      It definitely is sped up cause on the album you can hear Brian D’arcy James rich baritone voice and here he seems to have the brightness and lightness of a tenor voice

    I'm incredibly excited to be doing Shrek Jr. (especially since I'm playing Shrek), but I'm a little upset that this song was removed from the Jr. version, as i think it adds so much to Shrek's character. It's also just a really good song.

    Imagine how much more significant this song would have felt if Shrek didn't actually sing because his characterization as a grump who doesn't go along with the genre was kept intact until this moment.

      @mack_r-s Місяць тому +1

      ​@@pink-a-palouza7888I think it's mainly because if you compare it to other songs like I know It's Today and Forever, Who I'd Be is not AS essential to the plot as those other ones (as in, it can be cut from the musical with little consequences). If I know It's Today and Forever were cut, we wouldn't get to see Fiona or the dragon's key characteristics and motives, and the story wouldn't make sense anymore. Meanwhile with Shrek, we can still understand his character without Who I'd Be, even if it's more simple than in the full version.

      Let's explore that claim.
      Shrek never wanted to be the bad guy he was forced into that life by a prejudiced society.
      As an ogre he is destined to be the bad guy, it makes sense that the alternative would seem so attractive.
