"The Schmuel Song" from The Last Five Years, 2003

[Kcinimod2000]

Your voice is wondrous.

[rob123aber]

You're version of the last five years is easily the best on youtube.

I have absolutely loved the musical ever since I saw it last year and its great to be able to watch a good version of the songs online.

Thank you very much :D.

[SaveTheCoven]

WOW!!!!

I like the song. Well, I'm from Germany and in German the song is pretty cool. but sung by you in english the song is AMAZING!!!!

[mynamejonas]

Oh man, that was incredible. Will you spend your life with me / for the next time lifetimes...? ;)

[PleaseAvertYourEyes]

Completely amazing.

Great voice!

[dizzyvertigo13]

I just fell a little bit in love with you. Superb voice.

[pgcharly3]

he is telling her a story and talks to her in the end why wouldnt she be on the stage?

[EkEkEkEk08]

why the heck is she on stage with him!?

[BirdsongVids]

Because she's onstage at this part in the play... It gets confusing, but just because they never "directly interact" (except for The Next Ten Minutes, of course) they're still onstage a lot of the time together. Like in See I'm Smiling.

[macmanuslvf]

You were great!!

[LTiffyangel]

so great! i love it/you!

[singingmelifeaway]

Wow that was AMAZING!!! I <3 it! GREAT VOICE!!!! I agree with Jes8lov I'm in love now haha

[pilouface32]

it's very very impressionant that you sing like this !

I love so so much !!

Don't stop !! (I don't know if it's very english that I'am going to say ... :-s !)

[DatBugler]

I've watched a whole bunch of interpretations of Jamie on YouTube, and I have to say you have my absolute favorite. You play the Yiddishisms and humor tastefully, as well as the earnest parts. The chair is a great touch. Just work on the gestures a little. Great job!

[TimonyErt03]

I love this song! And your acting is really great and of character. You play it well!

[grooovey]

i vant you for my vife. i wish i could have seen this, it's great. continue on singing and acting and allll that jazz.

[jes8lov]

I'm kind of in love with you now.

[Crystal0418]

I think you did great. The acting wasn't bad at all. The chair works...it's better than the "hands around your face" thing to make the clock. Anyhow, you were amazing. :)

[lemnjuiceaholic]

You have a beautiful voice. I'm kinda upset that I didn't know about this performance cause I live in St. Paul, but I'm glad it's on here! You seemed so nervous with the twitching, but you shouldn't have been! You are cute, and believable, and such a good singer! Keep it up.

[gmr2broadway]

you are FANTASTIC. please keep singing and acting.

[TimeWarpedAgain]

A very nice performance, but don't be afraid to move a little when you're singing the bits with the clock! You have a dazzling voice and it was a pleasure to listen to you.

[hellobasil21]

i really liked this, but it seemed a little forced. just try to loosen up and make the song your's and it will be even better!

[supertigerdave]

That is great you sound just like the CD!

[cerxpas]

my favorite scene the song is so catchy.

[BlackCatP13]

Oh oh... Thanks to you I totally can't wait for the Dutch production... I have to wait at least 2 months!! Argh...

You're very good!

[dangerousandrogyne]

You've got a great voice and a lot of talent. As for the acting, you're not bad at all -- you just seem nervous. Get more specific, go further with the funny bits, and be careful of your movement. Some of it looks overly rehearsed, and sometimes you look like you want to move but don't -- go with your instincts and it'll be a million times better. :)

[joeknis]

Hey man, Ive watched most of your videos and your voice is very very good. I am getting an undergrad in music and theater right now. I agree with some of the people that your acting needs work. I did notice the sleeve thing as well. Anyway brush up your acting and you have a great future ahead of you. What are you thinking of pursuing? Oh watched your dancing videos too, pretty much do it all huh?

[ComicGuy86]

WOW! Great job.

[itsmebailey]

your amazin dude! i expect to c u on or off broadway, and then get to the west end, u have a stunnin voice! id buy the last five years soundtrack wiv ur vocals with pleasure!

[scottobrady]

what a great show! and i feel as though this part is written for Danny - great work!

[nfesette]

OMG you are 6 to 12 times better than JASON ROBERT BUTZ!!

I totally came (sp?) when I heard it!!! OMGOMGOGMGOGOMGOGOMG!!!! The way you move your left hand is totally REAAAALLLLZZZ, if I were proposing, I'd totally do that too! SOOOOOOSOSOOSOOOO whip it out!

[JessieBlueForever]

...Jason Robert Brown wrote the thing.

Norbert Leo Butz was the singer.

I think you're a little confused.

[zarysarslove]

i love this song, you do a great job at the singing!! the pianist really bugged me though... i knwo its hard but.. ARGH it buugged me!! lol:P otherwise great job it's a hard song to get right!!

GREAT VOICE!!

[TinorialPeredhil]

This guy is beyond awesome.

[cherryblossom12]

"maybe its just that you're afraid to go out onto a limb...avitch..." that was perfect! very natural! great job!

[MadamPascal]

You are just too cute. Lovely voice! As far as the acting goes, it was rehearsal, right? I'm sure it was fine onstage :-)

[WitchesofOz]

WOW. I adore your voice. Awesome. And yes, the acting was a little awkward, and I did notice the sleeves thing. I have the same problem with tucking my hair behind my ears. But if you put that up in a WEEK, I say, Remember the little people when you're famous!

<3 Elphie

[cherryblossom12]

his acting isnt THAT bad. its very bearable compared to some crap i've seen. on the other hand, his voice is absolutely INCREDIBLE.

[starsrcool101]

you. have. a. beautiful. voice. period

[Act909]

Climbing up and off the chair looked a little rough to me, just so unnatural. Your voice is very good though, I like it a lot. Acting just seems a little unnatural, and I don't like it but still your voice makes up for it.

[Puckapoo]

yea, I agree. We literally put that workshop up in a week and I didn't have the acting chops to pull it off.

[naomibeth]

great voice. Is he on broadway?!

[Violinist80]

I noticed the fidgeting, too. I don't know a lot about acting, but I can say that I definately about fell in love with your voice. Your singing was brilliant.

[NoDayButToday93]

I love your voice...if I haven't already said that.

Just don't fidget with your sleevs so much.

Still awesome.

[Kdawg080786]

You sing very well but work on the Jewish accent!

[xAEJunky]

Beautiful voice. I can definately see that voice on Broadway in the future, good luck with everything.

[ebear]

Wow! You got a voice, boy! I love this musical and I love this song, too. You did awesome!

[elfrincovakel]

are u kidding? i totally notice it...i mean he does have a great voice, wish i had it...but go get get some acting classes and u will be SO much better!! but really good!! especially that a# in moving to fast!!

[serenity452]

True not necessarily the best acting but your singing is good enough that you don't really notice.



[shootinstr11]

this guy is good. yeah.
