  • 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.

  • 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?
