The most beautiful sound I ever heard Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria Maria, I've just met a girl named Maria And suddenly that name will never be the same to me Maria! I've just kissed a girl named Maria And suddenly I've found how wonderful a sound can be Maria, say it loud and there's music playing Say it soft and it's almost like praying Maria, I'll never stop saying Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria Maria, say it loud and there's music playing Say it soft and it's almost like praying Maria, I'll never stop saying: Maria The most beautiful sound I ever heard Maria
I loved West Side Story when I first saw it on film. i was 14 and I thought it was beautiful. John sings Maria so wonderfully, he has such a lovely voice!
John, I love how you sing this song. I am 8 years old and I love musicals and I've been involved in several of them. You have natural talent and a lovely voice. It's really nice to watch you. I wish you success in your career. I hope you're straight too. I would love to marry someone like you. Valentina
i love this song and i singing just like him his way i mean...he is so talented i imagine his mother in the theather so proud...God bless you John!!!!! xoxo
You know, I was interested to hear this. I hadn't really been impressed with John Barrowman's singing previously, but I give him kudos for this song. True, his voice cracked in a few places, but it does take a tremendous amount of talent to even begin to pull off a song like this.
that was amazing it wasn't a danger zone for john now was it. You hit the end note and it was amazing. I don't think anyone or anything could top what he just sang. Amazing singer John Barrowman his I am what I am is the best version of that song i have ever heard check it out
I tried to explain to someone in a comments section the different ways in which Bernstein resolved the tritone interval in West Side Story, and the effect that the method of resolution had on the emotional impact of the music. This person didn't know what "resolution" was. OK, so go listen to the Prologue, and then this song. Thats what I meant. Different ways of resolving the tritone, with vastly different effects.
Still love this version. Just back from seeing the Spielberg film. Loved it but John sings it perfectly. I love hearing a real singer with no auto tune, just perfect intonation and tuning 🥰
Hannah There was NO Autotuning in the new 2021 Steven Spielberg Version of West Side Story, either! Ansel Elgort NAILED this role and the Singing! Sorry you can't see/hear that!
@@hannahw90hwI didn't say you didn't either, but guessing you were referring to someone using Autotune in the new Movie, (which I know for a FACT they did NOT and much was Recorded live); and in this case, you probably were referring to the Actor who played Tony in the new 2021 Steven Spielberg Movie Version, Ansel Elgort, who I thought was PHENOMENAL in EVERY way in the role, of course nothing against John Barrowman, who also has a real nice Voice, I just prefer the INCREDIBLE Tone, Emotion and Timbre of Ansel's Voice! Have a good Day!
His sexuality is irrelevant, he sang the song perfectly, and fot those criticizing his voice have no actual knowledge of singing, his tonal range for a guy is fantastic, he didn't put a single note wrong in any octave. Great performance
when I was watching west side story I sat next to my friend named maria and right in the first row and 'tony' stood in front of us all the time while singing this :D oh jooohn, that was so beautiful.
from experience this is a really hard song to sing and full marks to John for his efforts, no he may not be a perfect tenor but his rich voice and charming performance makes up a solid, consistent performance. Remember, this was 100% live and you cant always be at your best!
There are at least 93 people with no idea what real music is. This song is one of my favourites and John Barrowman is a fantastic singer.
Wow! What a great, passionate rendition of a classic song! 🥰

Great performance. He really injected his own style into this classic song. :)
"The most beautifuk sound I've ever heard." You mean your voice, John?

@@janebarry-fraundorf4623 I didn't say I didn't love the film. I just praising John barrowman

Spielberg's version cannot compare to the original. Spielberg should have known better.
John very recently became a huge idol of mine, and it would be a dream come true for me to meet or even contact him :)
aww hes soo lovely he made an amazing job of it!!! :P
Precision! Bang on,great diction. Makes all the difference. And power!
His sexuality is irrelevant, he sang the song perfectly, and fot those criticizing his voice have no actual knowledge of singing, his tonal range for a guy is fantastic, he didn't put a single note wrong in any octave. Great performance
oh that was gorgeous, john barrowman
tout simplement génial ! merci !
Good old john barrowman. Singing captain jack. Great voice.......👍👍👍

AMAZING!
I love this guy! He does this song more than justice no matter what anyone else is saying. John does such a great job with all Sondheim

WOW he should be on The Masked Singer. His got such a great singing voice. Sounds like Michael Crawford.
o_o
I knew he could sing wonderfully but THESE NOTES. I shivered!
oh yeah, I think John can sing just about anything he wants. This song proves it, too. What a voice he has!!
That's my name
Wow, John Barrowman is crazy talented ... love Torchwood, but didn't realize he had such a GREAT voice too ...
That end note is amazing
THIS MAN IS TOO PERFECT!!!!!!!!!
J'ai adoré le film (1ère version bien sur)....mais cette interprétation est juste magnifique ! Merveilleux acteur, merveilleux chanteur !!
and now is springtime for MARIA and Bernstein!!!
Wow, that was really nice. Good one, John.
Beautiful, he nailed it! =D
Sometimes in my dreams I wish I could sing like that. 10/10!
JOHN I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE A MUSICAL THEATRE GEEK I LOVE YOU.

Yeah, he nailed it good. Very hard song.
Well done. Xx

from experience this is a really hard song to sing and full marks to John for his efforts, no he may not be a perfect tenor but his rich voice and charming performance makes up a solid, consistent performance. Remember, this was 100% live and you cant always be at your best!
