They are both young, male actors on Broadway (well, Aaron is not on Broadway this season, but still). Aaron was fantastic in Catch Me... I haven't seen Jeremy in anything, but would like to. Who do you think is the better all around performer? And what about Jeremy Jordan getting a Tony nomination but Aaron Tveit didn't get one for either Next to Normal or Catch Me...

Aaron Tveit has the best voice I have ever heard in NYC in 20 years, but Jeremy Jordan beats him in the acting department, plain and simple.

Aaron Tveit is an attractive, serviceable performer with a good voice. Jeremy Jordan has a star quality that doesn't come around too often. Thought he was sensational in Newsies, and if I were a Tony voter, he'd get my vote.

Why can't they just both be appreciated for being great performers? Why must EVERYTHING be ranked?

Clearly Tveit didn't get those nominations in two other different seasons so that Jordan would get one this year.

I agree that they don't need to be compared. Just because they're two young, talented, good looking male performers doesn't mean they need to be scrutinized against one another.

I think they both are talented.

Both are formidable but Ethel Merman in her prime could take em both down.

I'd hit it with either of them. Let's put this baby to bed.

Both of them are 28-years-old. Not sure how much longer we can keep calling them twinks. They are quite studly though.

ljay, it all depends on your age and perspective.
I give AAron 2 years more and JJ 4.

If you are 18 you could call them Daddy.

Both are great performers with outstanding voices.

However, I would say Jordan is the more versatile of the two, having seen him play Drew, Tony, Clyde, and now Jack.

I would also say Jordan has more star quality, given how he elevates the material in Newsies and carries that show.

^ Wow, your view has changed a bit! Jordan is definitely immensely talented.

I am older than 18, and I reserve Daddy for 40+

I agree with the comments regarding JJ having star quality that Tveit lacks.

JJ may be "more" versatile but Aaron is also flexible.

Did you see him as James Franco's BF in HOWL!?
He was lovely.

Can't wait to see Aaron as Enjolras in the Les Mis movie (or as fans are calling him, "Aaronjolras") - girls on the internet/tumblr, etc. are salivating over him.

I think both are magnificent performers, but Aaron only seems to be good for the clean-cut all-American boy roles. Jeremy is a bit rougher around the edges and seems a little more versatile.
