Brian Stokes Mitchell - Being Alive

[LuciF9]

SO MUCH LOVE I CAN'T EVEN.

[musicuseit]

Is he still a baritone???lol he's doing some serious tenor stuff in here!

[puckhiggins]

I think Brian Stokes Mitchell has the most absolute gorgeous voice to ever exist. HOWEVER, this song has absolutely no passion in it and I really don't like the instrumental. It's way too light and happy. This is a very deep song, and I would have liked if Brian played that up a bit. Raul still delivers the best rendition of this song I've ever heard.

[pudgeuncle]

What a misguided version. Mitchell is a magnifcent singer and performer but this is downright horrid. The orchestration is so cruise ship.

[bwaygammagurl]

I think that this is a really good performance of Being Alive, but I think it lacks the tragic emotion of this song. I think the upbeat accompaniment is a clue that it's not supposed to have the sad feeling. Anyways, it was brilliant.

[klickenpod]

@bwaygammagurl i blame the arrangement, i think he'd make a brilliant bobby onstage, but this just... isn't giving of a sondheim vibe. I could hear this in a classy psychiatrists office :(

Oh my god! that was gorgeous. I've heard it before, but I forgot how amazing it was.

[digitalpretzel]

he's fantastic

[xXxHumpDeBump]

And I thought I love Brian Stokes Mitchell before...

[mtywilli]

The song is Grateful from this album and I personally fell over he is so awesome

[lovemusicsomuch2]

No mtywilli, I love this man's voice. He is indeed a talent for sure. I want to personally meet him. He was just on TBN, singing at the Crystal Cathedral sing a song of the beast in the manger singing to our Lord Jesus Christ, from there he had me at 'Emmanuel".

[dubbsakamelodee]

OMGOSH! How did I miss that?!?!

[mtywilli]

there is a song on this album I can't remember the name but it's some of his best work ever,ever,ever

[Pacabelle]

Deep, warm,romantic and modern version of Johnny Mathis.

[yellohcard]

his voice is amazing Im just not a fan of this interpetation of the song

[MellowCello84]

this version just makes me appreciate Raul Esparza all the more for the emotion and intensity he put in this powerful song. I agree that Brian Stokes Mitchell has a nice voice, but I really dislike this interpretation of the song.

[Dragonkittin]

He is honestly one of my favorite male singers... Where did he GET a voice like that!? They should make men with voices like this by the masses! On to Ragtime now, anyone? :)

[jcsundwall]

AMEN & AMEN. listen to this album with earphones with nothing going on but this out of the world voice and unbellieveable talent, and oh how dreamy is this out of this world man - and oh that voice!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sunrisesunset51]

Mm! This is so different from his usual style... but still wonderful. He has quite a formidable high range!
