you can tell he's had some vocal coaching. Like I said, he does have a very nice voice, i wasn't trying to be insulting. I'm sorry if it came off that way. :/
you have such a great voice... I think if you took deeper breaths it would totally help you feel more comfortable and improve your tone on the higher notes, so instead of breathing from your ribs, breathe from your diaphragm.
PS- Your pianist is very distracting throughout the video, he plays the part too staccato, in the right hand at the beginning theme.
is this song in the last five years? I'm confused because I listen to the last five years all the time but I haven't heard this actual song, ever. but what you have said in your info section makes it seem like it is, and it matches the story line.
yes, it is from the last 5 years... but this song was replaced by "shiksa goddess" later on.. too bad isn't it... it would be a rocking extra track.. oh well :/
Like bitchikBJK said, it was replaced by Shiksa Goddess - because JRB's ex-wife (whose relationship with him this show is based on. And who Cathy is based on) pitched a fit because it was making it VERY obvious that he meant her in this song, with the Irish and the red hair and what-not, so he changed it.
I love your performance, but it's tinged with too much of the same ornamentation and stylistic tendencies as Norbert Leo Butz. Work as hard as you can to pull away from your favorite performances of certain songs, and to try not to sound just like your favorite performers, and come up with a sound that's truly your own.
You've got a long way to go, but this is still a very nice performance. Also just watch your high register. The last "like" was a bit shaky.
Ive been watching a lot of your movies and there really great i really want to do this song for my solo ensemble this year and i was wondering what do you originally sing? it sounds like your a baritone but you have an amazing range so i dont know if your a tenor of baritone
beautiful voice, for some reason you remind a lot of ryan gosling, not sure if you've gotten that before haha. I think what I most enjoyed about your performance is you acted. I notice that a lot of people will sing incredibly well but they don't put emotion and meaning behind the words. Also, you weren't nervous you seemed very comfortable and relaxed up there. Great job.
Good Job. I do agree with the guy who talked about standing still. You are better than that. Don't fall into that. Also you do look like Ryan Gosling. I like your stuff.
Hey, if anyone in here wants to check out an amazing version of this check out this guy named Caleb Shaw.
hey man you have a really good voice, and you act the song with your voice and yoru face well, but honeslty, it would be a litle more intersting if you got your body involved a little more. the slow "i dont know what gesture to make so ill do the same one over and over" is a pit that so many incredibly talented singers fall into. dont be one of them.
i am in looove with your voice & i have enjoyed watching your videos on this late night! i love the last five years and you blow me away with all your renditions of the great songs! you're incredibly talented and you belong on broadway.
go there right NOW... like really... stop reading this comment and go there NOW!
Its a song that was cut from the Off Broadway musical, "The Last Five Years." If you like this song I'm sure you would like the rest of the musical. Even though this song was replaced, the show is amazing! Check it out!
Oh my god. Sooooo cute. You don't quite get the same feeling you do from Norbert as being scared to death, it's more of a... he knows he's a goofball and is TRYING to be cool to impress her. I squeed from the sheer adorableness.
I disagree with the pumpkinhead. I believe that you told the story and although it was a tad stiff in the beginning you settled in nicely and took off. keep up the rad work. and nice beard by the by.
I directed the Los Angeles premiere of LFY and JRB is a friend. I have followed your videos for a while, and have been mightily impressed by your talent. You have a great future in the business. Drop me a message with your contact info...I'd like to stay in touch with you.
I like it a lot, acting and voice both great but I think it just lacks energy... that's all. Watch some vids of Norbert Singing this song... it has a bit more passion in it (which may be because he was doing it in the momentum of the show)... which this isn't... but still good :)
First, Im guessing this song was cut from the show? Second, what r u talking about^ I thought it was believable and natural. Its not a production performance what more do u want? I dont normally critize but looking at ur vid on ur profile...umm u arent at a level to critique others
i know i can't sing, i'm absolutley terrible, this guy's voice is amazing but there's just something about the acting, you don't get the guys sheer terror at talking to this girl of his dreams
There's a backing track you can get for this song now at btracks.com :-)
