[@foreverjynxed]

I love hearing the little changes in the lyrics from the first run through to the final version. :) "HOw do you get this gold shit off?" Is still my favorite random line in any song.

[@aasngs]

everytime she sings usnavi I want to cry a little bit!

lolol they are just perfect

[@pippagerber-stroh1105]

When I first saw this I thought it was like a high school production or something! I've gotten so used to long-hair Lin! 😂🙌

[@SquiggyAmy]

I know he looks so young

[@nzraya]

I meant to say about this song too....it is one of the many authentic "New York moments" in the show that I wonder how many outsiders get. I was living uptown (not Washington Heights, but Hamilton Heights, basically an extension of the same neighborhood...) during the Blackout of 2003 and I remember how much longer it took them to restore power to WashHts than anywhere else in Manhattan. That "I went downtown to get it" speaks volumes to those of us who remember....

[@gabriellamorales3155]

HOLDUP HAMILTON HEIGHTS? SHI-

[@areyoucereals]

HA! I didn't know there was a Hamilton Heights as well 😂*cough* Like father like son *cough*

[@Orholam5]

wish they had left it in the movie....made no sense to remove it

[@ed167]

I love how Lin puts 100% passion into even rehearsals. His work is special.

[@chantelvanderveen9786]

1:12 A pair of Lacamoire eyes appear!

A WILD LACAMOIRE APPEARS

[@babyzillakilla]

I feel like Lin was that kid in highschool that said "I'm gonna do big things!!" And then that one guy said "ya right, you're going no where" and then when Lin made this he sees the guy in the audience and gives him the finger during curtain call.

[@billypuntove]

VolaxHD Lin is way too nice for that. If that ever happened, rest assured he wish them luck in their life & continued to do his Lin thing

[@elenalopez5181]

VolaxHD he was indeed bullied in high school

[@xxdarkknight420xx2]

What? Is there an article about that? If so, would you be so kind to share me the link?

[@areyoucereals]

Wait, Lin was bullied?! I knew about how he felt like he never fit in, but not that he actually got bullied. Yeah, could you share the link, please?

[@4kids3cats85]

It's in one of the Hamilton Mixtape videos.

[@kkslider3506]

In the beginning the way Lin looks at Karen, you can tell he's so involved in playing Usnavi he GENUINELY looks in love with her im fine :)))

[@claireericee]

lol that's how lin looks at everyone

[@christinestevenson4482]

Lin looks at everyone like they're the most special and important, and it's wonderful.

[@cerotoffy]

Lin just makes everyone feel good

[@mitch464]

Oh that's just how smol lin is

[@sierraestrellita]

Okay but I don't blame him. I think everyone is just a little bit in love with Karen

[@snazztasticeagle8952]

first of all: Lin with no goatee wow that's crazy. second: Lac on keys!!!

[@Ledezma1996]

I love how Lin is so professional and even in a runthrough it is easily seen that he is doing it with a 100% of his heart

[@AddisonRamirez]

this video gives me way way way too many emotions to function

[@aebeberdick]

+Addie Ramirez same omg

[@isabellanebs22]

Addison Ramirez me too

[@peggyschuyler1888]

Same...

[@SaffronGrey]

Sooo weird with different lyrics. But, yo, that little bit being played afterwards, when Lin snaps... sounds like the the start of Lin's preview of Hamilton at the White House. I seriously thought that was starting after.

[@bellamarkarian222]

Karen Olivo needs more recognition. I love her voice, it’s gorgeous

[@SocialistSadako]

"how do you get this gold shit off" the most iconic line ever. love it. i seriously got chills listening to this again. damn. what a legend.

[@maleahjoi6887]

I was crying up until 2:47 with Lin's "uh" 😂 smol

[@vvbanks]

When your video has been on the internet for nearly 5 years, has over 30,000 views, and NO thumbs down. #BossStatus I LOVE In the Heights!!!

[@zai.8462]

[@atlasprdx]

2:22 Lin little tapping at the part where the kiss is supposed to be and his puppy face after that looking at Karen I can't even, protect this human

[@NinaTuxbury]

Karen's voice is AMAZING! This video literally made me cry.

[@Sophieste163]

I cried. And smiled. And squealed. And just got warm fuzzies in my tummy. I miss this show and this cast and ugh you're all amazing.

[@tigeyavengerpotter8276]

Thank you

[@godswiph]

What blows my mind about Lin... this is already good. But, he still went and made changes and it got 10 times better. How, Sway? HOW???

[@VaderVibes]

Small Lin reminds me of Cory from boy meets world.

[@Chebowlier]

yeaah me.too!!!

[@theatregeek7695]

Lol

[@caseym5004]

I really miss this show being on Broadway. Probably my favorite Broadway experience was watching you and the original cast perform. Inspiring.

[@blakedunckley]

Lin looks so small and young omg

[@claireverdoorn2474]

Young Lin just brings me unstoppable joy.

[@ElsaLouiseSinger]

Idk what it is, but I'm just stumbling upon this and this whole video gives me joy. I really can't put my finger on it, but I just fricking love it :D

[@EmbraceTheInevitable]

I absolutely love the way she says Usnavi. Can’t get over it

[@WelcomeToTheScene1]

SO SMOL

[@DougKaplan]

I love the changes you made to this song that built up to the kiss at the end, really built that crescendo. This version is awesome but you never stop improving and I love that.

[@notcharlieeebrown]

This is my life in one song and baby Lin is so cute I want to hug him like omg omg to cute.

[@juliakim718]

"I think Sunny has the cups'' line's me fav😂❤❤❤

[@isabellanebs22]

as amazing as this show is, I like this song much better with the big beautiful booming chord progressions accompanying the actual soft melody. I really wish they had done that in the actual production, but still this whole show it just too beautiful for words and this video makes me feel all the feelings

[@Jarrod005]

Karen is so magical and so is this video. Thank you

[@dqDST1913]

When I figure out how to live my artist's dream without having to worry about supporting myself or being scared of the unknown, I'm coming to find you and thank you. Goddamn you are awesome.
