Stars | Les Misérables | Sung By 6 Javerts (Quast, Carpenter, Lewis, Secomb, Ball, Jaden) 

Everyone has their favorite Javert. To me, it's Quast. His voice and take on Javert is honestly my favorite.

For me Quast is Javert and always will be ….he still brings me to tears his voice and acting is unrivalled

Philip Quast IS Javert! Forever and ever, in ETERNITY! Amen. ❤

Philip Quast by far the best.

It is ludicrous to put Quast in this line up. All are great but Quast is simply out on his own in a different hemisphere

Nobody touches Quast’s performance

Quast is so phenomenal in his performance of Javert, it's unmatched

The best Javerts understand that Javert isnt there to make a fancy flourish with his song... the song is to convince you of his consistent passionate pursuit of his goal. Relentless, determined, and as inevitable as the stars.

Finally, a sequel to 17 Jean Valjeans Sing Do You Hear The People Sing

The editing is so seamless it sounds like they all are on stage singing their respective parts without the orchestra faltering as is to be expected with these edits.

All great , but Phillip Quast can’t be beaten on this song and character. In my view .

QUAST!!! NO NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT!

Quart is also my favorite. Voice, eyes, feelings and he never lets go.

Lewis is my favorite, his voice is so soothing

Les Miserables is for me the greatest Musical and always will be ❤

I grew up with Quast so he’s my faaaaavorite.

I’ve never listened to or watched Les Mis before, but I finally listened to the entire 10th anniversary concert yesterday, and I’m obsessed. And now, I am discovering that I also first listened to these songs in their best version, as well! It seems Colm and Quast are unquestionably the best performers of their respective songs. Many of these men are great vocalists, but I’m not hearing any of them bring as much emotion and agony to Stars or Bring Him Home as Colm and Quast do.

Norm Lewis is my favourite Javert - his Confrontation with Alfie Boe is absolutely spine chillingly good. I never really GOT Javert until I heard him sing the role.

Omg I keep watching versions of Les Mis- the best musical theatre ever And the very best of the best production has to be Philip Quast

quast has to be my favorite javert, hes just so great :)

Quast head and shoulders above these wonderful examples of Javert.

1. First of all, great editing! 2. They are all great 3. But including Quast isn't fair to the rest. He can never be beat. He is simply perfect for that role.

I saw Jeremy Secomb as Javert in the West End, his performance of Stars was just simply amazing, the memory will stay with me forever.

The Miserables Multiverse.

I wasn't looking at the video just listening and could not tell when it changed from Philip Quast to Jeremy Secomb. Those two are top tier and hands down the best Javerts.

Wilkinson and Quast. The originals and the best.

It's amazing how rich the final note became when lewis and quast appeared

Wow….when they hit the last note, tears came to my eyes. So emotional.

like many here, i grew up with quast and he will always be the definitive javert, but norm is a very very close second

Brilliant choices, fabulous editing , great work brining the amazing performers together as if they were one. Fantastic, thankyou.

Stars singing “Stars”! Perfect compilation! ❤

absolutely beautiful. quast will always be my fav

This works. This made me happy.

Javert is my favorite character in all of literature and I can - and have - spoken for over an hour at a time about him and (despite my enduring and obsessive love of the musical since age six) how every adaptation takes so much away from his character. I understand - my first copy of the brick was exactly 1234 pages long. So much needs to get cut (abridgments cut all three of my favorite chapters) for even the miniseries. But he is the most human of them all, to me. I love Jean Valjean. I love Javert. And I will until I die.

Quast as Javert is one of those performances that helped shape my love for musical theatre. Norm Lewis did a phenomenal job as well (I got to attend the 25th anniversary irl). Those two are my favorite. 1st Philip Quast. 2nd Norm Lewis.

Philip Quast resides in a universe that no one dare to venture.

we should start a petition to get Bryn Terfel to play Javert, that would be just perfect

There’s something so raw about this song. And how it sounds so different live. So good

Who is your favorite Javert and why is it Quast

Philip Quast is the Best Javert. Bravo!

Great job with this! The transitions are seamless and lovely. Such a great song and amazing musical.

I love Philip Quast first Than i saw Jemery Secombe in London - i absolutely loved it as he was new to the role and i wasn't expecting the amazing performance live ... Wow I seen others ... and im.so happy to see him here on the greatest Javerts :)

Quast is still King in my personal opinion but Secomb is as about as close to the perfection that Quast embodied. You can see the influence. My god they are incredible performers! Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of Michael Ball in this role though. I adore him as a performer, but this is just not his character.

Outstanding!!!

Quast!

Alternative titles: Javert actors get to sing with their hero (Philip Quast (yes even the ones who had the role before him))

Quest will forever and always be my favorite; it’s a testament to how good they all are that Lewis is only my third favorite; I have conflicted feelings about Ball because how can my Marius also be my Javert? So this is the best of…every world!

They’re all incredible but I really like the one at 1:41 (besides Quast and Lewis). That harmony at 2:36 is just *chef’s kiss*

Wow ..just WOW

Fabulous. Our favourite song from Les Mis

The answer is of course Phillip Quast 😂

Quast the best!

Quast is superb but my favourite is Michael Ball. Bradley Jaeden did an amazing job too

Totally amazing, thankyou for sharing.

What a stunning mix! Simply awesome! Well, well done!

The editing is incredible ✨

Michael Ball is my very favorite!!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m home alone. No one can stop me from blasting this on repeat for the next hour. Why, oh why, does RU-vid not have a “repeat video” function?

✨✨✨by the Stars...It starts with the *best💝* and it ends with the *best💝* --- at least for me and what made me fall in love with a voice. But also for the immensely large number of musical lovers and vocal coaches who have heard, seen and professionally evaluated the various *Stars* interpreters and also found the same quality. Everyone in this video is a wonderful performer and undoubtedly a master of their craft, but I am more than 💯.% a 💝 Philip Quast 💝 admirer with all my senses. But everyone! who sings in this "league" can only be fantastic. Therefore, this video is really wonderful for clearly recognizing the differences between the individual interpretations. I'm lucky (but sometimes it's also -unlucky-🔈🔉🔊 📍🎈😭🤢🤮 🔇😴) to have very sensitive ears. That means that when I can sometimes hear small differences, someone else hasn't noticed them and still can't hear them afterwards. Now, as is often the case, one could immortalize the individual, personal advantages but also the ***avoidable mistakes*** of each individual here. But if you're not really a master of music (I don't count myself among the masters, definitely not), you can usually only use this personal feeling to create a ranking. I'm not going to create this "ranking and the why" now, I'm just an incredibly enchanted 💝 Philip Quast - Javert fan 💝, because I love his voice, his beautiful open and "round" voice, the interaction and also the minimal but all the more effective acting in this concert version - 10th Anniversary, 8th October 1995 "Dreamcast by Cameron Mackintosh" - For me this interpretation is the most beautiful. The voices, the extra details. I can now recite the entire musical by heart and here, if you listen carefully just before the end, "Javert" is the antagonist and not a well-known Brit, but he received an incredible round of applause and only briefly thanked everyone with gestures before immediately "disappearing" again. In many interviews it is emphasized again and again how modest and incredibly friendly he is to fans he meets. 🥴 oh dear, and again it turned into a whole 'novel'. Please excuse it, but when you are really passionate about something, you can quickly get lost in it and again I apologize for my bad English, I live in Germany. Many greetings to everyone out there and respect and thank you for sticking with it until here. ✨✨✨

I'd love to see a Valjean version of this haha! Loved the video

Why am I crying

Bravo👏👏👏👏

This is absolutely amazing

WoW 👌

Quast--that is it! Finito!

Of the ones you have, Philip Quast and Norm Lewis are the best. But my favorite will always be Terrance Mann, the original, whom I saw on Broadway. Why is there no video as him as Javert?

The best video, ever.

Class all class - power stunning

Well that was just friggin cool!!

Marvelous editing work! Thank you for this video!

Made me cry........

This was brilliant! Couldn’t have picked a better set of Javerts either!

This song and video is pure Heaven!

Mr Carpenter with his pure baritone interprets Stars like no one else I have heard. In his very own very special way. Thank you 🙏🙏🎼🎵🎶🎶🎵

Just Beautiful...Voices so outstanding........................

One of my all time favorites. Thank you for putting this together!

Awesome!!

This was incredible.

Roger Allam will still always be Javert to me, just a shame there are no video recordings of his Stars

Amazing!!!!!!

That was truly wonderful! The end made me cry. That edit was perfect. Thank you.

I love this musical❤

this was so epic to watch i love it ❤❤❤❤

This mashup is rad, thank you!

Quast is the only Javert, that voice and the emotion he brings from me. 😊

This was epic!

'Kin brilliant!!!

beautifully produced!

That was great -- thanks so much.

I prefare Philip Quast

Great bit of editing

Quast/Jaden for me
