"Take Me or Leave Me" - Keala Settle & Anika Larsen w/ Michael J Moritz Jr on Piano

[@rautaranka]

Keala is so inspirational! She’s shy and gets anxious about performing, but she does it anyway because it’s what she loves to do, and she shines through every time. I relate to her as a person, and she gives me so much strength to keep working towards my dreams no matter what. Amazing!

[@jesssunshine1130]

Katy우리코 watch her rehearsal of the greatest showman! It made me cry! I wish I could tag but it pops right up!!

[@malin434]

I’m glad she does it because her voice is insane, a true talent

[@mikemills7246]

Had no idea she was shy and anxious? That is inspiring to others who want go get in the arts but are afraid their personalities will hold them back

[@LittleHeirloom]

That growl from anika was so good

[@MichaelJMoritzJr]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@quincymangi8899]

I had to rewind and watch that again

[@georgiathompson5457]

The growl and grit in Anika’s voice is phenomenal- one of the best renditions of this song ever!!!

[@trentsoto6852]

My god, Anika’s tone is so incredibly pure and beautiful like it almost sounds auto tuned that’s how good it is. Especially the pet that’s like “who’s in your bed” like that sounds so good I cabt

[@pyrs-spam]

i always come back to this because of how Anika Larsen sings "I'm" in "that I'm your baby". That slight note adjustment really changes the meaning of that line so much.

[@AmieMariah_]

Kealas facial expressions are everything 😂

[@anaherataare9608]

Amie Mariah agreed 😂

[@katiepie3009]

Kerala IS everything

[@MichaelJMoritzJr]

Thank you for watching!

[@Minnieque]

Amie Mariah I said the same thing!!!!

[@SUPERSTUDIO17]

KEALA is such a star OMG

[@anna.b2401]

Dat pianist was getting really into it though

[@MichaelJMoritzJr]

Hard not to when playing with these powerhouses :)

[@mikewolf5367]

Totally agree!! Three stars were on that stage. It’s a shame there was no musical break so he could really cut loose and shine more with embellishments.

[@CrystalNicole13]

Annabanana 2401 fr lol 🔥😏😂

[@valeriesiqueiros656]

Ha. Seriously these two almost blew my tiny speakers out! Lol love it

[@MichaelJMoritzJr]

They are so incredible!! Thank you for watching :)

[@Draagennak]

I get goosebumps when Keala sing. She's amazing.

[@mikewolf5367]

This was perfect! Keala is a gift from above.

[@woolyvaro7814]

Judging by her facial expression, Keala does NOT want her girl hot

[@emmamurray941]

Every time I watch this I always say this comment now 😂

[@user-ee7kb6sf5g]

How is that not a gif 😂 holy fuck I cant breatheeee

[@menzelsstars3568]

[@jilliancharles3399]

Kerala‘s facial expressions honestly give me life... I love them and her voice 😍😍

[@MichaelJMoritzJr]

They are so electric together! Thanks for watching!

[@sydneyella493]

keala is such a star

[@seanmurphy4407]

i saw keala settle during the hugh jackman concert. she seemed very timid but she killed it singing "this is me"

[@Balin93]

The look of pure joy at 2:24 is what it's all about.

[@Jackie-McCann]

OMG YES KEALA! SLAY IT! 🤩

[@MichaelJMoritzJr]

So good!!!

[@sarahmartinez2060]

I love how different their voices are but go so amazingly together😍😍❤️❤️❤️

[@pamelasilver2622]

WOW! These women are incredible!!!!

[@loveulaterproductions2169]

[@JenAyyyyyBean]

I'm waiting for the day Keala sings to me

[@mariam786_]

Always remember Idina whnvr I hear dis..... She's perfect😍

[@shannondavis6310]

I'll take 2 hell of a singers for 1,000 Alex. The answer, Anika Larsen, and Keala Settle.👏👏👏😎

[@MichaelJMoritzJr]

So amazing! Love their voices together. Thanks for watching :)

[@annwat5293]

Needed more Ke'ala.

[@orion8835]

THIS is how this is done . #slayed

[@ilichiregius2884]

It's crazy how the wind instrument section sitting behind Keala have to just sit there like they're having the worst time ever.

[@CelticsYouthMovement]

Wow they're both amazing!

[@MichaelJMoritzJr]

Couldn't agree more. Thanks for watching!

[@orxven1551]

keala is me when someone says I’m jealous of them but I’m not.

[@crose7512]

That was so freakin awesome...

[@MichaelJMoritzJr]

Thanks for watching!

[@YaoiHoshi]

[@MichaelJMoritzJr]

Such talented superstars. Thanks for watching :)

[@islandeatssand684]

I feel like this is always just such a fun song

[@handlesiro]

Love them all 💖

[@pie4215]

THIS is everything!

[@yeracontra]

When I saw the video title I was like WHAT YESSSSS

[@musicaldramaqueen]

Well, that was MOST excellently performed! I would have switched the ladies though.

[@apc2851]

Anika was a Maureen understudy in 2000, which is why she sung it here. She also made the new riff the first time she went on :)

[@Paigeturnernyc]

-that was amazing!

[@MichaelJMoritzJr]

Such incredible performers. Thank you for watching!!

[@redwine1980a]

Thats the part of USA I love so much :)

[@ocktohpus6264]

1:28-1:30

[@plot1twist2]

I love the piano! Beautifully done! Perfect energy!

[@zazuzazz5419]

That was beautiful!!!

[@williamlucas456]

Amazing

[@mindya1799]

Keala is like 5'3". Anika is in stiletto heels and barely clears her. Just how tiny is Anika?

[@crimson2knight]

This makes me miss the show. Damn

[@mary200]

this is amazing truly it is but i think the original will forever be my favorite, this one just didn’t do it for me. but i’ll admit 1:28 was 😍

[@awesomeasiagarcia8105]

I've seen the movie so many times, the play on Broadway once, but ya'll gave me chills. Go Originals!!!!! Love yous, sound amazing.

[@221BSam]

Wow, love this so much!!

[@MichaelJMoritzJr]

Glad you enjoyed :)

[@catstorm2007]

Keala more!!

[@misssuestar5]

[@maryjensen5310]

Goosebumps.

[@pamelasilver2622]

Best version of this song!!!

[@MaryBridgetDavies]

IS EVERYONE KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?! 😍😍😍

[@gabrielekavaliauskiene6554]

So powerful and artistic

[@marioz2332]

I actually think this might be the best version

[@CrystalNicole13]

my face hurts from smiling!

[@simplyspeculation8259]

Idina, sashay away. This is the best version ive ever fricken seen.

[@mikewolf5367]

Wow! 🥰

[@LoV24601]

Okay, surely I'm not the only one who knows Keala needs to play Joanne at some point!

[@MichaelJMoritzJr]

Thanks for watching :)

[@mikewolf5367]

Abso-friggin-lootly!! Put Rent back on Broadway!

[@richardmuise7251]

Wow !!!!!!

[@JoaquinHerraez]

I was born in 1993 and I died at 1:28.

[@MichaelJMoritzJr]

Glad you enjoyed the video!!

[@matiaspalesalmeida8998]

Keala is very best

[@TheCryptKeeper8]

so much more powerful than the film clip i just watched.

[@danielordonez4308]

Those growls though

[@actorben]

Where's Maureen's leather pants? They're iconic!

[@yusuppurnama1372]

1:28 I AM SHOOK

[@carmelorichardson9610]

OMG....NICE

[@kj8645]

Ooooohhhhhh, dammmnnnnnnn...just Keala's first few lines when she begins...dammmnnnnnnn! What a vocalist...maika'i, chicken skin, hui! ✨🤙🏼✨

[@crsbcn007]

Just saying, Keala should have been Joanne in RENT on FOX. Wasn’t feeling the Joanne they cast and Keala was already there... so

[@babyrocasmama]

Keala was so underutilized in that production! She could have saved it, but the producers and casting director were complete tools!

[@aaliyahaldc3760]

Shan G she got cast as a minor character you have To remember she needs to play a younger character and Joanne is an “active” character I don’t think that at her age and weight she could do what’s required for the character live every night

[@CyanAnn]

@@aaliyahaldc3760 weight is no longer an excuse, James Monroe Iglehart did just fine as the Genie in Aladdin

[@aaliyahaldc3760]

CyanAnn his weight is in muscle not in fat

[@Platinum400]

@@aaliyahaldc3760 The original Joanne, Fredi Walker Browne has a similar frame to Keala so your point doesn’t make sense at all.

[@naturally.sadiera216]

💕💕💕

[@richrule53]

I fucking love Keala 💜💜👏

[@PianoDisneygal10]

I think I’d’ve died at this performance.

[@Alex-nf1jy]

1:54 lmfao her face in the background . she reminds me so much of Raven

[@angiewagner9232]

QUEEEEENNNNS

[@KillerRem]

Damn her growl makes mine seem like a "meow"

[@_rogue_]

Wow this wifes are great 🙏

[@soopersalad2509]

she almost sounds like my friend who played maureen esp the beginning

[@hjamarba]

1:54

[@lillyt4692]

Keala ate her upp!! So much better!

[@drswager81]

Keala settle I love m

[@voiceappeal]

Kealas face at 1:30 lmao

[@SDLRob]

That wasn't just bloody good... It was bloody good FUN as well.

[@elizabethcorpuz2236]

fuck yes!!

[@iago07]

One issue with this song is that it’s TOO MUCH Maureen before Joanne comes in. It’s a little weird...

[@LucianaSantosFranco]

Misericórdia vai cantar assim lá na ponte que caiu kkkkkkkkkk

[@ChristineNZ23]

this needed more diva

[@WerdnaNiraehs]

I didn't know Shakira did Broadway.

[@emmaltheriot]

OH MY GOD

[@matthewrandell5055]

xD brutal

[@rushaned.2867]

Tabris Fru Lar neither do you. But yet who is the millionaire her.... while you’re a youtube troll.... sad.

[@TabrisFruLar]

R.D you wish. You don’t even know me or why I do or how much money I’ve got. So... I feel really sorry for you. But guess what? I don’t care about you at all. You’re pathetic.

[@rushaned.2867]

Tabris Fru Lar says a sad low life youtube troll. You suck.

[@mimiparker3528]

I thought that was Idina Menzel 😂😂😂

[@TylerVarneyTV]

Rayna Pierce bitch where

[@mimiparker3528]

It kind of looks like her from afar and she sounds like her a little bit but she’s just as good!

[@christiankovacs2829]

adele dazeem doesn't do this, sorry.

[@carlycchapman]

@@christiankovacs2829 I mean she was in the original Broadway version as Maureen, so

[@lilfishey96]

Why do they both look kinda pissed

[@annemargarettesanoy7463]

That's the point

[@devigarcia3782]

Keala is me gay panicking

[@quintonbunche3091]
