They probably had to speed up the tempo because at district competition, the performance has to be finished by a certain amount of time. And if you are over that time, you get stopped and points are taken off
Don't fault the accompanist for not "understanding the speed of the song." They've probably rehearsed it 100 times like that, and it was probably the soloist who told the accompanist to play at that tempo. If he didn't like the tempo, he should've brought it up in rehearsal.
Piano player is stunning. This was before any Hamilton sheet music existed, no album only a few video clips from previews. He rewrote and transcribed music himself, in a new key. He knew Daniel was going to run out of time, therefore played a bit faster than normal. And Daniel, well I’m biased, but he was hysterical and amazing! These two guys are now doing amazing things in the theatre world! WE ARE & GO BLUE!
No one cares about how fast the piano guy was. This wasn't his video. There are 200 other people saying the exact same thing. Say something different, geez. I thought your movements were cool. At first, I was thrown off because the whole point of Groff standing still is that it resembles how King George stands still during the war, but I grew to love your dancing the longer the video went on. Really made me chuckle. Hope you won!
Melody Powers yes because he doesn't know the backgrounds of those students. Just because they're in college doesn't mean they handle speak of death and violence well.
Jozie Cox I would understand if there really was horrible, graphic talk and/or depictions of death and violence, but there really is nothing in here that would earn more than a PG rating... On the other hand, language, or sexual innuendo (is that how you spell it?), that's content that makes sense to warn people about.
Melody Powers It was for a high school theatre competition where we have to say the what the piece contains as a precaution for those attending the performance
@@vacui1 I just thinks its annoying how the other people were laughing 😡 this is history and an amazing musical. People just don't respect history these days 😤
MY SISTER MADE HER WAY ACROSS THE ROOM TO YOU, I GOT NERVOUS THINKIN WHATS SHE GONNA DOOOO SHE GRABS YOU BY THE ARM IM THINKIN IM THROOOUGH THEN YOU LOOK BACK AT ME AND SUDDENLY IM *HELPLEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS*
This was great! I think you did the part of King George justice. I just had my regional thespian competition today. I think next year I will sing this selection. Would you mind sharing where you got the sheet music for it? :)
you definitely have the voice and the stage presence, but please slow it down a bit. I'm assuming nerves were a part of the quickness. The beauty of this song is the pacing and the line delivery. You've got a bright future ahead of you :)
Everyone out here hating on the pianist when he was literally doing his part correctly they had a time limit, tempo HAS to be quicker if theres a time limit and the song wont fit that limit
Nice voice. Tempo is a bit too fast. A bit too much body movement, remember George was king and would have had a regal attitude which makes the lyrics all the funnier. I realize you wouldn't want to copy the Broadway performance, yet George under the robes and heavy crown moving only his shoulders up and down, while looking disdainfully at the audience, adds a layer of absurdity to the whole thing.
This is a district competition, so you only have a limited amount of time to perform, usually only about 2 to 3 minutes. If your performance goes over that time limit, it gets stopped and they take points off your score. They probably told the pianist to play the piece quicker because of the time limit. If the performer had had a problem with the speed of the piece, he would have told the pianist to play it slower during the rehearsals. It's a good performance either way. I loved it! 😀🎵
I absolutely love this Soooo much. I love his movements they match groff alot 😍 I jus tcant explain it. I'm a huge hamilton fan mostly king george as you can see for my pfp. This was incredible
An excellent performance, for sure. There was just one thing missing; read the lyrics or watch Groff's performance and you can't help but think King George was a psychopath.
That piano player player really likes that sustain petal.
omfg I'm crying 😂
I’m crying lol
That actually made me laugh very loudly
Let him like it
and hats...

Not really, it's a 5 minute time limit for songs in district competitions
its a fucking 1 minute song if the limit is 5 mins it can still be at reg speed IT COULD EVEN BE SLOWER FFS
Kinchu The Wolf it’s 4 minuets actyally.
you'll actually get disqualified if you go over the time limit
HE SOUNDS SO SIMILAR TO GROFF DEAR JESUS
RIGHT???
👁👄👁
💧
Could we check the CarFax on that one?
Plot twist: he is Groffsauce, just cosplaying as a normal citizen
WHY DO YOU SOUND EXACTLY LIKE THE SOUNDTRACK VERSION WTFFFF
IK
+Lukes Life MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!
At first I thought he was lip synching.
i know he sounded like the fucking album
WHEN HE OPENED HIS MOUTH I FREAKED OUT HE SOUNDS SO SIMILAR TO GROFF
pianist- "what if I just play all the notes at the same time?"
Holy shit, that pianist was rushing you. But your voice is amazing (:
*casually sets the piano player on fire*
Optimistic Realist Dont blame the pianist. They must have had a time limit.
They had a time limit.
You were amazing (even with a piano player who doesn't understand the speed of the song)!
I know he was going WAY TO fast
you could say that the pianist plays like he's running out of time
+Isabel Garcia this is the best comment ive ever seen...I love Hamilton puns!!!!

He better get a freakin A!
Is he a student
@@diegocalderon4552 Seems like an assignment to perform with the way he introduced himself
@@Justwatching11098 you replied even though you haven’t been here for 4 years wow
@@diegocalderon4552 lol I got a notification. I completely forgot I commented 😂
@@Justwatching11098 it’s a district thespian competition, an A would be a Superior ranking
Imagine if Groff was able to move in his costume like that!
Emily Harding lol the crown would fly off 😂

I think Geoff said he stood still because he didn’t want his crown to fall off... idk I can’t remember
IS THAT YOU GROFF
Complaint: he didn't say EVERYBODY for the last dadadadada
This was......YES!!! I love Hamiltion covers, do you mind if i use some of this in my Hamilton Album review
Go ahead!
This was amazing he has great talent and those faces are priceless! :) Jonathan Groff and Miranda would be proud! 😄
Amazing performance,
I love how comical yet professional it was.
Did he really warn what looks like college kids about "frank talk about death and violence"?
Melody Powers yes because he doesn't know the backgrounds of those students. Just because they're in college doesn't mean they handle speak of death and violence well.

Melody Powers when you go to Festivals and preform a piece, you are required to mention possible triggers from your piece. Even subtle ones.
Me: Now your making me madddhhhhhhgg *screech*
50% of the comments are talking about the pianist and the other 50% are talking about him sounding exactly like Groff.
Am I coming too late to say that you'd should be on broadway right now and that this is absolutely flawless?
Give this boy an Oscar
*tony
His little dances and acting to the song is amazing
HOW DOES THIS SOUND ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE THE REAL THING THIS IS AMAZING
I wish I were as good as him. Jeez, he hits the notes, has the confidence, the charisma, why can I not bee this good?
This boy is mine. He's mine.
"THAT BOY IS MINE, THAT BOY IS MIIIIIIINE"
Jd Vids I GOT HIM FIRST HES MY CLASS MATE

#FLAWLESS!!! At the voice is...
Next time, if a pianist rushes you, don't follow them. It's their job to follow you. Set the tempo and stand firm. They will follow you. :) great job!
love the way he said "ill go mad"
Those mesmerizing hand movements
The guy has talent.
Damn! holy crap this is amazing.
Oh my gosh...this was great....it sounds a lot like the original 😭😂
This hilarious my favourite song from Hamilton just got 10 times better
This was great! I think you did the part of King George justice. I just had my regional thespian competition today. I think next year I will sing this selection. Would you mind sharing where you got the sheet music for it? :)
bad pianist. not your fault
I wish I could him sing slower. With more emotion and less out of breath.
Although I do understand there were probably some sort of time restrictions
ooh true
It had to go quickly because they had a time limit... the pianist was pretty good though.
groffsauce is that you
STUNNING PERFORMANCE! his appearance was enough to sell it.
This guy is seriously amazing, I excited what he's doing right now....
Too fast.
it was probably the pianist as well, not just Daniel T. (though not saying either were BAD, it was just rushed)
Time limit for competition.
omg I'm the girl he winked at
The pianist was great despite the faster pace, and the singing was just- oh my god, it was amazing my dude! Love ya
you definitely have the voice and the stage presence, but please slow it down a bit. I'm assuming nerves were a part of the quickness. The beauty of this song is the pacing and the line delivery. You've got a bright future ahead of you :)
+Curtis Rogers It also might be due to performance time.
***** that's a fair point. Didn't consider that when making my comment.
+Curtis Rogers I think it was the pianist honestly
its the pianist definitely
The speed was because of the piano player
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! I just smiled troughout the entire video, it's so great ^__^
Someone get this man a role in the Hamilton musical
LOVE IT❣️. He did a Great Job😘😊💗
Amazing voice! 🎊🎊💐💐
Wait I thought he was Mr. Amazing Groff for a second-he’s amazing this man in the video!!!
Love his voice so great!!
Hoping to see more content from you in the future, you're absolutely amazing!!
Everyone out here hating on the pianist when he was literally doing his part correctly

That was mind blowing! Great job!!
Thank you so much for uploading this❤❤❤
Incredible vocal!
This.. this brings tears to my eyes.
That guy could be a grown ass man right now, or maybe in college. I dunno.
But.. its *beautiful* 💫
that was awesome
Literally sounds like Groff and it melts my heart!
This is amazing love this song
The piano player has no sense of timing, does he?
This is a district competition, so you only have a limited amount of time to perform, usually only about 2 to 3 minutes.

I think they also cut off a part of the da da das near the end
They had a time limit.
The shoulder shimmy killed me
Superiors all the way man!!!!! Hope u went to state!!!
I absolutely love this Soooo much. I love his movements they match groff alot 😍 I jus tcant explain it. I'm a huge hamilton fan mostly king george as you can see for my pfp. This was incredible

wonderful voice, wonderful shimmy :)
An excellent performance, for sure. There was just one thing missing; read the lyrics or watch Groff's performance and you can't help but think King George was a psychopath.
I'm a huge fan
