This a great comment but we don't talk about this guy 👀 (No, no, no)

[@sundownsahara]

Disney really needs to make more roles and songs like this for altos.

[@youngheejin_1227]

Yes, not all sopranos should be hyped

[@sundownsahara]

@@mashajacaranda807 Yes, a villain role inspired by a drag queen. But I mean more in general, not one every 30 years or so lol.

[@sundownsahara]

@@mashajacaranda807 I know that, it's not a problem, but my point is that there are women with naturally lower voices, not just drag queens. Times change, there's no reason operas, disney, and others can't change the "rules".

[@KingOfGaymes]

@@youngheejin_1227 no need to bring down sopranos to uplift altos, all are good

[@graceelena]

I'm pretty sure Isabela's song from Encanto ("What Else Can I Do") is also an alto song! (Cover on my channel and I'm an alto 😄)

[@Nevermore-xf2sy]

I'm a 33 year old trucker and I look the stereotype. This is secretly one of my favorite songs. It makes me cry and it makes me wish I could give you a hug. Btw I absolutely adore your look and your voice.

[@TheInvisibledesign]

Love this ☺️

[@kryssardo8249]

Hey ! I AM SENDING YOU A BIG HUGE HUG TOO!!

[@rons9404]

I'm 33 too. I'm singing along as well. ❤ Love this song

[@hernandoescamilla2681]

Comments like these are why I pay my internet bill.

[@limitedhangoutlive]

Lol, same. My wife makes fun of me because I love dumping the Disney songs in the car even when the kids are not with us. I wish they designed the character more like Jessica though because she fits what they were going for and she's super pretty.

[@diogoroque4106]

It's like Luisa has found her moment of relaxation after the final of the movie. Congratulations on this outstanding performance.

[@tangyorange3463]

I commented !!!!

[@RiniDiamandis]

it makes me feel lke it's how she sings it when she's alone w the donkeys and doesnt feel to put on the hard exterior for anyone. she sounds so exhausted and defeated and close to tears esp the first verse.

[@GlamrockChicaYTChannel]

Honestly, Surface Pressure and What else can I do Were my favorites

[@micahparham3829]

Literally every time you sing the jazz version.. there are LITERALLY… no cracks… no breaks… no mistakes…. Like….. effortless alto… literally NO pressure your voice sounds SO free and controlled man…. Jesus

[@Javiii1000]

Clever Comment🤣

[@Princessitaandreita]

I see what you did there 😏

[@sylvesteruchia5263]

😂 😂 😂

[@EladTheBad91]

Its terrible lol you deaf

[@KevinLGlory]

She got a ton of notes wrong though...pretty anazing how the movie got someone to sing it without intonation errors, unless if they autotuned it.

[@fionann4569]

I love how deep her voice sounds but its so soothing to the ears.. Not everyone could sing a song with deep tone

[@Solace6428]

It's people like her that have helped me to embrace my own voice. I'm an afab person, and have a fairly deep voice as far as women go. I used to always pitch it up to match ever other woman's more. But the more I see women with beautifully rich, deeper voices, the more I'm coming to embrace my own. I can't get enough of it

[@Hood133]

Honestly Jessica Darrow really looks like a 20s jazz singer. Cool!

[@jadechen3016]

totally agree

[@breehartt6490]

Totally! But a 20s jazz singer that is free to be real and drip drip drip that water! 💧

[@ginahanford3020]

I’ve been to jazz club, they typically look the part. She’s 🔥 though

[@Intrepid_Crusader1096]

In a way she sort of is a 20s jazz singer. It is 2022 after all.

[@juliawashburn675]

We are in the the 20's lol.... again! 😉

[@baconfromheck27]

I appreciate that they included the angle where you can see the drummer thinking to himself "damn, she's good" at about 2:40

[@Angel-hn1th]

[@JustusScottJr]

[@JenniLeigh81]

Am I crazy or is she just freaking gorgeous? I adore her character in Encanto, and hearing an alto voice like hers is such a treat - then you look at her and it's like, DAMN.

[@anarchist_parable]

Ok she rocks that short so so well and is truly imbued with "the swag" 😂

[@breehartt6490]

100% agree! She is actually my favorite character in the whole movie. Proud of Disney for branching out a little.

[@mikeosayawe4348]

Personally I'd pass but the song is good. I give her a 5 out of 10

[@micahparham3829]

“Y’all, drip, drip, drip” literally almost broke my iPhone from screaming “yaaasss and punching the air”.

[@MirandiLuna]

It's amazing how well she carries the whole song without any bells and whistles, just her voice and the support of a single instrument (played by another amazing musician).

[@allieinwunderland9681]

As the eldest of 6 sisters and a brother, this song hit my soul HARD. Literally brought tears to my eyes.

[@emperortiger7207]

[@sandravacca5464]

I prefer the the jazz version but both are so amazing. She is amazing!

[@AnaxErik4ever]

Hey honey. I love this artist too. Doesn’t need the mix board to back her up. Nice to hear her lyrics more clearly, holding her own with bare bones accompaniment.

[@mikeyg751]

She should perform poor unfortunate souls. She got the perfect tone and range for it. 😍

[@AOMartialArts]

Why isn't this pinned? ☝️

[@lilaallen7449]

I know you didn't expect to be an anthem, but honestly you stood up and spoke for us. You defined our struggle and we love you. Mom of a child with severe disabilities and you made me feel powerful and strong. Thank you so much. You made me believe I could survive.

[@thisismyname3328]

Ok, this is definitely my fav version - I think the original fits the character/plot and the disney archetype, but this fits the voice way better!

[@Valandar2]

I love how you are also interacting with the audience. Singing directly to specific members, pointing at them ans smiling as they applaud, and taking as much positive energy back from them as you gave in the song. This wasn't just a great job as a singer, this was a great job as a performer.

[@marisolchou7637]

I like that she sings with very light music so that it doesn't drown her out, and the backing tracks don't overwhelm her amazing voice.

[@HRMLadyArtemis14]

Somehow both a completely different song, and yet also exactly the same. A PHENOMENAL performance

[@m.k.wagner8523]

I'm so thankful to encanto for exposing me to you, I never would have discovered such talent but now I'm hooooooked. The voice, the vibe, the look, some people just emit swagger and uuugh the richness of your voice byeee

[@katelynt1508]

I agree! I'm such a huge fan now.

[@mrscarter6279]

Yes I’m a grown woman and I squealed when I saw the title of this video …. I’ve been a “Luisa” most of my life … dang it I’m tired 😫

[@AshesPashes]

I'm both Luisa andIsabela. I have to hold everything up, but my sister thinks I'm so perfect and everything has always been handed to me. But in actually I had to be perfect because she was such a screw up and I couldn't put more pressure on the family and now that I'm older I have to do all the things. I take care of my family and my mother and it's like pulling teeth to get my sister to help at all. It's annoying!

[@blackbartthepoet3820]

[@karolinapupi19977]

@@AshesPashes oh wow! I feel with you so much!! This is my life as well, I give my all to my family and my sister does nothing and things I'm so perfect and that I just know how to do things out of thin air. She does not understand how long it took me to do things right, how much effort it takes. She doesnt care, and decides to just not do anything. For context, she's 20 doesn't have a job, wont even go to the grocery shop on her own, while I at the age of 14 was already cooking dinner for a family of 6 people and cleaning the whole house by myself as both our parents were full time working till 8 pm...

[@aviancewhitman1901]

the confidence, the delivery, the freedom, the embodiment of character, ugh just amazing omg

[@jeffreygerber7771]

The songs lyrics are pure Genius, the timing of its scene in the movie balances the entire movie, It's the one song that shows the whole strife of the family and at that moment when Luisa is done singing and Mirabel rushes in for the hug the audience gets to see and feel the theme brought together from beginning to end. I 've heard it performed in the Jazz version several times and JD is amazing, But I would love to see her perform it in other styles.

[@commandermercury6654]

She pulls off the sound and vibe of an old jazz singer so well and, might I say, she looks absolutely gorgeous. ❤️

So good!!! Will never get tired of this song.

I love that raw jazzy sound. That song is very difficult song to sing because it changes keys like 3 times and there's so many different intervals that change in the song. The song nearly goes completely up and down the entire scale. It's really easy to mess up. Believe me I've tried. It takes a very strong singer as well as a very skilled one. What's amazing is she's literally only 27 years old and that voice make her sound so mature. Jessica Darrow is such a beautiful and gifted woman!
