Stars- Les Miserables- Blake High School

[themillenia]

Gosh, I think I'm in love with you.

[themillenia]

@themillenia Geez, I'm coming back to this comment realizing how creepy it is. More professional comment, awesome performance.

[LPXDproductions]

really good man way better then my high school's production

[OperaVince]

Awesome! Great young voice. Singing into the line, using the breath, etc. Thank you for not trying to "act" your way through this. You used your technique, made a nice sound, and let the voice (and music) carry the line. I'd love to hear what you sound like now.

[Mistophoenix]

This is amazing! It really stinks that in the high school versions of Les Miserables the first verse of 'Stars' is cut. Oh well, you're fantastic!

[heartlandcutie13]

Freaking amazing. The acting, the singing, EVERYTHING. Kudos. :)

[HUSHhushOFFICIAL]

@potterama Check out APA's (Academy for the Perfoming Arts at Huntingon Beach High School). Another extremely superb production performed by high school students. The vocal talents of the entire cast is excellent, and Javert's "Stars" was performed by a Sophomore!

[potterama]

I was reading comments on another video in which the poster argued that highschoolers simply weren't talented enough to take on heavy-duty musical theater such as Les Mis. You are a fabulous counterexample.

[Ace5846]

You maybe just a High school student, but your one of the best Javert's I've ever seen. I love how you did the actions as well as the singing in Javert's Suicide. The handcuffs were an great touch.:)

[promptersbox]

Great instincts. Darn good. Work hard!

[ianmickeyni]

Tremendous! Well done :)

[singsongfly]

very good job!! too bad the trumpets were kind of out of tune around 1:07.

[mysticalspirits]

this is amazing, probably one of the best high school performances of this song I've seen so far :] the last few lines gave me chills!

[nvieira100]

Outstanding young man, simply outstanding! Your voice is superb, especially for someone so young, and you portrayed the character very well. Your articulation is spot on, especially from the mid-way point onwards. Someone put a comment about not feeling the emotion. I don't know why because you had got it absolutely right! I hope you continue with a musical/acting pursuit. I think you'll be great!!! Hope to see you on Broadway one day soon! :) Good luck!!

[goldtwilightfan]

You are really good you should have been jean valjean ( I think that's how u spell it) unstead of javert but javerts a good part too

[dralf2020]

Excellent!

[alexandrachernyshova]

nice, I like it :)

simply beautiful voice and and emotions.

greetings

[Algamest]

Don't get me wrong, you have a great voice, it sounds great, but you look very stale, and i don't feel the emotion that this song should survey, sorry :(

[KelliSings]

how beautiful. This was always my favourite part of the show, so it's nice to see someone do it right :)

[WhoaItsJonathan]

I saw this production, but I'm pretty sure I saw a different Javert, because the Javert was my mom's neighbor as a kid's son and I'm pretty sure that's not you.

[toniflgulf72]

i so enjoyed your performance. i had to look up blake on you tube ,because my daughter just started this year. she is so excited, i am as well ,now even more than before . my daughters name is marilyn levins.maybe you have met .she is a great girl. look forward to seeing more.

[childofhollywood]

this is beautiful!!!! you are amazing in this part :)

[potofgold321]

so gooooood

if you do any more theatre, you should post some more videos

keep up the good work!

[really12345]

Could you sing some journey please

[Melensko]

on your last staaarrrss! you should have climbed to the g... well i think its a g. it would have sounded awsome... maybe you weren't allowed but you should have done it anyway

[slickPace92]

the last stars stays exactly the same as the "this i swear by..." it doesn't climb up

[Melensko]

but... i am mearly saying it would have SOUNDED good... epecially since i know he can pull it off... i know its not written that way

[tiernan87]

it really doesn't sound good. i've heard it that way by some trying to show off, and it really just makes you go "really? whatcha ya doin' there???"

[Melensko]

Well... he could do it because he has a good voice and it wouldn't be showing off. Opinion is opinion and I am entitled to mine.

[CervarianMusic]

The Rhythm... that and the over emphasizing of words are really the two things that sort of unnerve me with this performance. Of course after listening to Philip Quast do it anything would, really. Overall very nice, good tone quality.

[beto98]

you are pretty goood!!!!! i wish i could accompany you with my piano someday

[Theres0A0Wolf]

i dont think it is masculine enough for Javert, but a very very nice out of character voice

[MossfloweRussa]

Wow!

[PrincessGrace85]

you are really amazing

[Chopstew449]

Damn, Best youtube video i have seen for this song

[mecarter03]

I saw this show! It was the only high school production that actually made me cry!

[FutureLovett]

YAY!

[alexanderleewang]

[alaskangirl]
