• Description : Ok so I though I'd go into a Seth R...(more)udetsky-esque explaination as to where I got some of (for lack of a better phrase,) riffs. I don't want to say I "stole" these, but rather, hearing a lot of amazing versions of this song, it's hard not to want to pick up some stuff. That said, you can probably still say I stole them. But I'm never gonna be any of these people so it's all good, right?? Ok, the first homage is at 2:10 to Darius de Haas, who in this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mjwmv_0Ofy0, video does the same thing. Then at 3:20 is Titus Burgess's (from the performance at the Strathmore last year) "know I will be free!" that was so incredibly fierce that I had to at least try it. And then at like 3:40 is the Billy Porter ending that was from At the Corner of Broadway + Soul that John Owen Jones also replicates on his album (who is also fierce) and also his lyric change "the best that I try to be" (though I have no idea why I sang that because clearly that's not the right line). Of course I had to change some of it because all that riffing is really hard and I'm not great at it (you can listen to the other audio on my channel in which I try to). Then at the last "I'm king of the world," this first one is similar to what Titus does; the second is more like Billy. That's about it... unless anyone wants to point out anything else. ----- This was my entry for Jason Robert Brown's "Summer Karaoke Competition." (less)
