[@katydara9615]

He could sing his grocery lists and I'd pay to listen.

[@nurysacevedogaete3830]

hahahahah! Agree!!

[@swizelfizel2218]

same

[@pat_1313]

Me too. Not just for his voice. I'm just genuinely interested in his grocery list.... Thats not creepy

[@killjxy7448]

It would just be one hour of singing *_fruITTT snACkSSSS_* intensely.

[@sliceofbread6929]

I would pay to hear him sing about different types of trees ;^) wink wink

[@sabynesantiago2980]

[@ratboy721]

Sabyne Santiago ok but literally these 2 videos make me fucking cry??? like they're so good

[@kinzw8430]

SAME GKSNDMSNDKSBSHWHDVS

[@jelloarmy9921]

Sabyne Santiago think about a duet

[@hawkscratch]

SHIT a duet,,, but they’re so different

[@kevinlongman007]

I preferred Andrew's version...closer to Judy's version.

[@elisel.641]

Can we like Jurassic Park his genes and get a couple more of him on this planet

[@nicolealexis4512]

Elise L. As long as I can get some 😂

[@Bloodymarryxxx1989]

Well i want some

[@UnderTheCandy]

His vibrato. Damn son.

[@FaiGal]

UnderTheCandy It shakes my soul and runs chills through my veins 😵😄👏🏼

[@fong03]

I actually don’t care for his vibrato, but he does have a nice tone. I’m not crazy about this arrangement either, but the man is very talented.

Ben Platt. no words. just. Ben. Jesus. what a man. what a voice.

[@emmaborden6365]

Would you say that your Words Fail? ;)

Emma Borden That pun is so good I'm mad I didn't think of it lol

[@christinablah3282]

[@morganbaily2930]

Christina Blah me

[@MrOmardini]

[@mehmehmeh6130]

Christina Blah I want to be his suit wait what

[@kaylamcook696]

I was just casually scrolling through the comments until I read this, then I immediately went back up to watch the video. Also, same.

[@OP-wh4tr]

OHGOSSSSHSAME

[@fruityeel]

Ben's voice is like the tears of angels and all the constellations and silk ribbons all at once

[@sammishoemaker6438]

i’ve been listening to this for years. i don’t think it’ll ever get old

[@luv2singanything]

Oh Lord...the falsetto and the vibrato and the glory notes...and the attitude...he's awesome. :-)

[@amanday3103]

Ben's so talented but also kind of dorky and it's just so adorable!

[@bunkyman8097]

Its that dorkyness that I find so appealing and attractive. I love you Ben!

[@donlevy8960]

He's very talented but always humble and unassuming. I'd be shocked if he didn’t win a Tony.

[@mehmehmeh6130]

Don Levy yeah his humbleness is just unbelievable

[@Lupin788]

He did it! He won a Tony for Dear Evan Hansen. 🏆

[@broadwaybabi91]

His voice is SO well suited to jazz, especially the Torch Song type.

[@mehmehmeh6130]

amanda kemmerer his voice goes well with every song what are you talking about

[@elizabethstover3033]

Not all jazz, but definitely, like, jazz band jazz.

[@sosbrigade]

[@chaytries964]

[@thaliagrace4444]

after hearing this i can never live my life the same way

[@TheWaxworker]

Ben Platt, you are such a beautiful man and artist.

[@laraanderson9855]

It's freaking adorable when he punches the air when hitting the high notes 😂

[@sofiarosececilia]

he never fails to amaze me...

[@sollopezmurillo330]

I saw a man so talented i started crying

[@zzzmaggie]

Ana Sofía 2017 mood (hello voltron?)

[@beccadutcher9236]

If he doesn't get a Tony I swear to GAWD.

[@mailuening933]

Becca Dutcher HAVE I GOT GREAT NEWS FOR YOU

[@user-cr3dg8ev2y]

CAN YOU HEAR ME SOBBING. Ben Platt is a freaking God. I'm so in love with him and his amazing voice

[@KimberlySullify]

Such a star! He blew my mind in Dear Evan Hansen - helloooooo Tony! :)

[@mikeanderson9205]

Wow his vibrato is fast.

[@nmuphelps1]

Quite, and ABSOLUTELY - BRILLIANT!!! AND for keeping the word "WOMAN" in - 100 out of !OO!!!

[@cheetoonthefritz6125]

How is it possible to sing like that? Honestly, Platt isn’t just gifted, he IS a gift.

[@duravis0065]

Petition for him and Andrew Rannells to cover this professionally

[@uns0ciable4ever]

i love this man more than ive ever loved anyone or anything

[@claire4112]

Ever noticed all the Bens on Broadway are amazing: Ben Platt, Ben Cook, Ben Fankhauser...

[@belle5238]

Claire Prestgard don't forget about Ben Crawford from CATCF

[@voxextremos22]

Ben Foster

[@kathmcg1981]

Holy crow, I had no idea he could belt out a song like this, he's amazing!

[@iamjeffreychrist]

This clip is nothing short of astounding. (Also, I love how Platt is open about his sexuality without saying it outright publicly (no one has asked him - yet). Though saying you dressed like Dorothy most of your youth, and that you're fascinated by, worshiped - and wanted to BE - Judy Garland IS saying it publicly.)

[@ClueSign]

Right, he's saying "I'm mostly heterosexual albeit occasionally somewhat ambiguous and heteroflexible" am I right?

[@abbieglitterz2209]

Why can't he be straight or at least bi man wtf Not that it would make a difference as I will never be lucky enough to even breathe the same air as Ben Platt But a girl can freaking dream

[@iamjeffreychrist]

No. I'm saying the guy is as gay as a picnic basket. And the most talented gay picnic basket I've ever had the fortune to see (three times so far. I have to go again before he leaves in November!).

[@iamjeffreychrist]

Because he's not straight or bi. That's why.

[@GioSimmerOficial]

I've (read) around that he's open to both boys and girls on Tinder... ;-)

[@ughhh]

Who dare dislike my son.

[@alesiameulemans5446]

This is so beautiful. I'm constantly blown away by the quality of his voice and his sheer talent. It's also really interesting how he's adopted some of Evan's traits, like bending over when he's singing, lifting his leg up and playing with his hands. Such a dedicated actor, he's a huge source of inspiration. Keep it up Mr. Platt, we're all rooting for you, and I know you'll do amazing things, and I can't wait to see them.

[@hannahbibby4]

i don’t even know what’s better: the actual video, or the comments.

[@victreebel170]

Ben Platt singing WHAAAAT this is two beautiful worlds colliding brb sobbing 😭

[@troloop3763]

He has an absolutely amazing voice and is like THE MAN, but did anyone else think it was cool how he was getting really into it?

[@Cheesefist]

I would love to see Ben Platt and Jonathan Groff diet “Take me or Leave me”

[@lizamckinley1608]

THIS. IS. AMAZING. BEN OMG YOU'RE SO COOL.

[@OliviafinkStar]

what a talent and an icon and an inspiration ... thank you for existing, ben platt

[@livk6946]

Wow... this is just so amazing, his voice is so satisfying and wonderful... it's hard to describe, I guess you could say " words fail" to describe it

[@kylees71]

when he took the microphone off the stand my heart stopped, he is so talented and captivating i love him

[@aingeav497]

Now THIS. This is how you do MisCast

[@daisyrocklauren]

..... There's nothing I can say.

[@nicolesskye2165]

i cant believe he is the best human being

[@user-yo3vt7ft1p]

That took guts. Thank you.

[@waynesworld5855]

This is such a wonderful, magnificent, spectacular performance!!! I just can't say enough about how well he did this song. I have heard many people do this song and done as well as him except for the Great Judy Garland herself. She would be proud because his rendition does her honor. And the condescending laughter at the beginning of this song only makes it all the more special.

[@calderfly4004]

I love this man more than I love myself can I be him

[@MiniTalkin11]

damn platt

[@bambertpie]

BYE THIS IS SO PRETTY

[@icebox56]

I know I'm a bit late to the party but hearing this suddenly washed away all my problems and I now feel like a brand new human being. How can anything be so powerful yet pure at the same time? You are a mystery, Ben Platt.

[@mikaelajacobson8822]

Not to be dramatic but I would die for this man

[@manglesmusic]

How even can this have existed for months and I never saw it..."aaand never a new song will be the saaaame."

[@KyleOgilvie1]

This is SUCH a hard song to sing. If you listen to the Judy Garland version, her voice and her emotions are one and the same. Every word she sings is dripping to the bone with emotion. What I love about Ben's version is it's just as spectacular as Judy's version, without being an exact carbon copy of the original. Bravo Ben Platt

[@avaedwards7495]

Everyday I'm Hufflin' I’m sorry but no one touches Judy’s version

[@annamariaiannacito5291]

I recently discovered Ben and I am captivated. I saw "Dear Evan Hanson" on KZbin...and it was removed the next day!!!!!! I listen to the soundtrack while I'm reading "Dear Evan Hanson"........I'm savoring the book, I don't want it to end!!!!!! Everything about Ben is amazing. I bought "Sing To Me Instead" also and listen to it all the time. He makes this world a better place!!!!!!! He has 'been found' and he 'grows as he goes'.

[@marinao4412]

*vibrato* dayum

[@genevievelavoie7112]

I would give up everything to be able to fall asleep to this man's vibrato.

[@lifewithpaige2239]

Ben platt is amazing❤

[@rjkroeplin9815]

Those low notes are so amazing; I love it

[@MRMATTX2]

Holy crap, this kid is awesome.

[@markbarnwell942]

Ben can do torch song. What a great vocalist with an amazing set of pipes. Judy would approve.

[@immaprocrastinator]

I wish someone would hold me as gently as Ben Platt holds that mic stand

[@camomilletea8810]

I can't choose between Ben's version and Andrew's. I can't, I won't, I love them both.

[@johnflynn9619]

Extrodinararily Talented. Great rendition of the song.

[@emilyadams3716]

This is for sure one of my favorite performances of his. The song and his voice together... It kinda feels like a throwback to a time I've never been to, one that kinda doesn't even exist...

[@thankyoupete9486]

My wig is snatched. How. How does he do vibrato so well????????? How is he so beautiful???? Talented??? A god

[@lizetter4047]

only way I can express what I feel as I watch this are through emojis 😵🤧🤤🤯

[@Nakautoga]

Ben's got a good and strong vibrato. Remarkable control!

[@xak999]

Very credible, when he hits the high notes, you know the voice is real. But when it comes to the maturity to FEEL what the lyrics mean, he's still a young buck, but a technician with enormous promise. When Judy sings this, we take her high notes for granted, we know she can do those, it's in performing the number she she slays you every time. Ben will get there.

[@claire4112]

+A. Xak haha he doesn't have the maturity to FEEL what lyrics mean?? Have you SEEN OR HEARD WHAT HE DOES IN DEAR EVAN HANSEN

[@shpidoinkleboy]

Claire Prestgard well they weren't referring to that show, they were referring to this particular song, and I have to agree. Even the greatest performer can be flawed from time to time. I didn't get the intense emotion from this, mostly just vocal acrobatics.

[@janzelle123]

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH HECK

[@TaylorPlaysRoblox]

2:41 - 2:43 just the,, small kick he does with his foot how to be that adorable??

[@dhank6933]

i seriously hope that this young man has a long and successful career--he is amazing

[@ainsleenipper2876]

Wow just wow 👏👏

[@kaitlynarmstrong8583]

and now it doesn’t even have to be a miscast for him 😌

[@sopasplz]

i love this too much

[@MrGayman7]

Incredible, what a great talent. You do justice to the song, and to one of my all-time idols!

[@izzycamoc1289]

I love him, I wish him the world

[@lilinamazimusic]

when both ben platt and andy randy sing this song and you don’t know who you like best. let’s just say they’re both gods and ugh i love them

[@christineclancy5801]

No words, alright. Except for heart achingly beautiful, that's all. I have a ticket to DEH in Aug and am counting the hours!

[@MajorAlenko]

Amazing.

[@dreaminginpastels]

Love him so much.

[@abbybeardsley7577]

10/10 would duet with him

[@dominickmiciotta4326]

Ben Platt is A remarkable talent. A once in a generation talent Who breathes new and exciting life into the songs he sings, especially the old ones.

[@Disneylover2023]

[@4241michael]

Ben Platt. So young, so gifted, such a beautiful singer.

[@billgaleza1050]

First heard Ben's voice like a lot of people in the first Pitch Perfect movie. Now I'm hooked.

[@2034916]

Ben, please record “Somewhere” and “The Man That Git Away” on an album.

[@cara-zk7bq]

bens little mannerisms when he sings like if you agree

[@jamespolcyn8441]

Amazing

[@sleepy9082]

[@bailie972]

His vibrato JESUS HAS SENT ME TEARS

[@kelynnrose4653]

I'm crying.

[@nataliel6090]

[@deadmain1092]
