im sorry, but i dont really like kyle riabko, well from what i've seen on youtube. i saw hunter parish in NYC and he was amazing, i was blown away, but kyle riabko seems very much like he's trying to be a pop-star and that's just not what SA is. i love the show insane amounts, dont get me wrong, but my dream Melchior has more depth.
I hate that people keep bashing him by watching these videos. He's not in the show here. He's performing as a pop star, not Melchior. When you see him as Melchior, he's not doing this. He's doing it much more 'musical-theatre'. And as far as depth goes, he had the best interpretation of the character and overall acted it better than any other Melchior, in my opinion.
i saw it in houston yesterday too!! ... and today! it was so good i had to go back... i actually thought it was better than the original cast... in my opinion... of course it might have been kyle's ass that did the trick! ;-) LOL!!
Just saw the show in Houston. Was blown away by it! Kyle was fantastic, not to mention the rest of the cast. Wish I had met him and others like the person who commented below(rugged64). Kinda jealous u know.
I've not seen him in the show (yet! I have tix for the US tour in feb), but... from what I've heard of him I really don't like his voice as melchior. The reason I liked Groff a lot was that he just had this inate believability with the songs. Riabko sounds like he's just singing the songs. He might have the character in the show, I can't say. But I don't like what I've heard of him thus far.
I actually just saw him in Houston like 5 hours ago and he absolutely killed this song! It was was breath-taking, lie. I don't really like this recording of him singing this song... but when he sings it in the theatre while in character it's just amazing!! You won't be dissappointed!
Don't we all love Spring awakening... Haha. Nice version, and a really good falsetto. From one singer to another! :)

He's my second favorite Melchior. But of course, Jon Groff is the best. And I think Jonathan has a better voice.

he is excellent in the show. He has the best overall voice of all the melchiors i've heard.
