You're brilliantly talented. You deserve the theatrical career of your dreams. Hope Sondheim is forwarded your your Sweeney Todd. Once again, Bravo. You've got that Pavarotti genunine sweetness and impeccable talent that makes an international star. Always stay focused on what's important. You'll be amazed. Many blessings to you.
thank you your my idol.i'm from camden my self but now i live in phila pa and i just received at the age of 23 my high school diploma and now begin college on the 24th of may 2010 i say if i can do it so can you
Hm, over 300K views. Considering your play performances, what was the average audience size? How many times would you have to perform on stage to be seen by the same number of people? (And what if you subtract repeaters???) I know how you love math, hey. Great work, Craig.
Craig--Can't wait to see you do the WHOLE PLAY at the CAMDEN SHAKRSPEARE FESTIVAL. Great start with your Camden "Hamlet street soliloquy". It's a first and I hope not your last. You are "to be," NOT "not to be." And there's no question about that. Thank you, sirrah! You know THE BARD HIMSELF is s-m-i-l-i-n-g!
You're an inspiration to all young people who are out there trying to do something positive for themselves. Keep your dreams alive and you will definitely make it far in this world.
im a big fan of you as well as shakespeare, so i am really hoping that you will be doing more plays like romeo and juliet. thanks for the performances!
Craig, you are an inspiration to youth everywhere. Your words need to be heard by students in Newark, Philly, Patterson and any other city where kids only see the wrong way out.
I work with kids from an inner city school up here in Canada, and you are an example of why I do what I do. Keep going, and luck to you in whatever you do!
I really enjoyed your Hamlet. You're very humble and show humility by appreciating the viewers who have cared enough about a stranger to comment to him. Keep up the good work and never loose your humility.
I think we will see you in a lot of good things in the future. Keep it up, your delivery of shakespeare was exceptional. perhaps you should try tybalt or mercutio from romeo and juliet, your passion would suit both roles in my opinion.
Just wanted to say how glad I am to see someone promoting the artistic side of Camden. I wrote my thesis on the mural on 4th and Jasper, and was amazed and inspired by the beauty of the people in the Waterfront South community. Good luck to you!
One great thing about the Internet is that self-produced content like yours breaks down the monolithic image that we all have of inner cities -- as though everyone living there were exactly the same! Pretty ironic -- in the 1980s, the computer revolution helped get the message in to places like the Soviet Union, and now in the 2000's, it is helping get the message out from the neighborhoods. Keep it up!
Bravo, Craig! Let the creative, caring, smart, positive spirits among us come forward. The cameras are most often grabbed by "leaders" who want us to be fearful, to be fascinated by celebrities misbehaving, and to empty our pockets for meaningless possessions. You are a breath of fresh air in a stultifying environment. You made my heart soar. Down with NCLB! We are more than future corporate workers. Up with loving learning and exploring the beauty of humanity.
this is my first time listening to this and i am thrilled,,,this is sone good piece of art and i go all for u boy,,, i am an african and when a brother is playing it up,, i say give nothing but ur best ansd never think of rest,,,play up for ur name... keep it up
Craig, I agree with indiainmiami. You are very energetic and emotional at acting. However, it may be the case that with all the energy you are exerting, you tend to quickly speed through the lines. Try working on slowing it down just a bit and see how it feels.
I am glad students are aspiring artistically from Camden and I believe Youtube is a great start. I look forward to seeing you on Stage and or on Screen sometime soon.
Brilliant my brother absolutely brilliant. Continue to inspire others in your community. True if we look hard enough we can find negativity, but if we look just beyond that we can see the beauty of the human spirit as in unfolds. God's mighty blessings to you and all that you do. PEACE!
Yes, Craig, good things come out of Camden and you are one of them. Keep your head on straight and you'll be a role model for your lifetime. Regarding Hamlet, your diction is almost perfect. Slow up just a beat...just a hair..without losing the passion. You are truly talented.
your a role model for the rest of the unfortunate majority of the African-American population. I ain't be racist, its what facts tell me about the crime and drugs etc that plague your community. Hopefully people will start appreciating what a great country you live in and the opportunity you have. Its good to see one smart kid out of the lot.
Despite all the negativity portrayed on the tv, regarding celebrities and their crazy diversions. It is a breath of fresh air to come in here, and see true talent like yours, Craig Bazan, shine through. By sharing your time on youtube with all, you pass on inspiration that covers us all. You have proven a rose can grow among weeds.
Craig, you are the shiznit. Can a white nerd say that? You are the shiznit! I am so relived to see intelligence come out of youtube rather than meaningless blatherings and midless banter.
I WANT TO SAY THAT YOUR AN INSPIRATION AND I AM SO GLAD THAT YOUR MAKING A DIFFRENCE!!!!\
