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.)
Alex knocked that out of the park and there is No touching her. I love how Ben didn't even try. He blended with the chorus and knew Alex was the star of that song. Damn!
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.
It's wild because his strength belting out his A5 is so powerful. He got checked out and they told him he has soprano vocal chords which is obviously rare for males
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.
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 really have seeing Alex Newell on Broadway, on my bucket list for life. Alex has such incredible talent! Like OMG! That's like a vocal force of nature! I am so Happy Alex is using that voice and letting the world hear the magic of what that voice does to people, and their feelings. It's like a narration of emotions thru vocal flexibility, in such a beautiful way! I am so hooked!!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 😅
@@Hal-x7l 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
we need him as the next seymour
I'm still gasping for air over Alex's high note... wow!
Love how Alex did NOT hold back 🤣
Let it rip girl!!!
I was screaming "JESUS" after every moment Alex opened their mouth what a voice!!+
Alex knocked that out of the park and there is No touching her. I love how Ben didn't even try. He blended with the chorus and knew Alex was the star of that song. Damn!
@@nicoleb581 totally agree
2:45 Alex launching us all up to heaven with this run.
Outstanding special guest last night
AMEN!
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.
Thanks for watching

Alex hits that note, GOOSEBUMPS EVERYWHERE!
Alex Newell would be an AMAZING Audrey. Chills!
the casting I never knew I needed till now! 😍
Alex’s vocal just served Ben’s! That is how you give Diva!!!!! Simply an amazing talent
I think I choked with glory like three times during this. What a VOICE
lol. Thanks for watching.
Alex, your voice always blows me away amazing rendition guys.
Been a huge fan of Alex since Glee❤🎼🎵🎶🎤
She has such an amazing upper register. Oh my God. Applogies was placed and sang so wonderfully. You have me in tears. Love her
Ben always gives me goosebumps. Amazing duet.
Definitely gave me the chills listening to them last night. Thanks for watching
He always gives me a headache.
@@fairamir1 Don't listen then. 😐
@@oc5939 I assure you I do not
@@fairamir1 OK.

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
She has some great songs on GLEE!
Fabulous, Ben is a great Seymour, one of my fav songs to sing
Love this duet! Two of the best voices of our time.
#alexnewell
You have a voice of an angel. Sing your heart out, @alexnewell!
This is talent overload.
I think I've been waiting for this my entire life.
MUVA has indeed PROVIDED!!!! 😍😍😍
Alex is the bomb.. The best!
That was so killer omg the talent
Thanks for watching
Thus has to be the best musical theatre song video on RUclips fantastic duet … both amazing … Alex … just wow .. more please ❤❤❤
Alex is an amazing performer and they ROCK

They paid Ellen proper homage by keeping the squeaks in, and thats brutal on the throat. S'why Ellen is an alltime icon.
I could listen to Ben sing forever. Such a great voice & Alex is a joy. Love "Suddenly Seymour".❤👍❤️
I would love to one day see Alex play the role of Effie in a broadway musicale production of Dreamgirls.
Voice of angels 😍😍😍
O.M.G. Amazing!
Thanks for watching
Please put this on an album!!

👏👏👏👏👏👏
❤❤
true pure talent ❤️ & average nepo baby
Impressive
YASSSS
Still can't believe Ryan Murphy snubbed Alex on The Glee Project - Alex is a national treasure
he didn't. he ended up on Glee!!
Breathtaking!!!
Ben have to play seymour sometime
I fell in love with ben from pitch perfect and alex from glee.. their growth has been amazing to watch😩😍
i can’t not cringe at ben platt now, but alex doing audrey is everythinggg, give them all the work pleaseee
Alex is true talent
1:28 Not Ben snapping his fingers.
Work! 🤣
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
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?
Alex is out of this workd
🥹🥹🥹🔥🔥🔥
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
Alex would be a great Audrey after Jinkx.
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
Stop comparing them to Ellen. Thanks.
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.
WOW! just WOW! Thank you for sharing this, 🙂
You’re so welcome.
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.
I always worry he is going to hurt people in the front row with his huge vibrato! I don't get the obsession either.
So woke
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.
Ben was mousy but Alex ... lordamercy gurl!! Wow
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.
FIRE her Stylist and Wig maker
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.
Must have moar Alex...
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 😅
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
@@Hal-x7l 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?
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
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.
To much. No soul. Nice but no soul
Alex is a true inspiration. Ben Platt is a piece of crap.
🥱
