FEMALE COVER Words Fail from Dear Evan Hansen the Musical

[@Curly_Lioness]

“her shoess. YAS MA-MAH!”

[@TheParrys]

wowowowow Broadway needs her. I'm crying.

[@casshervas9120]

Yas

[@ameliamarchewczyk979]

Totally!

[@artbunny9199]

SHE SOUNDS LIKE VERONICA

[@rebeccawarden4633]

the sound of a supportive music group: "those shoes yes mama" * silence as soon as the music starts * all y'all are hella respectful and for good reason!! this gal's amazing!!

[@leahanimaticmations539]

Rebecca Warden her sHoEs yes mamah (lol)

[@mylesguyette2396]

I just wanted to listen to waving through a window once and now I'm here and sitting on my bedroom floor sobbing

I- This- But- I’m- *words fail*

[@justaguy1768]

So... if they ever make a version with Eva instead of Evan...

[@ohboy1098]

Justa Guy Evan is also a female name btw

[@sunnie1598]

and Connie! Eva and Connie!

[@joyfulthought]

@@sunnie1598 Okay now Jared needs a girl name...

[@sunnie1598]

umm I was thinking Sara cuz that's about as close as I can get to Jared

[@sunnie1598]

Zoe is Zo. Alana is Alan. All of the parents are the same

[@ericapaige9346]

this is one of those covers where you don't even get 10 seconds into the video but you already know its gonna be bomb

[@annareno9980]

Her vabroto is friggin stronger than my will to live

[@logansanders9307]

...Are you okay? Do you wanna talk?

[@seriphim123]

Very well said!

[@Lumaspod]

SAME THO!

[@blues_sandwich4303]

That...I felt that lol

[@wrenrix]

Well, that is sadly true

[@KETrust]

i feel like if evan's character was a girl this is exactly how it would sound and i LOVE it!!!

[@ayanna_ptx5714]

Kylee Trusty it would!!!!

[@sophianicole6188]

She can play Evan tho too. Most modern theatre people just choose who is best for the character. I would definitely go see her!

[@inbarreuben4761]

Dear Eva Hansen

[@sofiaa2482]

this is my absolute favourite cover of this song! it gave me chills, it makes me wish there were more contemporary characters as complex as Evan written for girls, because there's clearly more than enough talent out there to execute them.

[@lilyparker4414]

Yo Alguien l K

[@Maya-pk4mt]

Is there even any good ones?

[@bellarose9971]

I think Natalie Goodman from "Next to Normal" is a pretty complex character.

[@Stephanie-jv5mf]

she's the female version of Evan hands down.

[@evykohler905]

GET HER ON BROADWAY!!!!!👏🏼👏🏼

[@Justice237]

Holy damn, that belt on that "worst of me" line, that blew me away!

[@izzypearce6115]

THE DEAR EVAN HANSEN TUMBLR POSTED THIS!!!!!!!!! UR SO GOOD

[@MattyTingles]

CHILLS!!!! Wow, so so so very good!!

[@basicskellie]

Matty Tingles Well hello!

[@confectionari5417]

FINALLY a cover of Words Fail that combines both great vocals AND emotions. I mean don't get me wrong there are great covers of words fail but they just don't have the emotion from the song and the context and you did AND THAT MADE MY THEATRE GEEK HEART VERY HAPPY.

[@cara9346]

try Evan Kianne's on yt! These two are the best I've seen in not overdoing either. ;)

[@rebeckagaddam3474]

100% agree

[@jeremiahsmall9320]

I have to say I completely agree with you. This is seriously an incredible performance all around. Your vocals are off the charts and you can feel the tension and emotion. I can promise iv done this performance in my bedroom a handful of time it's never been this good. Seriously outstanding.

[@treechild1715]

Absolutely agree emotion is key lol

[@haannahaviv]

HI ARI

[@moirasogor4428]

You're a phenomenal singer and actress. This is the kind of vocalist I look up to and hope to measure up to one day.

[@mikaylabailey2577]

This is seriously phenomenal... I didn’t know what to expect when I looked up “words fail female cover” but this really exceeded all of my expectations. Your voice is so powerful and all of the emotions behind this felt so real. I hope to see you on broadway someday!!!

[@iamstefp]

Hands down, one of the best DEH covers I’ve ever heard!

[@sugar-rice]

These aren’t tears It’s Uh Liquid pride

[@cejk2044]

(Don’t mind me, the random classically trained child in the comments.) Can we all just take a minute to appreciate that this girl is belting/mixing a D#? That takes work, man! Those notes in that register do not come easy. They even tire out natural belters! And the F# in head voice came out beautifully. Take good care of that epic voice! Just a random note that has nothing to do with her performance: the annoying part of modulating male songs for female performers is that you end up in these annoying keys (annoying to play). From what I can tell, this cover starts in G# major, then switches to B major, then ends in F# major (I might be wrong). If there is a live accompanist here, I applaud them too. In summary, I applaud everyone involved in this. Wow.

[@josephalansmith9611]

Hey there! I'm a musical theatre writer and am developing a new musical and would love to bring you on and work with you on the development of the piece!!!!

[@jasmineelyse]

I never meant to make it such a mess I never thought that it would go this far So I just stand here sorry Searching for something to say Something to say Words fail, words fail There's nothing I can say I guess I thought I could be part of this I never had this kind of thing before I never had that perfect girl Who somehow could see the good part of me I never had the dad who stuck it out No corny jokes or baseball gloves No mom who just was there 'Cause mom was all that she had to be That's not a worthy explanation I know there is none Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done Words fail, words fail There's nothing I can say Except sometimes, you see everything you wanted And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had And it's right there, right there, right there In front of you And you want to believe it's true So you... make it true And you think maybe everybody wants it And needs it... a little bit... too This was just a sad invention It wasn't real, I know But we were happy I guess I couldn't let that go I guess I couldn't give that up I guess I wanted to believe 'Cause if I just believe Then I don't have to see what's really there No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than These broken parts Pretend I'm something other than This mess that I am 'Cause then I don't have to look at it And no one gets to look at it No, no one can really see 'Cause I've learned to slam on the brake Before I even turn the key Before I make the mistake Before I lead with the worst of me I never let them see the worst of me 'Cause what if everyone saw? What if everyone knew? Would they like what they saw? Or would they hate it too? Will I just keep on running away from what's true? All I ever do is run So how do I step in Step into the sun? Step into the sun

[@theatrepianoaccompaniments2147]

Great job! I think I know that pianist, too. ;-)

[@ShaylenHarger]

Theatre Piano Accompaniments by Jess Modaff OMG! This is awesome! Thank you so much for releasing your wonderful accompaniment covers online! They are a god send!

[@stefanie2178]

My heart is so broken and so full at the same time by this performance! I’m so excited to hear a female cover of this song. You did Ben Platt justice 😊

[@emma-to3ow]

shoutout to you for singing "the perfect girl" and not changing the genders

[@mckennabranson1822]

what’s wrong with changing it?

[@aaliyahetc.6687]

[@sanderssides7390]

Mckenna Branson Absolutely nothing. It's just nice to see casual representation like that.

[@shwing9760]

❤❤❤

[@rdetmorita]

Beautifully moving. I was very reluctant to hear any cover of DEH. I was so moved seeing Ben Platt sing this gut wrenching song. Yet, hearing your rendition brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

[@nathanielt9011]

wth,,, the amount of sheer emotion she put in that is phenomenal, let alone how well she sang it

[@ajrafael]

amazing

[@rebekahfaithkerr]

AMAZING. I've tried to sing this song so many times but I do NOT have the range for it. So well done. Best cover by far.

[@billyma6]

Rebekah Faith Kerr I can sing it but i have to go in falsetto half the time E: and the vibratos make me jealous

[@treychesser9273]

Rebekah Faith Kerr SAME 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@goblin7189]

Go an octave up

[@TabloEx]

@@goblin7189 I think it's more difficult to add emotion with an octave up

[@goblin7189]

Platypus it is but it helps. Just practice with no music so it doesn’t fuck you up.

[@miaballard8072]

Honestly tear jerking. Just as good as ben platt. This video deserves so many more views. I dont even have words for how good that was. ❤

[@quinnpower9508]

mia ballard could you say, words fail?

[@virgilsanders3760]

Zoe Power aw I wanted to say that guess you beat me to it

[@grayc3380]

Woah. Vocally, this is absolutely stellar. You have fantastic control here, and it sounds wonderful! May I offer one piece of constructive advice? (I’m a high school theatre coach :) I noticed that you seem to have a gesture you return to- your right hand comes up by your belly and does this circular movement outwards (hope I’m explanatory well) From an directorial perspective, it reads like it’s YOUR gesture (you the artist) and not the character’s. I also have a particular gesture I have to be careful of (I have a tendency to do a claw shape with my hand if I’m not careful), and it reads to me like that, or maybe like you rehearsed your gestures so much, it comes off rehearsed instead of as a natural extent of the raw emotion your voice is clearly showing. I’d love to see this start so still and quiet and see the gestures grow out of Evan’s increasing desperation to attempt to explain himself and real piggyback off of those powerful feelings he’s having. I know internet can read as nasty, so please please don’t read this as me being rude or critical- on the contrary, I think you sound fantastic and have a great presence and connection to this song, and I’d love to see you grow with it and keep it in your repertoire. It’s a perfect key for you, and this is a great performance. :)

[@crimbleland]

Grace Currier great comment I noticed this too

[@Lilith816]

I'm sorry if this is rude or anything! but do you have any advice for high schoolers that wanna be on broadway/ theater for a career but have stage fright/anxiety?

[@KennyBye]

the signature gesture thing is something i struggle with so much hahaha

[@ThisGurlLovesMusic]

also i wanted to say this is a beautiful cover. It's oozing emotion and I love how you sing it. I really hope you're at a performing arts school or doing this as a career because you are phenomenal. Truly.

[@mecre8tive712]

I can't think of a way to accurately describe how amazing this cover is. Words fail...

[@14yellowCupcakes]

You’re amazing. GET THIS LADY TO BROADWAY

Woah this is great. The emotion is definitely there along with your singing and that's what I find is most important.

[@tobeseve4020]

I've seen a ton of covers of this song, and 100% honestly yours is by far the best I've seen. Amazing control, you shape the notes beautifully, you keep your singing ability without letting the emotion go flat, no overuse of vibrato, actually fantastic job. Holy shit.

[@samsincavage6854]

This cover describes my passion for musical theatre.

[@hollyhales9709]

I honestly loved this even more than the original version! The vocals were so powerful... it actually gave me goosebumps.
