One of my favorite vocalists, she sounds better live than in a studio. Not a lot of current artists can claim the same.

Agree that she definitely has the talent, but the mystery is why she sounds so much better singing live than in a studio.

Yep! Jessy J is the same. Muuuuch better live.
You can even tell the orchestra members are happy 😃
god the dopamine hit from this video is unbelievable. the collective cheer from the audience when they realize what song is playing. sara, just resplendent. the couple members of the orchestra you can tell are a bit thrilled cause they love this song. ben folds getting his little white boy groove on in the percussion section. wow.
I love this version of the song, but my other favorite part is watching Ben Folds bounce while playing the drums. Both Ben and Sarah are so joyful.

One of the best Mezzo Sopranos in today's music! She delivered such beautiful resonant notes. Amen to her voice!

@@yossibarzilai3820 It’s not my opinion, just mentioning what she said in her autobiography. Perhaps it’s because a lot of people consider it more impressive to have a higher range, despite that being a pretty shallow preference
One of the most incredible talents in our world in 2021 is Sara. You have not lived until you have heard her incredible version of I Don't Know How to Love Him. She sings that song better then anyone I ever heard!!!
I cannot comprehend why Sara is so underrated, she's amazing!

Cause she doesn’t compromise who she is an artist. If she did, she’d be bigger than Brittany.
The orchestra is wonderful, Sara is so talented and beautiful, and I have a special appreciation for Ben f-ing Folds right here.. Bro is one of the most talented musicians in the world.. and has zero problems standing in the back banging on a drum, letting Sara have her moment.
The orchestra makes this song even better, plus she shines.
Love this song and this rendition, but to quote Dexter Morgan "They make it look so easy; connecting with another human being. It's like no one told them it's the hardest thing in the world." This song gives me hope that maybe someday I can be Brave too!
Her technique is lit 🔥🔥🔥
This makes me so happy, Sara B is always a delight.
I love this woman. Her confidence and encouragement for the many for who so long couldn't "let the words fall OUT." This song has empowered thousands to step into the light and their truth. Thank you, Sara.
I love that she claps for the orchestra at the end. She's amazing a just a genuine person!
ungh. i could just imagine hearing it in the room with all those acoustics..that GIGANTIC subtle voice of hers. ungh.
This is what pop should be. Well composed and overflowing with talent on all sides.
I listened to this song almost daily during my pregnancy with my daughter. It is my hope for her. This arrangement and performance gives it a fresh take. I absolutely love it.
This the performance I never thought I would get and now can no longer live without.
WE NEED A LIVE CD OF THIS!
Like when im watching brave I'm gonna save it for the arrow part cause it's my fave and some day ill catch that wave and come out of that cave looking up at the suns rays then ill make it play
I have an 8 Yr old daughter fast approaching adolescence. I play this for her every chance I get. Just like Taylor Swift, Sara can keep her vocals so on point you'd think she's recording live.
This concert was one of my top musical experiences ever. What a treat to see this video posted to remind me. Hearing it in with the acoustics of the hall was soul lifting. Please post more!

You can be amazing You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug You can be the outcast Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love Or you can start speaking up Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do When they settle 'neath your skin Kept on the inside and no sunlight Sometimes a shadow wins But I wonder what would happen if you Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave Everybody's been there, everybody's been stared down By the enemy Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing Bow down to the mighty But don't run, stop holding your tongue Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live Maybe one of these days you can let the light in Show me how big your brave is Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave Innocence, your history of silence Won't do you any good Did you think it would? Let your words be anything but empty Why don't you tell them the truth? Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you See you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you
Love this version, it mixes both the joyful feeling of the original and we can hear Sara's amazing vocals and contagious energy of the orchestra.
One of the best vocal on earth!
I’ve listened to this song like a thousand times a day and still love it
Can we appreciate Ben Folds on percussion
She's so good even Ben Folds plays her drummer.
Great lyrics, great arrangement, great singing and all around great performance! Love Sara and was fun to see this song of hers performed with an orchestra. 🎶 May all who listen to this song in any form be emboldened to speak up tfor the best and highest good of all!! 🌈
When drummer enjoying his life
... sometimes a person thinks that they alone have come up with a pretty thing to look at; a clay sculpture, a painting, perhaps an embroidered shawl, an epic saga of kings and their offspring, that stretches over many centuries, or maybe a poem, or a song; in which case, they'll seem to reach within themselves, down the labyrinthine recesses of their hearts, and when their lips part, they lift up their voices to the firmament, shaking the rafters, and the echoes fly out, each one a zephyr, that whispers of changing times, and just as the song had issued forth from the artist's mouth, it spread to nearly unfathomable proportions, flew over the waters and the earth alike, awakening minds which had seemed irreparable, it rushed ever onwards, setting frozen hearts ablaze, and blinded eyes alight with the efffulgence of the earth's beauty that surrounds us all, and they who'd accepted, with some resignation, that they were unloved and forgotten, that life is futile, all is vanity, yet all on a sudden, a bizarre sort of silent thunder pealed within them all, a storm broke upon the parched earth of their long shrivelled and bitter hearts, they trembled and wept for joy, because now they could touch the eternal, and they would fear nothing; that's what it's like, when God has decided that you're the best medium for His present purposes, and through the soul stirring voice of miss bareilles, He's doing precisely that! heartfelt commendations, Miss Bareilles, I humbly salute thee, please keep right on changing the world for the better, you're an absolute inspiration ! 😍😍😍
Still a favorite! I would love to meet Sara!

Wow we love you Sara
watching this with a smile on my face.. she's really incredible 😍
Defy anyone to sit still while listening and watching this. Love it!

Glady Reyes When an artist is great, its always better to watch a live performance because they can recreate their songs and we can feel much more emotion. And of course, its always nice to hear good singers singing live.
This just puts a smile on my face and warms my soul
I'm just so happy and proud that I went to her concert (surprisingly small) when she came to Seoul once upon a time !
Talent and hardwork at their Peak - Sara Barellies
Sara's lyrics are not just random words they carry a mantle and have significance to a live life. what an amazing artist. I am such in awe of her and how she moves me with her songs and I'm not even a fan of this genre.
I have been smiling. The whole damn time. God, i love Sara
Silence has a dignity all of its own; telling the truth looks like begging to in- crowds, cliques, gangs, etc. Sadly, that's the answer to your question, but I do, and will always love both this song and you for writing it.
Incredibly beautiful and inspiring! Talented artist, one of my favorites! ❤
Sarah is awesome.
Love this! Love Sara! Ben Folds playing timpani in the back with complete gusto is icing on the cake!
Such a Beautiful woman with a Beautiful voice with a Beautiful heart ..❤
I love this song, and this version with the symphony is just amazing.
I just want to be there! Amazing arrangements. Love love love.
1.) I haven't seen this film yet. 2.) I didn't know that it was Taron playing Elton. 3.) I didn't discover that Taron could actually sing like this until just now while seeing the movie "Sing" on TV, which took me down the rabbit hole of if it was actually him singing in that movie. 4.) The rabbit hole first led me to a video of him singing the song live, WITH Elton on the piano. And here we are. Oh my GOD I love him even more now. Until today, I only knew him for Kingsman. Dayum.
I have crippling social anxiety this song inspires me
Sara just want to say THANKYOU!
The horns in that arrangement? Magnificent!
Saw her in concert twice, once at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa, OK. I swear she looked right at me and into my eyes. I think I fell in love that night.
This orchestra is amazing. I think I just find this beautiful, because without all of these musicians coming together, working together and harmoniously playing together, the orchestra would be a mess.
How could I ever love a woman other than Sarah B after watching this?
How I love the energy of this song. Many thanks for it! :)
How have I never seen this? I love Sara Bareilles. Saw her on Broadway, on the Little Black Dress tour and in everything she's done that's available. She's the best singer/songwriter of this time and it's not even close.
Wow! So good so much skill in one room!!
i am in love with her voice
Such a fabulous voice, such a great talent. Equalled only by Regina Spektor. I bow too you, Sara Bareilles.
This song is so much fun with an orchestra
Oh my god!!! What a fantastic arrangement and with Sara's melodic voice, nothing can top this!
What a finish by the orchestra, what a voice by Sara!!
Love the song to begin with, but the arrangement here is simply amazing. And loving what Ben's doing on the percussion too. What a great performance. I've always enjoyed listening to Sara alone on the piano, but now I'd love to hear more of Sara with an orchestra.
So goooooood!
How does she hit those high notes better live than on the studio version?! 😯
Just love Sara and the words to "Brave" touch everyone's heart...yesterday, today or fear of tomorrows.
Beautiful! Thank you! Amazing talent!
Don’t run and stop holding your tongue , now is the time, be brave!
When I was little I always knew the moon followed me too.
The orchestral version is so mighty and lovely 💓💓💓
I don't know why this makes me smile
Another excellent arrangement by Alex Lacamoire!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Sara was, of course, awesome as usual! 😍
That orchestra hit kills. 😭
Is it possible to love her even more?
She can Sing.... Period.
She has earned the badge of DIVA.....
Videos like this amaze me, and my limited knowledge about how they are created. I wonder if there is a single recording taken and then just combined with a video. Or, is it multiple sound recordings brought together to create the final video? Sara, and everyone in this video, did an awesome job on this!
Sarah has got some pipes
I just discovered this video, and I can't stop watching it. It's so incredible! Love it!
This is incredible performance ❤️❤️ i wish i have a chance to go to her concert. Hope, she will do tour in South East Asia.
Mmm popular pieces set to symphonic arrangements like this are just SO amazing for the ears. Glad this popped up in my recommendations feed. Well done, KZread. Well done
Beautiful song with an amazing person to sing it! p.s love the timpani guy rocking out to the beat :)
Gonna watch this all my life
Fantastic!!!!👏👏👏
amazing singer
Love Sara. She’s Boss!!!
PERFECT! 🥺❤
What a genius song in a world that really needs ...Bravery! Love it!
Be brave. Be you :)
Just love her she has such a fabulous talent and her songs have such a beautiful positive message and smashes it here by a mile ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
