[@cober155]

Alot of the people they get up on stage and just sing the song, they may sound amazing but if you cant get the crowd to feel and connect to the character you are portraying then your failing the production. This kid actually connects to the song and emotes and acts that's what will make him a Broadway star.

[@justanotherguy3850]

Even as a man on KZbin as I am I am brought to tears hearing him sing it as well as Lucy Jones. Or Sara Bareilles. That's the sign of a professional or at least a singer when they can engage you and stop your brain from thinking about whether or not the kids are getting their homework done at home or that paper you have to write for work tomorrow. They capture your heart and soul and it comes bubbling out of your eyes. That's because it's pure joy. Your heart stop speeding for a moment. And then you belong to the song.

The life growing inside me was my own! For many years I refused to admit who I AM because of where and how I was raised. Suicide was a serious option for me until I heard this song. I know what the song means in terms of the musical and how powerful it is, but I thank Sarah for writing this for other reasons. Music has the power to heal and help! Never forget that!!!

Omg, I thought his name is Jenna! 🤯 (he is that GOOD)

[@maryyaismail2923]

I will always love how he ends the the last verse so softly. He took us to another stratosphere with his belting, and then gently brought us back home at the end.

[@Chihuahuauno1]

It’s called “typical” music interpretation…smh🙄

[@luvmenow33]

I'm still not quite sure if he was actually about to cry or if it was just the acting cuz either way it was amazing

[@masonbabcock4785]

Jesus, that moment at 3:57 when he just soaked everything all in, the audience, the amazing opportunity, it made me tear up so much.

[@linnycrocus6023]

And the audience getting up on their feet to support him gave me chills. Such a beautiful community the theatre community is.

[@hopeensley6231]

When I say this hit different, this hit different

[@samsunguser3438]

He sang this song like he composed it on the spot, convincingly sharing the hard truths about a woman that he new who was flawed, but longing to be loved only to find herself at the mercy of a heartless man. I cannot stop replaying this perfect mixture of raw emotion, combined with the sweet, sometimes gritty but overall soulful vocals of this rising talent who demonstrated all the appropriate gestures and expressions that marked this as a genuinely moving tribute on his side as well as mine. And yes, water somehow keeps getting in my eyes everytime I watch him perform and I soak up the reactions of the Broadway actors around him as well as hear the audiences reactions. They all keep pulling me in and I don't mind it at all. So Bravo to this wonderfully talented young man, I can't wait to see him shine again.

[@clarissapompa182]

This was amazing but also Al Roker's face when he hit that note was a serious mood like wow

[@Morgan4746]

I thought that was Al Roker

[@LesxVllnv]

It’s been years and this still gets me every single time. 🥺

[@keithharrell1611]

Who gave this lil dude the damn right to just send my wig into space and leave me bald and weeping? Who are you parents? They need to be informed.

[@nicholasusansky9073]

Keith Harrell ❤️

[@selahpoore9098]

Keith Harrell I’ve literally never read a comment that not only made me laugh but also represented me completely

[@hanleighw]

it's too early in the morning for me to be crying like this.

[@Allie-rs8yk]

hannah leigh same !

[@yayshowvids6427]

HE WRECKED US AND WE LOVE IT

[@AsianDramaClips12]

The Voice coaches would turn around at that first note, if this was a blind audition. Goodness, those gasps and sighs reflect his melancholy and that high note and agony show his musical maturity. I want to hear more of him.

[@jackcockayne3596]

never cried at anyone else performing this song, damn. talent.

[@TyceDagel]

Only Shoshana but that was in her recording of it with just the Piano.

[@julianaperez3845]

I told myself I wouldn't cry. And then he cried. So in other words, I cried.

[@azile9367]

[@jamesreeve4962]

Wow....just wow

[@johannlemos]

I cried so much watching this young man giving his soul here. It's amazing how he can sing and was able to touch me.

[@chrishouston968]

I got OBSESSED with the original video on Facebook. This kid needs to perform at Miscast. He is going places!!!!

[@aidanlam5336]

Miscast? More like he needs to be the new Jenna!!

[@hersheysfloyd]

Oh yes!!! He's going places indeed. October 2018

[@TheCanadianEuro]

This is probably the 15th time watching this video, and when I started it I said to myself "okay you cried the last 14 times, don't cry this time". Nope. There are tears again.

[@fernandoalves2521]

[@allietheotaku]

[@lisaperry7048]

[@hollyabbott24]

3:30 the people in the back are my MOOD THIS DUDE IS AN ANGEL

[@jamiehudson4894]

Are you kidding me?? That was the single handed most beautiful thing I’ve ever witnessed. Why isn’t this talked about more. Please tell me this kid is on broadway now. He’s meant for the stage

[@dawgman9449]

I’ve listened to 10 versions by 10 different artist of this song and this kid just made me feel what the words truly meant. He brought tears down my cheeks. Good job young man. Good job. I hope you go far in this world.

[@murraydonald1497]

I, ve looked for other covers too, lots of then oversung... This kid is in touch with the song totally, he's surprisingly nuanced and does a perfect job

[@myloveanne-z5s]

The people who disliked this probably thought it said: “Dis I like.”

[@martinbravo1807]

kiwikawaii 8608 it’s doesn’t even say dislike or like for me 😂

[@micgarch8805]

I am moved by his pregnancy and hardship. But kidding aside, this kid gave above and beyond justice to this song. Amazing.

[@cleydsonanderson]

He's telling us the story... Emotion's the most important thing to transmite the song in particular. He's amazing!

[@353Studios]

Sem dúvida ele passa 100% do que a letra dessa música pode passar em emoções. Simplesmente AMAZING

[@jesse_mills3075]

3:30 that mans reaction! Ugh the cast is so supportive of him❤️❤️

[@rachelwood9438]

That's al roker lol

[@multicoloredvirgo8685]

[@antoniofernandez3995]

I watch this video at least once a week to cure my depression

[@nickoquinalayo3513]

Awww! Ure gonna be fine. Always remember that youre not a mistake and you are not your mistakes. God loves you. 😊

[@iandwightgrile]

[@kurtips]

Antonio Fernández hugs. hope you will be ok

[@hashacar777]

i agree. his voice soothe your heart and lift you up. :) everyday, I've been listening to him.

[@limejuce1295]

Same. 😢

[@IRavenCorbeau]

The emotion exuding from his voice is hurt and damaged. This is a true artist you can tell he has a a true talent to connect to a song. 💖🧡

[@MzKissez130]

I feel disrespected by his talent. He is perfection. This is literally the best version of this song.

[@SL-og1qf]

What makes this so special is his enormous capacity for empathy at such a young age.

[@XhiaughSonnetLeigh]

I just love how the cast was cheering for him.😍❤

[@hannahthomas9507]

Adrian: has an amazing soprano voice Puberty: I’m about to ruin this mans career

[@juanpe_0245]

I have been through this 🙄😂😂😂

[@hannahthomas9507]

Juanpe_02 Same!!

[@jtoreilly801]

omg i can relate

[@DaniWhitex]

If he sings through his voice breaking it will be controlled .lets pray

[@alattadikimahbut5270]

*Chris Colfer has entered the chat*

[@jimmcfall3678]

I've lost count of the number of times I've watched this video. I just keep coming back over and over and over again, especially after a tough week at the office and lord did I have one of those this week. This kid, you by now is young man, is pure light.

[@Br4nTy0]

This boy is gonna go very far in this world. What a spectacular performance...had me crying

[@azile9367]

[@TeanerellaX]

2:07 She knows the audience is about to be taken to CHURCH!!!!

[@markfriel2885]

Yes! She was the halo to his angelic performance!

[@leonardoandrade8229]

Dang this boy can sing and has emotion in his voice great job.

[@beccac6812]

When he hits that high note the throws his hand I cry everytime , he is so powerful. I can’t wait to see him on Broadway someday . 😂

[@neveduff]

What makes me so emotional is not only how amazing he is, its absolutely undeniable! But looking behind him and seeing how the cast have the biggest proudest smiles for him. They wait for every note with anticipation and excitement and are rooting for him the whole time to do his best. This is why I love theater, the support within the community is one of a kind

[@Nancy-yz9eb]

That moment at 4:40 when he sees his mother... I lost it!

[@valeriavillanueva9677]

Jessie Mueller NEEDS to sing with him PLEASE

[@rickybolamphear1182]

Wow, not only can he sing, but he can interpret the music! What a gift
