I've been bingeing on this song the last few days and I don't think anyone sings it as beautifully or effortlessly as Jordin. She has such controlled power too.
is it me or has Jordin gotten exceptionally better since Idol? I mean I've been a fan since day one! But her voice is so much bigger now it seems! Wow Jordin! WONDERFUL!
I'm so glad Jordin Sparks finally made her way to Broadway! Her voice- my GOD! Does she even need a microphone? Beautiful singer, who is pitch perfect, strong, with tons of emotion in her voice. What a future!
Pure raw talent. Always keep your image clean Jordan, don't let the industry goons influence you to drop your learned morals and principles. You, Melanie Fiona, Adele have mad talent - bring integrity back to the music industry.
Jordin was amazing! I was lucky enough to see the show when Mandy was still in it, but I think Jordin is right on her level. They're both my favorite Nina's
remember that time the AI judges keep using the term "broadway" to describe BAD performances, then all their best contestants end up on broadway or in movies of broadway plays? maybe they should rethink their ideas of "BROADWAY".... and then maybe we'd have more talented winners in the last few seasons....
WOW! such a change from her pop voice! its great! broadway is so different, and she sounds staight out from little mermaid or sumthing, but she's AMAZING!
I'm not saying she's a bad singer because she is amazing but I don't understand her intention at all in the song. I don't feel she performed that song well at all. She was just stating words focusing more on the sound than meaning, and for instance the lines "what will my parents say? If I go in there and say, 'I know that I'm letting you down'" is about confronting her parents so even though there should be signs of nervousness or hesitation I couldn't feel it at all.

i seriously wasn't expecting her to be that good. But wow, did she prove me wrong. Brilliant.

She ALWAYS blows me away.
In the Heights was my first chance to see Jordin live, and she AMAZED me beyond belief! SHE WAS AWESOME!!!
I love this, so so effortless! She has a gorgeous voice
The singing is exceptional, but that's all it is in my opinion. Her technique is so perfect that she skims over the raw emotion of this song.
+ChelleIsRandom That's exactly what my singing teacher said!
Agreed
holy crap, she's awesome. i wish i could've seen her!

Que fuera de las canciones sin los coristas!? … so Beautiful!
I wish I could be there to see Jordan Sparks perform on Broadway... she nailed the song on the Regis & Kelly Show .... Bravo
One of my favorite songs from ITH, and I looove Mandy as Nina, and I'm happy Jordin didn't disappoint with her rendtion. Break a leg tonight!
her voice is epic
The American version of Carrie Hope Fletcher!!

Wow!!!!!...wow!!!!...she sang the stuffing out of that song. Wow! Thanks Samantha for posting!!!
She sings it spot on, but I still can't get the emotion of this song out of her performance.
she is amazing and she's going to do great
who are those 3 deaf people who said they don't like this????This is amazing, it gave me goosebumps.
Jordin was amazing! I was lucky enough to see the show when Mandy was still in it, but I think Jordin is right on her level. They're both my favorite Nina's

i love jordin!!!!!
i love this girl :)
amazing!
i see eliseo! he is awesome!
jordan did amazing!
She's really good
AGH I LOVE THISSSS
She makes a wonderful Nina. Her voice is as sweet as the original I saw on broadway.
She's fab. But no one will ever compare to Mandy Gonzalez
I agree. :)
WOW! such a change from her pop voice! its great! broadway is so different, and she sounds staight out from little mermaid or sumthing, but she's AMAZING!
it´s so frustrating that i didn´t have a chance to watch it here in the Philippines...
@THEsoundOFmyMUSIC444 While I do like Jordan Sparks and Mandy was amazing, Arielle Jacobs will always be my Nina. She takes it to another level imho.
@gotrottin lol! Dont worry, they had female radio show hosts as guests for that week, so Kelly wasnt there :). Hope that helps you ;)
shes gonna do great. break a leg jordin :)
@becx1250 If I'm not mistaken, it's the George Washington Bridge.
@sammiigiirl72 Me too!!!! omg so many memories with this song! First year was miserable for me, hope yours was better than mine :(
iknow everyone is commenting on jordin but as far as the actual song. it was like my theme song my first year of college.
she is good, congrats to her :'(
Jordin, turn them feet out!!!!
@rogmofreakymar Agreed, that always bothered me, someone should tell them Broadway actually takes talent!
being right helps me sleep at night, so im all good XD
I was very surprised, I thought she would butcher it, honestly. How beautiful and different.
yup, truth and facts help me sleep in this world I call reality XD
ok thanks i thought it was but never mind
honest question; what is a GWB ?
@paranormal3 Arielle was NOT the original....Mandy was!
I SEE BIANCA MARROQUIN IN THE BACKGROUND

Actually, its okay to overact a little bit. It gives the stimulation that its even more somewhat realistic. But whatever.
It's not a concert. It's a story.
She is really good and i respect her voice a lot but she cannot compare with mandy Gonzalez xx
is this a christian song?
I don't think so..
No, it's a song from the musical 'In The Heights.'
She isn't aa good as Mandy gonzalez though
As good as she was, she doesn't even come close to Mandy Gonzalez...see video on the top right and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Mostly because she's been so horribly autotuned on her pop albums, I wasn't sure what to expect here. But it's definitely a wonderful thing.
no your wrong, obviously you are not in musical theatre or don't do well
HEY. She's not latina! SHE'S BLACK!
Moh Quinzelstix So? She could have Latina background. Don't judge a book by its cover
Oh boy. This chick could teach a class on overacting.
