I Know Him So Well (Chess) - Tyce Green and Ryan McCartan

[@agnusborealis9362]

Bravo!!!!! Their voices complemented so well. I also recommend the duet of John Barrowman and Daniel Boys. Very powerful.

[@humminbird6990]

How about Juancho Gabriel and Giob Rodriguez

This was so beautifully done that it brought tears to my eyes. Bravi!

[@AJCalabria1]

Best male duo of this song I've ever heard. 🙂

[@GavinInns]

It just worked really well. Best male/male cover so far.....

[@dennisnolan5095]

This rendition of this song encapsulates my almost 36 years with the complicated love of my life. I miss him so well.

[@jadezee6316]

i miss him so well?....cut it out and BTW love is not complicated...only confusion is

[@dennisnolan5095]

@@jadezee6316 Confusion? My husband died.

Never thought this song would work as a male duet without becoming a cliché. You seemed to have felt the words, or just acted perfectly and made the song your own. Especially changing the melody bow towards the end and rise your voice. That was excellent. Truly beautiful.

[@gloriag1888]

There are great versions by John Barrowman in a duet , and Michael Ball 💕

[@ranma9823]

​@@gloriag1888Love that version!

[@tallguym4m]

Thank-you both so much for that! SO beautiful! I chuckled at some of the comments - ok, and a couple eye-rolls LOL I am not an expert on vocal technique, I simply know what moves me. And I have been :making the rounds" with different renditions. The first one I found - just recently - was John Barrowman and Daniel Boys. I had never heard this song. And now I am (not every day) fully into the I Know Him Well rabbit hole! LOL I am so grateful that we can hear different versions that are unique and wonderful! Thanks for adding YOURS! Take care guys - best wishes!! tg

[@1106gary]

Nailed it. You included the modulation on "falling apart" and did a better end note than the Barrowman /Boys version.

[@alexandersorretarevelar9813]

Can’t move on with the beauty of this rendition. Totally awesome! You are both gorgeous and I really love the song arrangement. I so love it! 🥰❤️🥰

[@suchisthismystery2814]

Subtlety of tone, expression, communication and beauty 👏👏👏 The best male version by a long shot ❤

[@terrymathurin5946]

It's the best performance of this song I've heard. Well done!

[@nadirpto]

[@kelcordeen8630]

Nothing is so good it last eternally Perfect situations must go wrong But this has never yet prevented me Wanting far too much for far too long Looking back I could have played it differently Won a few more moments Who can tell? But it took time to understand the man Now at least I know I know him well Wasn't it good? oh So good! Wasn't he fine? oh So fine! Isn't it madness He can't be mine? But in the end he needs a little bit more than me More security He needs his fantasy and freedom. I know him so well No one in your life is with you constantly No one is completely on your side And though I move my world to be with him Still the gap between us is too wide Looking back I could have played it differently Learned about the man before I fell But I was ever so much younger then Now at least I know I know him well Wasn't it good? oh So good! Wasn't he fine? oh So fine! Isn't it madness He won't be mine? Didn't I know how it would go if I knew from the start Why am I falling apart? Wasn't it good? Wasn't he fine? Isn't it madness He won't be mine But in the end he needs a little bit more than me More security... He needs his fantasy and freedom (I know him so well...) It took time to understand him. I know him so well...

[@patrickcolliano]

I appreciate your posting the lyrics, but you kind of messed up the second verse. Let me help here. Ryan: Looking back, I could have played things differently. Tyce: Looking back, I could I have played things some other way. Ryan: Learned about the man before I fell. Tyce: I was just a little careless, maybe. Ryan: But I was ever so much younger then. Tyce: Now at least I know him well. Ryan: Now at least Both: I know I know him well.

[@Jul006]

Flawless!

This is just great :)

[@doctablet847]

Sie singen sehr schön!

[@franzschweizer5592]

I was skeptical if this song would work as a male Duett but the both proved it 👍

[@alandynamite2012]

Very good job! I do think the one on the left did a bit too much "oversinging" (for lack of a better word), but the voices work well together and you guys nailed that high note!

[@rutha1464]

I believe this was Tim Rice's first opera after leaving Andrew Loyd Weber. It was a remarkable work of awesome music and an interesting work before the days we were taught to hate Russia. It (I believe) was always underrated because of devotion to Loyd Webber. Pity. Everyone should at very least listen to Chess at least once in life.

[@MsLakatos1]

❤❤❤❤

[@MarioDruet]

WOW

[@gugyjar]

Bravo! Beautiful & heartfelt rendition... ❤ So moving. Kinda wish you were a real life couple lol...

[@dclore]

The best version of this version of the song was done by John Barrowman and Daniel Boys 13 years ago! This isn't new people! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpLdYpp8pL-jasU

[@meisuicheong1721]

Good rendition..something different...heard before from well known female singers

[@rattana53rattanaburee9]

เริ่ด

[@Cechai]

That was class imagine Whitney and Mariah had done a version would have loved that x

[@Eoinmcpar]

You definitely are not Belfast

[@MrLourie]

Very nice, but it's not live.

[@humminbird6990]

I think this song is meant for men. Way better that the original singers.

[@chenrikkirnehc7007]

Ouch 🏳️‍🌈

[@eldiran2]

Lip-syncing or not? I can;t tell. It would seem they must be, but their mouths are right on every point, so....??

[@lewis83]

Gay just doesn't even cover it.

[@patrickcolliano]

I find myself wishing that Tyce took the first verse. Better voice and better technique. Ryan sounds like he doesn't even know the song and looks like he's in pain. And not the kind of emotional pain that's supposed to accompany this song. He looks like singing causes him physical agony. Don't get me wrong. Ryan isn't terrible. He's okay, in fact. Just not the equal of his duet partner. Just by watching this video, you can see that Tyce has by far the better singing technique.

[@corneels]

Oh please. 🙄

[@patrickcolliano]

@@corneels Oh, please, what? What, exactly, do you disagree with?

[@Tawroset]

@@patrickcolliano You sound kinda harsh. That's what he probably meant.

[@patrickcolliano]

@@Tawroset I don't mean to be, it's just that I notice certain flaws in Ryan's technique. He's clearly doing placement in his throat, not his head. For instance, look how he cranes his neck at 0:45 when he sings, ". . . prevented me." Essentially, when I watch him sing, it looks like he's trying to make it look like the song's more difficult than it actually is. Like he's trying to give people the impression that he's working so hard to get this song out. And it's really not a hard song at all. For example, look at the grotesque face he makes when he sings ". . . more security" at 1:40. Compare him to a singer like Clay Aiken, who always makes the hard notes look effortless. Ryan, by contrast, tries to make the easy stuff look demanding. Compare his performances to Tyce's. Granted, Tyce is also guilty of histrionic displays of effort, but nowhere near the extreme that Ryan is. For example, at 3:20, when they both hold the note on the word, "apart." Yes, they both make it look like work, but Tyce is singing the note that Ryan is wailing it. Which is strange, because Tyce is taking the higher part. Ryan looks like he's in physical pain. Like singing is sheer torture for him.
