To ME, she’s my only Jenna. I like Kat and Betsy and all of them, everyone is incredible without a doubt, but Jessie just does something to me. Voice of an angel and she acts the part phenomenally. Seeing her act live is an experience.
From that first note, it has always been Jessie. I try to convince myself that other Jenna's have done it justice (and they have come close), but Jessie just owns this song. Her tone and warmth is just beautiful. It always makes me cry.
Definitely agree that Jessie is special, but I've never felt so alive when Shoshana sang it. It was breathtaking. She got a 3 minute standing ovation after singing it. Truly incredible.
Musical theatre isn’t about getting the best riffs or stuff like that. It’s the emotion that you get from a song and the emotion that the actress or actor puts into their work that makes it what it is and this song does it
and it’s what makes people think “oh why are those theatre kids putting in all that work for one show?” Because of the emotion and connection to it and dedication :)
It's the story too. Talented artists feel extremely lucky to have roles like this with story that resonates to them and to a lot of people. I didn't feel so affected when I first heard this song alone but when I saw the show, God, she's talking and singing to the baby she used to say she didn't want. But the baby becomes her turning point and compass into finding her self worth and know what to prioritize that will pave way to true happiness. This show is just one of the proofs that exist that there's nothing a mother can't do. Their child is their pride and part of their soul.
Are you kidding? The original Jenna is Sara Bareilles, the composer of all the songs!!! NO ONE sings those songs like she does! All one has to do is listen to Sara's "What's Inside" cd. Sara created Jenna!
I feel like Jessie really embodies Jenna when she sings this song, she really connects with the emotions. Other Jennas have done well, but I really *feel* it with Jessie.
In Jessie's final curtain call Sarah and Jessie Nelson said that in writing the songs they were considering 2 things: 1. If it fits the story 2. If the song gives justice to Jessie's talent (or something like that)
Whenever I hear Jessie sing this I constantly find myself saying (in my mind) “don’t cry don’t cry DON’T YOU DARE CRY!”...then I cry. Cause, you know, wow. Dayum woman!
Jessie's portrayal of Jenna perfectly fits the 'she is broken, but won't ask for help; scared of the life that' s inside her', plus her vocals embodied Jenna's story. I think that's why most people can't get over her 'She Used To Be Mine' performances 😊
Her voice is so rich. So full of tears, so soft, so strong. Allison Luff’s take is marvelous, but Jessehas this astonishing regret, bittersweet. Judith
This is master class material on how to pull your audience and have them hanging on your every syllable. The vulnerability just guts me every time I hear it.
My lord - I thought Shoshana Bean was the one and only - But I learn Jessie is the OG … Simply Inspirational - Tonelicious Emotionality. I love that I’m so late in discovering this girl for the first time … I’m actually just a little in love with her.
jessie will always be my favorite jenna but shoshana is a very close second❤️ jessie just has so much emotion and power in her voices and just brings jenna to life, it’s beautiful. this is my favorite rendition of this song because it’s just so simple, no big riffs, it’s just so perfect!
ramdelossantos Sadly, it wasn’t. It was Katharine McPhee. :( (All the Jennas have been amazing! I’m not trying to say that I didn’t like Katharine as Jenna. [Just wanted to clear that up incase you ‘re wondering.])
When I first heard this on Broadway back in 2016 I was moved by the emotions, now almost five years later I am still moved and in awe of her voice. She's a great singer and person!
Now that's how you know it's truly a work of art. I remember first hearing SHUTB back when I was like a sophomore in college and just last weekend I finally saw the musical.
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
ok so i’m working on this song with my coach rn and we gotta talk ab how hard holding the “mine” is at the end. the riffs and stuff make it way easier but damn. damn. my voice is about to break everytime. this woman. wow.
For some reason, whenever I would sing along to Sarah B's version I could never get that ending. But after a couple times practicing with Jessie's version I'm able to get those notes down

I have never seen her live. But I agree with you. I loved seeing Kat at London’s dress rehearsal, she was amazing! but Jessie’s Jenna is incredible.
Definitely agree that Jessie is special, but I've never felt so alive when Shoshana sang it. It was breathtaking. She got a 3 minute standing ovation after singing it. Truly incredible.
I felt the same until I saw Shoshanna. They are both incredible.

THIS.
It really does!!
I wish it was available to more people. A performance like this has the ability to change lives. ❤

THIS is why she is the ORIGINAL Jenna... her voice always moves me.
she is the best jenna, then shonna, then desi oakley
@@PeterParker-hf8ok that is blatant West End cast erasure, Lucie Jones is top 3 at least

Y’all joking right - Keri Russell was the OG Jenna from the movie so technically she’s the “original” Jenna
Somebody should ask Sara if she wrote this song specifically for Jessie because wow
I feel like Jessie really embodies Jenna when she sings this song, she really connects with the emotions. Other Jennas have done well, but I really *feel* it with Jessie.
Sara saw the movie and she identified with Jenna. It was the first song she wrote.
In Jessie's final curtain call Sarah and Jessie Nelson said that in writing the songs they were considering 2 things: 1. If it fits the story 2. If the song gives justice to Jessie's talent (or something like that)
I am new to her and i am absolutely floored!!!!!
She kind of did. I mean not literally, but while they were putting the show together, Jessie was already attached and I’m sure they had her in mind
Whenever I hear Jessie sing this I constantly find myself saying (in my mind) “don’t cry don’t cry DON’T YOU DARE CRY!”...then I cry. Cause, you know, wow. Dayum woman!
SAME
@@ohthelovelypoems Every time!
Why am I the opposite? I'm trying to say in my mind to "Please cry! PLEASE CRY!" but end up not crying. I want to cry to sad songs too. 😢
Ugh, Jessie's version makes me so much more emotional than anyone else's.
The way she sings the words “Lonely” and “rewrite” get me every time. Wow. Wow. Wow.
And “start over”
She’s so good she gave herself chills.
Damn right
Val Orlandini i cry every night Just to fine and waiting for someone to come

You know who I would love to cover this song? Dolly Parton
Ohhhhh that would be AMAZING
Please tell me I’m not the only one who whenever they hear this song they just immediately cry???
You’re not alone
No, you're definitely not.
I love the cracks in her voice. It helps her express her emotions so well. 🥺😍
Her voice is so rich. So full of tears, so soft, so strong. Allison Luff’s take is marvelous, but Jessehas this astonishing regret, bittersweet. Judith
Incomparable, and I’ve listened to just about all of them. Emotionally, interpretatively, a level above everyone, even the great Sara Bareilles.
I love how she added the country sound to it she is so fucking amazing beyond talented
*her voice does this song so well, I like the more country sound to it! and I dont normally care for country* :)
1:22 the way her voice breaks I can't 😭🥺🥺🥺♥️
This is master class material on how to pull your audience and have them hanging on your every syllable. The vulnerability just guts me every time I hear it.
How is she so incredibly good at looking tearful without actually crying (thus preserving her ability to make full use of her instrument)
Jessie is the best Jenns ever!!
Jessie mueller is just amazing. I could listen to her sing the phonebook
She reminds me to Barbra Streisand 😻
From the second she stepped on stage in her Broadway debut I said the same.
This is amazing. All these new Jenna’s adding in all these riffs are amazing but the way she can move people to tears is something special
My lord - I thought Shoshana Bean was the one and only - But I learn Jessie is the OG … Simply Inspirational - Tonelicious Emotionality. I love that I’m so late in discovering this girl for the first time … I’m actually just a little in love with her.
Such emotion and talent. Almost reminds me a little of Alanis morrisette. So beautiful.

jessie will always be my favorite jenna but shoshana is a very close second❤️ jessie just has so much emotion and power in her voices and just brings jenna to life, it’s beautiful. this is my favorite rendition of this song because it’s just so simple, no big riffs, it’s just so perfect!
Wow. I’ve never heard of this artiste but I’m nearly in tears. The best rendition!
I really hope she closes Waitress on Jan. 2020 😢😭
oh my god same. I am heartbroken it's closing!
my heart is just broken
As much as I would love Jessie, there's something lovely about Sara closing the musical she wrote the music for! Like it's come full cirlce.
Why is it closing. I'm coming to NYC in april and would have loved to see it.
ramdelossantos Sadly, it wasn’t. It was Katharine McPhee. :( (All the Jennas have been amazing! I’m not trying to say that I didn’t like Katharine as Jenna. [Just wanted to clear that up incase you ‘re wondering.])
it's so hard doing school work while watching this... I always stop whatever I'm doing to see her and hear her... She's amazing.
She is to this song as Jennifer Holiday is to And I Am Telling You. It's been done by many great singers but the acting is just incomparable.
When I first heard this on Broadway back in 2016 I was moved by the emotions, now almost five years later I am still moved and in awe of her voice. She's a great singer and person!
Now that's how you know it's truly a work of art. I remember first hearing SHUTB back when I was like a sophomore in college and just last weekend I finally saw the musical.
Instant chills when she started singing. I've never heard of this singer before, but I could feel her emotions deeply.
How to be perfect by being imperfect 101.
Ngl, she won me over as my favorite Jena. I saw Sara Bareilles last week and I adore her but just hearing Jessie's voice wins me over everytime.
NOBODY can sing this song like Jesse
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
I hope Jessie goes on again as Jenna before Sara closes Waitress : ((
I could listen to this 100 times a day. Beautiful!
I hope you meant to add a 1 ahead of it lol
Omg! I meant 100 times per day!
Tamanna Das fixed it, thanks for pointing out!!’ Amazing voice
what a gorgeous raspy voice! aaahahahh
Why does this song touched my heart so much and make me cry and miss my late mom. This song is so beautiful 😢😢
ok so i’m working on this song with my coach rn and we gotta talk ab how hard holding the “mine” is at the end. the riffs and stuff make it way easier but damn. damn. my voice is about to break everytime. this woman. wow.
Wow.
Angel angel angel she’s such an angel
That’s just heavy....and absolutely beautiful.
After seeing Jessie for the first time last week on broadway for The Minutes, this is amazing!
You are fortunate
She is such a force of beautiful nature ❤️
Her voice is just crystal clear here.
This performance is so perfect

Masterful. Stunning
Masterpiece!
Beautiful
Im weeping openly
Hadn't heard of this girl before now but have to say she is doing Sara Bareilles major justice. Great cover 👌👍🌟
She Originated the role of Jenna in waitress, which i'm sure you're aware is the musical that Sarah Bareilles composed this song for
It's not a cover when she originated the part! ;)
Masterful.
For some reason, whenever I would sing along to Sarah B's version I could never get that ending. But after a couple times practicing with Jessie's version I'm able to get those notes down
The SOUUUULL, sweeettieeeeee 👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥🔥
Wow❤️
WOW. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
Wow! Loved this song.... just subscribed....
❤️💕❤️
how am i just seeing this
Οκ. Magnificent
это гениальное исполнение !!!!!!!!!!!!
southern girls are the best
Brava!
So fucking good
Damn girl.
How did 13 people dislike this? Are they deaf?
Fucking amazing
Morissette Amon cover is spectacular
anyonr having trouble watching this vid? it seems too heavy that it wont load at all? i can watch all vids existing except this one?? weird
The audio is really out of sync for me, which is annoying.
Way to make me ugly cry
This song should be played at funerals. It's perfect
Welp, not many things tightens up the throat and fills the eyes with a watery substance on this 45 yr old dude, but this does...
Like
I fucking died.
Vim por causa do Luke Islam 🤗
Jessie was made for Waitresss i have seen it 4 times did amazing
Does anyone know how long she played Jenna?
MI.X.KO one year on broadway
@@DanielJosephBaker and before at the out of town tryouts
Lovely singing. Unfortunately the audio is out of sync with the video here and that was distracting.
Something wrong the video wont load
Get a new phone, tablet or PC or whatever it is you’re using. Time to upgrade. Or get a faster internet.
Happened to me too. But just fast forward few seconds. Then you'll be fine.
@@jhassan9310 thanks man
