I love Miss Saigon. It’s definitely in my top ten favorite Broadway shows of all time. I started listening to the soundtrack this weekend after not hearing it for several years. I fell in love with it all over again. I thought I would sing one of my favorite songs from the show called “Why God Why.” I hope you enjoy it. www.scotw.com LYRICS Why does Saigon never sleep at night? Why does this girl smell of orange trees? How can I feel good when nothing’s right? Why is she cool when there is no breeze? Vietnam You don’t give answers, do you friend? Just questions that don’t ever end Why God? Why today? I’m all through here, on my way There’s nothing left here that I’ll miss Why send me now a night like this? Who is the girl in this rusty bed? Why am I back in a filthy room? Why is her voice ringing in my head? Why am I high on her cheap perfume? Vietnam Hey look I mean you no offense But why does nothing here make sense? Why God? Show your hand Why can’t one guy understand? I’ve been with girls who knew much more I never felt confused before Why me? What’s your plan? I can’t help her, no one can I liked my mem’ries as they were But now I’ll leave rememb’ring her [CHRIS leaves some money on a table and goes out into the street.] [CHRIS is accosted by Vietnamese who beg for help leaving the country.] [He pushes them.] When I went home before No one talked of the war What they knew from TV Didn’t have a thing to do with me I went back and re-upped Sure Saigon is corrupt It

    @Garethjk79

    He’s not lipsyncing, but the audio is way over edited. Lots of reverb…very well produced. Its an amateur youtube video. theres really no need

  6. Sofelet says:

    wow, great voice~! it sounds very full, as if your pressing the pedal on the piano

  7. neverone16 says:

  9. bieboo16 says:

    ok He sings it OK, BUT it’s a bit kitchy and he doesn’t use the rests and the right ritmes. But it’s ok :)
    Don’t forget this isn’t an easy part ;)

    I posted a bunch of videos from a production of Miss Saigon I did, it includes a bunch of people from the Broadway, Euro, Canadian and German tours. They’re in my profile if you’re interested.

    One of the most moving musicals I have ever seen, the Butterfly of our era. And you picked a good number to showcase your talent. Thanks.

  15. OmsIsabel says:

    This song is one of my favourites and you did it beautifully. Good job!

  16. scotsings says:

    Thanks! :) I got the music on Itunes!

  17. djRaydiation says:

    Hi Scot, fantastic rendition. I was wondering, where did you the music playing in the background? I’ve been looking to do perform this song as well, but I’ve had a hard time looking for the music to this song without the vocals.

  18. RLFosse says:

    Love Saigon, Love you, Love that warm and lovely voice to dance to and listen to!

  19. CodeNameMLS says:

    Very Good. I like the dance break too :) . Defiantly one of my favorite versions of this song.

  20. aadamy says:

    Look up Arielle Adamy singing Her or Me. The mic clips a little at times making it sound flat at some points…but over all really good recording.

  21. scotsings says:

    LOL! I assure you it is me ! You can listen to some of my other vids or my albums at Amazon and Itunes.

  22. Garethjk79 says:

    Hey this guy is lip-syncing right?

  23. HollowKat says:

    I had never heard this song before, but I think I like it. It’s such a nice song and you sing it well. 5 Stars <3
