+TalulahCarmichael2 He does that a lot, speaking a line instead of singing it. It makes things both more emotional and funnier. To me, that's part of acting a song as well as singing it.
+Gloria Shafton Have you seen the video of him performing Run Away With Me? Not the version that was on his live album, but the one he did sometime before that? He does exactly what you said, he acts the song out, and it's amazing.
+TalulahCarmichael2 Where he's wearing the brown and white plaid shirt and is about 25 years old? Only about a hundred times. And yes, he's both singing and acting there. So talented. And he brings so much more to each song that way. Each of his little one-song videos is a whole show for us. He's the ultimate performer.
+Gloria Shafton He really is! :) I would happily watch him singing anything, even a Taylor Swift song. (I can't stand her, or her music, so it's usually not enjoyable for me to listen to those...)
+TalulahCarmichael2 The reason he makes that Taylor Swift song great is because it's his sense of humor. Here's a grown man singing a little girl's song, and it's a crack up. I love his silly side. Hope he shows more and more of it.
+Mathew Hutchins The last time Miss Saigon had an audition, they were ask to pick one song from Miss Saigon to sing. I guess it depends on the producer.
Ahhh… One of my favorite musicals and songs from it; sung by my favorite male Broadway performers. Would love to see Aaron’s performance of Chris in person. 😍
I finally got around to listening to Miss Saigon's soundtrack and after hearing this I immediately thought Aaron would be such a great fit for a Chris and frick I stand by that after hearing this. Broadway would be missing an excellent opportunity to use Aaron in the upcoming production.
omg Eva is from my city and I saw her in her high school production of West Side Story on a field trip when I was in middle school. she's amazing. I've kept up with her ever since and when I found out she was heading to broadway, I freaked out. being Kim and Eponine in West end was great but Kim on Broadway omg I'm so excited
***** ive seen her in both Miss saigon and Les Mis and she is fricking unbelievable like it made me think how can a loud big voice like that come out from her. she is AMAZING
+pangzed8448 omg you are so lucky. I barely remember her performance since it was years ago and I didn't have the appreciation for musical theatre that I do today. I only remember that she was amazing. AND she was only 14 or 15 at the time. wow she's really gone far. I saw her in our news about going to West end and screamed
OH. The strength, the passion, and his phrasing absolutely slays. I've only seen one show on Broadway - and this was it... Thank G-D he didn't sing "Bui Doi" or I'd be crying twice as hard...
This play caught my interest for more than one reason. The talent was #1. It brought to light the sadness of what happens to more than one child and mother. Recklessness brings havoc. It's not o.k.
+Ale Valdemar I believe the West End is coming over and not happening. Huge, long time fan, and interested to learn any facts out there about the flashy film planned.
i really want them to do a miss saigon movie with live singing like they did les mis, and i want aaron tveit or jeremy jordan as chris. eva noblezada would be cool for kim, and it'd be really cool if lea was gigi :)
After watching the absolutely gorgeous proshot with Alastair Brammer as Chris, I'm convinced previous barricade boys make the best Chrises (which I guess works well with the Eponine-Kim connections! I joked that Eva Noblezada died in the arms of more Amis than most Eponines but there's still a thing there).
Aw he misses performing on stage in from of people that even his serious mood for the song is affected 💕💕 His singing & acting are both still so amazing tho
Why does Saigon never sleep at night Why does this girl smell of orange trees How can I feel good when nothing's right Why is she cool when there is no breeze Vietnam You don't give answers, do you friend Just questions that don't ever end Why, God, why today I'm all through here, on my way There's nothing left here that I'll miss Why send me now a night like this Who is the girl in this rusty bed Why am I back in a filthy room Why is her voice ringing in my head Why am I high on her cheap perfume Vietnam - hey look, I mean you no offense But why does nothing here make sense Why, God, show your hand Why can't one guy understand I've been with girls who knew much more I never felt confused before Why me? What's your plan? I can't help her - no one can I liked my mem'ries as they were But now I'll leave rememb'ring her When I went home before No one talked of the war What they knew from TV Didn't have a thing to do with me I went back and re-upped Sure Saigon is corrupt It felt better to be here Driving for the embassy 'Cause here if you can pull a string A guy like me lives like a king Just as long as you don't believe anything Why, God, why this face Why such beauty in this place I liked my memories as they were But now I'll leave rememb'ring her Just her
Great voice! Just my two cents worth.... By the song's lyrics, it projects inner conflict, deep human anguish, desperately seeking God for an answer, " why now, why today?" Simon Bowman and Will Chase effectively projected those emotions with soulish frailty, not with cockiness like rolling of the eyes or a tinge of personal haughtiness. Aaron is a great actor and am sure he will refine his take on Chris if he gets this role, i hope he does!
+App Green I think though there is some room for haughtiness if you think about the line...why now why today? He doesn't want the responsibility/feelings he has like he says he just wanted to do his time and leave with what he had...Kim is almost a burden so there is still emotion in that too
Elizabeth Edmunds You have a point there, but inconvenience to me can easily be shrugged aside. There was ember that sparked in his gut that made him invoke the name of God. Otherwise, Saigon would have been just a casual show of shallow emotions.
I’ve watched Jeremy Jordan and Ramon but I prefer Aaron’ interpretation. I can see his emotions both through his actions and vocals. Lea Salonga does a great job as well
if they make a miss saigon movie I will cry for 10 years ohmygod
There is a live stage version, coming to UK cinemas very soon, the US just missed it, not sure about world wide! Hope this helped
Krish im pretty sure there is a miss saigon movie in production. i think its coming in 2018
Same huhuhuhu
agreed, unless, of course, they cast RUSSELL CROWE!!!!
Owain Milliken it didn’t ☹️
Anyone else still replay this video 8 yrs later 😂😂
😊
Me
Plus Aaron is one of my favorite Broadway actors
Yes, this is incredible.
I do. It’s so beautiful.
Always amazed that Kim can sleep on this song...
i wouldnt if i were her
sometimes they stage it where he’s outside which makes it much more convincing
If Enjolras and the others could sleep on Hugh Jackman singing "Bring Him Home" then Kim's sleeping on a lullaby 😂😂
Maria: The Demon Barber of UA-cam I mean Grantaire slept through half of the damn revolution and if that’s no impressive idk what is.
@@foxja1 Haha 😂😂
I love the long "breeze" and then the little break before "Vietnam", it really makes the lyrics and feel work better.
+Dutch2222 Great observation. Just one of the little artistic touches he always adds.
I love that he says the line "I can't help her" instead of sings it. I don't know why, but somehow, it makes it a little more emotional for me.
+TalulahCarmichael2 He does that a lot, speaking a line instead of singing it. It makes things both more emotional and funnier. To me, that's part of acting a song as well as singing it.
+Gloria Shafton I know, and I love when he does that :)
@@gloriashafton9305 o
When he sings 'why is her voice ringing in my head' at 1:16 it kills me. I'm dead. Literally deceased.
What a great "Chris" he would have made! Aaron sounds like a 'regular' GI who happens to be able to sing from his heart and soul.
He not only sings the songs, he acts them out.
+Gloria Shafton Look at his face at the end.
+Gloria Shafton Have you seen the video of him performing Run Away With Me? Not the version that was on his live album, but the one he did sometime before that? He does exactly what you said, he acts the song out, and it's amazing.

Aaron for Chris on Broadway please. Or better still, don't close Miss Saigon on the west end and bring him here!
LOL.. wouldn't mind going to New York, but London is so much closer :)
Get him on the UK tour
Thank Aaron for bringing musical theatre genius to a young audience.
Probably the best flat out male pop vocalist we have on broadway right now
When Miss Saigon comes to Broadway, I want either Aaron or Jeremy Jordan as Chris. They'd both be perfect.
I am SO with you! UGH! Wishing very hard.
Madeleine Brown Can they make one of them a replacement so I have an excuse to see it again?
PLEASE
WHY GOD WHY DOES THIS MAN NOT HAVE A TONY
He does now🤪🤪🤪
I live for his "why is her voice ringing in MYYY head?!".... beautiful.
He would make a very compelling Chris...
Holy shit
Hoooooly shit
Whoo boy
Watching that was an experience
This could be his audition for Miss Saigon New York in 2017.
+nobase OMG YES! That would be amazing.
+nobase YES I NOMINATE HIM FOR CHRIS
+nobase It's actually considered to be quite unprofessional to audition with a song or monologue from the show you're auditioning for.
+Mathew Hutchins The last time Miss Saigon had an audition, they were ask to pick one song from Miss Saigon to sing. I guess it depends on the producer.
nobase It does, but as a rule of thumb it's best not to audition with material from the show unless specifically asked to do so.
Saw Miss Saigon 10 times on Broadway. This is outstanding! If you've never seen it on Broadway you won't understand how good this is.
Ahhh… One of my favorite musicals and songs from it; sung by my favorite male Broadway performers. Would love to see Aaron’s performance of Chris in person. 😍
0:12
"I love this song."
"All he did was breathe into the microphone."
"Shhh."
OMG. Ramin probably does my favorite rendition of this song....but this is a very close second....seriously....I'm melting.
Listen to Jeremy Jordan's version, it's so emotional and just pure amazing, I was I literally shaking and getting chills when I heard it!
@@taylorlahaise YES. THIS.
He's perfect for Chris. Great performance. So many good songs in this show.
I think that I broke the repeat button:-) What a voice and performance to go with it
I would use my life savings to go to America and watch him as Chris so please make this happen💜💜
Same here :)
I finally got around to listening to Miss Saigon's soundtrack and after hearing this I immediately thought Aaron would be such a great fit for a Chris and frick I stand by that after hearing this. Broadway would be missing an excellent opportunity to use Aaron in the upcoming production.
Well if they push ahead with the Miss Saigon movie as Cameron Mackintosh keeps saying, then they have their Chris right here.
Little Paper Stars
i don't want to
I watch this video every single day!❤️❤️
Please be Chris when Saigon goes to Broadway. Oh my lord
Holy meatballs! What a voice and presence
i can see him and eva noblezada together in miss saigon as chris and kim on broadway . they looked like they have a good chemistry
omg Eva is from my city and I saw her in her high school production of West Side Story on a field trip when I was in middle school. she's amazing. I've kept up with her ever since and when I found out she was heading to broadway, I freaked out. being Kim and Eponine in West end was great but Kim on Broadway omg I'm so excited

I know right tbh I don't care about the age gap of 12 years
+Steph Sardonyx Lmao literally girls and Aaron. he's 32. this age gap is 14
This is one of my favorite things ever
OMG...crying over this performance. He would be perfect for the role of Chris
How multi talented is this guy! Amazing!
omg i've always said that he would make an awesome chris!!
EXCUSE MY INCOHERENCE BUT AARON TVEIT CHRIS IN MISS SAIGON MOVIE ASAP PLS THANKS BYE
So beautiful.
Love, love, love his voice!
This is perfection. I love his version of this song!
My god do I love this!! He is perfection
He'd make an amazing Chris! :)
OH. The strength, the passion, and his phrasing absolutely slays. I've only seen one show on Broadway - and this was it... Thank G-D he didn't sing "Bui Doi" or I'd be crying twice as hard...
I would literally die if he plays Chris. Can't stop watching this video AHHHH
Aaron, yes!!!! Please play Chris one day, or make an album of your greatest covers of songs!
i have been playing this for 3 days already 🙃
His “my head” 1:19 is so good 😭😭
Yup. Aaron Tveit needs to be the new Chris. Broadway, or the movie they're supposedly making... either one is good for me!
This play caught my interest for more than one reason. The talent was #1. It brought to light the sadness of what happens to more than one child and mother. Recklessness brings havoc. It's not o.k.
This is absolutely beautiful.
The girls screaming is the sound of a thousand ovaries bursting....Aaron is a powerhouse!!! I promised myself I wouldn't cry..... I need a minute. :)
+Akilah Acka LOL @ovaries bursting.
What an Amazing and emotional performance.
I'm glad we all agree in the fact THAT HE NEEDS TO BE ON BROADWAY PLAYING CHRIS IN 2017, FOR GOD'S SAKE.
+Ale Valdemar I believe the West End is coming over and not happening. Huge, long time fan, and interested to learn any facts out there about the flashy film planned.
1:18 best part ever
Thank you! Thank you so much for sharing your AMAZING videos!!!! :)
Love this man
i never knew i needed this until now
I still am hooked on Will Chase's performance but Aaron Tveit brought it a lot more emotion than other singers I've seen.
What a talented hottie...
Yassssss Aaron
The EMOTION here. I just...
Amazing!!!!
AARON PLEASE BE THE NEW CHRIS IN 2017
Why such beauty in this face (and voice)?
omg INCREDIBLE
i really want them to do a miss saigon movie with live singing like they did les mis, and i want aaron tveit or jeremy jordan as chris. eva noblezada would be cool for kim, and it'd be really cool if lea was gigi :)
marley green rumour has it that they've found a director for the film of Miss Saigon
awesome!!!!♡♡♡
Aaron, please play Chris for the movie adaption!!
Too much 🔥
After watching the absolutely gorgeous proshot with Alastair Brammer as Chris, I'm convinced previous barricade boys make the best Chrises (which I guess works well with the Eponine-Kim connections! I joked that Eva Noblezada died in the arms of more Amis than most Eponines but there's still a thing there).
I agree. Aaron, Alastair and Ramin
Aaron is the perfect Chris 💗
I can see him on Broadway but I REALLY want him to play Chris in the movie!!
Aw he misses performing on stage in from of people that even his serious mood for the song is affected 💕💕
His singing & acting are both still so amazing tho
Damn Mike rebounded well from his addiction.
hi, it's 4:33 am and i'm on an aaron tveit roll since yesterday afternoon. just sayin' (pls send help)
We can't help you, no one can.
Why God did you make Aaron perfect?
I would love to see him play Chris he would be great! :)
Why can’t no one understand 💝I don’t talk to a wall ♥️n no one leave the one behind ♥️
Aaron is like a cross between Alistair Brammer and Bradley Jaden...it's a good mix ✨
Thumbnail really says “w h y g o d”
He would make a phenomenal Chris
2015??? Where did the time go?? 😨😨
Right??? How does time work anymore? Time isn't real.
THIS WAS TWO YEARS AGO BUT I NEED AARON AS CHRIS NOW P L E A S E
Why does Saigon never sleep at night
Why does this girl smell of orange trees
How can I feel good when nothing's right
Why is she cool when there is no breeze
Vietnam
You don't give answers, do you friend
Just questions that don't ever end
Why, God, why today
I'm all through here, on my way
There's nothing left here that I'll miss
Why send me now a night like this
Who is the girl in this rusty bed
Why am I back in a filthy room
Why is her voice ringing in my head
Why am I high on her cheap perfume
Vietnam - hey look, I mean you no offense
But why does nothing here make sense
Why, God, show your hand
Why can't one guy understand
I've been with girls who knew much more
I never felt confused before
Why me? What's your plan?
I can't help her - no one can
I liked my mem'ries as they were
But now I'll leave rememb'ring her
When I went home before
No one talked of the war
What they knew from TV
Didn't have a thing to do with me
I went back and re-upped
Sure Saigon is corrupt
It felt better to be here
Driving for the embassy
'Cause here if you can pull a string
A guy like me lives like a king
Just as long as you don't believe anything
Why, God, why this face
Why such beauty in this place
I liked my memories as they were
But now I'll leave rememb'ring her
Just her

*hearing him sing*
*me* 🤰🏻
Literally me
whooooaa!!!
Completely convinced he's playing Chris in the revival
That would be so awesome!
Really hope it's true. His performance is amazing and so beautiful! Way better than the one I've seen years ago.
Tam!
Holy crap
Why God Why is Aaron not playing Chris in Miss Saigon :-(
💕
I’ve watched Jeremy Jordan and Ramon but I prefer Aaron’ interpretation. I can see his emotions both through his actions and vocals. Lea Salonga does a great job as well
Do you mean Ramin Karimloo?
😍😍
Can I have that t-shirt off his back?
He's hot!
PLEASE BE CHRIS NEXT YEAR ON BROADWAY, PLEASE
crapy sound but I'd love to hear him on Broadway (or even just a studio recording of this).
Why didn't I know that Aaron Tveit is literally the best Chris to exist???
He is a freakin doll :)
Imagine Aaron singing a few songs from Dogfight !!
Kind of want to see him sing some songs from Spring Awakening too
Me after finding out that Aaron Tveit tested positive for Corona Virus: WHY GOD WHY????
Me, too!!!
OMG please please please be Chris!!!!!
