@kpasanski lets see you try and do that dance routine and not be out of breath, and how was Lea awful!? her voice didnt fail at all, even Jay Z was impressed, and I guess he knows more about music than you my friend.
@liverlad06 I agree i do guard and thats extremely nerve racking at times i cant imagine doing what they do on tv remebering all that stuff and doing it extremely well like they do its amazing
I feel sorry for Matthew. On Glee his character is one of the ones given the least oppotunities to sing and dance ( only 3 songs so far this season) yet here his talent is comparable to Lea who gets to sing alot.
@TheBroadwayDinosaur You mustn't have listened, the show glee has some broadway stars as its actors. Ie. Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison, Idina Menzel etc.
@RoyTaylorTV No I am aware of that, but Lea Michele sang Don't Rain on my Parade on glee, not on Broadway. It would make sense if she sang a song from Spring Awakening (well, if it was 2007), but she wasn't even in Funny Girl. I don't understand why they would have her sing that song.
@TheBroadwayDinosaur I am sure you have worked out, EVERYTHING is an advertisement for something. Lea sang "Don't rain on my parade" in Glee. She reprised it here as an advertisement for the show Glee. Simple as that. Also the fact that it is a well recognised song, and it is potentially her best LIVE piece.
@RoyTaylorTV Yes, I understand that, but I still don't think it should have been on the Tony's. They could have "advertised" an actual musical. I wouldn't say it was her best live performance either... I am a huge Spring Awakening fan...
I love this video!! Every time I watch it!! First time I watched it it was for Lea and Matt...but then I saw Laura Bell Bundy presenting and I almost died...love them all!!!
@yaystevie The hard part of the song is the beginning, where you've got to get out a lot of words really fast. That's where most people have trouble. Almost nobody (including Lea) even tries to hit the bottom note on putter and butter, as written.
:O She's human! I like Lea so much better than Rachel lol.. and they definately need more musical numbers on Glee! And Matthew is just awesome.. with his vests x3
Lol I love Jonathan's adoration when Lea sings for him <3 And well Will & Jada Smith hihi, I'm pretty sure they didn't take offence when she sang 'cinder' to Will.. because that's just petty..
Ughhh. Lea keeps breathing from her chest and it's so irritating. Hasn't she ever heard of DEEP (diaphragm) breathing? It's what a singer's supposed to do. X__X
WOW! Great Performances but I feel that the song Matthew did, didn't show his amazing vocal ability! And I love Don't rain on my parade but it was way too fast it was way better (tempo wise) when she performed on glee but then again it was a live performance and the audio can differ! But it was still really really good!
@tripledom123 ...wait are you serious right now? body mics...how do you think all broadway shows work? if you've ever watched a musical, you should've noticed that they aren't holding microphones...
@sadieviction Mostly you probably think that because you are so used to him in the role of a teacher on a television show. This is an entirely different medium of art, and he is very good at it, like you said. His true home seems to be the broadway stage-- an overall far more wonderful medium full of much more talented performers. Good comment, though, because I can understand where you're coming from.
Why is everyone picking on Lea? I'm sure she sings 10000 times better than all of you. She's a great singer. She may not be the best of all time, but probably no one in this generation is, so give her a break. Gosh.
@GiGixChaves She's a very good singer, but that's a really difficult song at the best of times. And live at the Tonys, where she probably didn't have many rehearsals, wasn't a good time to attempt it.
Wow. Lea is amazing! I'm a charice fan, and I love her to death because of her voice, but for those people who thinks charice is better than Lea, I don't think so, they are both equally talented, and both have different style of singing, so don't compare! I love Lea too! Lol
You people are such tough critics. This is such a hard song to sing, and sung by someone less talented it would sound like garbage. She at least made something out of it.
I was all prepared to hear her singing terribly based on the comments, but she wasn't that bad xD Better then I'm sure all of you could have done haha
I fully agree with you@Aphrophro , I love the expression as she moves from what is singing! but she was completely out of tune, could not refine almost all the notes! I think that may be the nervse or the acoustic did not help much, she really is very good musician and I don't think she sings like that ,live! That song it's really hard to sing!
God, I'm so disappointed. She souded incredible in Glee, and I actually loved her interpretation more than the original one, but that was really... Painful to hear.
I loved them bus Lea was about out of rhythm, I think...he voice was perfect, like always but I think she was a little late with the song. Well, she was great anyway...she can't not be great, I mean, just hear her voice :D
It's Not Mr. Shue It's Matthew Morrison.. CX
