[@bethhe8889]

I can just imagine Enjolras skipping round the barricade, pointing at people, bopping them on the nose and singing this :D

[@casharrington3877]

I didn't know I needed that mental image until now.

[@nicola5358]

U GUYS LOL!!!!!!!! I so luv your brilliant imaginations XD

[@nicola5358]

Damn, that vision. Sooo cute!

[@bethhe8889]

The Big Bad She Wolf I love that idea!! It would be amazing :)

[@alexaliona]

YES.

[@alessanicerio4408]

Make him the voice of the next Disney prince please. Just. Please.

[@victoriawells4417]

Yesssssss!!!

[@MsEXCLAMATIONPOINTS]

my thoughts exactly!!!!!

[@graceface9455]

YAS!!!! Who though?

[@MsEXCLAMATIONPOINTS]

+Grace Talley someone hot, that's all I know.

[@graceface9455]

Ceirstyn Adami 100%

[@laramangino6797]

I never knew how much I wanted reverse cast Wicked until now.

[@smartkid2600]

YES PLEASE

[@SquishyPixelz]

YES!!!

[@madeleinebrown5]

YES OMG AARON AS GLINDA, JEREMY JORDAN AS ELPHIE AND LAURA OSNES AS FIYERO

[@laramangino6797]

Madeleine Brown YAAASSSS

[@ptrocks99]

+Madeleine Brown this is the best thing i have ever read in my life

[@bria4404]

He does this so effortlessly it's amazing, it's like he's not even trying, he just knows he's that good lmao

[@leahrichards3432]

Exactly!

[@yescooliotime]

For a true tenor, this is in the right key to be pretty well within range, but his voice is amazing for sure.

[@emilyhacker2248]

This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. A few of my favorite moments happen: running his hands through his hair 1:08, the hair again 1:25, his character 1:42, his hips 1:54, his little dance at 2:03, his attitude at 2:41, and basically the entire video. I love his face every time they do a close up shot. They need to make a CD of all of these recordings. I would definitely buy it (and not just because Aaron is on it).

[@aquariusgh0st13]

+Emily Hacker same just same

[@meaganwolff4454]

+Emily Hacker Agreed. Everything, just, yes!

[@HaleyWingate]

+Emily Hacker Yesss!!

[@allwellallgood5947]

1:42 and 2:03 is the best

[@Es9954]

also his face at the "don't make me laugh they were popular" part

[@4dultw1thj0b]

I love how the lighting is so serious in this

[@randomfangirl5442]

I feel personally threatened by the way he touches his hair.

[@JamesTan0360]

+randomfangirl sensually harrassed

[@majastenstameyes]

read that comment just before I saw it. Illegal.

[@madisonkennedy5908]

same

[@alalichariefaaaliyahc.1474]

Yes

[@Curlyjoe71]

He’s kind of aggressive about it, right?

[@almondtart]

Wicked but everyone is played by Aaron

[@lemonjelly6121]

amanda beronilla yEs

[@xcupcakexheartagramx]

I’d see it!

[@soytupeorpesadilla2151]

YAS QUEEN

[@juliamellett]

It would still be stellar

[@airabelle]

hold up ur onto sumn

[@LaurenOrion]

*Aaron touches hair* ME: I just came here to have a good time and I honestly feel so attacked right now

[@soytupeorpesadilla2151]

REAL PLEASE, ITS. JUST. FUCKING. REAL. GOD

[@96NSW]

Something that I love about Broadway actors, and it seems to be something that you find in Broadway actors but not actors who can sing, is that they have stage presence when they sing to the point where you can't just listen to them because you have to watch them if that makes sense.

[@errant.samurai]

Though I love Kristin's version and I missed her little screams and laughts, I have to admit this is pretty amazing! Man, what a beautiful voice!

[@Pheelyp]

+Sofia Zelco MY GOD THAT VOICE.

[@thewoodchuck1865]

Of course, Enjolras would know all about being popular.

[@adonlan194]

Love this😂😂😂

[@hajimeoikawa1892]

this comment is gold😂

[@sofiarosececilia]

IM CRYING I LOVE THIS

[@wanderer9419]

But he wouldn't know how NOT to die.

I imagine a really cocky royal prince who’s trying really hard to be nice, but he ends up insulting the person he’s slowly becoming friends with.

[@isyanaya2406]

I'm laughing so hard that's true 😂

[@sleepysteev2735]

This is giving me Prince Naveen vibes.

[@LP-NYc]

He played a great Prince in One Royal Christmas

[@AkariIto]

Aaron: "I *know* about popular" Me: of course you do

[@hanlsub]

fr

[@meikyuuhoshina]

He should be Fiyero in the movie adaptation of Wicked

[@bymeerabrowngothicroyal]

Agreed

[@flavahcatg]

of course

[@4dultw1thj0b]

I like Aaron, but he's had his fun as Fiyero, he doesn't need to do it again. I'm rooting for Okieriete Onaodowan to get the role.

[@yahtokraft2634]

ooor, and hear me out, DAVID KLENNA

[@4dultw1thj0b]

Y5hto Kraft You mean Derek Klena? Yeah, he's really not what I have in mind for the role. Joshua Henry would also be an amazing casting!

[@ezra2086]

Enjolras teaching Grantaire about how to overthrow the government with popularity

[@orawolfgram2838]

When I tell you this made me choke on my water...

I would recommend this video if you want a visual for it kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn-0eoWYfKerg6c

[@JazminPC]

How come none of us knew we wanted this until now?!

[@decentgrocerybag4003]

EmCovers bitch how about me I was even 2 years too late for this comment

[@JulieDelahooke]

He's made this song sound sexy

[@TamannaDas]

He makes anything sound sexy

[@abialston8476]

he needs to be a Disney prince please

[@lisetteshiffer4073]

Prince Eric in the live action Little Mermaid??

[@mattbates5320]

If you watch this on mute, it kinda seems like an emotional spoken-word piece about politics or something by a rugged rural dad from the 80's.

[@erikabautista7072]

Matt Bates it does! 😂😂😂😂

[@CielaWestcottHale]

It's just Enjolras/Apollo showing through :D

[@sir.cumsalot]

MY dad

[@mars-nf9cj]

It’s his inner Enjolras shining through

[@samanthakl447]

I'm sure everyone who liked this comment tried this lol

[@TheAmityElf]

Everyone's calling him Enjolras, and I'm just like, "Gabe...Gabriel!"

[@liviacohen419]

FIYERO

[@TheSugerplum45]

I laughed, then I cried

[@obscureshawty]

BAHAHAHA

[@hopefulromantic4660]

YEEEEESSSSS!!!!!

[@yurushiko2721]

AmityRavenclawElf still too soon

[@sadmeme7012]

*hears first note* WHEN I WAS A YOUNG BOY no, wait...

[@paulakruger281]

Same, fuck

[@acrosstheuniverse8354]

SAAMMME

[@TotosRedSlippers]

+sadmeme that g note

[@annelarracas5202]

same!!!

[@bethpearson1743]

Yep

[@JokersLover90]

Yup, I'm going to marry that man.

[@acrosstheuniverse8354]

Hate to break it to you both, but Aaron and I are already happily married 😊

[@teenelf]

Sorry kids, but he was married to me from far before ;)

[@garethrobertson1738]

+Bex S. Why does it make you sad? Thats like those who saw him in rent going off on one because of those who know him from hairspray. People who started loving him from Grease may have never heard of him before, then they get to watch such a great show and fell in love with him. Having a "I was here first" mentality is ridiculous, I only heard of him when I saw the first #outofoz having watched Les Miz and not knowing who he was in it, now i'v watched pretty much everything I could find on KZbin. Instead of being sad because he's getting bigger and more respect for his performances be happy that his fan base is growing.

[@teenelf]

Bex S. I will confess that I was first introduced to him by Les Mis... I got out of the cinema and rushed home to find all I could about him. :) It doesn't really matter where did we first saw him, what matters is that his incredible talent is admired and shown to everyone.

[@jenc8562]

+Bex S. since Next to Normal and Catch Me If You Can. and Graceland hahaha

[@amandarajnauth8732]

Ugh, I’m so obsessed with the way he enunciates

[@alyr228]

The way he says "Don't be offended by my frank analysis" ugh beautiful

[@tati172]

And let's face it, who isn't less fortunate than Aaron Tveit?

[@KoneeKawa]

I'm so glad they didn't change the pronouns

[@CyanBurry]

+extremedumpling Oh my god part of me dies when anyone does this to any song.

[@yosoyconsuela]

Aaron covers a lot of songs that were originally performed by women and doesn't change the pronouns.

[@Emma-lo6bz]

extremedumpling people who change pronouns in songs are weak and clearly super uncomfortable with themselves lol

[@YewLeviosa24382]

i hate when ppl do that esp if it means parts of the song don't rhyme anymore lmao

[@aquament]

I really don't think changing the pronouns in a song, as long as they don't change a rhyme or couplet, and the song still remains true to its integrity, I think its fine. Example: When Robin de Jesus covered breathe from in the heights.

[@erikabautista7072]

That "La la, la la" sounded so perfect like omg i cant even. I wish Aaron would do the whole performance, with all its dancing and little quirks! Im sure he'd be great ♡

[@itsUnicole]

i want him to sing as long as youre mine!! (a proper recording like this)

[@bymeerabrowngothicroyal]

Same

[@erwindavedahao8462]

Who sang that song?

[@ActionTalk1]

I'll be curious to see how "For Good" turns out. If and when #OutOfOz gets to it.

[@katiecandib7135]

I'm pretty sure that they already did it

[@bymeerabrowngothicroyal]

I am curious to see how As long as you're mine💙💚🌾📖🏰🔮 on #OutofOZ

[@javarielewis7257]

+GS79 Same, that and As Long as You;'re Mine. 2 of my faves along with Defying Gravity

[@TheATeamPLL]

+GS79 It is perfect and all we could all wish for!

[@alsalsabila]

They did it! With Kristin and Idina, it's truly perfect!!

[@lyffiewalen]

When he started singing, I literally stepped back I was so blown away by his voice.

[@midwestmatcha]

Why did I have a vision of Enjolras singing this in the ABC cafe, while trying to recuit people to building the barricade?

[@katherineshideouslaughter]

Enjoy kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn-0eoWYfKerg6c

[@effie3348]

all I can hear is enjolras to grantaire

[@lovechronograph]

DUDE SAME

[@kaylamcook696]

I was thinking Enjolras to Marius but that would work too. Lol.

[@erikw.s.5209]

Kayla M Cook lbr, if anyone in Les Mis would be singing this to someone, it'd be Courf to Marius, while curling his hair and telling him about how great Les Amis are.

[@MrPigglywiggly9]

here you go! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn-0eoWYfKerg6c

[@itiswhatitis123]

gotta love nyxrising for that ^^

[@sophkarps8246]

* heart eyes *

[@embvrry]

why does he remind me of Damon Salvatore in this omg XD maybe it's the way he's widening his eyes and then squinting them... or just the fact that he's singing about being popular

[@annakocol7116]

Reminds me if Stefan more 😂

[@julianecaina]

I think Ric😂

[@samtooms1514]

I think a hint of enzo aswell

[@lih1203]

geez! why am i imagining damon, stefan, ric and enzo as enjolras now????

[@katinkakruse1797]

Someone write a tvd/les mis crossover. I'd pay to read that!

[@NuhanHidayat]

i was shy auditioning for Glinda, but after watching this. Fuck it! I'm Glinda!!!!

[@abstru214]

this is something i never realized i needed in life

[@glecyrances1874]

Literally Enjolras when he's supposed to plan for the rebellion.

[@cch5ng]

this is a really fun video. it is not just that Tveit's voice is so pretty but his mannerisms throughout are so playful and acted out so thoroughly in character (but not overly done).

[@ThirdEdit]

what a perfect little cinnamon bun

[@shinydany77]

Has anyone watched THE DUFF? In that movie, the popular guy helps a girl become attractive. And he takes her to the mall to buy clothes and stuff... I can't stop thinking about Aaron as the popular dude trying to help me buy some clothes for a date or showing me how to flirt with boys XD

[@BellaRose-qp6ux]

yes exactly

[@kezziahvalentino2450]

OMG look even he can't help but dance!

[@withalittlehelpfrom3]

Anyone think he could be the next King George in Hamilton?

[@jessicamacdonald5151]

I'd love to see him do any of the roles in Hamilton!

[@mlsher85]

Pusher Love Man Not as a straight white man, he can't.

[@withalittlehelpfrom3]

Mandi Sherwood Actually, that's the only non-ensemble role he could do! The current and original Broadway King George, Brian d'arcy James, is a straight white man. Although there is a white swing for the Broadway version as Burr and Washington whom I saw as Burr. He was great!

[@sarahjrose]

YES 🙌

[@nicolecosta567]

I just love how all the comments in this video are just Les Mis fandom spam

[@emilyfox3738]

I love his little dance. Its like dad dancing

[@kpriol9384]

I can't even describe how good his singing is...

[@foenixedits7326]

I wish Aaron would write his own songs! His voice is incredible

[@monkiram]

I've watched this a ridiculous number of times, so funny lolol

[@idgamingfederation202]

just watched Aaron Tveit in American Horror Stories, I couldn't put my finger on where I new that face, but it dawned on me and I nearly leapt out of my chair. nothing thrills me more then randomly stumbling across musical royalty in other media, still giddy over Sophia Anne Caruso in Evil, and Alex Brightman in Law & Order: SVU

[@decentgrocerybag4003]

Enjolras: I know, I know exactly what you need. And even in our case, though it’s the toughest case I’ve yet to face. Don’t worry, I’m determined to succeed. Follow my lead. And yes indeed. You Will Be Popular. Jolly: How is this going to help the revolution? Grantaire: This is exactly how you help a revolution.

[@Liruzhen]

Aaron is a beautiful and talented young man. He is a joy to behold.

[@JekyllJekyllHyde14]

i cry every time i see him. he's amazing, he's perfect, he's my number one favorite actor, im crying right now. im watching graceland only because he's in it, i watched grease live only because he's in it. I made earrings of his face, one of them with him as enjolras and the other with him infront of the rainbow background. can someone tell me im not crazy

[@manuelorozco7760]

Wicked in Concert on PBS sent me here. Never thought I'd see the day a former Fiyero be singing one of Glinda's songs. Tevit has a great voice

[@amyhannah4153]

So cool to see a different spin on this song! Good job, Aaron! Xx

[@bavarian_bitch_]

I could actually see a guy in the role (just this song) he kinda sounds like a gay best friend here and I love it.

[@emmamaki1397]

there's an episode in season 6 of glee where kurt and rachel sang this and i totally get what you're saying

[@lexspazz]

RunawayScarsxxx that's the first thing I thought of when I heard this song lol

[@isiIwen]

I only just found this and can't stop watching. Masterful and hilarious at the same time! Love how he acts it out with his facial expressions and body language!

[@marymaddalo8488]

Just realized this was uploaded on my birthday. Greatest present ever.

[@brenobikenobi]

Okay but the little bounce he does when he sings, "We're gonna make you popular!" is my entire lfie. He's such a sweet looking guy, I love him.

[@ptrocks99]

Oh my gosh first Les Mis now this....

[@graceface9455]

IKR!!!!!!!

[@EllieCheng]

Aaron tveit is going to be the next Disney prince and George Blagden is going to be the prince's love interest

[@graceface9455]

Ellie Cheng YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lemonjelly6121]

Ellie C. YESSSSSS

[@Dani-it9vc]

Y'all have OBVIOUSLY not seen Next To Normal because damn he's amazing in that show. That musical is amazing in general but y'know.

[@TheCyeahpau]

I just found this 2 days ago and have watched I at least 100x.... why was i so late!

[@nahrenneno9975]

As an actor, whenever I sing I always act and watching him do the same thing is so cute

[@mathildeduche4659]

honestly he’s iconic

[@davidanthonymanibo6854]

He looks like a younger version of Matthew Morrison/Will Schuster

[@amystarhunter7862]

+David Anthony Manibo there isn't actually that much difference between their ages Aaron is 32 and Matt is 37 haha :)

[@Creativemonster23]

yeah, he actually does😄

[@manuelorozco7760]

Funny considering they are both former Link Larkins

[@rosepratiwi6532]

He always makes every song more beautiful

[@LaurenOrion]

his shirt makes me feel things

[@Prettygirlcn5]

Okay, but can we just talk about the first 2 seconds of this vid when he’s smoothing his hair and how he already got me 😍💁🏽‍♀️

[@JamieMarie23]

Simple: I see Aaron Tveit, I "like"

[@blanchefan]

Oh, Aaron, teach me to be popular--please! He is so charming-- :)

[@KenBernardez]

This song always reminds me of the song Chip On My Shoulder from Legally Blonde musical.

[@nicoleloomans5908]

Fallen in love with his voice since watching Les Miserables. Such a great singer. Aaron Tveit is amazing

[@mrs.meaney1748]

"protest your disinterest"....ohhhh sooo pretty!

[@mrs.meaney1748]

2:50

[@Deloreandiva91]

When Aaron put his hands through his hair like that, I had a moment. Damn he is so talented and very easy on the eyes. What a voice 😍

[@marisolvaldez7173]

Oh my. Running the hands through the hair. Small gesture, but hello...swoon. He's beautiful.

[@jofacosi]

I have been listening to this song for 3 days. Aaron is amazing, a perfect singer and a great interpreter. I wish he had a starring role on a big blockbuster musical movie, totally deserves it.

[@coconrain1983]

Oh goodness Aaron. ❤️that voice is beautiful.

[@lumieredarling]

his EYELASHES are so long i can't stop staring at them

[@TristanandIsolt]

Nobody can do this like Kristin. She just has that brilliant comedic actress and timing.

[@TristanandIsolt]

It's fun to hear Aaron do this song for a change of pace.

[@SilverGallowglass]

You should watch Nick Pitera

[@davidfathom3051]

Kara Lindsay?

[@asnalelo.165]

0:47-0:49 he sang that phrase so beautifully, i’m gonna cry.

[@abbyfellows1716]

I'm speechless. I didn't know Mike Warren on Graceland could SING.

[@mollyknight6807]

He's a Broadway star!!

[@mollyknight6807]

He's a Broadway star!!

[@loraschrock2864]

+Abby Fellows He was in the Les Mis movie.

[@jena074m]

what an effortless singer!!

[@savannahtownes7782]

Anyone else wish this video had better lighting? 😂

[@sandrahu5619]

The soft lighting is perfect!

[@EmilyGrumbine]

I never knew how much I needed this. I simply adore watching his hand movements, and the little chuckle when he sings "offended" is perfect. Oh, Aaron...

[@musicislife9804]

If he doesnt end up being a Disney Prince I will start a revolution

[@bitchass7198]

Music Is Life The reason Disney princes sound the way they are is because Disney hired Broadway writers to write their music in the late 80s continuing through the rest of the Disney renaissance.

[@adambriggs6969]

After hearing Aaron sing just one song (either this one or Defying Gravity) how can you not fall in love with him…He puts the A in AWESOME!!!

[@charlotte9394]

All I can see/hear is Enjolras XD

[@YAllen-nn1md]

Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I And let's face it, who isn't less fortunate than I? My tender heart tends to start to bleed And when someone needs a makeover I simply have to take over! I know, I know exactly what they need! And even in your case Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face Don't worry, I'm determined to succeed! Follow my lead And yes indeed, you will be Popular! You're gonna be popular! I'll teach you the proper poise When you talk to boys Little ways to flirt and flounce Ooh! I'll show you what shoes to wear! How to fix your hair! Everything that really counts to be Popular! I'll help you be popular! You'll hang with the right cohorts You'll be good at sports Know the slang you've got to know So let's start 'Cause you've got an awfully long way to go! Don't be offended by my frank analysis Think of it as personality dialysis Now that I've chosen to become a Pal, a sister and advisor There's nobody wiser! Not when it comes to Popular! I know about popular And with an assist from me To be who you'll be Instead of dreary who you were Well, are There's nothing that can stop you From becoming popu-ler... lar La la, la la! We're gonna make you pop-you-lar! When I see depressing creatures With unprepossessing features I remind them on their own behalf To think of Celebrated heads of state Or specially great communicators! Did they have brains or knowledge? Don't make me laugh! They were popular! Please! It's all about popular It's not about aptitude It's the way you're viewed So it's very shrewd to be Very very popular Like me! And though you protest Your disinterest I know clandestinely You're gonna grin and bear it! Your new found popularity! Aah! La la, la la! You'll be popular! Just not quite as popular as me!

[@corneliasohl5427]

His voice is so pure omg

[@masonheitner8410]

I love this guy so much, one of the more talented singers in Les Mis (2012). Not to be weird, but he has my heart.

[@ameliae8128]

This could only be improved by a little flouncing around.

[@Michael_Killey]

The run he does on shrewd at 2:39 gives me life

[@1Drakorn]

If they ever make an English adaptation of Elisabeth, I really want this guy to play Death.

[@JordanElaine8]

I just finished Graceland on Netflix, so this is kind of wigging me out. LOL. But what a voice!!!

[@Michael-wp2vq]

Soo.... Why didn't he play Glinda?

[@pbague]

This is my favorite song in the entire musical, and Tveit is one of my favorite singers ever.. needless to say, I cried

[@BethanyGraceMusic]

this series is making my life

[@linajurgensen4698]

Just found this guy and he already attracts me so much...
