Leslie Odom Jr. just performed this song in Denver as the encore, and it was incredible. He abruptly stopped the song after the first few words to acknowledge the sign language interpreters who had been working tirelessly the whole show off to the side. He brought one onto the stage, started the song over, and she passionately signed right next to Leslie's perfect voice. It was unforgettable.Thank you for the amazing show, Leslie. Look forward to seeing you in 2020!

Wow. Leslie is a new lvl of greatness and consideration

This is hands down my favorite version of this song. The emotion. His perfect pitch. The soft instrumental. Everything is so perfect.

I love Anthony's (Anthony Rapp) version and the movie version. I don't like the OBC version bc I don't like the original Mimi. But Leslie's and Anthony's versions are my favourite

He owns this song.

Me nowadays: Who do you listen to? *Before they respond* Me again: I listen to Leslie Odom Jr. He is just amazing. Here is his list of songs

Lyrically this might be one of the most realistic love songs I've heard because he's basically saying he knows the girl isn't the whole world but she is too him, which is how we feel sometimes about our special someone

Can you imagine him singing I'll Cover You Reprise????

He is literally such an underrated singer. He needs more recondition for his absolutely beautiful voice.

I’m an idiot. I had no idea who the singer was but remarked that I could listen to that voice on the nationwide commercial all day. This is one of the most magical voices I have ever heard.

Thank you, Jonathan Larson.

Just watched RENT on TV tonight for the umpteenth time, and it got me again. I'm bawling my eyes out. And it always seems to start right when this song comes on. I'd never heard Lesie Odom's version until tonight. Unbelievable. Just downloaded it from iTunes. It'll be in high rotation on my iPhone until the day I die. Quite possibly the saddest and most beautiful song ever written. RIP Jonathan Larson. As much as I love RENT -- both the Broadway (and off Broadway) play(s) and the movie, I can't help but imagine how much better it would have been with a voice like Leslie Odom Jr.'s in the cast. Just wow.

My replay button is getting more action right now than James Bond in every 007 movie ever

I am a big fan of Leslie and RENT is one of my absolute favourite shows and this is one of my favourite ever songs. This is amazing. ❤

Another one of those days I think "I wish I was a tenor" ... great job

Angelic voice is here

Without you, the ground thaws the rain falls the grass grows Without you, the seeds root the flowers bloom the children play The stars gleam the poets dream the eagles fly without you The Earth turns the sun burns but I die, without you Without you, the breeze warms the girl smiles the cloud moves Without you, the tides change the boys run the oceans crash The crowds roar the days soar the babies cry without you The moon glows the river flows but I die without you The world revives colors renew but I know blue only blue lonely blue Without you Without you, the hand gropes the ear hears the pulse beats Without you, the eyes gaze the legs walk the lungs breathe The mind churns The mind churn The heart yearns The heart yearns. the tears dry without you Life goes on but I'm gone 'cause I die, without you without you without you without you...

Leslie you, your voice is, mesmerizing!!!

I couldn’t stop smiling, he’s voice is so beautiful

Rent has been my favorite musical forever but listening to this cover just.... Idk how to explain it.... I can feel every lyric... It makes me more emotional than I'd like to admit... Leslie, you are incredible...

I’m shooketh

I've been going through a Rent kick lately, and this. This is so absolutely stunning. Chills, tears, and just awe.

Oh, from the very first note to the last, wow! You make my world soar, Leslie. Can't wait for your next album, hopefully this fall!

pride is not the word i’m looking for.

Leslie Odom Jr could teach a masterclass on allowing a song to really tell a story. He lets the lyrics really open up and unfold

How is it almost a year since it was posted and it doesn’t even have 100K views? Huge Rent fan and this is easily the most beautiful version of this song I’ve ever heard.

Everything you do is my favorite version, ever!!! My GOD you are fabulous.

I need more of his voice in my life

Saw him Saturday in the Third Row In Pittsburgh at Heinz Hall with The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra conducted by his Voice Teacher from Carnegie Mellon University. I was in complete tears before the second line. My Husband and I felt so fortunate to be in that room. That tone just melts you. He is flawless.

Magnificent! I was worried the song would lose something as a solo, but instead it feels elevated, more real. My new favorite song!

Pure perfection

Jesus christ this guy can sing! :0 When I came here I honestly didn't expect this kind of flow of feelings :'3

Beautiful song!

I just watched Leslie in Burlington at the Jazz Festival. The moment he started to sing this song, which I hadn’t heard, I began to cry! What a gift he has! Voice from the heavens.

What a bloody legend.

Speechless 🥺💯

What a beautiful voice!

I've lost 3 of my 4 children. This is now my song. Thank you.

I could listen to him all day. You know what, I will.

Love it Leslie! You’re amazing in Hamilton and everything else you do. Keep up the good work!!!

This man is about to take the music industry by storm. I cant wait to hear his musical evolution and how his sound and style shifts.

Dude...I can't even think of what to say holy crap my jaw DROPPED

You display such emotion in your songs. Love your work!
