No one wanted to do the key change in rehearsals, so Ken Caswel pick me, that’s how I ended up with this segment. Have to to say, I’m astonished at how many people commented of how good it was, as all the Valjeans were fabulous Karen. Thank you for the uplifting compliment. Jeff.

@@JeffLeyton is there a particular reason why everyone would be reluctant to do the key change? I personally find it to be the most dramatic and impactful part of the piece

@@JeffLeyton Sooo sweet of you to reply, thank you! And I’m so thrilled your key change got in there, it really takes the rest of the piece to a whole new level. Everyone definitely brought their A-game.🥰

I do not remember how many times I replayed this 17 international Jean Valjeans video on KZbin. You were absolutely the best singer among them. Great job!

To be fair, the song just gets really dramatic towards the end. You cant sing a line like this in the beginning of the song. Jeff is also clearly my favourite in this, he does amazing, but we cant compare that to the others, since nobody sings the same line. This particular line is very powerful, much more than the others. I like Austria and then everyone from Norway on, just because the song gets more exciting. I really also think the USA guy is doing amazing.

Hello, Mr. Layton. I rarely comment on KZbin. As a 24-year old lady, I was never into theater until I heard Lea Salonga's voice and yours. I studied how to sing for so many years and even though my vocation was in something else, everytime I hear your voice (in this video in particular), I know you are the voice of tenor. Whenever someone asks me what a tenor sounds like, I always tell people to search Jeff Layton on KZbin as Jean Valjean. You, sir, is a one of a kind talent. I wish that somehow I can see you sing in person, but for now I am admiring your amazing vocals on the videos you share. If someone sang to me like that, I will definitely join with you on your crusade - no questions asked. Long live, Mr. Leyton! From your filipina fan. ❤
