  • LOVE this guy. I can't wait to see where his career goes. He has such a sense of style for this specific kind of classical musical theatre music. He's also a terrific actor.

  • Only guy to ever sing this song and do it justice is Sinatra. I mean its brilliant.

  • I was raised on the Edmund Hockridge version of Soliloquy, so my standard was high. Julian Ovenden does a superb job.....he will surely become a major star of the musical theatre, providing he is coupled with the right vehicle.

  • A very appealing voice, obviously professionaly trained to some extent, but it's a little small, in my view. Saying that I love Franco Corelli, so it's a little apples and oranges! :-)

  • @TheHistoryGirl He may be trying to recreate the BROADWAY orchestrations. It was a stage musical first and foremost, and remains one (as seen by the successful revival a few years back).

  • I really enjoyed Julian's redention of this classic. For those criticising the originality of the interpretation the whole point of what John Wilson is trying to do is recreate the cinematic orchestrations for a live orchestra. The only thing I miss is the slight raise by McCrae on the first 'like a try he'll grow' - that gets me every time in the film. Nevertheless, I rank Ovenden's vocal skills higher than Jackman's and equal with both Warlow and Raitt.

  • I,ve seen him in the tv series Foyles war,had no idea he was a stage singer also, talented guy,

  • His face and eyes are SO expressive, he's acting the song as well as singing. And he's got the power behind the voice, but acts thru the words as well.  Brilliant!

  • I believe HUGH JACKMAN does a more than passible rendition!

  • Would I love to see him on Broadway! He's perfect at the best of American musical theater.

  • HOLY HOLY COW!!!! THIS GUY RIVALS JOHN RAITT!!!
