[@mikaelowe8430]

when you said at 1:11 in the video that she was a little off, you were wrong cause she wasent off at all cause thats how the song is supposed to be sung you clearly dont know what the hell you are talking about so be quiet pls, and if there is something off thats your comment cause it was way out of line and very disrespectfull

[@mikaelowe8430]

you as vocal coach are a disgrace cause you need to learn that everybody sings songs in their own way, and keela settle is singing it in the correct way and just because someone is singing a song different then you it dosent mean its wrong so if you dont have anything nice to say, then dont say anything

[@IlluminatedSilence]

Actually, the reason her voice is like that in the start of the video is because she was SUPER nervous as it was the first time she had sung the song in front of a crowd. If you notice it shows in her facial expression how nervous she it. that is why you see Hugh Jackman grab her hand. In addition, about the middle of the song you can see her get more comfortable around everyone cause she starts putting more feeling into the song and also starts relaxing and actually dancing to it. Then the emotion of it hits her, you can see her hand shaking when she reaches out to Hugh Jackman. If you watch the full original video of this song, she even says so in the beginning.

[@evj938]

Ummm Keala Settle is a famous Broadway star. She was in the original cast of Priscilla in 2011 and the original cast of Waitress in 2016. She has definitely sung in front of crowds.

Hugh's "huh" after she reaches out to him. PURE EMOTION. I love this. I have not seen a more raw and pure performance from anyone else.

[@maisiesummers42]

At 7:30 when Hugh goes "huh" he's crying, she's crying, cause the emotion of that moment has hit them both. You can see Hugh basically going "damn, you got me".

[@tiffymcconkey]

I think we all cried at that moment

[@katherinepollock]

I WISH there were more songs recorded/posted during the "greenlight session" because the energy in that room was so infectious!

[@vinceryanmembrebe5563]

True, but only those 2 songs actually include Hugh singing, the rest are sung by Jeremy Jordan so it was cut

[@martinlschneider]

This performance is so uplifting... she said in the beginning of the video that she was so scared, she always sang it from behind the music stand... fortunately she became so confident to get in the middle and NAILED it. She even grabbed Hugh's hand because of her fear.... and then magic happened. Can't listen to this without feeling what she felt!

[@LizzyGiggles]

Absolutely. It brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. It’s such a primal, amazing performance the way everyone lets go together. Really glad they filmed it because it’s one of those things that I’ll watch when I’m feeling really low and it instantly cheers me up.

[@hikariyamato6595]

This song never fails to get me crying. No matter if it’s these jam sessions, live concerts, soundtrack, or movie. The pure and raw emotion that she puts into it along with the meaning of the lyrics always gets to me.

[@saraanna7755]

Same ❤️

[@alexexum6084]

Every damn time

[@em.ily.cards.4508]

I was at the Hugh Jackman concert in Kansas City, and she was the special guest. She came out in this sparkly jumpsuit, barefoot and went off. It was amazing. I think the crowd was louder for her than we were for Hugh, and she fed off of it like this. So cool to witness.

[@ReeniEspino]

Saw her perform this at Elsiefest at Central Park, barefoot too.

[@yukifoxdemon]

I went to the same one! "Harder" had me absolutely sobbing.

[@dk4598]

How this song didn’t win the Oscar still has me stumped. Not only is it deeply moving but the message it gives is one of such inspiration and a reaffirmation of self love which is sorely missing these days.

[@feelingReckless13]

the writers of the song won the award the year before, that's why. (It's not a good enough reason imo, they still should've won because they wrote an insanely gorgeous anthem and hired the most incredibly woman in the world to sing it, but yeah, that's why: a dumb technicality.)

[@computerdave06]

These "please make this movie" recordings hit so much harder and deeper than the movie versions... the raw emotion they put in to get this movie made is a testament to their abilities and their desire and their passion to share this music and story with the world.

[@FilipGron]

I love at 7:30. After the second emotional part and she grabs Hugh Jackmans hand. You can see and hear Hugh let out a sigh. That's from him getting so emotional that he gets tears in his eyes. I think it is so sweet

[@tyger166]

I saw an interview where she explained that she never actually wanted to be in the movie, but Hugh had talked her into performing at this pitch meeting and after that they couldn't imagine anyone else in the role.

[@hannahremmel9550]

He bought her off with a bottle of Jameson. Kaela Kettle for a bottle of booze. The way she tells it is hilarious.

[@marisam7560]

I love how Ben Thompson (purple hoodie guy) and Keala work off one another. It feels like he gave her that extra bit of courage and got her rooted so she could really power through

[@StardustandMadness]

Can you imagine writing a song like this, and the first time you hear it (other than you and your piano) is in front of a huge group, with Keala Settle singing it like this. I imagine this is why songwriters write songs like this.

[@chadoakley8505]

well, for this run through, one of the guys who wrote the song is still playing it on the piano... and singing along

[@crownmagus8291]

The guy on the Piano is Justin Paul one of the songwriters and I love how he’s jumping around because he’s so into this great performance.

[@CWazBroadwayBandGeek]

Her voice sounds like that is because she was SUPER nervous. Also, Natalie Weiss is one of the Chorus singers. And some of the background singers are: Andre Keegan-Bolger, Caroline Bowman and Cynthia Erivo.

[@gregtalley1601]

Loren Allred, the voice behind Never Enough with the curly hair, Carrie Manolakos, Jeremy Jordan, Ben Thompson who sings the another round of bullets part. The whole room was basically all quality Broadway talent. That's Justin Paul playing the piano, of Pasek & Paul, who wrote all the music for Greatest Showman, Dear Evan Hanson, and more. There was an absurd amount of talent in that room.

[@santtu_8576]

Hugh Jackman told in a concert that Keala didn't know that producers where thinking two big name actresses for this role. After this performance producer or director, can't remember which, ran to hug her and told that she just got her first big movie role.

[@MrNorcal81]

Great backstory. Keala is a brilliant singer but she said that she had been "hiding" New York for some time. Hugh Jackman knew her, and wanted her in the movie. Keala thought that she was only going to do the workshop but Jackman had other plans and practically had to drag her in. Boy did that pay off. Her performance in the movie is superb and if you want to see Keala just crushing the song live look up the video of her appearance on The Graham Norton show. It's astounding. The other incredible thing about the workshop was that Jackman had a cancerous growth removed from his nose the day before and had 80 stitches. Jeremy Jordan was subbing for Hugh but part way through the number, Hugh couldn't help himself and took over the number while Jordan, no small talent, was in awe. A lot of the stitches broke and Hugh had to rush back to his doctor to get them redone. Just incredible stories about a movie that got green lit at this workshop and went on to become a smash hit.

[@magornmcgoogle]

Hugh Jackman introduced her at a concert the were putting on and said she was cast in the movie because of this performance.

[@jenniferjager6259]

[@OrhohielTheArcher]

This song really means a lot to me. As someone who has been bullied for almost his entire youth/puberty it has such a deep meaning. Accepting people for who they are. That you matter no matter how you look, do or feel. Her being able to bring that feeling over is the best thing ever

[@JoshTheHoffman]

This brings me way back to high school after the musical practice one day we were all out in the hallway waiting for rides and I started singing We are young by fun to myself and more and more people joined till we were just having a grand time singing being ourselves even with out guidance. I really miss those days.

[@lilachodan4941]

I love this song with all my heart! I am different, this song is like an anthem that build me up She really felt it. The scene in the movie when they were singing it make me so emotional. I was singing with them crying, smiling from joy. I love songs from this movie. I love this movie

[@SeliahK]

This specific recording is SO raw and SO emotional that I absolutely cannot watch it or even hear it without the tears rolling. Forget trying to sing it! LOL. I saw an interview with her on a show a while ago. Apparently, Hugh had to really really push to get her to even DO this project. :) I am so glad he did, though. She is just AMAZING.

[@chellep7463]

I wish they'd kept it this raw for the film. Bits of it felt too pretty in comparison

[@mxnstrs]

Theater kids were the best people to hang out with, drama was my favorite because of how passionate they all were.

[@camkahtrin45]

Yeah, the actress was extremely nervous singing in front of people. If I remember correctly, she didn't want to sing the song because of her timidness (I could be wrong, it's been awhile since I watched the special features of the movies).

[@undeniable_1]

She and Hugh did a whole break down of her being picked for this song and how nervous and scared she was. And also how much this song meant to her, how emotional she gets when she sings it because she lives that song. That's why Hugh comes over to her. Watch her and Hugh sing with her home town Polynesian choir, it's unforgettable!

[@fernandomoreno6197]

Her performance at the Oscars is soooo good🤯 you should hear it👌🏻

[@bergerle]

That is still one of my favorite KZbin videos of all time. It's just amazing how it starts out as a nervous and maybe a bit emotional solo. Then after a short while it gets stronger and more confident. Then the others join in and it quickly turns into the most amazing jam session with everyone involved just giving it their all. Just look at everyone and their faces. This is pure joy in music!

[@BloodMoonCosplays]

Every time I hear this song it’s all I can do to not sob, thjs is a song for everyone who feels like they’re not enough, or those who have been told they can’t do what they’re dreaming of. This is a literal fight song and you’d be remiss to not be touched in the deepest parts of your heart and soul.

When she was talking about group singing all I could think of is during a live show of Critical Role and they play the Mighty Nein intro Your turn to roll the entire crowd joins in and you can hear all of the words.

You can recognize talent and react to it of course, but I also love how you break things down and explain technical things in simple terms, for people like me to understand. I love learning about music and singing, even if it's not something I will ever personally do. It's fascinating to learn and then be able to view performances like this in a different way.

[@amyhintz9289]

Music is an amazing gift to give and witness! I've read a good number of comments and cannot disagree. Sometimes the emotion and natural way a scene plays out exceeds the perfection of a song that's been sung by someone gifted in that field professionally. Quality and perfection is relative to each of our interpretations. It may be stated elsewhere ... my interpretation of her expression and emotion is certainly the words, meaning and fullness of what it represents ... But I see something more build within her ... self reflection, personal differences in the life she's led up till then; struggles that she's endured and overcome, and the fact that she's there, in that moment ... giving voice to all those feelings that go unshared but are now tumbling out ... I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars Run away, they say No one'll love you as you are But I won't let them break me down to dust I know that there's a place for us For we are glorious This is brave, this is bruised This is who I'm meant to be, this is me And additionally recognizing how profound it is for herself along with all those people she represents! We can relate ... she represents all humankind, our imperfections and differences! Truly beautiful to witness the raw transition as each person there can't help be participate and be spellbound in that moment. That's magical! Beautiful in all it's imperfection!
