Why, God, Why? - Jeremy Jordan (Miss Saigon)

[@phantomvideowatcher]

I can hear every vocal lesson he's ever had in his whole life shining in this performance.

[@coldtink93]

It is a tragedy that there is no proper recording of this. Absolutely heavenly

[@KajiVocals]

There is. It just hasn't been released. Playbill shared a portion of this on their channel with video.

[@KajiVocals]

A J Yeah, sadly.

[@seththomas7924]

Kaji do you know if ones up by now

[@metsogrand]

Even worse than that for me ,I missed that concert by 2 days .I was over from the UK and my hotel was yards away from the Carnegie hall .

[@georgieag]

Jeremy's vibrato is the love of my life

[@isabellemorales174]

We need an album of all of Jeremy Jordan's live performances because DAMN HIS VOICE

[@nancydrew7888]

I just need a version of him singing EVERY song EVER. But especially Defying Gravity

[@commentingmythoughts]

WHY IS SOMEONE THAT HAS THIS MUCH VOCAL TALENT ON A TV SHOW? Like, sure, I want him to be successful and everything but for all that is HOLY, he needs to be on Broadway at all times.

[@stephpiano2908]

EXACTLY

[@sarahayoub3215]

HE'S TOO GOOD FOR SUPERGIRL 😭😭😭

[@LivvLive]

His character on supergirl is precious and i would probably cry if he left the show, but UGH HE DOES NEED TO GO BACK TO BROADWAY

[@SammieL80]

tv pays more money than broadway and Jeremy has always done a bit of tv, he went from newsies to smash. I don't watch Supergirl but I know Jeremy is desperate to go back to Broadway but hopefully when he does go back someone will write him his own musical not just a crappy reboot

[@fanshi8819]

Melissa Benosit the person who plays Supergirl will be making her broadway debut so I don't know why Jeremy Jordan won't come back.

[@andiehuman]

that vibrato is golden

[@jack_mtg1248]

The guy at the end that was like 'woahhh' is my spirit.

[@AllisonWonderland]

SAME. That's exactly why I kept that guy in the audio... it perfectly describes how it feels to hear Jeremy belt out this classic! :')

[@gramirez72]

He said 'BraVOH....!'

[@couldntthinkofanythn]

Honestly how dare he. Like there is NO POINT in singing a song after Jeremy Jordan sings it. He’s like a musical instrument.

[@benweinstein3634]

Unless Ramin sings it

[@Orholam5]

@@benweinstein3634 Ramin is great but he's not JJ

[@WenbruReviews]

He is a musical instrument ! You hit the point spot on! And he’s young…

[@joseandresuribegarza5727]

Literally

[@elizabethaso1277]

I prefer Aaron Tveit and Patrick Wilson doing this song any day over this guy.

[@ryansanders829]

If I had his voice I’d never shut up

[@leahflick4774]

I watch different versions of this song but always end up coming back to this one. Honestly the best rendition

[@mariloom]

Real

[@leahjd5004]

Jeremy can literally sing everything ever

[@HannahSmith-kr5jh]

The orchestra is just phenomenal! This is one of my favorite songs and Jeremy Jordan's performance of it is the best I've heard

[@i.s.s.y7998]

"Why is his vibrato ringing in my head?"

[@andyjeffrey9590]

Holy cow! That last G and F#! Jeremy’s voice just sounds like he has a built in echo chamber or tunnel with great acoustics. It’s insane!

[@evieelkins9951]

The guy who says "WOAH" at the end is me af.

[@gramirez72]

He said 'BraVOH...!'

[@caspmct9307]

I always hate the way they cut recordings before you get to hear the audience react. That 'whoa' is genius.

[@tmp6208]

Every time I think he can't possibly get any better, he tops himself. Wow, this is amazing!

[@libbycallaghan3009]

i have heard so many people sing this but this is by FAR the best.

[@mariloom]

Actually!! Only this version makes me cry

[@emmaivanov7101]

this is literally my favorite recording ever.

[@asiangrl9]

I. HAVE. WAITED. SO. LONG. FOR. THIS.

[@TanyaUchiha]

Can we just petition Miss Saigon on Broadway to get Jeremy to be the next Chris?!? He is so freaking talented!!!!

[@haleyjones7694]

My soul is leaving my body with every key change

[@nobase]

One of the best rendition of this song.

[@josephhitchner1811]

nobase n

[@daniells8533]

I love Jeremys version but Will is my favorite

[@KristinaLopezWrites]

Wish I could see the video of this performance...I can just imagine the emotion he was expressing on that stage...I

[@miward0528]

Kristina Lopez if I could have taken video I would have because it was amazing watching him do this!! There were parts where he was physically shaking during the more desperate parts of the song.

[@coldtink93]

I think I’m going to be waiting my entire life to see the video of this because I know it’s out there somewhere (theatre mania 😤) . However to Melinda Ward THANK YOUU ❤️.

[@stephpiano2908]

Honestly this is always gonna be the best version

[@taladon101]

Why does Saigon never sleep at night Why does this girl smell of orange trees How can I feel good when nothing's right Why is she cool when there is no breeze Vietnam, you don't give answers do you friend Just questions that don't ever end Why God, why today I'm all through here on my way There's nothing left here that I'll miss Why send me now a night like this Who is the girl in this rusty bed Why am I back in a filthy room Why is her voice ringing in my head Why am I high on her cheap perfume Vietnam, hey look, I mean you no offense But why does nothing here make sense Why God, show your hand Why can't one guy understand I've been with girls who knew much more I never felt confused before Why me, what's your plan I can't help her, no one can I liked my memories as they were But now I'll leave remembering her When I went home before, no one talked of the war What they knew from tv didn't have a thing to do with me I went back and re-upped, sure Saigon is corrupt It felt better to be here driving for the embassy 'Cause here if you can pull a string, a guy like me lives like a king Just as long as you don't believe anything Why God, why this face Why such beauty in this place I liked my memories as they were But now I'll leave remembering her, just her

[@sadislandtired9965]

크리스역을 맡은 많은 배우들이 노래하는 why god why들어보고 공연도직접가서 봤지만 노래듣고 눈물난건 처음이네요 목소리자체도 뭔가 감정적인데 표현을 너무잘했네요 진짜감동받음

[@abbyberns5683]

Sheer perfection. This song was made for him. Every note is spot on!!!

[@RK-qg3zq]

Jeremy Jordan sounds better live than the actual original Broadway recording. Jesus H Christ.

[@jon_low]

Everyone cross every finger you have that he plays Chris in the Broadway revival in March.

[@AllisonWonderland]

I've been doing just that! :') He'd be absolutely outstanding as Chris.

[@chriswagstaff4934]

I've been wishing this to be the case since I saw that he sang this and would have to travel to America to see it should it be the case!

[@AllisonWonderland]

BOOMZZ104 I know, and I love him too!! :) Can't wait for the revival to come to Broadway... so excited!

[@AllisonWonderland]

BOOMZZ104 Yes, my favourite is Chris is Will too!! But I've liked Alistair in general-as a performer-for a while, so I'm glad he gets to make his Broadway debut with this show. :)

[@chriswagstaff4934]

Gutted it's not Jeremy, don't think Alastair is that strong vocally when I saw him live, but his acting is wonderful!

[@isabellindin3398]

Well that was amazing, one of the best actors on broadway

[@entertainmentstarz1]

OH WOW! He needs to come back on Broadway. It sounds like he already audition and got the main role in Miss Saigon. Jeremy Jordan sang it! He deserves a lot more recognition on his career.

[@teresa5667]

im thankful for this youtube video everyday of my life

[@coldtink93]

Same, I literally listen to this everyday.

[@kateoconnor30030]

THIS MASTERPIECE NEEDS MORE VIEWS

[@paradiseproductions_13]

Makes me feel like crying. The whole thing is amazing, but the last note is just incredible

[@carlosgarcia33333]

Best version I heard.

[@jbee1999]

Heard him sing this live. Absolutely insane.

[@dianaexr]

Oh my god. You can like this version without discrediting Alistair, who is incredibly talented as well.

[@AllisonWonderland]

You're absolutely right! :) Both Jeremy and Alistair are wonderful talents.

[@석민주-b7m]

Exactly what I wanted to say

[@jlsebold137]

#truth. I actually love the 25th anniversary because Lea Salonga and Simon Bowman came back, but anything with jeremy Jordan needs to be listened to.

[@modernkali]

@Kmac Vlogs She was part of the encore/bonus features. Lea Salonga, Simon Bowman, and Jonathan Pryce all performed.

[@sabrisoob]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU AND THANK YOU MELINDA WARD

[@miward0528]

Sabrina Martinez you're welcome!! ❤️

[@AdamLeite]

I just saw mis saigon on broadway hd yesterday and am still touched, so this song has a special meaning to me today.

[@junkster2007]

A year ago today Jeremy Jordan gave one of his best performances to date. Just saw him recently perform Lost in the Wilderness from Children of Eden and Out There from Hunchback of Notre Dame. He's gotten so good!!! Wish I had recorded it!!

[@junkster2007]

@Allison Wonderland thank you so much for posting this!

[@miward0528]

There's audio of it on my channel 😉

This is pure pleasure. I don't even know how to describe....I mean....just like.....woooow.

[@evabollhalder2534]

Haven‘t listened to this in way to long.. was about time I blessed my ears again!😍 HE‘S JUST HEAVENLY❤️

[@Catellana]

Tag yourself: I'm the "WOOOW" after he finishes singing

[@sarahgildea4834]

wow what a voice

[@MsPatrickstump]

Who in their right mind would vote this utter perfection down?!?!

[@jessi17300]

Thank you SO much for posting this. I've been thriving on the clips from Broadway World and TheatreMania which only show snippets of his masterpiece. You are a blessing I needed this :)))

hi

this is a new fan everyone

[@tiggywinkle2610]

I am crying. This is beautiful.

[@serenabratten1447]

He has a heavenly voice

[@maddietillem6778]

Ok but I love him for saying VeitnOm and not VietnAYm. Also this video made me love him 4500 times more than I already do

[@orangegirl247]

And here I am again starting a loop from 3:34 on till the end.

[@cieldemeraude]

This is comparable to Will Chase, my all time favorite Chris. Just the amount of vocal cries he used and how he implemented voice cracks and speaking into his performances was immaculate, and Jeremy is pretty much up to par with that.

[@hannahfeldman247]

It's weird but I like that he sings vietNAHM instead of vietNAM.

[@UmmOopsy]

The way he said it is kinda how most Asians in Aisan countries say it. Don't know why he said it that way but its noce

[@abbiehopson]

​@@UmmOopsy I don't know if this is universal in the south but I grew up in Tennessee and always said it that way so that might be why

[@p.jamess7497]

actually that’s the way Vietnamese say Vietnam.

[@mariloom]

@@UmmOopsyyess i love it, it just sounds prettier too, like more delicate

[@catherinesorensen4826]

This literally cured my anxiety

[@CelsoSílann]

A apresentação dele me deixa emocionado, me recorda a primeira vez que assisti ao musical em 2008. Fiquei dias em êxtase com a história. Simplesmente maravilhoso, o Jeremy passou toda a emoção que o soldado Chris sentiu naquela noite em Saigon!!!

[@joaoaurelio1534]

I stan so much Jeremy Jordan, damn him

[@hannahvillacarillo5409]

Thank you for this!! I've been looking everywhere for his version!

He is my idol when it comes to broadway songs! I love his vocals!

Commenting the lyrics for myself because I listen to this everyday Why does Saigon never sleep at night Why does this girl smell of orange trees How can I feel good when nothing's right Why is she cool when there is no breeze Vietnam You don't give answers, do you friend Just questions that don't ever end Why, God, why today I'm all through here, on my way There's nothing left here that I'll miss Why send me now a night like this Who is the girl in this rusty bed Why am I back in a filthy room Why is her voice ringing in my head Why am I high on her cheap perfume Vietnam - hey look, I mean you no offense But why does nothing here make sense Why, God, show your hand Why can't one guy understand I've been with girls who knew much more I never felt confused before Why me? What's your plan? I can't help her - no one can I liked my mem'ries as they were But now I'll leave rememb'ring her When I went home before No one talked of the war What they knew from TV Didn't have a thing to do with me I went back and re-upped Sure Saigon is corrupt It felt better to be here Driving for the embassy 'Cause here if you can pull a string A guy like me lives like a king Just as long as you don't believe anything Why, God, why this face Why such beauty in this place I liked my memories as they were But now I'll leave rememb'ring her Just her

THIS MADE ME CRY

[@detectivefiction3701]

I'd never heard of Jeremy Jordan before, but that was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!

[@onabat52]

The absolute best!

[@CBoxAlmighty]

The end note 😭❤️ I fell to the floor

[@JK_kline]

Finally we have live version. Today Jeremy just sind this song in Seth virtual concert

[@gracemaccarthy2429]

Do you have any idea where I could watch a recording of that? I’m so mad I didn’t get to see it 😫

[@themripley]

I think that "woah" at the end speaks for us all.

[@BeckhamBelieves]

Jeremy and Aaron Tveit have the best versions of this. Either would have been better choices.

[@bonitamig]

I thing Jeremy is better than Aaron because Jeremy has a warmer tone. Just my preference.

[@sarahyan1882]

But jeremy is the best

[@jlsebold137]

I haven’t heard Aaron Tveit with this salon - Does anyone have a link!

[@199660Maria]

Jesus.... the perfection...

i wish he would be Chris on Broadway next March, but he might be too busy with Supergirl. Good for him, bad for us =(

Quick, someone make a film adaptation of Miss Saigon already before he gets old.

THIS!!!, IS!!!, THE SONG!!!!!!!

[@showchoir2056]

I wish he was in Miss Saigon 😭😭

[@cmcc5341]

ok, i’ve listened to every rendition of this song on youtube and jeremy jordan’s is by far the best. his voice is just superior in every way. Tveit sounds wimpy in comparison. some others are too shrill or lack the power to hold those notes to the end without losing their vibrato. jordan is masterful at power belting and his vibrato is flawless. and he’s only going to get better in coming years.
