Merry me a little Ms. Robot! Cardboard Bobby and flat ta boot!

The one thing I can't stand about recordings of shows with most cameras is that it is so hard to see the facial features. I do my singing interpretation with my face and my voice so when I see videos where I can't see my face, I feel like people aren't getting my whole performance. So I can't say I am seeing the whole performance in this. But, what I can say is that this is a difficult song but for a high school performance this was adequate vocally.

[JauntyJules]

he's singing like he's asking someone to go to a mildly entertaining movie date with him. This is the shallowest performace of this song. ever.

TIP: the more you concentrate on what you're saying the better and less lazy it will sound. Oh, and build.

"Hey, ya got a problem wit me" {read with Brooklyn accent}.

I just read all my comments about this clip. Where did silly me say that this production was "better" than the revival? I wrote the word "compare," not "better." Yeah - I know that I also wrote "hideous" to describe the revival. Well - it was! However, the original production was BY FAR the best that has ever happened. No contest.

I guess my problem stems from you-You have been harsh to ANYONE who had even the mildest critique of this show or this performance. People pointing out obvious problems-pitch issues and lack of commitment-have been made to feel less than worthy than yourself. You do yourself no service when you try to compare this to the broadway revival and say this was better. It really just invalidates your opinion when you say silly things like that

So, please do not confuse my "pride" and "considerate manners" with "non-objectivity."

AND - It's difficult writing "the whole story" with a 500 word restriction, so sometimes I [and others] come across like an ass.

I've been involved with 50+ productions locally. some were stinkers, some were superb. Considering the venue [if that's at ALL the correct word].. this one was superb.

I could write a book about all the duds over the years! Still - I won't ever bash them. I wasn't brought-up that way.

[leojrevlis]

I make comments NOT based on my own bias.. but because this production won Best Musical in a state competition of over 100 high schools - so "qualified others" view the show as errr - errr - GOOD! I am proud to be part of the team, and my statements reflect that. Don't assume that I DON'T want to hear feedback. I'm not a computer-dope; I know that I "could" disable comments.. but I don't.

You removed 3 comments that you made a month ago. Please don't! Stick by your words.

Just so we are clear-the original broadway used levels

and scene transitions-There is nothing too original about that. I feel you were involved with this production in some way and are not abel to step back and see it objectively. I have been in many shows that were great and some that were terrible-I think you need to distance yourself from this and not be so defensive regarding feedback-if you don;t want to hear it-disable the function!

Basically - - the sets and staging using the levels, as well as the integrated scene transitions. Yup, that's my answer!! ;-}
