Amit Singh Someone drew my avatar on a game website. :)

That's hot

Platonic Purple Panda She couldn't really hit the high note though

capscoach Which high note?

nick Jonas must have surely felt like going home after he stated singing lol

Yup and I love it, he gives me chills from his voice

I dont tbh, he knows what he is getting into. If he doesnt his voice covered then he should deal with it. These are singers that have been singing mostly longer than he has been alive.

No lie there

Nick is not a musical performer. That is the reason

@@RyanFlanagan23 it’s not that he isn’t a musical performer, it’s just that he’s really not on the same level of a lot of the incredible vocalists he’s performing with. He’s really not bad at all, he just doesn’t sound as good in comparison.

wasnt he cast for eye candy?

It was Francis Ruffielle who was the original Eponine

lol 😂😂

That's Alfie for you

I was reacting just like Lea lol

hot as

Arlene De Castro you know I had to find a place to say what is it that makes anyone think that criticizing , some of the cast is a good thing to do. please. I actually have seen the tenth and 25th anniversary and whilst I would love it to be the whole production on CD or CD Rom. I think if everyone tried to look at the actual physical. emotional, vocal,thinking and spiritual input as a whole I do think. that this incredible production would touch our hearts in the most awesome way. I love Michael Ball...I actually adore him ( and then some!) it took a while for me to adjust to the new cast. there is no doubt it is as far as I and so many millions are concerned the most spectacular musical ever put on anywhere is this. I am a believer of Jesus Christ..I think that this is not an in your face thing. However it shows a man's journey and those he meets. my favourite character is Eponine. the latest. but I listen and watch daily because of how it reminds me of where I have come from.

She really is; a Broadway princess...

GOAT

I know right?? I was like "Whoa!!" with mouth open. Haha! Best ever!

And remember what the vocal director was saying in this "Now, it's only a sitzprobe..." And then there's Alfie...

Me too!

Superstars!

Lea was a wonderful Eponine in the 10th anniversary!

I had seen Lea in Chess many years ago. I've been a Les Mis fan since it came out (theatre geek and I graduated HS in '85, so it shaped all the audition pieces for my college days) Finding Alfie was a pleasure, and Ramin, too!

its called MASTURBATION.

Weird comment. Creepy actually.

wow yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Martin Nievera

Ramin and Michael Ball at the end of the DVD performance were much better matched, that was amazing

It might've been for ticket sales or higher ratings

Thatperformer387 I totally agree with you!!!

Get out, Ramin is great but not the “greatest Phantom to ever live”, you probably haven’t even heard half of them. 🙄

@@melissam597 I actually agree, why do I seem to be the only one who can't stand his loudass breaths?

Oh definitely! My knees would've been shaking!😬

From everything I've seen and heard about Lea Salonga, she's gracious and supportive. Did you see her give that huge whooping YES when Alfie hit that note and just stood there so casually?

Lea's supportive of Sam. She even retwitted a post about the Les Mis movie when she found out that Sam would portray her character in the big screen.

Whos he? What his role?

Hello Pussy He plays Enjolras, basically in Les Mis 25th anniversary.

me o/

+Amor Marayag yup (me)

MEEEEEEE♡

He was in multiple Broadway shows as a kid. I just think when the Jonas brothers started he lost his musical theater technique

I don't feel bad at all. He was not the right choice. There are probably people in the choir that sing better, also for me Marius is Michael Ball.

I was just watching this without knowing Nick Jonas was in it. Enjoying it all through and then this kid starts singing "I did not live until today" and I'm like what the heck? Who is the terrible singer with the nasal tone...then I recognized him. Ugg. Poor guy. Waaaaay outclassed.

I feel bad for the rest of the performers to have to bear that sour apple that is Nick Jonas amongst them.

Angello Furigay or replaced. He's out of his depth.

Abi Alston I like the movie version of les mis Also said no one is ever

Abi Alston why say that? who is your favourite Marius

Nick did a fine job for, say, a high school or college production - in my opinion. His voice just didn't match ANYONE else in this concert. All of those trained singers. The comic roles, of course, don't need fine-tuned voices, but the main roles do if you have that caliber of lead singers. He's got a nice voice, but not a great voice, and it showed.

57Strudel The 25th concert was my first time being exposed to les miserables so the cast is my favorite cast and in my opinion Nick did a great job for the amount of work he had gotten at the time doing stuff like this

The Mad Fangirl I like the movie version of les mis. What's so bad about it?

Zero2026X they wouldn’t have picked him if they thought he couldn’t do it

Well Nick performance is not really that bad, but sounds "average" compared to high caliber performer on the set.

Agreed. Not bad, just (way) out of his league on that stage.

it's just embarrasing for the guy. I mean, his voice is good for pop songs or whatever, and he'd be decent enough for a school production, but not to starr alongside Alfie Boe, Lea Salonga, Samantha Barks, Ramin Karimloo etc in the freaking Les Mis 25th anniversary concert

Never has there been two more diverse performances for empty chairs than the pinnacle of Michael Ball at the 10th Anniversary concert and the debacle of Nick Jonas

McKenna Smiles aaand who played eponine at the 10th anniv of les mis :D cool, right?

Yes she's princess Jasmin and Mulan she play Kim in miss Saigon as well proud Filipino here 😊

shes played everyone lmao

@@nolamichelle9239 lmao I wish

Eto na naman ang mga 'proud filipino here' kahit san talaga eh, pakalat kalat kayo na parang mga tae, di nalang mga manahimik

Novita Rosanti yup, Ramin was the phantom in the 25th anniversary of that show as well

Hell yeah

And little Cossete

Omg I cringed when he started singing on one day more 😭 especially when he and Ramin started singing back and forth 😞😞

even i can outsing nick jonas smh

was gavroche a little kid?

Yup

I love him but when the night is over, he's gone

+Michelle Artrup He was outmatched in every category - acting, singing, stage presence. He is an amateur surrounded by professionals at the top of their game and, unfortunately for him, it is terribly, painfully obvious. He should have realized that they had offered him the role only for the publicity and not any talent on his part, and had the dignity and integrity to turn it down for someone who actually deserved to stand on that stage.

Elizabeth L Hadley Fraser

GamerTalks that’s what I was thinking. His softer voice brought an innocence and naive ness to the role. I kind of liked tbh.

Couldn’t disagree more. He was completely out of place in this cast.

+FreeFallin119 I don't believe Ramin Karimloo had any formal training either. If I'm not wrong, he started out as a rock singer. If Nick Jonas had any self-awareness, he would have realized his limitations and stepped aside for someone who would have actually done justice to the music and his fellow cast mates. Staying on when he is THIS bad is just selfish. He wanted to be on that stage and to be a musical theatre actor without wanting to pay his dues, train and become competent. He put himself before the show and so subjected the audience to his thin wailing and shifty side-gaze. It really broke the fourth wall every time he opened his mouth. Sigh.

Elizabeth L I agree with you, Ramin's voice is gorgeous, even though he was never trained but he did have a vocal coach for sound, what music he should sing and how to sing it. They already knew he could sing theatre, but they had to find out what musicals would best suit his voice. :)

It's certainly a good thing to grow in understanding of your vocal personality and where you feel comfortable as a performer, but the place to explore that is not at the 25th anniversary of one of the most beloved musicals ever performed. He gave a performance worthy of a high school Marius at the biggest Les Mis stage in the world, and single-handedly marred the entire event for a great many fans. Basically, if you can't bring it, go home ...and come back when you've trained enough to not embarrass yourself.

And he went on to be a superb JVJ!

Ramin Karimloo...Phantom of the Opera.

I should’ve known! I love him in the Phantom!

Been surpassed!

Yup :)

+Talan Josef The Thenardiers are pretty damn good too. Actually, the whole cast is. Nick Jonas is the only true weak link here. It would be laughable if it wasn't so enormously insulting, both to the audience and the material. He ruins the entire performance and if I could excise him entirely from the recording, I might actually be able to watch the concert without wincing like I have a nervous tick.

+Elizabeth L but he's enough The the level of the weakest is the level of the entire musical to viewers... Especially if empty chairs at empty tables is one if your favourite songs...

Actually all of then were good except nick jonas(am i right?).. his singing voice is not for musical theater tbh

How about Norm Lewis (Javert)? He was excellent, too. And Katie Hall (Eponine) was very good.

Elizley P he would probably have stood out in the movie. He just sounds bad here because everyone else is crazy good and this is their job to project their voices. Nick is really good he just gets drowned out

Casting Jackman and Crowe made the movie unwatchable, especially Crowe who could barely sing.
