It's when she lets go, just before the camera pans away from Hugh, he looks up and gestures to the ceiling and you can tell he just broke right in that moment.
At this point they had been begging her to play that role. She agreed only to sing it for the soundtrack. They talked her into singing for the greenlight session. The entire time Hugh Jackman told the writing team to write a big show number specifically for Settles voice tho she had not agreed to the part. She felt she was only a stage actress and was afraid to take her big shot . But Jackman knew he wanted her and wouldn't take no for am answer . This is actually the point where she kinda agreed to play the role. This back story gives this moment and the movie even more meaning.
Fun fact: This was actually the moment that got Keala the movie... that wasn't her role until this happened. Hell of an audition, huh? Thanks for the reaction video, guys!
Melanie Kozak I didn’t really see her as a super important character until this scene. Then, I realized she’s the one who leads her entire “freak” family when they’re left to hang. I love her and this
No she had been cast in the movie before it was greenlit... That was the second last song written and it wasn't originally for her.. she got the song in the rewrite but had always had the part.
@Kathryn Villanueva I honestly don't know who it would have been otherwise...I can't imagine that role with anyone else in it! She's a rock star, isn't she?
4 years later and I still go back to that video and I still cry and/or bawl my eyes out EVERY SINGLE TIME 🥺 I would have loved to be in that room, pure magic 😍
I don’t know her personally but Keala graduated from my highschool. Makes me proud that such great talent came out of a tiny highschool out of the North Shore on Oahu.
You said exactly what I thought - After I watched this, I should've waited longer to see the movie because this video was incredible to watch Keala come into her own, and OWN the song and the entire energy of the room respond. The movie paled a bit. This is real life. I will watch the movie again, it was great, but the video brought me to tears and dancing at the same time.
Soly Siren sad thing is disney needs an break doing original songs let some other artist do songs for them cuz this is why the greatest showman should of one because it actually has a true meaning the problem was there was an short before coco made coco won on purpose which Im a bit upset but I think Olaf's frozen adventure could of won it has an emotional feeling to that song than remember me and Coco isn't a musical it's made in Spanish so It was an musical im a bit mad this animated movie should save it for kids choice awards and yes why it has soo many awards than kealas song this is me cuz people been complaining the movie was too long we should say sorry to disney let the other short movie won with an amazing meaning ok
The scene this song is feathered in is SO POWERFUL! They start in public and on the streets where people are calling them freaks screaming at them to go home, but half way through it changes to where they’re now preforming in front of an audience of people who are singing and clapping along with them. In the end, people loved them. They showed them who they truly are. Now that, that’s how you send a message.
If this made you get in your feels...watch Hugh Jackman performing From Now On with the cast at the greenlight presentation to studios. He was told NOT to sing...and he couldn't contain himself when it came to this song. Bring tissues.
Even though I'm not a big fan of musicals, this might be the most beautiful and moving music clips I have ever seen. The energy in that room is beyond amazing.
This is the best reaction video I’ve ever seen. I appreciate you guys for giving honest commentary and not just watching the video. I love her performance and how it resignated with her on a real level. I wanted to be in the room with the cast. The energy was so beautiful. ❤️
I saw those tears men... i love watching you even more because you have soft hearts. Way to go guys. I watched the movie last night and yes for me as of now this is the greatest musical movie ive seen. It's a magical music.
I loved that video of Keala so much!!! Ive rewatched it countless times. It was so good to see you guys react to it and see how you both got dragged into the emotions of the video as well :)
i love the moment right at the end. her little shrug like 'yeah this is me' with the little smile. it is right before the clip cuts out and it always makes me smile.
I love your reaction. I swear I've watched that video like 30times in the last couple of weeks and every time, I do mean every time I get tears in my eyes if not full on crying. Thanks for your reaction.
Hell yea I love everything about her she’s so confident in her self and I have to admit she made me confident in myself from her singing every song made me just get up and dance and even get emotional thank you so much
I love you guys! I’d never seen you before until this video and because I’ve seen so much hate-filled, negative videos from young men on you tube I thought you were going to make fun of her so I was thrilled to see you react as I did when I first saw it! I’ve seen that video probably 50 times already I watch it over and over again and I absolutely loved your reaction! -you’ve got heart & you’ve restored my faith in young men! BTW I’m subscribing to your channel based SOLEY on this video! I can’t wait to see your other videos!
you guys are killing me... i know I'm a year behind with this comment but I just watch your "From Now On" reaction.... ugh... I love your reaction but I just cant get over this movie. I'm so glad you guys reacted to this... You got another sub. Such an amazing song!
"From Now On" is my favorite song from the movie. And the behind the scenes video of Hugh singing (when he's not supposed to) is SO powerful. Oh my word...
Hi guys.... I'm new here....I love your reaction....the tears in your eyes .....so honest reaction....thank you .....the world needs people like you ....who not scared to be emotional
lanie m lol right! - its a cover and kesha and a few people were asked to do covers and there was a full on youtube campaign cause they were afraid that the movie wasnt going to do well
I wasn't really interested in seeing The Greatest Showman until I happened across the video that you reviewed here. When Keala started to believe, I became a believer! I have the movie version of the song bookmarked to pick me up itn blue days, and it always works! And... you guys rock; I'm now a Subscriber!
I think this channel is so popular for a lot of reasons, but you guys consistently wear your emotions so genuinely on your sleeves. It makes for the perfect reaction channel. Thanks guys 👍
This is my favourite video from you guys! Loved that you reacted to this one, I came across this the other day. Bloody beautiful! Keep up the great work!
I know you did this 5 years ago, but she was not supposed to be in the movie. Huge wanted her to do this and that was how she got cast in that part. Was so nice to see this again, love this movie. Enjoyed watching your reactions to this video.
Still boggles my mind that this performance had more heart/emotion than the incredible version in the final movie, or maybe I had watched this version so many time before actually seeing the movie that the movie version list some of its surprise/punch

The Reel Rejects great reaction guys. You gotta see the one with Hugh Jackman in "From now on" it's as powerful and great as th is video
Have you notice that Jeremy Jordan ( Winn) from supergirl is there? He makes coros with other people in other song
I join the chorus of please do the "FROM NOW ON" its easy to find!! There is so many broadway people in this room its insane!!
The Reel Rejects React to From Now On with Hugh Jackman, it's the same thing as this one, but with Hugh lol
Watch hugh jackman greatest showman behind the scenes from now on
Her entire story of being a background singer, not being 'good enough' to be front and center.... Look at her now! Keala, you are an Inspiration!!!
Everytime she grabs Hugh’s hand I start to cry. Right at that moment. It’s so damn powerful!
JaimeHabets me too 😭😭
It's so incredible and fascinating how much passion and magic there were in that room
like that small room isnt big enough, it was going to explode with the passion and emotion
It's when she lets go, just before the camera pans away from Hugh, he looks up and gestures to the ceiling and you can tell he just broke right in that moment.
JaimeHabets I agree
At this point they had been begging her to play that role. She agreed only to sing it for the soundtrack. They talked her into singing for the greenlight session.

This is actually the point where she kinda agreed to play the role. This back story gives this moment and the movie even more meaning.
I'm gonna cry, this makes me so happy, thank you so much for sharing this
Six years later and I still tear up every time I watch this video.
Fun fact: This was actually the moment that got Keala the movie... that wasn't her role until this happened. Hell of an audition, huh?
Thanks for the reaction video, guys!
Really? 😮 whose role was it supposedly? That moment was powerful
Melanie Kozak
I didn’t really see her as a super important character until this scene. Then, I realized she’s the one who leads her entire “freak” family when they’re left to hang. I love her and this
No she had been cast in the movie before it was greenlit... That was the second last song written and it wasn't originally for her.. she got the song in the rewrite but had always had the part.
@Kathryn Villanueva I honestly don't know who it would have been otherwise...I can't imagine that role with anyone else in it! She's a rock star, isn't she?
@fofiax I agree 100%...she's awesome!
so all those people who are singing along, those are some of the biggest names in broadway right now including tony winners...
Nicole Wiseman they’re in similar company. Keala is a star.
What's the name of the girl in white? I love her energy
Brandon Monroe It’s Carrie Manolakos
@@enimsekips Do you know the guy in beanie and the girl beside Hugh?
Any idea who the guy that stands on his chair and sings the beginning of the second verse is?
4 years later and I still go back to that video and I still cry and/or bawl my eyes out EVERY SINGLE TIME 🥺 I would have loved to be in that room, pure magic 😍
You guys should react to the one where Hugh Jackman wasn’t supposed to be singing because of his nose surgery but he sang anyway
James Vivar From Now On I believe it's called
josi hughy Most definitely!
Alright spoil it for them
Poor Jeremy Jordan
I don’t know her personally but Keala graduated from my highschool. Makes me proud that such great talent came out of a tiny highschool out of the North Shore on Oahu.
That’s amazing, I love hearing about when these celebrities come out of seemingly nowhere from humble backgrounds
The writers in the background are having a blast! Especially the one on the piano.
She broke The Wolverine! She is amazing
She took everyone, including us, to church!!! All the feels.
Will there ever be a time when I don't cry will watching this?
No, I get emotional every time.
reppinGAalways probably not. I still cry every time!!! This is to powerful of a song not to cry or feel some type of way
No
Never.

You are so right. As amazing as the scene in the movie is, this trumped it.
Based on this performance alone that song HAS TO BE nominated for an Oscar.

Great reactions!
4:51 i dont think ive seen anyone who wasnt moved by this moment. The energy in this room is fantastic and hugely uplifiting

Literally watching her soul bloom in front of our eyes.
This is one of my favorite movies and soundtracks.
I have watched this movie so many times. This makes me cry every time. Even Huge got teary-eyed.
This is it - There will never be more musical emotion in a room.
I'm so happy you guys were able to react to this!!!!!
Hell yea I love everything about her she’s so confident in her self and I have to admit she made me confident in myself from her singing every song made me just get up and dance and even get emotional thank you so much
That guy in the chorus not only has an amazing voice, but is a GREAT hype man. We all need a jamming sweater guy in our lives. 😂
so emotional
Sie ist so stolz auf sich und alle die beim Film dabei waren. Jedes mal wenn ich diese Video sehe, muss ich heulen. Es ist so schön
Ja, gleichfalls. 😭😍
The power of music is crazy.
Your faces say it all!! Exactly the face I make every single time I watch the film love it
I've watched this video several times and it makes me cry every time! It's so powerful and inspiring and you can feel the magic in the whole room.
About the most honest reactions I have ever seen. I watched the movie last night, and this song and that scene in the movie had me crying.
Omg 2021 here, you look so different. In the best way.
You 2 are the best, together, so real! Cried here & with Hugh Jackman's "From Now On"!😍

The first time I saw that clip. It brought me to tears. And then I had to watch the movie again!!! Great movie!!
loved watching this reaction! thanks for sharing!
I love music and movies. I wish I could have been there. I've never ever seen so much emotion and talent in a room.
Now I love the song even more. That particular song and 'A Million Dreams' really resonate with me. Oh, man, I'm teary eyed !
I always cry when I watch this video she is so amazing and the emotion is outrageous🤩🤩🥰🥰
This song is such a powerful message and she is the perfect choice for singing it.

I cant stop tearing no matter how many times I watch that video
Please react to “From Now On” behind the scenes - Hugh Jackman!!!! And “Come Alive” live performance commercial!!!!!
yes!!! please!!!
"From Now On" is my favorite song from the movie. And the behind the scenes video of Hugh singing (when he's not supposed to) is SO powerful. Oh my word...
Hi guys.... I'm new here....I love your reaction....the tears in your eyes .....so honest reaction....thank you .....the world needs people like you ....who not scared to be emotional
And then Kesha has to come along and take it. Keala will always own this song!
firespinnerman it was just a cover lmao
lanie m lol right! - its a cover and kesha and a few people were asked to do covers and there was a full on youtube campaign cause they were afraid that the movie wasnt going to do well
They both are so powerful in a different style... They have in common so many feelings going through their voices
i cried watching it then and each time i watch it... and feel it when you all watch it too!
Makes me cry and clap every time.
That song moves mountains. And souls.
Please watch the From Now On workshop too! That one's maybe even more amazing.
Her Raw emotion in this gets me everytime
I wasn't really interested in seeing The Greatest Showman until I happened across the video that you reviewed here. When Keala started to believe, I became a believer! I have the movie version of the song bookmarked to pick me up itn blue days, and it always works!
And... you guys rock; I'm now a Subscriber!
I think this channel is so popular for a lot of reasons, but you guys consistently wear your emotions so genuinely on your sleeves. It makes for the perfect reaction channel. Thanks guys 👍
Such a feel good song! Great movie!
When i first watched the original video i cried because she has such a beautiful voice you felt the song
Checkout her on the Graham Norton show. She didn't want to do the song, but Hugh kept encouraging her. she talks about it.
I could watch that a million times and I’d still tear up
You can see when this song came to life.
You should watch it again paying attention to the piano player, who is one of the writers of the song. 💜
Such a powerful song and video!!! I cry every damn time!
This is my favourite video from you guys! Loved that you reacted to this one, I came across this the other day. Bloody beautiful! Keep up the great work!
Still makes me cry
Love this performance so powerful .at the end was so emotional
You should watch the From Now On one with Hugh Jackman! It’s incredible.
I love this song and u cry every time I hear it.
I'm A HUGE fan of the movie, the song, Keala, and that behind the scenes moment. Enjoyed this reaction video so I'm liking and subscribing! 💜
Oh, I loved this so much. You're awesome xx
This song is my anthem! ♥
The day no one cares for issues or problems just love and passion
You guys are seriously adorable to watch ✨
Appreciate you reactions to this video. Keala is phenomenal!
Loved your reaction to it! Had the same reaction. Was so speechless. 💖
I know you did this 5 years ago, but she was not supposed to be in the movie. Huge wanted her to do this and that was how she got cast in that part. Was so nice to see this again, love this movie. Enjoyed watching your reactions to this video.
You were feeling it, he wasn’t...he was just clapping along.
and Hugh Jackman nearly starts crying... Awesome
Can't even count how many times I've been back to watch this reaction!
react to hugh jackman performing ‘not the boy next door’ at the tony awards :-) you’re in for quite the surprise with that one!
I love how in to it they guy playing the keyboard is
It was like she took us to church. So spiritual.
I think we can all agree:
Keala honey you dropped this 👉👑
This is why, we LOVE you guys so much.
I found it so much more powerful than in the movie too haha
Awesome movie, watched it and will get the blueray asap. Good reaction guys, that performance surely gives people goosebumps at the very least.
I don't have many friends. I'm glad I have you guys 🙂
That was awesome! Magical!
I really love this movie
Fantasiy Books This Film Nominated From Oscar 2018
its amazing did you shed a wee tear ?
Still boggles my mind that this performance had more heart/emotion than the incredible version in the final movie, or maybe I had watched this version so many time before actually seeing the movie that the movie version list some of its surprise/punch
Definitely!! I love this behind the scenes version much more than the actual movie one. This pulls in the heart strings
