It's always "Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" and "Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"."

That's how "Loving You" is written.

But, in general, vocal instructors, who are often rooted in classical technique, like to hear the vowels.

Long, but that was with Esparza as host.

The only performance that I feel lukewarm so far about is Aaron’s. He could sing, but it seems that either he doesn’t have the acting chops this song requires or he didn’t have enough time to connect to the song and bring out the layers.

It seemed so much a note for note reproduction of Raul.

I found it weird that he tried to act on certain lines, but didn’t do much with the rest. Vocally, I’m not complaining though. It’s just that it didn’t have that bite that Raul had.

I am now giving a standing ovation to anyone just because they have decided to NOT sing something from Into the Woods.
