I can't say this is bad, I'm sorry, I just can't. It's so puzzling! For all the weirdly stressed and phrased lines, the weirdly paced moments, the goaty vibrato at times, he hits some moments perfectly! That key change where he opts for the higher version of "damn all the odds"? No one else has even hit that half as good in my opinion, it's clear as a bell. And he's just so invested! He absolutely cares about all of it, he apparently has wanted to be on Broadway since he was a kid, and he is enjoying himself so much that I can't not enjoy it along with him. You go, Hoff, well done!
His higher version of damn all the odds is the only part where he sounds like a real singer to me. He needs to tighten up his vibrato, it’s very loose and makes his voice sound like he doesn’t know what he’s doing. I’m torn because he acts the role VERY well, just doesn’t sing it as well as he could. Maybe this disparity was intentional due to the nature of the character? But it just looks like bad casting.
Tbf he does hit that damn all the odds really well . His vib is just so off putting for me it just pulls me out of it . His acting is pretty decent shame his singing just isn’t as good . However I’m later songs like alive he goes abit to far where his acting is almost comical
Out of all the versions, he's the only one I can find that goes for THAT note on the line "Damn all the odds!" So he gets a pass for the occasional wonky held-note.
Have you seen Constantine Maroulis' ? Not saying he's necessarily better I'm just asking because he does it (However I have to admit Constantine completely butchers alive) 😂
I absolutely agree with the Heart David put into this song and he did achieve a couple soaring “Moments” but his vocal range and particularly Stamina just can’t match his heart.
He is very good. He was my first viewing of the show, and he was my first Jekyll & Hyde. So I cannot hate him. I love him in this role, as much as I would love to see Anthony Warlow in this DVD, I give David Hasselhoff, Props and Credit for doing this show. Its a very hard role to do just by yourself. He made his Broadway Debut with this. Sure he's not the best, but he's my first
Please don't hate me for saying this; I think David Hasselhoff did a very good job for his first time on Broadway. He isn't the very best Jekyll & Hyde, but hey the man tried and he did pass out after the Confrontation. For all of you saying he was horrible; I'd like to see you go out there and perform like he has. I love his Jekyll & Hyde, and he was my very first viewing of the show. I wish there was an audio of this version. This cast was very good. In My opinion that is
He was definitely NOT horrible - that’s unfair and unduly harsh! It’s clear he took sn enormous risk and put everything he had into this role which deserves credit and RESPECT. David’s vocal range and stamina struggled to match the Heart he put into this performance but I think he did the role credit.
Imagine me being a nurse but performing heart surgery. The patient, of course, will die. But then I'll just say "Hey now, I went from cleaning puke and fluffing pillows to performing heart surgery. Sure I might not be the best, but I stitched him back up. That's still pretty good, right?" 😂
I'm impressed. He's working so hard and the technique is there. Sure, years and years more of practice will only make a person better, but I see the dedication. He's really working on it and going for it. I wish I could have seen this in person.
I just can't decide what to make of this. There are many obvious vocal issues, plus some awkward movements and gestures, yet some parts sound great (especially the G#), he's absolutely pouring his heart and soul into the performance, and I find it really rewatchable.
I like David Haselhoff. I have to hand it to him here, he put in a very good effort. This song was, however a bit much for him. This is a tough one - try it yourself! He was reaching a bit beyond what he was really capable of at that time. But that is how we improve! I do the same thing. Pick a song I cannot quite get, work at it, after a couple mos I get it and I have extended my range, voice beyond what it was previously.
@DavidHasselhoff Deep virtual bow 🙏, Mr. Hasselhoff: One cannot sing that iconic song more beautifully or better. Nor can it be better acted. This highly attractive vibrato, the radiance of the voice even in the last, dreaded top note, the warm timbre and in addition the passionate interpretation and physicality on stage - pure goosebumps. This is what is called perfection. It cannot be performed any better than this. Please receive my boundless adoration. 👏
@@MurrayFG I've seen the musical several times on stage and listened to it on CDs, and I just love David Hasselhoff's interpretation and voice. This scene deeply touches me. Well, art is a matter of taste. And as we all know, there is no arguing about taste. Beauty lies in the eye (or here: ear) of the beholder or listener. Live and let live.
@@MurrayFG Robert is no better and the performance is not as good as David's performance. David's acting is very good and deep and his singing is spot on and brilliant. I'm a musician and a singer, not many people can do it better. I would say that David brings the best package in terms of acting and singing.
@@tobiasmuhring6798 You speak so much from my heart, Tobias. I subscribe to every word. Whenever I watch this video (and I do so regularly, whenever I need some cheering up), I am deeply moved and carried away by David Hasselhoff's performance.
He tried SO hard and deserves such credit for that and there were a few “Moments” like the “damn all the odds” but the PACING was atrocious and incredibly Distracting! At so many points it seemed like he was RACING just to get through the song! Compare this to Anthony Warlow’s GUT wrenching rendition and you’ll see what David’s could and should have been.
Really, I like David Hasselhoff. Acting in a theater requires some overacting. Not intented do be filmed in close up. But... His singing just isn´t good. he´s rhythmically off a lot. Sometimes flat. 0:48 momääääääääääänt sounds like a goat. His acting might not be too bad but his voice is just not good enough to carry a fairly difficult song like this. That´s why people criticize him ... Now you know ;-)
Theatre acting (in a large space anyway) requires the acting to be heightened and big, yes. It does not require overacting. The definition of overacting is that it is going beyond what is called for to the detriment of the work.
I love it. He invests all his body and soul, he hits the high notes, i feel the words, ok fast vibrato, who bloody cares, the voice is beautifully produced honest sound.
I like it. He’s not amazing. But he has his moments in the song where he does it justice. And he’s putting his all into it. He’s pitchy a bit but overall it’s great entertainment
Your right. I loved his performance. He does not have the same singing experience as Anthony Warlow, so I'm not going to expect him to and compare Hoff to him. I really like your perspective on his performance because it's not just discouraging. He's a person who has feelings just like everyone else.👍👍👍😊😊😊
I like when he said "I won't look down. I will not fall" with total confidence especially since the words are usually "I won't look down. I must not fall", and I think it sounds better the way he sang it. I've heard many versions of this song, and they're all good including versions from Stig Rossen, Erik Santos, Steve Amerson, Donny Osmond and others. David Hasselhoff sang it brilliantly!
@@claudstaylor9406 His singing is kind of meh, but he does act the role very well (best shown in Confrontation). Makes sense considering he’s primarily an actor.
I love watching the Hoff sing. Is he even a speck on Jon Owen Jones or Anthony Warlow? Not even close. Still, I'm pretty sure that he knows that, and he just doesn't care. There's something admirable about a man that loves to do something so much that he does it even when everyone says that he sucks at it. Hoff loves to perform and entertain, and he does it in spite of the jeers. That alone is to be commended.
Agree. I prefer warlow. But the sound and video quality i prefer this one. The olonga would be the best if there is no noise of the crowds (well can't help since it is a tv show). Love all of them 💕
All of you kidders and haters for the Hoff. Take a step back, ( for the MOMENT) and look at yourself, instead of criticising the Hoff. The Best quality in David Hasselhoff, is, he is not bothered, or bitter, by all of your negative comments. Are all of us that secure with ourselves????
@@jacquelinemarkert5564 I stand by my comment. His singing wasn't great. And as evidenced by your comment, you have no ability to determine barely adequate singing from great singing.
This song is a little off- pitch , true. But no actors had done a better job in acting Hyde than David Hasselhoff which makes him one of the best Jekyll & Hyde
Agreed that pitch was off a LOT. His vibrato is forced and horrible. His mispronunciation is wrong on so many words, it's like he forgot the words and tried to fix it in the middle of a word. One of the WORST Jekylls ever.
I used to be OBSESSED with this movie when I was a kid. I always thought David's performance was amazing.... and then I grew up.... and I learned how it should be sung by men far more talented than he... and then I found I could sing it better than DH... and then the Rose Colored glasses became less so. Can't discount the passion he put in though. He really felt this part. That's probably why I liked it so much
In my opinion: Best NON Broadway singer - Jekyll/Hyde performances: 1) Sebastian Bach (Skid Row) 2) Jack Wagner(General Hospital) 3) David Hasselhoff (Baywatch)
Lots of people complain but very few could do what you see here,let alone sing it .no he's not world class,like Anthony warlow but he does add a different side to this ever popular show
I have heard so much hate for his performance and yeah I somewhat get it because he is certainly not perfect but I love how much heart he is giving and he is obviously still talented. I think it was just a mistake to cast him as a character that has to carry the whole thing instead of someone who can get one or two good songs that really play to his strengths.
Yeah, ok, but David's version is very off pitch in many places and some of the diction is atrocious ('when the momen-dum' etc)... Nice try, but not really a patch on Anthony Warlow's version.
![마이클 리 - This is the Moment [2023 코리안 페스티벌 - THE NEXT] | KBS 231209 방송](/img/n.gif)
Hoff gave a tremendous performance in the show.i was so impressed that I attended the show numerous times.
He gave it 110%, that alone is worth praise
As a Canadian I always appreciate a good backhanded compliment 😂

Ever heard Anthony Warlow’s version? If we could have Hoff’s acting and Warlow’s singing, it’s be the perfect performance.
@@AdamFloro Warlow's version is beautiful. He honestly is underrated and I'm so sad I've never seen him perform any musical live
Amen!

Rob Evan does it too (and he actually performs the song a half-step higher)
I'll have to check that out, thanks!
@@ronnimcallister3970 saw him on Broadway when he was understudy. He was amazing.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMN ALL THE ODDS!!!
I just love this performance. He's 100% into it. So much heart, love it.
I absolutely agree with the Heart David put into this song and he did achieve a couple soaring “Moments” but his vocal range and particularly Stamina just can’t match his heart.
He gave 100% to the one note at 2:12, and like 50% to the rest
I take back every joke I made about you Hoff. This was a brilliant performance! Bravo Sir!❤️👏🏻👏🏻
Give him credit, a handsome , talented guy, it’s not easy dealing with haters!
He is very good. He was my first viewing of the show, and he was my first Jekyll & Hyde. So I cannot hate him.

He is incredibly underrated
Didn't he pass out on "The Way Back
He was definitely NOT horrible - that’s unfair and unduly harsh! It’s clear he took sn enormous risk and put everything he had into this role which deserves credit and RESPECT. David’s vocal range and stamina struggled to match the Heart he put into this performance but I think he did the role credit.
i love his emotion and the heart he put into the song
Gorgeous. My sincere congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This morning I listen again to start a fresh day. I feel the power of his song coming into me. Thank you.^^♡
An incredible performance. Way to go David.
Guys, this is a man who went from Baywatch to Broadway. Okay, he's not the best. But, he's pretty damn good.
He's driving a talking car first.
Before Baywatch he was in Knight Rider.
Imagine me being a nurse but performing heart surgery. The patient, of course, will die. But then I'll just say "Hey now, I went from cleaning puke and fluffing pillows to performing heart surgery. Sure I might not be the best, but I stitched him back up. That's still pretty good, right?" 😂

Inconsistency at top level: "...cant decide what to make of this....". ".....I find it really rewatchable..."
@@MogulMonk1 what point are you trying to make?

Wy San Luis it might be bc his acting is a bit TOO exaggerated, and his vibrato is sorta... warbley and harsh? Im no professional critic tho.
Too much vabrato and a tad over acted
So you’re saying you’ve heard Anthony Warlow and think this is better?
Opinions.... lol...

This was really good!!!
Wow, I didn’t even know the Hoff could sing! No hate, I just wasn’t aware of his professional experience.
A very tough composition with other greats from this Broadway musical.
Yeah, I only ever saw him used as a speedboat in Spongebob the Movie.
I think he was popular for singing in Europe, 30 years ago... he sang at the fall of the Berlin wall...if I'm remembering correctly.
Look up Jump in My Car by him!
He is popular in Germany
I love it. He invests all his body and soul, he hits the high notes, i feel the words, ok fast vibrato, who bloody cares, the voice is beautifully produced honest sound.

Sort of hard to listen to this after seeing Robert Cuccioli perform on Broadway.
Wait until you watch Henry Olonga from the Voice Australia
Wow!!! He’s actually good!!!

Find Robert Cuccioli (sp?). Original Jekyll. Saw him perform years ago. Still my favorite.
Hell yes😊
This version was good, but I still prefer Anthony Warlow's best.
Until Henry Olonga happened!
Agree. I prefer warlow. But the sound and video quality i prefer this one.

Oh my god I very much agree

I never knew he can sing....until i watched this. Just today. 😁😁😁😁

you missed some centuries... some knew from the beinning. He got me back in 1989... and I am still in this moment.

Always a pleasure to see Hasselhoff, but for me David Hasselhoff is Knight rider and Baywatch
This Is the Best.
Ok if they would redo this musical again I would love to see Benedict cumberbatch as this character
Wow, the quality is good.
It’s professionally filmed
Looks like gaston in the beauty and the beast.
Is there someone who can share the full musical with HD?
This song is a little off- pitch , true. But no actors had done a better job in acting Hyde than David Hasselhoff which makes him one of the best Jekyll & Hyde
The song is not off pitch, the key was lowered to E flat Major, when everyone listens to Warlow which is a half step higher
Agreed that pitch was off a LOT. His vibrato is forced and horrible. His mispronunciation is wrong on so many words, it's like he forgot the words and tried to fix it in the middle of a word. One of the WORST Jekylls ever.
😅😢 parabéns

wow...
The Hoff is a legend!
I used to be OBSESSED with this movie when I was a kid. I always thought David's performance was amazing.... and then I grew up.... and I learned how it should be sung by men far more talented than he... and then I found I could sing it better than DH... and then the Rose Colored glasses became less so. Can't discount the passion he put in though. He really felt this part. That's probably why I liked it so much
I'm here for this classic bc of my module
In my opinion:
Best NON Broadway singer - Jekyll/Hyde performances:
1) Sebastian Bach (Skid Row)
2) Jack Wagner(General Hospital)
3) David Hasselhoff (Baywatch)
Lots of people complain but very few could do what you see here,let alone sing it .no he's not world class,like Anthony warlow but he does add a different side to this ever popular show

What he lacks for in some NOT ALL of the singing he makes up big time in his acting!
형님 ㅠㅠ 사랑해요
Es muy difícil defender esta obra en un escenario,lo hace muy bien
Not a big fan of Hoff's take on this, but it's a very respectable take, and far, far better than I expected.
wow
I have heard so much hate for his performance and yeah I somewhat get it because he is certainly not perfect but I love how much heart he is giving and he is obviously still talented. I think it was just a mistake to cast him as a character that has to carry the whole thing instead of someone who can get one or two good songs that really play to his strengths.

Yeah, ok, but David's version is very off pitch in many places and some of the diction is atrocious ('when the momen-dum' etc)... Nice try, but not really a patch on Anthony Warlow's version.
David. H. has better versions of this song in UA-cam. But still not match on Anthony Warlows's version
Technically it’s not good - I still love it for his passion.
