To all those who have said such nice things about my performance - thank you very much. To those of you who had issues with it, I'll try to do better for you. :) So come on out and see Les Mis one more time. Also, this was my first time singing this on TV with a camera about 3 feet from my face, so I was a bit nervous. Maybe I can do it better now. ;)

I loved it. I saw you yesterday in Chicago and the show was outstanding. You are indeed a wonderful Javert. Great voice!

I had the privilege of seeing you two weeks ago in Chicago, and I honestly was blown away by how amazing your performance was.

I love the way he holds those long notes toward the end! It sounded even better in the show with a full orchestra! I hope he reprises his role when the tour comes back around!

I saw him in San Diego last May and this man brought me tears when he sang this on the stage. When I met him after at the stage door, I nearly started crying while telling him how much I already loved Javert but how he made me love Javert even more and that he did this role I love so much justice. He thanked me profoundly, shook my hand, and introduced himself like a perfect gentleman and I was SOLD on him as an actor and man immediately.

Rebecca Radillo I met him as well and he’s so humble and kind ! You’re right he was so incredible and made me feel sympathy and love for Javert to an extent I never felt before .

I recently saw Josh Davis as Javert in San Francisco and was very impressed by his performance. It was the Javert of my imagination brought to life.

This performance does not do him justice. Saw him in Cleveland and he was AMAZING - he was so much more dynamic then this. Trust me, go and see him!

This comment was made a year ago. All i am saying maybe he sounds different is because this is only sung with a piano instead of orchestra. The room in this video has enough sound...maybe

I'm not sure how long he will be on tour, but I hope that he's that for your stop! This Les Miserables tour appears to be a limited run tour with a set amount of stops, and with tours like this, they usually have the same cast throughout.

One of my biggest issues with a lot of Broadway singers is that they use such heavy vibrato you can’t even tell what note they’re singing sometimes

@tianajoiner7852 5 жыл бұрын

Ben F I know, it’s aggravating. Another reason why I love Philip Quast’s Javert so much - he just sings it straightforward and can actually hold a full, steady note.

@nikobutterbar928 5 жыл бұрын

I gotta say, I saw him live and I didn't like his rendition of Stars. I just think there was too much vibrato, and the technique took over for the actual acting that I feel is supposed to take place. Watching this video I feel the same. He's a great performer technically, and his other numbers were grand. But I played Javert and researched his character and, while the character is open to interpretation, I just feel like Josh didn't get the emotion across that Stars needs to be a truly great number.

@anon201 6 жыл бұрын

He was so good I just wish he wasn’t so sharp in his lower register. The entire first act he didn’t sing a single low note correctly.

@MrSean24601 6 жыл бұрын

Anon you might have seen him on an off night, because when I saw him he hit it all out of the park. Especially his low F in “Confrontation.”

@Mia_Buchignani 5 жыл бұрын

I really don’t know if he hit one note correctly in the first act last night in SF.

@joshuadavis6574 5 жыл бұрын

@@Mia_Buchignani I'm pretty sure I hit at least one note correctly. :) But I agree, doing the show 8 times a week for almost two years now, sometimes it's easy to drift away from the score. I recently revisited the score again and spent some time with all those notes Id missed ;) - Thanks for coming to see the show!

I saw him tonight in Les mis. It was the worst portrayal of Javier I've ever seen. Hell I'd rather watch the movie version. He ruined my night. Please add some emotion. Too robotic.

Weird, I thought he was the BEST Javert I’d seen live. He was perfect. Stoic, imposing, silently intimidating. This guy nailed the novel Javert to a T. Sorry you didn’t enjoy it.

@justis2061 6 жыл бұрын

Mark Bockenstedt I'm so sorry that my small mistake confused you so much. It must have taken hours for your brain to figure out that I meant Javert. Either way it was a horrible performance in my opinion.

@katrenakeys2290 6 жыл бұрын

I thought he was the best Javert that I have seen. In fact I am impressed with the whole cast. Musically, he nails the part and thought his portrayal fit the character perfectly.

I was thinking the exact same. The entire first act: “what key is this dude singing in?”
