@@trick351 I was being sarcastic lmao. He was amazing and I'm saying he's making it look so effortless. It's unfair how effortless he makes it look 😂😂😂
I love how it sounds like a love song about a girl who is gone but he still loves her. Even though it's a song about personal change he sings it with so much love
@@dieselpop363 Yes, but he only made it through the first week, then got about halfway through Act 1 of his 5th show and had to have his understudy go on. Has not been back since, to my knowledge.
Every word he sings sounds like it's pronounced EXACTLY the way english was supposed to be spoken, good God his tongue shapes words like he's sculpting with the power of Michelangelo's hands. The notes he sings? Pure flowing gold and honey. Breathtaking!!
This kid can do wathever he wants. He can change to another genre, or go straight to broadway, or become an actor... He has enough talent, enough of an attractiveness within the standards of society and enough charisma to succeed in the entertainment bussiness doing whatever he wishes to do.
Levi Dodson Um. In his long and successful career as a boy soprano (subsequently a boy alto) he has indeed had a great deal of training. And his dynamic control is better than anyone’s. He was a late grower and his voice is still settling in the adult range. He’ll get better, but he’s already very very good.
Joshua Colley is probably one of the most talented humans on the planet. His talent is out of this world. Remember this post, "Joshua Colley is going to be one of the biggest stars of the 21st century." - 2/5/2020 I have spoken.
The video of him preforming at 54 below when he was 12 starts with him lowering the mic, and this video at the same location starts with him raising the mic 😭😭😭
I have been following his growth as a performer and am so delighted every time I see/hear a new video. The guy is so in touch with his emotional connection and delivery and will continue to become a top-drawer pro with an unlimited career.
1. This performance is AMAZING! 2. I LOVE this song! 3. I don't know why but it makes me kinda happy to see his shirt looks like the one Blaine wore in 3×15 of 'Glee'. That's the first thing I thought when I clicked the video. What does that say about me? ;-) 4. Okay... I was writing this comment while watching the video and now I have to say: The performance makes me even happier than the shirt. It's so good!!!
Been coming back to this version for 2 years now. And it just makes me weep. The song (both in the musical, that scene and as a stand alone cover) is just so heartbreaking. Anyone who is going through some kind of identity crisis and trying to look for who they are is just so relatable. To everyone listening to this for the same reason as mine, you’re not alone and I’m sending warm hugs (consensually).
The softness and power of Josh' voice are felt in this beautiful song. He truly told the story in a believable way that I could actually feel the loss to make me cry. Thank you josh
I was originally looking for Jeremy Jordan's version of this song and accidentally clicked on this version. I decided to listen to this one..AND HOLY FRICKIN' CRAP!!! I'm glad I did. This was FRICKIN" AWESOME!!!
Interestingly enough this is C major, which is considered to be the basic scale with no flats or sharps. It's like the building block of all Western music.
I'm OBSESSED with this cover, I've been listening to list on repeat for the past couple of days and I haven't got tired of it yet and doubt I will, Joshua is truly talented and I'm mad I just found him out

i love when someone can transmit so many emotions with their voice or just their expressions. And even more when they´re young. I´m in love with him and with art.
HE HAS THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL! Seriously Josh is amazing. He's like my hero cause of his voice, his looks, and his personality. I can't help but just geek out at stuff like this.
I can never hear enough versions of this song. They're all absolutely amazing, but I think this might be the best male cover I've heard next to Jeremy Jordans. This dude is amazing!!

Crazy! He’s grown up so much from that video! Didn’t realize that was that old.
If I saw a guy singing as good as him, I would instantly fall in love, like, literally. Joshua's just sooo talented
Fact
i watched 29 seconds of this and texted my best friend "anyway i have a new crush now" and sent her a screenshot of the video
Yes💖
“If I saw a guy singing as good as him...”
What is he? A pincushion or something?? 😂😂
Yeah but he has to be handsome too, right? 🤣
He has the audacity to sing this well with his hands in his pockets the whole time?!

Yeeeah

Julie D'Amanda i kinda agree, you can sense it sometimes in the video, but he still has a pretty good voice and it’s an amazing performer
Well it's still developing, probably will for a while.
Puberty never ruins anyone's voice.

Honestly this is such a good performance but I think the best one is shoshana bean's
AHHHH YES
Yikes, were we watching, listening to the SAME performance?
@@stephendavanis7358 Guess we were, we just happen to have different points of view :) good thing, otherwise the world would be very boring
I LOVED this performance but you should also check out Jeremy Jordan performing this at miscast. I fucking cried. The performance was phenomenal.
Every single version of this song makes me tear up. This one made me actually cry.
You’ll cry of pain if I start singing it 😂
All that is random you didn’t cry with shoshanas version?!?!
Natalia Gonzalez right, Shoshana Bean, Alison Luff Jessie M. All of them did great, Joshua as well but he wasn’t better than them
Natalia Gonzalez they had more emotion
Listen to The little boy that sang this, Adrian Matthew or Matthews
get him back on bway
daniella he’s on that weird stage where bway does not work with teenagers. Once he’s older he’ll be the next broadway hearthrob 👌
There’s not really any roles for him right now. I mean maybe he could be Connor or Jared in DEH.

His dynamic control is just incredible
Can't wait to say- "I was there when he did Angelica for miscast!!" and it'll be such a nice outlook during his massive career.
He’s so incredibly talented.... His vocal control is insane
Wdym? He has no technique/proper training.

I am here to remember what you said
Some people said that 5+ years ago :)
I also am here to remember what you said.
Omg a day before my birthday a national holiday
I agree buddy
I’m shooketh. The last video I’ve seen of him is him as Angelica
Meaghan - same I didn't realise that amazing little sassy boy had grown up so quickly 😂
His emotion and his tone is just incredible I’m in awe - nothing is forced, it’s just so NATURAL 🤍🤍
And he's been that good since he was 10 or so!
the moment when he took off his hands from his pockets it’s when the song really hits. it’s amazing how much hands transmit
The video of him preforming at 54 below when he was 12 starts with him lowering the mic, and this video at the same location starts with him raising the mic 😭😭😭
That boy can SING! This song has such a different meaning when sung by a male, it’s like a long lost love type of song filled with regret and desire.
His deeper voice just makes it so much better!
That beautiful harsh sound he makes at 3:43 got me chills
Damn, you right, that tone is wonderful
Not gonna lie, he has probably one of the most beautiful voices and faces I've ever seen.
he’s not just a singer. he’s a great storyteller
If there’s Timothee Chalamet in cinema ..., Broadway has Joshua Colley
Don't insult Joshua like that
imagine sounding like this... i am in awe
his voice is the kind of voice that would pat you on the back and say everything’s gonna be okay while you’re crying
His charisma tho’ 🔥 i love how he sings from such a relaxed place too.
Amazing!! If there's ever a run of 'Everybody's talking about Jamie' on Broadway....Joshua would make an incredible Jamie!!
Completely agree, it’d be great
That sounds awesome! Can he dance?
is he gay?
I just sang this song literally less than an hour ago. “Liked” RIGHT away.
WATCHING IN 2024, IM SO HAPPY HE’S CAPTAIN HOOK IN D4 (ALSO THIS WAS INCREDIBLY HARD NOT TO CRY)

I haven’t had chills throughout my body in a long time and he did that... THATS TALENT.
Can’t get enough of his voice. Such an incredible performance. He surely has a big bright future on Bway ahead of him.
I’ve never cried while watching someone sing, well until now. God, his voice is mesmerizing
He's so talented it's crazy
The “she IIS lonely” at the end caught me off guard and punched me in the gut
DUH FOR THIS COMMENT

he’s like a mix between Derek Klena and Ryan McCartan... aka total future broadway heartthrob

И что
*Lyrics*
It's not simple to say
That most days I don't recognize me
That these shoes and this apron
That place and its patrons
Have taken more than I gave them
It's not easy to know
I'm not anything like I used be, although it's true
I was never attention's sweet center
I still remember that girl
She's imperfect, but she tries
She is good, but she lies
She is hard on herself
She is broken and won't ask for help
She is messy, but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone, but she used to be mine
It's not what I asked for
Sometimes life just slips in through a back door
And carves out a person and makes you believe it's all true
And now I've got you
And you're not what I asked for
If I'm honest, I know I would give it all back
For a chance to start over and rewrite an ending or two
For the girl that I knew
Who'll be reckless, just enough
Who'll get hurt, but who learns how to toughen up
When she's bruised and gets used by a man who can't love
And then she'll get stuck
And be scared of the life that's inside her
Growing stronger each day 'til it finally reminds her
To fight just a little, to bring back the fire in her eyes
That's been gone, but used to be mine
Used to be mine
She is messy, but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone, but she used to be mine...
Anne degreengables thanks
Thx
