Singers Reaction/Review to "Keala Settle - This is me"

[@MissMoneyPenny80]

I think this is an anthem for everyone who knows what it feels like to be hurt by people, because of causes outside of your control. Beeing bullied in school of work. Or just for stepping outside your house. Beeing different than average. And Keala brings that vulnerability here too. You see her brokeness, which makes this so precious! It really spoke to me and I always cry. Every single time. You go, Keala!

[@serjoshvlogs9899]

true I've been told by my math teacher that if I don't pass her subject she will send me back to grade 1 and I just imagine myself inside a grade 1 classroom being judged by the parents of the grade 1 students I was in grade 6 at the time my math teacher told me that and that made me anxious to go to school and I've thought of doing suicide but I changed my mind of not doing suicide.

[@masonguthrie1257]

@@serjoshvlogs9899 but like passing math is something you could have done.

[@mike28003]

This is an anthem for everyone period

This performance was to get the movie greenlit infront of the head guys at Fox. When it was over Hugh Jackman said the head of Fox ran to Keala hugged her and told her she just got her first motion picture. There wasn't a dry eye in the room after this performance. the raw emotion gets me everytime

[@ayvidyan]

That performance always makes me cry. Even watching it again with you guys made me teared up. That performance is so powerful and emotional it really hits me so hard. I feel you guys! I love your genuine reactions as always. You should definitely watch the movie if you love music then you'll love it.

I have seen that video at least a hundred times, and I still cry my eyes out every single time. It's so raw and real and emotional. Imagine sitting there as an executive ready to give a green or a red light for this new musical film and you get to experience THIS!! I loved seeing your emotions, you were so not prepared for this and it made it so real. Thanks guys for another great reaction!

[@jo05dk]

First time i watched that one i ugly cried, for a while. ..and i still have a hard time getting through it without shedding tears tbh. Thanks for a great reaction guys :)

[@MsSoundguy]

When silence is eloquence.

[@sdlady1]

Now you can see why this song became an anthem. The lyrics speak to anyone that feels that they don't belong. And yes it will bring you to tears. So great to see this reaction.

[@paulajones1177]

That performance always hits hard. Keala's vulnerability is so heartfelt, then she becomes this powerhouse. That moment when she reaches for Hugh's hand, along with the years in her voice breaks me every time.

[@SmolFenFen]

Hugh was feeling it too, that astounded "ghuh" after she bared her soul to him.

[@myjiminbaby7]

I cried so hard in the first time I watched And I cried again now That was... strong

[@Husitka]

I loved how Marco was pouring his heart out for several minutes about this, and then Ali joined with "......................................................................... Good stuff... .................................................................". 😂 What a mouthful, Ali! 😉 (And yes, sometimes, there's really not much left to say.) This is my favourite This Is Me rendition. The official movie one is powerful as well, but this one feels more raw and more emotional, and that's why it feels more powerful to me. I love the energy.

[@Cindyannef]

I am so glad you guys chose to do this one. I love Keala, that woman can sing. Did you notice most of the song she was off mic, and you could still her? And while she's not used to being on the big screen, she's a big star when it comes to doing live broadway. Thanks guys, this makes me cry every time I watch it.

[@Emilaria]

Please react to Hugh Jackman's From Now On greenlight performance. It's so great, like a religious experience.

[@ilsedelacruz]

YES PLEASE!

[@justhendryk]

Agree

[@tierneybeckett]

Yes! And definitely listen to the short discussion beforehand. It's important.

[@stephanieperkins1460]

This version made me cry harder than the actual movie version...you should definitely watch the film...such great music! And a great message of inclusivity.

[@vCoralSandsv]

Doesn't matter how many times I see it, I cry. It's hope. It's doubt. It's reflection. It's realization. It's her moment and she killed it!

[@kirstenbpalmer]

This song connects on so many levels. Everyone at some point has felt broken and bruised. This song reminds us all that we are glorious in our own ways. We are all warriors, brave .

[@jeancaldwell233]

Thank you for reacting to this incredible video! If I recall correctly, Keala had only been hired to sing for this presentation to the 20th Century Fox execs to get the project green lit for production. After this, she was told she had to be in the movie. (She blames Hugh Jackman for that!) She’s normally a stage performer. As others have already said, now you have to react to Hugh Jackman’s performance of From Now On from this same workshop. Please!

[@my.business]

*Its all good...she won the award. Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song*

[@dylancole1910]

Speechless, that was me too. One of the only performances that has ever made me cry.

[@donpoole1985]

I didn’t think I was alone in how this made me feel. Glad to see proof. And it gives me hope when I read all the comments. Not an insult or negativity to be found. Love everyone for the positive energy. Music is awesome ain’t it?

[@LAAvgRay]

You know it's a great performance when you two are speechless.

[@NaKbAbY]

I audibly screamed when I saw this in my subscription box. You did not disappoint! Loved your reactions!!

[@linalu5881]

Sweetheart same

[@KayCeeTX21]

Rendered speechless. Love it. I love to watch the piano player (who wrote the song) jumping up and down as he doesn’t miss a note bc his song is coming to life in the way he intended. It’s amazing. Watch it 10 more times. You’ll see something new every second. It’s fantastic. 💥🔥😍

[@jefferypreston5714]

It takes a bigger man to cry

[@suvijii841]

"I just love music so much" was the exactand only thing I could say after seeing this. When you know you just know. I live for moments like this. Music is the greatest power of all.

[@farvista]

I was blown away too. I keep showing it to people. So amazing. Anyone who's felt like that, even a little bit, just gets it.

[@frannibarr116]

You got your one more viewer. I was a record producer back in the day and this takes me right back to some amazing sessions. This was epic and I am so thankful they taped it so we all could share in that experience! And thank you guys for knowing this was about the soul and not the perfection of sound!

[@hihiqb]

Guys it’s okay, if Wolverine’s crying everybody can cry, it’s all good.

[@atusazandi6972]

lets cry together......wow

[@theolamp5312]

If you have any emotional connection with music, this had to bring joyful tears to you. Keala is great, but this is a collaborative effort. The background singers also brought the music from their hearts.

[@sueericson1104]

Too emotional for words. Thanks Marco and Ali.

[@ingridmedendorp585]

Thank you for reacting to this. I have watched this video a lot. The sincerity in that room. And the vulnarability Keala gives us. Is what gives music its soul. It is as always so beautifull to watch the two of you “get” it.

[@berlyn3014]

Thanks so much for reacting to this video. Every time I watch it, I get teary eyed and goosebumps.

[@tink89898]

The best thing about this performance is no matter how many times I watch it I am always speechless and I always find something new to watch like this time its the piano player and his emotion in it too like its all just so real and authentic. I wish I could've been there at this time.

[@AshleeSage1998]

I bawled my eyes out when I first saw this video of Keala singing and was so moved by it. I was already in love with the movie and had seen it multiple times with my stepsister and after I made her watch this because I knew she would love it. It is a powerful moment in music

[@daftapeth1]

your faces and silence said it all, there is only one word that can react to this song, …….. WOW, I watch this clip over and over again coz the feelings I get from it are so awe inspiring, xxxx

[@Joe.Ortega]

I was lost for words through the whole video because I could not stop tearing up. Keala Settle, took everything how I have been feeling and brought it to light. I thank her and love her so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I now found my voice.

[@speakingconsciousness228]

I've watched so many reaction videos to this scene and it leaves everyone transformed, transient, changed, amazed speechless and yeah. we all agree shes a goddess

[@765garage]

My exact reaction. I'm not a crying type of guy but there was nothing I could do to hold it back. When you see Hugh's face bright red and can see him feeling it. That's right when I broke. So much power. I've been apart of a few things like this during college and let me tell you there is nothing more powerful than music a d emotion!

[@linalu5881]

Oh YAY! im so happy y'all reacted to this iv been wanting y'all watch it

[@rebeccasanabria4755]

I never get tired of this video. I feel it so much. Keala is AMAZING.

[@judithcure2255]

Thank you... I've been anxiously awaiting your reaction to this 😊

[@jamesraven1210]

Not just amazing vocal talents but what an emotional pull as well from her acting. Bless her.

[@cindimonks5661]

You're so right! It's almost a SACRED experience...there are no words to express the feelings this brings. Lovely reaction.

[@VampireGlam13]

I love how speechless you two were. both of your faces were frozen in amazement. honestly thats all the reaction I needed from you two. I seriously love how speechless you two are as I'm still typing this.

[@marshaflores2923]

I'm not crying, you're crying!!! 😭😢

[@thenerdytiger9306]

I love this version because it takes me back to my days in college doing performing arts gaining back my confidence that was shattered through high school and just reminds me of the raw emotion that's in the room when the cast hits the anthem song in rehearsal for the first time

[@kpas8652]

3:28 shows the power of music, when it takes hold.

[@teresafinch7790]

It must have been wonderful to be in that room that day, so full of creative energy, friendship, and love.

[@joshuacoldwater]

My family asks why i don’t work for a film studio, this is why, if i were in that room they could have whatever they wanted. There is nailing it, then there is this ^. She is beyond words.

[@marshaflores2923]

I cry every time I hear her sing this.

[@morgancian]

First, thank you for your reactions. We went and watched this at the cinema and me, my son, my daughter are musicians but my husband was very reluctant. This is our favorite song. When I planned our spring performance, I knew that this would be special. On youtube there is a whole teaching arc, this performance, the official lyric video, and then Keala's Oscar performance. It was a full cycle from fear to triumph and so powerful. On a lighter note, don't ever scare us on twitter like that again. My heart was in my throat. Never stop if possible, love and respect you guys so much.

[@2010luisramos]

I cried just like you did. And every time I see this video I cry. Is the passion that Keala put on it. She gave us her heart and we have the obligation to love her. Guys I subscribe to your channel because of this vid.

[@theolamp5312]

When she sings We Are Glorious - Hold onto that and remember.

[@cassie8906]

I've avoided all reactions to this because I was lagging in watching the movie & wanted full context before I watched any reactions. I watched the movie FINALLY w/ friends last night after Thanksgiving dinner (I'm in California) and stayed up all night searching the reactions that I kept seeing pop up from my fave reactors & I think I clicked yours first. I love that you owned your emotions this time, Marco...well, you always own it but I mean you stayed on camera and let us feel it with you. I found you as a Pentaholic and I rewatch your Superfruit "Rise" reaction...well, I rewatch a LOT of your PTX-related reactions but I loved how that song hit you so hard you had to excuse yourself so I couldn't WAIT to see how you'd react to this. I love that you guys didn't know anything about the song because it proves how powerful music can be & with a performance like that...you can't HELP but be moved, if not...you are dead inside (& dead to me - ha ha JK). Thanks for this, it was awesome!!! I've watched your reaction prob 10x in last 24 hrs. Love you too, Ali!! Man of few words but your face says it all. :-)

[@srslyboomer]

OMG, I clicked *so* fast - I knew this one would get to y'all. I actually didn't know a damn ting about "Greatest Showman" until I tripped over this video like 3 weeks ago, and I am now....obsessed. I have watched the segment from the movie where Keala sings this, and her performances on Ellen, and Graham Norton, and at the Oscars (holy shit, the Oscars! Aigh!) And a bunch of reactors. It's not just the song (which is amazing), it's not just Keala (who is amazing, and whose performance here is truly stunning) - it's a roomful of Broadway pros just singing their damn hearts out, at and for each other, the vibe in that room is...just...gah. (Also - watch it again, and watch the guy at the piano - he wrote the song, and you can see him realizing 'holy shit this is *exactly* how I was hoping it would sound!' :) ) Go watch the "From Now On" from this greenlight as well - and then watch the movie clips of both of them. Bring tissues. Soooo good. Just like your reaction - thanks for sharing, gentlemen!

[@coffeebean41]

If that didn't sell that movie to the execs, nothing would have! I cried like a spanked baby 1st time I watched it! Cried with you too!! So....damned.....moving.

[@caritae4821]

This reaction is the reason I watch reaction videos. Thank you for your authentic reaction. Awesome!

[@sethbowdengaming5266]

I love this reaction... I just heard this song first the first time last week and I still don't understand why it makes me feel the way I do but this is heart stopper of a song... The reaction was perfect. Thanks guys!

[@itsmetara3773]

I sure do miss your music reactions!! What a great one!

[@BOBBIE041957]

Keala never realized her talent was top notch all these years, thank God Hugh Jackman wanted her for this movie and Keala can relate to this song as so many of us she's had heartbreak.

[@theolamp5312]

Guys, if you didn't cry, I would be disapointed in you. There was nuclear energy in the room.

[@aimeemarie5462]

If someone doesnt get emotional over that, I question if they are even human. Not even just her great singing but the words to that song are killer as well.

[@e.m.3558]

También lloré con esta canción!!! Realmente emociona la interpretación!♥️

[@laurabsts3980]

You must see the cover by Kechi. She's a young woman and the survivor of a plane crush. She' s a very good singer. She was at America's got talent.

[@angie-tq4ew]

After so long, I had to comment. This was the best reaction ever for this, my favorite music video. Thanks, guys!!! 😊❤️ Edited: I had to come back to say that if you love music (and I know you do), you need to see this movie. It is the greatest movie musical I've seen in the longest time. It's good from beginning to end. Do yourselves a musical favor, and go see it.

[@Abby-us5ee]

You know a performance is GOLD when the reaction is absolutely no reaction because the commentators need time to recover.
