She seems very genuine, and real. Rare in an artist nowadays! I hope she continues to sing such powerful songs. We need singers like her to have a presence! 😁
It's such a simple, simple song (I'm not surprised it didn't win) but sung with such power from Keala and enthusiasm from the chorus singers that it is incredibly uplifting. People from all walks of life see themselves in the lyrics. I think it's fabulous.
I've watched the video several times and it tears me up all the time. She's literally the song. I can feel the energy and power that the song conveys. It's like you feel you don't fit in. Just a wonderful song❤️
i watch this video all the time, i cry every time. the power in this room is off the charts - my understanding is a studio head went up to her after and said "i don't know who you are but you have just booked your first movie" they were also greenlit, not sure if it was after this by Keala or when Hugh Jackman sang. both are such powerful emotional performances - Thank you for sharing your reaction with us, it is the same as mine everytime I watch this.
The way everyone came to life after the first verse is amazing. Keala is an incredible singer and this whole soundtrack never fails to make me feel good.
I'm never able to get through a video of this without getting teary it's starting to get embarrassing. Thank you for sharing this honest reaction with us. I'm glad I found you since I went through 4 other videos that put me off because they were too loud for something I myself reacted the same way you do smiling and holding back tears that I can't quite believe is being caused by a song.
VERY powerful. I wish I could sing half as well as she does because I would be singing it through the store with my middle age, purple hair, over weight walking with a limp self, because This is ME!
This is a song that so many people can identify with, in so many different ways. Maybe you had a time when you felt that the world was against you. If you have never felt that, I envy you. But, if you have, this song and performance must bring tears to your eyes,. I've never seen so much musical energy in a room. Emotionally, it's even better than the scene in the movie. To have been there would have been an indescribable gift.
You held it together a lot longer than I did, Rob. What a powerful message. I love Keala and have followed her career since I first saw her in Maine doing "The Coat Of Many Colors'. Her voice is so powerful, but more than that....she doesn't just sing a song, she becomes the song. *CHILLING*
The first time I listened to this was in my car driving to work at 4am. I was so overwhelmed I had to pull over before crashing my car into something for not being able to see through the tears. Totally unexpected reaction.
Thank You for posting this. You are a wonderful sensitive gentleman. I raised my son to not be afraid to show his feelings. You have to watch this movie. It is wonderful. Keala is fantastic. This song has touched so many people around the world including me. Hi from Atlantic Canada. I just discovered Keala and this movie this past summer 2020 during the pandemic. Take care and stay safe.
Im a 40 yr old father of 3, an electrical engineer and own my own gaming studio....Every bit a "man's man"....and let me tell ya, ive watched this probably 100 times and STILL gets me. I cry like a baby every single time. Great heartfelt reaction bud!
This right here is what great music can do. I love that so many of us can identify to this and it runs so many different emotions: from powerful and uplifting to taking us back to those times in our lives where we feel like the outcasts or on looked down by others for whatever reason and remembering what we've been through and come from. It all happens at once in this song and it is powerful. I couldn't stop playing this song when I first heard it. Great reaction vid. Great to see so many people from all over have very similar reactions. This is a beautiful song that connects to the human condition and spirit.
Keala goes on a true emotional journey and takes us with her, can't thank you enough for making this reaction video, I thought I was being soft when I got teary 👍🏼
This song is so amazing, such emotion, makes me cry every time, to hear you say you don't want to see it? You really should give it a shot, it's so amazing, the sound track on it's own is better than the movie, but it is still so incredible.
Oh I WILL see it! I didn't want to film this reaction initially because I have not seen the movie and wanted to wait until I did. However, I decided I couldn't wait :)
You made the right choice in not waiting, this song is my favorite, I love her dearly and i love listening to this every day, my fiance took me to see this when it was at our local theater and i fell in love with it, Hugh did such an incredible job with it, he is so dedicated to everything he does, it really shows with every shot, more so with his song " From now on" same location as this, if you watch it, you'll understand what i mean with how much he loved this movie.
You just seem like the sweetest man in the world. I love your reactions and your personality! This song moved me the same way you did. Thanks so much for reacting! ✨😊💛
Omigosh! Rob you and your sweet heart! Somehow you pull the tears out of me every time! This was a pretty powerful/emotional performance..thanks for sharing!
I will never stop watching the "greenlit" video, and I haven't yet got through to the end with dry eyes! Gulp! Powerful! Saw Keala at London O2 last year, guesting on the Hugh Jackman Tour ... she blubbed at the end of "This Is Me" ... not a dry eye in the house!! Thank you, Keala. Thank you, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.
This is probably my favorite reaction video that I have seen so far and I love watching reactions to this video. You were just so into the moment. I love this video for what it brings out in everyone who sees it. ☺
this is amazing! i watched this movie so many times and about to rent it again since they removed it from netflex. i force all my friends watch it. I got to where she held his hand and LOST IT. the flood gates were open, that was surreal
I watch this at least once a week. It is by far one of the most incredible performances I’ve ever seen. Every single time I watch it I am singing along and absolutely cry dancing!
I love your reaction rob !! It feels so real you can feel it the song what you react to . Thanks ! Btw i really love this song because its makes me brave to show the world :')
This workshop is just magic and the moment Keala Settle proved herself to the whole world! I recommend This is Me by Keala Settle on the Graham Norton show too. It was a stunning live performance with backup singers and dancers and full band. Even if you choose not to review you might just enjoy a personal look.
Dear Rob, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I have heard this at least 100 times, but your reaction made me cry...especially at the end! This is for everyone that has ever been "different". It is my anthem now, as I suffer from depression, anxiety, PTSD, and low self esteem. My favorite line..."There's nothing I'm not worthy of." I hold tight to that as I push through the very rough sea of life. We are already worthy. Now we must be brave enough to throw off the weight of the anchor and boldly find the shore. God Bless You!!🙏❤
Me, too!! So powerfully beautiful! GOTTA REACT to Hugh Jack MAN I the same room *From Now On* -also very emotional! These 2 performances had me bawling! Thx!😢😢
To me it feels like her personal little liberation. She was hiding behind the music stand, didn't want to stand out, the moment she stepped out from behind the stand you can see her learning to enjoy it. As someone with severe stage fright and low self esteem I feel that so much. When the vibe in the room is right you can let go and just enjoy yourself
You said it really perfectly. It has you in tears, but somehow in happy tears. The unloved and unwanted people say "f*** you, this is me" and don't care about the mean ones.
4 Years later! You have a new Subscriber! You are so honest and so full of Pation! Dude, i had to give you that Sub! You made me more cry, than Kealla Settle in that Moment! Keep up man!
Watching this video which I’ve seen several times, then watching it for the first time through you, is the first time I watched it and cried. I really listened to the words this time. It finally resonated. My friends Jack and Blake want me to play it as a cello piano duet with Jack’s niece for their wedding. And I needed to find that emotion, power and strength and your video really helped me find that again. Thank you. ❤️
I relate to this woman so much and watching her do this is so powerful to me and I'm so proud watching her just belt her heart out I remember the first time I played guitar and sung in front of people after I had finished I had to leave the classroom coz I was shaking and had start crying I have huge stage fright so to watch her do this and over come her fear of singing in front of people and to sing such a powerful song its amazing like I've watched this so many times but my eyes can never leave her
Thank you for allowing yourself to share your emotion with us. A lot of reaction people don't. I subscribed for that first and foremost. We shed a tear right along with us
I felt like you when I saw the video for the first time. Your reaction was great and so honest. The best of all reaction videos because you were sincere and I could see how emotionally affected you were. Keep it up :)
I absolutely love watching the array of emotions that come across your face as you watch and listen to these videos! Strong, powerful piece of music. TY!
Heyhey, I'm a bit late to the party buuut wanted to say thank you for sharing! Your reaction is one of the most genuine ones I've ever seen and the tears are real. That's so beauti- and powerful. Have a good day!
This is the most moving thing I've seen this entire year. I've been lucky to be involved in productions and know first hand how the emotion fills the room. This is an experience I hope everyone gets to have at some point in life!.
Vuoi trattenere le lacrime? E' impossibile!!! Questo film e le sue canzoni sono tutte bellissime e danno delle emozioni incredibili. Grazie di esistere "The Greatest Showman".
You're the only one doing these reactions that ever gets it. Who's moved in the way music like this should move you. For that, I thank you...again. (I know its true for me and I suspect its true for you...deep feelings come from deep pain. I got nuthin' but love for you, brother.)
Been hearing this song for awhile now but it only caught my attention and punched deep in me when i saw this video,says a lot of me,,,this what i am ,,," this is me" in reality!!!
I love this song, I love this movie, I love Hugh and Keala, I love this clip. But I also love your reaction. More so because it was real since you hadn’t seen the movie before.
There’s something so peaceful about your eyes
Maram Alhaidari .... I think the same thing every single time I watch!
I love the sincerity and vulnerability. So kind and non judgmental. This is YOU. You're huggaluscious...💕
Yes, so true. Love the sincerity in his eyes
Omg I totally agree
I know right! It's so comforting
I've seen that video like 30 times already and it still makes me tear up.
SAME. The lyrics on top of her conviction in singing it is INCREDIBLE.
Same here
Same just the passion and love to the crat and artform is overwhelming.
OMG me too ;-;
Me too.
When Hugh Jackman cries, we all cry. No shame in that. I also squee happily every time I see Cynthia Erivo in this. Adore her.
Nope.. Still not able to get through this without my eyes getting wet. Powerful moment indeed. I need to see this movie.
Same...when I seen this movie at the movies every time I dried my eyes there I went crying again whether it be happy or sad.
When she starts crying and then Hugh starts crying, it gets me every time
I will NEVER not cry to this song. Workshop, movie, seeing her on tour, I don’t care. I sobbed.
Powerful for sure! Happy tears indeed, so emotional... Thanks for sharing!
I am currently stalking her other live performances of this song... OBSESSED! Hopefully I'll get to see the film next week! Thanks for watching!
Sweet Phil omg this song is Amazing 💖🙏😀👍
She seems very genuine, and real. Rare in an artist nowadays! I hope she continues to sing such powerful songs. We need singers like her to have a presence! 😁
It's such a simple, simple song (I'm not surprised it didn't win) but sung with such power from Keala and enthusiasm from the chorus singers that it is incredibly uplifting. People from all walks of life see themselves in the lyrics. I think it's fabulous.
But at least it won a Golden Globe :)
‘Coco’ was even simpler. It’s a damn funeral song. I’m still so mad.
Welp in my opinion "the thing is more simple the more Amazing it get"
No.
You're uplifting! Your reaction was my reaction 3 years ago. Through this video, I got to feel it again like the first time. You're amazing!
I love how everything it pans over hugh he's just getting more and more excited
I had the exact same reaction! Keala is an absolutely amazing performer! Watching her moment with Hugh was one of the most beautiful moments ever 🖤
My dear Rob, you are truly one of the most genuine souls I've ever had the fortune to see. Thank you for just being yourself.
For me the best performance to date...even though not technically perfect...was emotionally perfect ..her Oscars performance...that was awesome
I love this man and his tender heart! So sweet
I've watched the video several times and it tears me up all the time. She's literally the song. I can feel the energy and power that the song conveys. It's like you feel you don't fit in. Just a wonderful song❤️
That little "wow" at the end there. I felt that.
i watch this video all the time, i cry every time. the power in this room is off the charts - my understanding is a studio head went up to her after and said "i don't know who you are but you have just booked your first movie" they were also greenlit, not sure if it was after this by Keala or when Hugh Jackman sang. both are such powerful emotional performances - Thank you for sharing your reaction with us, it is the same as mine everytime I watch this.
The way everyone came to life after the first verse is amazing. Keala is an incredible singer and this whole soundtrack never fails to make me feel good.
I get goose bumps every time i listen to this song its so powerful. The bit that really gets me in that video is when Keala holds Hughs hand.
I'm never able to get through a video of this without getting teary it's starting to get embarrassing. Thank you for sharing this honest reaction with us. I'm glad I found you since I went through 4 other videos that put me off because they were too loud for something I myself reacted the same way you do smiling and holding back tears that I can't quite believe is being caused by a song.
Loved seeing your reaction to the song. It hit me the same way. Deeply!
VERY powerful. I wish I could sing half as well as she does because I would be singing it through the store with my middle age, purple hair, over weight walking with a limp self, because This is ME!
I love watching her sing because she reminds me of my mom and all I can say is that I truly love my mother.

Keala goes on a true emotional journey and takes us with her, can't thank you enough for making this reaction video, I thought I was being soft when I got teary 👍🏼
I love the way you react to this song. your eyes and your smile are expressing everything.
There’s a lot of fake emotion on reaction videos on TH-cam but your emotions are real. Love your reactions!!
She did a great job! So much power and energy in this performance.,
This song is so amazing, such emotion, makes me cry every time, to hear you say you don't want to see it? You really should give it a shot, it's so amazing, the sound track on it's own is better than the movie, but it is still so incredible.

When she grabbed his hand I lost it 😭
This video was like a hug that I desperately needed. From the video to your reactions.
You said it really perfectly. It has you in tears, but somehow in happy tears. The unloved and unwanted people say "f*** you, this is me" and don't care about the mean ones.

I can see the emotion at the end.... I feel so.. Triumphant every time I hear it.
I am a bully and two-time cancer survivor. Cried when I saw it and this song came on.
Speaks volumes and made it one of my bully anthems
You sound like me 4x fighter I cry then fight everything
Vuoi trattenere le lacrime? E' impossibile!!! Questo film e le sue canzoni sono tutte bellissime e danno delle emozioni incredibili. Grazie di esistere "The Greatest Showman".
I have watched this countless times and i still cry like a baby. So powerful!
I had the same reaction. I’ve watched this a dozen times, and I enjoyed watching with you.
You are my soul twin...lol. I don't know any other way to describe it. I always love your reactions 😊
You're the only one doing these reactions that ever gets it. Who's moved in the way music like this should move you. For that, I thank you...again. (I know its true for me and I suspect its true for you...deep feelings come from deep pain. I got nuthin' but love for you, brother.)

Man I am crying, again! I gotta go back and watch this movie again for the 3rd time. Nice review by the way❤
Powerful is an understatement don't you think? My tears were flowing you're such a sweet kind soul ♡
I love this song, I love this movie, I love Hugh and Keala, I love this clip.

More so because it was real since you hadn’t seen the movie before.
You have the kindest smile! Great video.
Your reactions are so pure. Thank you for sharing! ❤️
That was so uplifting and powerful thanks Rob ❤
Beautiful reaction!
