Waving Through A Window - Jordan Fisher (Live on TikTok)

[@samr1473]

The fact that he's sitting down is just unfair. His range is incredible

[@rileye5347]

Living Lights Please excuse me... I know absolutely nothing about singing. What’s wrong with sitting and singing? I don’t sing if it isn’t obvious lol.

[@garrettqcallahan_]

Hey Riley, figured I’d step in and answer your question as quickly as I can. Standing up when singing makes it A LOT easier to support your voice. It makes it much easier to open the rib cage and tighten the lower ab muscles, enabling the diaphragm to become fully engaged. Doing this helps you to sing high notes with a lower amount of strain, and allows for a combination of the soft palate being lifted and the larynx going down. This means that he has a great amount of space to add head resonance making it easier to nail the high note. The fact that he can manage to support a Bb4 note at the end of the song while sitting down shows how comfortable he is with the support of his voice. Hope that helps!

[@dav9612]

Yeah he has a fat ass range for a baritone... amazing!

[@rileye5347]

Garrett Callahan That helps a lot actually! Thanks for explaining.

[@garrettqcallahan_]

Riley E No problem Riley! Happy I could help :)

[@josephinetaylor8036]

i love how he did not just sing the song. He became the character while singing the song. that is talent ladies and gentlemen. It is not even him is the character.

[@colesmith2029]

Josephine Taylor you kinda have to in order to hit the notes so you don’t trip yourself out

[@HeyItsPockii]

Cole Smith not to mention that he’s literally Evan Hansen on Broadway- so he kinda has to be in character while singing it

[@delaneyyy813]

trueeee he was doing all the little fidgety things he does on stage when he plays evan

[@amandapaule9202]

+++

[@Sam-of1rl]

As a person with crippling anxiety, Jordan absolutely captured the essence of constantly having ticks... it was almost uncomfortable cuz it was so real NAILED IT

[@MadisonAiello]

yeah he is really good. but if you want to see the best performance then watch either of the Bens as Evan. they truly NAIL IT.

[@notkth9604]

The ticks are good but the anxiety doesnt reflect his voice. Watch Ben's

[@AnimeGirl799]

I kinda love the way he sings it tho. When I get insecure while singing i start to play with it or not sing "seriously" because i feel insecure idk if that makes sense

[@malachithomas1]

Katrina Keith Aratea you dont need to have a certain voice to have bad anxiety. i have terrible anxiety and i sound the exact opposite of the type of voice you’re thinking of

[@bennyhaibara7745]

@@notkth9604 You're speaking non sense. Shut up next time.

[@forumtrashbin7404]

How to be evan hansen: -ticks and sudden gestures -stare into the distance a lot -hands

[@brianarodriguez823]

ForumTrash Bin that’s called bad acting.

[@mikaylareimer5482]

Briana Rodriguez no...

[@Ariana-ty5qy]

Briana Rodriguez It’s actually amazing acting. The actors who portray Evan all do an amazing job of portraying someone with severe anxiety. sometimes anxiety causes you to do little tick-like things that you don’t even notice like biting your nails, messing with your shirt or clothes, heavy blinking, stuttering etc,.

[@shlomitgardi8982]

Kpop Trash I have these ticks while I'm having what I call 'silent anxiety attacks' that can happen anywhere at any time and they are triggered by the most random things, this makes me really good at acting as characters like Evan cause I don't even need to do anything I will probably have an attack anyway

[@alexandranewman7769]

And have a insane vocal range.

[@Amrita464]

i swear you can just see him switch into character. what an absolutely incredible kid.

I would kill to hear him sing freeze your brain from heathers

he is so in character and it is great

[@chloekeene27]

His breath control and range are both INSANE what the actual heck?!

[@izzyc.6398]

Chloe Keene especially considering the fact he was sitting 😧

[@lolaro54]

Broadway singers are the most incredible people- they don’t use any auto tune, they complete full shows all the time, they have incredible vocal range, and people like this come out of it and it is amazing.

[@wandellms]

His facial expressions makes me think he was taught by Lin Manuel Miranda. He does this part justice.

[@erroresque]

Matthew Wandell LMAO I THOUGHT THAT TOO!

[@raygomes1394]

That's acctually pretty real

[@duckearring3135]

He kind of was because he played John Laurens/Phillip in Hamilton for a bit.

[@leenakhanye]

Lucy Porteous no way really?? that’s so cool

[@amandawhittaker3833]

Actually has worked with Lin Manuel Miranda multiple times so it's not impossible.

[@melanniejustlikethat563]

He is a perfect Evan! Why is everyone comparing him to Ben? Just look at him and listen to him!

[@MadisonAiello]

Everyone is comparing him to Ben because Ben is the best Evan there will ever be. Ben has the look, the voice, and the ticks. Jordan is extremely talented but his voice isn't as good as Ben's and he doesn't portray the anxiety as well as Ben either. He also doesn't just doesn't have that nerdy, awkward look cuz Jordan isn't those things. He's more of a cool, stereotypiclly good looking guy. So although he is a very talented actor and singer he just isn't the percent Evan. Ben Platt was the perfect Evan and Ben Levi Ross was the second best Evan.

[@catl4309]

@@MadisonAiello I actually prefer Jordan to Ben

[@disconsolate3235]

Catherine L was Jordan your first Evan or something

[@catl4309]

@@disconsolate3235 No i just don't really like Ben's Evan, i feel like he was a really unlikeable character while jordan manages to capture the awkwardness while still being likeable and charming, i also find his voice to be really soothing

[@disconsolate3235]

Catherine L I agree that Jordan is more charming but that’s why I prefer ben’s Evan. Cuz Evan is supposed to be a bumbling all over the place mess whereas jordans can come off as smooth. Idk bens just feels raw and sincere, especially his vibrato and ticks and demeanour, his eyes and just how he carries himself. It’s incredible. Jordan is a great singer but he’s a little too smooth and cool to be the perfect Evan

[@speckofdignity2487]

He has a much richer tone than most of the other Evans and I absolutely love it. The low notes sound so much more powerful, but he still nails the high ones

[@pepperminttree]

He went straight into character ugh the talent

[@bryanmontemayor6640]

As long as this role doesn’t kill his baritone voice. Gotta preserve those folds!

[@granthalverson1615]

This is no baritone.

[@jackguhl4556]

Grant Halverson he is actually! It blows my mind.

[@malachithomas1]

Jack Guhl he’s a baritenor. operatically he would be a Lyrical Tenor so while his low range is nice he can also support himself heavily in the upper octaves lol

[@jackguhl4556]

malachithomas1 oh thank you that makes much more sense.

[@sophiahaughton7001]

his range is incredible

[@jadenwaz9585]

i know i’m so jealous of it

[@malachithomas1]

his range wasnt really even showed off in this how do you know💀💀

[@landonthompson744]

No one can ever come close to Ben Platt, but this is pretty dang good.

[@sofiaurdiales1729]

Agreed.

[@bighairshortlegs]

Landon Thompson yess

[@MadisonAiello]

facts. I'd say it goes 1. Ben Platt 2. Ben Levi Ross 3. Jordan

[@katherinabatu8691]

Jordan’s amazing but I also think Andrew Barth Feldman was amazing :)

[@sanjanahegde6538]

Katherina Batu i saw him live and thought he was the perfect fit appearance wise PLUS he was really talented :)

[@dananicki]

The little "YAAAAY" at the end made my heart melt 😍😭

[@northwestendometriosisandp8522]

what makes me laugh is that some live commenters don't realize that he is actually Evan on Broadway. comments like "wow you're really good!'' haha

[@goodjobeli]

so many people dont even realise that this was on dear evan hansen's tiktok and not his own too lmao its like why do you think they asked him to go live on their own account? because free clout? lmao

[@alegria1813]

They can know and still be shOOk

[@amandawhittaker3833]

Or the few negative nancy's that were like no I don't think so. No? Well Broadway does so...💁

[@novthirty3249]

i hope he starts getting more recognition ;; hes been in so many roles... in disney he was in liv and maddie and teen beach movie for some minor roles... then he played matt in until dawn (he was awesome tbh and his character was an absolute sweetheart) and then he was in grease and his rendition of those magic changes still tugs on my heartstrings- lmao i could go on. hes so talented and hes literally EVERYWHERE (i became a fan bc i kept seeing him in so many roles^) and hes just so underrated

[@anniegarnett]

The fact that he starts singing, and immediately gets into character. So powerful.

[@lyss03]

Petition to get all the Evans (or at least Ben & Jordan) to sing this, You Will Be Found it Words Fail together 🥺🥺

[@gracedesjardins9575]

What in the actual hockey sticks??? This is absolutely gorgeous!!! His breath control, pitch, runs and tone are flawless!!!

[@christophersmith4659]

I literally love the fact that he went entirely into character the first word he sang. And his range is incredible. Wish I had that😭

[@evieelainerobertson639]

I’m literally sobbing! He’s such a beautiful human being! He can sing, he’s very charismatic, he’s very attractive! Ugh! I love him!

[@yomikki.]

He looked effortless in singing this. And those little riffs! ❤

[@emmasmith6191]

What I love is he’s still in character when he sings he’s not just singing as Jordan he becomes Evan and get all his tics and anxiousness etc...(Ben always did that as well,it’s amazing).

[@mackenziemercier840]

maybe it's just me but he kind of reminds me of brendon urie. like his facial expressions and just his voice seem really similar to me? idk im probably crazy lol

[@kennylayne88]

Mackenzie you’re not crazy but I’ve always doubted myself cuz I don’t even know why exactly he reminds me of him 😂

[@EvieStJohn]

He looks like a mix between Brendon and this kid I knew in high school

[@chileanyways196]

[@camimejia]

I've been thinking about this a lot. I think it's the big eyes and the facial expressions! And the voice is somewhat similar/they have similar singing style.

[@tori2dles]

Facial structure is similar, for sure.

[@linixiibee6893]

The fact that people commented stuff on this live like “bad” or “you can’t sing” like his voice is beautiful. He is an amazing person and if just bringing him down for his insane talent isn’t gonna make it better. Stop bringing down amazing people for your entertainment.

[@kellnaka23]

I love his phrasing at "we belong!" And wow! He is such a talented performer! As a singer myself, I know it is difficult to control your voice, but he makes it seem effortless.

ImD AChillPotato:3 ahh nooo I cant believe I missed that. Fingers crossed someone recorded it

[@katiegarofalo4168]

The amazing thing is that I can see him treating this live as a stage and getting into character slightly.

[@kaleiah2800]

thie song is stuck in my head. honestly, jordan’s the best evan hansen in my opinion. he just has this different charm for evan that makes you feel so bad for him and you want to give him a big hug and hold him forever and tell him its okay and make sure he’s safe 🥺🥺

[@SOI-wl2lo]

This is what Aladdin's voice should have sounded like 👀👀👀👀 lol

[@simoni_]

in my opinion, mena massoud was the perfect aladdin since he sounded pretty much like the original and performed really well!

[@Huntertheprincsss]

Jordan isn't middle eastern, and therefore couldn't have played Aladdin.

[@malachithomas1]

hiimhunter aladdin doesnt have to be middle eastern to play it

[@miafine2584]

And that comment exemplifies the issue I have with casting in musicals at the moment. You desperately want to cast a POC but it doesn't matter if they're the right ethnicity for the role. They're just NOT WHITE. Imagine being that talented and having your entire ability and personhood as a performer boiled down to "yeah cast him coz he's not white". Honestly putting myself in their shoes, I'd be insulted. Cast because they're the best choice, not purely on skin. That's not the person. Having said all that Jordan would be a killer Aladdin I reckon.
