I'm sorry, but I have to say the same thing about the guy who's singing for Peter, Matt Doyle I believe. Role of a Lifetime sounds horrible. It doesn't compare to Michael Arden at all. There something very flat about the way it sounds, and completely unemotional. His voice isn't that terrible, but the song just sounds like it emotionally and vocally falls flat. Not to mention there's something really weird about his phrasing and pronuncation. Too critical, maybe. The recording of Arden singing the song though is complete brillance though. They couldn't really expect to equal it anyway....

I disagree...SO whole heartedly.

I am a fan of the show from the LA production. Never liked Arden much because the way he sings annoys me a bit...

Role sounds amazing. I think Matt Doyle is wonderful. And hardly emotionally flat! He's sings less classically...(after all...it's a POP opera)...but I prefer his voice. He's a fantastic Peter.

First of all...i say don't judge anything based on a video clip...it's not the CD, it has not been mixed or finalized yet. You are only seeing one take of someone laying down a vocal track, who says it's the one that will appear on the CD?

First off, Matt Doyle sounds NOTHING like Michael Arden. I'm loving his voice from the clips so far but there are no similarities in their voices.

"It is funny that Matt Doyle does sound like M. Arden, maybe because it is the way that it's written and that anyone who sings the role will have that same sound, and maybe that is they way composers and producers wanted it..who knows but it does sound very much the same as Arden's!"

Actually, Damon is trying to get away from the sound and interpretation of Peter that Michael did and go back to something more similar to how John Torres played the character in LA. The songs aren't even in the same key Michael sang them in anymore.
