The Bathroom Series - Miss Saigon - Why God Why

[Holly24tm]

You should most definitely be on Broadway! Your vibrato is amazing! This is by far the best version of Why God that I have heard (and I have seen the stage show 5 times). I look forward to checking out your other videos!

[silverbooks]

1:59 <- skip to the song

[catchlightdame]

WOW, amazing!!

[edenambalaj]

İncredible great vibrato. How can you control your voice with such short distances when vibrating? İ can't do it that close when vibrating my voice? Any tip?

[proboi522]

umm... please tell me you're performing somewhere on stage like Broadway in NYC

[jaimeliberarte]

Awesome performance dude! I love this song and you rock singing it. I would like to try and sing it myself but dont have the instrumental base/karaoke version. Do you have it? Or do you know where I could download it from? Thanks a lot in advance and keep singing like that! ;)

[mjddoo]

I really love your voice.... this is great.... I have listened to it a dozen times....

[Finding1Song]

You are absolutely fantastic!!!

[larmhut]

I have seen the musical and you are as good or better than the Chris who was in Toronto with Ma Anne Diasonio! You sound more like the original Chris with Leah Solonga! Wow bro! Wish that you were here!

[yannickbisson]

Wow! You should be in a play now. :-)

[MJI773]

Wow, wow, wow - just stumbled upon this - you have an incredible voice!!!! I know this posting is from 2008 - are you singing at all now? You would be so successful on stage!

[rnrb04]

[larmhut]

Ah! U r too good dude for you tube,, you should be on broadway! You are also gorgeous, I wish you were here in Toronto, oh wow!

[yancyolwen]

Dude, you are so good! Seriously.

You have a talent, a God-given one.

[flomantha]

The ending gave me chills. It was perfection, this whole song was amazing. You have an incredible talent.

[andyzarbos]

Fantastic voice mate !! You have a beautiful gift :)  I love this song, and also recorded it in 1997, but posted it just some days ago. My recording only has piano accompaniment though :( If you happen to listen to it, I hope you enjoy. Keep singing bro ! :D

[mamamia30]

you must have lungs of steel, simply amazing voice and it's a priviledge listening to that, if you're not a broadway star yet you should start auditioning.

[bekeira]

I Think I Just Peed A Little (:

You're Very Good My Friend..

[valeriochang]

[iceicebaby92]

REALLY good!  but too much vibrato.

[homehealthcare]

he has nice vibrato.

[waynebrighton]

You have a UK fan club-it's all good.

[NYCroxmysocks]

it was really good,, but too much vibrato, and i agree less tension

[mrbroadwaydork]

You. Are. Amazing. Your vibrato gives me chills.

5*s and subscribing.

[Ekir75]

Amazing potential, but you're gonna wreck yourself unless you breath correctly and lose the tension.

[xaberz]

Wow, you're amazing! And not to mention really hot.

And even though you're not a Packers fan (Wisconsinite myself) I guess I can forgive you on that one.

[dolcevida72]

Wow! Thank you for that!

[monicaxix]

oooh. very good! so much potential here!

you should sing all the rent songs!! that would be amazing.

[evolutionized]

hehe gotta love the amazing acoustics of a bathroom :D the singing was incredible.. i got chills :D (i rarely get chills from youtube performances.. so this is a really good thing!! :D)

[bfrazier]

Excellent job, keep up the good work! Invest in a really quality mic maybe? We want to hear all the nuances the youtube can handle.

[shpantsboy101]

WOW!!!

Enough said!!! Fantastic, five out out five. Being a 17 year oldperformer myself and aspiring broadway performer, i truly appreciate this performance! I think i have a chance in musical theater and then i see performances like this and am blown away, and realize i have a lot more to do before im ready. 5 out of 5

[rhynod01]

you have an amazing voice mate. why? why arnt you performing? or are you.

[jpuma1]

[jpuma1]

[Sympathy1018]

Very nice, dude. I love Miss Saigon. This is one of my favorite songs from that musical.

P.S. I'm from Jersey too.

[Leighanne2kk]

just use expressions :)

[Leighanne2kk]

Fabulous voice, and for the people saying that singing in the bathroom isnt good, it actually is, especially if youve just been in the shower because of all the steam goes to the back of your throat that will turn into water sort of thing.. Well done to you!

I loved its.

I've got a show tonight, a variety one and some guy is singing this and he gives me the same goosebumps that i got watching you.

Keep singing.

x

[cutemoboy27]

[ImYourGreatestFan]

I am just learning this song as I get into musicals and your performance helps greatly in trying to get it right. After watching it many times now, I have changed my original opinion it is not just good, it is exceptional! Well done!

Thanks also for introducing me to Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole... another exceptional talent.

Looking forward to hearing future performances.

[lilbranadian]

They got the point...

I generally don't really like vibratos, but yours are just amazing!!!

I watched the musical live, it is pretty cool. I could definitly see you in the cast!

[ImYourGreatestFan]

Good rendition of a really difficult song. Is it the bathroom? :)

[jpuma1]

the bathroom sure helped, lol.

[COOLMAN293]

[sleeplacker]

Really good, and you make it look effortless. Please audition for shows, ok?! When I was a kid I used to sing this song and imitate Simon Bowman, haha. You gave me an idea for my own series... I'll call it The Basement Series because that's the best place to record in my house :)

[ronsamps]

[MusicalMedicine]

Okay, seriously, at the end you sound a lot like Patrick Wilson when he sings this...I really, really love that version out of every version I've ever heard, so...wow....wow,wow,wow...you get better all the time!!!!

[jpuma1]

i just watched the Patrick Wilson one. you know, i never thought i sounded like anyone, but i'm seriously starting to agree with you.

[MusicalMedicine]

So.WON.DER.FUL.

[Garry24]

i am always critical about amateur vids here. but hey man! U HAVE A FUTURE in Broadway!

[johneepixels7]

[herecomescompany]

RENT is closing! But hey, at least there's Spring Awakening which is somewhat RENT-ish :/ Oh! And I'm kind of obssessed with Miss Saigon but this is the first time I've ever enjoyed this song! Ahhh! Well done!

[jpuma1]

i still have to see Spring Awakening. everyone keeps talking about it.

[liongali]

[tsud123]

[ddi9]

[Quarkinator2]

People who sing in closets or bathrooms tend to sound better in terms of acoustics imho.

So more bathroom performances.

[payette]

[jpuma1]

thanks corey!

[ddi9]
