The way that he kind of breaks on "I'll be there" after screaming 5 seconds earlier makes me wanna cry. It's also so beautiful when he talks through "Just be real is all I'm asking, not some painting in my head. Cause I'm dead if I can't count on you today", but on 'today', he starts to transition into a beautiful singing voice with vibrato. I love him so much
Tbh you can tell Jeremy has loved this role/song all his life. Not only is he a phenomenal actor and singer but he KNOWS Jack in a way I think most don't. You can see that he put so much thought into his performance even in the clips out there of the pre-papermill reading when it was still the new, sadder version of the song. Corey also did an excellent job (especially since it was his debut) and Joey is up there too. They both seem to pick up on the raw anger, fear, regret, etc that Jeremy originated without just copying his performance.
Jeremy Jordan there were so many aspects that made him the best. His voice and how steady and strong he was, the emotion that he brought in just a few words and his voice to the tune
im honestly at a four way split between jeremy, corey, joey, and christian lmao. jeremy is the broadway one im used to, and his vocals are extremely good and emotional. corey also has a lot of emotion and genuinely i love his voice. joey in his performance was also really good! like, i love his emotions in it as well. and christian has a different vibe to it- and considering hes the original jack kelly, i say he def has a spot in my list! christian's is calmer and less sad, more dreamy i would say. theres a dreamlike quality to all of them but christian's especially. i cant even rank them, theyre all so good. christian's is underrated imo.
How interesting I felt like christians felt more sad. Melodically speaking, I felt a sadder vibe in the way he ends it on the octave down instead of belting his heart out. It felt as though he gave up, and at a loss of energy. This is just my opinion though. I still prefer Jeremy's haha
Corey and Jeremy were the ones I grew up with. My parents took me to Newsies in 2018. But the first one I ever listened to was Christian. He holds a special place in my heart.
ik like the third one was kinda bad ngl, his voice in fine but the technique... and the fact that they had everyone come in on the sides and sing for the end made it weird and ruined the moment
@@ethancoulter9305 I found the full production of Kyle- it’s a performing arts school. The vocals were fire, but for some reason the music director decided to slow down every single song and it annoyed the crap out of me. Like I’ve been singing these songs since middle school, and they aren’t hard… slowing them down is completely unnecessary!
I know this video is old but I just wanna say for all future Jack Kelly’s that it’s important to stay grounded in the last note of Santa Fe remember that less is more. There’s a kid in there that sound amazing but moved across the stage before the note. It felt awkward make sure that your movements have purpose.
Which version of Santa Fe is this? Kyle’s by far my favorite in the prologue version. That’s just how it works for me. But this version it’s a close tie between Jeremy and Christian. I like Jeremy’s sudden mood swing, but I also like the dreaminess in Christian’s voice. All of them are dreamy, but Christian takes the cake for the dreamiest.
Idk if it would be considered pitch correcting or not bc in an interview before the premiere of the movie, Jeremy said that he sang Santa Fe like 8 times before the live performance to get the closeups for the song, and as a result, had weakened his voice. The note at the end was still him singing, just from a different take. The editing on it just really sucks.
Jeremy Jordan will always be the best one in my opinion, I don’t rlly like Christian’s version, it feels more singer songwriter-y than from a musical, I understand he’s not a singer and therefore doesn’t have the same vocal range as broadway actors do, but it just feels kinda boring to me, it’s great, but I will always love Jeremy Jordan’s version most
christian bale lol makes me wanna rip my eardrums out. not just the lyrics but WHEN HE DOESNT SING THE LAST NOTE (ik thats just not right for his voice but still lol
@@SomeRandomNewsiesFanJeremy ADDED the last note. It wasn’t in the original movie production. How can you expect someone to sing a note that wasn’t added until broadway?
@@otiwolly_ ik it was different. its just what im used to. and IM SORRY BUT JEREMY JORDAN ATE. christian bale is an amazing actor, just not the best singer
@@SomeRandomNewsiesFan i like Jeremy Jordan as well, he’s one of my favorite broadway singers. But your comment mentions the fact Christian didn’t sing the last note, so i was just saying how it wasn’t added yet.
