Lily's Eyes - Ramin Karimloo & Cheyenne Jackson - DGF Gala

[@fullmetalandtheflame438]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Especially when it comes to male duets. Just stunning, and Ramin and Cheyenne both do an incredible job. Love it 😍

[@jamesbidwell8947]

Both men have incredible voices and totally sing the HELL out of this song. Their voices compliment each others!

[@JIRH922]

“Imagine me a lover.” Okay Ramin. 😊

[@PrinceTrexus]

I love Ramin's voice so much! I loved him as phantom in Love Never Dies and I also love his song "The Neva Flows" from Anastasia

[@mikealdridge3868]

The entire Secret Garden soundtrack is incredible music. Gentle and complex, yet so easy to listen to. These two make this song sound effortless, which it isn't. Well done :)

[@Anne-xq6eg]

My favourite version is the Australian cast 1995 - Duet with Anthony Warlow & Phillip Quast.

[@thebrittschmitt]

Okay, so now Ramin and Hadley have both sung this song separately. Literally all I’m asking is one duet with the two of them. Please.

[@tiffanychan6742]

!!!!!!agree!!!!!!! Love both of them so much❤

[@LesleyWells-ic6up]

Apparently they recently did this in Trieste! Can be found on KZbin - Ramin & Hadley in Trieste.

[@thebrittschmitt]

@@LesleyWells-ic6up Oh my goodness bless you!!

[@LesleyWells-ic6up]

@thebrittschmitt It is s bootleg - but its there!

[@julietantonio1049]

Is anyone else happy that this collab happened and these guys are friends now?

[@isabeau5635]

GOD RAMIN IS WONDERFUL

[@LesleyLeslie]

I can't stop listening to this. I have never heard of Cheyenne Jackson, but isn't he good! Obviously I love Ramin.

[@jack_mtg1248]

Love it!! Damn that ending. Lovely song.

[@dianaaljadeff2983]

Two excellent young singers Cheyene Jackson and Ramin Karimloo

[@MariaAnn-w2t]

Beautiful. ❤😂

[@brandonlemmon]

Not sure there is a singer that makes singing look more effortless than Ramin.

[@bskov17]

Right?!?!?! Does he even open his mouth!! Love his voice!

[@Deebime]

Im crying

[@gilljames5013]

Ever heard of Pavarotti bro lol

[@twangkz]

Judy Kuhn. Watched her live and parts that I always thought were major belts, she looked like she was merely taking a breath!

[@elisabethnerolk2283]

you haven't listened to stephen Pasquale then! look him up!

[@ingridaguero6460]

Brava. Brava. Bravissimo

[@danielblakley3577]

Everything I hear this song I cry

[@lindathetford3776]

OMG I'M NOT EVEN BREATHING RN

[@jandnorton]

Best version imo. Emotion and singing

[@PrinceTrexus]

You can tell from his voice that Ramin has experience playing Phantom! I can’t remember which production it was (it was either Phantom or Love Never Dies I cant remember but I’m almost positive he’s played Phantom before)

[@thatkindofguy9346]

PrinceTrexus Yup he’s in the original production of Love never dies.

[@lindathetford3776]

He has and he was amazing

[@jordanwong9851]

He's played phantom in both of those! He was part of the original london cast of love never dies and the 25th anniversary version of phantom!

[@traciewoodward5614]

Ramin played phantom in both of the phantom of the opera and Love never dies stage shows and the 25th anniversary phantom

[@PrinceTrexus]

@bicth. lol has nothing to do with him being a baritone

[@ricoltmetric8156]

2 handsome men singing fine

[@Lili4Yah]

Bravo! 🌷

[@timsamanthony]

Cheyenne and Ramin 😍😍

[@victormeyers1860]

I don’t even know the context of this song but damn it’s beautiful

[@dreampsi2]

Lily is dead and was married to one brother. The other brother was secretly in love with her. "The girl" who has Lily's eyes is the niece who comes to live with them and when they see Lily in her eyes it reminds them of the Lily they lost.

[@victormeyers1860]

@@dreampsi2 I had gathered that, but I gotta watch it

[@bcnmanhattan5022]

@@dreampsi2 You must be a very nice person. Thanks

[@TheBeautifulDisaster]

Try playing this rendition at 1.25x if you find it too slow.

[@joshuagonzales395]

That poor conductor and violinist lol

[@jesusthroughmary]

Now you can choose 0.05 increments, so 1.10 or 1.15

[@PrinceTrexus]

Isn’t that the guy who played Hades in Descendants 3?

[@connorlcoopersings6714]

Yes!

[@jrlexjr]

R.I.P. Lucy Simon.

[@carliebuchanan4012]

I’ve always heard to open your mouth when you sing! He’s barely even moving his mouth. Is he damaging anything or doing anything wrong? Just wondering. They’re so good

[@wizendweaver]

Ramin.. Maybe it's the video quality but you have a look of Jordan Peterson about you. Very well sung guys!!

[@PrinceTrexus]

The guy with the glasses isn’t that the guy who’s playing Hades in Descendants 3? (Also he was in “Glee”)

[@TX1961]

It's Cheyenne Jackson.

[@howardfriedman8787]

I like both performers, but I don't like this version of the song. It's too slow and doesn't build. it's not as dramatic as it should be. When I saw this song performed in the show, it was thrilling.

[@howardfriedman8787]

@@susancastiglione8654 Wow. Really impressive. They both possess great voices. The Secret Garden bored me to tears when I saw it, but Lily's Eyes completely blew me away.

[@m-edesharnais5409]

I think it's because they just "sang" it here, and not "acted" it, like they did in the 25th anniversary concert. Where you can see Cheyenne being "envious and jealous of his brother's happiness", while Ramin was all like "I still cannot believe, even after all those years, that a lady like HER loved a man like me, and that I, me, got to be the one to make HER happy" in his acting, smiling, placing his hand on his heart, and almost shedding a tear!! THAT was something!! 🤩🤩

[@RBGoodfat]

Ramin’s noodle

[@keelathompson7884]

Try this version from the 25th Anniversary Concert.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/najTZJKZaKaqiM0

[@ElleCee62978]

Prefer Mandy’s version

[@bonebrain]

Same

[@juliak9771]

By the end the left was irrevocably lost himself in the voice of the right. Though the beginning was not bad.

[@zachwalraven]

Julia K That's because Ramin's voice is gigantic.

[@emeleel]

That's how the song should be sung... and Mandy sang it even broader and more richly. The original is magnificent!

[@zachwalraven]

The problem is Jaskson is a tenor singing Baritone, and the meat of his voice is in the upper register's. Someone like Norm Lewis singing his part would be a better casting choice, but they do a fine job notheless.

[@jack_mtg1248]

He sounded amazing?

[@thomasmneff]

I thought the balance was good enough for a gala performance. Jackson and Karimloo played Neville and Archie in the superb 25th anniversary staging at Lincoln Center in 2016. There’s no better team singing this iconic duet today! Let’s hope the Broadway revival meets the same standard.

[@Michael-tc8kw]

The orchestra is just awful. Especially the cymbals.

[@kmart3453]

Something about this performance seems off. Definitely not as good as the 25 anniversary performance

[@sarahharker8342]

älskling out of tune band and poor sound balance mainly.

[@joshuagonzales395]

Ummmmmmm the temp and notes values?!? The orchestra will only follow YOU so yeah….. lol

[@PatrickTheWriter]

Cheyenne, learn the lyrics.

[@senorgato70]

This felt uncomfortable. The vocals were good but neither performer seemed to care about the other.

[@Annicamd]

Watch these two in the 25th Anniverary Performance of this song. It's much better

[@pjk9056]

In the show the two characters are singing separately and unaware of each other. The widowed husband has no idea that his brother was also in love with Lily. If they could hear each other that secret would be revealed. Even though it’s a duet, each is oblivious to the other.

[@itsdayzed6901]

Does the guy on the right know how to open his mouth

[@SongRainbows]

Ramin has stated that he doesn’t like open-faced singing and doesn’t use it. Sure has paid off with the amount of success he’s achieved

[@johnjungkook2721]

Why does he have to open his mouth? He sounds great without it.

[@xxKakarot]

@@SongRainbows do you know where he has said that? I keep reading this in comments but havent come across any video or article yet where he confirms it, I really wanna watch/read it :)

[@ECCSASEGUROS]

Que aburrimiento en la ejecución. Terrible. Muy bajo. Deberían escuchar a Warlow. Estos dos NO ENTIENDEN lo que cantan aunque canten increíblemente bien.
