It amazes me that this dude isn’t a bigger name on Broadway or in the Musical Theater world. He’s got everything going for him: looks, talent, can sing/dance/act, good comic/dramatic chops, naturally very funny…why isn’t he a leading man? He should be, by all rights.
i sang this rendition of Poor Unfortunate souls for a musical audition and i made the director laugh, and she said "We'll let you know" after a weeks of waiting i got the part Thank you Brian Charles Rooney
Nice performance! Casting a male as Ursula actually works really well. There was recently a production of The Little Mermaid with John Treacy Egan (who was Chef Louis in the original Little Mermaid Broadway cast) as Ursula, and he was incredible. I feel the reason it works so well is because the original animated character was based on the drag queen Divine, and Pat Carroll still brought some of that in her performance. This was something that was lacking in Sherie Rene Scott's performance as Ursula.
This brings me so much pleasure. Not only is the fellow unbelievably handsome and has a great voice, the performance even has this comical relief to it that it ought to have. Bravo!
I've only just discovered this song (never saw the cartoon, can't wait for the Live action thing to come out!), and I've been binge watching different versions of this, and this one is nearly perfect. Totally should have casted this guy in the live action version.
Dude... I just listened to a few others and this guy beats all of the women out! Surrendering fully to the character is important. ESPECIALLY, when singing a villain's song.
This is my favourite version of this song from far ! I've listened to it so many times I know it better than the original and the song in my own langage :'D I am totally in love with his interpretation

"You better sing that song the witch sings from the mermaid movie, okay!" Oh God I'm dying!

I'm nine years late to the party, but I almost spat diet coke on my monitors when he did that!
The pianist is hilarious!

Alex Newell's is amazing
the range in his voice is just unbelievable
No? It’s not that …out standing
No but being able to perfectly replicate the way Disney tells a story while singing songs is really impressive tho
I want to hear this guy sing jacks lament from nightmare before Christmas

I just finished a video of yours then I come hear and see your comment. Coincidence, I think not.
He's so perfect as Ursula...and a what a dapper dresser.
Why is this song so infinately better every time a man sings it?
Cause the original character is based off a drag queen
I live for the way he says pathetic

This guy is the EPITOME of entertainment! And pianist is hilarious!
Everytime he says ''poor unfortunate souls '' i get goosebumps , and idk why ?
I must say his “go ahead and sign the scroll” is biting and I love it
Handsome man and what a voice. It’a a gift to be able to tell a story through song - and he does it impeccably.
This brings me so much pleasure. Not only is the fellow unbelievably handsome and has a great voice, the performance even has this comical relief to it that it ought to have. Bravo!
Wow wow wow... This is much more than singing the song. This is interpreting the song.
His enunciation is impeccable! 💜💜💜
He should definitely be a voice actor.... he is awesome!!!
He could probably sing that song Preminger sang in Princess and the Pauper xD he's awesome
He and Titus Burgees have the best renditions of this song
What the hell ??? What a voice ?!??! 😭😭😭
i cant stop watching this
OMG, what a voice! Phantom next, please. In London. I must insist.
I've only just discovered this song (never saw the cartoon, can't wait for the Live action thing to come out!), and I've been binge watching different versions of this, and this one is nearly perfect. Totally should have casted this guy in the live action version.
THE BEST I have seen outside of the first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my favourite version after all these years. Well done.
