    To ME, she’s my only Jenna. I like Kat and Betsy and all of them, everyone is incredible without a doubt, but Jessie just does something to me. Voice of an angel and she acts the part phenomenally. Seeing her act live is an experience.

      From that first note, it has always been Jessie. I try to convince myself that other Jenna's have done it justice (and they have come close), but Jessie just owns this song. Her tone and warmth is just beautiful. It always makes me cry.

      I have never seen her live. But I agree with you. I loved seeing Kat at London’s dress rehearsal, she was amazing! but Jessie’s Jenna is incredible.

      Definitely agree that Jessie is special, but I've never felt so alive when Shoshana sang it. It was breathtaking. She got a 3 minute standing ovation after singing it. Truly incredible.

    Musical theatre isn’t about getting the best riffs or stuff like that. It’s the emotion that you get from a song and the emotion that the actress or actor puts into their work that makes it what it is and this song does it

      It's the story too. Talented artists feel extremely lucky to have roles like this with story that resonates to them and to a lot of people. I didn't feel so affected when I first heard this song alone but when I saw the show, God, she's talking and singing to the baby she used to say she didn't want. But the baby becomes her turning point and compass into finding her self worth and know what to prioritize that will pave way to true happiness. This show is just one of the proofs that exist that there's nothing a mother can't do. Their child is their pride and part of their soul.

      Are you kidding? The original Jenna is Sara Bareilles, the composer of all the songs!!! NO ONE sings those songs like she does! All one has to do is listen to Sara's "What's Inside" cd. Sara created Jenna!

    Jessie's portrayal of Jenna perfectly fits the 'she is broken, but won't ask for help; scared of the life that' s inside her', plus her vocals embodied Jenna's story. I think that's why most people can't get over her 'She Used To Be Mine' performances 😊

    It's not simple to say
    That most days I don't recognize me
    That these shoes and this apron
    That place and it's patrons
    Have taken more than I gave them
    It's not easy to know
    I'm not anything like I used to 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
    And 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 it 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
