That's not to say he's bad, but many others in the cast can sing faster, intenser, and higher than he can. I'm also amazed however that the only complete bootleg of him in the role that exists is so low quality that you can barely make out that it's him

If you watch closely, you can see that they filmed this at different performances. Billie’s hair is short in one part and then it’s longer in another.

To everyone hating on the broadway cast saying only Billie can sing Green Day songs please stop. He does sing them best because they were literally written for his voice but the broadway cast is good too. They’re just different. I’m sure if they were original and Billie Joe was the cover than you would be saying the same thing about Billies version. I agree that there are just some people that cannot sing certain types of songs (Johnny from the LA version of American Idiot I’m looking at you) but people can sing other peoples songs without it being wrong
