AMERICAN IDIOT (Broadway Cast) - "Whatsername" [LIVE]

[toni90]

one of the best Green Day songs mastered by the greatest cast broadway has ever had

[jenniferfeliciano66]

@crazyforcrunch88 he escaped instead of dying and came to america,was taken in by a woman called mom and brad made friends went to the city,got on drugs,met whatsername,and came back,staying smexy in the process :)

[crazyforcrunch88]

MORITZ!!!!! you're alive

[MrAteam8]

i wish i had this guys singing voice so bad

[Bl20]

I just saw them in Chicago yesterday! They were amazing.

[The29thStreet]

it would be a lot better if he wasn't wearing guy liner

[anders6836]

i mean they are awesome :D

[anders6836]

I know they are putting inner thoughts to the songs. mabye that is why we are so freaking awesome :D

[halian97]

i love how everyone starts headbanging at the same moment

[anders6836]

it looks like he's having a hard time singing the song

[ui264]

@anders6836 The reason is because they're reinterpreting it more as someone's inner thoughts rather than a song while still keeping it a song.

[thatgreendaygirl]

Can't wate I'll see u in Cali

[therealkuzokun]

Turn around! She is right there!

[ncisforever15]

theo stockman is crying 2:46

[007greysgirl]

@ncisforever15 oh my god!! i NEVER noticed that!!!

[admiralflynn895]

it's a funy coincodence that he's singing about whatsername the character and rebecca naomi jones(Super Hot) plays the whatsername character and is singing with the others

[MyRockMySocks]

Right at the end he looks as if he's just about to smile <3



[Masha29]

saw it 3 times in Toronto, 1st row for the final one... SO GOOD

[IWillBeHers]

Seeing the tour cast next Friday! :D

[funmonkey68]

SHES RIGHT BEHIND YOU BRO!

[kko123100]

and in the darkest night

[milkshaker111]

fuck yes. Front row tickets to see these guys in october. been a greenday fan for. EVER. can't wait.

[shymonstersinc]

i am soooo lucky i saw this live in Canada the show was mind-blowing!

[diamond19971]

their making a movie in 2013!

[Roobimonly]

I think this is the most beautiful song I've ever heard :')

[MELstolethestage]

I don't think amazing vocal ability is the point of this character... But John G Jr... Honestly, he's perfect for this part. His non-perfectness is what makes him so easy to watch and so relatable. AND if you've seen Spring Awakening, you know he was cast for his performance overall, not just his singing.

[angelamarizze]

This song doesn't fail to give me goosebumps.. :))

[in16293]

I hate his voice. But the rest are better than him

[InuTre]

i just dont like his voice here :/!!

[Nessylikesstuff]

Green Day, Billie Joe can sing.

American Idiot, this twat? Nada.

[iFuzzable]

u say Justin Bieber I say Green Day

u say Bruno Mars I say Green Day

u say Lady Gaga I say Green Day

u say Miley Cyrus I say Green Day

u say T-Pain I say Green Day

u say Rebecca Black I say Green Day

u say Jonas Brother, I say Green Day

u say Flowers. I say Green Day

92% of teens have turned to pop and hip-hop.If u r part of the 8% that still listens to greenday copy and paste this message to 5 other green day videos. DONT LET GREENDAY DIE! thumbs up if you agree

[findthecomputerroom6]

i hope they release this on dvd cos im in england and i cant go and see it :(

[polar12348]

@findthecomputerroom6 Theyre coming to the uk in winter/autum 2012 :)

[findthecomputerroom6]

@polar12348 :D

[henm200000]

they copy from green day

[59feer]

@henm200000 what gave it away, the part where they're singing a song by them or how they're the cast from the Broadway show called American Idiot

[drklenk]

Goosebumps!

[lrkluvvy]

the face that he makes on "whatshisfaaaaaace"

[NienerWiener69]

3:53 cutest smile ever

[SK8RPWN1]

I love this musical <3

AND GREEN DAY <33333

but not t-pain...he's a poser...stupid rap

ROCK ON FOREVAH <3

[vanillayoga1563]

The cello player looks like Tina Fey....

[joechema]

"forgetting you but not the time" it sounds so gay in this guy voice

[TheTylerKauffmanShow]

so sad they arn't gona show this any more :( i was born a couple of years to early

i hope if they dont keep making shows they will make like a musical movie or something

[northernedge33]

@TheTylerKauffmanShow they re making it a movie

[TheTylerKauffmanShow]

@northernedge33 when

[haylin547]

@TheTylerKauffmanShow they're actually making a movie based the musical, it's supposed to come out sometime in 2013 :)

[richf2000]

@haylin547 And I cant wait until the realized date.. I hope the movie is as good as the musical

[elliejayyy]

just no.

[matiasfacu007]

IMPRESIONANTE.....

[GabrielFMayer1]

Forgetting you, but not the time

[LionHeartiano]

billy joe in the shadows!

[HOCIDE1993]

@LionHeartiano Billie!! Billie Joe!!

[LionHeartiano]

@HOCIDE1993 the best guitar man ever!

[Doppleable]

WHATSERNAME IS RIGHT BEHIND YOU FUCKING IDIOT

[crazypoundpupp]

Jgall does brooding SO well.

[admiralflynn895]

@crazypoundpupp what's brooding?

[StefaneeWho]

this song makes me cry :"( L

[richf2000]

I know that american idiot is going on tour. I hope the actors that they hired is as good original actors.

[PuckleberryFaberry]

john <3

[koreanphsyco]

all gallaghers are talented! theres noel, liam, then john here



[Alma7381]

aowwww John Gallagher :'(

you move me

[OakRidgePunk777]

I like the album version better. and I'm surprised Broadway lets singers breathe between phrases like that.

[SammieRaeTV]

@SurferBoyLover we r already married, sorry(: I met him TWICE this summer at the jesuralem stagedoor!!!!!!! he's the sweetest guy EVER! I couldn't speak the first time so I went back and sed I'm his #1 fan and stuff and he shook my hand and sed nice to meet u and then we took a pic and HE PUT HIS ARM AROUND ME!! :D

[ILuvBillieJoe2004]

@SurferBoyLover @007greysgirl you are both wrong he is going to marry me XD i have liked him for a long time

[ILuvBillieJoe2004]

for all you who think John Gallagher Jr. is St. Jimmy he isn't his Character's name is Johnny... Tony Vincent is St. Jimmy Johnny's Dark Alternate Ego and drug Dealer

and Tony Vincent DOES NOT HAVE EMO HAIR and he probally has a better voice then all you assholes who are saying shit about his hair

[CheezyAnimationsInc]

this is comparable to "Kidz Bop"

[bergonboy8]

@CheezyAnimationsInc no its not stop hating

[007greysgirl]

@SurferBoyLover :D 

[TwilightVamp13Club]

good version, but i know about one 21 years old guy, who can sing it better...

[Thecodi55]

excuse my f'*d up entry below... it's after 3:00a.....gotta go to sleep lol! G'Nite my favrorite American Idiots on this sad Sept 11th 10 yr anniversery!

[Thecodi55]

I think he's good in the part....I 'm always re-visiting his site cause it's a godd and interesting take on

I like John Gallagher in the role myself. I revisit this site to hear this great and different version.

[NorwaysSuburbia]

Is it just me, or is John Gallagher jr completely wrong for the role? His voice especially. Hes got a boy band voice... xD No offence people.

[ILuvBillieJoe2004]

@NorwaysSuburbia GO WATCH HIM IN SPRING AWAKENING then complain about John's Voice

[NorwaysSuburbia]

@ILuvBillieJoe2004 Im sure hes a talented singer.. but I still think his isnt strong enough to sing those songs. It isnt bad, its just not even half as good as Billie joe. I mean, hes a good singer, but I think he doesnt fit in as "st.jimmy".

Understand? XD Hehe

[ILuvBillieJoe2004]

@NorwaysSuburbia his Character isn't even St. Jimmy.....his Character's name is Johnny St. Jimmy is Tony Vincent and in the show St. Jimmy was Johnny's Dark evil alternate ego so St. Jimmy and Johnny are two different people in it (i have seen this show 5 times)

[NorwaysSuburbia]

@ILuvBillieJoe2004 Okay xD Lol I havent seen the show before. But I still think his voice is too week :P

Just my opinion ;)

[TumblingDice21]

what a commercial thing

[KattjaNOR]

I LOVE this song but i don't like John's voice...

[AllTheGleeYouNeed]

Total lady boner

he's sooooo sexy :)

[007greysgirl]

soooooo...hot..... God!!!! Why is John Gallagher Jr. soo perfect????

[007greysgirl]

@SurferBoyLover noooo!! he needs to marry me!!!! :)

[Dsuperman102]

The drummer looks kinda hot at the end

[mullacABC]

this is a beautiful version of a very powerful song

[eisnergurlzz58]

JOHNJOHNJOHNJOHNJOHNJOHNJOHNJO­HN<3<3<3<3

[Paky242]

muy buenn videoooo!!!!!!

[SuperPhiloSophia]

i bought the CD saturday, i thought it was all by billie joe armstrong. first i was surprised, but now i L.O.V.E.

some new versions of the songs are beautiful.

maybe better then the original..?

[1stBurningPhoenix]

@SuperPhiloSophia I wouldn't say better but it's different than the original^^

[SuperPhiloSophia]

@1stBurningPhoenix ..that's for sure! ;)

[Lorenzodibari]

@SuperPhiloSophia Only Green Day are better than original :P

[yeslyannzurc]

@SuperPhiloSophia i actually do love some of these versions better too!

[lastofthelapras]

The cello in this is heartbreaking. A+ for appropriate use of cello in a rock opera.

[dizon96]

2:10 holy shit look at that dude's leg go! hahaha

[biohazardkid07]

@dizon96 Totally I was like....huh? he loves to move! LOL

[Renji6161]

why they cant speak the words like Billie Joe... really i hate when that happens 

[lrkluvvy]

the face he makes at 1:23 <3

[the0rocks]

The first singer sucked dick. i know he can do better than that, he's a singing beast

[jordan88777]

I honestly could never imagine there actually being a green day musical. I mean they're amazing and totally deserve it but this is just so random.

[toxicredcarter]

there is so much intensity with these guys, it really emphasizes the meaning of the American Idiot album. I love everything about it.

[TheJohnny990]

original is better

[Vladix99]

forgetting you but not the time

[dudleyolliepower]

They have so much angst/anger when they say "face". It's all like, "I wonder if she ever married old whatshisFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCC­CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCE.". xDDDD

[EpicKKRFan]

I really love everything about this and the show but honestly John's voice, it just doesnt fit it. I like him otherwise outside of American Idiot, but his voice just doesnt adapt well to the Green Day

[fnabrooks32]

i bet Mr. Bieber's jealous Green DAy got their own broadway musical

[Philosphyfanatic]

I met John a few weeks ago when I saw Jerusalem! He's really nice in person! This is going to hopefully be the first song I master on piano!

[vnzlaGrecxon]

._.? wtf!!

[Kathaspeterthedino]

They said "FACCEE" wierd:D

[SEGEV1888]

ישראל israel

[AdamEfimoff]

@SEGEV1888 yud shin alfa lumid

[MegaloMegaMan]

Why is the bassist using a pick?

[hardkandy91]

@MegaloMegaMan

picks can sound good for the right type of music

[MegaloMegaMan]

@hardkandy91 I suppose you know more about bass then I do. I have a brother who plays, we're in a band (I'm guitarist/singer) and he enforces the point that any bassist who uses a pick hasn't learned right.

[hardkandy91]

@MegaloMegaMan its not the proper way to play.but you can get a really this heavy sounding base

its sounds awesome playing punk,hardcore,crust or some thrash song

im not a bass player.just trying different things

just to find that perfect heavy sounds you know

cmon its not like im the only one who did this right?

haha

[Epicsinger]

Love the ending with the girl right behind John G. looking at him...

[GarrettandGreenday]

*Sigh*

They'll never be as good as Green Day, but it's all that we've got. Nothing can compare to Billie Joe's voice.

[greendrocks]

@GarrettandGreenday i was thinking the same thing...i keep comparing them to green day, and im disappointed.

[sempiternamisantropa]

WTF???? What's this???? GD is best!

[L0velyCharMing]

@sempiternamisantropa American Idiot.. Doh!!

[XxlololalalexX]

Best one in that album :D

[batmanRisen08]

The show won't be as good without the original cast. A year wasn't long enough, I wanted to see them one more time, but nooo!

BITCHES BETTER BE COMING TO CHICAGO!

[mrpotatoman1001]

he has an awesome jacket...

[mrpotatoman1001]

i saw American Idiot on broadway /w billie as St. Jimmy, but john wasn't in it it was Van Huges. :( (but it was still awesome) :)

[100milarcoiris]

Someday ♪

[SammieRaeTV]

@jonin276 I don't think it's a lisp, but maybe a slight accent, he's from delaware. anyway, can't wait I'm seeing him in jerusalem!! and I'm SOOOOO excited for the movie!! they've decided it comes out in 2013 and billie joe will play st jimmy!!

[MecabreMenace]

I actually prefer the cast version of this song than Green day's, feels like it has more depth, but i'll never forget you GD for life (L)

[s9506597z]

wtf is this shit ?

[Spongesponger]

@s9506597z You're slow.

[nicksgirl303]

@s9506597z wtf is effing wrong with you,you best have meant this as some of "good shit"

[DarkGuitarKid]

See how John when trying to act like whoever he is tries to imitate Billie Joe's facial expressions? Billie is ST JIMMY

[jonin276]

He has a bit of a wierd accent that I can't seem to place.. But, this is amazing. Just... Beautiful.

[Soccerfan217]

@jonin276 I don't think it's an accent-I think it's a lisp actually. A slight one but he slightly lisps his words. It happened when he was in Spring Awakening-he hit himself with a mike in the face and broke 2 teeth so it makes him lisp.

[nicksgirl303]

@jonin276 i don't get that accent crap,WHAAAATTTTT,but your heart's in the right place=)

[LeonardAnthonySilver]

epic song

[mclovin2780]

@2:37 EPIC SHOT! Looking into the sky like he is actually thinking of somebody while a bunch of friends sing an awesome song

[mcfoodledoodle]

Not as good as Green day, but good i guess. Billie has a better voice still xxx Love u for ever Billie xxx

[99Kriegsminister]

forgetting you, but not the time!

[Zanries]

Thumb's up if you can't see the FUCKING dislike tab!

[Janetta92993]

JOHHHHHHHHHNNNN GET IN MY PAAAAAANTS!!!!

[HappyThoughtsToU]

[Emmmma2703]

this is so beautiful, <3

[ell0mynameis]

i miss this show already...

[imawesomeasfcuk]

he's hot! love him! i love the Green Day version....and this one made me love it even more! ^_^

[ShLinGyPoPsIcLes]

The arrangement is pure beautiful.

[TaschaGreen]

Neben Too much too soon mein lieblingslied von dem Musical. Love it

[94moonpie]

wow, they cannot sing at all...

[sgh95]

@94moonpie are you death or something?

[toxicredcarter]

@94moonpie What the heck are you talking about? their voices are crazy good!

[JaganboyReborn]

@MsFlute13

I mean the new guy did okay just I felt like he didn't have that same spark of energy ya know?

[NarutoUzimaki159]

this was my favorite song they did at the play... it's so beautifully arranged

[GreenCastro21]

I want the movie look like Jesus of Suburbia's clip

[christian1o812]

@GreenCastro21 yea and jimmy shud have spikey hair not this fuckin gay emo hair

[MG21749]

i like the new guy who replaced john better, his voice is better :)

[stealthybean]

omg it comes to dallas texas next may 8-28 OMG IM SO EXCITED

[DearPrudence5678]

John Gallagher Jr. looks damn good in eyeliner. Me gusta.

[ILuvSpringAwakening2]

I miss John he is the only johnny to me

[xlebyx]

i HATE living in England, i cant go see it!! D:

[MrPartypoison11]

one of the best performances i've ever seen

[haushinkagreen]

is gonna be a DVD or something with this musical?

[jenniferfeliciano66]

i love this song. It can be awesome but it can bring you down to your knees at the same time

[GreysonAsmus]

gotta love a guy who wears eye liner(:

[haushinkagreen]

@GreysonAsmus yeah, they look great with eyeliner

[MrTimeofyourlife]

every 1 gotta give thumb for this guy and this video he sings really cool.

wish bille joe was inplace of him it would amazing but i don't mean any wrong to this guy he is good

[southernbellgirl]

So for the past 3 days i've raped the replay button ;)

[southernbellgirl]

So this gives me chill bumbs :) <3

[MissChuckAlmighty]

OK, so my friend Samantha got me watching this now. After a debate about old/new Green Day (my opinion stands on that, do not try to debate with me, please), I didn't think I would like it very much because I love my old Green Day a little more than my new Green Day. I must say that I do like this very much, and I wish I could do what they do! >.<

[sckob123]

@MissChuckAlmighty yay!!
