I hate to be that person, but I just hope y'all realize that Stark ORIGINATED THIS ROLE. Y'all cannot listen to Brendon's version and say that Stark sang it wrong when he is the original Charlie Price, HE was the original voice for Charlie Price. Y'all really need to learn how to respect your faves without bashing others. Trust me, I think Brendon is great, but no one will ever do a better Charlie Price than the original Charlie Price. Stark Sands is the Tony award nominee, not Brendon Urie.

Cailyn Charron Yeah they're both great but the original is always better.However,Brendon has had more singing experience while Stark is a musical actor so it's pretty understandable why people like Brendon's version better (This is still great and emotional though,no doubt about that)

Didn't realize people couldn't have opinions anymore. Look I love both and yes people can be better than the original. Example "And I Will Always Love You" was originally by Dolly Parton but the cover by Whitney Houston was way better. The reason I like Brendons version better is because he has more vocal experience and I prefer his voice more. Nobody is saying this version sucks they're saying they like Brens more.

while i agree that people shouldn't disrespect Stark as Charlie, you know, there *are* people (like myself!) who like Brendon's version better. Stark's voice is just not my cup of tea and Brendon's is, simple as that.

Tessa Mastro exactly.

Yo Brendon is hands down my favorite singer ever. But this song was literally written to match Starks voice and fit his own personal range. He can’t be singing it wrong 😂😂 and he is a singer y’all. He’s not acting the song out, he’s singing it 😂😂

Why in the hell is everybody comparing Stark with Brendon? Brendon is indeed a great Charlie Price, but please don't compare Stark & Killian to other Charlie EVER!!!!!

I just want to bring Stark home and sing me to sleep every night.

People always say that Brendon's was less emotional, I didn't really understand that because Brendon is a singer and puts so much emotion into his singing. But now that I see this video I get the fact that Brendon is a singer first actor second so his performance is just as beautiful but Stark Stands is a musical actor and really puts a ton of emotion into his singing.

I’m sorry but anyone who says he sings it wrong because they prefer Brendon’s version forgets that this was written perfectly for Stark’s voice. I’m a huuuge panic fan, but nobody will EVER top this version

I love how casually he takes off the headphones and walks away at the end, as if he didn't just hit that note or sang an entire song the way he did

I HAVE to agree, and I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Brendon and Panic! BUT, Stark originated and OWNS the role of Charlie Price. NOT even Brendon could do what Stark did with the role.

Cyndi Lauper is so underrated as a songwriter.

People need to stop saying he’s just an actor so it’s impressive how he can sing this. He’s trained in both departments and this song is clearly easy for him. He’s a brilliant singer and actor.

Stark Sands is amazing. I never got to see him in the show but seeing all of these clips has made me such a fan of his.

Corzify not everyone does musical theatre though. Some just do straight plays. But yeah it’s certainly more likely than if they’d never sang at all.

The emotion he puts in is incredible and his voice is fantastic. Damn this is a difficult song to perform and he totally nailed it. You can tell he really worked hard!

saw them both but have to say Stark has the emotional depth to convey the power of the song. Both are amazing singing this. But Brendon was able to be in it because Stark gave such a fantastic performance when the show opened. His only problem with not winning the Tony for Best Actor was he was up against the other leading man Billy Porter. Talk about owning a role. Bottom line great singing by all and major kudos to Cindi Lauper. What a talent to put this all together. By far one of the best finales in a Broadway show in a long time.

This is my favorite song from the show. I absolutely love Stark, and his voice crack at 2:43 gives me goosebumps. Perfection.

HE'S COMING BACK TO KINKY BOOTS I AM SO EXCITED

Stark is one of my favourite actors and has ben since i saw him in Generation Kill, i knew he had been in broadway shows but everytime i hear this song and Stark's version it makes me cry. Going to see the show in the west end in jan really wish Stark was doing it so jealous of everyone who got to see him on broadway

God that sweet bridge is so flippin AHMAZING & that key change! Cyndi surely made a hit! And Starks voice is like out of this world!

I have loved Stark Sands since American Idiot. What an incredible talent!!!

I discovered Stark Sands through the Green Day Broadway Musical and I will never regret that.

his is absolutely my favorite song ever!

this is a fucking masterpiece...

Stark Sands....sigh. The most beautiful man on Broadway (starting with American Idiot - which I saw 6 times). The fact that he can sing like that is just not fair. And in Kinky Boots, his reign continues...

Can't believe some of you guys are saying other people who played the role of Charlie are better than Stark Sands his acting is spot on and he's a very talented singer I love him.Never saw him haven't seen the show yet but I'm seeing it on the West End in July this year can't wait I'm excited.

One of the best performances on Broadway EVER!

This is one of the BEST Musicals EVER!!!! Saw it twice!! Its that damn good!!! If they make a DVD of the show I will definitely buy it!

A masterclass in modern musical performing. Chapeau to Stark, his vocal coach, band members, backup vocalists and musical director.

Great singers !! Great performers!!! Just seen Killian Donnelly in London!! Same emotion , same great performance!! Loved everything about this wonderful musical !!

Also I love his smile at the end!

Absolutely phenomenal, utterly speechless

i love you Stark so talented

Thanks to Brendon Urie for making me hear about this musical and stumbling across Stark Stands. Stark is absolutely amazing

I was so moved seeing his performance on Broadway, I love it even more now!

Even though I have not seen Kinky Boots and am not a fan of the musical yet, this song is AMAZING!!! Starks voice is just WOW and this is one of my new favorite songs! His voice was also amazing in American Idiot.

Can we all just stop for a second and appreciate the drummer- like damn me to buddy!

I don't know why Brendon Urie's fans are so eager to throw Sands under the bus - I've seen some of his performances here on YT and while he might be a good singer his acting is nothing to write home about, and Sands is far better in the role imo.

Brendon is my favourite singer but I prefer this version

Stark’s version IS the BEST version and it’s also the original. Brendon is FANTASTIC (and he DOES sing it half an octave lower than Stark does), but this is PHENOMENAL. The originator of the role is ALWAYS the best in it, at least this is what I have seen on Broadway. Just like we can’t imagine Elphaba without thinking of Idina Menzel the same is true here. You can’t think of Charlie Price without thinking of Stark Sands. When I sing this (and in it's original key it's an INSANE song to sing), it's Stark's version that I strive to emulate. He's ELECTRIC. NO ONE can top him.❤️😍

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful

What a set of pipes! Wow!

i love thisss, y’all better stop disrespecting my boi and just start appreciating his AND brendon’s voice in this ok? ok

I'll be honest, I heard Brendon's version first, but I love this! And he's the original!! He sounds perfect! I don't understand anyone who would hate or dislike this.

Stark is fantastic. Got to meet him after the show: great guy too

My boyfriend took me to see this for my birthday and I'm absolutely obsessed with it! Best birthday present ever 💞 If only Stark played the Charlie where I was.

such an incredible song and he's got such an incredible voice

I can't be the only one that fangirled when they saw Caroline Bowman.

Love, LOVE, the bridge to the key change. Great song!

I get goosebumps every time I listen to this

Don't make me cry over and over again, mr Sands. Cindy Lauper is brilliant, and HIS VOICE *_______________*
