This sounds like what if Jack Kelly went to Santa Fe. And this song made my bad gloomy rainy morning into a beautiful morning with the sun coming out--literally! I always be amazed by Jeremy Jordan performance. His singing voice is so powerful.
This is such a good example of classic musical standards vs. contemporary, modern musical theater. Both are beautiful and well done in their own ways, but you’d never find the classical, warm style of the original iconic golden age number written into anything in today’s broadway shows, whereas this version is exactly the feel most composers look toward now and what current up and coming generation is interested. It’s crazy how much the art form can change over the years, for better AND for worse.
i love Jeremy i been a fan since newsies and Smash. so talent .he one of those broadway singers that has really pop sensibility . and this truly pop version of this song. it almost unrecognizable in good way though . Great musical arrangement and of course Jeremy sings it beautifully.
I love the fusion here with classic and contemporary broadway style, but to me, personally, this fusion had a more Contemporary Christian Rock feel to it. Great song, and an amazing voice, Jeremy has. Always loved his voice when I first heard him sing!!
Ms.Rutledge's 2nd Period Class in Corpus Christi, Texas had been waiting all morning for this to drop! WE LOVED IT! way to go Jeremy! We look up to you sooooo much!
Was such an honour and privilege to have gotten to see him perform this live in London last year knowing we were gutting an exclusive. It's also great to know that he sounds just as good if not better live! He is such an angel and honestly the funniest and most entertaining concert I've been too.
Unfortunately I found this song a few months before my dog got sick, and now it can't bare to listen to it. It has become the anthem of our last days together and though those memories should be good ones, they are just pure heartbreak. I loved this song for the short while I knew it as beautiful.
Good point ha ha. That lighthouse/rock area is actually along the Hudson River (in NYC) It's called the Little Red Lighthouse in Fort Washington Park :-) Believe me, you DON'T want to go in that water...EVER ha ha ha.
I dunno, the melancholy way he sang made it almost seem like he was daydreaming of being back home on the farm rather than as someone supposed to be right there in the corn.
The title is R AND H goes pop, i feel that means it’s gonna be remade into a pop song which is why it doesn’t sound like the original. I love it, to me it has a contemporary new music broadway sound but I could also hear this in the radio. Jeremy is one of the best singers I’ve heard and he slayed this!
My cousin is Ron Raines and I have heard this song performed in the traditional way a hundred times. I love the new arrangement! Rogers and Hammerstein were great composers and I think this was a great tribute to great writing! Just my opinion!
I absolutely love this! Musical theater going pop is my new favorite thing and there's no one better to arrange the music than Ben Rauhala. Also, Jeremy Jordan is so good I'm crying 😭❤️
When I first saw the title, I thought..."Ugh! Jeremy, you're too good to be singing boring songs from Oklahoma." But I was pleasantly surprised...that the song was actually good, that is. Jeremy is always awesome.
I cried, that was so beautiful. I love Jeremy Jordan and not because he was in Newsies the musical (BTW, he sang so well in that show.) but because he puts so much emotion into what he is singing, which just makes me feel happy inside. 🥲😪
What an absolutely outstanding arrangement of such an great song, best I’ve ever heard! Of course it obviously sounds amazing because of Jeremy, he is beyond amazing. 😍
Anyone feel like this sounds more like Christian rock, or even country, rather than pop? Don’t attack! It’s still AMAZING, just INCREDIBLE! Holy smokes, I’m haunted by this, and totally in love 😍, But I wouldn’t put this in the pop category.
To the people who are bothered by melody and lyric changes, the setting of the video and the fact that it wasn’t recorded live: Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein were creative people, so hopefully they would have taken it as a compliment, that people would love what they wrote so many years ago, were inspired to build off of it and create something new. This may inspire people, who haven’t heard their work, to go and listen to it. I love that even though some of the melody and lyrics are shuffled around, the spirit of what the song is about remains the same. Jeremy, Ben and Nathan created the feeling of the song without hay fields and cattle and sunshine. How you feel about a place or a time, is in your state of mind. The video is about a concept, it’s not about perfect lip syncing. Stop being critical and just enjoy it for the lovely thing it is. I think it’s all absolutely gorgeous.
There’s a concept that I learned in my musical theatre classes that says that you need to find a scenario that makes you feel the feeling of the song whether the words match that scenario or not. This is that concept put into video. I think that’s super cool.
For someone who grew up watching this musical a lot, this song is my favorite. His version is amazing. My heart melted when I first heard this in January. I remember seeing this when I was at work and I couldn't help but get home faster to listen to it.
Absolutely beautiful! A wonderful interpretation that connects the past with the present. And a voice that brings out the best in any arrangement. Congratulations R&H for continuing to strive to display the relevance of this great music to each generation.
I love Jeremy Jordan and I love R&H, but I wasn't expecting the melody to be altered. It didn't feel like a reimagined version, but rather a completely different song.
He's an excellent singer, but this is not the song. It's not even really a good pop version of the song. Richard Rodgers was known to be a stickler about any liberties being taken with his music, even slight rhythmic variations. I think we can say with some confidence that he would have loathed this. I cannot see the point of this performance of the . . . well, I can't say "this performance of the song," as it's not a performance of the song.
Yup. It should be called Hammerstein goes pop, because they are ignoring the composer. It's pretty though and his voice is great, but it's a new song with familiar lyrics.
Wow, just wow! Phenomenal. I Love Jeremy Jordan! And this was a beautiful version of that song. I wasn't ever a fan of the song before, but this was absolutely amazing.
I’m a simple person, I see Jeremy Jordan, i like before I hear a word.
The biggest of moods
that's not being a simple person, that's being a simpleton
ME TOO
“my friend jeremy jordan” is the biggest flex.
Laura at the end: "so, did you enjoy that performance?" as if there was an option not to enjoy it
Beth Gable THANK YOU
This sounds like what if Jack Kelly went to Santa Fe. And this song made my bad gloomy rainy morning into a beautiful morning with the sun coming out--literally! I always be amazed by Jeremy Jordan performance. His singing voice is so powerful.
entertainmentstarz1 this is the best comment
His tone is just magical. This is too good. Cannot wait to hear the rest.
Jeremy has one of the best voices I have ever heard. So much character. It can cross over so many genres
I have never needed a song to be on iTunes more than I need this. Right now.
Jodie Hughes this and jeremy jordan’s version of she used to be mine and losing my mind amd basically everything he has ever sung!😂
How is this still not available to buy somewhere?!!
out now ♡
im genuinely so in love with this man its problematic
Everything sounds perfect coming from Jeremy Jordan`s mouth. He could sing the ingredients of a shampoo bottle and I would listen.
Sumo Wrestler #26 Lololol same tho
Exactly what I was thinking!
I can just imagine him belting, "dimethiCOOOONE SULFAAATE!"
I could literally say the same thing about Anthony Rapp, Gerard Canonico, George Salazar, Reeve Carney, & Brendon Urie of Panic At The Disco
Horizon Penblade Bahahahha yesss
1. I love everything that Jeremy Jordan does.
2. I'm getting Hit List vibes from this style.
Somehow it still sounds like a contemporary musical theater song
That's because the melody doesn't bear any resemblance to the Richard Rodgers tune
Ok, Jeremy just needs to come out with an album of just covers. This is absolutely amazing.
I saw Jeremy sing this live in London
Tears.
Buckets of tears
How is he so beautiful and so talented? Never mind, we don’t question perfection such as Jeremy Jordan. 🧡🧡
Jeremy’s voice is amazing, as usual. What a perfect arrangement! Ben Rauhala does it again!
I've never wanted to ever be a backpack this bad😂😂😂
Kinda wishing that this wasn’t studio recorded, he is such an amazing live singer
I played Curly in Oklahoma last May. So. Yeah, way to show me up Jeremy.
Theater geeks unite!
(Idk lol)
Ha ha
Oh snap!!! They REALLY SWITCHED IT UP!!!! Shook!!!!!! This was sick!!!!!!!!!
I fell in love with Jeremy Jordan's voice on "Duet," the musical episode of The Flash that crossed over with Supergirl.
That episode did not do him any justice.
I fell in love with him on newsies
NEWSIES DUMBO
Watch The Last Five Years on Netflix immediately then. He sings the whole movie and it is my favorite movie.
@@rowen3013 why do you find it necessary to call me a dumbo? Because I first heard him on something different than you did?
Upload it to spotify please!!
Jajajajajajajaja 53 likes, not bad.
Your wish has been granted today
out now ♡
The fact that Laura, Ben, Jeremy, and Nathan worked on this all together makes the greatness that this even better.
This is such a good example of classic musical standards vs. contemporary, modern musical theater. Both are beautiful and well done in their own ways, but you’d never find the classical, warm style of the original iconic golden age number written into anything in today’s broadway shows, whereas this version is exactly the feel most composers look toward now and what current up and coming generation is interested.

i love Jeremy i been a fan since newsies and Smash. so talent .he one of those broadway singers that has really pop sensibility . and this truly pop version of this song. it almost unrecognizable in good way though . Great musical arrangement and of course Jeremy sings it beautifully.
I first saw him in Joyful Noise. I've also seen Newsies and the Tangled series
I LOVED him in smash 😍
the entire album is inspired. a whole new generation gets to hear what splendid songwriting is.
I love the fusion here with classic and contemporary broadway style, but to me, personally, this fusion had a more Contemporary Christian Rock feel to it. Great song, and an amazing voice, Jeremy has. Always loved his voice when I first heard him sing!!
Would love to hear him sing this song with the melody intact.
Same; I really loved this version! but that makes me want to hear him sing the original that much more :)
Richard Rodgers is rolling over in his grave.
Succinctly what I feel. :-)
yeah, Richard Rodgers did NOT approve this mess
I can thoroughly enjoy this performance if I forget the original melody. There is no question that Jeremy is a gifted singer. So think of it that way.
Ms.Rutledge's 2nd Period Class in Corpus Christi, Texas had been waiting all morning for this to drop! WE LOVED IT! way to go Jeremy! We look up to you sooooo much!
Tenors need to leave my classic beautiful baritone musical theatre songs alone.
Was such an honour and privilege to have gotten to see him perform this live in London last year knowing we were gutting an exclusive. It's also great to know that he sounds just as good if not better live! He is such an angel and honestly the funniest and most entertaining concert I've been too.

I am literally screaming rn. It's like my body physically melts when I hear his voice!!!!! HOW DOES HE BELT SO EFFORTLESSLY?!?!?!?!? It's not human!
How is he THIS beautiful?
Jeremy's voice is beautiful and so soothing. He is an amazing singer and he is so talented. I could watch him sing all day long. :)
So. Is it odd to anyone else that he's singing about cows and corn and meadows while he's sitting on rocks on the beach?
Ashleigh Strange Yes, but his voice is so beautiful that I don’t care. 🤗
Good point ha ha. That lighthouse/rock area is actually along the Hudson River (in NYC) It's called the Little Red Lighthouse in Fort Washington Park :-) Believe me, you DON'T want to go in that water...EVER ha ha ha.
Best comment of the bunch! A flight to flatter lands just wasn’t in the budget (same with a green screen for him to sing in front of)
I dunno, the melancholy way he sang made it almost seem like he was daydreaming of being back home on the farm rather than as someone supposed to be right there in the corn.
the sky is cloudy too, not too beautiful morning

Now, I can confirm that it’s a beautiful day after seeing this. ❤🎉
All I can think about when I hear Jeremy sing is Varian. My apologies. Jeremy is such an amazing singer. I look up to him for that. 😀
What a gift this young man has,God bless him.
I heard him sing this in London and I've been thinking about it ever since! I'm so glad that this finally exists!
Same!!
This here's the famous Jack Kelly. He once escaped jail on the back of Teddy Roosevelt's carriage
I'm here and I'm ready. BRING ME JOY!
Chloe Omelia My thoughts exactly! ❤️
Did you meet Jeremy?
We all need to greet each morning with singing this song.
I need this on Spotify please 😍😍😍😍 Jeremy you’re a god! Slay my life 😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 congratulations on your baby girl ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I knew Jeremy as an actor... what a beatiful surprise!
0:27 and I wanted to say, Oh what a beautiful song this IS!! WOW! I love this song! And he has an amazing singing voice! Whoa
I never thought I'd be equal parts "YAAS QWEEN" and "you kids get off my lawn"... but here we are.
I absolutely love this! Musical theater going pop is my new favorite thing and there's no one better to arrange the music than Ben Rauhala. Also, Jeremy Jordan is so good I'm crying 😭❤️
*holds tenderly in hand* this... this sparks joy
This was one of my mom’s favorite songs. I teared up. This was beautiful
his voice is just so pure and sweet ... jeremy's got his own brand of magic
A beautiful human, singing a beautiful song, with beautiful vocals. Help.
Breaks my heart when someone so talented is underrated!!!!
When I first saw the title, I thought..."Ugh! Jeremy, you're too good to be singing boring songs from Oklahoma." But I was pleasantly surprised...that the song was actually good, that is. Jeremy is always awesome.
“Boring songs from Oklahoma” Lololol nah
oklahoma is not boring, trust me. you should try living there.
Ben is an arrangement GENIUS.
I cried, that was so beautiful. I love Jeremy Jordan and not because he was in Newsies the musical (BTW, he sang so well in that show.) but because he puts so much emotion into what he is singing, which just makes me feel happy inside. 🥲😪
One of my most favourite voices in the world! 🥰
i would like to thank the director for 3:06-3:08 that was a lovely shot
His voice gives me chills! It's dazzling and he is so gifted!!❤
What an absolutely outstanding arrangement of such an great song, best I’ve ever heard!
Of course it obviously sounds amazing because of Jeremy, he is beyond amazing. 😍
I can’t stress how much I need this to be on Spotify 😫
So talented human. He can easily win Tony Grammy and Oscar. We'll see
IKR
I need this as an alarm clock sound. Who could wake up grumpy??!
If you say this didn’t give you chills then you ARE LYING
...Sent my wife into hysterics yet again. Thanks, you jerk. Something deep and core to your DNA MUST be messed up, no one can be this amazing. :)
This man can sing any genre of music and nail it!. Jeremy is my new favorite singer!
The feeling you get when you now realize he was probably singing/recording this knowing he was about to be a dad. I cry T-T
Jeremy Jordan helps me FEEL the songs he sings and I thank him for that!💖
i want him to sign it as in it's original broadway style with Jeremy's natural ability
Oh man I can’t wait for the rest of what’s to come!
Anyone feel like this sounds more like Christian rock, or even country, rather than pop? Don’t attack! It’s still AMAZING, just INCREDIBLE! Holy smokes, I’m haunted by this, and totally in love 😍, But I wouldn’t put this in the pop category.
That voice 😍😍 I need Jeremy to be in a disney movie singing. Please oh please.

There’s a concept that I learned in my musical theatre classes that says that you need to find a scenario that makes you feel the feeling of the song whether the words match that scenario or not. This is that concept put into video. I think that’s super cool.
Also, the way he says “cattle.” Retweet if you agree.
I need this song on Google play so bad
I’ll never get tired of listening to or watching this video. Absolutely beautiful version of this song! Well done Jeremy and everyone else involved!
For someone who grew up watching this musical a lot, this song is my favorite. His version is amazing. My heart melted when I first heard this in January. I remember seeing this when I was at work and I couldn't help but get home faster to listen to it.
His voice is Heavenly. I would love to hear him sing the original!
Absolutely beautiful! A wonderful interpretation that connects the past with the present. And a voice that brings out the best in any arrangement. Congratulations R&H for continuing to strive to display the relevance of this great music to each generation.
I fell in love with his voice from Newsies and I’ve seen so much more of his work and all of it is just so good I love him
Going through some classics with my granddaughter this morning and found this amazing modern version….thank you
This needs to be released as a single or on an album or some frickin thing its amazing!
DANG SON I CAN'T BREATHE
Am I the only one who thinks he look like Jack Kelly in this video.
Small Town Sisters Modern AU in Newsies where Jack makes it to Santa Fe.
Just an amazing voice! He's got it all!
🤔🤔🤔
I was thinking more like Winn Schott
Idk what drugs y'all are on but he looks like that guy from Bonnie and Clyde,,,, dk his name tho
Benjamin Rauhala and Jeremy Jordan can do no wrong!
This is honestly one of my favorite songs ive heard him cover. Its just perfect, as he always is
🗣 GIVE THIS MAN HIS TONY AWARD ALREADY 🗣
I was at the concert he sang this first at. It was incredible
SOMEONE PUT THIS MAN ON AMERICAS GOT TALENT RIGHT NOW!!
This proves that the Oklahoma open meadow of corn stalks can and does exist in the mind’s eye.
He is one of my favorite vocalists of all time.
Holy moly that was beautiful! Nathan did an amazing job shooting this, and Jeremy KILLED IT, as always! So excited for the rest of this series!
Jeremy Jordan makes me feel so many things when he sings 😍😍
Looks like he finally made it to Santa Fe! 💓

Started like country pop...lol Love Jeremy Jordans voice!
Oh my, what a voice.
Wow, just wow! Phenomenal. I Love Jeremy Jordan! And this was a beautiful version of that song. I wasn't ever a fan of the song before, but this was absolutely amazing.
yes sir, my year's starting out great
I've never been a big fan of Jeremy Jordan, but this is a great vocal.
