I often gripe with celebrity casting in musicals, but Jordin put her heart and soul into this. I find that celebrities - even when they can sing well - often don't bring life to the characters they're portraying like seasoned musical performers, but this was incredible.
It says something about a performance when, knowing nothing about the musical or it’s context, I’m here sobbing and feeling a strong emotionally connection to this character, lamenting her circumstances, her sacrifices, and encouraging her determination. What an amazing skill, a powerful voice Sparks has. What a beautifully written and composed song, to carry the weight of this moment.
I'm so happy to see her come so far. My mother used to sing with her on their worship team at Calvery chapel in Phoenix AZ. My mom was the one to tell her to audition for American Idol. My parents worked with her mom at Keller Williams. They were all wonderful and very kind ❤️
Every day Broadway stars have a disciplined knowledge of placement, so not only do I commend her for holding her own, but she really showed some excellent placement on the final act of the song and gave me my favorite finish of the belt.
Tell me you also day dream of the ways you’d sing this your own way because my favorite thing about the music from the musical is how every person has sung it so differently
Is it just me or do you guys also hear some people in the audience sobbing at the end? No wonder, I cried watching her performance. She is an amaaazing actress and singer.
Every time I hear this song, I think of my family, my mom. What she and we went through before my parent’s divorced. How she has climbed her way back to who she was before she got married. It’s a beautiful song and I’d never heard anyone else do it but Jordin killed it!❤
wow , i was blown away with her voice . so beautiful and i felt every word . what an amazing version, i think the best i have ever heard. thank you thank you thank you .
Yoooo I was lucky to see Waitress with Jordin, and WOW. I mean, Shoshana will always be my favorite because "duh, it's Sho, right?"... but Jordin held her own. Brought me to tears! She is SO UNDERRATED!
This performance and Shoshana Bean really made me feel the emotion behind the song. It’s helped me improve my own performance in terms of acting and I love it
What an amazing person, singer, performer. I never heard this song before until yesterday when it popped on unexpectedly. Now I can’t stop listening to it. Ear gold. No. Platinum. Just amazing.
LOVE how the audience was so immersed in the emotion that they didn't interrupt with applause at the usual spot after that second to last belt
I was waiting for it too !
You can literally hear people sniffling/crying 😢❤
I never seen someone sing this song with such ease. Wow
She KILLED this!!!!! Absolutely incredible!!
Jessie Mueller!! Look her up 😊
Exactly Jordan has a huge voice, this wasn't a stretch for her
Well…it is Jordyn Sparks.
Amen

Completely agree!
It says something about a performance when, knowing nothing about the musical or it’s context, I’m here sobbing and feeling a strong emotionally connection to this character, lamenting her circumstances, her sacrifices, and encouraging her determination.

Wow. I never really felt the true power and sadness behind this song until seeing this performance by Jordin. Incredible
She's a really good actor.
Jordin needs to release a musical album where she just sings the greatest songs from musicals. She's phenomenal
Hearing the lil sobs in the background of the audience made this even better
She sings like she is speaking
I am absolutely STUNNED by her ability 😮
4:54 onwards just the ease of them notes the power the resonance the vibrato tone everythangggg
This rendition was absolutely stunning. I'm in tears.
4:35 the way she sobbed out "just a little" CRUSHED MY SOUL
That second MIIIIIINE 😳 So much control. Perfection.
This girl sings this better than others. She's got a gorgeous powerful voice
A true American Idol💖💖💖
True
I miss jordin, wonder why she wasn't releasing albums
@@___hey_jooon ikr i miss her
@@___hey_jooon aside from doing this, she's mostly been focusing on her family. Her husband and kid.
She ate that YUP!!!! From the inflections in her voice to her facial expressions. Stunning
She killed that. I hope she gets back to putting out albums again.
I'm so happy to see her come so far. My mother used to sing with her on their worship team at Calvery chapel in Phoenix AZ. My mom was the one to tell her to audition for American Idol. My parents worked with her mom at Keller Williams. They were all wonderful and very kind ❤️
This is 100% the best version I have heard of this song. Jordin sounds simply INCREDIBLE singing this. Chills throughout!!
Every day Broadway stars have a disciplined knowledge of placement, so not only do I commend her for holding her own, but she really showed some excellent placement on the final act of the song and gave me my favorite finish of the belt.
the way she sings this song with so much ease.. like she's singing the abc... omg.....🤩🙀
goosebumps. goosebumps everywhere. all the women have done such great renditions with this piece, they all move me.
Tell me you also day dream of the ways you’d sing this your own way because my favorite thing about the music from the musical is how every person has sung it so differently
@@Mich_The_Elle absolutely ! I am always trying to curate my own rendition. That's what makes music so fun :-)
Definitely one of the best versions I've heard!!
Goodness, she makes it look insanely effortless! Her voice is beautiful 😭🥹
This is by far the most emotional rendition of this song I've seen.
Jesse Mueler is still first for me, but she's the only other one that brought me to tears, so they're very close imo.
She set the bar high with this performance. But just for herself, but for every Jenna that comes after her.
Is it just me or do you guys also hear some people in the audience sobbing at the end?
No wonder, I cried watching her performance. She is an amaaazing actress and singer.
I've seen this show at least four times live and I'm so sorry to every woman who has ever played Jenna but Jordin Sparks owns this song now
Every time I hear this song, I think of my family, my mom. What she and we went through before my parent’s divorced. How she has climbed her way back to who she was before she got married. It’s a beautiful song and I’d never heard anyone else do it but Jordin killed it!❤
That resonance is insane
Of all the version I've heard, this is my favorite. The emotions AND voice. Stellar.
I have watched at least a dozen people sing this song and she sings this so effortlessly that it had to bring the house down. Congratulations Jordin!
wow , i was blown away with her voice . so beautiful and i felt every word . what an amazing version, i think the best i have ever heard. thank you thank you thank you .
You just set the bar. I felt every emotion pouring out of every word.
I saw this live and she was amazing!!
Where was this
Omg I love jordin’s voice omggggg

I am absolutely obsessed with this. Please play this at my funeral.
Im so grateful I saw Jordin perform in this show. What a talent.
She conveys the emotion in this song perfectly, breaking at the right moments, and having to catch up as well.
So glad I came across this. Jordin is using her gift and talent to full potential here💖🙏🏼
I can not watch this without crying. It kills me every time. So well done.
Yoooo I was lucky to see Waitress with Jordin, and WOW. I mean, Shoshana will always be my favorite because "duh, it's Sho, right?"... but Jordin held her own. Brought me to tears! She is SO UNDERRATED!

I just cried to this. This touched my soul. She is absolutely phenomenal and so so beautiful ❤️

Her interpretation of jenna is so good it brings me to tears
