Platt is so masterful with that intro; delicate and expressive. Stunning. (And no one ever has to say anything about Alex. They will bring the house down every time.)
I need the producers of Little Shop to get it together and offer Alex a sum of money so large they have no choice but to say yes to doing Audrey. This is wild.
Alex Newell is such a star. I was introduced to them by Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist and god, what a talent!! They deserve every success! Ben Platt is also very talented but I do think the DEH movie was a BIG miscalculation, as it made his nepo baby situation significantly more obvious. He deserves all the awards he’s received but they waited too long for the movie and casting him was a disservice to the material.
I loved this! Alex's mix up on that A5 was perfection, love Ben's more breathy chest voice with that stunning vibrato! Pure joy to watch and listen to.
Agreed! Everytime I hear Alex hit that A5, I am blown away. It's like they invented the note. Truly perfect execution of it. And agreed, Ben's fluttery vibrato is so signature and beautiful. I could only dream of having such tonal distinction across registers.
Ok, so I'm a purist on this song and Ellen Greene is and should be the standard of which all other versions are compared to. HOWEVER, this one is just so damn good! Alex is amazing and does the song and Ellen, the justice it deserves.
Ditto. Ellen Greene's performance (from nearly 40 years back!) IS the gold standard in this role! From her blonde bubble beehive to her charming manner of speech which carries over into song and her vocals, from timid to gutsy, pure gold. Alex Newell does bring a bit of bravado into the performance, a powerhouse all the way!
I’m all about this Little Shop gender exploration. MJ Rodriguez did everything for me. Truly love Alex’s rendition as well, along with Ben’s interplay with Alex.
Ok, I don’t get the obsession with Ben Platt. Shot gun vibrato, poor rhythmic liberty, and he constantly drops phrases. Alex is of course always impressive.
This was freaking amazing but there's just something about Barbara and Judy version of this song that cant be touched by anyone... nevertheless this version is a pretty close second.
No one other than Alex Newell should ever be allowed to play Audrey again. Cancel all the Audreys that ever were or will be immediately. But get her a better Seymour cause Ben Platt isn't it.
Sorry I said it..I hate his vibrato on certain songs. This was definitely one. Alex and Ben are amazing however why all the over the scream singing. Obviously his audiences love it. Just my 2 cents 😅
Why does everyone have to scream after every impressive note? It's distracting to other audience members. I love Ben, but. he has the worst fashion sense.
@@user-wc9df9bq1c Alex is “gender non-conforming” and uses all pronouns, according to Playbill. And since the actor provided the information to Playbill, I think that’s probably the most accurate.
Came for ben, stayed for alex 🔥🔥🔥
Platt is so masterful with that intro; delicate and expressive. Stunning. (And no one ever has to say anything about Alex. They will bring the house down every time.)
Totally agree
I was screaming "JESUS" after every moment Alex opened their mouth what a voice!!+
Alex Newell would be an AMAZING Audrey. Chills!
I think I choked with glory like three times during this. What a VOICE
lol. Thanks for watching.
Alex hits that note, GOOSEBUMPS EVERYWHERE!
Alex, your voice always blows me away amazing rendition guys.
Alex’s vocal just served Ben’s! That is how you give Diva!!!!! Simply an amazing talent
I'm still gasping for air over Alex's high note... wow!
I need the producers of Little Shop to get it together and offer Alex a sum of money so large they have no choice but to say yes to doing Audrey. This is wild.
Love how Alex did NOT hold back 🤣
Let it rip girl!!!

I believe you can call Alex "she" instead of "they"
Alex actually uses he/she/they pronouns, so either option is okay!
@@shawnstum5323 Oh, cool!
A fan since The Glee Project
2:45 Alex launching us all up to heaven with this run.
Outstanding special guest last night
AMEN!
the casting I never knew I needed till now! 😍
Love this duet! Two of the best voices of our time.

They paid Ellen proper homage by keeping the squeaks in, and thats brutal on the throat. S'why Ellen is an alltime icon.
I can't stop smiling.
She has such an amazing upper register. Oh my God. Applogies was placed and sang so wonderfully. You have me in tears. Love her
This is talent overload.
Fabulous, Ben is a great Seymour, one of my fav songs to sing
Thus has to be the best musical theatre song video on RUclips fantastic duet … both amazing … Alex … just wow .. more please ❤❤❤
Still can't believe Ryan Murphy snubbed Alex on The Glee Project - Alex is a national treasure
MUVA has indeed PROVIDED!!!! 😍😍😍
Alex is the bomb.. The best!
#alexnewell
You have a voice of an angel. Sing your heart out, @alexnewell!

Sensational! ❤❤
Sooooooo goood!!!

Breathtaking!!!
i can’t not cringe at ben platt now, but alex doing audrey is everythinggg, give them all the work pleaseee
Alex is out of this workd
Alex would be a great Audrey after Jinkx.
Is Alex even real??? WOW
After Alex put the stank on that note. The background was like “oooooh we not being cute tonight. Okay. Let’s go y’all!!!!”
Lol
🥹🥹🥹🔥🔥🔥
She kinda ate his lunch in this number. Don’t get me wrong- I love him, but man did she sang!
lol but i think I concur
1:14
im convinced that there’s absolutely no better vocalist than alex newell right now. i’m so proud that they’re a trans sibling
0:15
1:28 Not Ben snapping his fingers.
Work! 🤣
Ben would be a great Seymour!
As talented as he clearly is...I cannot get over his fast vibrato....sometimes he sounds like a goat?
FIRE her Stylist and Wig maker
Ok, I don’t get the obsession with Ben Platt. Shot gun vibrato, poor rhythmic liberty, and he constantly drops phrases.
Alex is of course always impressive.

Eh. I remember Alex from the Glee Project. They were messy and not very kind... hard for me to see their success
Lmao they were 18 years old at most during the glee project in a contest full of theater kids, I'm pretty sure they grew up a bit since then.
Must have moar Alex...
Love Alex but no one can TOUCH Ms. Joy Woods as Audrey.
you are joking..... Sorry but there is only one person that set the bar for audrey that never got matched
Sorry I said it..I hate his vibrato on certain songs. This was definitely one. Alex and Ben are amazing however why all the over the scream singing.
Obviously his audiences love it. Just my 2 cents 😅
I'm so over him...this is what he wears?
Someone...ANYONE..please make Ben Platt go away...FOREVER!!!
Then why are you on this site. Move on troll
THANK YOU.
Why does everyone have to scream after every impressive note? It's distracting to other audience members. I love Ben, but. he has the worst fashion sense.
He needs a stylist to go with that amazing voice.
She is fabulous…he is his usual mediocre self. He has a way of finding notes that don’t even exist.
He has a Tony and gave a heartbreaking performance in Parade. If that's mediocre let us all strive for mediocrity.
Alex's pronouns are they/them
@@user-wc9df9bq1c Alex is “gender non-conforming” and uses all pronouns, according to Playbill. And since the actor provided the information to Playbill, I think that’s probably the most accurate.
O look, someone who thinks it's cool to bash someone over and over. It's old.
You're kidding, right?
Alex is a true inspiration. Ben Platt is a piece of crap.
WOW! just WOW! Thank you for sharing this, 🙂
You’re so welcome.
