- Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!!
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!
Javert's worst nightmare
Pfffffft
How the hell did this comment get so popular, ha. Blows up my notifications everyday.
+DestinyofAwe Because it's fucking hilarious.
+DestinyofAwe javert be like I had 24601 problems now I had 17 more
So is so true
Ireland was like: "I only got one line, I'm gonna fucking nail this shit"
"Here's 800 years of struggle !"
The first line was also sung by an Irishman too, the original and still best Valjean, Colm Wilkinson from Dublin.
Best voice for sure
The lad in the white shirt at the start spent 10+ years performing this song during Les Mis in Broadway. I'd hope you would know his nationality? Stage Heroes..
@@arigones it's not a nationality thing. He'd come under USA
This is literally the biggest "me and the boys" moment in history.
Amazing how this can be sung in so many different languages and still not lose the power/message
the song of freedom can never lose it's power
ps i'm drunk
@@1smolboiii Damn, that’s a mood. How to be Enjolras and Grantaire at the same time 💯
Somewhere there are 17 Javert's looking for Jean Valjean.
Or one Javert looking for seventeen Valjeans...
+Cockroach Charlie Would he have thrown himself off of a bridge sooner or later than intended?
Anthony Hart
LOLLOL
Anthony Hart At least the Japanese Valjean was also Javert
Does that mean he's on a quest of self-discovery?
javert be like: i got 99 problems and valjean is 17 of them
I got 24601 problems, and Valjean is all of them
made my day lol
Omg this comment wins so hard
I laughed at this a lot harder than I should have.
Genius. Pure genius.
It’s 2023…..The company NEEDS TO DO THIS AGAIN. What a thrill. The MOST Revolutionary & Emotional / Raw musical EVER Composed.
I would be over the moon to watch this production on stage again. If they ended up pulling this kind of mind-blowing move while I was there I would probably cry and then faint and then cry some more, lol. But to be serious it would legitimately be one of my favorite lifetime memories, for sure.
Jeff Leyton (Ireland) blows most of these guys out of the water when he comes in 3:45 gives me chills everytime!! Fantastic stuff even all these years later
Absolutely same, man came out SWINGING and I love it every time haha
if anyone can sing a revolutionary song its the irish
@@theunloadedrpg1376 well most of them
Let the geeks sing and then we'll give them douchebag awards for all of you. Do you hear yourselves singing douchebags. Listen to the sounds of retards on utube as they brag about being slick but they can't touch this nigga.
I'd say his spontaneous, epic, loud, inspiring take is on par with Colms soft spoken, quiet, holy, and downright gentle take
Just imagine how unreal that was to experience live
Amen!
You'd never forget it! Amazing
IKR the pepople there are so lucky :(
Ii's actually a french experience ; )
Thank god for CZcams. This is the power and brilliance of CZcams. How many millions of people around the world were able to experience this performance? I'm a premium member and would happily pay double the amount I pay.
Japan at the end of his bit: "Fuck, did I leave the stove on?"
Yes, that WAS the Iron Chef's Chairman Kaga!!!
Yes it was!
Today's theme Ingredient: A Stolen Loaf of Bread.
明日が来たときそうさ明日が〜ですよ！
海外から日本語ってどう聞こえるんだろう… will hear Japanese how from the foreign countries
+いる ね。ヨーロッパ言語に比べると滑らかすぎる...
Even the way Takeshi Kaga closes his mouth is epic.
You should see him on Iron Chef.
This can only be likened to the Olympics for musical theatre. Getting to walk with your countries flag in such a prestigious setting and then come put with this history making performance.
Audience: Wow that was really good.
Norway: Hold my beer
Ireland: Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerooooooooooyyyyy Jenkins
It's like every irish person is born with the gift of singing
@@christofferjeffers8460 thanks✊🇮🇪
Best voice on this just found out he's Scottish and its colm Wilkinson that's Irish lol imo he's the better singer anyway
He looks like his veins were going to pop out of his head
@@landonorris6 potato
I appreciate Japan getting a slightly longer part, because their sentences are often much longer and this way he didn't had to stop mid-sentence.
Yes because of partials like na ka mo etc in japan they have to for grammar
And it was Chairman Kaga!!
@@kpopahjussi Allez CUISINE!
Also, he's "The Chairman" from the original Iron Chef series..

The rebels lost in this case.
The lucky one sang "Empty chairs at empty tables".
The unlucky ones were just dead.

日本人が日本語で参加していることに感動しました。
this is what javert sees in his dreams
*nightmare
Javert...or people with attitudes like Javert. And I know plenty of people like that. Too many "Judging Javerts" in the world. We need more forgiving Bishops with silver candlesticks.
+druidkat7 lol
Lol??
Probably in his most secret dreams too, taking it to another Victor Hugo adaptation, think of Frollo and Esmeralda, he though about just killing her, but deep inside he actually desired her.
This was the most epic finale ever. If there was one last song on Earth, one grande finale, this should be it.
People don't get IT. The bulk of humanity is not White men from mostly European nations or the UK. The song speaks for well over 7 billion humans.
I doubt there was any evil intent behind the performance. I'm pretty sure that a Nigerian Valjean would have been perfectly welcome.
As for the gender thing, Valjean IS male in the play. You could change the script, like performing Hamlet with all-female roles, but then you would have a new piece of art, not the original.
I agree that the message in the song is universal -a call for people to overcome persecution and adversity.
just accept this is beautiful
+Tore Bolhoej lol
+Tore Bolhoej but right
Les Miserables is brilliant in every language.
That’s my college friend Craig Shulman singing the last Valjean. Vice like a Clarion bell. One of the nicest men ever 💜💜💜
No one:
Not a soul:
Mr. Leyton from Ireland: V I B R A T T O
I love it for 3 reasons.
1. A lot of Jean Valjeans.
2. Lea Salonga's voice is so clear and cuts through so many voices.
3. The most powerful Do You Hear the People Sing and One Day More .
Trending Diva 17 Valjeans and you hear both Lea and Michael Ball
If you hear their voices above 17 world class tenors belting out as if their lives depended on it, that’s more to do with the guy on the mixing desk and the microphones
🎈
@@chefryanj2012 to be fair they have the most prominent lines in the song
Are you really not gonna talk about how ALL I can hear is Philip Quast absolutely smashing it! XD
I can only imagine how powerful this must have been to experience in person rather than through an old video. Because even through this video, you can hear just how powerful everyone's voices are together so I can only imagine hearing how booming it must have felt to witness this in person.
Victor Hugo this is the fruits of your labor thank you for such a powerful and unforgettable book you have written for the world. Your work will go on forever and ever. Rest In Paradise Victor Hugo!
I read one comment that Hugo spent 17 years writing novel.
Les Misérables is one of the greatest stories in the world. I think if everyone stopped to read it we could be much happier as a species.
Ok, sure, Ireland nailed it, but he got the best part to sing, with the key change. That helps a lot.
To song is to short to have gotten through all 17 of them, so they repeated the whole song and edited a few lines. Hungary and Ireland sang the same line.
That’s what I thought too
No way. _"Some will fall and some will live, will you stand up and take your chance? The blood of the martyrs will water the meadows of France!"_ Australia got by far the best bit. Ireland got a single line.
He belted it out of the park!!!😉👍
Alex Saunders Aye Australia is repressing lad!
Now we just need 17 Javerts to sing "AND I'M JAVERT!"
It will be a big pleasure to sing internationaly but not worth to be Javert dude!!
+Legatus Marcus Your the type of person who makes me love the interner
OUTSTANDING! That guy from Austria was very powerful!
Can't explain why but having watched and heard that countless times I still can't watch it without a tear coming to my eyes. Astonishingly powerful.
Chills every time. It never gets old ❤❤❤❤
If we could all be together like this.
It shows just how truly international Les Miserables is. On the face of it it's the story of 19th century French protestors but it speaks to ALL people who are being downtrodden and have no rights.
Proletarians of the world unite and join the peaceful but challenging struggle. You have nothing to lose but your shackles! G'day mate from Australia 🇦🇺 .
it could be the new national anthem of the UK at present.
It is only about 20 or so countries that have translated versions though. I'd argue that this song actually represents a very Western view of revolution. Which makes sense, it is a French song. I'd say that it's not as translatable to other non-Western cultures as it may seem.
@@EternalShadow1667 I see, that’s quite interesting, would you happen to have a song you would consider more international?
Pretty much the song for anyone working in retail. Or anyone working in a corporate office and not in the C-suite.
I love how fantastically unifying this is. If you consider the tensions that have existed between some these countries and what some have done to others in only the last hundred years, it is such a massive accomplishment that they all stand here together, as one.
Stand With Might That’s the power of Les Miserables in any form In brings people together
People are the same in every country, only our governments divide us.
We need the World State my friend. Peace for humankind.
There are people alive today who remember when many of these countries fought in the most deadly war in human history against each other. It's amazing how far we've come in a human lifetime.
@@TheEnoses1 exactly
Japan was the only non-Western country to participate, and I am proud that Takeshi Kaga, the only person of non-European sang in Japanese, an Asian language. And Japan is the third country where Les Misérables has been performed, after the United Kingdom and the United States. 日本が唯一、欧米以外の国から参加した。そして唯一の有色人種として加賀武史さんが、アジアの言葉である日本語で歌ってくれたことを誇りに思う。そして日本はイギリス、アメリカに次いで３番目にレミゼラブルが上演された国だ。
Takeshi Kaga has the most resonant, vibrant voice. I saw him singing for the first time today. His voice is amazing. I can't believe this man was Iron Chef Chairman Kaga. I recognized his face from somewhere, and checked his bio. Someone should post videos of his musical performances.
It’s very nice.
誇り高いです。もし次があるなら香港を代表した方もお招きして頂きたいですね。
Of course he is know in the west as "The Chairman" from the Japanese Iron Chef.
@@eeduranti I had no idea he was a famous musical theater actor.
3:43 the Irish Jean Valjean is fantastic.
*Japan* : everything sounds better in Japanese
*Canada* : sounds too happy
*Austria* : takes this song VERY seriously
*Australia* : sounds *way* too happy singing "the blood of the martyrs will water the fields of France"
*Ireland* : IT'S MY ISLAND
Australia: ... will water the "meadows" of France. Just sayin'.
I feel like it was a missed opportunity to not have France sing "the meadows of France" part
The Europeans are mighty & powerful.... ....colonies wishy washy musical theatre style, very interesting
@@littlefrankygirl As a European, no.
@@littlefrankygirl So is your attitude. You need to open your mind a little bit.
I bet everyone in that room was hit with a wave of goosebumps when they sang in unison.
Even now I get goosebumps having watched this years ago.
Their faces melted like the Nazis in Raiders
Geesebumps?
I was, and I wasn't even fucking there
All the people of the world need to start singing before its to late to be heard.....
それぞれの国の方の、美しく力強い歌声が、心からの感動を与えてくれています。大変素晴らしいです。
その事はそうでしょう。
@user - vc6jo1th6k,1year ago I can't read write ,Hello Catherine how are you Doing ,
Fucking Ireland!! That was insane! I just keep looping the epicness of his voice over and over wishing I could just hear him sing the full thing
I want to hear him sing who am I and bring him home
Noor Semrani there actually is a video online of him singing Who Am I, but it's awesome to hear his intense voice in this song
Also, he sings the last part of the intro in the 10th anniversary, the "how long oh lord before you let me die"
I've seen his "bring him home" on youtube, search it
Ikr he killed it 👍
The Irish Jean Valjean has an incredible voice
どこの人ですか？
@@user-sy6gj8vb8v 뒤에서 3번째로 부른 사람.
Well the Irish know a thing or two about rebellion.
@gaelanwhite8842 This Song 🎵 Tell it all ,❤
@natebaily112,1year ago Thank,s Highighted it, Hello I am Catherine nice to meet you ,
All of them singing one day more at the same time gives me goosebumps. So amazing.
@ shelbcornell9482 months ago They all Different Country sing as well , I like History 👍 of it was amazing
Next version, 24,601 Jean Valjean actors singing
It's nearly midnight which sounds like a great time for me to fall in love with some Irish dude from a video that's nearly twenty years old that he's only featured in for three seconds.
I think he's also in the Prologue singing 'How long, oh Lord, before you let me die?'
😂😂😂😂
czcams.com/video/P1Q9fcFdQSY/video.html
Except he is Scottish. He just happened to appear in a production in Ireland. Just like Robert Marien appeared in a production in France even though he is Canadian.
@@hectorsmommy1717 Also, Rob Guest from the Australian production, was a New Zealander.
I love the two guys that turn to look at Ireland like "oh fuck he's gettin it"
Corinne Dolan Personally, I think a decent amount of credit should go toward the fact that his solo was not only at the key change, but also during a big bit in the crescendo. However, that being said, it can't be denied that Mr. Leyton fucking NAILED IT!
i thought the same thing! his energy + voice is very enjolras
Corinne Dolan っっっっっ
I loved espescially, Sweden, France, The Netherlands, Norway, Czech republic, Ireland and USA.
Regardless of the language, the feeling is understood. Brings me to tears each time I watch!!
Everyone loves Ireland's guy. I say Austria's was damn good.
yeah he was. But he sings like he's planning an attack on Poland.
I like the polish guy too.
Swedish Valjean is underrated.
I like all of them
And the Czech one.
I envy all those people who were lucky to see this live.
me too, like you must've been really lucky if you got to see this live
Why does the Japanese version sound so damn good? That's not a read. It's just an utterly different language with a very different musical legacy. I really want to see more of the show in Japanese.
Takeshi Kaga is very well known for his voice - speaking and acting.
In fact, when they dubbed Iron Chef Japan, they kept anything he was on screen speaking not dubbed (but subtitled) because the voice actor didn’t fit. (He is the chairman for the Japan shows).
It sounds like he’s trying to sing after burning his mouth from hot food.

Hong Kong lost. It was inevitable 😮💨
Jesus. That explosive hit of "One Day More". I would have killed to be in that theater just for that.
Then you'd have Javert after you.

Thank you!
The first part should be split in two, the man who sings with no name is Colm (who plays the bishop in the movie) who is Irish...
@@matiasrijo haha
@@bailzers5989 he was also the original valjean that I think got the musical off and running hence he started. It didn't do well in france as fair as I know. Though it may have changed now.
Saw it live. Unreal. Beautiful.
very lucky
Did you save a country in your past life?
Les Miserables in the Multiverse of Jean Valjean.
Javerts nightmare right here.
It's his wet dream. All those Valjeans in one place with very few exits and hundreds of witnesses.
Am I here Javert???
...or am I over here??
Does javert have his own group of javerts too?
"AND IM JAVERT!"
"No, IM JAVERT!"
"IM JAVERT!"
*17 Javerts begin dogpiling on eachother and pulling at eachother's hair*
More like the real reason why Javert killed himself
The Icelandic part is beautiful. Roughly translates to “this is a song of worship the likes of which was never sung in a church”
I get:
Þannig er söngur þeirra sem að
þrældóm aldrei vilja meir
which translates to:
So is the song of those who
Slavery never wants more
The lyrics to the song - in English - are: It is a music if a people who will not be slaves again.
Yes, and that’s more or less what the Icelandic words say, too...
Would love to listen to the icelandic full song tbh
He is called deception master, so he was successful 174 times with his bullshit :D
It is incredible how good this song sounds in any language. Also, the Japanese got a really handsome Jean Valjean ;)
I LOVE that they have all these different languages singing the same song, BEAUTIFUL. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Someone get Javert! Look at all the Valjeans he can catch
"Gotta catch' em all!" - said Javert xD
The Japanese Valjean was also Javert
DancingFeather Fun fact: Egill Ólafsson, the original Icelandic Jean Valjean, portrayed Javert in a new version in 2012!
I just spit out my water... XD
Javert's dead.
Norway and Ireland knocked their lines out the park
Austria did it for me. Wow.
Moonfang god damn Ireland
Tommonius i love how my country just blow the rest out of the water
***** just saying that the singer blow it out of the water for the music loving island of ireland
Tommonius i am part Irish and i totally agree !
I gotta make a personal timestamp for my fav part. Mr. Leyton nailed it
3:42
Fun fact, Egill has appeared in two productions of Les Miserables here in Iceland.
And playing a different leading role each time, first Valjean, then Javert. Wonder how many actors/singers can say the same (suspect not that many)
I watched his other videos, he is amazing. It’s a shame they sandwiched him between the 2 guys with stronger parts. (Ireland and U.S.)
I thought he gave one of the most impressive bits, despite not understanding the language. I could totally see him in the role.
Egill's my favorite of the 17! I'm impressed by all the creative work he's done over the years.
Are there videos of his performance on CZcams? I'd love to watch him!
I really liked his voice.
Ireland didn't come to play! He was snatching all them powdered wigs! I'd love to hear a version of just him!
Honorary Mentions: Austria, Norway, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Japan
Iceland also!!
All the English parts sound puny compared to the others. Except for Ireland's brilliant performance of course.
@Cherlock McFly Same thing with Poland. You can hear how hear how he has to rush to fit it all
Translating this to fit with an East Asian language while maintaining the meter has to be hard enough. Singing it has to be even harder. Mad props to them!
@Jacob Feagin czcams.com/video/P1Q9fcFdQSY/video.html, Enjoy
Damn Ireland. That was solid
If only there was a Scottish Valijean
Actually, Jeff Leyton IS Scottish!
Lexi Ober Then why is he representing Ireland?
I am guessing because he is best known for a production that showed in Ireland, I suppose.
Lexi Ober Colm Wilkinson is Irish
This is what peace among nations look like.
Norwegian and Irish men put their hearts in it fr
frickin' France pushed the UK Valjean like "MOVE! this is about MY history."
lollllllllllllllllllllll
Except that Robert Marien is Canadian.
Hector's Mommy Quebecois, that's pretty much the same.
Not only is it a different country, it is a different continent. Nope, not the same.
Hector's Mommy ffs Quebec was settled by the French so up until its joining of Canada, its the same history
Let's just acknowledge Ireland once more.
And that one was with conviction !!!
Imagine sitting in the audience. I would've bawled my eyes out
I must say, Egill Olaffson’s (Iceland) small part in this is my absolute favorite! Just look at how proud and elegant he looks!!
so many beautiful languages!
*Yes, si, oui, ja.* It's just me saying yes again and again. ;)
Generation tech! What are you doing here?
the countries participated were free country.
you watched this vid? Aren't you supposed to make more star wars theories?
I wished they added mexico
This is like the Olympic parade but for theatre
I watch this sometimes when I'm feeling down. It always cheers me up.
The first time I watched/listened to the 17 Valjeans sing I was stirred to tears. Regardless of how often I watch that one song let alone the entire concert I am still stirred to clap the performance.
Denmark is exactly how I imagine Valjean
I kinda wished that France had a bigger part in this rendition bc the story took place in the country
but the concert just seemed absolutely breathtaking
I loved hearing Lea through the chorus of Valjeans, what a strong voice!
It must have been such a memorable night for all the performers, musicians, and audience members involved
It’s more the fact that all 17 valjeans shared 3 mics whereas quast and Lea had their own that’s why their voice carries through the union, however I agree., I love this song
I thought France would get a slightly bigger share as well, not gonna lie, but now I'm curious to watch the show!
Yes, he is most famous for being an actor. I today I learnt he also was Jean Valjean. Cool.
Kurt Ravn who was the Danish was a magnificent Jean Valjean, really amazing. Stig Rossen is another Danish actor who has been Jean Veljean, however on West End. There is a beautiful video online of them singing together. Really great Valjeans both of them.
Robert Marien who performed in French is actually Canadian - and has performed the role in New York, London and Paris, in both English and French.
I don't think french has ever sounded so cool lol
And I'm pretty sure George Bush's doppleganger is one of these guys :D
We need to hear this around the world now.
Damm! When all the voices came together... Blown away🤯
Japan wins the Vidal Sassoon award because everyone is balding.
hahaha
Name...
Agreed.
It’s all that testosterone required to support that ballsy singing.
Fair the dude wins by default of having hair
This is what Civilization V would look like if there weren't wonders or Elefant Riders...
GOOFY GOOBER My bad, in german, we use f :D
GOOFY GOOBER Proud to be German and to call it an "Elefant". Though, of course, I love this version of the song due to it's various languages. We should keep this diversity since it's our culture and soul..

I can’t help but look at Mr. Hungary and just imagine that he’s slightly on his tip toes trying his best even though the mic is ever so slightly too high for him.
This will be the battle song we sing when we charge into battle against an alien invasion :P
+Merchant Ivory (filmstudent) or when those of us in the America's take up arms against a dictator who might bring the world into the brink of total chaos and world war aka, Mr. Trump. He then will hear millions of us singing, singing a song of VERY angry men, ones who will even now, join in the crusade, break down his potential barricades on liberty.
I was telling to myself the same during the whole video. We'd need to make up different lyrics, though, and i feel it wouldn't be the same without horses, so perhaps we should design mechanical ones.
More like Hillary getting elected. Trump is the most peaceful candidate up there. You have no understanding of the idea of "liberty" or what it meant for our ancestors.
Don't EVER tell me what I do or do not have gibson. In fact I spent two weeks biking on the coast of Normandy in June. I know EXACTLY what the understanding and history of liberty is. Just because I made a comment about a particular demagogue, don't EVER tell me I don't know this countries history or the history of our founding fathers and the like. IS THAT CLEAR?
+Charles Martel
Wow... How ignorant and horrible.
The Japanese singer was the host of Iron Chef
i'd love to see the Japanese version with him in it
Was just about to post this. xD
They literally don't look like the same person. Must be mistaken for the host of the cooking show.
He is an accomplished actor as well.
That facial expression he makes is very much in the character of his "Chairman Kaga" persona. I almost expect him to shout out today's mystery ingredient afterwards.
鹿賀丈史ってオペラ系にも出てたん初めて知った しかもすげえかっこいい 舞台に映える顔してる
All people, everywhere want freedom and are willing to die for it.
Good luck finding the real one, Javert.
"Good luck finding the real one, Javert."
Javert: Err, the only one in white without a tux?
I am Spartacus!
I am Spartacus!
I am Spartacus!
They’re all real what are you talking about?
LOL
Japanese Valjean is the Iron Chef chairman.
Also, I love the look on his face when he finishes his line. It's like "Hmm, did I forget to unlock the back door when I left the house?"
Norway was my favorite
Austria, Netherlands and France were also amazing
Agree.
I am, you are, we are Jean Valjens….
If the end of the world was announced this should be played the night before it happens. Would bring a tear to many eyes.
Ireland, Austria and Norway were my favourites
Sini Myllyniemi =_=
Sini Myllyniemi Same.
They were all fabulous !!!!!
Austria really looks like someone who could lift a cart off somebody in a pinch xD
Tusen takk fra Norge or Thank You from Norway
Wind was taken out of me when i heard all those tenors sing ‘one day more’
It's truly special to hear this song in my language (Polish) with my country being only few days away from probably the most important election since 1989
I can still hear lea salonga from that ocean of valjeans hahahah she is awesome indeed
Agreed!
Just Lea Salonga and Phillip Quast :)
haha that's exactly what I thought! Slay Queen ♕♥
Mr. Quast has an *AMAZING* voice since he can be heard over everybody else. ;)
Ireland, Austria, and Iceland totally slayed it.
日本人真是一个值得敬佩的民族，真正做到了脱亚入欧，为你们感到自豪！

Icelandic Jean Valjean strangling that microphone is going to land him in prison again.
the Japanese Valjeans is from iron chef.... whoa....
Yes! Chairman Kaga can sing!
I looked him up. He played the role of Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar, (1973) Thanks Apri for posting that. I would not have noticed...now I have learned something new.
I keep waiting to hear Allez Cuisine
