I find myself crying at the end of this video, EVERY SINGLE TIME!! I cant help it. The emotion in this song is incredible. Not to mention they have amazing voices and together its just perfect. He could definetly be the phantom with that voice!!! Oh and Lea blows me away.....UGH!!!
Omg this is the guy who played Henri in season 1 of glee. And apparently they were dating and living together...but then a few days before they shot that episode they broke up.
I think, honestly, that if she had taken this role for the Broadway revival and not done Glee, I would like her SO MUCH more. Also, I hate how Hollywood ruins Broadway people. Now if she goes back to Broadway, it will packed with mindless fans saying "Omg, Lea from Glee". Wtf, is up with the world.
/endrant.
This is beautiful, by the way. I love her pre-Glee.
@rachel869 I agree...I wish I had known her before glee but I live in Switzerland so I couldn't see her in Brodway but it's so true that hollywood ruins broadway people...! let's just hope she'll get pass all the hype and fame attention...
@rachel869 that wasn't an option thought the rivival was for 2006 -2007 and she than would not been able to do Spring Awakening. Sorry but that s a bit judgmental. If she goes back to B-way it might make more fans for live theater as well.
Holy lord almighty I can barely stand to listen to Lea's voice for more than five seconds without breaking into chills-- astonishing. Every note is filled with such emotion. Absolutely stunning.
@hockychick1317 Eponine might be dying, but the fact that Marius cares so much for her makes her happy. She knows he will keep her safe and close even after she is dead, it's quite romantic.
i cant believe how one girl can win over all mans hearts in performances..maybe in privatelife they have someone but with her they all look in love...amazing...i love lea michele
Ehh. I like that they changed the mood of the song, it was never going to fit in as a song in which she dies during a caberet. Instead it's sort of a cute sweet love song almost. It works with the flirty thing they have going. Besides they both sound fabulous.
Love their voices. But then. it kinda lost the mood of the song. she's supposed to be dying here. she sounds a little too happy lol. Great performance though.
Young Cosette's role is a bit different. But thanks for the clarification. I'm fairly certain you're right, because there is a video floating around of her singing 'On My Own' as Eponine.
@Yaddayaddayaddablahb While she was Wendla in Spring Awakening in workshops, the Broadway Revival of Les Misérables was going to be on and she was offered the role of Eponine but she declined to continue doing Spring Awakening for Broadway.
I agree---just in terms that it's hard to live up to your potential with the drama of this song, pretending to be dying at a cabaret! It's beyond awesome, though!
exactly! it's impossible to act this song (or act it well, rather) when not in the context of the show. it makes me wish there was another Marius/Eponine duet that they could have performed...
@jaymcb lol...I'm not entirely sure if that's supposed to be a compliment or an insult. are you trying to say that "she could sing with a stick, and there'd still be chemistry somewhere in there" or the opposite? although from what I'm seeing in this video, i' m thinking the former
To Alison, John Lloyd, and Lea, I want to apologize for asking too many personal questions. I realize now that my questions have hurt people who I had no intention of hurting. You have a right to privacy and I am truly sorry. I wish all of you the best. Mendy
They're so great together. And they have the perfect voices for Eponine and Marius. Lea Michele is almost as good as Lea Salonga, and that's extremely hard to accomplish. John Lloyd Young has such a great voice, so pure.
I was wondering that because of all the pictures of them together on his blog. THis kinda confirms it. But then again, JLY was datign the same girl for like five years so I don't know. My head hurts.

In my opinion Lea Salonga is the best Eponine in the 20th Century and Lea Michele would be the best Eponine in the 21st Century.
P.S. No-One used the differences of century's with peoples performances before
