Steven Booth sings Pasek and Paul's "Monticello"

[JesseDiAngelo]

He makes everything sound so effortless!

Great song, great performer, great job :)

[amdnovello]

Is it an actual usa city? Monticello here in italy means little mount. It's used here for places' names though

[RyanFishburn]

I have lived here for 7 years, and honestly. THIS PLACE SUCKS. We don't have a Rite-Aid but the greatest thing to happen to this town socially was the establishment of a Super-Walmart. It's that lame

[ewshooter]

Anyone else think he looks like Paul McCartney?

[barbunc]

Great Job Steve!!! Bravo!

[chloshmo]

Haha look at Justin at 3:56 :D These guys are legends.

[benjiboi91]

Benj sings it better and acts it 1000 times better. He's an absolute legend.

[ibmyp2]

Good job Steve! See ya at the New Years Party again this year! Hope you're doing good.

[Broadwaymusialzz]

does anyone know where I can find an Instramental or piano solo for this song?

[Swabby88]

@Broadwaymusialzz 4shared.com, if your still interested lol

[HappyDictator]

Goosebumps on every high note... :)

[leahlikesmusic]

why does he remind me of dana carvey?

[thetubkins]

Is anyone else impressed at how easily he nails those high notes? I sure am.

[broganfaidanton]

This is a great song but it drives me CRAZY how he mispronounces Monticello... the "c" should make make a "ch" sound... so it would be pronounced "Montichello"

[AndrooNooton]

You're obviously not from Indiana. I actually live about 30 miles from Monticello and we pronounce it just like he's saying it. Now, if you're traveling through Virginia and wish to see where Jefferson lived you would be seeing Monti"CH"ello. It drives me CRAZY how some people think they're the authority on pronunciation but really don't have a clue... : )

[ermiretrek]

@AndrooNooton Here, here! I'm not even from anywhere near Monticello, IN (I'm all the way up in NW Indiana by Gary), but just from seeing the commercials for Indiana Beach amusement park I know how its correctly pronounced. My hometown has the same issue with this, lol...

[benday01]

not when you're talking about the town.

[briannaanderson95]

OMGosh...S♥t♥e♥v♥e♥n is so amazing!!! But not only can he sing this song and be a perfect Joseph but he is also one of the sweetest guys ever! I loved working with him!!!

[monkeyzrule1313]

I love this song, and i also love "along the way" i can relate to both of them... i can't wait for more!

[matthewmaclellan]

All I would like to say is, at least the composers can play the accompaniment.

It annoys me to no end to hear piano players who can't play this song.

Sorry to be a snob, but really.

Good singing, obviously!

m

[Allshookup1]

matthewmaclellan i agree! i sang this in a concert and the tempo wasSO FAST and the pianist wasnt that good, but this is soo good and u need someone REALLY good to play this song

[taylorseymour]

it would of been Justin or Benj...

[MrPontiusPilate]

@matthewmaclellan

What's your malfunction maclellan? We have a problem?

[aurielorio]

i love this song! it make me happy just listening to it. =]

[hellohaze]

This has to be one of my favorite!

[DavidJMcCarthy]

I NEEEEEEEED this sheet music, and its not on musicnotes, or so i havent found it. help?

[theleadingplayer]

You can buy it from their website

[miketiek1]

what would their website be?

[fossegirl5678]

this song is so my life.

[ManhattanSonata]

This song was my life.  I got out, and so can you if you work really hard!

Fantastic writing....

[pinkprincesshottie]

This song is so beautiful and inspirational.

So glad this song is back up on youtube with Steven Booth singing! I really love his version! But of course MKC's is amazing too!

[FatBoyD46]

MKC is not amazing, he's rifftastic, and by rifftastic, i mean riff-terrible... just saying

[thegreyhorse]

eh, MKC sang the shit out of this song. I think Steven better portrays the heart of the song but if im not mistaken he was one of the first to perform it (if not THE first) both stand on their own right. i, for one, am grateful that the internet medium that exposes to us two vastly different performances. love em both!

[KarlSolenoidIV]

I didn't think I'd like it as much as I like Michael Kadin Craig's version, but he's pretty awesome.

[viewofsaturday]

OH my GOD i missed steven booth in edges videos SOOOOO MUCHHH.

[KenAndHoll]

[KenAndHoll]

[Alcazar1024]

[tonybear82]

at least... i used to be.

[Raziroth]

@Alcazar1024 Not at all haha. WIN!

[musicxlife37]

i am completely amazed by this song.

and by steven, what a range! totes loved it.

[BestArts]

Loved this - I'm always a big Steven Booth fan. It was fun to see Justin rocking out on the piano, too.

It's great to see you taking some control over your videos on YouTube. Next possible steps (in all your free time) - consider adding the following playlists:

1) Your favorite videos on YouTube that include one or more of you as singer / pianist / director

2) Your favorite videos on YouTube of people performing your songs - that don't include you

All the best, Kevin
