Living Lights Please excuse me... I know absolutely nothing about singing. What’s wrong with sitting and singing? I don’t sing if it isn’t obvious lol.
Hey Riley, figured I’d step in and answer your question as quickly as I can. Standing up when singing makes it A LOT easier to support your voice. It makes it much easier to open the rib cage and tighten the lower ab muscles, enabling the diaphragm to become fully engaged. Doing this helps you to sing high notes with a lower amount of strain, and allows for a combination of the soft palate being lifted and the larynx going down. This means that he has a great amount of space to add head resonance making it easier to nail the high note. The fact that he can manage to support a Bb4 note at the end of the song while sitting down shows how comfortable he is with the support of his voice. Hope that helps!
i love how he did not just sing the song. He became the character while singing the song. that is talent ladies and gentlemen. It is not even him is the character.
As a person with crippling anxiety, Jordan absolutely captured the essence of constantly having ticks... it was almost uncomfortable cuz it was so real NAILED IT
I kinda love the way he sings it tho. When I get insecure while singing i start to play with it or not sing "seriously" because i feel insecure idk if that makes sense
Katrina Keith Aratea you dont need to have a certain voice to have bad anxiety. i have terrible anxiety and i sound the exact opposite of the type of voice you’re thinking of
Briana Rodriguez It’s actually amazing acting. The actors who portray Evan all do an amazing job of portraying someone with severe anxiety. sometimes anxiety causes you to do little tick-like things that you don’t even notice like biting your nails, messing with your shirt or clothes, heavy blinking, stuttering etc,.
Kpop Trash I have these ticks while I'm having what I call 'silent anxiety attacks' that can happen anywhere at any time and they are triggered by the most random things, this makes me really good at acting as characters like Evan cause I don't even need to do anything I will probably have an attack anyway
Broadway singers are the most incredible people- they don’t use any auto tune, they complete full shows all the time, they have incredible vocal range, and people like this come out of it and it is amazing.
Everyone is comparing him to Ben because Ben is the best Evan there will ever be. Ben has the look, the voice, and the ticks. Jordan is extremely talented but his voice isn't as good as Ben's and he doesn't portray the anxiety as well as Ben either. He also doesn't just doesn't have that nerdy, awkward look cuz Jordan isn't those things. He's more of a cool, stereotypiclly good looking guy. So although he is a very talented actor and singer he just isn't the percent Evan. Ben Platt was the perfect Evan and Ben Levi Ross was the second best Evan.
@@disconsolate3235 No i just don't really like Ben's Evan, i feel like he was a really unlikeable character while jordan manages to capture the awkwardness while still being likeable and charming, i also find his voice to be really soothing
Catherine L I agree that Jordan is more charming but that’s why I prefer ben’s Evan. Cuz Evan is supposed to be a bumbling all over the place mess whereas jordans can come off as smooth. Idk bens just feels raw and sincere, especially his vibrato and ticks and demeanour, his eyes and just how he carries himself. It’s incredible. Jordan is a great singer but he’s a little too smooth and cool to be the perfect Evan
He has a much richer tone than most of the other Evans and I absolutely love it. The low notes sound so much more powerful, but he still nails the high ones
Jack Guhl he’s a baritenor. operatically he would be a Lyrical Tenor so while his low range is nice he can also support himself heavily in the upper octaves lol
so many people dont even realise that this was on dear evan hansen's tiktok and not his own too lmao its like why do you think they asked him to go live on their own account? because free clout? lmao
i hope he starts getting more recognition ;; hes been in so many roles... in disney he was in liv and maddie and teen beach movie for some minor roles... then he played matt in until dawn (he was awesome tbh and his character was an absolute sweetheart) and then he was in grease and his rendition of those magic changes still tugs on my heartstrings- lmao i could go on. hes so talented and hes literally EVERYWHERE (i became a fan bc i kept seeing him in so many roles^) and hes just so underrated
The fact that people commented stuff on this live like “bad” or “you can’t sing” like his voice is beautiful. He is an amazing person and if just bringing him down for his insane talent isn’t gonna make it better. Stop bringing down amazing people for your entertainment.
What I love is he’s still in character when he sings he’s not just singing as Jordan he becomes Evan and get all his tics and anxiousness etc...(Ben always did that as well,it’s amazing).
maybe it's just me but he kind of reminds me of brendon urie. like his facial expressions and just his voice seem really similar to me? idk im probably crazy lol
I've been thinking about this a lot. I think it's the big eyes and the facial expressions! And the voice is somewhat similar/they have similar singing style.
And that comment exemplifies the issue I have with casting in musicals at the moment. You desperately want to cast a POC but it doesn't matter if they're the right ethnicity for the role. They're just NOT WHITE. Imagine being that talented and having your entire ability and personhood as a performer boiled down to "yeah cast him coz he's not white". Honestly putting myself in their shoes, I'd be insulted. Cast because they're the best choice, not purely on skin. That's not the person. Having said all that Jordan would be a killer Aladdin I reckon.
I love his phrasing at "we belong!" And wow! He is such a talented performer! As a singer myself, I know it is difficult to control your voice, but he makes it seem effortless.
thie song is stuck in my head. honestly, jordan’s the best evan hansen in my opinion. he just has this different charm for evan that makes you feel so bad for him and you want to give him a big hug and hold him forever and tell him its okay and make sure he’s safe 🥺🥺
So sorry I ever doubted him...Jordan is a brilliant Evan...he doesn’t just sing, he performs! I never felt one moment that was off or he was “acting”...Dude killed it!
I love Ben platt from the bottom of my heart but I’ve always had this soft spot for Jordan. Always find myself wondering what he’s up to. was shocked to learn he landed this role but he is a PERFECT Evan.
I've seen many performances, Jordan was the only one that made tears come to my eyes, the ticks, the fidgets, the staring in the distance, I felt the anxiety so much. Great job
I've replayed Ben Platt's version more times than I can count, I've heard almost every cover of it on youtube, and I know the song just by the sound of the first note, but for the first time today, I accidently read the title as "Walking Through a Window". Who am I. 😔
The fact that he's sitting down is just unfair. His range is incredible

Yeah he has a fat ass range for a baritone... amazing!
Garrett Callahan That helps a lot actually! Thanks for explaining.
Riley E No problem Riley! Happy I could help :)
i love how he did not just sing the song. He became the character while singing the song. that is talent ladies and gentlemen. It is not even him is the character.
Josephine Taylor you kinda have to in order to hit the notes so you don’t trip yourself out
Cole Smith not to mention that he’s literally Evan Hansen on Broadway- so he kinda has to be in character while singing it
trueeee he was doing all the little fidgety things he does on stage when he plays evan
+++
As a person with crippling anxiety, Jordan absolutely captured the essence of constantly having ticks... it was almost uncomfortable cuz it was so real NAILED IT
yeah he is really good. but if you want to see the best performance then watch either of the Bens as Evan. they truly NAIL IT.
The ticks are good but the anxiety doesnt reflect his voice. Watch Ben's
I kinda love the way he sings it tho. When I get insecure while singing i start to play with it or not sing "seriously" because i feel insecure idk if that makes sense
Katrina Keith Aratea you dont need to have a certain voice to have bad anxiety. i have terrible anxiety and i sound the exact opposite of the type of voice you’re thinking of
@@notkth9604 You're speaking non sense. Shut up next time.
How to be evan hansen:
-ticks and sudden gestures
-stare into the distance a lot
-hands
ForumTrash Bin that’s called bad acting.
Briana Rodriguez no...

And have a insane vocal range.
I would kill to hear him sing freeze your brain from heathers
Ya know I think he’d make a cool JD
Ella Aiyana I agree.
OMG YES-
omg i would cry
Caitlin Elizabeth YESSSSSSSS
He makes it look so easy its almost infuriating lol
i swear you can just see him switch into character. what an absolutely incredible kid.
His facial expressions makes me think he was taught by Lin Manuel Miranda. He does this part justice.
Matthew Wandell LMAO I THOUGHT THAT TOO!
That's acctually pretty real
He kind of was because he played John Laurens/Phillip in Hamilton for a bit.
Lucy Porteous no way really?? that’s so cool
Actually has worked with Lin Manuel Miranda multiple times so it's not impossible.
he is so in character and it is great
No one can ever come close to Ben Platt, but this is pretty dang good.
Agreed.
Landon Thompson yess
facts. I'd say it goes 1. Ben Platt 2. Ben Levi Ross 3. Jordan
Jordan’s amazing but I also think Andrew Barth Feldman was amazing :)
Katherina Batu i saw him live and thought he was the perfect fit appearance wise PLUS he was really talented :)
Broadway singers are the most incredible people- they don’t use any auto tune, they complete full shows all the time, they have incredible vocal range, and people like this come out of it and it is amazing.
He is a perfect Evan! Why is everyone comparing him to Ben? Just look at him and listen to him!

@@MadisonAiello I actually prefer Jordan to Ben
Catherine L was Jordan your first Evan or something

His breath control and range are both INSANE what the actual heck?!
Chloe Keene especially considering the fact he was sitting 😧
He has a much richer tone than most of the other Evans and I absolutely love it. The low notes sound so much more powerful, but he still nails the high ones
As long as this role doesn’t kill his baritone voice. Gotta preserve those folds!
This is no baritone.
Grant Halverson he is actually! It blows my mind.
Jack Guhl he’s a baritenor. operatically he would be a Lyrical Tenor so while his low range is nice he can also support himself heavily in the upper octaves lol
malachithomas1 oh thank you that makes much more sense.
He went straight into character ugh the talent
his range is incredible
i know i’m so jealous of it
his range wasnt really even showed off in this how do you know💀💀
what makes me laugh is that some live commenters don't realize that he is actually Evan on Broadway. comments like "wow you're really good!'' haha
so many people dont even realise that this was on dear evan hansen's tiktok and not his own too lmao its like why do you think they asked him to go live on their own account? because free clout? lmao
They can know and still be shOOk
Or the few negative nancy's that were like no I don't think so. No? Well Broadway does so...💁
Petition to get all the Evans (or at least Ben & Jordan) to sing this, You Will Be Found it Words Fail together 🥺🥺
i hope he starts getting more recognition ;; hes been in so many roles... in disney he was in liv and maddie and teen beach movie for some minor roles... then he played matt in until dawn (he was awesome tbh and his character was an absolute sweetheart) and then he was in grease and his rendition of those magic changes still tugs on my heartstrings- lmao i could go on. hes so talented and hes literally EVERYWHERE (i became a fan bc i kept seeing him in so many roles^) and hes just so underrated
The little "YAAAAY" at the end made my heart melt 😍😭
The fact that he starts singing, and immediately gets into character. So powerful.
The fact that people commented stuff on this live like “bad” or “you can’t sing” like his voice is beautiful. He is an amazing person and if just bringing him down for his insane talent isn’t gonna make it better. Stop bringing down amazing people for your entertainment.
I literally love the fact that he went entirely into character the first word he sang. And his range is incredible. Wish I had that😭
IM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS MAGICAL CREATURE HIS RANGE HIS CHARACTER HIS EVERYTHING
What in the actual hockey sticks??? This is absolutely gorgeous!!! His breath control, pitch, runs and tone are flawless!!!
The amazing thing is that I can see him treating this live as a stage and getting into character slightly.
I’m literally sobbing! He’s such a beautiful human being! He can sing, he’s very charismatic, he’s very attractive! Ugh! I love him!
Uncultured people: liv and maddie
Me: TEEN BEACH MOVIE
Thank you for this 😂
OMFG I AM SO GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE
“liv and mad I” lmaooo ok
Periodddd
YES
He looked effortless in singing this. And those little riffs! ❤
Hes in character and i so love it!!!!!
What I love is he’s still in character when he sings he’s not just singing as Jordan he becomes Evan and get all his tics and anxiousness etc...(Ben always did that as well,it’s amazing).
Jordan Fisher is by far my favorite Broadway performer!!! He’s absolutely amazing!
thank you!! I can’t believe I missed this while it was happening 😭
maybe it's just me but he kind of reminds me of brendon urie. like his facial expressions and just his voice seem really similar to me? idk im probably crazy lol
Mackenzie you’re not crazy but I’ve always doubted myself cuz I don’t even know why exactly he reminds me of him 😂
He looks like a mix between Brendon and this kid I knew in high school
YES
I've been thinking about this a lot. I think it's the big eyes and the facial expressions! And the voice is somewhat similar/they have similar singing style.
Facial structure is similar, for sure.
No one will ever play Evan as good as Ben Platt but Jordan is amazing, and in character the whole time too!
This is what Aladdin's voice should have sounded like 👀👀👀👀 lol
in my opinion, mena massoud was the perfect aladdin since he sounded pretty much like the original and performed really well!
Jordan isn't middle eastern, and therefore couldn't have played Aladdin.
hiimhunter aladdin doesnt have to be middle eastern to play it

it just means they’ve known him since liv and maddie lmao
dobrikswhy or it means that’s only place they know him from 🤷🏽♀️
God, this song is literally how i have felt my entire life
Let’s stop comparing this king to Ben Platt and appreciate he is incredible, talented and appreciated!!!! I love them both so much
That switch from character at the end almost gave me whiplash lol yeyyyyy!
Incredible, absolutely incredible!
The way his eyes go really wide on the final "woah" XD man I love this dude!
His little yaaayyyyyyy at the end is everything.
I love his phrasing at "we belong!" And wow! He is such a talented performer! As a singer myself, I know it is difficult to control your voice, but he makes it seem effortless.
I'm so so glad I got to see him 2 weeks before the shut down. It was absolutely incredible. Totally worth splurging on 2nd row seats
Robert Boskind i saw it the day before it closed i was blessed haha
I'm going this weekend 😍😍
He's doing this effortlessly!!!
I just love how he was sooo in character while singing, Jordan Fisher makes me cri I cant believe someone like him exists.
That yay at the end was so cute, my heart melted
Thank you for doing this, I tried screen recording but it was freezing on me while I was watching it!
ImD AChillPotato:3 no problem! Did he sing something at the beginning? I missed the first half 😩
Jacqueline Hope yeah he sang For Forever, but I think if you search it up it’ll appear.
ImD AChillPotato:3 ahh nooo I cant believe I missed that. Fingers crossed someone recorded it
Did anyone else see him in Rent Live! on Fox? He was so good as Mark, and he's sooooo great as Evan
thie song is stuck in my head. honestly, jordan’s the best evan hansen in my opinion. he just has this different charm for evan that makes you feel so bad for him and you want to give him a big hug and hold him forever and tell him its okay and make sure he’s safe 🥺🥺
Honestly I love his honest vocals coming through kinda making the song more him but still sticking to the original Evan 😍
omg we dont deserve this angel
I love how he sung the song but also got in character by adding the tics, stutters, etc
I don’t think people realise how talented this man is
HE'S SO TALENTED!!!!!
Listening to him makes me cry... He sounds so amazing and it's like I'm seeing Evan
the little 'YAAAAY' at the end is so adorable omg
I have a friend who knows him personally cause her mom is in the the show
strawberriemilk 1 wait omg have u met him before??

Jalyn Robinson woah that’s so cool!!!
WAIT WHAT WHAT DOES HER MOM PLAY also have u met andrew barth feldman lmao
emma lol i live 5 minutes from andrew and my accompanist at my college did the starwars show with him and plays with him all the time
His acting and singing being perfect at the same time absolutely amazes me ❤️
This is all I’ve wanted since I heard you were gonna be doing Dear Evan Hansen!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️❤️❤️
He is so pretty and I love how he starts so soft and light.
he is SO TALENTED!!!! i wish i could watch the musical with him as evan sooooo bad
This is one of my favorite songs so yes I love it and here for it !!!
He’s sitting down like how 😭😭😭
I love the yay at the end like it was just a casual performance even though most people could never sing that well
HE's so amazing!!!!! Thank you for recording this!!
So sorry I ever doubted him...Jordan is a brilliant Evan...he doesn’t just sing, he performs! I never felt one moment that was off or he was “acting”...Dude killed it!

JORDANNNNN THAKN YOU FOR PUTTING A SMILE ON OUR FACES IN THIS HORRIBLE TIME!
This makes my heart melt💙
I LOVE JORDEN SO MUCH. IM SEEING HIM ON BROADWAY IN JULY
Isn't he scheduled to be gone by July? Of course everything is up in the air right now, but he started Jan 28 for 16 weeks.
@@EdwardTonai I'm guessing he'll still be around in July because of the way things are going now
i really do hope it’s all back to normal by july. i’m going to be REALLY upset if they have to cancel the shows because of the coronavirus
the way he sits down and fucking kills it. and at the end the little “yayyyy!!”
I love Ben platt from the bottom of my heart but I’ve always had this soft spot for Jordan. Always find myself wondering what he’s up to. was shocked to learn he landed this role but he is a PERFECT Evan.
he's a gem !
He’s literally the most precious person on this planet God protect this perfect being 🥺
No matter what people say, he's my favorite evan hansen!
I've seen many performances, Jordan was the only one that made tears come to my eyes, the ticks, the fidgets, the staring in the distance, I felt the anxiety so much. Great job
I love how proud he is at the end! So sad I’m going to be missing the broadway production with him 😭
Reopens this weekend with him in it ❤
I love how he embodies the character when he sings this
I love actors because of how real or accurate the can portray something. In this case anxiety
Phenomenal! Live and on video. Saw the show on March 10, 2020 and the entire cast was on fire. Thank you! 😇👍🏽🌹
I've replayed Ben Platt's version more times than I can count, I've heard almost every cover of it on youtube, and I know the song just by the sound of the first note, but for the first time today, I accidently read the title as "Walking Through a Window". Who am I. 😔
Someone in the Tik Tok comments really said “I don’t like it.” People are crazy. This is amazing 😂
my ears are being blessed right now
I literally wanna cry every time I hear this he’s amazing 🤩🤩💙
I’ve been singing this song all day
Omg the ending. My heart 💞💞💞
lowkey want him to play a role in the next five years as jamie
Brought tears to my eyes and got a lump in my throat. Super job.
