will definitely go far!
Sweety, you have a great voice. I found you through the famous Jeffrey Self.... I just want to let you know I believe in you, I support you and if you need anything at all don't hesitate to ask.
BTW, I know there were some rude comments about your sexuality(?) at 11 years old, but don't let it bother you. You are you and you should never stop what you do. We all love you and support you. Just keep on being the you you do.
Hey kid...just to let you know, I watched your Legally Blonde video on a big screen in a club in LA with some of the biggest stars that have been on Broadway on Monday night...we definitely see you and you've gone viral amongst the Broadway elite.
You've got talent, that's for sure. But you need to work on a few things - try not to throw too much vibrato on long notes too soon. Also when you're holding long notes, you need to sing more through your mouth and less through your nose, and shift the sound of the verbs to get a better sound. Instead of singing "Hoooooh-m", sing "Hooooorh-m", you'll get a better sound. Other than that, take vocal lessons, get yourself on the acting scene, and your dream should be well within your reach. :)
Get an agent NOWWW! You are going to be sooo successful one day... and all based on your pure, true talent. You are awesome and never EVER let anyone bring you down!
You are amazing Kiddo ! I can't wait till you make it big! It's going to happen, and then you will be on a talk show , showing your talents , as I said before , you are Broadway bound ! Keep up the great work !
@kaylagrlmm12 cant agree more! Gay not happy sad which ever! We are people individuals with all personalities! some loving some caring, and some hating. Which bracket do you guys fall into! If he is gay big deal, I was the same when i was younger 10 11, 12 13, 14. Thankfully the internet was never around then! So i never had to listen to the puke people put online today. Bottom line is he enjoys what he does, hes an actor, an artist he is entertaining and I understand him on every level!
@sasorio923 you are pathetic. Words can't describe how incredibly ridiculous you sound. I've noticed how you haven't commented on his singing abilities, and only his sexuality- which is making me question your own???? Don't try to ruin this boys self esteem, because of YOUR own opinion. You make me sick.,
OMG you are amazing , your so talented and you will definatly go far , broadway is so achievable for you ! , i am a performer in the uk and do musical theatre , so i know how hard but enjoyable it can be . I would love to have your email address so we can talk regularly, as i think you are outstandingly billiant !!! x good luck with everything , matthew x
This is great hon, my only advice from one broadway lover to another: I feel you're trying too hard to hit those big notes and making it dramatic. Just loosen up, feel the music and let it flow. Worst thing you can do is try too hard. Other than that, I feel with all the exposure you got & the talent you have, you have a bright future ahead. <3
cont.. i think with youtube people need to think about the consequences of their comments when on here. Especially when you are commenting on a CHILDS video.. Feedback is one thing.. SLAMMING then and making homophobic and racial comments is another...
i cannot believe the ignorance, stupidity and racist marks of ADULTS.. this is a CHILD who is doing what he wants to do.. he has talent, anyone can see that. Anyone who is in music theatre, like myself knows that you play a role. Children grow up wishing to be like someone and songs are very powerful when you are a singer. Whose to say he isn't copying the technique of clips/people he admires? Whose to say he isnt taking on a role?
@kaylagrlmm12 Oh I am sorry. I should completely support an obsolete form of culture and emascular traits that are a gateway to homosexuality. I can understand being able to sing well, but the path this boy is on is certainly a femine one. Broadway musicals have lost most of their cultural influence. If he was to get into real music and not mere musical theatre then I wouldn't say anything but this is a waste of talent. Don't dare call me a troll because I was led to this by a subscription.
@Sasori923 listen to me you jesus loving freak, (and yah i believe in religion but im not a freak about it) one more derogatory comment from you on this video and youll be sorry. and if the cultural power of broadway has "diminished" then why does his other video have over 20,000 views (with about 10,000 over night)?? if you really do believe in god then you would realize that he wouldnt want you to say that to an 11 year old kid. god loves everyone no matter what. so you can just go to hell.
And some advice from one singer to another. Don't give away your power so soon in the beginning. With a song a song like this you should listen to the music because it gives you the dynamic. The music is soft and delicate in the beginning so your voice should be too. When the bass-line kicks in, that's when you belt it out.
From 1 singer to another...get yourself singing lessons. That is one of the most amazing natural
Voices ever. Lessons will help with breathing and other things. Lessons will take what gift u have and bring your awesome voice to another level. Keep believing in yourself and keep doing what you're doing. Who knows..you might be the next YouTube sensation like Beiber. Mazel to you!
@jrlovr88 I completely agree with jrlovr881. You have the most amazing natural talent!! I watched you videos and was completely in shock! I'm a singer as well, and I can honestly say voice lessons will only improve your already amazing talent. Good luck to you in everything, and maybe we'll see each other on Broadway on day! =]
@Sasori923 Shut up man, whether he's gay or straight, what does it matter? This kid has a dream to go to broadway, if he's determined to follow his goal, he has my support 100%. Can you sing any better? Live and let live, and btw, what's wrong with gay people (not saying he is or isn't)? Grow up.. the world needs more people like this kid, people who have a passion for something.
@dmv38 There are people with passion but they don't feel the need to broadcast it on a public forum. Also, what is wrong with gays? Well let me start; it defies nature, men are meant for females and vice versa, even lesbians are wrong so I am certainly not biased about male homosexuals, using love as an excuse is rediculous, and many more points. Additionally the cultural power of broadway has diminished due to the horrible road our culture is heading down.
@Sasori923 Why is using love as an excuse ridiculous? Love exists in many forms, homosexuality is as natural as heterosexuality, it's been scientifically proven (also with animals, insects, arachnids, plants, etc..), it's not a choice, it can't be changed and it's a beautiful thing, love is beautiful (whether between a man and a woman, a man and a man, woman and a woman, whatever..) and what does it change in your life? Maybe I can't convince you, and you can't convince me but if you want to be
@Sasori923 an ignorant bible-humper, be my guest.. but don't be disrespectful. Whether you might not agree with homosexuality, that's your own problem and you have to accept the fact that it's always been here and it will never go away. I have a hard time living with the fact that theirs stupid people like you in the world, but do you know what? I'm dealing with it. Gay, bi, lesbian, transsexual.. whatever, you are who you are.
To: TheJMSmovies, keep doing what you're doing, I don't care if you'
@Sasori923 re straight, gay, bi, transgendered, it doesn't matter to me. You've got great talent and you'll go far in life, your sexuality doesn't change the fact that you're a good person. When you're going to be on stage performing, people won't care what colour your skin is, what your sexuality is, etc... all their going to see is someone with a voice. That's what I see, a normal human being with lots of talent to share. Hope you're doing well bud. :)
@Sasori923 I don't care HOW you found this kid's videos. to come onto his page and spout ignorance, bile and espouse your antediluvian views on homosexuality is wrong, hateful and small-minded to a fault. I don't care what this kid believes or what his proclivities might be - The simple fact is that he was given a gift from God, and the only sin he'd be committing is if he didn't utilize it to the best of his abilities. He's a light in a world filled with dark, blind individuals like yourself.
@Sasori923 You, my friend, are an insensitive, ignorant creep. This kid is immensely talented and beyond that, his life is his business. If you dislike his singing or his personality, why bother to comment?
@Dameednafla What I dislike are his feminine traits and his possible homosexuality. Don't dare say there is nothing wrong with homosexuality either becuase it defies natural order and is simply wrong. I am not for lesbians either, all of this stuff is wrong.
@Sasori923 ok WHATEVER if your an ignorant homophobe, but really? he's 11! why the hell would you say that to an 11 year old. so like, not only are you an ignorant homophobe, you're just an asshole who spends their time telling young kids their gay... wow you have a life. and if it really defies nature, than why does it exist?
this is so great! you need to get into regional theater, or get an agent or start going to some auditions, broadway won't find you on youtube! you have to go to them!
Honey, Broadway has already found him on You Tube. Seth Rudetsky, Laura Bell Bundy, the cast of Priscilla all have seen and commented on his Legally Blonde video. He will be known in short order.
