"Where is Love? from Oliver!

[@ninozamora1355]

I'm a voice student and this is one of my projects to memorize this while I was singing it the kid came at my studio and sang with me and his voice was so delightful to listen

[@Sionnach1601]

I wouldn't advise you to use this particular boy's rendition. He is artistically off-beat way too much, making it all just seem like a mistake, like no one ever taught him to sing in time. Yes, it's nice to break rules-a bit-but doing it all the time just makes it look like you don't have a clue, which is the case with the handlers of this boy.

[@darrenburnfan]

Absolutely beautiful and wonderful! What a singing voice!

[@thomasmcgready8597]

This very young Boy has a great voice. When I listen I can see why he was chosen for this part.

[@arusso961]

I had the exact same response to hearing him. I was immediately thinking of casting and this boy/voice is perfect.

[@thegentlementor]

I was shocked to see this presentation was almost 10 years ago! That cute little boy probably is in college by now. Great job!

[@larrygevirtz30]

The young man is great!

[@patrickssideburns2223]

beautiful

[@gerbytibayan2599]

Patrick's sideburns

[@lorevanhouten6552]

Great voice.

[@ss31dallas]

great voice!

[@davidpellegrene1133]

Wow. Amazing voice.

[@battlecorner66]

This is the best version of this song I've watched so far

[@francescaviceconti3770]

it's awful he's going like a runawy train not following the tempo the orchestra is running after him

[@battlecorner66]

Francesca Viceconti I saw that but I referred to his timbre and emotion.

[@PJL7095]

@@francescaviceconti3770hahaa… now see that’s funny because in this song Oliver is to control the tempo while the orchestra follows as a director who has done this show many time, I like how this particular boy sings it.

[@maestromuffin1]

it's 7 years later - but now, check out the new oliver at ny city center - Benjamin Pajak. He's AMAZING!

[@Sionnach1601]

​​@@francescaviceconti3770Thank you. Thank you. And thank you. "Runaway train" is the perfect description. I'm actually surprised that someone else in the comments section observed this. Everyone else here is like a clapping seal. They haven't a clue.

[@edwardherrera8224]

What a wonderful and great singing voice They pick the right person to sing this song I glad I went to see this musical I was overwhelmed by the wonderful cast I loved everything about it I glad I went to see Oliver and I enjoyed it Thank you for a great time 👍👍👍👍

[@andreaheredia3263]

amazing!!!!

[@billvo3763]

Yeah so true

[@frankhoner4945]

Truly a big voice

[@janeshoebridge1851]

AMAZING how did he do that

[@ShiaTheBunnyGirl]

His voice

[@zorisaurus]

Practise....lost of practise

[@Sionnach1601]

​@@zorisaurus Yes. He practised breaking every aspect of timekeeping and tempo-following imaginable.

[@Dyanabolic]

love is like over there

[@cryyuni]

😂😂💀

[@koiinobori]

yeah if you go down the road and take a left it should be the first thing you see

[@baldbeardedbloke6887]

Good Cover.

[@paulewing8166]

Nice arrangement/backing on the first half - might have laid on a few more legato strings on the last verse and refrain, just to jerk our tears out!! Pity the sound operator didn't get the reverb sorted till verse 2! Kid sings good - such a great song, so well done for picking the right little chappie to deliver this golden song.

[@eldiran2]

They also didn't do the second verse : 'Every night I...kneel and pray Let tomorrow.....be the day.' They simply repeated the first verse but used the pauses. Hmm...

[@wrinklies2167]

Just to say I think that there is too much music drowning the lovely voice of this little boy

[@Sionnach1601]

He's singing WAY too fast. He's beginning phrases too early off the beat, and finishing too early far more than is artistic. This makes him clash with the music. That's why it sounds like he is getting a bit drowned. It is his own fault and that of his handlers. He has a very nice tonal voice though, perfect accent and really looks the part.

[@fletcherhc653]

Bravo!

[@VPIKH]

Where is love does it fall from skies a bove is it underneath the willow tree that I've been dreaming of where is she who i close my eyes to see will i ever know. And yea thats it for today

[@sussyboi69925]

Im sing this

[@robert-ef8qv]

Great voice young man , a very tough song to sing . ❤️👍🙏Great job .

[@allisonweber2229]

Absolute Christmas magic. This boy is a treasure.

[@dominicnael8155]

how

[@kellymcenroe8436]

the yunng man is grat

[@PercyH12]

I am oliver in a high school production of this Im just gomna mention this seems very fast and this boy's good voice is wasted

[@PJL7095]

Wow- you are absolutely correct! I’ve directed OLIVER! 14 times & after the 2nd production I always told the boy who plays Oliver that for this song HE controls the pace of the orchestra… not the other way around. Remember- Oliver is in a very meek position as he sings this. He’s been kicked out of the boys home, sold off to a funeral parlor by the Beadle & is now in its cellar wondering what’s next after being told ‘ya better like it cause it’s the only place you got’. So yes… Oliver is quite sad & rather pathetic at this stage & he’s surely not belting out ‘Where Is Love’ like he should be a member of the Westminster Boys Choir. Anyway, you are correct. Sing it slower and almost in a meek whispering voice… your sad damn it! Much success on your show

[@1Bruce93Wayne9]

Music too loud.

[@Sionnach1601]

It's because the boy was told to not stay in time, making him clash over and over with the orchestra. This is what makes it sound like he is being drowned by the orchestra. If he just stayed in time with them a bit more, he would sound supported, not drowned by them.

[@VPIKH]

I can sing it

[@zorisaurus]

Same!!!!

[@andreaheredia3263]

.

[@FokinRG]

Girl... He forgot the lyrics for the repeat...

[@isaacolson899]

how

[@battlecorner66]

I think that is a sort of conveying emotion technique, not something like forgetting lyrics.

[@MistyeyedNStarrified]

Forgot the lyrics? Are you an idiot?

[@matthewcrowe2284]

Wth he did not it was amazing

[@zorisaurus]

Im pretty sure he was suposed to say the words spaces out

[@canigetsometaewithsugaanda7224]

Last verse It wrong tho

[@Sionnach1601]

Was wondering if anyone else would notice a big obvious like this. Soooooooo many clapping seals here. 🙄

[@zoshi_1]

beautiful
