Gareth Gates sings Empty Chairs at Empty Tables on Alan Titchmarsh show

[jagcf]

oh this is just great! He has matured since "Anyone of us". He is man now...;)

[cupcakebex567]

Amazing performance. Saw Gareth quite a few times as Marius and each time he was amazing. Not seen Les Mis with anyone else playing Marius but I think Gareth would take a lot of beating.

[drhalsall]

I only really got to know Les Mis after I had lived in New York and knew around 60-70 people who died of AIDS. For me Les Mis just portrayed all that despair, that fight against bad luck, the sheer joy of rejecting oppression, and the sorrow of loss. For me it is one of the most Christian stage events possible.

But one song cripples me emotionally. I miss New York, but there are so many places there I could not go (Julius Bar for example) without this song kicking in.

[TrojanBad]

He has a great voice, I thought he was better than Will Young, better range, I VOTED U GARETH.

He has done better than Will now.

[JayJayLee959]

why he wasn't picked for Marius in the 25th i will never know

[emadadelwanis]

Really great face, voice. Bravo.

[vintagebella1]

wow he sang it beautifully and with so much emotion. =]

[mattyhodg1]

At first I wasn't sure about this, but now...DAMN that was sweet.

[JeffUK]

probably a bit too emotional, but much better than I expected

[isorkin100]

who is this guy

[xKaraAnnJx]

When I went, he wasn't on :( He sounds awesome! Craig Mather, the current Marius and Him are about as amazing as each over, so worth going to see!

O: ......... :D

@pianoplayer0016 Dude, I understand if you don't like this performance - everyone has their preferences - but if you can't hear the vibrato in this then I have no idea WHAT you're listening to, or perhaps what you think vibrato is. He certainly uses it A LOT. Also, having seen him live in Les Miserables, I can tell you he certainly gets into character.

[Ah4fecksakemoira]

his breathing is a bit much....? He is very good tho

[dpcon1994]

i saw les mis in the west end... and he was brilliant.. it has to be said..

[milothebeagle08]

he can really sing but like his facial expression is funny

[SuperFTD83]

Saw Gareth perform @ Edinburgh & he gave a tremendous performance but I still believe that Michael Ball was the best Marius, then again it is an unenviable task trying to emulate him.

[jpg0901]

@SuperFTD83 There's no doubt that Michael Ball is the one true Marius, but I don't think Gareth should try to emulate Ball, he should just be himself...it's good enough for me :)

[hnoel1987]

i love him as marius. I like how he sounds younger then michael ball and older then nick. He sounds like the age marius should be.

[jpg0901]

@hnoel1987 I agree...never gonna get used to a tenor in this role, but I still agree...he's def the right age...

[RRavenclawsDiadem]

@hnoel1987 agreed :)

[zalitees]

So moving. Les Mis is simply the BEST musical by a mile. An incredible story with such amazing songs.

[VIKINGBLONDIE18]

Now that is a performance

[wolfart2003]

@FallingUpStairsDPK

i've just heard it. It's really impressive. Great performance and voice but I think Gareth's performance is quite better.

[MCampbell1996]

@wolfart2003 everyone's entitled to their own opinion

[Robbinz100]

he sings it well, but he looks like a dick when he's doing it

[DshankumMusic]

Nick Jonas is amazing when he sung this.

[Kymberlyyy]

i think gareth is amazing. i went to see the show back in february and was suprised when i saw that he was in it. i still remember him as the shy kid from pop idol so i was a ltitle worried, but when he was on stage and singing i just had goosebumps. the entire cast of this show is incredible and i cannot wait until i go and see it again!

[MoreCarlie94]

He sings with so much emotion its great :). I wish I could go and hear him in person. And he is waaaaaay better than nick jonas.

[TheScw22]

I saw Gareth play this role in Manchester on the tour, he would have made a much better Marius in the 25th Anniversary Concert, a million times better than Nick Jonas (just my opinion)

[YorkshireKatie]

Just love this performance, you can so see that he's not just singing the song, it's almost like he's acting it out too.. like I image he would do in the show. Such an amazing performer!!

[thunderbush1]

Fantastic. 5 stars!

The best performance of Empty Chairs I've ever heard.

[jackiechamberlain]

[sarahjanemom]

[cudiafan]

[alicia297]

[GreenLife182]

[Debbie2]

Absolutely beautiful performance. Best I've ever heard Gareth sing it.
