Deconstructs "I Turned the Corner/Gimme Gimme" from Thoroughly Modern Millie

[@chels0yeah]

Wow, I usually revisit this video at least every other month but it’s hard to describe what it means to be listening to this today. RIP.

[@maggiefawcett5731]

One of the best musical theatre voices of our time. Rest in peace, Gavin. 🤍

[@andiehuman]

Re-watching in memory of this legend - rest in peace, Gavin ❤

Your commentary was out of this world in this video. "Angry" "Listening to madonna next to you..." "You sound like a Broadway Singer. You mean good?" Thank you so much for teaching me about music and keeping me entertained at the same time. You are Awesome.

[@goforthjr]

I am so validated by your mention of Gavin Creel's high note! For years I've wanted to scream, People! You don't understand how fantastic this guy sounds! I think he's my favorite Broadway voice. Side note: once I couldn't get in to the audition for the road company of Hair cause I didn't have enough hair. Now I hear in Gavin's production, they all wore wigs!

[@ErinLovegood]

"Yo, Dog, you sound like a Broadway singer....Oh you mean good?!" Seth Rudetsky, you just made my day! I love you, man. :D

[@kayteejay122]

I could listen to Gavin's voice all day

[@SongbirdAlom]

Creel's voice is like a bowl of creamy french vanilla gelato. I know that sounds wacky but i don't know how else to describe it.

[@jimjimmyjames59]

"................................vocally!" LOLOL

[@katelyndietz]

im speechless. you've literally addressed every favorite moment I have in this song. Like, can I just be your assistant, Seth Rudetsky? You're brilliant.

[@ernlwjr2]

I so enjoy these lectures/deconstruction! Informative and so funny!!! "Tony!"

[@AvalonMorley]

I was indeed obsessed w both these songs on first hearing thm, especially the delicacy of the orchestration on "I Turned the Corner"; tht song smetimes cn mke me tear up, jst listening to it, & Gavin is sublime. Seeing the 1st natl. tour at its official opening, in Dallas (they did a few perf.s in...St. Louis?--1 of thse giant outdoor venues, but tht ws cnsidered previews--don't ask me why), & 3 more times, I adored it, especially the Millie, Darcie Roberts--grand talent & star quality.

[@davidsanders2238]

"My obsession definitely lies with the ladies...vocally" Holy cow it's been a long time since I've laughed that hard

[@phantomvideowatcher]

Great deconstruction. It makes me love my fav song on the soundtrack even more. Thanks for pointing out details I never noticed even after hearing it dozens and dozens of times.

[@olamroz2802]

Sutton's rendition of 'gimme gimme' is flawless, although there's a version on yt where she sings it on the rosie o'donnel show (looong time ago;p) and for me it's so much better, more emotional and intense, than official cast recording

[@livelaughlove0209]

oh yes the amount of times ive listened to that

[@singwisevocals]

Her Rosie O'Donnell show performance is my favourite, too! I've listened to it over and over again.

[@dominiquewong4706]

I love her newest rendition which she makes a special sound for the word "Juliet". I think it is in 2018

[@elithewholeshebang]

SAME I've listened to it an unbelievable amount of times😂😂 imagining I was her 😂

[@heatheryuan8437]

Now you pointing those out...and i listen to the songs again..i hear the details!! woow that is amazing!! :D

[@ashareeoo]

Who DOESNT crush on Gavin's vocals though? 😂🙌🏻💖

[@ancyktube]

Who doesn't have a crush on Gavin period let's be real 😍😍

[@theofano_galani]

@@ancyktube honestly ❤️

[@aliciareisinger3103]

I love you, Seth! Thanks for loving music and sharing that love with us!

[@ez88uc]

OMG.... "TONY"... leaves the set. I died. Brilliant Seth!

[@cassieburt7025]

CAN RELATE TO THESE. I already do this ALL THE TIME but these help keep my ear up!

[@hardybar1]

Seth, I'm obsessed with you!

[@amykathleen2005]

Please I need more of these!!!!

[@Strebor513]

fantastic video and some great insight! When I first heard Gimme Gimme I was also amazed by the violins at the end (among many other things). Another great instrumental phrase are the saxophones during Sutton's final "Gimme gimme that thing called..."

[@stepawayful]

"Tony". God you are a treasure Seth.

[@RazzleMdazzleM]

Thank you for finally calling ALW out for his evil vowels on high notes!

[@valleyguy1123]

TONY! Brava! *walks off* still got it! xD

[@Aprilhojazz]

I think his break at Strager Than is also because he is linking the next phrase in one smooth breath. Love your commentary!

[@Blendre]

Seth is hilarious!

[@fureyize]

I could hear you talk about Sutton Foster for hours.

[@MichaelMin65]

Amazing

[@Stateoftention]

jealous of his voice

[@SarahSchreck]

I absolutely adored this video!! Though, I'm so curious as to how Sutton throated that "Gimme fat boy's [famous arrow]" part. I want to attempt it so badly, but every time I try it out, I squeak uncontrollably and feel like I'm really hurting my chords. :/ Guess I should leave the intricacies to the professionals, haha!

[@theoperatripleaxel5417]

Is like whistle register, majority born with it (A good Growlling), Beyonce and Elza Soares are great at it.

[@Poet2916]

I think Gavin Creel could have made a wonderful Henry in Next to Normal. :D

[@Bestofthebestforever]

Genius!

[@mckenzieprice2270]

6:20 Gavin’s been taking elocution lessons from Stewie Griffin.

[@HELLnSPIDERS]

I LOVE/totally agree about the E vowel! HATED IT during Hairspray - "Baltimore and MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE(I hate my life)EEEEEEEE(why god why????)EEEEEEE(ugh is it over this? can't sound good to anyone)EEEEEEEE! *and pose smile with confidence and pretend like it didn't happen* (account hacked by this users loving wife!)

[@sephyr2006]

I hate high notes on an -e lol!! He sounds great though!! a great vocal model!

[@lyndes33]

1) E vowels are hard to hit and make them sound good. No one wants to hear an EEEEEE!!!!! 2) I'm pretty sure Kudisch also goes up to the A. At least a lovely baritone voice is on the A along with Gavin's. It's hard to hear Gavin over it.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

💜

[@sherilynn]

...vocally (still laughing 💗)

[@TheIntuitiveActress]

Who is the male voice he's deconstructing?

[@CDawg]

+The Intuitive Actress I believe that is Gavin Creel.

[@TheIntuitiveActress]

Thanks!

[@astrowiz3544]

He said it, like, thrice

[@glucoseguardian6033]

No. I swear to god Gavin Creel was in Fame as Nick Piazza

[@johnnyconker1176]

He was, he did the North American tour, in 1998☺️

[@turkeypopcorn]

As much as i love this, i find that singing the E vowel is the easiest as it engages more of the head register. Other than that i love all these videos.

[@theminutepast]

Advertisements suck.
