Jeremy... ok...I'll admit it. I was sort of dreading the movie because I thought there is NO-ONE who would be able to even touch Norbert's performance of Jaime (and this song in particular)...but WOW. That was great! Ok....I''m on board.
Renske Dunnewold I think they might go with a dark skinned Fiyero like in the book. They did say they would incorporate elements from the book that weren't in the musical.
How is it that Jeremy can have such power over how I’m feeling? Like, seriously, if he’s smiling and happy, then I’m smiling and happy; if he’s sad and has tears in his eyes, then I get teary-eyed. Dude, you’re killing me.

I've seen two different productions of TL5Y and Jamie upstaged Cathy in both. Judging from those productions, online clips and knowing the soundtrack inside and out, I think there is a certain bias implanted on us to like him more (even if we don't realize it) since the musical starts off with Cathy's depressing songs contrasting with Jamie's upbeat fun songs. SPOILER ALERT: Even near the end when Jamie's songs morph into sad ones and Cathy's become nice and light, we end up feeling bad for Jamie- even though not many people want to feel bad for someone who cheats, the way he describes his feelings in "Nobody needs to know" and "Goodbye until tomorrow" leaves us with that cringing feeling that although we don't want to accept his bad decisions, we're not all that surprised with them when we line them up with how Cathy deals with herself and how she responds to their marriage during her struggles as an actress. Not to say that Cathy isn't a likable character or that her struggles are invalid. She has every right to be pissed at Jamie's ignorance of her world (I see them as living in two different worlds for the most part. Seems to me they have pretty poor communication)
Amy Soria I think part of the reason we see Jamie outshining Cathy for most of the show is because this is a semi-autobiographical show based on Jason Robert Brown's marriage. Not to say that JRB purposely made Jamie a stronger character than Cathy to snub his ex-wife--he's my favorite composer and I don't see him as the kind of person that would do that--but I do think TL5Y is more Jamie's story than Cathy's, especially since from Jamie's POV it's in chronological order. That being said, JRB does hold both parties accountable for the disintegration of the marriage, so he's neither placing the blame or accepting the blame for his own divorce. At least that's how I understand the show. It's all open to interpretation.
I really don't understand.. how come this guy is not all over broadway and releasing his own songs and albums? I mean he is a hell of a performer with velvet incredible voice! I know he did the famous musical newsies but it's not enough! He's not less talented than Ramin Karimloo!
He has been on a lot of broadway shows and Jeremy has been around for many years but tv makes more money than broadway and not everyone wants to release an album. Maybe he will release an album in the future but at the mo he has a contract with DC.
Newsies, bonnie and Clyde, last five years, smash, tangled series, loads of little songs here and there, he was the very first J.D when the musical first came around (not the movie)
One of our best singing actors! Yes, the voice is astonishing. But the way he uses it . . . and how he shapes the music to the lyric . . . and brings out the full meaning. Such a rare talent. Thank you for posting. I've lost count of the number of times I've watched this. And it gets me every time. And P.S. Ben is brilliant!
I didn't know what to expect, as I have heard of the movie version of The Last Five Years, but I've only seen some fellow students perform it. I'm glad I got to hear this, so I know what to expect when/if the movie comes out. He sounds a LOT like the original singer mixed with one of my fellow students. I like it. :3
No "if" about it, 'cause it's made and soon to be released. I believe Harvey Weinstein made a deal to distribute it, back when it showed at the Toronto International Film Festival. They made the movie really quickly, back in spring/summer 2013. I've been excited about it since the news first broke that they were planning it, but I only just realized that the director is the same guy who wrote THE FISHER KING (as well as a bunch of other good movies, along with those he directed),. Richard LaGravanese. Looking forward to it even more now.
The pianist played a chord before he started... Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan and he is super talented, but he found his starting pitch from that first chord.
Pauline Lauron the previous comment is right. He found it very quickly after the chord was played which shows he had a very good idea of where the pitch was (:
oldmanmcnoober yes. As long as there's at least 1 chord, it's pretty easy to go from there. In choir we get starting 0irches because usually there's no instrumentation before the singing begins.
holy hell.. that was awesome, i still prefer NLB's voice, but you really can't argue hat JJ has great pipes... :D can't wait for the movie to come out!
Agreed! Norbert will always be the #1 Jamie. I miss the energy and crazy riffs he brought to this song. Nevertheless, Jeremy was pretty good, and did it justice! Pretty excited to see the movie now!
Gonna go ahead and disagree. I get the "the original is always best because it's what I'm used to" angle. But Norbert doesn't have a fraction of the charisma that Jeremy Jordan has... and Jeremy knows how to pick his spots in songs... acting. More importantly- he'll actually make Jamie likable... something I think is missed by most- including Norbert.
If you have seen either of these men in a production, then your opinion counts. Otherwise, shut the fuck up. This is a concert. And he's hamming it up.
The three men I've seen play Jamie--Norbert Leo Butz, Adam Kantor, and now Jeremy Jordan--have all made the character their own. While it was Norbert's Jamie that made me fall in love with the show, his is my least favorite interpretation. He said it himself in an interview, The Last 5 Years was one of his hardest projects to get through because during his run he was having a similar experience through his own divorce. Adam and Jeremy had an easier time with their interpretations because a.) they had Norbert's to base their's off of and b.) they have had a lot more time to work on their acting choices and make Jamie completely their own. Jamie Wellerstein is a living, breathing character and any man who steps into those shoes will of course have a lot to live up to, but shouldn't feel afraid to measure up to Norbert's performance. Jason Robert Brown created a timeless character that leaves a lot of room to play and have fun with this man who's life crumbles right before the audience's eyes.
I swear he could sing the phone book and I would still play it on repeat.
Honestly I think the same thing
Same 😂
Lol
Watch him do it
Imagine him as a ringtone??????
“Cause there’s NO REFUNDS 😁” that was so funny I love JJ 😂😂
When you realise that 5:47 - 6:02 is all in one breath. Jeremy Jordan: You had my curiosity. Now you have my attention.
Jfc that was one breath youre right!! WOAH
Also A4 which is amazing
I don't get how that was physically and emotionally possible...
We just gonna ignore he just hit a high c in that riff
What when ???
the black cat 4:52
That's not his highest note in this song! high Db at 6:08
He sang an Eb5 in I’ve told you now
Jeremy is such an excellent musician, his phrasing carries the intent of every sentence perfectly, those no breaths are to die for
Jeremy... ok...I'll admit it. I was sort of dreading the movie because I thought there is NO-ONE who would be able to even touch Norbert's performance of Jaime (and this song in particular)...but WOW. That was great! Ok....I''m on board.
ok
I always like listening to Jeremy’s live performances of songs more than his recordings of them. He’s just that talented.
How does he make it look so easy to sing??
Jazz O 😂😂
Jazz O moving too fast isn't that hard of a song I personally have more trouble with I can do better than that
Ashlynnn Fairchild Maybe because that song was written for women.
@@ashlynnnfairchild3355 I can imagine it's easier for a woman's voice, for a guy it's got some high ass tenor notes😂😂
I NEED him as Fiyero, asap.
Yeah, he should play him in the movie version they're making!
PLEASE
HOLY CRAP Y E S
Renske Dunnewold I think they might go with a dark skinned Fiyero like in the book. They did say they would incorporate elements from the book that weren't in the musical.
In the wicked movie PLEASE
hes drinking apple juice what a king
5:52 i just about died, hes so talented
Jeremy Jordan is like my favorite person ever.
5:50 to 6:12 is my favorite part. that "Spinning out of control-ooh" or whatever is amazing
sounds just as good live as he does recorded. AMAZING
I like the vulnerability he puts into the performance. I was nervous at first about his casting, but now I can't wait to see him in this.
How is it that Jeremy can have such power over how I’m feeling? Like, seriously, if he’s smiling and happy, then I’m smiling and happy; if he’s sad and has tears in his eyes, then I get teary-eyed. Dude, you’re killing me.
TOO MUCH PASSION
HES SO INTO THE SONG AND THE STORY I LOVE IT
I love when people can put all of their emotion into every song they sing. It's incredible, Jeremy does it brilliantly
Just wanted to mention, this song is my alarm tone... did I just hear an alarm start ringing? Well, yes.
So every time I go into the comments of a Jeremy Jordan video every comment without fail is essentially “my god that man has talent”
Great performance, Winn/Jack Kelly/ Varian/ Jamie/ Clyde!
And now also Seymour, and Dr.Pomatter
And now else Lucifer
Bonnie and Clyde should come back to Broadway!!
Anna Lee I would love a Bonnie and Clyde movie like they did for Newsies
this man is so talented, whoever has the chance to see him live is so lucky
Did I just hear an alarm start ringing?
Did I see sirens go flying past?
Though I don't know what tomorrow's bringing
I've got a singular impression
Things are moving too fast
I'm gliding smooth as a figure skater
I'm riding hot as a rocket blast
I just expected it ten years later
I've got a singular impression
Things are moving too fast
And you say, "Oh, no
Step on the brakes
Do whatever it takes
But stop this train
Slow, slow! The light's turing red"
But I say: No! No!
Whatever I do
I barrel on through
And I don't complain
No matter what I try
I'm flying full speed ahead
I'm never worried to walk the wire
I won't do anything just "half-assed"
But with the stakes getting somewhat higher
I've got a singular impression things are moving too fast
I found a woman I love
And I found an agent who loves me
Things might get bumpy but
Some people analyze every detail
Some people stall when they can't see the trail
Some people freeze out of fear that they'll fail
But I keep rollin' on
Some people can't get success with their art
Some people never feel love in their heart
Some people can't tell the two things apart
But I keep rollin' on
Oh, oh - maybe I can't follow through
But oh, oh - what else am I supposed to do?
I dreamed of writing like the high and mighty
Now I'm the subject of a bidding war
I met my personal Aphrodite
I'm doing things I never dreamed of before
We start to take the next step together
Found an apartment on Seventy-Third
The Atlantic Monthly's printing my first chapter
Two thousand bucks without rewriting one word
I left Columbia and I don'tregret it
I wrote a book and Sonny Mehta read it
My heart's been stolen
My ego's swollen
I just keep rollin' along
And I think
Well, well, what else is in store?
Got all this and more before twenty-four
It's hard not to be sure
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm feeling panicked and rushed and hurried
I'm feeling outmaneuvered and outclassed
But I'm so happy I can't get worried
About this singular impression
I've got a singular impression things are moving too fast
Thank you for share The lyrics
Omg, Jeremy Jordan is just- I can't even- GOD BLESS THIS MAN
2:44 for the singing.
I luv you
THANKS
Cheater
Honestly I think he's going to upstage Anna Kendrick in this movie
I've seen two different productions of TL5Y and Jamie upstaged Cathy in both.

saw the film last night. and he does upstage anna. shes was lovely but he was incredible. Anna kendrick's summer in ohio was adorable though
damn I have to wait til February to see the film. :(
adrienne wai uggh jealous, how did you see it so early??
Amy Soria I think part of the reason we see Jamie outshining Cathy for most of the show is because this is a semi-autobiographical show based on Jason Robert Brown's marriage.

…I have a massive crush on Jeremy Jordan

@@olliecoates4723he played JD? do you know if there are any recordings of him performing any of his numbers from Heathers?
@@raven-cat-loverhe wasn’t JD, he just sung the songs cuz he helped to workshop it. The first real JD was Ryan McCartan
He can sing whatever he wants! He is so awesome
he is so good. even ben platt and john groff can't hit those notes
I wish he would release this as an album :)
I'm still waiting tbh
I love Jeremy as Jamie so much
If this movie isn't released soon I just might lose my mind.
Cannot. Wait. For this. Movie. I'm bouncing in my seat and I still have a month and a half to go until it comes out.
Daaaang I love the “panicked and rushed” part!!!!
This is the best live performance of this song. There I said it!!
He's my favorite out of all of them. I love them all, but Jordan's voice and performance is just crisp and flawless.
I watched the movie today, and I love Anna, but... He did. He totally did. I
Holy Damn. It was a great performance!
His voice gives me chills. WOOOOWWW
*sings* SOME PEOPLE GETS TO BE TALENTED AND ATTRACTIVEEEE
i would spend so much money just for him to sing with/to/for me. this man is amazing. I can't wait for the movie!
6:07 is still everything
God I really hope this movie actually gets to see the light of day because I've already fallen in love with Jeremy in this role.
could listen to 5:30 to 5:58 allllllll day. especially 5:51 to 5:57 holy HELL those vocals
One of our best singing actors! Yes, the voice is astonishing. But the way he uses it . . . and how he shapes the music to the lyric . . . and brings out the full meaning. Such a rare talent.

He's awesome!!!
This was fabulous
Wow I'm in love. He is fantastic
How's THAT for an opening song?! No matter how many times you watch it, this never stops being phenomenal.

He's absolutely insaaaane!!
He is perfect
I'm totally lost for words.
this makes me super excited for the movie to come out

Julia Marie well than good luck
OMG HAHAHAHAHA Have u given birth?

Lordy this man can sing
This is the difference between an actor who can sing and a singer trying to act. Dude *becomes* the songs he sings.
I've been waiting forever for this to come out!
So excited now that I've heard him sing!
This song is so good. I loved the movie As well
I didn't know what to expect, as I have heard of the movie version of The Last Five Years, but I've only seen some fellow students perform it.

I commented this when I didn't know whether or not it would come out. I'm not mad that he's playing Jamie, I think it's awesome. :)
Perfection!! A true singer right there😍😍
i don't know if you noticed but nobody gave him the pitch before he started singing.
The pianist played a chord before he started... Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan and he is super talented, but he found his starting pitch from that first chord.

He is my favorite person ever! I know he's married but IDC I wanna marry him! He my fav and he's sooooooooooo hoootttttttt
This is such a thrilling performance!
I'm so in Love of this man❤
OMG! So talented!!!
He definitely ate Anna Kendrick in the movie with all that talent but hey they were both so good ♥️
so this was before being casted as Jamie in the movie The Last 5 years
In the intro he explains he and Anna Kendrick just finished filming the movie.
ohh sorry
I skipped where he sang the song
indeed, worthy of a round of very warm applause:-)
I love him so much ❤️and one of my son’s biggest influences . Frank Tyler Berrios ❤️and in my eyes there is only 1 Jeremy Jordan 😍
Thanks for uploading these! :D
holy hell.. that was awesome, i still prefer NLB's voice, but you really can't argue hat JJ has great pipes... :D can't wait for the movie to come out!

The North America film release date has been announced: February 14, 2015!
I don't know why but his facial expressions remind me of Lindsay Mendez (especially compared to her singing The Wizard and I)
5:47-6:02 no breaths, just belting. i'm gonna fucking lose my mind
Is he the guy from supergirl???!!
yup
Andre Carandang I just noticed too
OF COURSE!! JEREMY JORDAN IS A FAMOUS ACTOR AND BROADWAY SINGER!!😀😀 HE PLAYS IN MANY MUSICALS
Yes
Wow
미친 개잘해 ;; crazy guy!!!!!! he is great
That was lowkey surreal
WOW
He's definitely not Norbert. But I think he's gonna do a great job.
Agreed! Norbert will always be the #1 Jamie. I miss the energy and crazy riffs he brought to this song. Nevertheless, Jeremy was pretty good, and did it justice! Pretty excited to see the movie now!
Gonna go ahead and disagree. I get the "the original is always best because it's what I'm used to" angle. But Norbert doesn't have a fraction of the charisma that Jeremy Jordan has... and Jeremy knows how to pick his spots in songs... acting. More importantly- he'll actually make Jamie likable... something I think is missed by most- including Norbert.
You're right. He's not Norbert. His name is Jeremy Jordan.
If you have seen either of these men in a production, then your opinion counts. Otherwise, shut the fuck up. This is a concert. And he's hamming it up.
The three men I've seen play Jamie--Norbert Leo Butz, Adam Kantor, and now Jeremy Jordan--have all made the character their own. While it was Norbert's Jamie that made me fall in love with the show, his is my least favorite interpretation. He said it himself in an interview, The Last 5 Years was one of his hardest projects to get through because during his run he was having a similar experience through his own divorce. Adam and Jeremy had an easier time with their interpretations because a.) they had Norbert's to base their's off of and b.) they have had a lot more time to work on their acting choices and make Jamie completely their own.

Jason Robert Brown created a timeless character that leaves a lot of room to play and have fun with this man who's life crumbles right before the audience's eyes.
