      Colm Wilkinson will always have a special place in my in my heart. But he smashed it.

      Colm is the king no one will take the crown from him. Boe’s pretty great though.
      His reprise at the end with the 3 others was truly special. “The summers die one by one how soon they fly on and on” such a great delivery. But I do find this performance to be a bit too soft and high. When he pushes it just a bit he’s really amazing towards the end. Would be amazing if he could sustain that throughout the whole song.

      Not his best performance of "Bring Him Home", but Boe is the best to sing it. I think you meant that you couldn't breathe.

    From My Review - Jean Valjean is magnificently portrayed by the opera singer Alfie Boe. It was widely thought that the 1985 version of Valjean with Colm Wilkinson and his signature song, Bring Him Home, could never, ever be supplanted. That conventional wisdom was obliterated by Alfie Boe’s tour de force in 2010. Boe got a 5-minute standing ovation after he belted out Bring Him Home, with him actually having to break character as the on-stage cast behind him were in tears. Boe’s performance at O2 was the greatest in the history of Les Misérables…bold words indeed.

    I've heard about Les Miserables since I don't know when, also love the song I Dreamed a Dream, but have never watched the play/movie in full. I've tried to watch the movie, but can't stand the singing so I only manage to watch around 20 minutes or so. But last year I watched the 25th anniversary concert with Alfie Boe as Jean Valjean and I was blown away by the story, the songs, the singing, the emotion. I shed tears countless times...

    • @EthanWilliams-eh5jc
      @EthanWilliams-eh5jc Před rokem +4

      Are you a fan of the John Owen Jones version? I think he’s the perfect of Colm and Alvie’s performances. Vocally, it’s hard to compare due to how different their voices are. It’s more about preference. These are three outstanding professionals who have their craft down pat. Alfie is imo, the most technically skilled with his background in classical opera (duh), but to me, something is missing from his performance of the song. It sounds stunning, precious, and pained, but it doesn’t quite have the longing that Colm and John bring to the table. Colm I think puts a little too much heart in sometimes but he’s the original so it’s hard not to love him and be bias towards him. I would say that John’s interpretation understands the character best. He sings a soft lullaby prayer, as Alfie does, but here, you feel not just the hurt and the pain, but the final plea as well. In Valjean’s mind, God has done so much already for him that it almost pains him to ask for Marius’ protection too. But he knows he won’t be here forever and accepts that Cosette will need someone else when he is gone. So he makes a desperate final plea to God. You can hear the desperation ooze through John’s performance as the song progresses and then he quickly calms himself to regain composure with his very last humble prayer.
