"The Flesh Failures"

[cynthiawaibel]

I love this then the fact that they did Hair this year. Both amazing renditions!!!!

[macdiddyism]

Hmmm....



[ClausAngeloh]

Awesome :) So different from the original, and that's not necessarily bad. Kudos.

[aaronbro6162]

wow this song is very hauntingly beautiful

[diva2007jchoriki]

I spent 6 months playing Woof in HAIR and the whole message of the show is to open your minds and love everyone for who they are... Every group that performs a piece will add their own soul to the piece... This may not have been the vision of the "original" production but from an artistic point of view I really like the concept it's groovy and it's all about peace and love anyway! Let the sunshine in otherwise we live in a dark and negative world!

[somethingswicked]

There is no depth behind this performance. You completely missed the point of the song. Shame. And I'm not even gonna bother commenting on that awkward writhing dance thing they're doing. They look spastic.

[ClarifyEht]

Hater's gonna hate. It's a good song, dammit!

[GirlCalledMike]

wow. i wish i could have been part of that.

[terpguy84]

Sounds god, but it doesn't have the emotional time to it that you get when you see it sang about the war

[Tamivagyokkapjalbe]

oh God, I love it! not the choreography, just the voices. incredibly beautiful!

[soccersprincess]

Sound = phenomenal.

But like, idk - this is a song that doesnt have as much meaning when its out of its context and like...yeah i didnt care for the "choreography" at all. But you guys really did sound great.

[Mwansahh]

Sensational!

[SolidGold1980]

nice legs on those girls

[tptagth]

Awesome! Thanks for posting.

[j20tower]

terrific guys. I love it. I was at the original back in the 60's

[robertg330]

Hmmm, totally lost the entire meaning of this song.

[poeticjames]

You have to watch the musical and keep in mind that it was written when Vietnam was going on. I think this was controversial piece and also banned at some point.

I recommend either looking at some of the videos online or renting the musical. It explains the song a lot

[robertg330]

I wasn't saying that I lost the total meaning of the song, I was saying that this performance lost the total meaning of the song. I have seen the musical on stage several time in several different interpretations and have seen the movie several times. I am fully aware of the meaning behind the song and what is being communicated through the lyrics.

[poeticjames]

Oh, I read into that wrong then. And yeah, I think it was just for performance sake anyways. I don't think they were trying to capture the meaning of the song. If they were.... >_> well idunno

[carini420]

Not a big fan of all the vocal riffing. "The Flesh Failures" is a pretty raw and unapologetic bearing of the soul about a movement's miserable failure, and you kind of lose that message when you add in the "look how good I can sing" riffing. I'm pretty sure that's the very reason the original producers didn't want to cast your typical music theatre actors in 1967.

[ClarifyEht]

@carini420 ....can't you just enjoy the song? ._.

[gobipill]

@carini420 Maybe they wanted to change the meaning of the song. Not like that's never been done before; anything is doable in art

[yatwobob]

Hmmm, kind of cool

[homsar456]

Go girls.

[PieterRoefs]

Dit is echt te gek, kippenvel op me arme!!!

Echt mooi om te horen!

Gr uit Holland!

[zannelove]

nice though a little too much cow bell towards the end

[DanLSE]

Needs more cowbell!!

Like the performance vocally speaking, but as has been said, the meaning of the song can't really be conveyed in a setting such as this (i.e. multiple singer essentially taking a line each)

[The505Guys]

Oh god around the 1:25 mark it turned into something horrible!!

It was going so well....

[PicaRutavica]

great job

[milance2111]

Y cant belive wath my ears heard

[erikos]

My body is full of goos bumps

[TheatreKid00]

HOT DAMN!!!! =)!!!

[amalie1991]

So damn good voices!

[integral]

Wow. Awesome. Knocks me out. (and other superlatives :)

[raymonda100]

What a great show! Very impressive.

[mwalter]

Very impressive! I liked when the first rows stood up and joined it. Great!

[markahorn]

Not a fan of the arraingment but the singing was just beautiful, perfect, powerfull. You would be amazed how you'd feel if you would have been in charcter when singing.

[dasalchy]

Overall quite impressive!

I will say, the females seemed to be trying to overpower one another during their verse.

[Sanis5]

Respect! It's a really ggod perfomance. Impressing.

[wowreally90]

this is so incredible, I'm pretty sure I've watched this a good 5 times a day since it got posted haha

[gkartsonakis]

[jyi2]

[kNARR0079]
