What a power house. The feminist anthem we didn't know we needed.

[@vitalmeg]

We knew!

[@LAUREN-dp7vx]

Exactly what I said when I saw it. No one saying you won’t or you can’t or you know you’re not anything ‘cause you’re a girl’

[@lisacrow5762]

Indeed...females are clever too and deserve opportunities.

[@brianfoss571]

"Me and The Sky" = "Defying Gravity" in real life!

[@mandilu4914]

Smart

[@sadiemaxfield7566]

That actually the vibe though

[@TiboFPS]

I would put it right up there with defying gravity in terms of empowerment anthems

[@TiboFPS]

@Katie Levac honestly agreed

[@katydawson6347]

Spot on x

[@juicemonsterjay]

I can hear the pain in her voice when she says, "used as the bomb". It's so real and makes you think more about everyday life and how quickly something you lvoe can be taken away. This is the most heartwarming musical ever

[@themoley91]

I work in film festivals and I keep thinking about that line "the one thing I loved more than anything was used as the bomb" in relation to our current reality and wondering how long it will be, just like how everyone was afraid of flying after 9/11, until I can have that world back again. I appreciate this song even more now than before.

[@nuckinfuts7610]

Well said you guys. 🛩️♥️

[@eagander]

Jen did an amazing job portraying Beverly Bass! I've seen it a number of times (I ASL interpreted the tour here in Minneapolis) and cried every, single time! To be honest, when I first read the script I thought, "They made a musical out of this!?" But I tell you, some shows play much better than they read. This one's in my top five!!

[@baileyshaver6063]

This entire show is so underrated. Come From Away is the musical the world needs right now, a story about love and triumph. This song makes me ugly cry so bad.

[@ella-ro8jf]

Bailey Shaver fast forward to 2019, its a huge hit, going on tour, and the book has turned into a best seller!

[@elliejmx]

@@PeterParker-hf8ok Odd, everyone I know who has seen is has considered it almost life changing, including myself. I suppose no musical is for everyone but it has won numerous awards and the show is a gift to the theatre community in my opinion. Also Come From Away has a 5 star rating on TripAdvisor in both London and New York, so I'm not sure the majority would. It's a hit for sure.

[@qrotter]

@@PeterParker-hf8ok f*ck you

[@MattBellStL]

@@PeterParker-hf8ok This is a wild take. CFA is easily in the top 3 shows I’ve ever seen. Everyone I know who’s ever seen it was brought to tears multiple times (including in this song). Do you just not like musicals?

[@pault5557]

THIS IS STILL TRUE TODAY!!! ❤️ I was crying from the opening song because this is the story of a worldwide shared experience from the people of one INCREDIBLE town!!!

[@camryncolella243]

I'm so proud of my beautifully talented Aunt! It is so heartwarming to read all of these positive comments about her. She has been in the show business for a long time, and has worked so hard. I'm so happy that she is finally getting the recognition she deserves. Thank you all so much!

[@disneygirl8069]

Camryn Colella You must be so proud of her!! I love her voice and this character so much. Hoping she wins her Tonty tomorrow!!

[@moppis1937]

Camryn Colella She is amazing.

[@marykmaloney]

Please if you can just let her know that she is such an inspiration to me as I am trying to make my way as a theater actress in Chicago. She is not only a remarkable performer, but an extraordinary human. I've watched a lot her interview and love her whole notion of practicing kindness and taking care of the people you're auditioning for. She is a true leader in the community!

[@lindsaysmith8969]

Camryn Colella I saw her for the first time on Broadway in If/Then and she was FANTASTIC. I was so excited to see her get this role and I hope I'm able to see her in this! I'm obsessed with this performance.

[@msfuegoyluz]

Your aunt is amazing!!! Her voice knocked me out when I saw her in If/Then!! Thrilled she is getting this soooo deserved recognition!!

[@robynp9872]

Just throwing in here, not only was she the first female captain, but she did it at 36 years old!

[@stephaniadelaps]

As a female pilot I am so touched right now and so proud!

[@cherrie1763]

The way she sings EVERY word is legit an art...so beautiful. Thank you for this performance

[@mikewolf5367]

I saw Jenn's performance on "The View" where she sang "Me & The Sky" and I literally fell to my knees and cried at the lyrics "The one thing I loved more then anything was used as a bomb". There are simply no words to express the overwhelming emotions. Even sitting here and watching this video has me crying. My heart is absolutely broken. Operation Yellow Ribbon was the most beautiful gesture of unbridled love and compassion and unity one country could ever show another.

[@jrocknpoppingirl]

This is the one line that hits me like a ton of bricks no matter how many times I listen to this song. Each song on this soundtrack has a moment like that (except for In the Bar/Heave Away and Screech In). Every song has at least one moment that hits hard on the soul, no matter how many times I hear it.

[@jrocknpoppingirl]

Yeah that's what I was trying to say just without so many words.

[@tessagattullo4700]

@FearnTuckerBentley You know that Jenn originated the role, right? I have seen them both on KZbin and I think I prefer Jenn's version.

[@vanessawyeth9037]

It makes me cry every single time. Such a powerful song. I can’t imagine anyone singing it better.

[@catfeldman3614]

i cannot wait for the sheet music this is such a perfect audition song

[@QwithTomPower]

Record it and send it to us! We'd love to see it!

[@stephenwoodjetts986]

Get in touch with me.

[@bethany5527]

stephen woodjetts Do you have a copy of the sheet music? I'm desperate!

[@rosemarysolano7138]

That’s what I was thinking

[@ryanmarks498]

For four and half minutes, she is that pilot. Man what a performance 🎭 Phenomenal

[@ktraschko6553]

This is my daughters’ FAVORITE song. They love hearing the story of a woman following her dream and doing what she loves. We all sing along every time in the car.

[@Camiiilllee]

How can such a powerful voice come out of such a tiny woman? Breathtaking performance.

[@hollisjo4023]

Never underestimate us shorties and skinnies.

[@onjimsaladpie7476]

Yes Do not underestimate us Hehehe Okay, I’m kind of concerned for myself, but she does sound absolutely AMAZING

[@AHam-re9zy]

She makes it sound like it was her dream and her life in this! Amazing voice and amazing acting! Very few can act so brilliantly while singing.

[@filkertom]

Damn, what a voice!

[@michaelfries1443]

she belts so easy

[@quailjake]

Just saw this show last night. An incredible force of humor, generosity, and human emotion. I didn't really know what to expect, but I was enchanted by the entire production. The whole cast was incredible (as was the on-stage band), and the show overall gives you hope in humanity. Get your tickets while you still (kind of) can...they've been selling out since previews began! Standing room only!

[@ZacharyMichael]

I can't stop staring at the way Sharon Wheatley looks at Jenn Colella. I want somebody to look at me that way.

[@mollyk2642]

Zachary Michael i was thinking the exact same thing.

[@darinblass]

I just saw this show on Broadway and it exceeded all my expectations. So touching and sentimental without being cheesy or weepy, and poignant without being preachy. Go see it!!

[@halfbeats]

It's amazing how she's able to channel the same energy a performer would have singing to a live audience and bring it to a small studio. All the little quirks and ad libs she does, and the way her voice breaks during the line about a plane being used as a bomb. She never fails to give it her all!

[@cmarion1544]

We got to see this production when it came to Toronto. It meant so much after having visited Newfoundland the previous summer. It is the best show we've seen so far. Amazing music. Newfoundlanders are truly friendly and generous as portrayed in the show. So happy to be able to listen to this song by this talented singer and absorb the words.

[@willsbob123]

She’s just perfection. Perfect for this part. I’ve seen Rachel, Alice and a few others tackle this song. And they just don’t eat it like she does. She truly believes every word and everyone around her does.

[@jacktyler7599]

Jenn Colella captured, bottled and repeatedly, forcefully redistributed the spirit of this story, and the joy of simple kindness which the story shares with its audience. The Come From Away interviews that include Jenn on KZbin are genuinely inspiring and well worth one's time.

[@kasmiramcfeeters-rayburn8854]

I got an ad for "Come From Away" on this video. 😁

[@QwithTomPower]

Haha

[@jo-annbrowne3079]

I love this song not only this song the whole musical that tell the story of a wonderful group people who help others on a day that no one will ever forget but these people gave up their lives for 5 days to help others ,it will show humanity what people are really are I saw this musical in Dublin a few ago but I will see it again

[@shelbyteague7928]

This musical is so relevant and powerful, now and forever

[@michaelbonnet7219]

OMG. I want to see this play. That was beautiful.

[@maribelroos2852]

I can't stop singing this song and when I do it's right there in the back of my mind. I'm addicted to it . And yes it gives me goosebumps every time I play it. I remember 9/11 so well and being Canadian I remember the great influx of US airplanes on our tiny runway in Abbotsford British Columbia. There were planes in every space just jammed in .However there is nothing like the folks from Newfoundland. Come from Away is a very accurate portrayal of what happened .and their hospitality Im happy we were able to help,our friends at a very difficult time. ❤️❤️❤️

[@derrickkilfoy6696]

Fantastic! Jenn gives me the goose bumps!

[@QwithTomPower]

Us too!

[@alessandra5013]

I'm watching the musical on AppleTV+ and this song just... I had to rewind, watch it again and then google it. Great performance. This is art ❤️

[@davidtodd907]

i just heard this song on the radio for the 1st time and i thought wow, what a voice , what a song and what a story. I had to come on here to find out more about Jenn and also Beverley Bass who the song is about. It's now saved to my favs.

[@beccaarmstrong3018]

Such a beautiful tone in her voice! I keep listening over and over! So very talented! ❤

[@Singerqt43]

How is she so powerful while sounding so effortless?!?!

[@jrocknpoppingirl]

I cannot listen to this song without crying like a baby. Jenn is just so amazing. I know what is coming and yet it still hits me like a ton of bricks because of how talented Jenn is.

[@katarzynajaniszewska578]

God, she is absolutely stunning! What a voice, an interpretation, straight through her soul! I'm in love!

[@abbye6082]

So much emotion in that voice

[@dlh5435]

Out of all the people that do this she nails it

[@elphbwckd212]

What a brilliant performance. Just incredible all around.

[@laurenbronson6640]

Jenn Colella is amazing! She hits it out of the park with this one. 😊

[@abbyslovick158]

Jenn Colella never fails to make me cry and have chills, so thankful I got to see her months ago on stage being a beacon for strong female leads and powerful women everywhere. I got to see the show as a traveling broadway recently and it was just as beautiful however nothing compares to her voice and her stage presence. The amount of times I’ve cried watching videos like this just because of her voice. Thank you jenn.

[@CatRobinsonDiva]

I well up every time. What a song. What a rendition. 💜💔

[@Xylric]

Still the most chilling Major-to-Minor key shift I've ever heard.

[@hihi909]

Full body chills every single time !

[@lizt9485]

I have watched other great singers videos of this song. There is something so magical about her performance.

[@hierrikmedan6934]

Won’t lie, used to really not like this song after seeing CFA in theatres when the Actress for Beverly didn’t do that great (clearly not Jenn in that case,) but I’m so happy I went back to this song because when it’s done properly it’s amazing

[@terrihj8955]

What a dynamo! Such great storytelling with awesome vocals. I love this.

[@sharonbartter3139]

I don't know what it is about this song! I just can't stop singing it! She's such an inspiration! And the only pilot who went back to Gander on the 10th anniversary! (Her story is inspirational enough but that's why she's focused on, cuz she showed up.

[@kimthejp]

I still cry. Every.Single.Time.

[@darkroselight3835]

Her voice is beautiful, she captures so much power.

[@donmartin2183]

You are an amazing singer. My son is a pilot and when I listen to you singing this song it brings tears to my eyes. You are a beautiful woman and I'm sure a wonderful person. Thank you for this gift to everyone.

[@macyfiehweg4188]

She is AMAZING & I love watching the other singers watch her sing, they look so sincere and proud!!!

[@anawieder5003]

This song and this performer is breathtaking

[@elliotbolles91]

Saw show in Washington... and just saw it again in New York... it is the best... moving... real.. fun... and all true.

[@thea.o_o]

i get chills every time i listen to this, it's too powerful!

[@ImehSmith]

The lyrics, song writing, vocals, orchestration, EVERYTHING is just so AMAZING for this song....and she sounds just like Reba McEntire

[@alexbakerman]

This is just so great, I could watch it a hundred times and only fall in love with it more.

[@sydneyleach7562]

I got the honor to sing for her and learn from her and she is nothing but positive energy and she was the one who let me open up my voice and gain confidence and I am forever grateful

[@daisydottie9252]

this musical deserves way more popularity

[@rebecca2401]

My favorite thing about this are the women next to her smiling and being so excited for Jenn!

[@onlymelbourne2842]

see this show whenever it comes to your city... brilliant!

[@patfrishkoffyachatsmama]

Such an amazing song, performed full force, every emotion. I tear up every time. Every word, spoken with just the perfect tone.,

[@juanignaciotoroborregales7719]

Literally i just cry so bad seeing this musical

[@ivylouisa1662]

Jenn is such an inspiration, and so is this show and message. Makes me cry every time :')

[@carschmn]

I like how the cast kicks in after “…and the girls all thought much higher of me.”

[@linhcam1475]

this is a masterpiece

[@jodypowell7169]

I am in love with Jenn Colella, this song, and this show! I saw it in NY last week and I'm all over youtube watching interviews and performances of this incredible cast and their real-life counterparts. But this song is the one I have playing on repeat! I am mesmerized watching Jenn sing it! Many thanks to everyone involved for bringing this story out into public consciousness.

[@clawpinheiro]

Astrid Van Wieren is visibly emotional in the background. Like Jenn Colella she is an amazing singer and actress/interpreter and she is thrilled with the song. Beautiful! Everything about this show is great. Everything about this show is beautiful.

[@KMXC17]

I remember reading an interview where Beverly Bass was talking about why she became a pilot. She said that she didn’t do it to be groundbreaking, she did it to make it normal for girls to be pilots.

[@clevelandrocksgirl]

I can't get this song out of my head, inspiring and heartbreaking, elevating and crushing. Such a beautiful voice.

[@mistressone]

My favourite song from CFA. I love how Jenn sings it with such emotion and passion you could really believe that this was her own story to tell.

[@shabytin]

what a power belter!!!

[@carsonlovestheatre2332]

She is absolutely phenomenal

[@rentheadperson525600]

...I have no words. Amazing!

[@katecontented]

This is so amazing. I truly cried.

[@cjanyi]

Oh the goosebumpss. Jenn sings this wonderfully!

[@VeganDoris]

So awesome!

[@tacocate7112]

No words can explain how amazing and inspiring this song and musical is!

[@李芊周]

我真的太喜欢这首歌和这部音乐剧了

[@Laura05123]

She is incredible in every way.

[@iamjoris]

What an amazing voice!

[@nuckinfuts7610]

What a set of pipes. I forget to breathe when listening and watching her sing. Move over Phantom of The Opera, Lion King, Dear Evan H., Book of Mormon, Miss Saigon, Les Miz, Cats, Hamilton, and all the rest....Come From Away has landed. 🛩️♥️

[@thedarkestzenitheon3340]

I love this song. You feel her emotions

[@NancyLuik]

For my nieces. A powerful piece of music and prose.

[@Oliasn8]

Very well done. Bravo! Excellent ensemble!

[@lekoman]

Ugh. Jenn. You're incredible. We saw this at the Rep in Seattle last year, and you'd best believe we've got tickets to see it again in May in New York. I'm beside myself, I'm so excited.

[@lekoman]

Just got back from this trip! Got invited backstage by a friend of a friend (Kendra) who's in the show, and got to meet Jenn! Oh, man... everything about this show just knocks me on my ass. I cried through the whole second half. If you haven't picked up your tickets yet, just... go do it.

[@corncob5516]

i love her oh my go

[@aliciaf1214]

Okay, this is so inspiring and Jenn is amazing, have always loved her voice!

[@michellehannaway4302]

I just loved this. Thank you 💖

[@lunamolina5931]

I met the whole cast when I saw the show this summer! All of them have such a bright light and wondeful talent, I can't believe I got a picture with Jenn!

[@amysmith3152]

So much control over the emotion in her voice- you don't have to see her face to understand exactly what she's feeling in every word!

[@NumfarUK]

She’s stunning ❤️

[@kathleenstead7214]

come from away is so underrated, so is jen. 😍😍😭

[@mayacreamer9746]
