This is how this song should be sung, BSM is just amazing with everything he sing , not only does he have an amazing voice, he is a great actor as well, He keeps great character throughout the whole song he just sells it. Its amazing.
@kingd095 I would guess that most people coming to this video, including me, do not know enough about conducting to evaluate the conductor. I am just curious. What is he doing wrong?
I guess people who like traditional Broadway showtunes tend to be older people, in their late 50s, like me. Therefore, something like this does not get a lot of youtube views because youtube is used primarily by younger people.. However, it still bothers me that this wonderful rendition of Some Enchanted Evening gets only about 5,500 views and something else that is mediocre to lousy (in my opinion) gets over a million views. Oh well.
Brian Stokes Mitchell is a great performer - with a powerful and resonant beautiful voice. He sings "Some Enchanted Evening" so perfectly it is amazaing. When I was a very young boy, I saw Ezio Pinza sing this song in the original production on Broadway. There is no contest. Brian Stokes Mitchell here, at Carnegie Hall, delivers a truly superior and memorable performance! Reba is lovely and endearing in this production as well. It is all just wonderful!!!
Brian Stokes Mitchell and Reba McEntire are so wonderful in this concert. His voice just makes you swoon. Reba is a very talented actress, but I'm sure it didn't take much acting to be swept away by his voice. I love that big sigh she does at the end of his song. Yep - that sums it up!
When a man and a woman sing a duet on stage, the woman usually blows the man away. This is an exception. Reba was stunned. Mitchell has the best American male voice of our time.
The composer was Richard Rogers, a great man simply because he could compose a melody like this.
@alnot01 I have heard that in the original production, Mary Martin was concerned that the male lead (I think Enzio Puzo) had such a powerful voice that he would drown her out in the duet parts of this song. Therefore, Rodgers and Hammerstein rewrote the song with the singers singing separately a lot more, with far fewer duets. So if that story is true, Brian Stokes Mitchell would not be the first man to blow the lady away
@ChicagoSouthDan Actually, I was thinking more of the earlier version of this song, in which it goes back and forth with them singing separately until they sing together briefly at the end. I had heard that orginally, there were a number of duets between the two of them.
He did do it justice. It was magnificent. It was on YouTube for a while and then disappeared. Every song from this production is on YouTube except THIS NEARLY WAS MINE, and I haven't been able to find it ANYWHERE.
I heard his version of This Nearly Was Mine, it's my absolute favourite version, but seems to have vanished from Youtube. Would like to find it myself...
@JanikaRiddell I have not seen it on youtube, but a friend of mine purchased the video of the entire performance for $20. I have seen just the CD advertised online for $12. You may also be able to purchase just that song as an mp3 download.

@hisbiscusrose999 : "Listen to Rozanno Brazzi...." He wasn't singing in the movie. The voice was Giorgio Tozzi, one of the best operatic bassos ever.

Amazing, but this (mostly) staged reading of South Pacific may be as good as it's ever been. With Reba and Mr. Mitchell being two of the reasons why.
