I feel like when people anticipate so long off a pilot, then to hear a different voice in the show, its a shock and they tend to immediately dislike it. Myself, i didnt watch the pilot until like 4 episodes in, so I ONLY knew this voice as Angel Dust and the "original" doesn't fit to me. This one is PERFECT.
At least he didn’t try to do the actual track, the acoustic version sounds hard enough to keep up with the tempo. The actual instrumentals would ruin anyone’s voice live
@@zachh8179 agreed! The changes made to the lyrics (minor mind you, literally just cut out the yeahs) and the acoustics are necessary for a live performance like that!
Not hate! But I actually feel like the pianist is going a bit too fast! Awesome work, but still a bit too fast and it made Blake struggle a bit where he shouldn't have needed to ❤️ Again a great performance, but I think if the pianist gave a just a BIT more room (followed Blake's natural pace a bit more) it would have allowed for a more stunning performance!!
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME. THE PIANIST WAS FUCKING HIM UP. I HAD A HARD TIME FOCUSING ON BLAKES VOICE BECAUSE OF HOW SHIT HE WAS PLAYING. Thank you very much. Have a good night
@@wolvencreator8585 thats how it is with fast tempo songs though, you dont feel it when you listen to them because the studio version is flawless, but then you try to sing it yourself and youre like "how in the hell are they able to keep up with this?" and thats why these people are professionals
@@thesaucylorax if he was so disgusted and disassociated with his former self, he wouldnt have signed the contract to Valentino with his original name. The running fan theory is that Anthony is the authentic self he longs to get back to, devoid of all facade and flirtations he has to put on to get through the dredges of his occupation
@@thesaucylorax well, it's kinda like a mask. It's obvious that he doesn't want this life, and calling himself by the stage name puts just a sliver of distance between him and his reality.
No one is singing along like he asked. Not bc they don't know the words, not even bc they don't want to. It's bc everyone is just mesmerized by his voice and whole performance! It was silent in that room bc they LOVED it!!!
nobody sang along for happy day in hell either. i think itd j feel embarrassing to sing along bc its a small place and nobody else is singing. if it was a big concert its more comfortable
The Fact that angel in a way created a safe space for me to actually cry and remember traumas that have been forgotten. The fact he made me realize that it is trauma no matter what form it is or what has happened. Blake Roman really did a great job voicing a character millions can connect too.…the way the actor himself made a safe space for others as well even if he’s not playing angel in the moment.
@@valorrios6679 the most important thing is it’s universally acknowledged meaning we have everything for SA victims, emotional abuse, physical abuse and ones who have suffered a combination. Little or big traumas at least someone finally spoke about it 🩷, found representation without censorship or butchering or watering it down
@@user-vq3jr8ne4u Exactly! What I really like about the scenes in episode 4 is that they show the reality of SA and abuse without censoring it or trying to sugarcoat/romanticize it so it's "easier to digest"
Michael Kovach did such an amazing job. And Blake is absolutely killing it. Holy fuck this guys voice is so amazing. An absolutely amazing pick for Angel omfg
@@Da_Lux_Games good. They seem to specifically target anything big like hazbin hotel along, murder drones, and digital circus. Anyone who isn’t those brainless morons, keep it up if you are doing it. Just remember to not reply to them and only report them. That feeds their fragile ego.
@@Duckzrandoms People want to amass attention as some sort of bragging resource, no matter what that attention may be. All I see everywhere is just attention grabbing for the sake of it.
I finally got around to watching a few days ago - it really is a great song, performed phenomenally, and it’s also just really uncomfortable, which I think is part of the point. I was cringing and curling up so much during that sequence that my husband asked me if I was okay. 😅 It resonated, is all I’ll say.
1:58 I love how at this part you can kinda hear how he implements the voice cracks and the “Angel” voice. I enjoyed Michael Kovach as Angel in the pilot but I feel like with Blake you feel the emotion, this may be my opinion but I feel like he was 100% the better choice. No hate to Michael Kovach obviously I love him on other projects I just feel like Blake really shows the character. Lots of love to everyone!❤❤❤
yeah, i did, also its supposed to be "so far beyond difficult to resist another gulp" after the second set of lines, but then again this was before hazbin premeired and i assume its hard for him to memorize everything, and he still did super good!
I think people don't get this song. They say if glorifies abuse but I take it as a song about the people in abusive relationships that stay in them even though they know they're abusive. Cause some people just don't know how to or want to break up
Yeah this song does NOT glorify abuse. The song is from Angel's perspective of realising he's self destructive because of the situation he's in. The animation takes this even further with him only managing to work in the sex industry by filling his body with drugs and dissociating to get through. The people who can't see that have the critical thinking of the egg bois
Yeah i watched my mom suffer in these relationships. Ive tried to suffer through them. It isn't glorifying it unless you think something being catchy means the song is about it being fun. No its about the pain and it captures that feeling well.
I can see how much emotion he put into this song! Hes such a good singer and actor dude! I personally love angel dust so to see the actual actor sing it in person is soooo cool!
I love how ppl are complimenting him but other people can do this without breaths and get no praise. Like I can sing the entire chorus without stopping.
Blake and Michael have beautiful and gifted voices. Blake will always be a lovable voice actor, Michael will be missed, and in general the two are unmatched. Blake is gonna do amazing in the show and he did amazing here. I can't wait to see EP4!
I am Japanese. I'm using a translator. Sorry if I misunderstood the word 😢 First of all, his singing voice, his voice is very attractive and suits Angel Dust well. We look forward to his future activities! I love his voice and himself ❤ Angel Dust of course! ! 😂😂 Next, about the comment section here. What I often see are comments about people criticizing his voice. I haven't seen any comments that are actually critical, but I'd like to take this opportunity to share my opinion. I watched both the Japanese and English versions (including the pilot version). It was wonderful. The Japanese pilot version certainly had a big difference. Still, I was impressed by how well they both fit Angel. And in the English pilot version, I didn't notice much of a difference. Maybe it's just that I don't understand the difference because I'm Japanese, but I don't think there's much of a difference. Even if you feel different and are uncomfortable with it, if you are a fan of Hazbin Hotel, including myself, shouldn't you accept it? That's what a fan is. It is important to express your opinion from time to time, but excessive criticism cannot be considered an opinion. It's a stupid thing to do because you lack calmness and can't control your emotions. Lastly, I love his voice, the voice in the pilot version, the voices of all countries, and I love the voice actors themselves. Each of them has their own charm and respect. This applies to everything, not just the voice actors of Angel Dust. Season 1 of Prime Anime has ended, but let's eagerly wait for Hazbin Hotel's future activities as a wonderful "fan"! 😊 From a certain Japanese fan.
What I love is that with each of the songs sang live... they say sing along if the audience likes... but the audience are quiet.... just wanting to hear them sing xx I love that xxx
I seriously don't get why people are complaining about Blake being the new voice... HIS VOICE IS LITERALLY PERFECT FOR ANGEL DUST Edit: Mom I'm Famous :0
@@sensitivefanofytshows I'm not talking about this comment section... I'm talking about the general group of people who say his voice is bad and mainly ALOT of comparing between the old VA and the new, I've seen it everywhere and I don't get them
Personally I like both voices like the pilots and the new ones. They put effort into choosing the voice actors and the actors put effort into the roles! But either way people who bash one or the other is weird to me to. Sure people can have preferences but that doesn`t mean they can be mean to people probably going above and beyond in what they did/are doing.
At first, I didn't like this. AT ALL... but then I realized something. This isn't supposed to be Angel specifically. This performance is supposed to be the man BEHIND Angel, unadulterated, real, and true. When I realized that, I came to the same consensus I had when this song first came out. And that is that Blake has been FUCKING KILLING IT. Hell yeah dude get it
I think this song has a lot to do with the writer as well. Fizarelli's story (helluva boss) has echoes of the same story. Not sure what the author has been through, but these stories scream firsthand experience of oneself or a loved one going through an abusive relationship.
No spoilers, but I loved Blake's performance in the first two episodes, and I can see where Angel's character is going. There's one part so far that hit hard, and I think it'll resonate with fans when they see it widespread.
And also, WOW.. the ending is definitely one of the most tragic parts of a song I've ever heard, sang with such emotion and heart, the lyrics are just devastating and his performance elevates it to the highest form of devastation... this man deserves a Tony award for that!! And I actually think this live performance sounds even better than the one in HH! Just INCREDIBLE job Roman, you're going places and you deserve every single thing you have and will earn in the future!! Love u so much babe!!!❤❤❤
The simple piano instead of the drums and techno music really puts focus on the emotional side of the song. No bells and whistles - it’s RAW in a wonderful way.
@@dmitrivologoslav true it was pretty bad tho I still enjoyed it but I'm a long time fan so I'm biased. I do think if you watch the pilot it's better at least by a little bit and I think the pilot is really good compared to the rest of the show
Can we just take a moment to recognize these amazing song writers? It's one thing to make a song for a show, it's another to knock it out of the park back to back to back and people can't get it out of their heads or their playlists lol
I'm not crying, you're crying. 🥺🥺🥺 (other than bawling my eyes out every time I hear this freaking song, daaaaaayuuuuuum, incredible and all kinds of impressive)
HIS VOICE IS SO GOOD!!! he is actually perfect for angel. omg guys 3 more days till it comes out I'm actually crying rn i can't wait. viv and the team have grown so much i have been a fan since zoophobia and watching her grow is just amazing. she has made it so far. her and the team
I got literal chills, his technique is amazing! As a singer this man is great! I don’t know why people don’t like him as Angel, he has done a perfect job!
I think people don't just like that they replaced the old voice, but they really say it out of pure nostalgia (spending three years listening to Michael in the hunny cast from before the pilot came out may have helped that)
Blake did a really unique and such an incredible job in voicing Angel Dust and making such a blast song. It's Soo FREAKING AMAZING AND PHENOMENAL THIS ONE I SWEAR THE CREW AND VIV DONE THIS SOOOO DAMN AMAZING AND IMPRESSIVE
I don't usually comment, I'm a pretty silent subscriber, but I just had to: this is so surreal to me. I love your art, Viz, I love Helluva and Hazbin; I watch it so often, my partner, (who also loves your work), has now begun to put headphones on when I watch, because it's too much for him. lol. Helluva has been such a comfort show for me the last few years especially, as I'm sure it is for so many people. I'm an artist and a singer, and the talent here ALONE holds me captive. And all that was already more than enough! But then, I did a double take at the venue sign behind Blake, and realized he is singing in the first bar I ever sang in; the cabaret bar my mother sang in for decades before she had me, and then brought me to perform with her, like handing off a beautiful, bawdy torch with a sparkling microphone dripped in glass crystals in the center; a keepsake I haven't even seen in years. But then clicked on this video, and there was Blake, singing into that keepsake so passionately. Thank you so, so much.
OMG YES ❤ I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!! I CANT WAIT FOR THE RELEASE OF HAZBIN HOTEL!! Angel Dust's new voice is amazing! From a pilot on youtube, 4 years later, to a full show on Prime! Good job, Viviziepop and crew! 👏
Oh my god this performance is amazing! Blake's voice is incredible and crisp and I can hear the Angel Dust pouring in as he sings. God this is so damn good!
