@charlamar Um, excuse me, as an accompanist, I take serious offence to that. You try playing that song, eh? Seriously hard. Also, I think the piano was closer to the camera than the singers were. And one more thing: it is the singer's responsibility to match the piano's volume, especially if they are professionals, not the other way around. Accompanists take a lot of shit. You try it sometime.
It seems like the pianist wasn't even following the singers. Maybe that's why there were a few pitch problems. But MPJ looks so adorable when he sings and smiles :)
Why. Why. WHY did they let Marcy Harriell become Vanessa? Although Krysta is an amazing Nina in this, they could have kept her in the show and bumped her up to the main cast, instead of giving the role to Marcy...
Great performance by both of them...but whoever is playing the piano needs to tone it down a bit. In some parts you could basically only hear the piano.
I love him, but i'm not a huge fan of his voice for this role, although i may be a bit biased because i have an unhealthy obsession with Chris Jackson... but Krysta is amazing, as much as i love Mandy i would never complain about seeing Krysta on instead.
I think the piano was fantastic.

"...Why is the pianist playing so loud, should I sing louder? I'LL SING LOOOOUUUDEEER."
F you pianist, you can barely hear the talent - egotistical prick..

The Pianist was playing way too loud...so loud that you could barely hear Krysta at the best part of the song.

@ actinggbug474 - you cant really tell whether its good or not cause the piano is overpowering the voices

I don't think he is bad, by any means ... I actually really like his tone.
But he does has major tuning problems. He's flat so much of the song that it majorly distracts me.
Actinggbugg474 2 years ago
yea i understand that. it was hard to make oout his voice cause of the piano...i could hear krystas better...lol
