Love it. He really managed to portray the anger and cockiness in the first part, however the frustration of truly not understanding what there is to it wasn’t really there
I am not suprised he is in such high demand for stage, and film etc .After the way i heard him sing Billie jean Aaron is a fabulous artist , he could play absolutely any role from Lt Cable in South Pacific, to Raol in Phantom ,he has a very special gift he is a total "all rounder".
Fabulous! I feel like a lot of people treat this song like a regular belter, but for me he really captures the essence of the message in the small voice he uses when he finally "makes a wish"... "...Somebody hold me too close". Like it sounds kind of silly but he needs to say it anyway because it's the truth.
Someone to hold you too close Someone to hurt you too deep Someone to sit in your chair And ruin your sleep Someone to need you too much Someone to know you too well Someone to pull you up short To put you through hell Someone you have to let in Someone whose feelings you spare Someone who, like it or not Will want you to share A little a lot Someone to crowd you with love Someone to force you to care Someone to make you come through Who'll always be there As frightened as you Of being alive Being alive Being alive Being alive Somebody hold me too close Somebody hurt me too deep Somebody sit in my chair And ruin my sleep And make me aware Of being alive Being alive Somebody need me too much Somebody know me too well Somebody pull me up short And put me through hell And give me support For being alive Make me alive Make me alive Make me confused Mock me with praise Let me be used Vary my days But alone Is alone Not alive Somebody crowd me with love Somebody force me to care Somebody let come through I'll always be there As frightened as you To help us survive Being alive Being alive Being alive
Takes skill and practice to sing technically like this. He can be thrilling with his vocal calisthenics. Also takes being fit like an athlete to keep it going. He appears to be a busy man. I'm new to alot of what Aaron has done And I know he's done plenty .All I know is that when he does some of Sondheim's music, he kills. He actually emotes.
He is an amazing performer. Just saw him in Maria and now Being Alive. He uses everything he has and more. In fact, he could try one of the easier operas like Die Fledermaus. Don't worry, your coach or teacher will teach you German pronunciation. It's easy to learn. Takes some memorization. Easier to sing in your own language of course. Very impressive. First became aware of him in Schmigadoon.
I think he’s wonderful and the performance is superb, but Dean Jones rendition in the Company documentary is worthy of the Gods. It’s other worldly. Of course Dean had a full orchestra and the original cast. Also, he had Sondheim right there to coach him. Actually, I love both renditions.🤔
@@iChaseTube agreed rauls is best but raul has a rich baritone like voice while still being a tenor So I think it’s not the weight that brings the performance up, but the characterization
Thanks for sharing Ariana, I’m not a fan of Aaron anymore, like I used to be but I’m, and will always be a huge fan of his voice, he sings so beautiful ❤️
Great job on this not easy song. He nailed it. Beautiful intonation. Kudos to the piano player - great arrangement.
Love it. He really managed to portray the anger and cockiness in the first part, however the frustration of truly not understanding what there is to it wasn’t really there
Aaron is one of this generation s great performers.

I know he's great at portraying emotion when he sings. But I feel like he's had his heart broken real bad!
It's called depression
...
Is he? I'm not sure
😊 - guys - it’s called acting
Hilarious 😂

I love the idiosyncratic movements he uses to show the anxieties of Bobby!
I admire Aaron more every day. When he sings,he also is acting out each song,turning each into a tiny play.
Someone to hold you too close
Someone to hurt you too deep
Someone to sit in your chair
And ruin your sleep
Someone to need you too much
Someone to know you too well
Someone to pull you up short
To put you through hell
Someone you have to let in
Someone whose feelings you spare
Someone who, like it or not
Will want you to share
A little a lot
Someone to crowd you with love
Someone to force you to care
Someone to make you come through
Who'll always be there
As frightened as you
Of being alive
Being alive
Being alive
Being alive
Somebody hold me too close
Somebody hurt me too deep
Somebody sit in my chair
And ruin my sleep
And make me aware
Of being alive
Being alive
Somebody need me too much
Somebody know me too well
Somebody pull me up short
And put me through hell
And give me support
For being alive
Make me alive
Make me alive
Make me confused
Mock me with praise
Let me be used
Vary my days
But alone
Is alone
Not alive
Somebody crowd me with love
Somebody force me to care
Somebody let come through
I'll always be there
As frightened as you
To help us survive
Being alive
Being alive
Being alive
It sure seems like he was about to cry in 2:36. I heard he got really emotional with this song on stage.
Impossible not to get emotional with this song. I cry every time I sing it
Luxe Manila Rooms Say yes he did. I was incredibly lucky to see him from the second row.
Takes skill and practice to sing technically like this. He can be thrilling with his vocal calisthenics. Also takes being fit like an athlete to keep it going. He appears to be a busy man.

Saw him play this role at the Barrington Stage Company 5 years ago or so. He was fantastic.
He is an amazing performer. Just saw him in Maria and now Being Alive. He uses everything he has and more. In fact, he could try one of the easier operas like Die Fledermaus. Don't worry, your coach or teacher will teach you German pronunciation. It's easy to learn. Takes some memorization. Easier to sing in your own language of course. Very impressive.

He’s trained in opera 💀
A duet of this between Ramin Kamirloo and Aaron Tveit would be soooo perfect.
Except for Ramin’s endless vibrato.
A heartfelt performance.
He's an amazing singer and actor, he loves acting❤️going to work with that untill Broadway opens again✨🙏
Absolutely stunning!!
Wonderful rendition of this fantastic song.👏👏👏👏
Wow wow wow, this might be the best rendition of "Being Alive" that I've ever heard.
I think he’s wonderful and the performance is superb, but Dean Jones rendition in the Company documentary is worthy of the Gods. It’s other worldly. Of course Dean had a full orchestra and the original cast. Also, he had Sondheim right there to coach him. Actually, I love both renditions.🤔
@@garyschwartz6738 I disagree I think Dean Jones’s tone is too heavy for this song, it needs the bell of a tenor, my favorite is Raul Esparza’s
@@iChaseTube Raul Esparza's Bobby is the Definitive take for me as well.
That being Aaron's Bobby is solid as well.
@@iChaseTube agreed rauls is best but raul has a rich baritone like voice while still being a tenor
So I think it’s not the weight that brings the performance up, but the characterization
i could cry i love him
He can do no wrong
no harm, no harm
where do i donate so they revive this with him
Mygaaaad!!!
Wonderful doesn’t hurt he’s eye candy
He sure is
Killed it!
zero dislikes is super telling
Powerful
Uau. Apenas, uau.
Thank you for the videos ! anrina, do you know the pianist's name?
You're welcome! His name is Bryan Perri
Does anybody know what key this is in?? TIA!
Thanks for sharing Ariana, I’m not a fan of Aaron anymore, like I used to be but I’m, and will always be a huge fan of his voice, he sings so beautiful ❤️
What...happened?
Victoria Em nothing I guess, just time😊
HE IS SO PERFECT AAHSUJED
hey I was at this performance! this is the new years one right?
hey! actually this one was after his New Year's performance. Happened on Jan 17th 2019. Cheers!
Does anyone know what key this is?
Primeiro
does someone knows the chords?
who is the accompanist? because 😍
Brian Perry
Olaaaa
is there anything he can't sing??
I wish the piano did not override his voice
The piano was too loud
Great voice overkill for this song. Bobby is controlled passion. Dean Jones is a hard act to follow
Lmao raul Esparza is the hard act to follow
doesnt hav the depth
