How it went happened- Jay: You want to be Poseidon? Steven: I don’t know… Jay: We’ll give you this trident Steven: RUTHLESSNESS IS MERCY UPON OURSELVES
i was kinda afraid because mr rivera-herrans had a way to sing this song with so much passion that i couldn't even picture someone else could sing it with the same energy and feeling . But this guy, his voice and the way he sing this is so perfect. when i hear him even with this small extra i'm just submerged into it
I felt the same way! Especially still nervous to hear "Get in the water" because the snippet we've heard from Jorge is already so well sung, the tone, the acting, everything! But I like Steven's voice a lot too, especially in this song, so I know it's gonna be amazing. I'm so excited for this saga and the rest to come!
Ok ok ok but just imagine. Steven Rodriguez singing 'Get In the Water' Just imagine. I'm not able to imagine. My brain is incapable of imagining such epicness.
I'm one of the people that was a bit nervous because I've been listening to Jorge's version and loving it to death, but I also really love this voice and delivery for Poseidon! Like everyone else said, he sounds rough, and I think he puts a good amount of anger behind "that's what I HATE!" Also I love that he's holding the trident in all these clips lmao. I'm so excited!!!
I was constantly thinking, "Who is going to do Ruthlessness better than Jorge?" after hearing him sing the concept song, and BOY did he find a PERFECT Poseidon! I'm so excited for this album!!!
My favorite thing about this snippet is how into character Steven is. You can literally see the veins in the neck bulging on Poseidon's more aggressive lines, especially during the lead up to the chorus. Yes, part of it might be the strain of hitting the notes, but with the amount of enthusiasm Steven is showing in the booth, it really sells the character and shows in his voice. Also, the diction on the hard consonants! It adds a sharpness and emotion to the lyrics that would have been sorely missed otherwise. 10/10 performance. Well done Steven Rodriguez!
I am convinced that the trident was 100% necessary for the making of this video and will now be required every time Steven shows up. Please I need more Poseidon content
I feel guilty that Poseidon has stolen Eurylochus’ spot as my favorite character in Epic. I just love his songs so much and then the voice actor goes and makes the songs even more amazing! ❤
Steven is _killing_ it! He sounds so good! He absolutely nailed the oceanic fury that I'd imagine from Poseidon. The rasp, the energy, the anger- it all just fits so well. This is going to be the best Christmas of all time.
I was worried I’d have trouble adjusting to the new Poseidon after getting accustomed to Jorge doing it, but gods damn this is good. The rage is so apparent in the singing, I absolutely love it
You know now that Disney adapted Percy Jackson into a show, can we have this guy do a collab on the show and to do a cover of this song that relates to the show
They chose so well with him, his voice matches the role perfectly. Can’t wait for the rest of the songs to come out so I can just listen to it all the way through. Love Epic
Gosh, this song always got my blood pumping before. But now, coupled with the gruff and gravelly tones of his voice, it is on a whole other level. The casting is on-point 👌👌👌 I cannot WAIT to be able to listen to the full track!
Hold please while I listen to this on repeat until my brain adjusts to this being the real voice of Poseidon I’m so used to Jay’s stand in voice from the clips
the little "keep going!" before steven rodriguez sung one of the most powerful parts in the song, while he was clearly out of breath, was so crazy to see
This went so freaking hard, it got me so psyched for the new saga. The intensity on that inflection he gives on the last "mercy upon ourselves"? Omg I'm going to be replaying this so much! 🤟😁🔱
Ok Jorge, but you can't give us a clip like this 3 days before the release, our excitement is already so above the stars that we could have a heart attack at any moment! (P.s. Hi dad, how are you? 🌊 )
Pshh, you Poseidon kids and your "Ruthlessness," always making my mother (Athena) come and save the day for some poor hero Still the same as you have been for thousands of years
I'm actually so excited that I'm shaking right now. Normally, I would be screaming, but I'm so incredibly hyped for this that I can barely type. Well done, Epic.
I was sooo afraid that I wouldn't like the new voice for this song. I've listened to the previous demo too many times and it was my absolute favourite. Every part of it - the tone, the acting, the voice, the singing... But THIS. This is not just good, this is perfect. I fell in love with the song even more. I didn't know it was even possible! I feel so excited about the Ocean saga release!! Can't wait!
This must have been officially the one hundredth time I listen to this song and this is my fav villain song of all time. I loved Steven's performance so much!!!!!!
You know... so when looking at all those auditions and things, I was like 'o i love the way this is sung' and 'o this sounds really good' and like 'o i like the way they'er spinning this' but like.. he just sounds like the album. like. it would prolly be weird with someone else because this is just like... the song that was on the album? (despite the fact we've yet to hear it). the casting is just so spot on, like- of course this is what Poseidon sounds like, duh. its got the same... feel? as the demo version, but like, also sounds more 'like' the character at the same time? love it. (also omg my xmas is so busy already ive no idea how im going to get this in there too)
I think my favorite part is Jorge saying "keep going" and he has just enough time to understand before the second more aggressive RUTHLESSNESS IS MERCY UPON OURSELVES!
I need this song downloaded onto my spotify more that i need food and water rn... the full body shivers i get at the chorus are just... god, this song is perfect
❤ excited beyond belief for this saga to release. Vibrating with so much joy. I'm also liking who they cast for posiedon enjoying the gruffness he comes with. Like scratchy gruffness to his singing if that makes sense, when he says "ruthlessness...". Can't wait 😊
I was worried about who would be playing Poseidon because all his songs sounded like they would be my favorites and it would make or break depending on who sang it. I was not disappointed at all! Can't wait to hear him sing 'Get in The Water'!
I CANNOT PHSYCIALLY WAIT FOR THE OCEAN SAGA TO BE RELEASED. LIKE WHY DOES IT SOUND SO CRAZY GOOD?? I DON'T KNOW BUT I'M LOVING IT! I currently have the cyclops saga and troys sagga in my playlist. Patiently waiting for the ocean saga to release.
Am I the only one amazed by the emotion he's able to express when he sings this song? Also, while I've come to love Jorge's voice, I really love the way Steven sings this song with a kind of rough tinge/growl to it? Also great being able to see the actual expressions he makes when he sings this, cause it feels like he's really expressing his character's emotions.
I don't usually get excited for things anymore, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel anything listening to these snippets, I'm so excited for Christmas thanks to you
I just saw his audition, and I'm so glad he was advised to put more grit throughout the whole song. His audition was great, but it wasn't Poseidon enough, but Jorge saw the potential. Steven is the perfect Poseidon.
How it went happened-
Jay: You want to be Poseidon?
Steven: I don’t know…
Jay: We’ll give you this trident
Steven: RUTHLESSNESS IS MERCY UPON OURSELVES
That is so accurate 😂😂😂
LOL
Lmao😂
This actually happened, I am the trident
@@Liz_The_Arson_ChildI can confirm too, I was the hat.
Ok, I can not be the only person that laughs because he has a trident in this hand as he sings. He really is Poseidon 🔱💙
It’s helping get into character
That and the shirt as well!
What ever gets you into character, i wouldve done the same.
King of the Sea for real 😂
Having the modern baseball cap on is giving Percy Jackson Poseidon.
i was kinda afraid because mr rivera-herrans had a way to sing this song with so much passion that i couldn't even picture someone else could sing it with the same energy and feeling .

Sammmmmme! To both comments!
@@LoreCatan I actually like Stevens voice as Posieden better.
@@mrs.samuel.L.jackson same
I’m excited to listen to get in the water track, it’ll be awesome
His voice reminds me of the saltiness of the ocean, and the rough touch of the sand grating against his voice. Amazing!!!
It’s equally rough and smooth. That gentle splash or a thundering wave pushing you back yet swaying you in.
This dude channels the roughness of the ocean so well, Steven really is the greatest voice for Poseidon. Can’t wait for the Ocean Saga to drop!!!
That sassy “But noooo” is everything 😂
Ok ok ok but just imagine.
Steven Rodriguez singing 'Get In the Water'
Just imagine.
I'm not able to imagine. My brain is incapable of imagining such epicness.
He captured Poseidon so well with that voice! Bravo! Bravo! Poseidon is finally here everyone!
I'm one of the people that was a bit nervous because I've been listening to Jorge's version and loving it to death, but I also really love this voice and delivery for Poseidon! Like everyone else said, he sounds rough, and I think he puts a good amount of anger behind "that's what I HATE!" Also I love that he's holding the trident in all these clips lmao. I'm so excited!!!
I was a bit anxious too about it, but he has great emotional choices on the enfasis and I LOVE his voice texture! The chorus gave me goosebumps 🎉❤
Me tooooo but still jorge’s « but nooo » is better 😂😂
I don't know how you found someone who sounds like a barnacle. He's awesome and I'm so ready for the new saga!
That is an odd but accurate description.
HOW IS THAT SO ACCURATE? I LOVE IT
It’s the rasp/gravel in his voice
That is so weirdly fitting
Seriously, he's just totally method acting, I feel like he is ready to use that trident in his hands.
I wanna see the whole BTS video so bad - I *love* his Poseidonning.
The rage, it’s perfect for a raging sea. And the “But noOoOO” is perfect
I like the raspiness in his voice. I think it adds all the more to his character.
Also I love how he’s constantly holding the trident and that’s he’s wearing a Poseidon shirt!! 🔱❤
No waaaaaay......
He has trident, AND A POSEIDON PRINT ON T-SHIRT!
Full immersion
YOU ARE LEGENDS
I was constantly thinking, "Who is going to do Ruthlessness better than Jorge?" after hearing him sing the concept song, and BOY did he find a PERFECT Poseidon! I'm so excited for this album!!!

Oh he NAILED the "but noooo", that's always been one of my favourite parts!
I am convinced that the trident was 100% necessary for the making of this video and will now be required every time Steven shows up. Please I need more Poseidon content
Poseidon actually sounds older now, and Steven's voice goes so well with it, it's so scratchy and intimidating an ahhh! I can't wait! 😁😁
I feel guilty that Poseidon has stolen Eurylochus’ spot as my favorite character in Epic. I just love his songs so much and then the voice actor goes and makes the songs even more amazing! ❤
I love Jorge in the back round shouting“keep going!”
Nothing is better than artists getting excited for each other's work XD
Steven is _killing_ it! He sounds so good! He absolutely nailed the oceanic fury that I'd imagine from Poseidon. The rasp, the energy, the anger- it all just fits so well. This is going to be the best Christmas of all time.
Daaamm, he's so good! I love the slight raspiness of his voice? He trully sounds like an ancient sea god. The mocking "but noooo" was so good!
I was worried I’d have trouble adjusting to the new Poseidon after getting accustomed to Jorge doing it, but gods damn this is good.
The rage is so apparent in the singing, I absolutely love it
You know now that Disney adapted Percy Jackson into a show, can we have this guy do a collab on the show and to do a cover of this song that relates to the show
Steven knocked it out of the freaking ball park, man!! 😮 I can't wait to hear the full version!
I like how the last line is, "And now it is finally time to say goodbye," and then it cuts out. Accurate.
He really channeled his inner poseidon with the trident🔱
Im so excited for the release!
They chose so well with him, his voice matches the role perfectly. Can’t wait for the rest of the songs to come out so I can just listen to it all the way through.
Love Epic
You think he’s good now? Wait till he does “Get in the water”
Such a gruff voice! In love with it and I’m so excited for the saga to come out!!!
Gosh, this song always got my blood pumping before. But now, coupled with the gruff and gravelly tones of his voice, it is on a whole other level. The casting is on-point 👌👌👌
I cannot WAIT to be able to listen to the full track!
Hold please while I listen to this on repeat until my brain adjusts to this being the real voice of Poseidon
I’m so used to Jay’s stand in voice from the clips
loving that harmony like nobody's business
Oh god he's too good!! "Ruthlesness is mercy upon ourselves!!" Hits so hard!! 🌊
the little "keep going!" before steven rodriguez sung one of the most powerful parts in the song, while he was clearly out of breath, was so crazy to see
I though Jorge was brilliant at it but this man SLAYED IT EVEN HARDER.
This went so freaking hard, it got me so psyched for the new saga. The intensity on that inflection he gives on the last "mercy upon ourselves"? Omg I'm going to be replaying this so much! 🤟😁🔱
Ok Jorge, but you can't give us a clip like this 3 days before the release, our excitement is already so above the stars that we could have a heart attack at any moment!
(P.s. Hi dad, how are you? 🌊 )
YAY! Another Demigod!
Hello brother or sisters
Pshh, you Poseidon kids and your "Ruthlessness," always making my mother (Athena) come and save the day for some poor hero
Still the same as you have been for thousands of years
@@varner0715you do realise he gets with one of your mom’s daughters- right?
(Percy you’re breaking the timeline the odyssey is set thousands of years before you were born!)
Can’t wait for the full album
I'm actually so excited that I'm shaking right now.
Normally, I would be screaming, but I'm so incredibly hyped for this that I can barely type. Well done, Epic.
I'm gonna stream this song for at least a month on repeat. Ruthlessness is already my favourite, his voice is so amazing
I was sooo afraid that I wouldn't like the new voice for this song. I've listened to the previous demo too many times and it was my absolute favourite. Every part of it - the tone, the acting, the voice, the singing... But THIS. This is not just good, this is perfect. I fell in love with the song even more. I didn't know it was even possible! I feel so excited about the Ocean saga release!! Can't wait!
I love that he has a prop to help him channel the sea vibes!! Can't wait to hear his version of "get in the water"!
The whole studio is literally shaking
Steven's voice fits so well!! I'm in love it's so gorgeous and powerful and mighty and OMG
Can't wait for the full song
I was looking forward to this! I cannot wait until the full Ocean Saga is released! Great work from you Jorge and the whole cast💙🌊!
perfect casting fr
So excited for this saga to drop, one great Christmas present
I literally told my friend Today how excited I am for Ruthlessness with Steven's voice! It's amazing!
STEEVEENN YOU SOUND EPIC💙🌊🔱
Cant wait to listen to this song on the most joyous day of the year😂
Tbh, this song brought me to Steven Rodriguez's own discography and to discover his voice is just Like That...... No seat in the house was dry.
Yaaaaaas!!!! Dude, he sounds so awesome!!! 💙🤘
This must have been officially the one hundredth time I listen to this song and this is my fav villain song of all time. I loved Steven's performance so much!!!!!!
I wanna be "singing Ruthlessness with a trident in hand" level of cool
You know... so when looking at all those auditions and things, I was like 'o i love the way this is sung' and 'o this sounds really good' and like 'o i like the way they'er spinning this' but like.. he just sounds like the album. like. it would prolly be weird with someone else because this is just like... the song that was on the album?

love it.
(also omg my xmas is so busy already ive no idea how im going to get this in there too)
I think my favorite part is Jorge saying "keep going" and he has just enough time to understand before the second more aggressive RUTHLESSNESS IS MERCY UPON OURSELVES!
Jorge thinks he's slick by ending the snippet with "and now it is finally time to say goodbye"
This is a bop. I am literally screaming and singing along. I think someone is coming to check on me now. Two more days, just two more days.
thats his emotional support trident!!
The pipes on this man bro
He's so good they gave him the big fork to hold while singing
It's called a "Trident"😂
W POSEIDON CASTING ALSO THE RECORDING ROOM LOOKS SO SICK
His voice is so perfect for Poseidon!
Blown away doesn't even begin to encapsulate the vibe.
I feel the energy when he sings this song. One of my favorites!❤
I have never clicked on a notification so fast. I’m so excited for this. 🎉
I need this song downloaded onto my spotify more that i need food and water rn... the full body shivers i get at the chorus are just... god, this song is perfect
I am in love with his voice. Chills, just fucking chills.
Ruthlesness is a mercy upon ourselves.
Wow. Chills. Literal chills on that line.
There are some bangers in this song. "You are far too nice. MERCY HAS A PRICE."
I just can't wait for him to sing Get In The Water!
❤ excited beyond belief for this saga to release. Vibrating with so much joy. I'm also liking who they cast for posiedon enjoying the gruffness he comes with. Like scratchy gruffness to his singing if that makes sense, when he says "ruthlessness...". Can't wait 😊
Just listened to the full song and it’s AWESOME
This song has taken up permanent residence in my brain.
His song, the vibe, poseidon, ruthleness, sounds so glorious. Like what. So great capture.
I was worried about who would be playing Poseidon because all his songs sounded like they would be my favorites and it would make or break depending on who sang it. I was not disappointed at all! Can't wait to hear him sing 'Get in The Water'!
I CANNOT PHSYCIALLY WAIT FOR THE OCEAN SAGA TO BE RELEASED.
LIKE WHY DOES IT SOUND SO CRAZY GOOD?? I DON'T KNOW BUT I'M LOVING IT!
I currently have the cyclops saga and troys sagga in my playlist. Patiently waiting for the ocean saga to release.
Bro.this guy takes this song to a whole different level. Another legend added to tbe Eoic crew 👏
That smile at 0:49 when you know you're absolutely killing it
Yyyooo, this already sounds like it's going to be my favorite song in the musical. Keep up the great work guys!
The growl 🔥🔥🔥 I am SO HYPE MERRY CHRISTMAS TO US YALL
Am I the only one amazed by the emotion he's able to express when he sings this song?
Also, while I've come to love Jorge's voice, I really love the way Steven sings this song with a kind of rough tinge/growl to it?
Also great being able to see the actual expressions he makes when he sings this, cause it feels like he's really expressing his character's emotions.
I look forward to hearing his rendition of “Get In The Water”!
Ahhh what an EPIC posiden!!!! And with the trident and T-shirt.... I just can't 🤣😍🤣😍🤣
Soooo good ❤
I gotta say it's epic.
I don't usually get excited for things anymore, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel anything listening to these snippets, I'm so excited for Christmas thanks to you
Ocean Saga is that singular thing on mythology that I'm actually excited about this year! A marvelous musical with gorgeous production
I just saw his audition, and I'm so glad he was advised to put more grit throughout the whole song. His audition was great, but it wasn't Poseidon enough, but Jorge saw the potential.
Steven is the perfect Poseidon.
AHHHHHHH IM DYING HE'S SO GOOD
Such a powerfull voice, i totally can see lord poseidon with that voice
YES POSEIDON
I think my favorite part of all this is that the "but nooo~" has survived into the final draft.
YEEEEEES FINALLY!!! it's way better than i expected, and i expected a lot!!! perfect voice for Poseidon, I'm in love
Oh he is ~perfect~
Yay, recording clips!! Such a great gritty voice!
Only 3 more sleeps til EPIC Ocean Saga
You need to have him sing get in the water
