@EYDstudios there is literally no way to help comparing performers. everyone does things differently, and one of the greatest things about theatre is comparing the various performances and deciding which you like most. theyre different, and that leads to even more comparison. YOU STUPID.
I don't think it's right to compare performers at all. They're different people with different takes on the characters and the songs. They have their own ideas of how they want to portray their character. Vocally they are different, different ranges, different inflections. THEY'RE DIFFERENT! GET OVER IT!
Nick Jonas? Hahahaha, that was amusing. He gave a gallant go at it, but he is NOTHING compared to Michael Ball in terms of power and acting. Those days on the Disney channel clearly did nothing to train him for anything of this magnitude. Ramin Karimloo was in a word AMAZING. I love that man. He can do no wrong by me. ::dies::
@JoeJonasLover989 Haha you think that's acting?? That's just my point. He doesn't do anything but stand there with no expression except that smug look on his face. That's all I see in every clip! It's hard to watch him. Marious was being teased in this scene. Even Michael Ball did a little chuckle and "acted' a little bit embarrassed at this scene. What would you do? It's so elementary. The others were great tho, esp Ramin Karimloo!
I find it interesting that people bash on Nick because he's a pop star but in my opinion he did a great job. His voice is great. Sure not as great as Micheal Ball but he definitely impressed me. Which is amusing because I saw him and I was like "Uh oh. This won't reach my expectations at all" but he truly did a good job. And this is in the opinion of someone who's been singing and all that for years.... I have very high expectations lolz. He did good.
Ok people I am coming to Nick's defense. You all say he is soso or even dare I say terrible but you are all a bunch of jerks yeah his voice maybe more quiet than the others but can still hear clearly. In my honest opinion Nick was perfect for the role of Marius and he plays it so well.
@jesusthroughmary Agreed, but Enjolras is actually considerabley older. If I remember from the book correctly, he was about 27 or 28 where as Marius was closer to about 20. So this is actually a good fit.
@navyam1992 Actually Marius was about 20 and Enjolras was 22, but looked 17.....hehe, sorry for my Dorkyness...It just shows itself sometimes (plus I'm re-reading the brick and just passed that part, but whateverd)
nick did such a wonderful job as marius!!! also we don't know why but we keep cracking up at the person who picks their ear at the end and the guy who says "ooh and aah"
I like Marius watching Enjolras when he's shaking his head in disgust. Had Marius heard him sighing? He seems to pray in silence Enjolras would interfere the teasing song. He couldn't count on the other's who were just laughing.
Grantaire sounds great here! And Nick Jonas is a better, younger Marius. But my favourite stays Enjolras. That guy might not sounds as nice as Michael Mcguire (original cast), he surely has the same strenght in his voice.
Loved Ramin and Nick together :) -hey ppl, give him a rest, I've already heard bad Mariuses and he is not one of them, he is pretty good actually, you are just annoyed because he is a pop star, but he already was a musical singer way before the Jonas Brothers, who are really good too, stop, he was chosen to play Marius, so what? Deal with it !
Ramin is sexy as always. Nick looks gooood... his performance was weak compared to these people who are trained to sing like this but i give him props for trying... sigh Ramin's voice...
Theatredrok - I totally agree!! I was disappointed they chose a pop star with a big name over a talented singer who could have done the part justice. He was the only thing I didn't like about the show. However, his name did bring in a new crowd and expose more people to Les Mis, so I guess at least that worked.
I pity Nick Jonas...every person standing on that stage was better than him and it showed. His voice was weak and others had to hold back so that he could even be heard. He was the only bad part of the performance...it was like a high schooler got thrown in with an amazing group of professionals.
@theatredrok Yeah I know. I feel sorry for him too in that aspect. :/ I mean he has a nice voice and could have probably have probably done well, but he's spent so long using it for rock music that he LOST all his music theater and opera training.
I have two theories as to why he got picked for Marius:
1. They wanted screaming Jonas Brothers fangirls to buy the DVDs.
2. They needed someone close to Samantha Barks' age to be Marius; NJ played Gavroche before, so they used him.
Nick should have been expressing passion here, telling people about this person that caught his attention & moved him like never before...hopeless romantic fool kind of, instead.he looked annoyed here. Nick should have worked as part of any Broadway chorus or ensemble...then slowly be part of the principal cast. I'll bet you he'll turn out better. PEACE!
@PinkCarnationProDux I don't know... I know there is a DVD coming out sometime towards the end of november, because you can pre-order it on play.com and i've already asked for it for Christmas. :)
