Heathers the Musical is my favorite musical!!! It has sooo many AMAZING songs in it! Defying Gravity is such a wonderful song! I would have gone with 'Satisfied' or 'Wait For It' or even 'History Has It's Eyes On You' over Burn from Hamilton.
“Don’t Rain on My Parade” I’ve never seen Funny Girl. However, I watched Glee faithfully (not so much once they went to New York), and Lea Michelle killed that song!!! I still listen to it from time to time… “My Man” also
25:47 "Sit Down You're Rocking The Boat" and "Luck Be A Lady Tonight" are my two favorite Guys And Dolls numbers to belt to😎. " The Wnner Takes It All", and "On My Own" bring me to tears every time. So does the reprise of "Memory" three other favorites to belt.
I've just started watching the video, but I'm stopping to make this prediction. There number one song will be... "And I am telling you I'm not going" -- Because it's always the top of these lists.
You can’t stop the beat from hairspray mine from waitress suddenly Seymour no one is alone from into the woods six from six the musical and any song from dear Evan Hansen. We’ve pretty much sung it in choir so much fun. Mama Ima big girl too is such a bop always will be. I know these songs are not on the list but theyre a joy to sing especially to sing in the radio with a bunch of musical theater students. Those were the memories.
"The Winner Takes it All" was included in Seattle Men's Chorus' "Extr-ABBA-ganza". We had a complete lighted disco floor in front of the risers with flag twirlers in go-go booths on the corners, so the gestalt comes back to me every time I hear it sung.
As a person who is currently playing Frank Jr in Catch Me. Goodbye is not a song you can just sing. It’s difficult to place and doesn’t let up range wise the whole song.
How was Don’t Rain on My Parade not on this list? Must be because modern is not before 1980? Or what about Waving Through a Window? Nothing from Dear Evan Hanson is strange/
I love Chicago! The biggest surprise in that movie was John C. Reilly. I had no idea he could sing. Can't remember the name of the song, but the one that Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman, did in the elephant in Moulin Rouge. And the "remake" of Roxanne from the same movie. I haven't seen Mama Mia because I hate ABBA.
"I Am Telling You / I'm Not Going" has annoyed me from the first time I heard it. It's a WONDERFUL, beautiful song, and the performances do put it up there. But it makes me crazy that this is "the best man [I've] ever known," when he's been cheating the whole time, and the "pick me!" energy of "I'm not going" is so unhealthy, I can't even enjoy it. Clearly I have issues.

"I Know Where I've Been" is one of the most underrated "Hairspray" songs. Queen Latifah has a really powerful voice, it's the perfect torch song.
Fr!! When we did hairspray at my school the girl who played motormouth sung this song so incredibly everyone always cried lol
I know where I’ve been is one of my favorites
Heathers the Musical is my favorite musical!!! It has sooo many AMAZING songs in it!
Defying Gravity is such a wonderful song!
I would have gone with 'Satisfied' or 'Wait For It' or even 'History Has It's Eyes On You' over Burn from Hamilton.
Favorite male belter is Jeremy Jordan and Santa Fe is by far one of the best songs to belt!!
"On my Own" always yanks on my heartstrings, and just makes me feel for Eponine, who knows that Marius will never love her. 💔
I hate that they cut some of the lyrics from the movie
Candy Store from Heathers, love that song!
Me too that's so good
“How is Defying gravity #2?”
Later
“Oh that makes so much sense!”
Sutton Foster should be globally famous.
She’s how I fell in love with theatre
“Don’t Rain on My Parade”
I’ve never seen Funny Girl. However, I watched Glee faithfully (not so much once they went to New York), and Lea Michelle killed that song!!! I still listen to it from time to time… “My Man” also
Any song from “Six the Musical”. Seriously - just pick one.
Ikr!! Six should've been in here, especially Heart of Stone or All You wanna Do
25:47 "Sit Down You're Rocking The Boat" and "Luck Be A Lady Tonight" are my two favorite Guys And Dolls numbers to belt to😎. " The Wnner Takes It All", and "On My Own" bring me to tears every time. So does the reprise of "Memory" three other favorites to belt.
18:23 I love “Burn” & “Satisfied” from Hamilton
As much as I love ‘Burn’, I think ‘First Burn’ tops it.
I'M HERE from The Color Purple is not in the list 😩
I've just started watching the video, but I'm stopping to make this prediction. There number one song will be... "And I am telling you I'm not going" -- Because it's always the top of these lists.
Legally Blonde from legally blonde is one of my personal favourite songs to belt. It’s so sad but such a tune
Heart of stone from six!
So glad you include Dogfight in this video. It’s one of the most underrated musicals ever!
I love Agony it’s such a good song from into the woods ❤❤
The Winner takes it all, sounds different to all the others.Its brilliant ! A real tune.
Journey to The Past and In My Dreams from Anastasia 💖
You can’t stop the beat from hairspray mine from waitress suddenly Seymour no one is alone from into the woods six from six the musical and any song from dear Evan Hansen. We’ve pretty much sung it in choir so much fun. Mama Ima big girl too is such a bop always will be. I know these songs are not on the list but theyre a joy to sing especially to sing in the radio with a bunch of musical theater students. Those were the memories.
"Let it Burn" from Paradise Square.I saw Joaquina Kalukango sing it on Broadway, I can still feel it!!🥰🤩
The fact that we still haven't/won't get a cast recording because of that damned producer Drabinsky...my rage will never be quelled
"The Winner Takes it All" was included in Seattle Men's Chorus' "Extr-ABBA-ganza". We had a complete lighted disco floor in front of the risers with flag twirlers in go-go booths on the corners, so the gestalt comes back to me every time I hear it sung.
Rose's Turn
I can’t do it alone only makes sense if you can see the dance number too
No good deed is my favourite song in Wicked
I love Heathers!!! I sing it Like 24/7 😂
Me too 😅
Nice to see AIDA getting some much deserved love! A US revival is long overdue!
The Winner Takes it All is one of my fav songs of all time ❤❤
24:10 when she sang this on glee… literal chills
not that they ever would but if they remake dreamgirls as a movie without amber riley i dont want it
Lea Michele singing On my Own in the musical, which she participated in is amazing
Mamma Mia the musical has all of ABBAs song that I just love to belt it out
I love Hamilton and burn but I think it was too high up the list.
Agony is my favorite song from into the Woods 100%
As a person who is currently playing Frank Jr in Catch Me. Goodbye is not a song you can just sing. It’s difficult to place and doesn’t let up range wise the whole song.
"Wait For Me" From Hadestown is always a great one
I never see Chess on these lists! Anthem and Nobody’s Side come to mind for great belters.
Definitely a great top, thanks, Emely, and a happy saturday afternoon to you as well. Take care and God bless you, and greetings from Colombia.
actions speak louder than words, so trust actions and not words.
I love heathers and mean girls the musical and Beatle juice musical
I recommend defining “modern”
Andrew rannells 😭😭😭😭 i love him sm
Don't Rain on my Parade?
How was Don’t Rain on My Parade not on this list? Must be because modern is not before 1980? Or what about Waving Through a Window? Nothing from Dear Evan Hanson is strange/
When you got it flaunt it- Producers.
Who is the guy and what is the song in your intro when you mention “off-broadway”. His voice is incredible.
Upgrade from be more chill is so amazing
I love Chicago! The biggest surprise in that movie was John C. Reilly. I had no idea he could sing.
Can't remember the name of the song, but the one that Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman, did in the elephant in Moulin Rouge. And the "remake" of Roxanne from the same movie.
I haven't seen Mama Mia because I hate ABBA.
Anything from Six belongs on this list. Especially "No Way" or "Heart of Stone"
I can’t do it alone is my favorite to be honest 🤩
“Colored Woman” from Memphis. Top five at least.
LOVE that Aida was on the list, but Easy As Life or Dance of the Robe should've been chosen instead
Joshua Henry deserves nothing but the best!
Where is "Don't Cry for Me Argentina"? That's my shower song.
What about heart of Stone from SIX
Mmmm its a 50/50 for me i cant choose On My Own, and I Dreamed A Dream.
I'm Breaking Down, Falsettos
My man, Funny Girl is my belting song
Santa Fe from Newsies?
One Song Glory in RENT
Seasons of love RENT
The entire score of Annie is just one big belt.
Greatest star or don’t rain on my parade from funny girl
Tick Tivk Boom's Sunday is definitely missing from this list. At list as an honorable mention.
If Tick tick Boom’s “Sunday” gets a nod then you’d have to incl “Sunday” from Sunday in the Park with George since that’s what it’s a riff on.
@@AshlynnBee I have no problem including both :)
Ok but why is Wait for me from hades town not on here? Or anything goes?
Also I forgot to add don't rain on my parade.
"I Am Telling You / I'm Not Going" has annoyed me from the first time I heard it. It's a WONDERFUL, beautiful song, and the performances do put it up there. But it makes me crazy that this is "the best man [I've] ever known," when he's been cheating the whole time, and the "pick me!" energy of "I'm not going" is so unhealthy, I can't even enjoy it. Clearly I have issues.
Nothing here from SIX?
🗣 BELT
You add Aaron Tveit and/or Lea Salonga to one of your videos and you'll have a like from me ❤
"Learn to be Lonely" 🎭
The Phantom of the Opera
Shame there were no shows on Broadway before the 2000s that could have been in this list. 🙄 Ok. They found some from the 90's. 😏
16:17 the only “hypocrisy” in the “Mormon” church is people that aren’t living it in the way it’s truly meant.
Um…..”I Am What I Am”?
Boys can belt too - not that you’d really know from this list
Love that one!
No Dear Evan Hansen 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
No more nightmarish Billy Porter bits.
