Stars - Les Miserables - Javert by Stephen Dale

[asfaloth12]

Beautiful! What a talented young man.

[mmeegustaaaa]

Is he Benjamin Button? Cant help but imagine him talking in this tone in school.. =/ excellent singing though!

[Eamonr123456]

I'm singing this song for an audition :)

[Dirschbag]

Watch the note scooping, but otherwise very good!

[aerozepfan2112]

He may not be quite up to the quality of a professional, but that comes with experience and practice. What's really important here is that he shows he has both the ability and an incredibly good timbre to perform Javert. Overall, excellent, especially for a 17 year old!

[JohnDavid731]

you're really good man

[IndieKidScott]

Eliding is a good tactic. Take it into consideration.

[Monkeyballmania]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dustbunee2007]

You're pretty good. BTW, two questions: 1. How old are you now (and I mean, what year did you do this, since the rights have been available for schools to do "Les Miz" since the early 2000s)? And 2. Do you have clips of you doing either "The Confrontation" or "Javert's Suicide"?

[QueenfanMatt]

Abit snatchy in places but very good overall :)

[RosesNightengales]

Wow. He doesn't sound like a 17yr old. Sounds more like a professional. Way to go! Keep it up!

[ImUrFanGirl]

ur voice is amazing its like u swallowed phillip quast and he's doing all the singing for u =)

[KissMeQuenley]

@ImUrFanGirl Hahahahahaha......

[Spiceofmadrid]

Hey stephen Alex from Rushing's studio here, love your voice. Keep up the good work, I know you'll be wowing people on Broadway someday :)

[BarnabasFrid]

soon as I saw 17 I said, "Ohhh no..." Then I heard him... not bad.

[nightswimmer99]

What a gift you have, Stephen. Such beautiful, rich tone. Please don't waste it covering old pop songs on some stupid popularity contest like Idol or AGT.

Keep working and improving. You have a voice for Broadway or London. If that's your ambition and you make it, I'll be in line to buy a ticket. Best of luck to you!

[sdrhead]

This guy is phenomenal!!!! Exceptional performance for a 17-year-old!!!! It's unfortunate that the video cut off before he finished.

[benman136]

17 years old? This guy is amazin

[singsongfly]

pretty good for you age. keep up the good work!

[s1conrad]

BRAVO! A beautiful, stirring rendition. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[aviva0017]

Your acting is a little bleh, but the singing is FABULOUS. :D I wish it didn't cut off that end note. XD But keep it up, your voice is GORGEOUS.

[colin012]

Fairly good. Pitch is nearly spot on. I would suggest working on intonation next. : ) My suggestion for you would be trying to keep your toung down on long notes. It lets the full sound come through and it will sound even better than it already does. Keep up the awesome work. : ) You have a great voice and a lot of potential.

[Bookworm246579]

Snap!! This guy is AMAZING!!!

[JimBobInc]

Awesome job Stephen :D

I uploaded myself doing Stars i'm 16 almost 17 aswell :D

[westenduberfan]

17???? thats incredible!

[teddymon111]

wow.

[Herumgucker]

He definitely has to work on his acting, but singing-wise he's almost perfect!

[rossmcl177]

Wow! Shame you cut off the ending, but he's amazing!

[foxracingfanatic]

omg i think im in love with you oh my freaking god that was amazing!!! our school did les miserables too but our javet was not that good and your cute <3 ~and ya im a girl...eventhough i kinda have a dude profile name

[mattlaw777]

Very, very good, Stephen! Bravo!

[Mistressofthenight8]

Wow Stephen, very, very good. Reminds me of Quast's performance. I wish you much success and maybe one day we will see you on Broadway!!

[gavincapener]

Great singer, or is it you singing, please respond

[seanmd80]

Great timbre, but needs to control his upper range so it's not flat. Maybe more breath will do the trick. Keep it up.

[lilrowyravenclaw]

The costuming made me gag, but he was SOO good! I was questioning whether it was really coming from him! Wow!

[th3gr8juan]

This kid is definitely good. Ridiculous voice. But no one does it like Quast.

[xylovesjesus]

This is amazing! He sounds professional.

[remocleo]

Oh My God he sounds like Phillip Quast ........Well almost.

[Avissel]

Nobody sounds like Philip Quast :P

[remocleo]

this guy does though

[mrwatrpolo]

that kid is amazing! freak what a voice

[captainbear2]

the acting and costume is lacking but he is young and he doesn't control the wardrobe.

but the vocals were amazing

[thestar13]

beautiful voice but he needs to work on his body language, I think his voice is just so much more mature then his ability to hold a presence on stage and hopefully that will come with practice

beautiful though, gave me chills

[harmonyauthor]

Wow! ... Just wow. This is definitely an amazing performance. I wasn't expecting such a deep voice! I agree about your hand placement, and the singing was TERRIFIC! When you first started, my jaw just dropped, I was so shocked. Definitely an excellent performance!

[Melensko]

17... damn

[ilovemusic6695]

U Rockk STEPHEN!!!

[tabanorama]

Excellent

[Theres0A0Wolf]

you can't compare him to quast in either acting or vocals. he's not even close. he's damn good for 17, but at this point he is definitely not quast

[nicopiccardo]

ecxellent vocal interpretation!!! you must leave your hands a little more freeze by just grabing the stick and don´t move them only if you are going to do a specific move.

[funkydrummer514]

def. him

[mavalos88]

Is that really him? His voice sounds too deep :X

[ilovemusic6695]

Yes it really is Him. I was in this same exact play with him, he's an amazing singer, and his voice really is that deep!

[flamingoccm]

this is simply chilling!

Your voice is absolutely amazing and powerful. I'd work on the acting/blocking for this kind of song. He's falling apart in this song, make sure you really show it. :)

[cpjc08]

excellent voice!

[freebeings]

Beautiful haunting chilling Javert. The best I have heard way better thwn wimpy quast-he needs to have more strength and power like this kid does-he's going to be a star.

[qwertlc]

we'll have to agree to disagree on vocals, but I think you have to agree that Quast dominates in theatrical expression. This guy's voice is good, but he just flops his hands around. Quast puts his whole face, his whole body into the emotion of the song

[TheJawsOfJared]

This guy is incredible

[usernamenumber]

Wow, this is one of those songs I've been doing as an audition piece for years. I've heard many versions and been complimented on my own performances of it but yours, sir, is really excellent. Well done!

[alexanderleewang]

amazing!

[ikklecookiemonsta]

really, really, really shockingly good pipes - especially for one so young. i am scared to think what this lad will sound like with 5 more years of experience on his back. shiver-down-the-spine worthy singing right there.

[sacon05]

Dude, for a 17 yr old, this is extraordinary.

[pluper222]

For a 17 year old , he's not bad, He's better than alot of grown men. Keep it up.

[wasbeautifulonce]

beautiful x

[funkydrummer514]

do you have a video of you guys acting and singing so i can see what you mean?

[scarpath]

OMG... I thought some high pitched teenage voice was going to come out of your mouth. Instead I hear this heavenly bass voice. AMAZING!

Needs more acting. Think about the character, Javert is prideful, moral, and strict. His pride was his downfall, for he had too much pride to accept the fact Jean Valjean spared his life.

[SarahDe93]

your voice is stunning, no doubt about it.

I dont know if you're looking for critique, but I'd just suggest working a bit on your acting. that was really a fantastic performance though :D

[patissierbrien]

Without a doubt a fabulous voice. However his acting while singing needs work. Needs to identify more with where the character is coming from and their mindframe.

[Istandbyme]

omg I am in love with a 17 yr old-arrest me I'm 27. What a strong voice-I have chills he is so sexy~!

[actmasterkings]

excellent job . i can see that you mean what you say. if anybody thinks this isnt good slap them. oh and if anybody likes this performence come to tri cities highschool. all of their musicals are this good

[Bramblefox]

*scrapes jaw from the floor* Oh my gosh...wow. You opened your mouth and I just about fell over!! Absolutely amazing. Bravo! *falls over from clapping so hard*

[00BubblesTheBear00]

brilliant, i covered this song too.

[pleasington54]

Bravo - you did a great job - brilliant voice for a 17 year old!

[shmoogle14]

Wow. that was awesome!!! bravo!!!

[ForeverBloomingRose]

Wow! You have a great voice for Javert! Keep up the fantastic work, man!

[JSanzLesMis421]

Very good. A bit dark, but I suppose it works for the character. But, dude (this isn't your fault) the costume... :(

[Sieglinde84]

Yes, your voice is very "Quast-ish", and you sing it beautifully!

Will you upload other parts, too? :D Please...

[calves4days]

Yeah... well I got goose bumps about 3 or 4 times while watching that performance!!! Stephen you are amazing! Can't wait to see you on broadway. Wish we could have seen you live. Next time pop us (Gary and Jane) an e-mail letting us know if you are doing something like this.

[karenjayne24]

oops i do not know why i wrote david quast i meant PHILIP quast must be my old age setting in!

[karenjayne24]

It appears that I am the first to comment. You have a wonderful voice. This is such a difficult work to perform and portray what it is saying, I have just ordered a david quast cd keep singing you may be the next quast!
