Love Who You Love - Stearns Matthews

[keepbeingPhat]

I first saw this video a couple of years ago and still revisit it frequently til this day. Wonderful, wonderful song and wonderful, wonderful performance.

[JoshGrobansLady]

I'm singing this in my voice recital tomorrow. :D

[kimjosephd]

three more outstanding abilities Mr. Matthews possesses: 1. He knows when to do legato, when to speak it. He knows the difference because he goes with what the lyric is demanding it the moment he sings it. 2. He chooses wonderful, unique repertoire. 3. He knows exactly what key to put the song in so it suits his voice beautifully. Fortuitously, his vocal range is similar to mine so I can sing along to a lot of his stuff without having to deal with transposition!

[kimjosephd]

I liked Mr. Matthews the most - if there is such a thing, because he is absolutely wonderful - in this concert. his sincerity shines through! (wonder how old he was at this point.) and his breath control was perfect, it allowed for the most natural kind of vibrato. exhilarating!

[EyeDClaire16]

this is beautiful. wonderful job!!!

[keepbeingPhat]

This is my favourite cover of this song ever! :D

[edwinbeats3]

I very much enjoyed that, thank you. I'm trying to decide between this song and 'Welcome to the World' for an assessment... What do people think?

[gandalfwannabe]

really wonderful work. thank you for sharing.

[StandandSing08]

Question. I Don't know if you took it at a faster tempo than I am, but when you read the music, Stephen Flaherty placed dotted quarter notes in specific spots. When singing thru, it really changes the meaning of the song when you follow the written rhythm. I was just wondering if you noticed the dotted quarters when you sang this? If so, mabye its just a faster tempo and i'm having trouble hearing them. But anyway, You sang it very well, by the way.

[strongandcalm]

What a lovely, honest, appropriate performance. Thank you, Stearns.

I've listened to this so many times. It is a beautiful song and you have an inspiring voice that does it justice. Keep the videos coming!

[BigBirdy100]

Loverly.

[swagger125]

this song was alright,

but to improve it you should try putting in some different voice qualities,

it is very plain!

[kevindnyc]

Absolutely gorgeous. Such a lovely voice.

[McDaidUSA]

you made me cry... the song is one of the best songs ever written and you sang it very well...

[singingkid]

[ksodders13]

gorgeous control over your voice

great job =-D

[jgargano03]

Sounds like a lyric baritone.... broadwayish sound.... pleasant sounding voice... I would like to hear what he sounds like doing an aria... or some german leider like standchen.

[EtrangerStranger]

You are adorable!

[musicfreak012]

[keepbeingPhat]

OMG this is amazing!! Seriously...I love it!! A really really great song.

[ykstevo]

Ok, I think I'm in love with you. Haha! Great job. Amazing.

[Drelnis]

just fabulous, you're also amazing on Nothing. I'm also eager to do stuff for my school, especially since we have so many productions around here.

Can't wait for your CD lol!

Hmm, did you get all those sheet music from a site or is it from the college, I'm dying to get my hands on some.

[keepbeingPhat]

what productions? You mean the easter and christmas and end-of-term?

You always say you would do stuff and at the end you don't do anything...like the MK stuff.

And the drama club.

Gosh.

[Drelnis]

- - that's because no one's actually doing it!

And being the singer I am - - I'd look stupid by myself on stage.

[homeydoc]

beautiful.

[Steveo15317]

jonnycatmeow....anyone can get sheet music to a man of no importance...i have it. its called amazon buddy

[insolence]

steve i'd like to know how u get the sheet music for THIS song specifically... cuz its liek a spcialized one thats not in the original production

[Johnnycatmeow]

Was this canned music or what? How did this persona get the backtracks (or sheet music) to A Man Of No Importance?

[gernzominelli]

There's a piano- you can see it. The vocal selections to A Man of No Importance are available.

[Johnnycatmeow]

Sorry, I'm so unobservant.

[402578408]
