Goodness. This has got to be the most beautiful version of "If I Can't Love Her" I've ever heard. Barbour's rich baritone voice fits this song flawlessly.
He was my favorite Broadway musical theater star for so many years. The summer this show opened I was fortunate enough to see him in it, and talk to him at the stage door afterward. He never disappoints.
It's def Barbour. They for sure have similar voices, I couldn't tell who it was until the chorus began! They both have a rich and deep quality in their voices, but Mann has a ever so slight pop like quality in his voice, it's a slightly thinner timbre with less vibrato and a fluttery one at that, which makes sense considering the slight pop quality, and he tends to fall off his phrases, which normally I would throw things if I heard that from anyone else, but for whatever reason I don't mind it from Mann! Every singer has a quirk in their voice that makes them recognizable, and that happens to be Mann's funny little quirk! Barbour has more of natural vibrato that's less fluttery (there is a term for this, I'm just an idiot and forget what it is) and has a bit larger and rounder timbre with the more 'woof' behind it, you know, like the bottom speaker of a set of speakers, lovingly called the 'woofer'? It's that woofy bass that gives the rest of what's easier to hear from the other speakers the 'oomf' behind it. Plus Barbour has more ease in his higher higher range than Mann. But I do love them both :):)
Ok. Terrance Mann is amazing. Just a list of some of the characters he's played on stage. Javert (Les Miserables), Dr. Frank N. Furter (Rocky Horror Picture Show) and Beast (Beauty & The Beast). That's versatility.
This is James Barbour. He's great. This is absolutely not Terry... For some reasons I have the recording of this piece, and James' timbre of voice is slightly thinner than Terry's. James is a baritone and terry a bass baritone.
Lol Barbour is not a tenor. Maybe a baritenor but there's no way. I just watched a video of him singing "I gave you my music" from phantom and he had to belt the high notes.
@@bradleymonroe6443 not even remotely can be considered a heldentenor. Barbour is fantastic but he's not a tenor and Wagner/Strauss are above his singing ability.
James Barbour in Los Angeles, Mann had just left the role. Barbour was the only "replacement" that I saw that I could plausibly see as the OBC version, and people who hadn't seen Mann didn't see what he could have done better. I saw both at the Shubert in Los Angeles, I worked there, I will stick with Mann, but just because.
It's not Terry Mann. 100% James Barbour. Barber has a richer, darker, more even tone throughout his vocal register. That said, I've seen both numerous times on stage, Barbour's vocal technique is much more refined but Mann is a far superior actor.
This is James Barbour, who has a very similar voice. This performance was in 1995 in LA, where most of the cast reprised their roles. Mann even returned, but after he left, was replaced by Barbour.

Actually, James Stacy Barbour has been a bass-baritone.
He was my favorite Broadway musical theater star for so many years. The summer this show opened I was fortunate enough to see him in it, and talk to him at the stage door afterward. He never disappoints.
if can love her Trrence Mann
Powerful voice to sing for a broadway show!

And Charlemagne in Pippin
And Mal Beinecke in The Addams Family
Actually, this video is about James Stacy Barbour, not Terrence Mann.
You forgot cats 😂

Théo Hénusse Terrance Mann is a Baritone and James Barbour is actually a Tenor!

@@Mrnickstr89 Actually he might be a Heldentenor.
@@nickbradley5581 No, both are baritones

This is James Barbour for sure. His voice is very distinct.
I really want to see this play again. Such good music.

That's James Barbour.
That's James Barbour. His voice is very different from Terrence Mann's.
Amazing
love it
Definitely not Mann. Gotta be James Barbour!
That's for sure he isn't Terry... oy.
I think James is better than Terrence. Better acting. He also held the note. Terrence doesn’t
Barbour has a much more refined vocal technique while Mann is by far the better actor.
@@astoriacub I've actually noticed Mann is less mobile than James Barbour. Probably because of the heavy prosthetics and makeup
Wow, sounds very similar to Terry. Even moves like him. Did James Barbour study Terrence Mann exclusively for this role I wonder?
Not Mann. But Barbour did great!
Not Mann. But Barbour did great!
@@livingwithautism3789 Will you stifle thyself?
This is James Barbour! Not Terrence Mann
This is not Terrence Mann :(
sounds like him the guy recorded this in a live performance and the theater is pretty big and it echos it could be him
REX12359 No, It's James Barbour. They may have similar voices, but this is definitely James Barbour.
mad bad
@@rex12359 no, it'James Barbour. And they don't sound alike at all. The only commonality they share is that they are baritones.
@@astoriacub Close. Terrence Mann and James Barbour have a bass-baritone voice.
not terrence mann its james barbour.
Not Terrance Mann...
Not Terrence Mann, but personally I like this guy much better
No its Terrance Mann. I have this soundtrack. I'd know his voice from anywhere.

This is not Terrence Mann !
This is Terrence Mann. I know the voice plus seen him play the Beast at the Kodak theater
This is James Barbour, who has a very similar voice. This performance was in 1995 in LA, where most of the cast reprised their roles. Mann even returned, but after he left, was replaced by Barbour.
