Almost fainted at this concert. He is absurdly talented. ❤

You can tell his voice is tired yet he's able to sound great. I love Ben.

Ben Platt is looking good & sounding so sweet!!!! A real treasure.

BEN PLATT YOU DONT HAVE TO BE THIS GOOD😭

[@demerysmith5180]

I was there!!! He was an absolute angel. I was so sad when it ended.

[@HebbleTyson]

What he does with a song is as close to real magic as I ever expect to see or hear. Brilliant!

[@popsyturvee5112]

His voice would sound perfect for Hunchback of Notre Dame’s song Out There! Ugh. I would love to hear that.

[@xxShadowOfTheWolfxx]

there is a short version of that if you search for ben platt serenading darren criss or something like that. wish there was a whole video of that.

[@ronnietorres9671]

Yes!!!

Talk about inception. Watching this on my phone right now and I'm like 90% sure that phone you see in the beginning of the video is me lol

Love how he echoes some of shoshana’s riffs. She owns this song forever. Ben sounds incredible here, as usual.

Why are you comparing? It is completely pointless. Grow up.

Beyond perfect

[@RebeccaPhythian]

The vocal control - effortlessly beautiful 🥲

[@mrPp475]

As a person who relates to the story, there's only 3 versions of the song that moved me, made me sobb and touched my heart. Sara Bareilles (obv as she's the composer), Lucie Jones (best Jenna ever) and Ben Platt. Sure lots of people can sing the song, but not everyone can actually deliver with the emotion and sensitivity that the lyrics require. Ben Platt is amazing!! 👏❤️

[@AndraRAC]

Have you listened to Jeremy Jordan's version, it should be in that top too?

[@keith7272]

Or Caleb Hyles' version??

[@veethomson6179]

2 things ... first thought was 'I wish people would just live and watch instead of recording ... just be present, I'm sure they would enjoy their time much more'. Second thing was 'Thank you SO much for recording and sharing this!!! I needed to see this and you recorded it so beautifully without shaking or anything, even when zoomed in!!!' 🤣😂🤣

[@emeliahathaway8150]

Alright big question....Which is better? Ben Platt's or Jeremy Jordan's "She Used to be Mine"?

[@ecembusehazr3555]

They both sound great. It's very difficult. But I think Jeremy makes the emotion feel better. And Jeremy's voice is stronger in this song. I think Ben Platt vibratos a lot. And that's the wrong choice for this song.

[@emeliahathaway8150]

[@mhendorado]

It's not simple to say Most days I don't recognize me These shoes and this apron That place and its patrons Have taken more than I gave 'em It's not easy to know I'm not anything like I used to be Although it's true I was never attention sweet center I still remember that girl She's imperfect but she tries She is good but she lies She is hard on herself She is broken and won't ask for help She is messy but she's kind She is lonely most of the time She is all of this mixed up And baked in a beautiful pie She is gone but she used to be mine It's not what I asked for Sometimes life just slips in through a back door And carves out a person And makes you believe it's all true And now I've got you And you're not what I asked for If I'm honest I know I would give it all back For a chance to start over And rewrite an ending or two For the girl that I knew Who be reckless just enough Who can hurt but Who learns how to toughen up when she's bruised And gets used by a man who can't love And then she'll get stuck and be scared Of the life that's inside her Growing stronger each day 'Til it finally reminds her To fight just a little To bring back the fire in her eyes That's been gone but it used to be mine Used to be mine She is messy but she's kind She is lonely most of the time She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie She is gone but she used to be mine

WHERE IS MY SPOTIFY RECORDING SIR

[@amyip6939]

I love Ben but I saw Jeremy Jordan perform this last week and he really does connect with the lyrics in a deeper way.

[@eri444]

agreed -- for some reason this (although vocally EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE and pleasing to the ear) seems more self-indulgent than Jeremy Jordan's version

[@perryjones7771]

@@eri444 yea he was doing to much J knew what he was doing

[@jaqenhghar2446]

Agreed. Ben's version here is a belting performance of the song. Jeremy Jordan's is a storytelling.

[@triffus]

Unpopular opinion. His voice in this song lacks patience. The vibrato is too quick, his runs never finish, or have weight or meaning. He’s a wonderful singer, not denying that in the slightest. This feels like nervous Evan Hansen as a pregnant waitress. Jeremy Jordon understood the patience and the timing, as did Shoshana, and so many others. Still love him

[@taumas7536]

i was looking for this exact comment! I totally agree with you (still a great singer)

[@heathers.6424]

Yeah I felt the same . He’s a fantastic singer usually l. But this performance is extremely worbly and doesn’t really pack an emotional punch. Jordan’s version is much much much better

[@jayjohnston97]

They all have different takes on the song. That's what's lovely about Broadway and the songs, you can have 3 different people who all have different takes on a song and they're all beautiful in their own ways. In my opinion while sticking close to the Broadway version he did put a little bit of a pop twist to which could be why the timing and such seems a little off to people who like the strict musical version. He likely did this cause this tour doesn't really have much to do with his musical career but his pop music one. It's just as beautiful as the other versions mentioned just in a different way

[@triffus]

I disagree. I’ve listened to at least 20 different versions of this song. I just didn’t like some of his stylistic choices. I’m not a Broadway purest in the slightest, but my ears like what they like. They didn’t hate this, but wasn’t my favourite. Love that we can all enjoy what we choose to :)

[@heathers.6424]

@@jayjohnston97 I'm no expert. Just a casual listener and no doubt every singer has their own take. However in this case to my ears. It was just unpleasant to listen too. Really I think Ben Platt is a lovely singer but this version was not for me. I'm glad you liked it though. Art is subjective.

[@hogfellowmedia]

Can anyone tell me what key this is in? Thanks very much!

[@aleale48]

Was it requested or is he always doing this song? I get to see him on Friday in San Diego and it would make my LIFE if he sang this 🥹✨♥️
