It sounds to me like they sped the song up slightly to fit it into the time slot. That could explain why he’s a little uncomfortable. I’ve seen the show twice and he was spot on both times!
It’s defintiely slightly above tempo - they did the same to Six on one of their live performances (I want to say BGT?) and it really impacts the performer
You definitely need to watch the full version that they filmed and released, he does a better performance. I do think nerves is a major issue, he'syoung and this is the Olivier's, it's the equivalent of a young guy making his Broadway debut and then performing at the Tony's, it's a massive deal for him.

I cannot tell you how much I love Jamie. I saw it in London, and it was SO COOL! Maybe I'm just partial to it because I'm a gay teen named Jamie who wants to be a performer (although I don't do drag.) Layton Williams was playing Jamie then, and he was doing it on the tour before theaters closed for covid. He's amazing, and I know there's a couple videos of him floating around youtube, so if you get the chance I would definitely encourage you to check him out!
They DEFINITELY sped up the song so it’s throwing him off a bit. Not to mention he’s dancing his ASS off. And also, the vocal flips are intended. That’s how it was recorded as well.
i don’t know if he smokes but could be because of how extra the character is he’s giving more to the dancing? also could be due to the nerves from performing at the oliviers?
There’s another song he sings called wall in my head which has much less choreography and a lot more vocals, maybe if you would like something to compare it to listen to that!
I heard that John isn’t a fan of doing the press junkets and public appearances although I’ve seen Jamie 3 times, twice with john and he absolutely nailed it both times. Love your channel though. X
Ok. You can tell by my username that I am a massive fan of John, I have a fanpage on tiktok and I’ve gotten about 10’8k followers. I disagree with some of the stuff you are saying, if you watch any other version of this song u would see that any other actor who has played Jamie does the same thing with the high notes. He’s running out of breath becuase he’s dancing and running about. LOADS! he’s obviously panicking because I believe that this is the first time he’s performed at an award show. No wonder he was running out of breath!
In terms of higher notes, check this song out from the musical that John sings: it’s the hardest song in the show ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2QLSsf66bQE.html

@@SongsFromASuitcase of course :) was only suggesting in your own time as it’s a short song, I saw John over 70 times in the role and am friends with him :) I’ve auditioned for the part myself but then covid hit
I would love to react to all the amazing artist and shows out there but with so many good options to choose from, I need your help making a decision by leaving ideas on my community board 🥰 Here’s the link 😁 ru-vid.com/show-UCUd6f8IvYBlD7rz4cjOAMdAcommunity
The song is sped up in this and this was his first television performance so he was probably very nervous. I’ve seen him videos when he’s in actual musical and he’s amazing so much better and more comfortable

I actually don’t know if John is a smoker, maybe he is. I think this doesn’t show his full potential. You’d have been better looking at the proshot version 💙
Yeah he is a smoker but there are definitely better performances but they are like a recorded performances for cinema that shouldnt be on RU-vid but are which is great

Id like to see you sing that well whilst dancing around everywhere, don’t say “is he a smoker” or “he’s uncomfortable” if u were put on stage at a giant award show your gonna be nervous and he’s probably 50x better than you. Also sort that black thing on your tooth out.
i love john and this show but, as is the case with most olivier performances, this was not the best performance there’s a legal recording of this show that i think is on youtube where they all sound a lot better !!
also, i think another reason he sounds breathy is because the royal albert hall theatre is *a lot* bigger than the one they perform in normally, so they’re dancing around a lot more than usual to fill the stage properly
Hello Song in a Suitcase! I know you might not notice this, but I can't post it on Twitter :( but can you react to Never Shutting Up Again by T'shan Williams?
