Nick Jonas can be passable as Marius. The thing is his co singers are really excellent so his performance is drowned out. And this is the 25th anniversary, a recorded version of the show. He’s extremely lucky to be chosen as Marius over the many other actors in the show’s 25 years when there could have been Mariuses more excellent than him.
His acting is the main thing that makes me not like his performance. His hands are always in the same position and he always has the same expression on his face
@@kennethpeel7732 You've misunderstood! I love Samantha Barks. I was only commenting on how strong her voice is. Even without a microphone, I'm sure the audience in the back would still hear her clearly!
Absolutely stunning voice and such talent. With that being said, this song is supposed to be gentle, wispy, and even a bit breathy and broken. Definitely not the type of song to flex one's superb singing voice.
@@gabbo164 I agree with her, she does have a TREMENDOUS voice but at the same time she seems so confident and imo way more than it should be, my favorite performance is from the 10th anniversary by far, it seems she’s really dreaming, it’s like this one she’s asking herself the questions but the felling is excitement while the 10th the felling was doubt, not saying it’s wrong tho, it depends on the felling this songs brings to you and for me is doubt so I’d rather the 10th anniversary performance
disagree, imo film acting and musical acting are two different crafts that shouldn't become infused into each other. the entire point of singing is that it's distinct from simply speaking - so trying to speak-sing kind of just defeats the purpose of the musical medium and just creates bad singing. check out Sideways' video essay on Les Misérables (film version), it explains my idea a lot better.
I personally liked her better than the 25th anniversary girl. Cosette is frustrated teenage girl and i can believe that when I watch this actress, both of them are beautiful singers but the 10th anniversary girl seems like a love sick mature 25 woman which the actress probably is but cosette most certainly isn’t. That’s just my opinion, but don’t be so quick to dismiss other versions of les miserables.
How I wish that instead of Les Mis she was christine in the phantom 25th concert and John Owen Jones The Phantom... it SHOULD have been them. cameron mackintosh is a mercenary scumbag. JOJ deserved the poto concert, HE IS Erik. There is so much Les Mis stuff out there, I wish there was at least a good quality video of John with Katie in poto at Majesty's. John & Katie are the best pairing ever, they actually matched the characters in Leroux's novel. Endless rage.
True, but at this point she doesn't know any of the details of how or why her mother died. While her life hasn't exactly been the "Castle on a Cloud" she dreamed of, Valjean did rescue her from the Thenardiers.
@@ronaldjensen2948 idk id still be pretty pissed growing up without a mum 😂 also I think she’s meant to sound wilful in herself and like she’s powering on?
@@ronaldjensen2948 Of course she loves Valjean and is grateful to him, but it's understandable that she's also frustrated when he wont answer any of her questions about her mother, and doesn't let her meet other people her age.
Katie Hall is the best Cosette EVER
I liked Judy Kuhn better
Samatha sends Nick's career to the sea with her first very notes
This is my favorite Les Miserables concert. Nick is the only down side sadly

I think I've found my favourite Cosette
Bro if Eponine really looked like Samantha, there’d be no way in *fucking hell* Marius would say “nah, I’m good”
Eh seemed he had a type
Cosette and Marius sing: *Turns up volume.*
Eponine sings: .....Daaamn girl. *Turns down volume.*
such a shame Katie had to tone down her voice so as not to drown out Nick during the duet right after this
Sorry, but Samantha Barks has a fantastic voice, and the best Eponie ever ! You must have cloth ears !!!

@@뽀뽀님-y7s hi , sorry about that, but i read it wrong!! Wish she would do a comeback as Eponie, Kenny

So she sang the song too well for you???
You wanted her to sing it more shit????
Bwahaha

i hear you but disagree, i find her performance gives cosette way more character and agency in her story by sounding more assertive and confident.
why do marius and cosette look frustrated and not inlove
because this is not the 10th anniversary concert

Because this marius is a disaster
Choosing Nick Jonas as Marius was a Big Bad Idea. 👎
Josh Gates is the real version of Nick Jones 👍
nick is very talented just not in this role. hes a pop singer not a broadway singer. not a very good choice for marius
he was on Broadway as gavroche which is why he’s in the anniversary. They did not invite him for no reason.
@@dylancoolman7902 your right they didnt invite him for no reason. they invited him because hes a celebrity who would attract publicity

Katie hall plays the role of the horror version of
Cosette
Katie Hall sings in my life
Just like the horror song
The castle on a cloud and in my life
it did gives me the creeps
Choosing Nick Jonas as Marius was a Big Bad Idea. 👎👎👎
老天!女生一开口就把小男主秒杀了!
아니 너무 호러같은뎅..ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
from the movie of the horror version of Les Miserables
as a sequel of Cosette
This Cosette seems ... Angry
I mean her mum died

Ronald Jensen But unlike froggy Amanda thing from the movie she can actually sing...
