Yes that's true...but have you seen the 25th Anniversary Concert?

What about it? All I know is apparently he wasn't bad.

I'd say he wasn't the same calibre as the other performers which was kinda sad. And his facial expression really annoyed me, but that may just be me. It certainly didn't help that Ramin Karimloo was playing Enjorlas and I'm willing to bet that anyone playing Marius would suffer in comparison.

I wasn't expecting him to be the same calibre, tbh. He is a bit younger than them, and not as experienced. But aside from that, I wasn't expecting anything superb. He has talent, though. I only watched a bit on Youtube and was pleasantly surprised.

It sounded a lot like a debut role. I mean his voice was OK but he kinda massacred "empty chairs" and his acting was terrible. He may have talent but there was always a "but". Which, ok, can all be worked on, and it would be understandable it he was playing with the regular cast (or even with the tour cast) since playing every night you'd improve fast and raw talent would have time to be trained. But for the 25th anniversary concert? Everyone else was amazing and you'd think that for this one unique show that plays for one night at the O2 and is going to be sold on DVD and will inevitably be compared to the 10th anniversary concert, they'd have tried to cast more experienced people, who could really carry it. (or even beginners that were already doing well. It was obvious that whoever was doing Eponine was going to be really good with a bit more training but that couldn't be said about Nick Jonas.) They KNEW that, under the circumstances, he was going to be compared to Michael Ball so you'd think that they'd cast someone who wouldn't be completely screwed in the comparison process.

Sorry, a bit TL;DR there, but once I'm started on Les Mis...

[identity profile] curlychikk.livejournal.com 2011-01-24 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, don't worry about it. Yeah, idk much about the musical tbh. I'm not really sure what made them decided to cast him now, it may have been his other commitments, etc. I can't disagree with you that it was probably a bad choice to make, as much as it pains me, lol.

haha, it's all a matter of taste and opinion in the end, so to each their own and all ^^

Yeah, I've kinda been obsessed with it since I was 12, I could sing the entire thing (badly, seeing as I'm irredeemably tone deaf) before I could actually understand English...

[identity profile] jorockz.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
His facial expressions drove me nuts too! I think it was because he is clearly focused on one spot and never looks away from it. I thought that maybe it was helping him focus or something? It kept distracting me during his songs though.

[identity profile] jorockz.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
nusuth pretty much said everything I would have said. Unfortunatly, compared to everyone on stage he was clearly the weakest. ( A lot of reviewers thought it might be stunt casting to appeal to Jonas' fans.)

[identity profile] curlychikk.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
omg hdu he is perfect and flawless and can do no wrong

Nah. It's a shame though cause he was all ~excited about it.

Actually, I said the same thing to my mother and she replied "really? because you really think there's one person in that audience that doesn't know this musical by heart?". I mean, I'd understand from a marketing pov if they cast him for the tour (and he wouldn't be the first ex-popstar to sing Marius, either). but it just doesn't make sense for the concert.
