Interesting. The songs are billed as "live in concert" but, the concert hasn't happened yet, and they have the recordings. How's that???
John did a better job than I expected. I don't like his falsetto at the end: too wimpy for that dramatic part of the song. But, he does throw himself into the interpretation.
As for Brandon, his voice sounds similar to others I have heard do the role. Slightly rough and unrefined. Adam would have sounded very different from that. Maybe too refined? Brandon does not have the depth and roundness and power that I would like to hear in the part.... while Adam has it in spades. But, Brandon acquits himself well.
Other than it being the "John Legend Show" it may not suck. But, I don't think I will watch it anyway. Bitter grapes.
I've decided that I will watch the show tomorrow. I want to be able to talk about it with first-hand knowledge. Also, some of family members will be watching it, so I want to be in the loop.
And yes, it is definitely The John Legend Show. My morning Chicago Tribune had an interview with him, and he said (paraphrase), "Oh no, I'm not even thinking that I'll get an Emmy for this. But (quote) " I am aware of the gap in my EGOT." He wants that Emmy so bad. And I totally agree that his voice is not the type of voice for a show like this. His voice is well-suited to other things, but not a show like this with "big-voice" songs. He just doesn't have it.
