Doesn't anybody else think this song has a darker meaning? This guy sounds like a crazy stalker and if you replace the words "I feel you" with "I'll kill you" it still makes sense. But what do I know? I haven't seen this movie in years :/
I want to kill this shitty singer so hard. SWEENEY TODD IS A FUCKING CLASSICALLY-BASED SHOW! You can't make a movie and have shitty light Hollywood singers in it that let the orchestra overpower them!
@Bub1029 Who says you "can't"? I hope you don't let ought to's and just's run your life, because they will slowly but securely bury your true self. Who cares what people do, nothing REALLY matters. If it brings people pleasure, how is that a bad thing? Personally, I find this to be a much "realer" and more touching version than by some streniously trained opera singer. This is how a kid would sing it in reality. If you like Pavarotti's Johanna better, then that's great for you.
@Danielnwa Hard to find it, but here's an example of what this song typically sounds like: /watch?v=_lQZzNJYQHc
The whole realism argument is an artificial idea that has been created by anal-retentive individuals. At the heart of entertainment is suspension of disbelief. No matter how "real" it is, the fact is that no man of this time period is going to sing a loving ballad he wrote by himself. That's just a romantic fantasy. The "you can't" is because the voice doesn't fit with the orchestra.
@Danielnwa While entertainment can be seen in many ways, there are some things that honestly don't fit with other things. A mixing of heavy and light might work in some recipes (Albeit very few), but it music the sounds don't mesh well, because the heavy will just overpower the light.
Also, as an addition to that whole realism thing. I also don't think that an early 20s male in early Industrialized London had access to light auto-tune body mics.
@Bub1029 Haha no he wouldn't have access to autotune and he would definitely not sing via it out on the street=D That's like a double(triple?) anti-realism image... And you've definitely got a point with the rendition thingy. I usually DO NOT like modern twists on classical compositions, but this case is different for me. I "feel it", I don't care so much about the aesthetical component here. I'm not so sure realism has much to do with my opinion here, it's about the heartfelt naive swagger...
@shmogiibear You have to see the musical, its a beautiful tale of a boy and girl who are in love but from afar because the girl is held captive by an evil man. all he is saying is that he loves her and wants to be with her and will do anything to get her. it isnt creepy at all
@TadaKiba what's that supposed to mean ??? i just don't scare easily with slasher films... i've seen alla 4 scream movies and i couldn't stop laughing.... :P but with psychological thrillers i sometimes get scared....
@TadaKiba hey! i'm not desensitized... i'm just mature and smart enough to realize that it's all just effects and that they spend more time and money adding scary effects than they do filming and paying the actual actors... and i do get scared with psychological thriller but slasher ones are way to edited...
His voice on this song is beautiful. I wish he would sing this to me all day long, I swear I would never get tired of it, even though my name isn't Johanna. I'm so jealous of Bonnie right now :(
I love his voice... But this guy in my class, totally blew him out of the water... The guy has an AMAZING voice. (Ps, i'm on my bf's account... just so you all know)

is it just me, or is he a stalker? "I'll steal you" "Do you think that walls can hide you?" "Even now I'm at your window" "I am in the dark beside you"...ITS CREEPY!
Do they think that walls can hide you? Even now I'm at your window... I am in the dark beside you, buried sweetly in your yellow hair... JOANNNAAA..."
~I always runaway with the boy I only know for about a day who sings about stealing me away to love me forever, even though he traveled with my mentally unstable father (who tried to kill me). :B
I looked u sweeney todd because i forgot the name benjamin barker and i looked at the wikipedia site. 0.0 there are more movies about this guy than i expected!!
I love this version so much more than the reprise. I mean, I love Johnny Depp and he's good but he kind of ruins the brilliance of Jamie Campbell Bower's voice.
NO.
BECAUSE THAT WAS ADORABLE
