Sara Bareilles, Darren Criss, Tituss Burgess, Norm Lewis - If Only (Little Mermaid Hollywood Bowl)

[@bellam.5906]

I've never thought about Darren as Eric, but it fits perfectly!

[@MatSwim94]

that "she has gone" from Norm Lewis always gives me chills

[@AnaxErik4ever]

*giggle* Darren Criss makes a great Prince Eric, and it's great to see Titus and Norm again in the roles that made me fall in love with them.

[@tunedude19]

darren cris is already a disney prince

[@sweetiebuttons3498]

That's Darren Criss?

[@lucy8473]

norm lewis blew everyone else out of the water here

[@megpruden20]

Basically! And Darren was trying to sound as good, but he cant sing period!

[@lucy8473]

***** um bye girl, that was not what I was saying. to say that darren can't sing at all is just plain untrue. I was just commenting on how amazing norm was, take your negativity elsewhere

[@mrduetdude6715]

There it is. This. This is my favorite comment ever.

[@megpruden20]

Lucy Miree Um, NO girl I'm not going anywhere. I was agreeing with your statement and adding my additional comment. And I call it like I see it! MY opinion. In life, the TRUTH hurts. Whether it is the good, bad or ugly. It is NOT always sunny in Philadelphia..

*slowly grabs popcorn*

[@Cutekitty858]

200 years were added onto my lifespan by Sara's voice oh my goodness!

[@marinaouranitsas1908]

They should have gotten Sierra Boggess, she really was the best Ariel on Broadway

[@musicaltheatrefan2k226]

Yaas Christine Daae

[@sarahcannell3352]

Titus & Norm hands down crushed it!

[@shawnp1344]

Norm and Tituss were the best. Sara's singing was beautiful, but i did notice that her stage presence kind of lacked. She really fits in well in this genre and i am sure she will just get better and better

[@andreadimayuga]

Shawn P in all fairness, this is the point of the show/movie where Ariel is the most vulnerable. So maybe it was an artistic choice.

[@KatyCrash]

Aww, Sara Bareilles! Lovely. Nice adaptation from Sierra Boggess. Two of my favourite women. Love it. Okay... Shout out to all of them, they're all amazing. Darren makes a great Eric. Great to see Titus and Norm in their roles again

[@justincaelas]

Beautiful I love Darren Criss and Sara Bareilles so much!

[@melodiehenry8141]

Darren Criss is my favourite person ever. I fucking love him so much

[@SimoneBamboo]

I swear- dozens of air balloons floating towards the sun glowing in my chest 😌 Bless whoever uploaded this. Every time I listen once, somehow it ends up being 5 times.

[@bluebellthompson1993]

Je ne m'en lasserai jamais ... C'est tellement magnifique

[@libscorp1023]

Thank you SO MUCH for recording this, I watch it all the time

[@charchaz00]

damn darren aced that last note

[@michaelgabrielraphael9554]

Love Norm Lewis...LOVE!! I saw JCS on NBC and he was GREAT! NBC needs to do another musical with Norm as a LEAD role...Please NBC!!!! :)

[@raomzk]

This performance is wonderful ♥ Loved it!

[@unfinishedmelodee1689]

I can't believe I didn't get to go to this show. I'll always regret not making it happen. Thanks for the videos.

[@libscorp1023]

this brings tears to my eyes. So beautiful.

[@megpruden20]

EDDDDIIIIISSSOOOONNN!!!!!! Killing it on Scandal and on stage with his vocals!

[@caelep]

they're so amazing ugh

[@PianoDisneygal10]

So much talent! Thanks for uploading this!!

[@cassandrafaithstrand9372]

Here’s my wish cast for Disney’s Live Action Little Mermaid so far Sara Bareiles as Ariel Darrin Cris as Eric Norm Lewis would reprise his role from Broadway and Titus Burgess would reprise his role from Broadway

[@avargas22295]

thank you so much for uploading this!

[@bernardrichards9247]

Oh man, Sara was MEANT to sing this! Thanks so much for sharing for those of us poor folks who couldn't make it!!

[@edlebarron1873]

sE

[@Marciestclair]

I really hope they make this into an album!

[@joanahenriques8863]

Sara B. and Darren Criss together?! I might die o.o

[@ConMan-ye4ou]

All right, now that we’ve got that four-part harmony out of the way...

[@sweetiebuttons3498]

I love this Eric

[@PatriciaFaust]

Norm Lewis ftw!

[@LewToons]

shoot. just watched the jodi benson version. but I think Bareilles actually did it better :/

[@firstnamelastname5331]

OMG Lewtoons!

[@gregoryjorge1038]

If only another SB was chosen, By SB i mean Sierra Boggess but Sara Bareilles was wonderful

[@momoprime4797]

So can Titus get some fucking screen time please. They literally never put the camera on him.

[@ceslestrialfairy]

AmaZing. It reminds of a Pocahontas song

[@marjoleintje1993]

her look reminds me of a Greak Goddes :P

[@nancybotwin]

I'm trying to figure out how many of these views are mine. An embarrassing amount for sure.

[@pallafox]

i don't think this is DArren's style of music. he was good in hedwig, but he is having a hard time singing here and he was flat all the way

[@charchaz00]

pallafox he said himself that he struggles with vibrato and isn't classically trained, he tried his best and that all that matters, think they casted him for resemblance of the character and celeb impact tbh

[@clownfish22]

Phantom of the opera Hollywood bowl

[@corinnebeltrame7932]

Sara is also singing this lower and Darren does better in a higher range and I think that’s why he’s struggling. At the end when he’s singing in a different part of his voice he’s much stronger.

[@heylinsworld6673]

Hmmm I know that he was struggling to hold the notes here but, like, he famously sings Disney songs at all his gigs so I don't agree that it's not his style of music. He's done a pretty good job in the past.

[@agoroyagoroy517]

this song is new!!! is this song is added to the upcoming live action film the little mermaid

[@nathanclift9519]

tweety carmona the song was written for the musical. Because Glenn Slater was not hired as the live action lyricist, the chances of this song being used are slim. But I hope it will

[@ghosty4]

I really enjoy Sara Bareilles' voice. I just don't enjoy it in this.

[@kaylabevacqua3869]

this would’ve been so much better without sarah

[@atocox166]

No idea that Sara Bareilles lived in the 2000s, or that she sings. this Disney movie -like music is very interesting to my ears.

[@noelymedina2739]

Yeah she was born December 7, 1979. But she hit mainstream in 2007 with her song "love song" if im correct she started singing when she was younger and she went on tour with maroon 5 when the band was called kara's flowers...

[@notgoinnowhere]

Ato Cox you didn't know Sara Bareilles was alive?

[@cassandrafaithstrand9372]

Sara Bareiles should be casted as Ariel in the Live Action Little Mermaid, Darrin Cris casted as Eric, Norm Lewis and Titus Burgess would Reprise there Broadway roles in the Live Action Little Mermaid

[@DanielMCrane]

Not impressed. She was straining and pushing up top

[@Koraraj]

Can Sara bareilles just not. She is ruining a beautiful song

[@elsheets6526]

Au Chum I agree! She’s not singing it like Ariel. She slides too much and makes it too much like a pop song.

[@musicman7416]

Daren criss ruined the song by not knowing the lyrics. He should NOT...

[@momoprime4797]

It's such a harsh class between Broadway and pop styles. They surrounded her with people with more theatrical experience which was a bit unfair.

[@mugrad25]

Her voice is too deep
