I actually don't like the way Antonio Bandares sings this. Is he supposed to say "yeew," because he does and it bothers me to no end.

I don't mind so much.
He has so much going for him in his performance of Guido Contini, I can forgive a small flaw here and there.

Antonio was great as Guido, and, as a result, that is my favorite song.

Don't get me wrong. I like Antonio Bandares on the rest of the cast recording, but him in this song bothers me.

I went into this show knowing that Chita was going to have one solo so I was prepared to be pretty bored while she was off stage. I got the surprise of my life!

I loved the show. Banderas was wonderful and Mary Stuart Masterson drove me into a "google" frenzy searching for any version I could find of "Be On Your Own" until the CD came out.

I loved and miss that show very much.

funny, i've been noticing this with a lot of men in theater. the "yeew" disease.

happens in aida (how i know "yeew"), rent (manley pope used to be a big "yeew" guy), tick tick boom (raul - what can "yeew" do). and others that aren't coming to mind right now. when i started realizing a trend, i was thinking .. "some voice teacher is really taking over broadway, making everyone say 'yeeew'."

i noticed this too mfl... it annoyed me in the beginning, but the production is too good to worry about that. especially mary stuart masterson, who brings me to tears! ironically, i have the opposite problem, my voice teachers have always told me that my 'you' is too open and i need to close the vowel more.. haha

It is a gorgeous song in general. It was one of the call back songs for our auditions this year and as I sat there listening to 4 different girls sing it, I seriously bawled my eyes out the whole time. Couldn't help it LOL. If anyone is interested this fall University of Illinois department of theatre is performing NINE. I am assistant directing it and it is going to be amazing!!!!
