Lovely! Felt every word.

Love the song, great job :) I think the song has a much eerier effect when sung at mezzo-piano max, though. Maybe that's just me though.

Be still my beating heart.

I enjoyed it... wasn't expecting to, but that happens from time to time. Different, and lovely.

This would be a lot better if the style was more accurate. This is an opera aria, not a musical. Plus, his vibrato is nearing oscillation, which means that he has little breath support and control.

A voice teacher cannot teach you how to make your voice "exciting" -- which is what Mr. Esparza's instrument has. Just like Garland -- his sound has energy and life. And that, dear readers, is what star quality is all about.

Not to mention that singers' vibratos differ greatly. It all depends on a singers' training, and also differs a lot from song to song, genre to genre.
And yes, aren't those high notes just gorgeous? Something I'll never be able to do, that's for darn sure.

Esparza is singing, and his natural vibrato come out as a result. Plain and simple.
Listen to his speaking voice, and it's quite unique. (and suggestive of a very expressive, nasally-placed, vibrato-ful voice)

That Bb is crazy. I'm sorta in love with this guy. Why can't people just respect his voice for what it is?
I don't at all get why people are complaining. Sure his vibrato might not be your cup of tea, but personally I find his control on those high notes at the end to be quite impressive.

I disagree in these allegations of Esparza being a "self-trained musical star."
There is a video of him singing "Being Alive" (from Sondheim's "Company") at the Tony's, and he hits a G# on the E vowel perfectly, and the vibrato is the same as always.
Just because he hasn't perfected it doesn't mean he is forcing is. He is a gifted singer.
