Such a fitting song to perform with it being world mental health day. The message of the song is so important. Absolutely spine chilling performance. Ben is honestly so underrated.
He's worked hard at his voice and honed his technique. In fact, Ben really doesn't sing in full voice - it's disconnected and breathy, which is often against what vocal coaches teach. With the right help you can do it. 😁
Such an incredible performance. This is a very powerful song that is purposefully quiet in parts so as to accentuate the stronger vocal in other areas. I heard and felt every single word. Ben Platt has an amazing voice. Awesome tonal quality and control. Bravo!!!
Shame his mic was quiet initially but loved seeing Ben on Strictly. His vocal ability is stunningly powerful. I felt privileged to see him as Evan twice on Broadway and it was an unforgettable experience.
@@djmotise The mic is clearly having problems. As it aired everyone was commenting about it. Also I’ve seen him live on stage twice. He doesn’t have a weak singing voice.
Bless Ben, he looks tired. Pleased he didn’t over sing this, even though his microphone wasn’t loud enough. Testament of a professional, never sing louder when it’s the sound engineer’s problem. Brilliant performance. 🤙🏻😀
@@cedric9288 Woah there! Where on earth was I body shaming him? I said he looked tired - probably from jet lag, probably because he's working too hard, probably a combination of things. It's "body shaming" to say someone looks tired now? Are you for real?!
One of the best live performances ever on Results Night, I've heard and thankfully not ruined by the audience "whooping" and hollering at every lift the dancers made, as so often happens. Sometimes, as ABBA once opined, it's better to "let the music speak!" 🎶
I LOVE MY BEN PLATT SO MUCH! ♥️✨ HE ALWAYS EXCEEDS MY EXPECTATIONS. 😭 THIS IS A SONG THAT MADE ME SURVIVE DURING MY DARKEST TIMES AND DEAR EVAN HANSEN WILL ALWAYS HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART. 💙🖤🤍
@@DDTC73 But that point is that he sang other people’s parts of the ensemble that had different pitches and sentiments to what he normally would. The other 8 were there to do the general choir part.
An amazing song and performance by Ben. The sound in the hall must have been amazing, but never translates well on screen as on Strictly the music plays second fiddle to the dancing. Always nice to hear this again. Well done Ben.
I just performed a Calisthenics group dance to this beautiful song in Australia Dianne Buswell might know of the type of dance because it’s native to Australia and we came first out of the whole state (Queensland)! Love it 🥰
Ben definitely looks tired in this performance 🥺 he is involved in so many activities- acting , singing, interviews, traveling etc. Not to take away that he is still amazing 😉 sweet, sexy gorgeous 🔥🔥 Love you Ben 😍😘😘😘😘
even when the dark comes crashing through when you need a friend to carry you im stuck in the dark but youre my flashlight you gettin gettin me trhough the night so let the sun come streaming in cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again im stuck in the dark but youre my flashlight you gettin me gettin me through the night
From what I’ve seen of him, he tends not to dress up and kind of just let the music talk. He does with general performance…. Plus he’s a broadway child, they’re always a little out there 😂
Which week was this from and was it the results (guessing it was) I've been really bad at keeping up with all of them which is a shame and it sucks even more now knowing that I missed this 😭

No auto tune, no overwhelming background noise, just Ben Platt standing in his pajamas giving the performance of his life.
Pajamas rofl
Boring
Lol
Bwahahhaha.. pajamas
Such a fitting song to perform with it being world mental health day. The message of the song is so important. Absolutely spine chilling performance. Ben is honestly so underrated.
I thought exactly the same. Such a powerful song.
Wait wait wait...Ben platt, underrated - just had to reread that sorry
@@LegitamateGamingVideos how come? Might I ask?
@@enchantrix9669 Ben Platt is anything but underrated
@@pan-opticon his music aren't really taking off
I hope he doesnt get tired of singing this song. His voice is effortless but when you try singing it I sound like a dying goat.
He's worked hard at his voice and honed his technique. In fact, Ben really doesn't sing in full voice - it's disconnected and breathy, which is often against what vocal coaches teach. With the right help you can do it. 😁
Hahaha...i definitely can relate
Actually, Ben sounds like a goat with that vibrato of his. And he strains in the upper register. Or he goes into falsetto.
@@djmotise omgee thanks for validating that I can sing like him, hahaha
Hahaha same here. I sound like an old goat dying
Every time he sings a song from this musical it sounds different and each time I get goosebumps
Each time again, he’s amazing me, his voice is putting a spell on me, it touches my soul, on every right spot!
That’s the main goal. Been listening to the songs since they were released and that is Aprox 4 years ago... still can’t get enough of it.
No reverb or auto tune, barely any compression. That's amazing
there is very clear reverb
@@charlieneedshelp989that’s just his voice
@@saulgoodman8912 bro you can’t reverb your own voice
@@charlieneedshelp989 you was holding notes. It’s not that hard
@@charlieneedshelp989 also, he’s a broadway singer. He doesn’t need reverb
This performance was genuinely the only reason why I watched Strictly last week. Loved and followed Ben since he was in the Pitch Perfect franchise!
I love this and him. I can’t get enough of the Evan Hansen soundtrack.
Ben Platt is an ABSOLUTELY genius!! Fantastic voice, great performer, amazing young man.
I've been waiting years to see a DEH song on Strictly. This was my absolute favourite part of the show this week!
A DEH song?????
@@johnnymilne2105 DEH - Dear Evan Hansen
If it were to be used for movie week next year, comtemporary would be the best fit for the routine
@@KenzieRetro Or even for musicals week. But yes contemporary would definitely fit!
@@user-ls1is7td2q even better
Wow what a voice, the runs! amazing! and beautiful staging, and lighting too.
Incredible song. Absolutely wonderful message to be found behind the lyrics “you are not alone” ❤️
Such an incredible performance. This is a very powerful song that is purposefully quiet in parts so as to accentuate the stronger vocal in other areas. I heard and felt every single word. Ben Platt has an amazing voice. Awesome tonal quality and control. Bravo!!!
3:06 goodness! Such a perfect moment this is! Ben with that high note, the lights, the camera panning out, dancers sweeping across. Truly magical.
Best guest performance and accompanying dance EVER on Strictly.
Shame his mic was quiet initially but loved seeing Ben on Strictly. His vocal ability is stunningly powerful. I felt privileged to see him as Evan twice on Broadway and it was an unforgettable experience.
It wasn't quiet. That's his weak voice. Sorry.
@@djmotise The mic is clearly having problems. As it aired everyone was commenting about it. Also I’ve seen him live on stage twice. He doesn’t have a weak singing voice.
Someone fire that microphone for not letting us hear such wonderful music
@@djmotiseweak voice Ahahaha listen to the America got talent version then come and say sorry what a tit 😂 someone jealous you can’t sing like that
Bless Ben, he looks tired. Pleased he didn’t over sing this, even though his microphone wasn’t loud enough. Testament of a professional, never sing louder when it’s the sound engineer’s problem. Brilliant performance. 🤙🏻😀
why body shaming? Seriously, the ageist comment about Ben is discussing. we are all human, we all age, point-blank. get a life.
@@cedric9288 Woah there! Where on earth was I body shaming him? I said he looked tired - probably from jet lag, probably because he's working too hard, probably a combination of things. It's "body shaming" to say someone looks tired now? Are you for real?!
His mic was plenty loud. Vocals are supposed to sit in a mix, not above it.
You sound tired.
Y'all back off. OP didn't body shame, she said he looked tired. No need to attack for that. So sensitive
as soon as ben came on screen i almost passed out. i love him so much
So beautiful! Jowita & Cameron smashed it 💓
Absolutely! They were mesmerising! 💗
Was it Jowita? I am impressed. A very beautiful, ethereal dancer.
@@zxaddictxz I think if it's who I'm thinking of then she won The Greatest Dancer
Just so everyone knows, all 65k views are from me because I never get tired of hearing Ben's beautiful voice!
Hi Michelle 👋
How are you?
Nice to see Ben breaking out his best PJs for his Strictly debut!
Electric!!! What a performance!
Needed to be longerrrrrrrr 💕
One of the best live performances ever on Results Night, I've heard and thankfully not ruined by the audience "whooping" and hollering at every lift the dancers made, as so often happens.

Ben’s amazing and how gorgeous are the dancers ! Not to mention the goosebumps from the chorus !!!❤🎉
Each time again, he’s amazing me, his voice is putting a spell on me, it touches my soul, on every right spot! I Am Mormon.
Ben Platt vocals - 11/10. The dancers, 7/10. Kidding but holy smokes raw vocalism at its peak. Talent pure talent, my gosh!!
I LOVE MY BEN PLATT SO MUCH! ♥️✨ HE ALWAYS EXCEEDS MY EXPECTATIONS. 😭 THIS IS A SONG THAT MADE ME SURVIVE DURING MY DARKEST TIMES AND DEAR EVAN HANSEN WILL ALWAYS HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART. 💙🖤🤍
Hope you're doing well now and looking after yourself 🙏
@@Jac-Jay thank you so much, i appreciate it ♥️
Ben Platt is supreme!!! ❤️
I just wish we got a longer version
The song is beautiful, and the dancers were flawless. Amazing!
Ben! amazing job to everyone. soo beautiful ❤
One man singing an ensemble piece. Ben platt. Unreal 👏👏
So you're just going to ignore the other 8 people singing with him in the second half of the song?
@@DDTC73 But that point is that he sang other people’s parts of the ensemble that had different pitches and sentiments to what he normally would. The other 8 were there to do the general choir part.
@@RexT18 So you're praising a professional singer for singing parts of a song he doesn't usually sing, but has heard a thousand times before? OK....
@@DDTC73 I mean I'm not praising him for that. I'm praising him for his voice.
@@DDTC73 As well as that, hearing a song that's been sung thousa so I times doesn't mean that you can sing it - even as a professional singer.
What a fantastic song you made me cry beautiful 🙀❤️
ADORED every minute of this ❤️
I second this. Saw in the theater the movie & there wasn’t a dry eye when the credits rolled by the packed audience.
Ben is so amazing👏👏👏
this guy does indeed have a gift!
Jowita is AWESOME!!!
Stunning! Thank you.
So beautiful I hope they bring it back
His talent make me cry
An amazing song and performance by Ben. The sound in the hall must have been amazing, but never translates well on screen as on Strictly the music plays second fiddle to the dancing. Always nice to hear this again. Well done Ben.
Okay I'm pissed off that my mum never told me that he was singing last night-
The exact same thing happened to me!
@@rachelwaggett6834 I was so annoyed at her ngl
RUclips: Here's a new video with Ben Pla... CLICK! Ben and Dear Evan Hansen songs are always great and the dance makes it even better.
love his voice
I can confidently say this song has saved lives.
i love this man
love his voice❤
OMG!!! WOW JUST WOW xxxxxxxxxxxx
no one can sing this like ben platt
Thank you. Performing live gives me such a rush 😂
I hope he knows how many lives this song & musical impacted those in need.
I love you Ben💙
I think I actually like his voice better here than in his incredible Americas Got Talent rendition. Both incredible!
He looks like a lonely grounds keeper singing to the grave stones and then he starts to see ghosts dancing and just goes with it.
I just performed a Calisthenics group dance to this beautiful song in Australia Dianne Buswell might know of the type of dance because it’s native to Australia and we came first out of the whole state (Queensland)! Love it 🥰
I’m a dancer from Queensland too but I’ve never done Calisthenics. Highland, ballet, and tap for me!
Love Ben Platt 💜
So heartfelt ❤️
Such a amazing performance!
Beautiful words
Just WOW~ WOW~ 🎼🎵🎤💃
Sublime performance💖💖💖
Glad this was posted on World Mental Health Day and my wedding anniversary 😊😍❤️
Ben💕
beautiful
YES BEN!!😍💙 dear Evan Hansen is such a great Broadway musical!!
If only Strictly had singers of quality like this for the celebrity contestant's performances
Ben definitely looks tired in this performance 🥺 he is involved in so many activities- acting , singing, interviews, traveling etc. Not to take away that he is still amazing 😉 sweet, sexy gorgeous 🔥🔥 Love you Ben 😍😘😘😘😘

Hi Kenzie 👋
How are you?
Where can I upload this version? OBSESSED
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Chills.
I always have the feeling that he doesn't want to sing the song over and over again.
Listening to this song I get early 2000s Disney vibe merged with The Greatest Showman.

Hi Rachel 👋
How are you?

God bless ❤️ us All xaFO@
Came here from American adol to see of gabe sounded like him
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Great vocal... my only question is, what was he wearing?
Looks like my dad’s boiler suit 🤨🤐
From what I’ve seen of him, he tends not to dress up and kind of just let the music talk. He does with general performance…. Plus he’s a broadway child, they’re always a little out there 😂
Which week was this from and was it the results (guessing it was) I've been really bad at keeping up with all of them which is a shame and it sucks even more now knowing that I missed this 😭
benji???
Yep, but has come a long way since then. The original Evan Hansen on Broadway, now in the movie
