to everyone saying he messed the lyrics up he most likley did it on purpose to prove he isn't lip syncing. damon albarn does this alot during his live performances cause he's so good people think he lip syncs
Leonardo Birdman no, he simply forgot how the song goes and there's nothing wrong with that. He knows as well which is why he said at the end that the audience might know the lyrics better. It doesn't matter though, his voice is that of a legend.
Even if he forgot some words who honestly gives a shit Ken Page is a amazing musician who has more than proved himself that he can sing and doesn't have to keep proving himself to no one plus it probably had been awhile since he had performed this so chances are he probably did forget some lyrics. Plus give the man a break he is in his 60s.
Ken Page is a fantastic actor and singer who puts his heart into it. I kind of wish he could get more roles. I mean, I'm glad he's Oogie Boogie and he still loves the role (Can't say the same for other actors who experience being pigeon holed), but it'd be cool to see him in other roles.
Reason why it sounds so pure and good: . The original recording was raw and not altered with some stupid software to make it sound "better" like most performers these days
This is one credit I have to give TNBC cast. The singers for all the songs sound just as good live as in the film. Hard to sound that good without editing or noticeable sound mixing
papershadow69 There’s a very easy way to get that type of sound every single time: use musical theatre actors, or at least actors with a musical theatre background.
"But now with your premission... I'm gunna do my stuff!" "What are you going to do!?" "I'm gunna do the best I can.. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Quality evil laugh, bashful, booming, guttural but somehow not cheesy and forced. Awesome feat, and something not many people can just naturally nail right away on a single take!
"A large man with an even larger heart - If you ever want to feel protected, just tuck in next to this big bag of love." - Harvey Fierstein, talking about Ken Page.
Legitimately brings a smile to my face whenever I hear this song. Honestly quite masterful, although it appears simple. And he seems like such a nice guy too.
this man is a champion of champions the world needs more people like him I love how there's like no difference between the movie version and live version... that's jsut how good he is
Oogie Boogie owned that movie.
I love this man's voice. THAT IS ALL.
This mans laugh
I like when the audience goes "whooooaaa".
Leone Kaiser rlly good fans
he sounds exactly the same live , that dude is rad as shit .
No matter how old he gets, Ken Page will be the perfect voice actor for Oogie Boogie
to everyone saying he messed the lyrics up he most likley did it on purpose to prove he isn't lip syncing. damon albarn does this alot during his live performances cause he's so good people think he lip syncs
And with a voice like his, who can justly complain? Also, the performance was spot on in terms of capturing the vocal characteristics of the Bogeyman!
Leonardo Birdman ohhh that exsplanes alot
Leonardo Birdman like alot

TheChildofAuraReborn does he still do stuff like this?
You can see he playing Old Deuteronomy in "Cats, the movie" He don't sing everytime, but, when he sing, is a realy show!
+Beatriz Santo Ermergerd he was at the Sacanime Convention this recent weekend. Met him and he's still an amazing guy.
Two words...Old Deuteronomy
I'd pay big money to have this guy's voice... so awesome!
He even says at the end, "You probably know the words better than I do." So humble!

Tokkie Hur You're dumb lmao.
Well that and this man is a consummate professional who performed on Broadway several times a week for years lol
he's awesome usually people who sing live don't sound nothing like they do in the movie but he sounds just lik he does in the movie
I get the chills everytime. This is ony my all time favorite songs and not only in the movie.
One of the most amazing voices I've ever heard. His voice is a gift. I can't believe my ears!
Oh my gosh, he's awesome. One of the villains i actually liked.
Ken Page... You give a touch to this song.... That no other person could ever give!

Ken Page is my hero like daaaaaang he actually sounds good live
Oogie Boogie's is my favorite villain ♥
Music makes a free man
He looks so happy and into singing this song
"But now with your premission... I'm gunna do my stuff!"
"What are you going to do!?"
"I'm gunna do the best I can.. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
ITS FUNNY! I'M LAUGHING! YOU REALLY ARE TOO MUCH!
And now wit your permission, im going to do my stuff
Santa: What are you gonna do?
Oogie: Im gonna do the best I can!
Mahogany Brown Whooaaaa, The sound of rolling dice to me is muusic in the air, 'Cause im a gambling Boogie man, although I dont play fair!
It's much more fun, I must confess
When lives are on the line
Not mine, of course, but yours, oldboy
Now that'd be just fine
Mahogany Brown Realese me fast r you must have to answer for for this hainous act!
Opooie booge is my favourite nightmare before Christmas character ever

This guy can't be beat.
Once the shades go on you know it's time for a oogie song.
Awesome. most people dont sound good live but he rocks,.
His voice is amazing I can’t believe someone voice Oogie Boogie 👏
this movie was my childhood and i remember being 4 dancing around to this song. im inlove with this
His voice makes my skin go goosebumps. So awesome.
WOOOO Sond of the dice is music to my ears.
Now that's how live is done. Perfect!
I can't even describe how awesome this is. He has an amazing voice and the charisma to back it up. I CAN'T STOP SMILING JKASLHDKLSJDKLS
Quality evil laugh, bashful, booming, guttural but somehow not cheesy and forced. Awesome feat, and something not many people can just naturally nail right away on a single take!
I can't believe how amazing he sounds without all the perfection of a quiet studio. Super talented, no auto tune necessary
Oogie Boogie is the reason I live that movie!

Ken Page has one of the best evil laughs. I love watching him at the Muny in the summers.
One of the best people in this world
AWESOME JUST BRILLIANT!
I love how he looks up when Santa first speaks, like he's completely confused, and wasn't expecting that to happen
So awesome!! Ken page is the one and only Oogie Boogie XD
I like how he puts sun glasses on when the music starts like you all know what's coming
While I love all the songs, this is by far the best IMO. It's like it was especially written for Page - just fantastic.
