    My husband, daughter and I went to Nick’s first Broadway performance as Young Neil in “A Beautiful Noise” and he was fantastic!!! We were shocked as my husband and I had only heard his high vocal talent he was blessed with. His voice as Neil Diamond was spot on!!! Nick should not be an alternate only 2x a week. He is the real deal.

    Absolutely wonderful! I grew up with Neil Diamond playing as my mother was a huge fan. My husband is a huge AC/DC, Def Leppard, hard rock fan - but has a secret obsession with Neil Diamond music. When I started playing this he shouted from the other room "TURN IT UP!!!" and came out of the bedroom singing along. He was shocked when I said "And that wasn't even Neil."

    Just sat here and played this for my husband. We were signing it together. Whe it was over I showed him ot wasn't Neil. He was blown away. I can't imagine being the casting director when you came in to play and audition for the part. Well done. Goosebumps

    Wow. My Grandmother took me to see ND when I was 10, front row. I can’t imagine what she paid for those tickets right after the jazz singer came out. I never understood why she wanted me to go and I became a lifelong fan at the age of 10 of Neil Diamond’s music. Also a fan of American Idol so this was a shocker of a surprise. Nick is incredible.

    This song always make me cry.
    But you know I keep thinkin' about
    Making my way back
    Well I'm New York City born and raised
    But nowadays
    I'm lost between two shores
    L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
    New York's home
    But it ain't mine no more
    "I am"... I said
    To no one there
    And no one heard at all
    Not even the chair.❤

      @skiron100 4 месяца назад

      i guess you forgot Neil wrote this so it can never be "as good"......covering a song is easy if you have a great voice but creating the song is something else, just my 2 cents.
