From “My name is Jinkx Monsoon, I’m 24 and I’m Seattle’s youngest MILF” to this… Jinkx has always held a special place in my heart, and I couldn’t be happier for her, and prouder of her journey.
Lolol, we have a life long fan.
Aww! That’s a man sweetie, not a trans person but way to go the extra mile and show the rest of us that you’ll drink your kool-aid like a good little boy.
She's very talented, bravo for Jinkx
Did you watch Jinkx’s early RUclips skits while the season aired!? I was obsessed with how entertainingly talented this queen was so young. I need to rewatch them fr! I can only think of the skit around fast food customers I probably watched far too many x’s to still remember💀
Jinx looks so much like that person from Silence of the Lambs.
I got to see Jinx perform with my husband and this song had us both tearing up. Theres something raw and real and familiar in Audrey's dream to us, as a pair of queers who grew up poor. The idea of a dishwasher or a garbage disposal was genuinely fancy for me as a kid, and now as an adult, owning a home seems so far away. And I don't really know where I'm going with this, and I know this song and the whole musical is a comedy, but there's just something that really hit me, hearing her sing this and feeling a lot of the same feelings Audrey feels. May we all find our little green place someday.
Perfectly put. I was blessed to play Seymour years ago and absolutely fell in love with the character of Audrey. I sing this song (to myself and the wind) all the time... and more times than not end up in tears. I guess I still hold out hope for that somewhere...
In comedy, pathos , longing and true desires have perhaps more resonance . We laugh at and with the character which can then make their revelations more meaningful
Exactly why this song always makes me burst into tears.
Cried like a baby ❤️
I’m a single mom, and a home of my own for my daughter and I seems like such a distant dream. Nevermind meeting a nice guy who loves my kiddo as much as I do… So this song gets me right in the GUT 😮💨That’s the beauty of this song, and every other musical masterpiece…it fits into so many scenarios and hits many different people in the heart for many different reasons ❤️🩹
I demand
1 : A new cast album featuring Jinkx
2 : A filming of this production for release in Cinemas worldwide for those of us who cannot travel to NY in time
3 : DVD/Blu-ray/Streaming after the Cinema release
Never thought I would say this, but...
4 : A remake of the Movie staring Jinkx
Yessssssssss!!!!!!!!
That comment is one of those 'shut up and take my money!' moments!
Amen!!!
Yes. Agreed ❤❤
Ooo can we have her play opposite George Salazar?!? I saw him at Pasadena Playhouse and 😭 so perfect
god this song makes me cry, she totally gets the pathos of it. the feeling of asking for the bare minimum and still not being able to get it.
I never thought I'd relate to this song, but as a 30 something stuck renting in a city, this song hits so hard
@@JeanineFollette i feel you, disabled and will be homeless, i cant even get married or I lose disability.
@@DeezN00tz99 I did become homeless and I'm also on disability. I finally got HUD housing after a couple of years on the waiting list. Just a small dingey studio apartment. Better than being homeless, but I can never get married either. This is where I'm stuck now forever.
This person is creepy looking , looks like an intersex serial killer.
When you hear a song that you have heard multiple times performed as if it’s the first time with nuance and sublime acting …. Words fail me
I came here to say more or less the same thing, though you expressed it perfectly.
@@PhoenixHinds great minds and all that :)
exactly.
I got goosebumps ❤️ beautiful rendition
Yes, a beautiful interpretation of a song I have loved and heard so many times that I couldn't imagine ever experiencing it as "new". I had no desire to compare it to the renditions I knew; I just wanted to see where Jinx was taking it. Brava!
Honestly, I’m shocked. She’s definitely had amazing vocal coaches; her voice has developed beautifully over the years. 🤩
This is a genuine question, Jinkx Monsoon appeared on RuPauls Drag Race.
Isn't the whole point of drag that it's males dressing as females (or vice versa)?
If Jinkx Monsoon is female doesn't that mean she had no right to appear on the show in the first place?
Apart from that this is a fantastic version of one of my favourite songs.
@@mickram23 Jinx was born male but as of today, Jinx doesn’t identify as male and I don’t think Jinx identifies as female either. Jinx is non-binary.
@@mickram23 jinx had self-described recently as transfemme
@@mickram23 drag as an art form has always had trans women pioneering it. Drag is a lot more nuanced than just the typical idea of cross dressing, it's performance art which centers themes of gender. It can be used to celebrate femininity/masculinity and point out the way which those two are social constructions and not biological ones. Like a drag king will walk and move like a man, but seeing a cis woman do that makes you realize how that is learned behavior and not stemming from "nature" or biology. Drag can celebrate gender like in Jinkx's case where her inspiration is obviously people like Judy Garland, Patti Lupone and other old school divas. In her performances you can see how she celebrates the gendered way in which they hold themselves. Basically drag is a very broad concept but most people only know it as "man in a dress" but there's a lot more nuance in it if you study the history of drag performance. Hope this makes sense to you.
Jinkx is trans-femme, I believe, but nevertheless drag can be performed by trans women, cis women, non-binary people, cis males, whatever… It is not just simply men in a dress. 😉
Wow... I've heard this sung by so many other performers but this is like hearing it for the first time. I never quite GOT how sad and touching it is that she yearns for such simple things that we all take for granted in our lives... but to Audrey is a dream. Truly so gorgeous and earnest and DAMN what i would do to see Jinxy's full performance on Broadway 😭😭😭
Came here to say just that... so many layers to this song I never heard before.
Shoutout to the accompanist!! So beautifully played and with such sensitivity.
Ive been saying for more than a decade that home on Broadway is where Hera belongs.
Okay chills at the emotion when she came in with “I’m his December bride” after the pause.
Damn, I'm always impressed when people can sing with such emotion without it compromising their voice control. Like even when it's supposed to sound iffy she knows exactly how to let a note waver or let her voice crack so that it pulls on your heart strings instead of sounding like a mistake.
The beauty of this performance really lies in how lost in the idea of pure happiness comes and then the sudden return to reality we get. Jinkx really allows themselves to get lost and brings the joy in Audrey up until the character remembers that this is just a daydream, not something that could possibly happen to her. The acting is so on point and its honestly something I am so saddened that I'll never get to see in person. This is one of my favorite musicals and Seymore is one of my dream roles to play. I'm so glad we even got to see this on stage
I was not prepared for how good this is.
This is the step we need to be taking towards more diversity on stage, I’m so happy Jinx is setting the path
WHO IS THIS BRILLIANT WOMAN??? I only just discovered Jinkx Monsoon, but she is insanely talented. Little Shop of Horrors is a wonderful musical & film. Though, I have to admit, despite feeling deeply for Audrey's situation, no performance of her character, of this beautiful song, has ever genuinely brought me to the verge of tears. This broke my heart in the best way. The talent this woman has is otherwordly- not to mention, I'm OBSESSED with her entire aesthetic! I, too, have an affinity for the darker side of fashion & she wears it BEAUTIFULLY. She is slaying existence. I must follow her on all platforms👑 I officially stan!!! 🖤💐
And watch her slay Drag Race! Twice!
You can find her debut on Ru Paul's Drag Race. She's perhaps less commonly known by her male name Hera Hoffer. She's a drag performer who is genuinely brilliant.
She won RuPaul’s Drag Race twice
@@Raeje_Draeka Jinkx has come out as a trans woman, Hera isn't a male name lmao
@@ThatRandomJew Ohhhh, I didn't know that.
She's a comic belter. Give her an Ethel Merman or Carole Channing show, she'll blow your miiiiinds. Somebody put her in "Mame", she'd destroy as Vera Charles.
Yes!! I can just see her in Hello Dolly.
I'm dying for her to be cast as Mama Rose one day. ❤
He's in his blended register the entire time. He certainly can't belt in this range.
I want Jinkx as Mayoress Cora Hoover Hooper in Anyone Can Whistle so FREAKING bad
@@lucyandjessie6795 Oh my. Can you imagine???
I just saw Jinkx on Little Shop in New York. Was a fantastic show.
Hearing this live, as well as “Suddenly Seymour” , was everything ❤
yes it was!
I had the privilege to see this show live last week. Jinkx was the reason I went, but every single actor on that stage and behind was incredible. Bravo!
The pause after 12 inch enormous screen…. Was palpable and changed the whole song. Beautiful.
I had heard others talk about Jinkx Monsoon's talent but now I'm lucky enough to have seen it for myself. To sing this with heartache and touches of comedy and with such vocal skill ... genius. Surely one of the great performers of our age.
I love how far this musical has come and how inclusive it has always been. Howard Ashman was ahead of his time. 🥰
Jinx your earnest expression brought tears to my eye. Audrey is a ridiculous person but she deserves her dreams of love and safety too 😭
I’m literally bawling where is this witch’s TONY❤❤❤❤
I’ve felt the lyrics of this many times in my life, and means a lot to see it played out on stage from a person I relate to. What does it feel like to be lovers with a guy but only in secret, while all your friends parade around school with their girlfriends and boyfriends? What does it mean to grow older, seeing your friends settle down, get houses, marry, have kids, knowing that this probably isn’t on the cards for you as a queer person. It’s so interesting that this song was written for a woman, but these are also feelings that lgbt people have felt for centuries. Talent aside, I think that’s why this performance is so outstanding.
Wait you couldn't before ?
Well it was written by Howard Ashman,an openly gay man who also wrote The Little Mermaid songs.
Following jinx for years and seeing her reach this amount of success is truly heart warming ❤❤
Oh, that is a song that really isn't easy to do well, but Jinks nails it. What a great rendition.
Ohhhh Jinkx. I think this is the best I've ever heard you sing. And that's saying something. Branch and flower as ever, you buoyant, sterling dynamo🤩🥰😍😘
Broadway really took the voice up to the NEXT LEVEL. This is EVERYTHING.
mother is so talented😢
I’m truly impressed. Jinkx really owns the fantasy, fully getting all the layers of the character and song.
I adore Ellen Greene’s version and I play the Broadway soundtrack when I clean my home.
This auto played for me today ❤
I’m so happy it did 🌷
Well done Jinx ✨ you have done an excellent job 💕 x
Wow!! I’ve always been a fan of Jinkx but this is better than even I expected. She pulled off the earnestness of this perfectly
There's a little Judy creeping in. Not upset about it.
I’m SOOOOOO in love with Maestro!!!! You? Are a GODDESS!!!
jinkx is incredible as always but im dying at the "moonsoon" typo in the video when they introduce her and the song lmao
OMG!!! What a performance! Literally crying right now...I never thought I'd love anyone else playing Audrey other than Ellen Greene, but after this performance...
So, I'm from Barcelona, and I've never seen Jinkx before this video. I heard about the casting and thought "mmm... that looks like a celebrity stunt cast". A participant on a Drag Queen contest... it sounded strange to me, didn't think it'll be a great decision. But boy, oh boy, I was wrong. This is an AMAZING performance. I really think Jinkx makes for a great, great, Audrey.
I've heard this so many times from different performers over the decades. They've just managed to completely revitalise a well trodden song like it's the first time I've ever heard it!
The only word that I can muster to describe this performance is "SUPERB!".... the beauty of it made me want to clean my eyeballs!
Jinkx Monsoon is an absolute star.... imo
I knew from the first time I saw Jinkx on Drag Race that she was going to be a huge star. Thanks for bringing us on your journey, my Queen, and bravo!👏👏👏👏👏
Jinkx’s life dream is a gain for Broadway and the West End. A treasure for us in the audiences and between Alex Newel and Lady Monsoon, the world witnesses the fantastic revival of an art form that has long been uncelebrated.
BRAVA! MOLTO BRAVA!!
Genuinely brings me so much joy getting to to here her sing this song since I won’t ever be able to afford tickets. Thank you Jinkx💕
Queen of Queens always
This is the first time that this song has made me cry. Perfection.
Only heard of her in passing until I saw that episode of the new Doctor Who season, but she has a very Bette Midler vibe with how she speaks and carries herself. I like that.
Ok I have heard hundreds of renditions of this. This is in my top 3. It’s done extremely well and the acting is superb.
Jinkx is an amazing actress...please Hollywood give her a chance ❤️
Well the BBC gave her one for the time being. She's the main villian in the new Dr. Who series.
@@aquaricpassion Yes...fab !!!
My ginger queen! 😍 She was born to perform. This is so beautiful!
had to see this for a third time to see jinkx- worth every penny.
Jinkx my husband and I saw you in late April in little shop. You were everything we hoped so see. You have extreme talent, you’re a force to be reckoned with. We love you!
She is a star…. It’s incredible to watch her… unbelievable.
This is such a moving version of this song. Beautiful. Heartbreaking.
Beautiful! So proud of Jinkx, she’s worked so hard to get to this point.
Why u gonna make me cry, Jinxy? Bravo. U R A STAR!
Amazing! Jinx is the best I’ve seen since I was lucky enough to see Ellen Greene in the original cast!
God i love how far jinkx has come ❤ this gives me goosbumps. Her voice is amazing ❤❤❤❤
Howard Ashman was a treasure. If you didn't know there is a documentary on Disney+ called Howard he wrote the Little Shop of Horrors musical and then went on to write the songs in The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin. He unfortunately does of Aids before Beauty and the Beast was released. You are stunning Jinkx.
I never knew Howard was behind little shop. Wow!
I’m in tears. Beautiful.
Ive not heard Jinx sing, but ive seen some of her comedy online. I got goosebumbs from the second line & on! Really powerful portrayel & singing
I absolutely adore Jinxx. Honey you brought actual tears to my eyes with this version. Thank you beautiful lady.
She's brilliant! She has that great combination of sincerity and natural comedy.
So much respect for the performers who capture this songs delicate balance of humor and sincerity
Love her...great voice...made for Broadway...go Jinkx go ...love u ❤
Male or female, Jinx has one of the best voices in theater. This song gave me chills!
Just incredible! What a phenomenal talent Jinkx is! So glad she's finally getting her time to shine. She really deserves this and has worked so hard for so long! Congrats Jinkx! Wish I could make it to NYC to see you
it’s just.. different. in the most beautiful way
Thats why she's two time champ
Truly a masterful performance, you can tell she cares about the role.
seeing Jinkx in Little Shop 2 weeks ago was FANTASTIC! just as we expected!
Wow Jinxy!!! So f’ing good. Loved her in Doctor Who one of my RPDR faves of all time.
I’ve been obsessed w this movie since I was wee (I was 6 when it came out), just had my 10yr old step-daughter watch it for the first time (she’s now obsessed), and listening to Jinkx’ rendition makes me cry. I’m so proud of her living her truest bigness and man I wish I could get to NYC to watch her perform this role live. Fingers crossed for a national tour and it’s inevitable stop in her home town… either of them. I’d go to either… or both!
I need this on Broadway, People need to hear this, this needs a Tony nom, this deserves a Tony win. I have watched this many times over a few days and I can not cry each time.
I’m so proud of her
Amazing!! Way to go Jinkx!
"Somewhere its's Green," is a place we all go when we feel broken, a wonderful portrayal, BRAVO!!!
Amazing as always everything Jinks does seems thought out perfectly executed but effortless .
i saw jinkx monsoon perform this live, and the way she puts so much love and care into her performances is so amazing. she deserves the best, and i'm so happy to see her as audrey, she was AMAZING 💗💗
This was absolutely beautiful
Genuinely one of the most wonderful humans on the earth. Incredibly talented and funny. Love Jinkx ❤
This is amazing, they deserve everything
She’s incredible. I’m so proud of her ❤❤❤
Surprisingly great job. That’s a difficult register. Awesome.
What an amazing performance, so proud of you, keep yourself true,
BRAVO - this was fantastic showing of characterisation
Wow. Amazing performance.
Moved to tears by this.
Omg Jinx, your are the best. I felt every word you sang. You are the queen!!!! My favorite drag queen ever!!!! Keep doing what your doing girl💕
This stripped back and quiet performance is a thing of beauty
Saw them on doctor who and I love how powerful their voice is on there and it’s interesting to hear another side of their voice in this!!
Thought I couldnt get more excited by how good Jinkx is.............Dr Who and now this.........Please let there be a cast recording . Please Please Pretty Please.
That was so beautiful. ❤
Love love love!!!!
I have heard this song my whole life but Jinx brought me to tears performing it! Way to Slay Queen!!!
