Thanks for watching friends! 🤗 Real talk: What did you guys think of the audio in this one? I got a mic but I have no idea what I’m doing. 🤣 is the audio better or worse than my other videos?
His performance really gets me because you know the character is describing what he wished had happened but didn’t - and later learn that that was how he broke his arm, but no one was there for him. Ben gives all that emotion and character, and it is so amazing.
When I first heard DEH, I just listened to the soundtrack with no idea what the story was really about. Loved this song and how happy it sounded. Then, I read the book and honestly DIED. This song has so many layers of emotion and it cuts me so deeply every time I hear Ben sing it. I mean, the whole musical is full of layers and layers, but WOW....you feel every single paper cut it gives you as if they squeeze lemon juice on them.
yay!! I'm so excited you finally got to ben platt, he's one of my favourite singers. I totally get not being able to choose a clip for him, I could literally listen to him singing the alphabet and I'd probably be completely blown away. also, as a slightly more general comment, I love how in-depth you get in these videos. you really go all the way in analysing the singer's voices and I find that really interesting, especially as you do it in such an easy to understand way. I can't wait to see what you react to next!! (also, 'ben platt could literally murder me and I'd come back as a ghost and say thank you' is such a mood, I can't even explain-)
When the line goes “I look around and he comes to get me come and get me” (something like that) I cry I just feel his loneliness and how he wanted someone can be with him and his friend and how when he “fell” from the tree he made Connor come for him in the song but in reality no one came for him. It makes me cry.
I love that he’s not just singing but he’s still in his character even with out anything to create it (costume etc) You could believe this song was written for Ben himself with how natural it comes.
Yay! I’m so happy that you reacted to Ben platt. He is absolutely amazing. Maybe you can react to Mariah Rose Faith In The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals? She is amazing that that too. Or Maybe Jordan Fisher because he is also amazing and was also a Evan Hansen on Broadway.
I was lucky enough to see Ben Platt when he was playing Dear Even Hansen on Broadway. He was unbelievable. Tears galore. Also Love love love this performance! I have been listening to this particular performance for a couple of years and thus never fails to make me cry. 😢
I'd suggest reacting to Darren Criss in A Very Potter Sequel with the song To Have A Home but I don't know if the quality is good enough since it's recorded in 2010, but maybe you could give it a try?
It’s songs like this that make me want to be in a big room with great acoustics and just sing my heart out all alone. I’ve only had the opportunity once and it was so freeing.
4:48 his adorable laugh and Hannah's reaction to it. Ben Platt gives me life. He's so amazing, and his voice is SO calming to listen to. Like, legit, his voice calms me down when I'm anxious and upset. Also, if you want to react to another Ben live performance, this one is amazing ruclips.net/video/NHhkDFBN3BM/видео.html
Of all the vocal coaches I’ve watched (and it’s...an embarrassingly high number), you have *by far* the best singing voice. You have an incredible timbre, your vibrato control is masterful, and you color your voice beautifully.
If you don't know whether you need a cry or not, put on this song, tears will flow if you need it! Ben Platt is such a talent that you feel his emotion in his voice.
I think I’ve seen this recommendation before, but I would love to see a reaction to something from Falsettos! Specifically I think “I’m Breaking Down” performed by Stephanie J Block or “The Games I Play” performed by Andrew Rannells! It’s one of my favorite shows and often doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. 😊 Edit: Something from a StarKid show would also be incredible! Their show Black Friday was especially good musically!
Ben Platt is one of my favorite singers as well! He's truly amazing with his voice. I think he's the person who has gotten me to making me cry. And it's hard to make me cry with music. Usually my heart swells or I get chills. His emotions are just so...grrrr! I can't find the right word for it. It's just so so so amazing!!!
Ben is such an angel and so so talented! Protect him at all costs 🥰 I absolutely love his solo album as well! I’ve seen so many people who’ve worked with him say they admire him for his work ethic which does not surprise me. He seems to put his heart in everything he does. PS you’re stunning!
Always just goosebumps ❤ especially this song, such a beautiful background when one knows the story with him actually being alone and loosing himself into this fantasy of, into this longing for not being alone anymore 💔😍🥺
Thank you for these videos! Your commentary helps me in my vocal training as I am learning to access headvoice in a mix and drop weight --- hearing you specify what is happening as these professionals sing and how to achieve certain things while singing helps me so much!
What I love about this particular performance is that he uses his breathing aid to acting performance and it doesn't hinder his singing performance! SO good!
Just scrolling through some of your older stuff as I’m a new fan and found this. I love Ben and this musical SO much! Your breakdown of the piece is amazing! Much love! ❤️
Would you react to Eva Noblezada? There's a great compilation of her here on RUclips, called 'My Favourite Eva Noblezada moments', if you're looking for a particular video to watch!
My favorite progression on a song. God it was so amazing to hear this song on the soundtrack the first time. Hearing Ben move from talking chest voice struggling with what to say, the high head voice when he 's unsure of his lie, belting when he's confident the lie is working, the calm "true friends on a summer day..." at the end when he knows he can get away with this. Telling a lie never sounded better.
I love your videos!!! I'm so glad you did a Ben Platt video!!! Could you react to Jeremy Jordan singing "Without a Believer" (a cut song from Waitress)?
I love Ben Platt's performance in the broadway musical, Dear Evan Hansen. He has an emotive voice. For Forever and Words are the two songs that actually brings tears to my eyes mostly because its a relatable song and he's bringing in the emotions to the lyrics. Attaboy! I like that you reacted to his performance. I have yet to see any other vocal coach react to broadway music so much. Glad for this channel to open up its music genre. Honorable mention to the strings - its subtle yet it showcases when need be
Ben Platt stans unite. Ps: you should react to Stephanie J. Block (maybe I'm Breaking Down from Falsettos!?). Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/JYfgkCuLeVI/видео.html
So 'Dear Evan Hansen' has a very special place in my heart. I learned about it through a friend and unbeknownst to her, I was actually going through a really dark time. And I remember that I played the entire musical on a loop for probably several months. The way that Ben sang these absolutely beautiful songs, it really resonated with me and it truly did give me hope that things would get better, that I would eventually be okay. And I'm sure a lot of people felt the same way I did when I found the musical. I don't know, Ben's music in general has helped me pull through. If ya read this, idk why you did lol but I love ya for it
Re Booth I saw him in theaters last August! I don’t think he quite topped Ben, but Andrew was a lot younger and I’m sure he’ll do even bigger things in the years to come!
Dear Evan Hansen was my true introduction to theatre, and it helped me out of a really dark place in my life. I remember the first time I heard Waving through a window, and it just stuck with me.
Actually he's one of my main inspirations!!! I want to be as good as him someday!!!!!!! I loooove him, his voice is just mesmerizing I could listen to him all day nonstop
How does a fictional story inside a fictional still make me feel like crying, when he falls from the tree omg! hes playing a part in film about a lie hes said litrally 2 fictions and still he get me, god damn ben platt, literally the only singer i ever heard that can do that to me. And on the most part im kind of sociapathic. Amazing ! Absolutely radiculous
Ben Platt... The emotion he can pull from his listeners. Dang. So good! No idea if you'll ever see this, but did you see Ben Platt's tiktok of No More Good Deeds? Breath....taking....
I'm a little surprised you didn't mention is tears and lip quiver at the end. I got to see Ben Platt in one of his last shows of DEH. I met Concert Master Justin Smith and gamed cellist Adele Stein (seen prominently in the background). Mr.. Smith told me about putting this very performance together: having to arrange/rehearse the music due to the added musicians (the play only has a handful of musicians) Thanks to Mr. Colbert for having Ben on to sing this song--the first time it was sung outside of the play. The 3 crescendos on the song, the lyrics and imagery, the Ben Platt performance, the instrumentation just make a recipe of perfection.
Ben platt is by far my favorite artists, and while all of his songs are incredibly beautiful, him singing "Vienna" by billy joel on The Politician, is amazing.
What I think makes him so A-MAZ-ING is all the little between things. Normally I don't like hearing breaths etc... but he uses them to show emotion and his excitement...those little grunts and uhs and vocal sounds between the verses, the unscripted moments just send his performances over the top of perfection.
Thanks for watching friends! 🤗
Real talk: What did you guys think of the audio in this one? I got a mic but I have no idea what I’m doing. 🤣 is the audio better or worse than my other videos?
Hannah Bayles I honestly didn’t notice a difference, maybe less echoey? i loved the video though!
I LOVE IT
the audio is amazing!!!
The audio quality is nice overall but there's some clipping when you sing examples
CAN YOU PLZ REACT TO ILLEGAL HEATHERS PLZ I PRAY I WILL BE SO HAPPY IF U DO
2:12 “Ben Platt could murder me and I’d come back as a ghost and thank him”
Saaaaaaamme
such a mood!
Oh man! Saaame
Let's face it, we already die from the feels of his music
Steph true dat
HAHAHAHAHAH
"Mom, why is my sister's name Rose?"
"Because I love Roses."
"Oh. Well then why is-"
"That's enough questions for tonight, Ben Platt's Vibrato."
this comment is too underrated
👀
fhdjdgf mood
I have never felt so called out
Amazing
*11 minutes of Hannah reacting like the entire musical theatre fandom*
I would highly recommend listening to the version of For Forever where four different Evans are singing it together. The harmonies are everything!!!
Thiiis. Would love to see a reaction to their performance ❤️
Yessss!!!!!! 💖 💖 💖 It's so good!!! 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖
YESSSSSS
It was AMAZINGGG
whats the video link? or the title?
Ben Platt is so iconic even his breathing is recognisable.
Like just the way he breathes before and after notes is his own.
Ben platt: opens mouth
Me: cries
Edit: holy crap I got likes! since when does that happen to me?
When I heard him SING River...... OMG😭😭😭😭
👁💧👄💧👁
You are found, Sad Potato.
This song is so emotional and then I watch Hannah get emotional and then I get even more emotional and now I am a blob on the floor.
"Ben Platt could murder me and I would come back as a ghost and tell him thankyou" ICONIC 😂 also, that Harry Potter shirt? Everything
I love Harry's face when the shirt folds, it kinda makes it look like he has a filter on or something, hilarious
His performance really gets me because you know the character is describing what he wished had happened but didn’t - and later learn that that was how he broke his arm, but no one was there for him. Ben gives all that emotion and character, and it is so amazing.
You should do George Salazar singing "Michael in the Bathroom" from Be More Chill!
O m g
I forgot that was a song that existedddddd bro...... I need to listen to that again cause it would always make me cry
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!
YES!!!!
YES OMG PLEASE HANNAH!
Yes please
When I first heard DEH, I just listened to the soundtrack with no idea what the story was really about. Loved this song and how happy it sounded. Then, I read the book and honestly DIED.

"I see him coming to get me. He's coming to get me. And everything's ok." That just kills me. No one was there to come and get him. 😭
I know! This song is so much more impactful after you know the whole story!
I basically sob and feel like hugging him so much
YUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Uggggggh. * sobs *
I love how every "vocal coach reacts" to Ben is literally just a fan-fest. He is an absolute Perfect Angel, and humanity doesn't deserve him.
And for good reason!
Please please please react to Aimie Atkinson's 'All You Wanna Do' or Natalie Paris 'Heart of Stone' from SIX!!!
YESSSS I WOULD click on that as fast as I can
Yess! Or Sam Pauly’s, her live is AMAZING!
AN THE GIRLS FROM BROADWAY AND AUSTRALIA AND WEST END AND OMG.
I'm sorry, they're all so great!
No matter how many times I hear this song, I will cry. No. Matter. What.
Can you react to Jamie Lyn Beatty singing. She has an amazing voice.
Annabel Crescibene YES. THANK YOU.
Or just the entire team of StarKid!!!
When the line goes “I look around and he comes to get me come and get me” (something like that) I cry I just feel his loneliness and how he wanted someone can be with him and his friend and how when he “fell” from the tree he made Connor come for him in the song but in reality no one came for him. It makes me cry.
"I love his vibrato" what a mood
I love that he’s not just singing but he’s still in his character even with out anything to create it (costume etc) You could believe this song was written for Ben himself with how natural it comes.
his live performance of ease my mind from his album where he’s standing on a box is soo amazing
river from The Politician is an amazing song of his!!
I love when he did Vienna on that show.
I have a suggestion! I was wondering if you could react to Katie Ladner sing “Kindergarten Boyfriend” from Heathers the Musical?
@@scarclem I LOVE your name!!
Yay! I’m so happy that you reacted to Ben platt. He is absolutely amazing. Maybe you can react to Mariah Rose Faith In The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals? She is amazing that that too. Or Maybe Jordan Fisher because he is also amazing and was also a Evan Hansen on Broadway.
Yeah Mariah is great. I loved seeing her in tgwdlm and her channel is such a treasure.
And Robert Manion! He’s incredibly talented but Starkid rarely show cases his range lol
Or Just the whole of starkid
I was lucky enough to see Ben Platt when he was playing Dear Even Hansen on Broadway. He was unbelievable. Tears galore. Also Love love love this performance! I have been listening to this particular performance for a couple of years and thus never fails to make me cry. 😢
I you haven’t already, you should react to Rachel Ziegler she is amazing!
Absolutely, she needs to react to her singing Anyway.

YES
I hope she becomes huge when West Side Story comes out.
@@corvus1374 I know she deserves it
Hes so amazing
Please tell me Presley Ryan is next 🥺
I NEED TO HEAR A REVIEW FOR HER SHE IS SO GOOD
Yea pleaseeeeee
I'd suggest reacting to Darren Criss in A Very Potter Sequel with the song To Have A Home but I don't know if the quality is good enough since it's recorded in 2010, but maybe you could give it a try?
I FIND that to be a great suggestion
Hannah needs to see this!
@@fixyrheart YES
i’ve been waiting for you to react to ben!!! truly one of the most talented vocals of our generation
It’s songs like this that make me want to be in a big room with great acoustics and just sing my heart out all alone. I’ve only had the opportunity once and it was so freeing.

Whatever Ben sings I literally cry at 😅 its amazing !
That moment when he sings(the sun burns) "bright" his face, the way he puts his arms out. Ben! You beautiful being!
Can u react to Presley ryan singing dead mom or Sophia Anne Caruso singing mama would cut song from beetlejuice the musical?
I think I’ve seen this recommendation before, but I would love to see a reaction to something from Falsettos! Specifically I think “I’m Breaking Down” performed by Stephanie J Block or “The Games I Play” performed by Andrew Rannells! It’s one of my favorite shows and often doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. 😊
Edit: Something from a StarKid show would also be incredible! Their show Black Friday was especially good musically!
Yes do the whole of Starkid
She must listen to Ben Platt's and Lin-Manuel Miranda's collab "Found Tonight"
Love that you’re always concentrating on the healthy techniques and advice 🥺 so sweet!!
Could you do the og west end cast of six next????
Please react to Aimie Atkinson singing All You Wanna Do from Six
YESSSSSSSS
Ben Platt is one of my favorite singers as well! He's truly amazing with his voice. I think he's the person who has gotten me to making me cry. And it's hard to make me cry with music.

Waving through a window from ben levi ross, omg he was soo good. Also ben platt is amazing in everything he does, so glad you joined the fandom

Ben platt: -breathes-
Me: -fangirling so hard-
Ben! We loooove you!!!!!
He stayed in character until the applause....then switched back to Ben, humble and wonderful.
Ben is such an angel and so so talented! Protect him at all costs 🥰 I absolutely love his solo album as well! I’ve seen so many people who’ve worked with him say they admire him for his work ethic which does not surprise me. He seems to put his heart in everything he does. PS you’re stunning!

Always just goosebumps ❤ especially this song, such a beautiful background when one knows the story with him actually being alone and loosing himself into this fantasy of, into this longing for not being alone anymore 💔😍🥺
For some reason, I would love to see a cover of YOU singing For Forever!!
Thank you for these videos! Your commentary helps me in my vocal training as I am learning to access headvoice in a mix and drop weight --- hearing you specify what is happening as these professionals sing and how to achieve certain things while singing helps me so much!

His Netflix special was amazing. I attended his concert in Dallas, TX and he is incredible.
Can you please react to Erika Henningsen one day? Also I love your channel. It helps me learn so much.
Ben Platt stans unite. Ps: you should react to Stephanie J. Block (maybe I'm Breaking Down from Falsettos!?). Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/JYfgkCuLeVI/видео.html
STEPHANIE👏JESUS👏BLOCK
Thank you for reacting to this! I love Ben Platt!
Please react to Jordan Fisher singing I Am Here from The Colors Purple!!!!! It’s sooooooooo amazing
You may have heard it, but Found/Tonight with him and Lin-Manuel Miranda is beautiful.
So 'Dear Evan Hansen' has a very special place in my heart. I learned about it through a friend and unbeknownst to her, I was actually going through a really dark time. And I remember that I played the entire musical on a loop for probably several months. The way that Ben sang these absolutely beautiful songs, it really resonated with me and it truly did give me hope that things would get better, that I would eventually be okay.

I don't know, Ben's music in general has helped me pull through.
If ya read this, idk why you did lol but I love ya for it
You should react to Andrew Barth Feldman! He was the previous Evan before Jordan Fisher,
Yes! He is honestly my favorite Evan besides Ben, I actually saw him in theaters and he was SPECTACULAR!
Re Booth same, i was scared bc i had seen people say he wasn’t the best but he blew me away
Re Booth I saw him in theaters last August! I don’t think he quite topped Ben, but Andrew was a lot younger and I’m sure he’ll do even bigger things in the years to come!
I love MHA and Musical Theatre oh for sure! in my opinion no one can beat ben but andrew was definitely better than i expected
OMG YES YOU DID IT I LOVE HIM
Dear Evan Hansen was my true introduction to theatre, and it helped me out of a really dark place in my life. I remember the first time I heard Waving through a window, and it just stuck with me.
I finally found someone to fangirl about ben platt with me.
could you react to kick it up a notch from starship, by team starkid, sung by dylan saunders?
Brian Jamie Jim and joey sung it too
Actually he's one of my main inspirations!!!
I want to be as good as him someday!!!!!!!
I loooove him, his voice is just mesmerizing
I could listen to him all day nonstop
Love this musical but Words Fail takes my heart every time.
This live performance is upgraded from his regular performing during the show...
Ben Platt will forever be my favorite singer
I loved his tone and vibrato on ‘briiiiight’ at 8:35 . Yaaas Patti LuPone wooork
I went and watched Dear Evan Hansen by myself and cried my eyes out. I have a soon to be teenager and it just made me think of him.
Oooh songs from "Jagged Little Pill" is incredible! Especially the song "You Learn"!!! The vocals are jaw dropping!
i am not a musical kid once so ever but ben platt will ALWAYS make me cry
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!
How does a fictional story inside a fictional still make me feel like crying, when he falls from the tree omg! hes playing a part in film about a lie hes said litrally 2 fictions and still he get me, god damn ben platt, literally the only singer i ever heard that can do that to me. And on the most part im kind of sociapathic. Amazing ! Absolutely radiculous
You should react to Carrie Hope Fletcher! Maybe "I Say No"?
I absolutely love how smoothly the shadow vowel makes “be alright sound”!! Without the secret y it would sound strained and shouty.
Ben Platt... The emotion he can pull from his listeners. Dang. So good! No idea if you'll ever see this, but did you see Ben Platt's tiktok of No More Good Deeds? Breath....taking....
you are amazing!! definitely gonna subscribe! love your analysis of ben platt and would love to see you do more stuff from him.
His tony performance of waving through a window was AMAZING!!
Ben's voice is an angel
I started listening to Ben Platt’s normal music and it’s so good
I'm a little surprised you didn't mention is tears and lip quiver at the end. I got to see Ben Platt in one of his last shows of DEH. I met Concert Master Justin Smith and gamed cellist Adele Stein (seen prominently in the background). Mr..

He is incredible😍. I love him so much❤️ When I saw Dear Evan Hansen with him I started cry after first song, how he was brilliant 🎶😍
Czech fan🇨🇿🇨🇿
I absolutely love The Platt Brothers (Jonah Platt, Henry Platt & Ben Platt) singing Ahavat Olam
Geeking out and crying to Ben Platt's singing while wearing a Harry Potter shirt, i SWEAR we are spirit siblings
