I will always love how he ends the the last verse so softly. He took us to another stratosphere with his belting, and then gently brought us back home at the end.

this is the best version (of non-broadway singers) that i've heard ever. there were no over-the top embellishments, no tricks for scaling, just pure clean notes with such raw emotion especially at the end. Belting / hitting high notes is always impressive, but the soft and vulnerable notes at the last part of this performance are what will make you cry. bravo!

And a love interest? You got it. Cue an older, happier Jenna in her bakery with her shy teenage/young adult daughter at the end of the musical after the young man has finally learned to love himself and hint at the love interest at the very end.

I just found this video in jan 2023 and it makes me cry. WOW he sang with so much passion. who is this kid? where is he in 2023?

I know this song is meant to be sung by a broken pregnant woman. However, a friend sent me the lyrics in an email before I saw they play and I interpret the lyrics differently. The life growing inside me was my own! For many years I refused to admit who I AM because of where and how I was raised. Suicide was a serious option for me until I heard this song. I know what the song means in terms of the musical and how powerful it is, but I thank Sarah for writing this for other reasons. Music has the power to heal and help! Never forget that!!! May god bless you all and I hope you love the life YOU were meant for, and not the one others say you should!

Alot of the people they get up on stage and just sing the song, they may sound amazing but if you cant get the crowd to feel and connect to the character you are portraying then your failing the production.

Even as a man on KZread as I am I am brought to tears hearing him sing it as well as Lucy Jones. Or Sara Bareilles. That's the sign of a professional or at least a singer when they can engage you and stop your brain from thinking about whether or not the kids are getting their homework done at home or that paper you have to write for work tomorrow. They capture your heart and soul and it comes bubbling out of your eyes. That's because it's pure joy. Your heart stop speeding for a moment. And then you belong to the song.

the entire performance was already so vulnerable, but when he sang "she is lonely, most of the time" the last time and started getting choked up, it seemed like even he was caught off guard-- like he didn't even realize that as he had gotten more and more into the progression of the song, the rest of the walls that were left between him and the audience had fallen down. you could hear a bit more of the child in him, rather than only the precocious and mature performer he is. he was truly jenna right there. amazing

@@uwuben both were good but in different ways.

Just watching his confidence build from an initial whisper to a bravado forte highlight and then his heartbreaking ending....wow! Watching the couple standing to his left as they embrace his performance more with each line and verse. Who knows if he is going to become a singer.....but he will have...the knowledge that for a brief shining moment he held many in absolute awe ,admiration and respect!

Okay who broke this kid's heart?

Can we just talk about the resonance and vibrato on the "FIRE"

Like 'Tes' - Cher says in Burlesque..."he [this chick] doesn't sing that way because he [she] had it easy... . .

His delivery of each line is what gets me. His high notes were impressive but that you can also hear a cry and sadness in it is mind blowing and at the same time heart wrenching. I literally binged on every cover of this song but my fav will be adrian's. Some of my favs are by jessie mueller and lucie jones who also made me cry with their performances, also the original singer sara for a more subdued version.

His posture, subtle body movements, angelic voice, and facial expressions make this performance PERFECTION!!! This little guy makes me cry every time I watch this video.

Spectacular vocals aside...I’m amazed at how he can feel the lyrics, and the music and convey the emotion that comes with it...this early on. Some people never learn that. They just sing, and that takes away some of the meaning of the song... I look forward to everything this young man has to offer 💚💙

I’ve skipped past this loads of times. Kid singing this.. bleeugghh was my thoughts. Then I watched it. I am actually speechless. Technically this is mentally hard to sing. Emotionally tough and lyrically hard to convey as a monologue, but this kid delivers on every front. I’m off to rip my vocal chords out. I am not worthy.

Same here, I always wondered how impressive it really could be. I was so wrong, goosebumps the entire time

The way his voice falters on "she is lonely most of the time" 😢 Oh no my BABY! 😭

i thought everyone was exaggerating when they said they cried but that’s as not the case i am definitely crying

can't believe I only just found this gem.. f*ck, can't stop crying.. he sang it with so much emotion and his voice is just amazing..

This is such a very magical moment. It's been 4 years but i still go back to this video just to feel something.

The cast members look like PROUD PARENTS watching their young boy achieve his dreams. Priceless.

2:45 is where that boy starts feelin the music, emotion and his whole damn self at another level... DAMN! Incredible... Whoever played Jenna that night was like 💀💀💀

I love the way he hugs the little girl at the end. What a beautiful performance.

Adrian's voice is brilliant. Strong, confident and knows emotions that well beyond his years. He uses his boy soprano voice, then falsetto then a deep register to complete the song. What a range, what a voice.

I told myself I wouldn't cry. And then he cried. So in other words, I cried.

His heart is gold, and the story was told long before he channeled his vocals in the direction of heaven!

He is a BEACON! anyone can guide his confidence, but the gift was already there! Maybe he can train you!

Keith Harrell I’ve literally never read a comment that not only made me laugh but also represented me completely

He sang this song like he composed it on the spot, convincingly sharing the hard truths about a woman that he new who was flawed, but longing to be loved only to find herself at the mercy of a heartless man. I cannot stop replaying this perfect mixture of raw emotion, combined with the sweet, sometimes gritty but overall soulful vocals of this rising talent who demonstrated all the appropriate gestures and expressions that marked this as a genuinely moving tribute on his side as well as mine. And yes, water somehow keeps getting in my eyes everytime I watch him perform and I soak up the reactions of the Broadway actors around him as well as hear the audiences reactions. They all keep pulling me in and I don't mind it at all. So Bravo to this wonderfully talented young man, I can't wait to see him shine again.

Thank you youtube for suggesting this to me in 2021... 10:15 pm and I'm sitting here crying like a baby.. how 461 people could dislike this I don't get. They need to take a look at themselves. This is beautiful! Talented young man with a bright future.

It felt like Adrian imagine his mom was in the waitress' shoes and sang every word that she kept a secret. Every word was a statement of the love he received, and probably never thought she poured enough.
