Seth Rudetsky is still amazing.

If anyone on the hall heard maniacal laughter from my room around 4:00, it was because of this.

I gotta disagree about Frances Ruffelle (though I did like her when I was in middle school I can't stand her now) but I've never really thought about how funny that hussy line really is.

"What the--?" This is too funny. You've probably all seen it. Watch it again.

The funniest part is that he thinks a palaver is a french pastry... XD

I reckon he was hungry when he did this, because he also thought Fantine would sell her hair for a sunchip...

Oh my God, that is hilarious!

I wish this was around when I did the show in Ogunquit! (We called it Gay Mis ... and now with good reason - I never realized all those references to the male genitelia! XD)

Lol @ at the laughing saxophones too.

[lesmisloony.livejournal.com]

The way he acts out the laughing saxophone bit makes me laugh every time. And I will never unhear them now. It's like all those stupid things Terry does on the OBC... another reason to laugh at random times and confuse those around me...

The 'look down' at the end is just pushing it. I adore Seth Rudetsky!!

[lesmisloony.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I didn't buy the 'look down' part either (and I really hate 'jyyyyust the old man and the gooorl')...

Dude, for a while when all I'd heard was the OBC I really didn't get the lyrics - "G.U.C. old man? Do you see old man? Juicy old man?" So confusing. I am sort of into her voice though because it seems pretty Eponine to me.

Also, we had 'palaver' on a vocab list one year, so by the time I heard Les Mis I assumed it was common knowledge. :o I've used it.

That old Mystical Chinchilla LM site, Rue de la Perle, had a running joke about the definition of a palaver, so when he got to that part I really cracked up because it's always been... sort of on my radar, I guess, that that's a weird and uncommon word. Whenever I see it used I have to grin, though.

I don't know how I feel about Frances Ruffelle, actually. She's just so... hmm. I used to call her 'Jazzy Eponine' when I was in middle school.

'Juicy old man' is BRILLIANT, by the way.

[misatheredpanda.livejournal.com]

Haha I've clearly missed out on the joke. So I'm just all, why all the palaver about those lyrics?

I'm not sure really, I don't know about her style but I think her voice quality and such works all right. And I secretly really enjoy her On My Own, just separate from the context of the musical.

Come on. You know it's true. *goes off to purge mind of images of Valjean in sweatpants with 'juicy' on the bum*
