Just saw this video and then read the "idiot" comments. The boys have beautiful voices and if people took the time to find out what the scene is maybe they wouldn't sound like "idiots" when commenting. It's a funeral and dramatically the boys "come OUT". It's not an aria it's broadway. Good grief people...smarten up and beautifully done Steve and Jason!!!
Lovely natural voice, but he needs to relax those "r" 's and re-examine his pronunciation in general. He separates words, and belabors phrases such as "Gently whispering" in a way that sounds pedantic rather than musical. If he can elide his words, it will help his phrasing.
@sopranosd The 'r's are right for both the character and style. Malcolm comes from Buffalo, NY, and his dialect ought to reflect that. If this were an aria or an art song, I'd agree with you, but in the spirit of Broadway, the pronunciation is not only acceptable but appreciated. Also, the strange staccato thing appears to be a directorial choice: All the actors in this production do it. Perhaps the director feared intelligibility would be lost to more lyrical phrasing?
this rend was slow, but i liked it. I wished he would have touched him sooner. Maybe, that bc how my theatre did it, but i wished had been faster and he touhed him quicker. lol, but the unison "hill TOP" Bogarted my speakers. :)
Nice voice. Love this song. Makes me wish I were a tenor. Annoying over pronunciation. I don't care how big the house is. There is no need to use all of those r's. NeveRRRR alone foRRR you walk with me. RRRuined it for me.

Beautifully done. Wonderful voice. Wonderful connection. The sobs took me out a bit, but not so much that you lost me. Thank you for the performance.
