      i just finished watching the 10th anniversary. Yknow where im form, we expect old people to slowly be unable to sing. I dont know how u did it. But i think you could potentially make a better version of the 17 Valjean lineup with that aged voice@@JeffLeyton

    Perhaps I’m going to express a controversial opinion, but Jeff Leyton is the BEST Jean Valjean ever to occupy the role. A fierce power inhabits his voice. A raw power. Incomparable in its yearning for freedom.

    I have a tattoo on my right shoulder - a waving red banner with “Do you hear the people sing?” written across it. Les Miserables was the first musical I ever experienced (5 years old- for some reason mum was upset!) and this song in particular has been one a lifesaver for me many times ❤

Heard in the 'Les Miserables: Do you hear the people sing: Sung by 17 Jean Valjeans from around the world' and your short but brilliantly strong and powerful voice especially over the what seems the band got even louder so you really had to sing loudly yet so clear drew to thinking the power of youtube will fine this chap.

Your powerful voice stayed in my memory and I immediately recognized it when I saw the 10th anniversary (at the start in Look Down as well as the 17 Valjeans at the end) To this day, I remain very proud that you were 'my' Jean Valjean. Thank you very much for making this.
