Oh my Goooddd I laugh until I cry every time I see this video.
"They'll never be able to separate Jekyll from HyyyyyYYYYYAAAUUUUUGHHHHHH HASSELHYDE SMAAAAAAASH!!"
The more I listen to this the more I like the Hoff's interpretation - the scream in particular was incredible, he brings intensity to the whole performance, and he's evoking a darkness in Jekyll that normally isn't there. He definitely doesn't have the voice, but he does so much right in this clip.
His voice isn't exactly the best in the business, and most of the other songs in the show weren't all that good, but this is actually pretty good, and he's got tons of passion in his performance. He also obviously has a strong wish to star in a musical, and he made that happen - I'm assuming - using collateral he earned from previous successes in his life, and I respect him for that.
HIs transitions are so clean. You look at the other performances, and each has its incredible moments, but none was as clear and clean as his were. He's obviously not a singer, but I was pleasently surprised. It's a difficult, crazy hard song and I think he did really well
damn he raced through this, he was switching back and forth so much, it is almost like a dance move (back and forth, back and forth, back and forth) thank god they stopped the broadway production about 10 years ago
There is so much criticism because when you compare him with Anthony walrow, It's like listening to down with webster and Led Zepplin and trying to figure out who is more of a legend. Nobody can do Jekyll & Hyde better than Anthony Warlow vocally, emotionally and theatrically. David was good, but if he were a middle school grade, he would be a B because he meets all the standards, where-as Anthony would get and A for meeting and exceeding the expectations for both Jekyll & Hyde.
