"My Girlfriend Who Lives in Canada" from Avenue Q

[youkilledbambi]

He looked at his puppet what I don't understand

[MrInsanity25]

I can see the point of upstaging your his puppet. He does the puppet work great but he keeps it fairly far away from his body.  When I watch Ave. Q they have near their faces, probably so to more easily hide their faces. I think that's the only problem. Although the expressions of Nicky's actor make me kaugh in the actual thing.

[Goodyearmonkey]

jim hensen would not approve

[TheGreatRakatan]

He doesn't get that the puppet is the star, and not him.

[outcastact21]

me and my friend rachel will randomly start singing this everyday at lunch.

[dominoeangel]

Entertaining Bret Lunsford.

Stage presence is lovely

[TheNatkidd]

So is that the early Rod.

[tkr808]

That guy with his hand up Rod's butt is sexy... ;-)

[LinkDaHylian5002]

Are you kidding me? Guys, this isn't about "puppeteering" it's a f*cking musical that requires a lot of talent work and dedication. That puppeteering is the LEAST important thing.

[dominoeangel]

@LinkDaHylian5002

good point.

you need the talent and different arts as a whole to create what it is.

[AddyndRosieFoSerious]

You're using your puppet wrong. Humans speak by moving their lower jaw, and you're supposed to do the same with puppets.

[ThePooeater2]

My favorite part OH! XD

[angelssexy88]

I hate it when people get jealous and start saying aww u rushed it and all the focus was on u, its stupid. HE WAS AWESOME. Go YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just congratualte him. For fucks sake.

'And I Can;t Wait To Eat Her PUssy Again!!" lol

[TheHeroHartmut]

@angelssexy88 We're no0t saying he was bad; far from it. The thing is that the focus DOES have to be on the puppet. The puppeteer is, for all intents and purposes, meant to be a part of the background.

[angelssexy88]

@TheHeroHartmut i just saw the show in New York he s done it almost exactly the same way to the broadway puppeter so suck on that bitch

[TheHeroHartmut]

@angelssexy88 'Suck on that, bitch'? Trying to act hardcore on the internet just makes you look sad.

Just sayin'.

[davew0927]

Be careful with your tempo's. You rushed the tempo several times and your pitches were not always accurate.

[jungla3]

I like this more than the real one X)

although Rod is much more awesome than that puppet ._.´

[sabrinaleeful]

it was so pretty!

[Elfendied11]

everybody makes mistakes.. can people just offer constructive criticism rather than saying he sucks or something??

[Randomtwighlight40]

I actually like this more than the one rod actually did

[4104618345]

Haha wtf

Lol



[TheSkam03]

dude... your singing ability is amazing but to do rod you have to have that nasally voice to do this song... sorry.

[musteatramen]

i love how this guy is actually a closeted homosexual! my gaydar is off the charts!!

[villaramaluis5]

why does the puppet look different

[hettybobcat]

I love Ave. Q and that song is hilarious but honestly that guy kind of sucks...... I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, but his puppet had almost no lip-sync at all. I mean, the singing was fine and he knew all the words, but it's like he was too busy concentrating on doing the acting himself instead of letting the puppet act.

[jumpingjeremy]

sort of a different feel for the character of rod, but I like it. the puppets lips werent really in sync with the song though, other than that, I really liked it!

[roseiizza]

im not being mean okay

i like this guy his voice was great so was the puppet movement when he went to the puppets higher voice if he could he should ave used tht this is one of the best i seen good job turst me i probley couldnt do better lol

[davew0927]

Your rhythm fluctuated at points and the puppet's mouth didn't sync up at points, but not a bad performance, 7/10.

[TheGeekForTDI]

XD with her legs up Over her Head

[Amydixon08]

this performance would have been a hell of a lot better if you concentrated more on the sylables for the puppets mouth, it didnt work that you did half the song moving the mouth and then not... good try though :)x

[lostny76]

aww so cute you feel the need to talk down yet you are at home watching youtube while he is creating broadway history.

[Amydixon08]

i was being constructive, i dont comment on bad videos, whats the point in that? if i dont like it i'll leave it. this guy is good but with a little bit more work he would be great combining voice with puppet.

[teamWTFproductions]

voice is off as is laugh but other than that really good

[lettlettchan]

Not bad xD

He's really cute too!

[WickedlyAwsome]

Awesome! I love this song! Very nice voice! Just in my opinion though, in "Avenue" they give the puppet it's own voice. Different from the actors. But other than that it was awesome!

[Mrsjohnnydepp95]

u wanna try singing like that with ur mouth closed?

[scargirl133]

It isn`t normal puppet art, Avenue Q has a different style

[PwincessEmiweee]

After you sweetheart.

Now go watch the musical.

[DiamondDoberman]

Thats part of the style.

[BellaJasamLuthan2010]

your dum they have to move thier lips or it would sound like mmmmmmmm

[EBKemanon]

You people are clearly not familiar with the source material. The lips are supposed to move. That's part of the humor.

[TechnologyWitch]

He can't match Rod's laugh. :( Cool, but nobody could ever perfectly replicate the original! :P

[whalewashingcrad]

Yea umm... hes talented... but... he sped up A LOT and you can hear the pianist trying to catchup!

[sally1112]

He is cute! I would be his gf in Canada, and I suck like a Hoover.

[tabbsy]

You're adorable :-) I've also noticed the puppet looks quite like you :-)

[Hutzlfutz]

Great performance :) 5 stars from here !

[HAMIproductions]

you make ur voice to low.

[Mank25]

You need to practice the ways of the puppet. Your energy should be concentrated in HIS movements, not your own. And the lip-syncing just needs a lot of practice, it's not hard once you get it down.

[Gage131]

well DUH! If you get it down, you got it down...

[ickymax]

ummm . . flat much??

[pjsloves5]

in the show the puppet should be the only character that the audience notices and in this i see two. the puppet and yourself. =]

[mosels]

clearly you've never heard of avenue Q. in avenue Q they show both.

[pjsloves5]

clearly you misinterpreted my comment. I was saying how he was making himself too noticeable. facial expression is always great but dont upstage the puppet.

[mosels]

clearly you are right hehe. sorry, i understand now and I agree. funny song though

[pjsloves5]

clearly its totally alright hahaha =] look at my video of the song!!! just click on my name and find the video

[sunshinexbuddy]

I think I see what you mean. The actors in the musical made some serious facial expressions, but even if they were over the top, the puppet was doing something even more interesting. XD I love Avenue Q. It's really clever.

[pjsloves5]

EXACTLY@

[Qermaq]

Puppets in Avenue Q are bigger. For a reason.

[mixedking]

i agree you have to bring the puppet to life it has to breath your voice was good your singing was good but the puppet was not alive

[abuthemonkey]

dude, you totally upstaged your puppet.. BAD. it's avenue q - the focus is on rod, not his puppeteer.

being able to command attention is not a bad thing, but not when you're a puppeteer.

[justanotherrandom432]

I see your point, but I couldn't help laughing at the way you said it

"you totally upstaged your puppet"

lol

[silentcentreet]

@abuthemonkey but the whole point of avenue Q is to give the puppet more life by letting the audience see the puppeteer because (due to lack of facial mussels) puppets cannot express heavy emotions.

[John1Leaf]

@silentcentreet But never to the extreme. When you watch Avenue Q, your attention is naturally drawn to the puppet, and it feels like it's the puppet talking. Here he's the main focus. The puppet could be gone and it would be almost exactly the same in this case.

[otakuyaoiness]

@abuthemonkey i have agre with you on this one -_-'

[REDHOTTIE2004]

@abuthemonkey I kinda agree, but I think the camera angle is a big part of it. He's in the middle of the screen, and the puppet is off to the side. So the attention just naturally focuses on him, so you just see his performance a lot, cause at the same time it would be boring if he just stood there with bland face. None of the cast from Avenue Q did, they were just as much a part of the performance.

[integralmath]

@abuthemonkey well, you're free to focus on his rod instead of his puppet if you'd like. =^_^=

[MsThetre]

@abuthemonkey This comment is really helpful cuz im getting ready to play a bad idea bear and now i know to make sure i don't do thay.

[TwistedIngenue]

Nice job! But I think the pace was too fast. I liked your pause, though!

[csquires04]

Holy shit! It's Bret!!!!

Great job man!

[ginister10]

[4068923]

[PapasLittleGirl]
