    Never knew I could feel like this
    Like I've never seen the sky before
    I want to vanish inside your kiss
    Every day I love you more and more
    Listen to my heart
    Can't you hear it sings
    Telling me to give you everything
    Seasons may change
    Winter to spring
    But I love you
    Until the end of time
    Come what may
    Come what may
    I will love you
    Until my dying day
    Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
    Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
    Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
    It all revolves around you
    And there's no moutain too high
    No river too wide
    Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
    Storm clouds may gather
    And stars may collide
    But I love you
    I love you
    Until the end of time
    Come what may
    Come what may
    I will love you
    Until my dying day
    Come what may
    Come what may
    I will love you
    I will love you
    I will love you
    Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
    Come what may
    (Come what may)
    Come what may
    (Come what may)
    I will love you
    Until my dying day

      I think you can put that down to poor sound engineering. I've seen Mel in Jesus Christ Superstar; she absolutely does have a vocal talent. But I've heard performances where the sound engineering resulted in the background music being foregrounded too much or one performer being foregrounded too much at the expense of another, and this certainly seemed to be the case here.

    There may be imperfections in this performance, but the big heart and down to earth soul of both Mel and Alphie rise fearlessly through in a stunning poor man's version of this classic. This rough hewn rendition will sweap you away in a makeshift trippy power love rocket to heaven, leaving the original behind. It's not high brow but none of us really are. Despite being told love and truth are out of reach this performance tells us that they actually live within each of us no matter how imperfect we are. Trust them, let them guide you as you build your rocket and when you are almost done, be brave enough to get on board and take it for a ride to heaven.

    If you're gonna go full operatic, go full operatic. One pop singer and one opera singer just sounds wrong. The tambre is off. The tone is off. Even when they both sing the correct note, it sounds like she is flat and he is sharp. 🤷‍♀️ Just my opinion.

    • @tillydee933
      @tillydee933 3 роки тому +3

      @bad1dobby I've never been a great speller. Lol. To be fair, most people are outclassed when put up next to Alfie Boe. I love Idina, but her placement is too forward and would not blend with him well... I'd have paired him with Sierra Boggess or the legendary Lea Salonga. ^_^ Someone with a similar classic opera placement and true chest belt. ;)

      @simonstaples4458 3 роки тому +2

    • @chong2389
      @chong2389 3 роки тому +5

      Another 'marketing' scheme..."let's put two singers from different genres together to draw their respective fans to the concert" to maximize profits. Sometimes it works, in this case it did not. Setting a classically trained voice with one that is not is a risk if the classically trained voice does not attempt to compensate. Alfie Boe has a beautiful voice, as does Melanie C. But Alfie chose to go full bore and not 'blend'. Musical theatre is a hybrid genre where the 'operatic' may be suitable or not. I noticed one person commented that Melanie C was 'outclassed' by Alfie Boe. Rubbish! Both can sing with power and with tenderness. Alfie's 'power' is his training to project to the back row of the third balcony sans microphone. Melanie C's power is making us believe the emotions of the song. That's not to say that Alfie Boe cannot convey emotions in a believable manner.
      It's the difference in 'projection' that you perceive as flatness or sharpness.
      Just the opinion of a classically trained musician who has played in orchestras for opera singers and musicals.

    I have to disagree with almost all the comments. While he has a phenomenal voice, it is not suited to this song at all, which is more of a Pop/Broadway duet. Mel’s voice is much more suited for it than his. They’re definitely mismatched but he shouldn’t be singing Christian’s part. Moulin Rouge isn’t an opera. It’s a pop musical.

He was trying way too hard to pull emotion and forcing his voice off....and Mel heard it! You can see her trying to coach his pitch with her hand movements. If you tune him out, this sounds SO much better.

    Okay...no one will want to hear this...but I think parts of Melanie's duet with Alfie seems a bit out of her range. She has a beautiful voice but I love it when she sings in a lower register...seems that she is really reaching for some notes in a few parts of the song. I love it anyway....just a comment...just a comment...

    Ok. It wasn’t unpleasant to listen to. It certainly isn’t the best version I’ve heard. Both very talented vocalists, but kind of mismatched here. I’ll go listen to Ewan & Nicole from the film version to reset my barometer now.
