jamie muscato
Sorry but “juanas” LOL HAHAHAHA
my two favorite J.D's of all time are thomas sanders and ryan mccartan
This is how I found out about Thomas? Omg
JAMIE MUSCATO AND JORDAN LUKE ATE
Jamie Muscato is by far the best. In my opinion… I mean, did you SEE that gun twirl right when he said “I can set you free” SO COOL!!!
Sorry they're all great but Jamie Muscato is unbeatable on this song. It's not only his vocal technique but his interpretation, the way he makes you feel that JD has become completely mad is unique.
I also love how he mimics the style of a lot of 80s singers in this song in addition to everything else he is doing
I have to say, I'm not the biggest fan of the West End Version, but God damn it Jamie Muscato is phenomenal. He's honestly the best JD I've seen, the way he flinches whenever Veronica touches him, his expressions, his singing, everything is incredible.
well everyone has their opinion mine is ryan ofc
But RYAN >>>>
💯 AGREE 🙌
My favorite will always be Ryan McCartan. The way he yells Veronica soo viciously makes me scared every time. He is such an amazing JD and is a little underrated because of Jamie. They are both definitely amazing, but I think Ryan portrays the different sides of JD soo well, better than anybody: demon JD and human JD.
I *cannot* separate him from being diggie-😭 also I'm pretty sure he was canceled for treating dove cameron like shit but idek anymore- 💀
@@ding-dong_bing-bong who che fuck is Dove cameron-
@nugget4950 they were both on a show in the early 2010s called "liv and maddie" where dove played two twins with one being a famous actress and the other being an athlete, diggie was maddie's love interest, it was pretty good at the time but I haven't seen it since so I'm not sure how it holds up lol
@@ding-dong_bing-bong ohhh thanks for the context
@@nugget4950 np!
JD feels like a male jury duty for broadway actors-every male actor has to play him and apparently none of us knew that half of our favorite actors played him at some point
🤣🤣🤣LOL that's So Right... In my Case Spetially with Jeremy Jordan or Ryan McCartan ( Well honestly, More Jeremy Jordan than Ryan McCartan)
add Fiyero onto that list
If you’re a man in musical theatre under the age of 40, you’ve been a Newsie in Newsies or Mormon from The Book Of Mormon. If you can’t dance, you were a J.D from Heathers or Fiyero in Wicked.
0:35 Ryan's "VERONICA!" and "FUCK IT!" was the best. It was terrifying asf.
1:07 Dan's switches between going crazy and pleading was the best. from "VERONICA!" to "open the open the door please..." "VERONICA." "open the door." His duallity was spot on.
Dan, Ryan, and Jamie are the best.
(ALSO I WANT TO SEE MORE OF JEREMY JORDAN AS JD HE IS PERFECT)
I agree with you with my whole heart
I sadly cannot see Jeremy as anyone except Jack from newsies, because of the no. times I’ve listened to the soundtrack
@@rosebreeds5057for me Jeremy will always be Clyde
Totally fcking agree
jeremy simply is varian for me tbh
I love how JD is insane and vicious in this song but in his picture Ryan McCartan is smiling and laughing
I love how people who seem so sweet like Jeremy, Ryan and Thomas, can pull off playing bad boy villains. I love it
@@Dreamyy_Remyy Except JD isn't a bad boy villain, he's a traumatized boy who takes his trauma out on others which makes him dangerous. He's so attached to Veronica to the point he'd do anything for her, which is why he eventually loses his mind once Veronica breaks up with him.
He justifies killing these people because they're worthless humans to him, as in Heather Chandler, someone who was nothing but mean to everyone (and Veronica) which is why he could justify killing her. And Kurt and Ram were assholes towards her (Veronica) as well, they constantly hit on her and even went as far as trying to make a move on her without consent. He can justify these murders because these are people who hurt someone he loved more than anyone else in his life and a sense of stability for himself, he's a manipulator but he thinks what he's doing is the best for Veronica, blowing up the school so that all the toxins that infected the school would be eradicated. Everything he does is what he "should" be doing in the name of his love for Veronica, despite it not being what Veronica wants, he still convinces himself and her that it's what's best for the both of them.
Forrest has got to be one of the most underrated JD's
I completely agree, to me it is the perfect level of insanity and he just kills it
@@krisbonilla858 exactly, he nails the sociopath role so well!
I absolutely agree
Ryan McCartan really belts it out there like a real desperate mad man
I love Ryan so much. His voice is so manipulative in this song and he’s a perfect choice for JD in my opinion
HONESTLY, DAN JUST TAKES THE WHOLE CAKE FOR ME. HE'S SO GOOD AT SINGING AND I LOVE HOW HE PORTRAYS JD. I ALSO HAVE A MINI BIAS BECAUSE WHEN I SEE HIM AS JD THAT'S HOW I IMAGINE JD WOULD LOOK, SO LIKE DAN DOMENECH SOLOS
YES I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING IN THIS COMMENT (I also have a slight bias because I saw him as jd first)
@@super-sizedmcshizzle6235 YEAH SAME
Nah he's the weakest imo
@@tutin4090 Have you heard his Freeze Your Brain? The end is so good 😭
DAN THE BEST
ITS JAMIE and RYAN that’s the ICING ON THE CAKE FOR ME ♥️😩
but forest and jorden were also really good too
but for acting as JD dan and ryan are my all time favorites ♥️♥️♥️
I think why Jamie Muscato slayed so hard with JD is because he didn't over-sell it. Every movement he made has purpose. Every moment of "crazy" was done with intention, and that's why when he just stands and stares while singing at the audience, it's even more unsettling and scary
I feel like no one talks about Forrest Filiano because his acting is just top notch
Forrest is so underrated smh
fr
fr!!
Exactly
Agreed, to me he's neck and neck with Jamie, and both interpretations are so different it really feels unfair to compare the two. What's the most impressive to me is that he holds his own against performers who are in the professional circuit, and they all probably have at least 5-10 years on him. I would love to see him perform the role in a professional venue someday, he is so so talented and deserves a full run as JD.
the way he just wackes his chest😂
100% Ryan. I love the official Spotify version for him but hearing his sheer desperation and insanity screaming near the end towards Veronica’s name is perfection. He sounds so deranged and broken.
You're telling me JEREMY JORDAN was JD and I NEVER KNEW THIS
i was surprised too when i first discobered
EXACTLY
I HAD NO IDEA THOMAS PLAYED JD IN HEATHERS??? THATS SO COOL
Yup!
RIGHT? I SCREAMED "THOMAS?!"
YEAAA
The best one is Forrest Filiano’s.The way he screams Veronica and that’s just so realistic,you can feel the fact that jd is crazy in forrest version.it’s just mesmerizing. 3:25
mans was literally doing pushups before he went on stage to get into character😭
Also Diego!!!
Yup. I chose him too😊
For me he was overacting, it was too much tbh
Jamie Muscato makes you feel the character. His acting is amazing
Hearing Thomas Sanders in 2015 and 2022 shows how much he’s grown as a vocalist and performer
Ryan's performance is just unreal tho
So in for Jordan, his "VERONICA!!" is so scary, as it should
I Know, Right ?/ lo sé, ¿ Verdad ?
Honestly Jamie’s performance is just flawless to me, it has always been my favorite and probably always will be. The way he shifts emotions so quickly is so impressive, really. Additionally, I liked both Ryan’s and Dan’s performances as well. Back to fan-girling over Jaime though, the west end cast is spectacular, and Carrie and Jamie are an ICONIC duo…PERIOD.
The whiplash at seeing Thomas Sanders bc I didn’t know he did this 💀
Samèeee
How have Iived my entire theatre kid life not knowing that Jeremy Jordan was apart of the making of Heathers, and also sang a version of Meant To Be Yours.
can we just talk about how well diego montez did?? like he showed how absolutely insane jd is and he showed it SO well. idc that he sang in portuguese that's the best portrayal of jd i've seen
This production was in Brazil so he's singing in Portuguese. But yes he SLAYED that.
Dan Domenech will always be my favorite JD
He was the first JD I’ve seen and I also love how he plays the character (especially the way he says “BAM BAM BAM” earlier in the song
I feel like everyone’s first Heathers production was Dan and we all for whatever reason forget how good he is
How is this the first time I've noticed Jamie Muscato's JD do that little gun flip, that's such a cool detail
jamie is my personal fav, but woah jeremy and jordan and so good and underrated
They're all great!
The guy singing meant to be yours is so good at singing
I like Ryan and Jamie
But just..D A N
YES
Jamie is my personal favourite but Forrest is so under rated he is really good
ryan if i feel like listening to film accurate jd, jamie if i wanna feel guilty
THIS - Ryan brings batshit crazy film JD to the stage PERFECTLY
Obviously Jamie Muscato is great there’s no denying that, but Wendell Scherer is so underrated the way he pleads “can we not fight anymore” and the way he goes from off the rails threatening to desperate pleading that is exactly how I would’ve expected it to sound.
It’s too contrived for me
Dan’s vocal technique and high notes really take it for me. Like bro those NOTESS 🔥🔥🔥
Glad you included a few non-English versions. Diego does something interesting, yelling rather than singing the final line before “I’m gonna count to 3!” Actually works well at showing his broken state, as he breaks what would be expected of the musical. Not a fan of his use of the gun, but I also think Forest(one of my favorites) does it weirdly as well by having the gun while yelling Veronica, before putting it away to count. Opposite would’ve clarified that that was the point he became ready to kill her.
Can't believe Forest's version is actually a collage stage play. His version is the first Heathers' stage play I'd seen, and I actually love this version best
The improvement in emotion and tone for Thomas in the second clip is honestly so impressive
I love that we got to hear both.
Ryan and Jamie are for sure my personal favorites but OBVIOUSLY everyone of them KILLED it!
It’s a crime that Jeremy Jordan has only done the workshop. I need to see him do an official production. Dan Domenech is AMAZING!!!! Simon Gordon is also really good too.
Why is nobody talking about how AMAZING Jordan Luke Gage is at playing JD!
Agreed
They are all amazing, but no one compares to Ryan!! He is just made for the role!! ❤
jamie paved the way for future jds but I absolutely adore jacob
My favourite one is definitely Forrest Filiano, he performed J.d as if he was actually him!, not to mention his impeccable voice performance, the first time i saw the video literally i got chills due his voice.
Pd: pls correct me if i have a bad english i'm still learning and i want to be able to talk it perfectly :D
JJ and Jamie are so good also Zachs is a little funky I love it
Jamie brings an extra edge I think. He looks so dark under his eyes and withdrawn, he's like a walking criminal mugshot. He genuinely looks like an unstable male teenager who's planning a massive school murder spree. His way of singing doesn't play off as hammy, or glossily 'theatrical'. It feels like you're listening to him reason and deliberate in a spoken tv drama, with subtle changes of emotion; delusion, heartbreak, tired, impatient despair and then pure, vitriolic manic anger.
Honestly I think he's one of the best but watching him is triggering for me because his expressions are SO CLOSE to those of an abusive ex of mine. Which means he has completely done his homework as an actor in this role. His performance is very true to life and like you mention, never feels contrived or phony.
I may be biased but Jeremy, Ryan and Thomas will forever be my favorites. I need to see Jeremy as JD tho
੭﹕ _my favorite version of this song is Jamie's ‹3, his interpretation, his voice and how well he interprets him is so 🛐. I feel like no one can play J.D. better. because he can fit perfectly as a psycho, manipulative, narcissistic and crazy, besides, that trick with the gun is very _*_cheff kiss_*
i’ve never heard the one from brazil but DAMN diego has got some VOCALS!!! jamie, ryan and jordan i think were my favorite performances for sure.
the way Ryan ROARS then in the next instant whimpers out the next line damn he and Jamie are perfect JDs Jordan was also a highlight for me !
Dan, Ryan and Jacob have to be my favourite. I get chills everytime i listen to them singing it
oh its the “Veronica open the door” song 🤩
Yup!
The Song is Called "Meant to be yours "
Ryan McCartan captures the mood really well, and Jamie Muscato does extremely well both in terms of acting and singing for this song. While I am a sucker for Jamie, I can understand loving either.
Now I have to say: Why is no one talking about Jordan Luke Gage?!? That man does just as well as Ryan and Jamie in terms of capturing psychopath and still sings very well. Honestly, he may capture the mental breakdown better than any of these others. Super underrated performance
Edit: Forgot to mention: Also love Dan's performance, his version of the first half of the song is the best, no one goes "BAM BAM BAM" quite like he does
obviously Jamie's interpretation is my fav for so many reasons but why is no one talking about Mariah? I completely forgot she did a cover of this song and it gives me so many chills every time
Dan domenech is THE best jd in my opinion. He holds a special place in my heart
I am obsessed with Ryan as JD. Perfect casting. He legit scares me, every time he does that change from “VERONICA OPEN THE DOOR” to the softer voice just scares me…. But Dan’s JD is a close second
My fav is Dan, he's so sympathetic as JD, and his voice is incredible.
Dan is amazing, he's my favourite. Jamie obv is iconic.
Jeremy, Ryan, Jamie, and Thomas all stole my heart
For me, i really like Diego, Jamie and Ryan.
I can be a little biased because i'm brazilian, but i just love how Diego's JD is completely insane and just yells "PORRA" in the end.
Diego is so underrated, musical theatre in Brazil is so underrated!
He says “foda”
@@sorrynotsorry6 Eu sempre escutei "porra" e, até no ao vivo, ele grita "porra"
I heard "porra" and even live he yells "porra"
Curious fact : in The English version of Tangled The series Jeremy Jordan played The Character of Varian
Dan and Jamie were both phenomenal, but I have to give this to Dan
I'm actually surprised about how much I loved the west end versions. They're like really agressive and I absolutely love it.
5. Ryan
Pretty good.
4. Diego
this man was THROWING his arms. He was DEDICATED to that gun😭
3. Jordan
Good overall, most hysterical
2. Forrest
Proly the most intense
1. Jamie
He was the most interesting to watch and listen to
The Fact that also Juanse Diez did his cover of "Meant to be yours" just got me Surprised ( almost blew my Mind )
I NEVER KNEW THOMAS SANDERS PLAYED J.D
Didn't know Thomas Sanders was ever in an official production of Heathers, pretty cool
i agree that jamie, ryan and dan are amazing, however, i think forrest, zach and jordan are so good and underrated :/ wish people gave them more attention, they nail so much that role
Listen, we all know Jamie Muscato ROCKS JD, and he's gotta be my favorite interpretation, but I want to highlight Jordan Luke Gage. the way he sings/screams, the tonality of it really sounds like JD still thinks he's in the right, and has no idea why no one's listening. There's some... hopefulness? something that just screams that he doesn't think anything he's doing is truly wrong. The part where he almost tauntingly says "can we not fight anymore please" like he thinks all of this is a game, like this is just a little play before they get to do the "fun" stuff. Also, overtime as he sings the verse, he's quickly getting more desperate as he goes on, but still has the attempt of coaxing in his voice. I also might be overanalyzing this but who knows!
Hot take but I love Wendell as jd especially with his insturmentals and the non English jds add a new angle to his character especially with their dressing I just love them
im sorry but dan is literally the best , he's so iconic and u cant tell em otherwise
Dan had the best VERONICA scream imo
Seeing thomas sanders here after dan is such a flashbang
Dan. Idk why but the way he says Veronica is amazing omg
I can’t believe nobody’s talking about Forest. he’s my favorite, by FAR.
Confesión: usé este video para crear un mini Clip a partir de la versión de Juanse Diez
no me juzguen, es que de verdad se me hizo padre esa versión porque prueba que él además de hablar en español también es Talentoso cantando en inglés
Jamie will always be my fav, he put his whole life and soul into that character
I love how all the different renditions of JD sound so unique from one another. For example:
Ryan McCartan's - panicked and desperate.
Dan Domenech's - scared nearly.
Wendell Scherer's - sad and then stressed, which is emphasised with his hand on his head.
Zachariah Sterner's - like he's in a stressful mad rush.
Forrest Filiano's - sounds genuinely heartbroken but truly believes he is trying to help her and isn't a sociopath lol.
My favourite, Jamie Muscato's - A great mix of everything. He goes from sounding scared/concerned to angry. Really feels like he's on the verge of tears lol.
Ryan, Jordan, Dan and Forrest really captured his character imo
If you ever want to add another one, I have an audio from The Other Palace in 2023! I'd have to check the actor name, but he was amazing and isn't on here.
(The audio is also just really good in general and has the best Our Love is God I've ever heard)
Is it Jacob Fowler? cause if it is, I'm interested ;)
Honestly Dan, is my favourite. He really gives off the insanity of jd
I saw Jacob Fowler twice bc he’s doing UK tour now and he’s incredible
ryan and jamie are definitly my favourites
Jamie Muscato gives a lost mad vulnerable teenage vibe so well
I can’t decide between Wendel Scherer and Jamie Muscato. I really liked how Wendel portrayed JD, with a shaking voice and the mental instability- I can sort of tell when he counts 1…2… it really feels like he is waiting. Then he loses patience, which brings out the natural feeling in his “f-ck it”
For Jamie- there’s this manic look in his eyes. Overwhelming rage behind his powerful voice, the crack that feels vulnerable but this scene contrasts against the exact moment he spins the gun in his hand. It really feels like he is JD there.
RYAN AND JAMIE’S PERFORMANCES ARE SO WELL SUNG
FORREST FILIANO IS MY FAV TBH
Dan and ryan are my favorites tbh
idk theyre the first too versions i’ve ever seen and i just
idk i love them
Jacob Fowler is and always will be my favourite JD 😊
My favorite is Dan's one, I love his JD he is a really good singer and actor, I also like Ryan's one but I'll always prefer Dan
YOU GOT *THOMAS!*
faves are definitely Forrest (3:25), Diego (5:23), and ofc Jamie (3:58)
Jamie, Dan and Ryan are phenomenal
Diego's was unique! The erratic movements to the beats of the music was a nice touch
i feel like nobody is talking about jacob. he’s honestly one of the best jd’s and seeing him live was just incredible. he’s my personal favourite because he makes jd seem psychotic and insane rather than angry and shouty
¿ Sabían que decidí recrear la versión de Jeremy Jordan del personaje de JD en Gacha life ?
------------ in English / en inglés -------
Did you know that I decided to recreate Jeremy Jordan's version of JD's character in Gacha life?
Zachariah Sterner will always be my favorite JD. He did a lot of things I thought really made it his character. Also he's the only one I've gotten to see the whole show for.
Super fun to get to hear it in a different language!
Dan and Ryan for me but mostly Dan like he was the first JD I saw and I can only think of him when I think JD, also I loved his performance overall and Ryan was just amazing
