so, people, the broadway cast isnt SUPPOSED to sound like Billie Joe, this is a different version of the songs. Some of the lyrics for some of the songs are different too. So stop complaining how "it doesnt sound like billie" or how "the original is better" they are both great versions and show green day some respect.

Jonas Wendin I'm pretty sure any band is going to like their music getting put into a musical, Queen liked We Will Rock You and that musical is shit, the actors don't sound good, they sound whiney and they're better in other things

True, but in this case Billie Joe actually said “We should have done it like that” in regards to a couple of the songs
@sephiroth8793214 жыл бұрын
they arent off key, it's just how their voices are resonated, it sounds kind of nasally but this is rock and it is how they interpreted their parts. IT's mostly about them telling the story.

To all the haters: Billie Joe made this. He loves it. He’s proud of it. He and all the actors did an amazing job! Both versions of holiday are amazing! They didn’t ruin the song holiday. They put their own twist on it.

@adarrling12 жыл бұрын
I think the reason that I adore this show as much as I do is that I was never an actual Green Day fan. Listening to the Cast album was like listening to a brand new release for me, as opposed to an album of covers. So when people tell me it's 'just Green Day', I'm never sure what to say. Because it isn't 'just Green Day' for me. These songs have found a special place in my heart, and this musical has become my absolute favorite.

Gotta love hearing Broadway trained singers who are tenors and baritones used to handling showtunes attempt something like this. They're not bad singers it's just not right. Holiday is not a Broadway score, and isn't meant to be, and vocally it's miles different. I was trained in showtunes and opera but I can't handle a pop score to save my life. It's a tough hybrid to make.

Theo Stockman is the love of my life. Minus the fact that...you know...he doesn't quite know about it yet. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. c : Anyway, I have to point out that there is such a thing, although i'm sure it's a foreign concept to some people, and it's called...follow me here....acting. Weird, right? That someone who went to Tish at NYU can act? Unheard of! So, this cast is amazing, this show is amazing, this VIDEO is amazing. I love it all.

Ive seen this show twice. The singers are amazing, whoever says they are not doesn't know anything. I saw John Ghallager as Jonny once, and Van Hughes the other time, they're almost identical. Stark sands and michael esper are also amazing singers. Rebecca steals the show though. ALSO, I know for a fact John Ghallager and Stark sands are straight, Tony vincent is married to Aspen vincent ( she is also in the cast). Learn a thing or two about theatre before you hate on it.

@vocalistaneway Have you read how they started writing their american idiot album? they had the intention to put it on stage even back then. it was originally gonna be another album called "cigarettes and valentines" but the master tracks got stolen so they started over, and they started writing the suite songs "Jesus of suburbia" and homecoming. plus what's wrong with wanting to make some money? it's a good album with a good message, at least they write their own songs,

If you find a video of them singing this song in their own theatre or on the soundtrack, you'll find these guys can actually sing AMAZING. It's probably the fault of the sound system in this small studio so the actors can't hear themselves as well and sing slightly off. I'm not making excuses for them, because vocally this isn't that good, but I wouldn't judge them on one small studio performance.

@vocalistaneway i did think it was odd at first, mostly because i never thought it was that kind of theatrical album in the first place, i didn't pay that close attention, i mean i liked it all anyway though. is it just because you don't like the show? have u ever seen it? i haven't but it looks OK to me.

@zitalee2 I'm completly sure about it... But It isn't only money, but the exposition too... When you listen to the Foxboro Hot Tub's songs, when you watch their shows, you understand what Green Day really is... This Broadway version of Green Day is just business.

And if you have seen it and this is your opinion, then its your opinion and theres no need to argue over it because it won't change how you look at this show.

@zitalee2 Well I can answer to you. A big deal is to paint your eyes when this is a popular style. A big deal is to have bangs when this is fashion. A big deal is to talk about war when this is happening. Have you ever heard the saying "Mixing the useful with agreeable". This is Green Day now... But no problem, is marketing. The problem is when they transfer Green Day to Broadway. This is "mixing the useful with useful".

Not only waz it a great show, but seeing billy joe and taking pics with him waz a bonus. i'd suggest you see the show b4 hating on it.
