For one of the first times in quite a while. He's not that bad of an actor, and I enjoy his voice when he uses it correctly, and I have respect for him for being in the OBC of one of my favorite musicals. This, however, shocked me:

2) I'm no singer, and though there's at least one spot where he shows bad technique, overall he seems to show more control than usual to my unexperienced ear.
3) WOAH DUDE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS
4) Passion! ♥
5) I'm fond of the song--never heard anything from Chess before...
6) He's not wearing some fashion disaster, that always makes it easier to focus on his singing...
So yes.
