[@szastannn9371]

[@chaotiical]

They skipped it

[@lyricals7272]

1. Dan Domenech ( That riff was PERFECT ) 2. Ryan McCartan ( Do I even have to explain the reason? ) 3. Thomas Sanders ( He lowered the key but still amazing )

[@IzzyRoseDoesArt]

I mean, JD's a high tenor, and Thomas is a bass, so it's still super impressive how high he hit!

[@ca1lmekitty360]

Agreed

[@ntellaS2]

I agree

[@adrianapekepolina]

[@MR-tf8lh]

Wait what Ryan and Dan are different people??? Wtfff when i saw a bootleg of it i thought Dan was Ryan ;-----;

[@Angelica-gb7ii]

where did you get the professionally filmed footage of ryan *_W H E R E_*

[@kyleemeier7438]

the heathers youtube channel has a video of clips of HD footage from a few songs but the full song isn't posted anywhere as far as I'm concerned

[@totheskies]

It was a short clip of each Heathers songs that was put together in a video on Heathers The Musical's official channel. it's not really what you're expecting it is though.

[@farts263]

Is there... A full... Slime... tutorial?

[@lauriemcpartlin4632]

Ryan McCartan killed it. It is very had to follow the first person who started the role. Jeremy Jordan is a legend so he was awesome.

[@abritisticofficial4891]

Wait but Ryan is the original. Sorry if I got anything wrong but-

[@wren5583]

Abritistic Official that’s why they said “it is very hard to follow the first person who started the role”.

[@anastasiabyheart]

Actually Jeremy is technically the original

[@SE0LARZZ]

erin_ NSU19 how so?

[@anastasiabyheart]

e v a Jeremy was JD in the concert reading in 2010 and in the six track demos in 2009

[@thevanquisher1519]

I honestly prefer Dan because he makes it like an actual person. He also has lots of emotion. Next, Ryan because he does it great, and has the psycho part down, but he's more of a character than a person. The others are acceptable, but Dan and Ryan are my favorites.

[@c0dasaurus]

Idk where the others are from but Dan and Ryan are the actual actors (Dan is understudy) in either broadway or west end can’t remember

[@dysphanic_redshift]

[@misssupercookie2011]

Dan: hold my slushie I'll show y'all how it's done

[@bethany7426]

While I’m disappointed that Thomas didn’t get all the way up there, I appreciate that he knows his limits and when to take an alternate melody unlike some of these other dudes... But also Dan slays my existence every time.

[@arkarts2987]

Agreed. Danny Boi be the best.

[@checkm8964]

Its so impressive what Thomas did with JD, a High Tenor character, when Thomas is a bass. It’s incredible how high he can actually hit

[@elliott2223]

I really Thomas doing this cause I just like how he sings it AND DAN

[@hikawagetsbitches]

Thomas is always the best in my eyes!❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤

[@anothanks8730]

Dan Domenech Always Dan Domenech Not even just the “don’t open a vein” part. It’s just so colorful the way he sings up to that point. Plus his production was the first I saw and I’m just in love.

[@TeshiMeshi]

he plays jd so naturally imo. i know its musical theater but he doesnt seem so...cheesy to me haha I love him as JD

Dan Domenech. Always Dan Domenech. The pain and the emotion in his voice. Just. Just Dan Domenech. Like everyone doing it the same and he’s like nah, I’m gonna hit the high note over here. I can’t even, I’m fangirling so hard. Dan Domenech. (also Thomas Sanders because he’s freaking Thomas Sanders what else should I say tf)

[@lei.7970]

That one Hamilfan that needs Hamilton to breath :v FUCK YES I LOVE DAN 😭💕

Finally someone who said it. Dan fucking killed it. And in the starts, he had the best ending of phrases

[@sassyassassin185]

True dan is Amazing

[@BloodyRainbowOtaku]

THANK YOU. I also love how Barrett is just eating snacks while Dan is bearing his soul. Those two are both my favorite Veronica and JD

[@jackskellington4198]

Lol agreed. I liked Dan's because he hit the high notes super well and for Thomas Sanders, his was super unique and smooth. Also, I love Thomas as well so of course he's going to be one of my favs lol ☺

[@ultravioletgirl123]

1.) Ryan McCartan (he’s just the perfect JD imo) 2.) Dan Domeneck (that high note was goals!) 3.) Jamie Muscato (just really solid all around) 4.) Zachariah Sterner (loved the emotion, you could really feel his pain) 5.) Thomas Sanders (that alternative riff he did was beautiful!)

[@kyliesmith7519]

Why is nobody talking about Zachariah? He was an absoulutley brilliant JD with an amazing voice. Definitely deserves more credit because he fit that role so well.

[@solentsquared6719]

The pictures taken of him in costume sell it, I don’t doubt his incredible acting for a SECOND but I would commit a murder to see a boot of his performance

[@mo18nelson59]

My favs: Ryan McCartan (because you can’t go wrong with the original), Jeremy Jordan (because he is literally one of my favorite people ever), Thomas Sanders (because Thomas...is there anything more needed to be said), and Zachariah Sterner (because his production was the first I found and I fell in love immediately) Edit: one year later and I didn't realize this comment blew up wow thanks guys!! Also I must now add Jamie Muscato to my list as I found a bootleg of the West End Heathers and let me tell you I had chills going through my entire body when he sang the Freeze Your Brain climax. This video did not do him justice at all.

[@randomspaghettibowl8374]

Morgan Nelson agreed

Same but I don't like Ryan McCartan because of what Dove said....

[@jdanimations4368]

Lol same

[@voicemail727]

Sometimes they can go wrong with the original... I mean, look at Sierra Boggess being one of the worst Stage Ariels

[@Nina-no8qj]

Honestly my favorite is Jamie Muscato. He added a lot of character to it AND hit the note perfectly

[@cameronmyers9242]

and his "Meant to be Yours" was the best

[@cameronmyers9242]

Papyrus he does kind of sound like goofy. But his meant to be yours as the most emotion. And you may have a different opinion

[@kvh7864]

@Papyrus idk I liked his ‘yee haw-ness’ I loved it when he said “ Las Vegas to Boston” but anyway I think I might be biased because he’s my fave 😅😅

[@morganmarsh1276]

yeah i love that his voice has a little roughness but it doesn’t stop him from hitting those notes. some of these guys’ voices were just too sweet. strong and hit the notes and everything they just didn’t have the same rasp i always though JD would have.

[@Jaasondean]

@@papyrus8983his 'yee haw' is a bunch of accents he put on to show how often jd moves around, he's 100% my favourite jd and the accent adds to much character in my opinion

[@kyliesmith7519]

Zachariah Sterner's Heathers production was the first one I watched and I still think he was such a brilliant JD. He perfectly captured the charming but still psychotic charcter that JD is and really was just perfect for the role. Anyone else agree?

[@slayinh6094]

3:33 did not do a good job u a lie

[@libbyw5942]

Personally (coming from someone who has no idea about the technicalities of singing) I believe that Dan had the best vocal approach but nobody really captures JD’s personality like Ryan. The way he sang made him look and feel like a psycho haha. Everyone was amazing vocally but a lot of them forgot that they had to play a character while singing and Ryan just does such a good job of representing JD’s unstableness from the way he never blinks / never breaks eye contact but still moves his head. It’s very well done.

[@peachy8390]

*MY OPINIONS* Ryan - beautiful, lovely 8/10 Cale - the last riff on “vein” was a tiny bit out of time I think, but still sooo good - also nice vibrato! 7/10 Stephen - I like the little push and squeak on the last riff 8/10 Jonathan - breathless but obviously I can understand that 8/10 Wendell - a lot of character, the start of the riff was strained but the end was good 7/10 Sebastian - less character but technically good 6/10 Dave - good breath control but he is standing still so 7/10 Ben - good character but some notes were not so good 6/10 Nathan - very good loved it so much! 8/10 Jamie - the JD I saw so maybe I’m biased, but I liked the push behind his notes 9/10 Michael - so so good and smooth, would give it 10 but he’s not dancing or anything so that would be unfair 9/10 Kamyar - his vowel on “vein” sounds weird and it’s very fast but I liked it 7/10 Ryan - good but not like standout 7/10 Tyler - I loved this and I don’t know why 10/10 Travis - his vowels sound weird to me and he’s straining but I like the voice crack 6/10 Mikey - I love the riff at the end!! 8/10 Jeremy - dodged the last riff but it’s actually really good 9/10 Thomas - the riff is interesting and I’m a big fan of the voice crack 10/10 Charlie - i like his voice haha 8/10 Chet - powerful! liked it 8/10 Ian - it’s technically good but it’s not sticking in my brain 7/10 Scott - so so lovely but he’s not moving so I can’t give him 10 8/10 Dan - MY FAVOURITE I love the riff so good and original and he’s just got such a lovely voice that I’m in love with 10/10 Zachariah - characterful, I like it and the little slides and voice cracks he adds in 9/10 All these singers are so so talented, so if my scores seem low it’s because I’m comparing them to each other and not just in general (if I was doing it generally I’d be forced to give them all 9s and 10s)

[@hyper-revenge-sio]

Ryan's got a special place in my heart, but Dan's notes are my absolute favorite

[@natalietyson1031]

I feel like JD is just so hard to cast because he needs to have like a really rough bass voice but then also have the ability to hit a tenor note and I think so many people just cast tenors and make freeze your brain a ‘pretty’ song even when it’s supposed to be more rough. In my opinion I’d rather people change the notes so they are lower than cast a tenor as JD but that’s just my personal preference

[@rik10463]

I have never heard/seen a bass voice play JD. JD was never written for a bass voice, but more of a rock tenor, hence the casting choices. ;)

[@ThatWeirdo04]

Yeah, no, JD is straight up tenor. Having a "rough" voice doesn't make you a bass.

[@marqjk1478]

What? Since when? Where are these bass notes lmao

[@emillee-raine]

Thomas the one in the vid is actually a bass. Mainly saying that because one you guys pointed you never heard a bass sing the song or something like that

[@merrickbaskie7941]

Super surprised Jeremy Jordan didn't go for that not considering how high and powerful his belts are.

[@sweatpants22]

Merrick Baskie It probably didn’t evolve into what it was until the actual show. Jeremy’s version was from a concert in 2010. Kind off like how that concert version of Candy Store was really weak compared to the production

[@merrickbaskie7941]

breastfeeded ah ok that makes more sense.

[@shadysadie8589]

Merrick Baskie that was the workshop tho so maybe that’s how it was originally written and Ryan’s the one that changed it

[@valeriedecadbury2978]

I love that this channel doesn’t actually pick a winner. Most “Who sang it best videos” make it a competition and then pretty much say a bunch of them are shit. Sometimes I just want me a compilation. also wendell scherer was amazing. so was Ryan McCartan. same with Dave Thomas Brown. this was a horrible recording of Jamie Muscato, but he is SOOOO GOOD. He’s my favourite JD ever And so beautiful. If I wasn’t gay before I found him, he would have been my Gay Awakening. Ryan Glander was kinda cute. Tyler Fernandez was good. Smiley Marmann was really good, but he looked a little old..... JEREMY JORDAN WAS AMAZING I LOVE HIM. Thomas Sanders was fantastically beautifully amazing as per usual. Charlie Meredith was absolutely beautiful.

[@imnotacat3798]

Ryan: Had the rock-edginess that made him the original Cale: Awesome vocals, but man he should work on his audience-facing movement Stephen: I like the contrast between Roughness and smoothness that he brings but I think he just sounds too mature Johnathan: Not a fan of the choppy diction but the big note was worth it Wendell: He was really taking it a little far with the ad-libs, but I like how he blends his stage charisma with the dark side of JD Sebastian: Lowered it half a step, but the F# sounded well placed and the run after was well executed but man, only having a piano to back sucks Dave: I like how bright his voice sounds but the top note did sound a little whiny and tense Ben: Strikes me as a little inexperienced, but he placed the note pretty well Nathan: Liking the vibrato after, but the top note Just felt a little... Faded? Jamie: Awesome! Effortless placement and awesome growl, and blends the characters anger and vulnerability perfectly. Michael: A little Nasal at the start, but the note came out very good, great vibrato Kamyar: Is the band going too fast or is it him? Every part aside from the big note was great, it just sounded quite tense Other Ryan: Like how he acts the brain-freeze, and the vocal was awesome too, but I guess it felt a bit... Innocent? Tyler: Big note was good, could tone down a little on the vibrato on the other parts Travis: Wish I could say I liked it but man, it just sounded really nasal and uncomfortable Mikey: That was a smooth riff up to Tenor C! Probably my favorite vocal but I got the impression he's just a little-mature sounding for my taste Jeremy: THERE HE IS. So I guess it didn't have a G belt originally, and the run was smooth as butter Thomas: Started off kinda nasaly, really loved the creative swing he had at the climax and it was run expertly. Charlie: Not really feeling this one, sounds kinda whiny and sharp. Wish I could say I liked it but ehhh Chet: Just a little flat, but everything else was fine Ian: Needs to practise singing with his hands in his pockets! Pretty good vocal though Scott: Loud, that's the word. Dan: Great vocal, no idea why he's just stood there neutrally though Zachariah: Tempo is a little underwhelming, vocal was smooth as butter though!

[@antheiheiant]

I agree, but you didn't do Dan justice. This riff was everything and his vocals were together with Jamies by far the best! Also that's a live clip from the show, standing there is literally in the choreography!

[@cascharles3838]

Honestly after listening to the West End cast recording no JD will ever beat Jamie Muscato for me. He manages to make JD pretty awkward and socially inept (as opposed to the charming psychopath you sometimes get) but that only makes him more terrifying in songs like Meant to be Mine - and I’m not exaggerating when I say terrifying, the only way I can describe his voice at some points is a roar - because he switches back and forth so quickly between vulnerable and dangerous, and I honestly think this makes him the most realistic JD as well. I can think of real people I know like this, and that is terrifying

I really liked Stephen, Dave, Ben, Nathan, Travis, Jonathan (proud to have done the show with him!), Mikey, Dan (always liked him better than Ryan), and Zachariah. But the two that really stood out to me were Wendell (his voice may have cracked but man he's got so much power in his voice) and Michael.
