But what’s even more amazing is how many people also find themselves in these lyrics. This song has woven an invisible thread between millions of us who suffer our weaknesses in silence, feeling so totally alone, only to find out that we aren’t alone. In fact there’s more of us, those who wholly relate…than there are those who don’t hear themselves in this song at all. Learning that has given my soul a massive rest from trying to hide the cracks & smile through the pain.

Hopeful for the future and above all determined that life will be different, she will be different from now on. At least that’s what I get from the song, but I’m not a woman so I may be tottally off base.

    Just saw this video. As a recording producer and engineer, I sometimes tell singers that I will turn off the lights in the studio, so they can focus on the song. Alison, one of the most emotional, true and focused track I have ever heard. Yes, you have great pitch, yes you have a good range, but your injection of your feelings is what makes good performers.....great.

But god, when I hear this song, it brings me back to the days crying on the bathroom floor crying and holding my stomach promising my child we would get out. I’ve always connected with each individual during every performance of Waitress, given my similarities, but this woman LITERALLY connected to me so deeply I was weeping! THIS is why I love theatre. Such a brilliant, perfect performance and undoubtedly my favorite Jenna thus far.

    The first time I listened to Allison’s version I cried. Her tone and tears in her eyes are a perfect match to the way Jenna is feeling. When Allison belts the hardest “Mine” and cuts it off it shows how much Jenna is stuck and lost in herself. It shows how much she is tired of what position she is in. Allison’s singing isn’t just wonderful, it’s emotional and portrays the message of the song and once again the position of Jenna. I feel Her singing is so fantastic that there aren’t enough words to describe how much she needs more credit and work Allison has put into acting and singing. I can’t explain how much I love Allison’s work and her version of this song.

And that voice -- pitch perfect, soft and vulnerable when it needs to be and powerful and angry when it needs to be. It's just magnificent. And Alison demonstrates an amazing amount of breath support without seeming like she's dying as she's sitting there! You get the impression she could hold the note(s) even longer. For those who haven't heard it, check out the version that Jeremy Jordan did for Miscast Theatre -- an also incomparable delivery for a male singing a female-role song. But Ms. Luff ... standing ovation!

      Rick, that’s a wonderful comment. Her performance is also superb with no video. She acts through the voice. It’s all there. I love Jeremy’s version too.

    Not sure if I’ve heard anyone this good since Lea Solonga. What an incredible voice.

    I've heard so many versions of this, and this is the first one I really TRULY related to on an emotional level. That anger mixed with sadness mixed with ANGER is so poignant. Great job!

    His, her voice is SO CLEAR and controlled. Perfect example that you don’t need to overdo it and over act to portray Jenna in this cover. Best ever

      @@annabizaro-doo-dah uuummmm chill? It’s clearly a typo- I meant to type “this”. If you were able to comprehend reading, you’d see that I was clearly complimenting her and was not making any reference to her gender.

    Perfect, the anger, the pain, the reminisce, and the love all comes through. I can only listen to this when no one else is around.

    As beautiful as her voice is, you could watch this with the audio off and still be incredibly moved. The intensity of her facial expressions are awe inspiring. Put the two together and … wow.

    I saw Alison live and let me just say the emotion she brought to the stage looked so genuine, sincere and natural, she had the whole place in tears!! Also that fact that her version is so pure and she doesn’t add all the riffs in and has such control over her voice, it really is PERFECTION!!!! She is so unbelievably talented I think it is totally stupid that her run was only 2 months!!! She is INCREDIBLE!!! She is definitely my favourite Jenna!! (Can I also point out that she holds the big belting notes the longest out of any Jenna which is adding a new challenge to an already challenging song 😉)

    the simplicity is what’s so perfect about this. In a world full of so much bombastic stage performing I yearn for someone to just sit down and say the damn words.

      You push it out of the back of your throat, kinda like a cough
      Try opening your mouth, sticking your tongue way out, and breathe hard/ cough like yiur getting rid of phlegm
      Its hard to explain but lmk if that helped
