It's videos like this that make me wish RUclips would add a more expressive reaction than just the likes. I don't want to like this. I want to love it, adore it, applaud it, something along those lines. Liking it doesn't do it enough justice. This was amazing.
Girl. Those PIPES. That RANGE. The way your vocals transition from delicate to FREAKING POWERHOUSE and you don’t even blink. INCREDIBLE. Blessing all of our ears and hearts 🙌🏻
In a live stream some time ago Britanny accepted requests so she can sing any song impromptu..... I suggested this song and she replied "oh I don't know that song". I'm so happy she has covered this now....I was surprised she didn't know it because it is really the type of song that is her wheelhouse....musical theater, broadway, etc. You did a fabulous job with this version Brit. And I really need to fight those 3 dislikers.
I finally managed to record my cover of this song and sang it as a male as "He Used to Be Mine" in the original female Sara Bareilles key of F major which is means it is significantly higher than the Jeremy Jordan key. Dare I say this version of mine is very angry.....melancholically angry.....angrier than Alison Luff.....🤣
I don't think I've ever commented on a video on RUclips before, but your rendition of this song was extraordinary. So many people go for the notes over the lyrics, but you combined both and understood the psychology of the song. The change in your voice from the soft wistful purity at the beginning to the raspy anger demonstrated that emotional journey perfectly. You've made a lifelong fan.
Patricia, thank you SO MUCH for this comment. Your insight means so much to me! I poured my soul into this one & it makes me so happy that you felt that. Truly, thank you❤️
@@mrsanonymous414 yes... Now that I read my comment again I see what are you talking about. My bad. I'm from Mexico and English is not my first language at all, so I just put an effort to write the best I can. Actually your comment is hillarious. Like it. And thank you for pointing it out. I will be more careful with my next selection of words.
I don't care how many times I hear this song, each person who sings it always brings such a beautiful quality to it. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
This song is so dear to my heart, the lyrics always resonated with me, and to hear one of my biggest inspirations sing it is truly breathtaking. Thank you so much for sharing your art with the world ❤️
The last time I listened to this song was 2 years ago when me and my ex fiance were homeless and my cousin gave me a week to decide if I wanted to stay in the city or move to the country to start over, this song really helped me get through those days and hearing you sing it in such a amazing way makes my heart get all warm and fuzzy 💖
I literally haven´t heard of anyone who can nail this song as much as you did right here. You are beyond talented, you´re way more than that!! you deserve soo much recognition. A ton of love from Venezuela!!
I wish I could comment something as beautiful and moving as your voice. But no words exist to express that level of emotion....so I’m gunna be over here with this on repeat until my eyes stop leaking ❤️
So, I flew to New York to see Waitress while Jessie Mueller was still playing Jenna. I sat in the second row from the stage clutching the tiny jar of pie I bought before the show, totally overwhelmed by how powerful she was in this role, especially during this song. I have no doubt in my mind that you pack at least an equal punch to that tony winning powerhouse. Never ever stop singing to us! 💕
it's not just your beautiful voice, its not just your incredible range, it's the STORYTELLING! I absolutely feel every single word coming from you, it's just natural and breathtaking. You have a phenomenal gift
What I like about songs from musicals is that, in spite of there's a base that must be respected, every singer/actor-ress can give it his/her own interpretation, and you, lady, you nailed yours.
I’m singing along with you, & I’m having a hard time singing this song, because the words make me tear up. Anyone who can sing this song without tearing up, like you just did, Bravo & I admire all you singers, who nail this hard *** song.
That was so good!! I'm sure everyone felt the emotion from the song. A lot of people can sing but it's not easy to make people feel. Well done and never stop singing :)
I’ve listened to this three times already today. I’m going through a hard time right now. I adore this song. And the passion you use to sing this song is so touching and your voice is so beautiful. You’re such a talented woman. I only wish you the best.
i’ve been waiting for this cover forever!! you’re one of my favorite cover artists/singers i’ve literally ever heard!! you’re so cool and i wanna see you on broadway someday
Wow! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 This was one of the most powerful and inspiring Broadway songs ever. I'm so blessed to listen to this. Brittany, you have the voice of an angel.
Liking in advance cause we already all know it's gonna be good but I shall be back with my generic input once it is live. Generic input acquired: Gave me chills. All around beautiful omg
This is so amazing you show the emotion and your vibrato is amazing. I love this so much one of favorite songs and you did amazing, now I can’t stop listening to it, this is amazing.
I love the amount of emotion there is in your voice when you sing this song, you got me emotional and teary eyed in a good way! I'm so happy to be a part of your subscribers! Stay safe!
I normally don't cry or even shed a tear when I listen to songs, but this one was amazing and sad and the way you expressed it, GOD!! You have an amazing voice and you made feel like I could relate to the song, even though I havn't been through it I could feel the pain and sadness in this song and feel it match with the one I have inside me!! You are an amazing singer, and you deserve all the love your fans and subscribers give you!!!!❤❤
Wow wow wowsers!👏 👏 👏. I love this song and your rendition was stupendous and stunning! I loved some of your subtle note changes and your raw emotion. I could feel it in my heart. (Chef's kiss!)
lyrcs: It's not simple to say That most days I don't recognize me That these shoes and this apron That place and it's patrons Have taken more than I gave them It's not easy to know I'm not anything like I used to be Although it's true I was never attention's sweet center I still remember that girl She's imperfect, but she tries She is good, but she lies She is hard on herself She is broken and won't ask for help She is messy, but she's kind She is lonely most of the time She is all of this mixed up And baked in a beautiful pie She is gone, but she used to be mine And it's not what I asked for Sometimes life just slips in through a back door And carves out a person And makes you believe it's all true And now I've got you And you're not what I asked for If I'm honest I know, I would give it all back For a chance to start over And rewrite an ending or two For the girl that I knew Who'll be reckless just enough Who'll get hurt but Who learns how to toughen up when she's bruised And gets used by a man who can't love And then she'll get stuck and be scared Of the life that's inside her Growing stronger each day 'Til it finally reminds her To fight just a little To bring back the fire in her eyes That's been gone, but it used to be mine Used to be mine She is messy, but she's kind She is lonely most of the time She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie She is gone, but she used to be mine
The passion in the portrayal...experiencing in the moment...pulling feelings experienced in the past...love...understanding...acquainted with pain. The FEELS !!!! The VOICE!!!! Were you drained after this?
@@BrittanyJSmith You are SO MUCH my SUPERHERO!!!! You do that ALL THE TIME!!!! Back when I was doing theater regularly, some shows I was WIPED!!!! Then had to figure out how to do it all again the next night...but the runs were mostly short. You do this ALL THE TIME with your live covers!!!! Can you hold my car while I change the tire, later?
My favourite song!!! I can't wait to hear it, your voice is amazing so it'll be great for sure!! Okay, I already seen and heard it, amazing. Just amazing, I don't have words to describe it. Brittany, I don't comment much, but remember I'm here and I really appreciate your hard work!!
I just recently subbed and omg you’re so mesmerising. Have you done “What Baking Can Do”? if not would it be possible because I really would love to hear you 🥺💓
You have an angel voice and you are very pretty. I love your work and the power and feeling with which you sing, you made me cry :’) I LOVE YOUR VOICE.
Sorry I missed the live premiere due to work, but I've been anxiously awaiting this cover, and of course, you destroyed as usual. Wasn't crazy about the backing track, but that voice was absolutely flawless. You definitely belong on Broadway.
Jesus I felt every word of this song, how could anyone not? My daughter introduced me to you and I've been a stalker ever since lol ♥️ You definitely reach souls and I absolutely love how animated you are when you sing. You are definitely a Bada**!
So I have to ask. Have you ever done musical theatre? It's just the emotion you show and put into every song is so sincere and I feel like you would really shine.
The fact that there likes before it premiers shows how much we already CAN'T wait to hear it
It's videos like this that make me wish RUclips would add a more expressive reaction than just the likes. I don't want to like this. I want to love it, adore it, applaud it, something along those lines. Liking it doesn't do it enough justice. This was amazing.
This comment made me smile so big! Thank you
I agree so much with you. She deserves it.

There honestly no one I’d rather listen to sing 💕 so so talented
Can you imagine being this talented
lyrcs:
It's not simple to say
That most days I don't recognize me
That these shoes and this apron
That place and it's patrons
Have taken more than I gave them
It's not easy to know
I'm not anything like I used to be
Although it's true
I was never attention's sweet center
I still remember that girl
She's imperfect, but she tries
She is good, but she lies
She is hard on herself
She is broken and won't ask for help
She is messy, but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up
And baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone, but she used to be mine
And it's not what I asked for
Sometimes life just slips in through a back door
And carves out a person
And makes you believe it's all true
And now I've got you
And you're not what I asked for
If I'm honest I know, I would give it all back
For a chance to start over
And rewrite an ending or two
For the girl that I knew
Who'll be reckless just enough
Who'll get hurt but
Who learns how to toughen up when she's bruised
And gets used by a man who can't love
And then she'll get stuck and be scared
Of the life that's inside her
Growing stronger each day
'Til it finally reminds her
To fight just a little
To bring back the fire in her eyes
That's been gone, but it used to be mine
Used to be mine
She is messy, but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone, but she used to be mine
omg, i’m so excited, i love your voice and wanna see what you’re gonna do with this song
One of the best versions I have heard! Amazing ❤️
Thank you, Lindz! That means a lot to me
her emotions when she’s singing just wow.

So I have to ask. Have you ever done musical theatre? It's just the emotion you show and put into every song is so sincere and I feel like you would really shine.
