The blurry blob in the video kind of makes him look like he escaped from an institution, or maybe even an old school dentist.
I didn't get a chance to watch all of the videos yet, but like everyone else I'm finding things that I enjoy and then things that are kind of pure cheese. Well, at least we have something to talk about until the Broadway State of Me and Larry shows!
I loved his costume, like I said before, only he could make a white tux and trainers look utterly stunning!

Super psyched that they apparently stuck to the OLC storyline, given that some of those clips are of Talking Chess.
Idina sounds awesome in those clips. They all do, actually. She's not Florence at all, but I find her pleasanter to listen to than Julia Murney (at least initially).
The sound seems fine in some of the videos that were obviously shot closer to the stage, but I wouldn't doubt that there were sound problems for those in the nosebleed seats.
Guys, I love that show so much. And Adam is so good as Freddie, and Groban at least sounds amazing as Anatoly. Kerry is great. I wish I could've seen the concert, but I'm loving the clips.

It's such a toss up with those two, for me, in judging them objectively. They're both a little out of control and screechy (which can be ear bleedingly awful, or strangely exciting depending on how you connect to a performer). I like Murney better for the role because she sounds a little more womanly, and Idina a little more girlish.
I do hope that Idina was a little better than some of her harshest reviews suggested, for whenever I get to hear a higher quality recording of her performance. It's at least much easier to buy two men desperately vying for her attention than it was for La Murn.
