Am *stunned* - Norm LEWIS singing "Stars" from Les Miserables

[UTUSN]

I was doing the morning tasks, the Kelly show in the background, and this voice started. I dropped threw the dishes down to see it. Despite that I'm a music type, I've never denied that I'm a "generalist" meaning "shallow" and saw Les Miserables once, like anything else don't get into the weeds about anything, if moved just move along.

I had no idea where this song came from, missed the introduction title, then when it was over scrambled to google the singer, with bits of lyrics. Imagine my surprise that the song is Javert's. The lyrics changed my whole outlook, how his "evil" came from total rigidity of righteousness.

But I digress. The point here is from the perfect voice and perfect melody.

3. Norm Lewis is AMAZING!

His appearance in Jesus Christ Superstar that was done with John Legend was spectacular. Any time he takes the stage he OWNS the stage!

4. He was mesmerizing on the silly show while he performed, then when it was over, dropped out of

character and was a giddy musical theater kid!1 I'd never heard of him, and saw the LEGEND "Superstar." This is not a criticism, just judging by whatever crosses my noticing!

I'm shallow, as I've said. I was even listening to the LYRICS, and I'm documented as saying that only MELODY matters, not lyrics. Funny, in teh Google somebody asked what Biblical verse "those who falter, those who fail" is from. The answer was: Victor HUGO - duh!1

5. I saw the orginal as well. I agree the thing on tv was awful.

Just watched it to see Norm Lewis.

6. "silly show" was Kelly show, not LEGEND. I'm not *that* much of a barbarian!1 (Actually, I am)
