He wasn't really prepared for this song at all but was told to sing this 7 minutes version. The lyrics was also very complicated and no repeated chorus. Despite all that he was amazing even if he didn't have time to prepare and wasn't very familair with the song. He had a few drinks and he just ham it up along with the lyrics.

The crazy thing about this performance sounding remotely good is that apparently he barely had time to rehearse it beforehand and as far as I remember, has admitted to kinda winging it on the spot which is probably why he struggles in a couple places with both notes and lyrics. He was also slightly tipsy and still managed to sound that good. I highly recommend checking out other performances of his cause it’s true, the man has an insane set of pipes.

To be honest this is a "Celine Dion" song that's he's doing a damn good job of covering. Its a house band/background singers in a club setting, so the mics and mix aren't the best. And Jeremy is always kind of funny and playful in these "club" video's. His cover of "She Used To Be Mine" is really good and he does a good "Let It Go" from Frozen...but he's no Mitch Grassi! You don't get the Tony Award Winning studded Resume that Jeremy has if your not really good. If you've never Celine's video for this song, you should watch it, it's amazing.

I mean it's 90s Celine Dion, you can't expect much but cheesy romance vibes I love this video though 😂 Essentially this venue does like themed nights for Broadway performers to come up and sing songs that meet the theme. This was an all Celine Dion song night.

Maggie, I believe he did this at the request of his friend Ben. If I remember the story correctly, it was Ben's birthday or something and he requested this performance which (Jeremy didn't really want to do) hence the silliness! I don't believe this was ever meant to be a serious performance.

I love his "How I saved the greatest showman" video. He recorded all the demo's for the soundtrack and because Hugh had cancer's removed from his nose, he wasn't allowed to sing at the pitch session for 20th century

This one’s ok but his version of “she used to be mine” is so much better. 👍

I thought this seemed different. His clip of ‘She Used to Be Mine,’ is the song most reviewers and voice coaches react to. Plus his duets with his wife are always good.

Thi k I remember hearing that he didn’t want to do this song but his friend on the piano (Ben?) wanted him to do this song. He finds it awkward and decided to make it as ridiculous as possible of a performance to get through it. To make it funny

Yes! This performance was done as a joke to be funny. I personally find it hilarious! Lol!

This was from a show at 54 Below called Broadway Loves Celine Dion. Different Broadway performers singing her songs. Jeremy had come directly from an all day rehearsal of a Sondheim project. He had no time to rehearse. He is incredibly talented, I have seen him live several times and he is an amazing performer. There are some studio recorded music from him but most of what you see will be live performances, so sound quality standards may vary. The trade off is you get incredibly vocals without studio enhancement. You appear to not care for Broadway or that singing style, at least that is the impression I got. Thank you for the Reaction! 🤗

If you want to see a nice, high quality video of Jeremy without all the theatrics and clownery, then his cover of Sondheim's Losing My Mind is worth a listen.

I will always maintain that Meatloaf has the best version of this song, because it was meant to be a duet.

Same here. He finally got hold of it in 1986 for Bat Out of Hell II, but they went w/ another track and held this for Bat III. Finally released it 20 years later as a duet on Bat III after Celine and another band had their turn.

you should watch his performance "The day i saved the greatest showman" that performance was awesome

I agree with the general consensus that this was not his best performance but you should definitely check out his version of “she used to be mine”. It’s in a much more professional setting and it’s 🤌🏻

I feel that Maggie has a lock on reacting to singers who don't have opera trained. In terms of singing, there are singers who do not have trained opera and have a preserved voice with their 70s, 80s and there are singers and opera singers who have suffered from fatigue, such as Maria Callas, for example. Maybe Maggie knows (or doesn't) that for men to sing in this high-pitched region without using a more imposed voice, as in the opera, it's MUCH MORE COMPLICATED, but it's not because the veins appear that the folds aren't relaxed or that it's not a healthy sing. Jeremy has been singing Broadway for many years and he may look young, but he is already 37 years old.

I thought her critique was brutal! She asked what the purpose or reason for this performance…well I have the answer: for entertainment!!! You have to just take it as it is and appreciate it.

I love his voice and his little comedic bits... but those background singers drive me nuts.

Love how he lives the song even when he is messing around. This was done without much practice, he didn’t know the words! This same song is also taped from the other side. Check out his Disney princess songs! Currently I believe he is Seymour in little shop of horrors

Thank you for your comment. Did you like the new Encanto video reaction I just posted? Will you be there for my 195K Subscriber Celebration Live Stream tomorrow?

His stuff from Michael Mott's "In the Light" is also amazing. Both the preview stuff recorded at 54 Below a few years back and the official recording that was done during the pandemic. The show hasn't been staged anywhere (yet), but it should just be a matter of time.

The internet has been clambering for years that he should record this again with studio quality and better background singers. His talent is too much and it’s wasted here

Highly suggest his recording of Used to be Mine from the Waitress. I personally think that's one of his best performances so subtle and beautiful. He is so extremely talented.

umm don't take this the wrong way, but how do you not know this song? It's like Celine's biggest song outside of the stupid Titanic song. Also, it's a New York tradition for Broadway actors to do shows like this...? Lots of shows with the same quality from, like, most Broadway stars: same quality and same style of club fun and collaboration. There's Miscast, Broadway Princess Party, etc. All just like this. It says in the video "Broadway Loves Celine Dion" - I feel like that kind of explains the whole thing? No? Just me? lol.

A potentially fine performance held back by circumstances. Although after 2 or 3 drinks in that bar, I would probably have applauded and cheered. Good, detailed reaction/analysis. And really nice edit. 🎤

Jeremy wasn't the only performer this night. In fact there were 12 others. This is from the concert Broadway Loves Céline Dion, performed at 54 Below (cabaret/restaurant located in the basement of Studio 54 in Manhattan) on January 9, 2015 to celebrate Dion's 25 year career.

This was like 7 years ago. Dude isn't tired yet. He's on Broadway RIGHT NOW.

The guy that wrote this song is Jim Steinman, wrote all of Meatloaf’s hits. Sadly he passed away in April 2021

Maggie, I have to say: sometimes the look on your face CRACKED ME UP while you were watching. 😂

Mans has been singing professionally and killing it for over a decade, but yeah. Who knows how long he can keep singing like this 🙄

Great job Maggie! I adore Jeremy Jordan. He has some great songs. One I'd love to sponsor for a reaction but we'll see!

Jeremy and Ben Rauhala are buds and Ben tries to mess with him. He was already there to duet with his wife on Beauty and the Beast and this was sprung on him shortly before the show so Jeremy hammed it up knowing it was all in fun. There's a video titled Ben's Birthday Medley that's a great example of their by-play.

Would love to see you react to more of him!!

One of the best songs ever written by the late great Jim Steinman. Originally made a hit by Celine Dion.

Shocked to see this one posted to the channel. It was clearly not a favorite of yours 🤣 Love the honesty. And as I said in my notes, it’s not at all my favorite by him. It’s his most viewed though. Figured I’d give it a whirl. I’ll have to sponsor something else by him that showcases his vocals better.

Her embrace is the most beautiful JJ song. It’s from a new musical yet to be put on stage: Into the light.

If you watch the longer video, you will see him introducing the song. It is by Celine Dion. On purpose he is singing it kind of campy and with humour. Try and watch the one with the intro and then watch the Celine Dion version. This is not supposed to be serious.

Oh Maggie, you were hilarious in this reaction, but so funny!! I'm quite sure Jeremy has a great voice, it's just that something was... weird? But I enjoyed both, you and him, and the editing was very good too!! 🎤🎤

I wish that any of my favorite vocal coach reactors would react to his version of "I've Told You Now". It's truly his best, imo

Perfect Mix : Good looking Man + great natural voice .

Ok but how bout a full I'm Still Hurting cover, cuz that was fire 🔥

You should watch him as Cpt. Jack in Sante Fe, the song everyone knows him for.

I gotta say, it sounds like what you get when someone with a phone records a person at a bar doing karaoke - I mean this is recorded by a mic at a distance, not the mic he is singing into

You should totally do a “Celine Dion Discography Journey”

This is my karaoke go to, because of this video. I'm not as good as JJ, but I try.

This song was written by Jim Steinman who worked with Meat Loaf a lot. So the lyrics are definitely interesting. It's an awesome song with Celine Dion.

Jeremy was the guest star in the second season of Smash, he was in The Flash/Supergirl musical episode. Singing that is. He's pretty great in those.

This was written by Jim Steinman, the same guy as all the songs Meatloaf was famous for

It's not that is disagree per se it's more so that I sort of just think it is what it is.. it looks like a very rando set with very rando band so I am making the assumption that despite knowing this is a version has had done many times before, and everything being amazing from the audio, to the video, to the stage presence.. this honestly just seems super impromptu and I don't know if the backup or band have much experience doing this version, let alone with him. I still enjoyed it very much because it was so playful.

Brian justin crum, does a stunning cover of this song. X

Idk if you've reacted to it but would be interested in reacting to Morissette's live version of her EP Signature?

Let me guess... you won't do a full cover of this song, am I right?? 😅😅

His friend, that organized this show, asked him to sing this song knowing he dislikes it immensely because lyrics say a whole lot of nothing. He toyed with it to make it bearable to sing.

I think I agree with Maggie on this one. It's hard to give a good performance of a song that isn't yours if you have to look down at the lyrics. Even though this was a small venue, the filming, production and sound quality could have been better.

You should react to his cover of used to be mine or run away with me, they are way better

I love this song.. my favorite, dislike that u don’t 😒... anyway, I like his performance

maybe a better scene is "the Greatest Showman | "From Now On" with Hugh Jackman | 20th Century FOX" he begind the song and hugh jackman ends it

Good cover of a meatloaf song 👌👌

His upper range is nice. But the Mic not holding his lower notes makes me sad

Can you react to John Farnham?

React Gabriel Henrique O Holy Night React Gabriel Henique Stand Up React Easy on Me - Gabriel Henrique (Cover Adele)

Love your reaction would you to react to the group the dead south song in hell he will be in good company beat you can’t help but join in with dance

He’s very theatrical. Reminds me of Meatloaf. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Maggie you have excellent instincts I just watched a review where a reactor said he fell in love with this performance only to be heartbroken when he found an interview where Jeremy said this song is ridiculous, the lyrics don’t make sense, and he hated singing it. Personally I think Jeremy has a tremendous voice but when left to his own devices tends to be too theatrical so that I walk away saying he can sing but I don’t feel anything. That being said I think his natural tendencies actually work in Newsies.

Jeremy is a great singer however this song is not for him. It may be his popular song but this is not for him. He's neck says it all.

He mocks this song in a few interviews for how corny the song is

Will not be subbing!!!!!
