I'd give it all for you

[SopranoNinja]

They both have amazing voices, but the sound quality isn't the best. They're over powered by the band. Despite that, this is my favorite version on Youtube because of what amazing actors they are. I'm really wondering if they're really in love....

[Vjewerica]

She has an amazing voice!

It`s pleasure to listen to her!

[doogix]

he needs to sing from his stomache more....his tone is very nasal

[Frznblood]

@doogix some people just have a nasal voice. his sound still sounds very well supported. i think it works well with the song.

[mmmusic14]

You both have fantastic voices, and you blend really well!

[linorf]

discreet tape- but i think we've established that

[christopherjoshuarn]

awesome!!! :D>

[jordantheld18]

Wow, that's the tackiest mic tape job I've ever seen.

[ashjosjd13]

I smiled when I realized one of these videos was related to one of mine on the side bar. I rejoiced.

[Jelleybeans7]

He's really good-mic tape fail. :)

[BaileyAnn88]

beautiful job! i love all of the music from songs for a new world. so wonderful!

[ChelseAlice]

My friends did this for our MDT revue this year... marvelous. Great music. :)

[TheMusicianRae]

I really like the rhythms during the bridge. I'm not sure I've heard it played like that. Well done. This is one of my favorites.

[staceyu3]

That was truly amazing, brilliant acting, brilliant voices!!

[Tustin2121]

Absolutely beautiful! I actually understood this song more by seeing it here!

Personally, I think a kiss at the end would have sealed the deal and made this interpretation PERFECT! :D

[TheBirdElephant]

i wish this guys pronounciation was good...i dont know whats up with him lol but i love the woman

[prospectsammer]

the best version of this song i've seen.

fantastic.

[SuperHebrews]

you know...you shouldnt bash people about their voice unless they really are bad...the guy has a great voice...its just a little different...and in my opinion the blending was good...so in the end your comment my friend was garbage

[arsnl89]

sorry... that wasn;t me... thats my pissed off cousin who thinks he knows all about JRB. i actually like it. But someone did say he sounded like John mayer which i do disagree with.

[arsnl89]

HE SOUNDS NOTHING LIKE JOHN MAYER!!!! THE F*CK YOU TALKING ABOUT!? she is better then him, he is garbage...there voices dont blend good...ya she is really good

[luthan32]

He's not garbage.

i think that, whilst their voices don't blend exactly inthe traditional manner, it produces a nice effect, and the acting and overal performance was wonderful. There are times when Mr Lamoureaux presses a little on the notes and they sound flat, but it's not massively noticable, and I really enjoyed his voice and their interpretation of the song. Best I've seen on youtube.

[MclovinMartha]

LOL at the mic tape :\ thats just masking tape right..

they shouldve atleast used like clear tape, or actual mic tape?

ahah :)

Great song though

[DiamondRoseGoddess]

where is this done?

[bleggin]

3 comments:

1. tape face = hilarious

2. he sounds like John Mayer if John Mayer had gone to Michigan.

3. They sang the wrong lyrics in the last chorus (their version: I'd give it all for you. real lyrics: I gave it all for you) even though they made the bold acting choice to embrace in the last part of the song (implying that "giving it all for you" is no longer a hypothetical, rather they have decided to be together).

good song, nice performance.

[konstantinzander]

that is the first good critic I've read on youtube. I'm impressed.

[Snowcone47]

they need mic tape. is that like duck tape? lol

[sikohlman]

she is great! not a fan of the guy, and the tape...well we're all thinking it!

well done Heather!

[susanne1310]

hey! back of the tape! you better preform like this than cancel the show...

sometimes you have to do with what you've got.

[cheptothemaxx]

i dont know what that is on their faces but its not face tape. Kinda ruined the whole thing for me.

[zizwiz]

use clea medical tape for the mics! I can't believe they performed in public like that!

[luthan32]

*shrugs* It may have been a quick improvisation. Sometimes you just need to take what you have and go with it. I think it's admirable that they went out there, tape aside and gave such a stunning performance.

[barleybaby]

wow, shes a beautiful singer =]

[mykeybabay]

I love Jordan, but I love that Microphone even more lol

[milleribsen]

two word: toupe tape. Otherwise great performance.

[Ephilias]

Very goods singers

But (there's always a but) the girl doesn't know where to look. She's not a very good actress.

[Eponine05]

what do you mean exactly? I'm not being defensive, i'm genuinely inquiring

[susieecool]

I actually think she's a good actress. She's not supposed to look at the camera, but as though there is no camera or audience.

[Ephilias]

No she would be a bad actress to look at the camera.

But she's not very good though I think. There are more than 1000 to look in this type of situation but she use the 3 always used by everybody.

[mymixedtape05]

holy mic tape haha (:

i love this though..

[MattActorGordon]

WOW. lots of tape. good singing though

[castChicagoactors]

His acting, it's a little stiff. She is good, but she could use more soft focus.

[Eponine05]

what's soft focus?

[castChicagoactors]

Soft focus means to relax her eyes and her focus. It's a viewpoints term.

[lkjkorn19]

Very good singing and piano-playing! 5*ed it. =)

[LenyaLeaf]

I have looked up many versions of this song, this one is definately my favorite!!

[ibrian91]

i don't think they used enough mic tape.

but they sounded pretty!

[FabianWilliam]

the girl is SOOOOOO cute

[kingkotze]

yes!

[themanfrom05]

he sounds like aaron neville. haha Girl is awesome tho.

[baylesblack713]

AMAZING!!

[8poseur8]

looks like a community banquet at dawsons creek.

[ashjosjd13]

They rocked! =] <3 I love music.

[MandyJayyy]

The girl is really good.

=)

The guy needs to relax his jaw. Hes trying to alter his pitch with it and its not exactly working out.

[BroadwayBaby313]

eeek, clear mic tape next time! wonderful singing though

[sc0tlas]

...yeah... one of those nobody-has-tape-and-the-show-s­tarts-in-5-minutes emergencies. White tape is better than no tape. :)

[willworkforapplaud]

haha MIC TAPE!!

[SerafinaLily9]

Holy mic tape, Batman!

[jhughessings]

First of all that's an amazingly shallow thing to say (big butt). It's even more astonishing after I looked at your channel and discovered that YOU are, in fact, overweight! This is a SINGING and ACTING video not America's Next Top Model and furthermore she is a perfectly healthy weight.

[ashjosjd13]

I know I'm fat thanks and I never said she was overweight and I never said big butts are bad, there's a whole song dedicated to them, In fact if you read again I said that it was amazing. She's extremely talented and pretty amazing. I'm just stating something I noticed.

[jhughessings]

Actually your tone makes it negative you said "and I hate to say this but she has a pretty big butt". Yeah you said she was talented. The point is you should have stopped there. Prefacing a comment with "i'm sorry but" does not denote a compliment.Your alleged disorder is even more reason why you should know better than to comment on someone's looks.

[ashjosjd13]

Oh and just to let you know I have a thyroid disorder and we're working on blood tests now to see if we can get it under control. Thank you

[jhughessings]

Don't try to turn this around to paint ME as the bad person. I merely pointed out WHY you should be more sensitive. I never said you looked bad. YOU'RE the one who made an insensitive remark about someone with a curvier body type.

[ashjosjd13]

alright guy... relax. God Damn... she's a beautiful person with more talent and poise than I can ever pray for. So give up, because I know. Don't attack me because of something I typed one day that was stupid. Trust me if I had proof read it and thought twice I wouldn't have put that up there. So lay off. And don't you DARE tell me I am a bad person if that is what your implying.

[CandiiBabii54]

this song always makes me cry. it's beautiful.

[richboy22yay]

he like actually sucks , no joke , it just gets worse and worse as the video goes on .

[richboy22yay]

he sucks at legato lines , its way to choppy ... he's really not that good ..

[Joeleole]

gotta luv that masking tape!

[ilovelamp048]

a little pitchy, but overall good!!!!!! Just be careful of falling flat sometimes... :-/

[baylesblack713]

They are both extrodinary, but i think the girl needs to use hear head voice more instead of pushing everything. and the guy needs to have more rounded vowels

[luthan32]

It's nice to hear someone actually making a valid comment rather than just saying someone 'sucks' or 'can't sing'. I agree with both comments.

[greenwaypress]

no clear tape in the house?

[yay4fb]

wow, i really believed it at the end. great job!!

[ara611]

Beautiful voices...heinous stage direction... can we PLEASE find a way to stage intimate songs like this so they're not hella awkward?

[prisoner0932]

I think some of it was admittedly awkward, but the very last segment just blew me away. There was just the right amount of restraint, and they came together at the right moment... and oh God, at the end when he pressed his brow against hers and smiled I just melted! XD I think the validity in your comment lies in the first little bit, though, yeah.

[sc0tlas]

Ha... there WAS no stage direction. This was just a bunch of singers and the pianist (me) who threw together a zero-budget show for the music. So just close your eyes and pretend it's totally non-awkward ;)

[prisoner0932]

Seriously? Well, I take off my hat to all of you^^

I must've watched this clip about a hundred times. Love the end.

[ThLuckyOne]

Who cares about the mikes? You kids are FABULOUS! THANKS for SHARING!

[NekoNoBaka13]

The guy's gestures at 3:55 remind me of the sims, lol. In a good way. I love this song!

[andromedacarina]

You're right - there are better ways to mic up. But that didn't mar a beautiful performance! Lovely, honest voices for a lovely, honest song.

[wickedbway]

what a beautiful pair of voices! excellent job.

[drewblakeman]

Really amazing,

Love that song (:

[shrinkydinx]

holy fucking incredible.

[broadwayboundqt]

Great performance!:) I hate using these kind of mics too:( Maybe some of that clear tape next time..hehe. No,the whole performance and harmonies were brilliant!

[Pechissimo87]

Why have you guys switched the male and female harmonies at 3:29. Not a criticism in the slightest, its a good performance, just curious

[katieannmoore]

I could be wrong, but according to the music I'm using to perform this scene calls for the harmonies they sang...no changes were made.

[Pechissimo87]

ah no... you're quite right i do apologise, it threw me slightly because he doesn't drop down to the g on "us was" or "me I'd". As I said before tho... a very good performance

[sc0tlas]

I don't believe it was intentional... but seriously? I hope this didn't ruin the song for you. :) Nice to know someone else obsesses about the details, though.

[pagtaWhat]

AMAZINGAMAZINGAMAZING.

[spookyman89]

this is an awesome song

it makes me cry

[BlueEyesAlign]

2:08.. takes my breath away.

It's that special moment where the performer transcends the character and has a moment of pure joy in what they're doing and their talent/ability.

Very special :)

[BlueEyesAlign]

Beyond phenomenal.

[llamalover1993]

amazing!

[Phentleman]

Those mics look ridiculous...and they look like they're probably also a pain in the ass to wear too...

The sound and act this song beautifully, though. :)

[prboy0812]

i'm pretty sure they just ran out of mic tape and thats all they could use...

[ginafaloola]

everyone in this program has been amazing. jesus. I'm sure jason robert brown would have been proud.

[chelcmaec]

Does anyone else think Heather looks like Sutton Foster in the face?

[annajoy2009]

The guy sounds exactly like he looks.

haha...those mics! why are they taped?

[prboy0812]

you've seriously never need mics being taped?

[annajoy2009]

nope! i've never had that problem

[Dfreeman321]

agree, they're a little obtrusive, VERY good vocal quality though. I love the female's facial expression. Nice blend as well.

5/5

[ScottAuc]

Great performance!!!

(except the mics lol)

[pumpkinheadedmf]

This is a fantastic rendition of this song. And the video/audio quality is great.

And yeah, the mics are quite ridiculous looking. But if that's what it took to make this video, right on.

Beautiful.

[spencerlbeck]

this is an amazing performance , & it really does justice to the song . & heather has a phenomenal voice . great work . :]

[krakenrock]

thank you so much for posting the jason robert brown songs. it's much appreciated. i'm subscribing.

[mny152]

now that's a song

[dmdhl7]

hahahaha. i'm extremely impressed with their vocals....and the tape just adds to how memorable this performance was. lol

[mileyandmandyLOVE]

oohh i know heathers voice is great, but i think its better in "IM not Afraid of Anything!"

[noriwolf]

You're right, I was planning on doing I'm Not Afraid of Anything for a performance and I had two weeks so I found that version on here and it helped me SO much. But she's still really good here...

[noriwolf]

Wow, this woman's voice is amazing! If I could buy this version on iTunes instead of the version they have, I probably would...

[mileyandmandyLOVE]

so was the guys!! right?!?

[erin0605]

WOW this is amazing...the microphones are ridiculous though...could they not find clear tape??

[mileyandmandyLOVE]

how are the mic ridiculous

[ScottAuc]

this is great!

[yellowtrees]

everyone's saying how good the girl sounds. well. i think the guy is really really awesome too.

[Ptonsinger10]

totally agree. what's more, the voices work so well together, in my humble opinion. full of character, yet balanced to each other.

[aledmorgan1]

Singing is excellent, but you do know there is such a thing as see through tape don't you. lol! Loved it though!

[eleanorrigby7390]

love it!! Awesome, especially Heather.

[freestyleraimz]

wickeddude shut up. that was absolutely beautiful! gosh it made me cry! an amazing job!xxx

[oneplayshortacrazy]

Does anyone know where I can find the piano sheet music for either this I'd Give it all for You, or Hear My Song, at the best price, or FREE?

[Magalamb]

They sell the SFANW vocal selections for $16.95. It's a pretty good investment.

[trchrono]

She did such an awesome job with the song! He sort of limits himself by closing himself off from the audience while he stares at her, though. Also, his voice seems pinched off and a little nasal when he goes for higher notes. However, she did a great job of adding character and depth into the performance, and not to mention she has a great voice! Very well done!

[mightymatanda]

Heather makes it seem so easy.

it would be nice if you both would open up a little more.

[wickedude]

The tape on the people's faces is so distracting... But good singing.

[dcougar10]

It really is. lol. The are freaking amazing though. That makes up for it.

[amiehammons]

wow lady, you are great. this is by far my favorite of this song I've found. Doing this song on friday for a big show, I'll try to get a video for y'all. Blessings and peace.

[tggold]

Heather is by far my favorite interpreter of any Woman in any version of SFANW that I've heard.

[wickedude]

The only song I don't like her in is "I'm not afraid..." and that's just because when she sings the single word "afraid" it sounds screechy. But, I think she's amazing otherwise.

[tggold]

See, she does my favorite version of that song too O_O I think she sounds at the very least better than the original album.

[wickedude]

Oh, a screaming baby sounds better than the album. I despise those voices and how lusterless they are- it makes their characters seem like they went through years and years of proper singing training. It's supposed to be imperfect and full of emotion, not proper and classical.

[jrath155]

man wuts wrong with u??!?!? u should've kissed her at the end! lol jkin. u guys were awesome! im doin this at a charioty ball.

[mikeL09stagelife]

u guys sound great

but why such intensely visible mic tape

so distracting

bbut u really do sound great

[sc0tlas]

Yeah, we got short-changed on mic equipment at the last minute, and the pharmacy across the street only had white (and we had about 2 minutes). Oh well, we still had fun.

[xfabulous529x]

breath taking.

[Ptonsinger10]

agreed. actually, that's the best way to describe this whole production.

[Gemkayper]

i thought it was really good!!! one thing though, was that Jordan,when you were singing the beginning part, i thought you needed to show a little more expression on your face, but other than that it was amazing!!!

great work you guys!!!

[drkkeith]

She does my favorite rendition of this song I have ever seen. He does an alright job as well, but her talent is just crazy.

[donnapacheco]

His voice reminds me of Josh Groban.

[BlackwaterBud]

Nah, Jordan sings on pitch.

[donnapacheco]

Hahahaha.. WELL.

[ilanashorts]

AMAZING.

[cinciscott]

Some very nice things, my friends. Miss psychosoprano in particular. :) Definitely my fave of all that I've heard on You Tube.

[sweetgirl4JC]

AWesome voice! God bless you. Ooooh amazing!

Lisa

[caitlinrose2009]

omg

too adorable

please tell me they're an actual couple

hahaha

[greengirl86]

lol, yes, the mics are ridiculous, but you guys did an awesome job. Your voices are so beautiful that I barely notice the mics by the end. After listening to a few videos of this song, this is by far my favorite. Great work! :)

[wawa5483]

mics are ridiculous

[sc0tlas]

Yeah, we know... we had a few last-minute sound crises, and this is the best we could do. Just try to ignore the non-transparent tape, while you're at it. :)

[vball9sideout]

bravo! i love songs for a new world. good emotions in that song. i felt it listening to you guys.

[SheaMitchell86]

you guys did a great job. I love all these songs.

[evans54]

this production is well done!
