Some enchanted evening - South Pacific - Brian Stokes Mitchell - 2013

[@648233]

There are no words to do justice to Brian Stokes-Mitchell's performance! Pure excellence! And Reba's reaction at the end - that wasn't acting!! Be still my heart!!

[@kimber1066]

Amazing singing by Brian, but Reba's sigh at the end is also a shop stopper. Wow.

[@jayusn-et2231]

This song is so much more touching/romantic when sung by a gifted Baritone.

[@robertnavera9548]

Brian is the best baritone i have ever heard all my life. Listened to his rendition again and again and again.

[@flylooper]

You haven't listerned to enough baritones. Which is not to say this fellow is bad. He is VERY good, in fact. Really, I learned years ago to never use the superlative when describing artists. When you do that you rule out so many other wonderful artists.

[@theoriginalmomomike2869]

Brian Stokes Mitchell has such a powerful baritone. He makes it seem effortless. And Reba is clearly smitten.

[@MoneyAli75]

whats her full name, I wanna look her up on ig

Hell,I’m smitten. Lol

she's never been sung to like that...

[@wizpopr]

I performed this song in High School. I don't think I'd want to do it again after hearing this.

[@kennylim136]

I love her face glowed as if the song really touched her heart. Bravo....thanks for sharing!

[@raykilroy1950]

This guy's singing and acting abilities just blow me away. What gifts he gives to his audiences. I hope he stays humble. It would be easy not to be with that talent.

[@eye4talentnyc]

The man can sing. He can sing anything.

[@markbilldebkevin]

You can tell how mesmerized she is.

[@selinatan5290]

The most beautiful baritone ever! South Pacific, Man of LaMancha, anything he does.

[@brookeggleston9314]

You’ve not heard the late Tim Nolen

[@arlenecarruthers6713]

i met my husband across a crowded room and this was our love song and brian sings it the best i have ever heard.

[@kimandrews6106]

I like this post. I sing it well too. (my wife thinks so, and a few others :-))

Love to the both of you

Can't help expecting Frasier fuming some where in the audiance 😂😂 This is beautiful 😊❤

Brian Stokes Mitchel has been Blessed with an incredible gift. And no doubt he worked hard to perfect it. And we are blessed to hear it.

[@stellajennings2265]

Still watching this beautiful rendition of this brilliant song.👏👏👏

Or have limited musical taste.

[@dragicaferderbar440]

Must be completely deaf or just enjoy being negative.

[@martinphilip8998]

Or envy his talent. This was the music I heard growing up. The radio was always on.

[@maryleone2023]

I love, love, love Brian Stokes Mitchell. He is such a marvelous baritone and makes the perfect Emil in South Pacific. His voice was meant for "Some Enchanted Evening " and "This Nearly was Mine". If a movie remake of South Pacific is planned, Brian Stokes Mitchell should be first in line for the role of Emil. He also should be first in line if a remake of Man of La Mancha is planned.

Beautiful heart touching tear jerking song

[@ruthhellkamp926]

absolutely enchanting.......what a magnificent voice.

[@iloirtimusiikista]

This is the best performance of South Pacific I have ever seen! Everybody was great, but Brian Stokes-Mitchell, Reba McIntyre and Lillias White were magnificent. Also, I can't think of another musical that has so many memorable songs!

[@naomin5284]

Oh my gosh, look at the look on her face!

[@OLOHEKAI]

Whoa, solid performance Every time I hear this song I remember performing it back in school with corn starch in my hair to make me look more mature… It moves me still

[@voicemad]

We all love the Pinza version. I must say it is lovely to hear Brian Stokes Mitchell singing. He is our modern Pinza

[@DrPapa5]

Best performance of this song I've ever heard.

[@quinnbenz987]

voice so deep you feel it in your bones

[@reggiechin230]

A breathtaking, drop dead, killer performance ! Bravo Brian !

[@hughscot]

What a tremendous voice.

[@DannyDep17]

Rodgers and Hammerstein are absolutely my favorite song-writing duo along with The Beatles...... enchanting..... "Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing, You may hear her laughing across a crowded room, And night after night, as strange as it seems, The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams." Can't help my eyes tearing up every time I'm watching the movie or listening to a performance of Some Enchanted Evening.. and those are tears of overwhelming euphoria from this spiritual higher consciousness journey i am blessed to have found. So many wild and crazy dreams begin to tantalize my emotions, like maybe I've died and already gone to Heaven. 🌹💖 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@gemini730lory8]

💙🙏

[@Recipro1]

Have listened to Some Enchanted Evening since the late '50s to just about any singer who could utter the words and find that Bryan Mittchel's version here is absolutely the very best through all my years of listening to my favorite song.

[@stellajennings2265]

Wonderful singer the whole performance was fantastic.👏👏👏

[@JudgeJulieLit]

To paraphrase another South Pacific song, there is nothing like his baritone.

[@micharomanowski3824]

of course there is someone, Cesare Siepi ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKWxc4GDht9mick

[@BillofRights1951]

Stokes Mitchell is terrific. I saw him in Ragtime when it was Broadway bound, playing in LA at the Shubert. Perfect voice...and he gave 1,000% to his performance that night.

[@hotquebec]

What a voice,

[@matthewhoffman9788]

Saw this performed live and years later it is still just as wonderful a performance.

[@garyroberts3859]

Simply wonderful

[@vickicrew8417]

Across many states I'm hearing this and missing him so

[@flylooper]

Such a touching lyric. Oscar Hammerstein was so good with words.

[@XprPrentice]

There's so much to love about this version. His voice is to die for. But the way she looks at him is also to want. I can understand how his Emile (or all of us) could fall for this particular redhead. (Legend tells us that we all will do it at some point.)

[@abbey9428]

OMG THATD BE HEAVEN

[@sj0152]

What a marvellous performance. This is as close as it gets to a remastered version of Pinza's original recording - equally deep, powerful voices, the same orchestral arrangement.

[@genej8828]

WOW! That blew me away!

Incredible.....I view this as in the words of Petrakis, " To ease the agitation of my heart"....simply magnificent

[@harvey1954]

Just looking at Reba's face at the very end and you can see she has had "the wind taken out of her sails". The last thing you see is her gasping for air after being taken on Brian Stokes Mitchell's roller coast ride.

There’s no such thing as a ‘definitive’ performance, except maybe for this. Reba knew it, the audience knew it. 😎🎹

[@gispeon7429]

For anyone who needs it here are the amazing lyrics to this amazing and beautiful song. Some enchanted evening You may see a stranger, You may see a stranger Across a crowded room And somehow you know, You know even then That somewhere you'll see her Again and again. Some enchanted evening Someone may be laughin', You may hear her laughin' Across a crowded room And night after night, As strange as it seems The sound of her laughter Will sing in your dreams. Who can explain it? Who can tell you why? Fools give you reasons, Wise men never try. Some enchanted evening When you find your true love, When you feel her call you Across a crowded room, Then fly to her side, And make her your own For all through your life you May dream all alone. Once you have found her, Never let her go. Once you have found her, Never let her go!

[@jamesrafferty9048]

Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger, You may see a stranger across a crowded room, And somehow you know, you know even then, That somehow you'll see here again and again.
