a pop star singing a classic song from a classic musical, normally i would hate him for doing it, but he does it so damn well

I saw Gareth Gates perform as Marius when I went to see Les Mis and he was amazing. I was surprised by how good he was, as someone who had only ever really known Michael Ball's incredible version.

anyone else actually think gareth is better now as musical star that a pop star? everyone now seems to refer to him as gareth who was in "les mis" or "joseph" - and i congratulate him for that! :D

Great performance. He's probably my 2nd favorite Marius of all time. Second only to Michael Ball himself, who will always be no.1 in my opinion.

Yes, wish Gareth had been tagged for the 25th Anniversary O2 event. Nick was too weak for such a celebration. And thanks to the person who pointed out that Michael Ball is NOT a classically trained singer...he taught himself to sing, and he sings like an angel. I've read so many comments on so many video posts that say over and over again that Michael is more operatic, better trained, older...really, no! Listen to him on the original cast recording at about age 22. He is a natural for theatre.

Lovely to see Gareth evolve from Pop Star to Musical Theatre Star. Not everyone can make the transition so successfully but he has done it. Cameron Mackintosh, Andrew Lloyd Webber and other big names in Musical Theatre (including Michael Ball!) speak of him in glowing terms - and rightly so.

I saw Gareth in Les Mis in Southampton and thought he was great. As a Will Young fan I didn't like his voice as a pop singer but I think he has matured well and his voice has much more range and is excellent. His acting skills are much better too. Well done Gareth.

I went to see him in this and he is excellent. I had no idea he was in it as it was a last minute thing when we booked and was shocked by the voice. I think he is so much better doing this then pop x

The best Marius after Michael Ball! I've seen him as Marius in Barbican Centre, really impressive different from Michael in some ways but I like the difference! Michael was so cute here :)

@hotqueekboi Marius is supposed to be 23-24 years old. Michael was 23 when he originated the role. It's not Michael's fault that they haven't been able to find actors to play Marius as strong as he(and the others that played the role in the beginning) did. And just so you know: Michael doesn't have a trained voice - he never studied singing or had voice lessons. (except once in 2004 before playing Jean Valjean)

I cant believe they have Nick Jonas playing Marius at the 25th Concerts at the O2. I saw Gareth in Edinburgh on the tour, and he was amazing. Having watched clips of Nick singing this, there is no comparison...Nick being so mediocre!!!! Ah well, Im sure I will enjoy the concert regardless.
@mattg1774 жыл бұрын
What is it with the role of Marius and the over the top vibrato that comes with it. I mean is it simply because Michael Ball played the role and it's expected?
@MajorAlenko13 жыл бұрын
why wasnt Gareth Marius for the 02 Concert? He's like 10 times better than Nick.
@jpg090114 жыл бұрын
@seaviewsteve I think Gareth probably had other things to do, so we got stuck with Nick...I do wish Gareth would've done it, but it is what it is...you can tell Gareth was nervous though the way he was moving around...I mean when I get nervous in a performance, I just move around like an action figure the whole time and I can never keep my eyes on the same spot...

I think he over-emotes a tiny bit, but he's a great singer and a great Marius. Would have pwned Nick Jonas at the O2.

okay watch this, then watch the annoying nick jonas in the O2 25th anniversary. you cant even compare them. its OBVIOUS gareth gates is miles better than nick jonas. he would've been a much better choice for the O2 marius! or any other proper musical theatre actor (not nick who just stood there with the same expression all throughout the show, and attempted to sing but didnt sound too good).

I like it, but I feel like he takes the depth out of the song. I realize it isn't in context, but still...I don't feel the emotion behind it.

Gareth has a better sounding voice than all the other pretentious male singers that have been in this show.Closet bumboy Ball,has a dreadful vibrato,the others always sound laboured and very West End,they would all do themselves a favour and learn to sing in their natural voices,and not listening to puffs in music schools!
