Comments on: James (Wesley) singing “Maria” in 1993! http://sethrudetsky.com/blog/2009/02/22/james-wesley-singing-maria-in-1993/ Seth's Sassy Broadway Blog Wed, 22 May 2013 20:49:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Cheryl http://sethrudetsky.com/blog/2009/02/22/james-wesley-singing-maria-in-1993/#comment-834 Cheryl Tue, 25 Jan 2011 08:01:41 +0000 http://sethrudetsky.com/blog/?p=438#comment-834 I'm just catching up on all the past Seth online videos to help me settle down since I've had devastating news about 2 friends illnesses recently and needed to cheer up before trying to sleep (and Seth's deconstructions really help!), and this one is so beautiful! I think this version of Maria is better and more beautifully sung than the one from the most recent B'way cast that I hear on SeriusXm On Broadway. So there.

I laughed out LOUD at the beginning, you're so incredibly right about the background vocals. And about him sounding fabulous for the rest of the song. AHAHA!

"Whatever with Miss Thang over there getting the role of Tony. I can totally out-sing him. Oh, my cue is coming up..." *sung (if that's what you can call it)* "MARIA..." <-- Epic fail. Kudos to James on his rendition here! In my head, I picture this entire scene with a one of those background vocalists being catty as James sings.

This is one of the loveliest songs ever and James did a super job. He should do a cabaret act or something, seriously. Snaps for James and CUT on those background dudes. Gah.
