Stark Sands is STILL BETTER at this song than Brendon is, HOWEVER, I ❤️ them both in the role, and singing it half an octave lower (how Brendon is singing it here) is MUCH EASIER than how Stark sang it. I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Brendon's "pop vocal run" however on the final "What else could I do?", that was his original spin on it. And that last note is a KILLER; I often have to riff it myself to get it out.
Brendon has been doing this since the beginning of Panic (lowering the key so he can be more comfy) since Panic's bangers are hard for him to sing in the original key. But I can't deny the difficulty broadway has to offer.
So I’m in a regional production of Kinky Boots and there is an “alternate key” that the score technically uses. And while it also helps the lead, it’s also easier for the ensemble to sing that beautiful backup especially since you can’t really see the conductor since it’s being sung “off stage” (behind the wall). So it’s a lot easier for the ensemble to get that sound at the slightly lower key (Eb instead of E).
UGH THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I’ll never forget how he belted out this song. *Shame on you for filming* I guess but I freaking love that I can finally relive this!!
@@gdmya I actually meant that, at least in this clip cause I havent seen the show, he looks like he's playing himself and singing in his usual style in concerts
