Sara Bareilles and Drew Gehling // "Bad Idea" from Waitress

Sara Bareilles "What's Inside" Concert. 11/05/15
Skip to 1:39 for the song

[@minsunkang7264]

"hold me close while i think this through" sara: literally touches his arm for one second audience: *WILD CHEERING*

[@harutarosaur]

"this is their..... well, you'll get it." BEST description ever 😂

[@sadcake2868]

drew deserved at least a tony nomination for his role

[@TravelwithTasha393]

Waitress came out the year Hamilton was blowing up all over the place. If it was any other year he would received a nomination hands down.

[@icymoons]

@@TravelwithTasha393 Waitress would have won a lot if it had opened on any other season but Hamilton's. They're both great shows and it really is just unfortunate.

[@JM-lh8rl]

Natasha Jean Sort of the same thing happened between Catch Me If You Can and The Book of Mormon. CMIYC would've had more success any other time, but it seems like that's the way things are sometimes

[@rbwirth12]

This guy's voice is much better suited to this duet than Mraz. Mraz has a great voice, but it's too close in pitch to Sara's so it's not as readily noticeable which voice is the female or male. Just an observation, and not a criticism.

[@feliciang3047]

+rbwirth12 I think both Drew and Jason sound good. Drew gives it more oomph and Jason gives it harmony :)

[@gsgstree]

+rbwirth12 I definitely noticed that, too! Their voices blended almost a little too well, but I'm still obsessed with both Jason's and Drew's performances.

[@VegHui]

Didn't Mraz co-write though?

[@rbwirth12]

No, she was the only credited writer for the entire disc.

[@titefred2]

+Jia Hui L They're just really good friends, so he helped her record the duets for the album version

[@xxobrittanyg]

Andrew Garfield can sing really well, wow.

[@byebyebye2203]

AwkwardFritatta u don't get it, do ya?

[@xxobrittanyg]

AwkwardFritatta I know 😂😂

[@stephpiano2908]

I JUST SPIT OUT MY WATER

[@moldyoranges5655]

New thing to pay attention to for you: the dude on the drums LOOK AT HIM GO YOU’RE DOING GREAT HONEY

[@gs427]

I KNOW RIGHT!! I WAS MESMERIZED TOTALLY FORGOT TO WATCH THE SINGERS!!

[@amandavosk]

roses are red i love sweet tea the song begins at a minute forty

[@iwontbesilenced2321]

thank you sister love you bye

[@nadine264x]

Bless you

[@rino2451]

thank you

[@ABeautifulLife116]

I love Jesse Mueller too but this is my all time favorite version of this song. Sara and Drew sound so perfect together that I'm a little sad he won't be in the new casting with Sara's Broadway run.

[@ricksaxe3120]

[@staceyk2274]

I think he's going to be in a few weeks!!

[@ultraviolentromantic]

they’re both going to perform on september 2 !

[@rubydoe2881]

i saw sara and drew together last night. they were both great

[@PeterMcDowellArts]

but yay they are together in the filmed version!

[@michelleboon7646]

Sara is so lovely and charming...with a potty mouth...which makes me love her as an artist even more....not at all a surprise that she is creative gem and writes such captivating music.

[@Bella-kr7bl]

if you squint and don't look too closely, the drummer kinda looks like andy samberg

[@TamannaDas]

He does!

[@liina-maijajylha2871]

comment of the decade

[@maddisonclapham7974]

I was thinking the same thing!!!!!

[@YouWouldntStealABag]

Omg yes

[@mellowday6909]

Or a Mark Zuckerberg with different hair lol

[@DivaandtheDivine]

Hands down my favorite song in the show. So good! Sara belongs composing for Broadway.

[@iluvfirenze89]

That's appropriate, because the show "Waitress" was a bad idea from the start. No one wants to see a show about a lousy waitress when they visit NY. This show was dead in the water before it ever went up against "Hamilton."

[@Scorpionisthebomb23]

iluvfirenze89 funny, when I went last weekend it was a full house. But I thought nobody wanted to see it? 🤔

[@emmaburke725]

Scorpionisthebomb23 Yeah I’ve had to wait till August to get front row in the West End 😂

[@chloebrattain5880]

iluvfirenze89 that’d odd, since all my theater friends wanted to see it on the tour. just bc you don’t like it doesn’t mean other don’t lol

[@kikkigeron2479]

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the drummer? His facial expression is priceless, looks like he’s enjoying every moment 🙌🏼

[@kayliemancino6269]

I liteRALLY thought Sara said "I'm your baby coming" AND I WAS SO CONCERNED LOL

[@chrisl2466]

Get use to Drew because he is Broadway bound.

[@iluvfirenze89]

So you're saying that we have to get used to seeing a skinny, bird-like geek on Broadway? No thank you.

[@syd7290]

iluvfirenze89 wow...

[@LeopardAzure]

iluvfirenze89 you know he's already been on Broadway, right? He was in Jersey Boys. You can even see him in the 2013(?) Tony Awards. And obviously he was in this role too

[@ThatsMforyou]

iluvfirenze89 if that's a skinny bird i guess im into skinny birds

[@nathalybabushka5564]

@@iluvfirenze89 body shaming? Gift

[@alexs.3383]

Glad to hear Drew is coming back to Waitress, even if Sara will be gone by then

[@cjsmith1402]

Whoa, this earlier version of this song is pretty similar to the version that's in the actual show but definitely not the same!

[@alisonfool]

CJ Smith instead of the "I got a wife, I got a husband. I'm your doctor, my dumb baby's coming" Its the "iIiiiIiiIIIIIIII KNOOOOWWW ITS RIGHT FOR MEEEEEE ITS THE ONLY THING IVE EVER IVE NEVER DOOOONEEE WHAT IF I NEVER SEE MYSEKF EVER BE ANYTHING MORE THAN WHAT IVE ALREADY BECOME" I think XD

[@kmhornak]

Ahhh, saw this Saturday night on Broadway. It was fabulous! Drew has amazing blue eyes that sparkle under the stage lights. I'm in love.

[@tonetemple-morris8587]

Kelly MHor Did you see Drew in jersey boys, because him in those red jackets...OMG! 😍

[@daysfanatic0407]

My favorite musical number from the show. Glad I got to see it twice in Cambridge.

[@emilyscharf4656]

+Colleen Evans I saw it twice at the A.R.T. as well! I'm so excited to see it on Broadway some day!

[@johnbraithwaite7075]

That’s an astonishing performance. Breathtaking musical skills and so emotionally charged, in such an intimate setting. Would’ve been overwhelming to be there in that room and see it live.

[@prisillareyes4662]

Really great song. Drew is like a hot geeky guy. I'm falling in love with him lol. I need to see this musical!

[@AllieRawlings]

I feel like this song is going to be a hardcore dance number. It makes me want to get up and run lol.

[@melissagreene4174]

Well, they do run!!! Lol

[@Jeshiae]

The transition from 3:37 onward gets me every single time. That section is why this is my favorite rendition of this song (that I've had the pleasure of listening to).

[@laurenredding1419]

I don't think I'll ever get over this

[@charlottetaylor4880]

OMG THE JUMPING AT THE BEGINNING. BLESS

[@gabrielpasini999]

THIS LADY IS SUCH A GODDESS I LOVE SARA SOOOOOOOOO MUCH

[@rach6088]

this video had a real chokehold over me during the first lockdown

[@ariannatamanini1411]

Can't wait to see them perform it together on stage now that she'll replace Jessie *__* Oh wait, I live in Italy and I won't get to see anything unless a kind soul puts a rehearsal on youtube or they make a DVD.

[@LasEstacionesDelCorazon]

Arianna Tamanini I feel this!!! I love Sara and I would do anything to have the opportunity to watch her take over the role. She is going to be fantastic

[@madelinejohnson7257]

Ok but Sara is literally the most relatable person

[@KimberlySullify]

4:17 - on repeat!

[@starcats350]

Sara's voice is perfection

[@lunamoonbaby4865]

Was so, so lucky to catch Sara in the role in the West End at the beginning of the year. She's exquisite. 😍

[@theblackcat2792]

TBH every person who played doctor pom pom and Jenna are amazing 🖤🥧

[@raxacoon]

"it's a tale as old as time -" "-older!"

[@Mistyandfire2]

She's perfect!! This is my favorite song out of the whole musical.

[@colferification]

Saw them together live earlier this month and it was magical

[@minsunkang7264]

Chaotica Neutral me too. and yes it was.

[@beeameme9729]

This is literally the only song in the whole show I listen/have listened to, I love it though!

[@bethsmart4971]

She really reminds me of Gina Linetti from Brookly 99...

[@llamaparty8441]

This song is my ALL TIME FAVOURITE they both slay my life

[@nghnnn2991]

Oh god I'm in love with Sara Bareilles

[@cygnus53]

That drummer nailed it

[@mrsflo580]

Henceforth, we are not interested in these stage duéts WITHOUT THE KISSES. Thank you

[@emmasmith3657]

I saw him perform with Jordan Sparks on Broadway in November for waitress!!! IT WAS AMAZING!!😍💗

[@bsusak09]

Their voices sound incredible together

[@OrangeSmoothify]

I love the person who says "oh no" at 2:07 XD

[@tillimon8654]

The proshot is out guys! And they're in it together.

[@madelinegazzarari48]

I love Drew Gehling!!!!!!❤️

[@apriljade9962]

Here coz they finally perform this on the show. My Jenna and Dr. Pompom are back!

[@chelbeytrump2744]

so excited to see her in cleveland this year !!

[@ethannavarro943]

I appreciate that either they messed up or that they made it different

[@elenigalanis3645]

This was an early version, the official version has changes in it

[@kaylahemmo4125]

my new fave video

[@jbsgk55]

I really appreciate that her voice doesn't swallow his, even without any mixing or effects.

[@AdriMaccMusic]

SO GREAT

[@tozzilil]

Was so awesome to have seen these two in London

[@ca112]

I was totally transfixed by the drummer for the whole song!! 🤘

[@TakeMeOrLeaveMe08]

i just think it's hilarious got much she swears i love her so much

[@dezireezy]

FABULOUS!!!!!

[@CaseyReads]

Drew is so underrated!!!

[@ahappytravis2176]

perfect duo weeee! :D

[@lillianrule9660]

I love how they can just look at each others different the audience will go wild

[@marelamare]

He is SO freaking CUTE

[@SarahMcAsey93]

I like this SONG.

[@lucyalbaumann]

SARA IS THE CUTEST PERSON EVER

[@grainneocruhuir6383]

It’s funny seeing how much this song has changed. One of my favs though 👌

[@Skiiohru]

In love.

[@paigefalor1529]

Whoops almost forgot to watch this today

[@devanbeauty2911]

Good God, his hands are HUGEEE

[@LadyNichet]

Well you know what they say about guys with big hands..... ...... Extra large gloves 👍🏽

[@maddiewilliams8635]

where'd sara get that suit though i want it

[@AggroBear]

I still like Jessie Mueller better... still my favorite song of the musical though. That and When He Sees Me. Top 2 by far.

[@danielwesolowski9430]

The beginning of this reminded me so much of a Bad Lip Reading

[@mollyg2303]

Seeing this show tomorrow

[@alisonfool]

molly gru on October 15th with Drew and Betsy Wolfe. Excited

[@raymondsmith657]

They are both beans, they are my beans. I only share on days of the week that don't end in y.

[@wvan1174]

I love how awkward she was at the beginning 😂

[@VegHui]

The blue pantsuit reminds me of Hillary Clinton. 😄

[@kyragrayc]

Singing starts at 1:39

[@hannahjoy333.]

*I’m new but gOd Drew is cUTE*

[@willt.9654]

Has Sara said anything about playing the lead role herself?

[@titefred2]

+Will Thompson Yeah, in her book she says she didn't feel ready theatrically to do the role herself. And she was really involved in finding the lead role that would suit the character.

[@ms.marvelous8156]

+F Dombrowski I think she'd be awesome for the part and I hope at some point she'll portray the lead

[@SEH221]

+Sarah Wright there's a possibility of her doing limited engagement some point?? Sting was in last ship, Billie joe Armstrong in American idiot.

[@broadwaygodess630]

She's taking over in a few months!

[@justme-ew3ri]

Gabriel Tzukishiro I'm glade someone else thinks this because i like Jessie a lot more

[@KrazyKllysKornr]

She drowns him out😔, even on her album. They could have turned his mic up to help with this version. Sara is an AMAZING composer AND singer, but sometimes I feel like she pushes her voice too hard.

[@kayfollz]

Kelley Dickinson I totally agree! I think she isn't used to singing with people so she doesn't balance her volume with these things. I'm hoping it changes for her run at waitress though!

[@KCain2019]

Kraz3y K3ll3y's Korn3r truthfully, while it is her personal volume, this sound level problem lies with the sound mixer. They have prep before the concert that lets the sound person mix the levels properly... while yes she isn't used to singing with another person, the audio person should be able to hear that they aren't meshing and adjust it accordingly, but obviously he/she hasn't.

[@adamrusmisell5470]

While there is an issue in mixing, I think we tend to hear Sarah pop out more because she's the higher of the vocal lines. And the background vocals aren't helping that either. Also it looks like everything's on one stage too. I think you get the jist of it though. I love this song and what Sarah adds and how Drew responds creatively.

[@commakazee]

I think another issue is mic distance, you can tell Sara is more used to the mic cos she's very close to the mic, whereas drew had more distance when he should be getting closer

[@logangreen6107]

I have to agree, this always seems to be a problem in theatre. I really wish that Drew was louder, love him! ❤️

[@natasis09]

That’s Rich on drums!!!!!

[@corrinamullins6419]

Music at 1:39

[@DrumminAlaina]

I WAS HERE FOR THE EXIT GODDAMIT

My goal in life is to sing this with my husband

Nah the vid starts at 0:00 the song starts at 1:41

Or I coach YOU sara . I am simply fine as shadow too;) hear my prayer for you ?!

You're my doctor Drew! haha

ANYONE HERE BECAUSE THEY'RE COMING BACK TO BROADWAY?!?!

[@evab0beva]

1:37

[@thegypsysoul]

Seriously how good is Sarah if this is better than Jessie.......

[@alisonfool]

Aaron Smith she wrote... The.

[@WenbruReviews]

OK, I’ll take him…🌹

[@divineguidanceable]

So sara bare, I have this idea of staging waitress: you sing and get dream voice cast, then cast each character with two dancers dipicting the light and dark side of story, like: this number has the dark in rapture and the white couple being polite and pragmatic

[@DrumminAlaina]

Man I really wanted Drew to Moonwalk for the exit...

[@guillerminadonoculini6172]

I love Sara but when she sings I can't help notice she is indeed a pop singer, not a musical theater kind of voice--- not nasal enough. I also feel like she sings over Drew here and I adore his voice and wish I could hear more of him. Anyway, great performance anyway but my favourite Jenna till this moment remains to be Jessie.

[@dianaanonymous5794]

Unpopular opinion (i think): I prefer Jessie Mueller. Please don't kill me. It's just my opinion.

[@TamannaDas]

Not unpopular

[@ryaneolivia9265]

I really don't like the idea of Sara playing Jenna instead of Jessie.

[@katekooper4447]

Katharine McPhee was the best,!!!

[@mishaseeff]

Kate Kooper totally agree!!$

[@Wjwbros]

ah dam... it's a great performance but would've been the best with jason mraz xD

[@alisonfool]

Warren Chan luckily for you... The new announcement xD

[@teavukos8319]

hm... I like Ben Platt better...
