Dear Evan Hansen Comparison- Waving Through a Window

Finally! A Dear Evan Hansen video! I got different renditions of Waving Through a Window so we can compare! None of the vide or audio is mine. I DO NOT INTEND COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT! Enjoy!

[@catgamerr1414]

Sams voice just hits different, it’s one of the voices that just cuts through you’re heart and makes you smile and cry💕

[@davidduaneh]

I love Ben Levi Ross for his outstanding vocals, and I like Sam's youth and vulnerability, but no one touches Ben Platt for his intensity and the impact of his performance.

[@AnnaKaterina919]

Agreed

[@danielaw7720]

His high notes just feel so full and effortless

[@Hanahtarou]

Ben Platt is Evan Hansen. I wont even talk about his singing talent because thats perfect, but look at his acting. He's superb!

[@franzbellezas_]

Ben Platt definitely breathed so much life to Evan Hansen's character. He's so good!!!!

[@wizardgod4325]

Oml I've been obsessing over DEH for the past few days I'm so glad this came out

[@sorrynotsorry6]

Thanks for watching!

[@mirandaperez5334]

I was super lucky to see Jordan fisher’s final performance as Evan Hansen and it was breathtaking. Not only does he have an incredible voice but his acting was incredible.

[@HebbleTyson]

Ben Platt IS Evan Hansen. His performance here is running around the stage at the Tonys singing live with enormous emotional energy. The others are stationary at a mike. How is that in any way a comparison??? That Ben gave the superb rendering that he did is extraordinary. The others are good and worthy renditions, just not in the same stratosphere as BSP

[@quakkzy6499]

well that's not really fair, he was performing to win an award, the others were set up to sing for people. it wasn't their choice bud. but i understand. Ben Platt brings so much emotion to the role, and i think he's the only Evan who plays him like he really has social anxiety unlike anyone else, but in terms of sound i think Sam Tutty is my favourite. he has so much emotion.

[@HebbleTyson]

@@quakkzy6499 We're all entitled to choose our favorite. Enjoy your choice.

[@joshalreparrocho3279]

I'm just happy to hear different ways to sing and interpret this.

[@musicalshows3138]

Never heard of Ben Levi Ross but wow he is amazing!

[@erix1971]

Same here. So much energy! Wow!

[@Elentiya256]

There's not enough people talking about Jordan Fisher, his performance is immaculate and his voice fits the character so well

[@IamtheLunchlady]

Sam Tuttys performance is really touching bc hes just so believable in the role as a teen going through all this stuff. Of course Ben Platts vocal precison and intensity is stunning.

[@megana5326]

Sam is so underrated he’s amazing!!!

[@vivluns]

God, Sam is really good! I dont have a favorite, but DAMN dude, 8 shows a week for 4 YEARS?! Except for the sliver of time that was taken off from 2020, he's been doing really well. Especially since he is british, and talking in that accent, it becomes like your second tongue!

[@margarettyrion453]

Ben Ross seems so real with his singing and movements

[@ElmemintioBGC]

I’ve seen Sam in the West End early this month and I was in tears! His voice and acting were moving! Sad that they’ll close the curtains on the 22nd! 😢

[@jesslaura1105]

I saw him too and his Word fails was just... i haven't recover this

[@treciep]

Thomas Sanders and Dodie as Evan and Zoe, respectively, when???

[@tracekeller5325]

Sam Tutty !! Mastered the the original Platt hands down!

[@grayblanchard]

They are all amazing, especially Andrew Barth Feldman. However, the quintessential Evan will always be Mr. Sam Tutty...

[@jennifer5512]

Ben Platt's voice is the best but Ben Levi Ross gives the best acting performance

[@ellyballerina]

I'd switch those lol

[@DavidMiller.93]

They're all excellent in their own way. 😀

[@simcek75]

Missing Stephen Christopher Anthony, one of the best Evan ever

[@amjay9013]

Ben Platt is easily the best at this song out of these guys, he has a great tone, can do all of the highs and lows really well and flips between the different notes the best and like they're nothing.

[@gh2dtube]

Sam Tutty is the best, just slightly over Ben Platt. All are fantastic though. 👏👏

[@rebeccalambert3240]

Was not expecting that third one but living for it :O

[@springgirl7874]

HOW HAD I NEVER SEEN THE MYRA AND FABI ONE BEFORE??? I LOVE THEM SM- also I miss Wicked :’)

[@dianeroberts9145]

really how is that even comparable??????? Ben is running all over the place and gives a stellar performance.

[@MrKittyhead]

I just love them all.😄Most of them, at least.

[@TrevorMoore-l1h]

Sam Tutty....outstanding

[@Steakisthedabesthes1]

Who wonders who Evan Hansen will be the 24-25 tour 👇

[@catchdawabbit]

Ben Levi Ross is my favorite . He sings it with such conviction and emotion . Myra and Fabi were my runner-up , that was a great duet .

[@Mollykat5054]

Both different voices. I like Ben's emotional connection to the character more

[@GTNTAnimations]

Where did you get that recording of Ben Platt? All I've found is crappy bottlegs and that looks like a professional fliming

[@larapdeen8148]

That clip of Ben platt was from the Tonys if you look up waving through a window Tony awards Ben platt it’ll come up or it’s here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXSmY2tnbcabe9k

@@larapdeen8148 Thank you!

[@chillichillinchiles]

kinda sad Taylor's not on here:(

[@JessicaRoseReads]

Same!

[@ilsamalsi5267]

any compilation that includes Lindsay Mendez compels me to pick her rendition as my favorite

[@kylecatipol6894]

I didn't know Charlie Puth likes theatre

[@stevegair7062]

Where is Stephen Christopher Anthony?

[@AsaSunod]

Sam embodied the character so well.

[@gooberglop]

Ben Levi Ross is my favorite Evan so far!

[@benjibatch]

Sorry what’s going on with Sam’s first “Waving”? Sounds like completely wrong note

[@kmetzz1]

Ben all the way 😃

[@chiellazona5624]

That was not the best performance of Ben Platt, but personally I like his the most.

[@IAmMormonnn]

[@raquelDRS5936]

did you Know that also The Pentatonix have an Acapella version of this song from Dear Evan Hansen? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqHUdph8oJyapdU here's the Pentatonix version and also Jeremy Jordan Himself has a version of this same song from the musical of Dear Evan Hansen and also kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4aXh2Wfh9yZaZI and also there's the link for the version Jeremy Jordan

[@sorrynotsorry6]

Thanks for the links! Wow, I didn't know Jeremy Jordan sang this song!

[@redrox3312]

Ben platt will always be the best and worst Evan. If you know what I mean

[@daniellecain3271]

Ben Levi Ross channels the character's pain into his singing so heartbreakingly. I love hearing the variety of voices and they're all wonderful and individual, but BLR is the one for me.

[@Mollykat5054]

That is key!

[@singsongeric]

Heartbreaking is the right word. I liked all of them and skipped through the video quickly for each one but BLR got me right in the feels.

[@shloksudame4370]

Why is everyone sleeping on Andrew like holy crap his rendition was so good

[@Lila-jh7wk]

I know!! He's one of my favorite Evan Hansens

[@amb2487]

ben platt’s vibrato is iconic, andrew and noah’s tone is perfect, BEN ROSS’ CLARITY AND VIBRATO OMG, and jordan’s deeper tone☺️, i love them all (ps they did NOT need to autotune ben that much in the movie)

[@cooper6381]

Did they auto tune the vocals in the movie? I thought they all sounded natural. However in the movie’s album they are

[@liamlifegaming4587]

@@cooper6381 all singing in the movie itself was done live

[@dherian]

@@liamlifegaming4587 live does not mean without Autotune, you can hear heavy editing or autotune in the movie version. Going by experience I think it´s been Melodyne more than Autotune, as it´s very purposefully used at the same points instead of wiggling, like even the best autotune is usually...

[@jackiecalebhunt6641]

[@l.a.3479]

Noah is meh

[@paradoxsilverwood12]

They are all brilliant, but for me Sam Tutty is just incredible - I'm so happy that I had the opportunity to see him at Noel Coward Theatre in the West End. Ben Platt absolutely slays and obviously has that beautiful natural vibrato, but Sam really just has that voice which just gets me every single time. It takes a careful balance of vocal maturity, yet youthful charisma to maintain such performances of calibre for 5-7 shows per week. I feel like Sam's faultless and effortless transitions between chest voice, to head voice, to falsetto are just absolutely insane. One to watch for the future after Dear Evan Hansen sadly closes its doors for the final time.

[@bethrose4330]

I watched Sam tutty last year and he was incredible how amazing he sang with how realistic his acting was. He was just so incredible and emotional I literally cried so many times

[@Adri_Unsung]

It’s not sitting right with me that no one is talking about Andrew Barth Feldman was 16 playing Evan on broadway and holding his own vocally

[@constantinemeglis1198]

This is a very unfair comparison... the quality of recordings is all over the place!! Ben Platt, Sam Tutty, and Robert Markus are the best in that order. However, I am basing opinion on having heard good recordings of each of these guys. The recordings of Sam Tutty and Robert Markus on this post are quite poor and does not show their actual abilities. Ben Platt is the number one because the role was specifically written for his voice. He also workshopped the role in various cities for over 3 years prior to debuting on Broadway.

[@krafka]

It's a tough call between Ben Platt and Sam Tutty.

[@calebhawkins2810]

Ben Platt is the best, hands down.

[@Father_of_Death]

Definitely. The role was made specifically for his voice. I think the only other Evan Hansen I can put on the pedestal is Michael Lee Brown.

[@rebeccalambert3240]

Noah Galvin is lowkey slept on

[@ALWAYSjudyturshaBlackBelt]

I love your vids ❤️

[@rafasantosbzr]

Ben Platt is the best, of course. The only one who comes close is Ben Levi Ross imo.

[@LittleOwl2003]

Obviously I am very critical of the movie, but one thing I did like about it is how the vocals matched the acoustics of the surrounding area as a form of immersion, thats what a film can do that a play cannot, its a shame the cast recording was shown here

[@TheAmericanIdol]

I love every Evan...but Ben Platt is and (for) forever is Evan Hansen. All of them bring something to the character and I love em all though :)

[@iiNeVeRCluTcH]

Jordan sounds the best too me. Not the most powerful but much clearer than the rest

[@heavenski8253]

Well, Ben Platt set this play to be sold in the broadway; he sang as if his life depended on it, resulting in a mesmerizing performance.

[@IAmMormonnn]

I LOOOVVEEEEEEE NOAH GALVIN!!!!

[@Isaackd]

Love em all performances

[@louischapman1209]

No one beats Ben

[@sunnyblue7800]

Why is the westend version so much faster?

[@alsui2846]

My best guess is because it’s a performance from an awards show and they will have had a time slot within which the song had to fit, they sped it up slightly in order to be able to sing the full song. When watching the full stage show the song is done at the normal speed.

[@sunnyblue7800]

@@alsui2846 oh thats good to know that it wont be this speedy Version in westend live, thanks!!
