I can relate to Nina's story and the first time I heard this song, I was so emotional. Because here was this girl who did everything she could but it was still not enough. I spent years using that song as something of a reassurance to just breathe. Watching you perform this was amazing. I love how you told Nina's and many other people's story in just this one performance. Thank you.
I'm a musical theatre girl myself and this being my favorite song from ITH I would just like to say this was amazing. Tears were streaming down the entire time. Beautiful 10/10💘
This is one of my favorite songs from musical theatre, and this is amazing. The passion and emotion you put into every word is incredible. I aspire to sing like you someday!
How in the WORLD do you mix your singing voice this well?!?! The balance between chest and head voice is amazing, and the vibrato you hear with it is beautiful!
Your voice reminds me soo much of Krysta Rodriguez. Your video of your cast of Calvin Berger is the cast I always go back to because yours was my favorite of any that I've seen. You're so talented!!
Excellent job! I have an audition for this show and we have to sing this song. I'm using this performance for inspiration and it's helping a lot. Thanks!
I love how much emotion you put into this!! It sounded beautiful! I love how you made that high "breathe" at the beginning your own and I also love your dress!!
Excellent! And I'm not just being nice. I'm a huge fan of this wonderful song and this is one of the best performances I've heard. I can tell you really worked hard on it. #Bravo
This is my street I smile at the faces I've known all my life, They regard me with pride. And everyone's sweet, They say, "You're going places!" So how can I say That while I was away, I had so much to hide? Hey guys, it's me! The biggest disappointment You know- The kid couldn't hack it, She's back, and She's walking real slow. Welcome home, Just breathe, Sigue andando el camino Por toda su vida. Nina: Respira. Just breathe- Y si pierdes mis huellas Que Dios te bendiga. Respira. As the radio plays Old forgotten boleros, I think of the days When the city was mine. I remember the praise, Community: Ay, the adoro, te quiero. Te adoro, The neighborhood waved, And said, "Nina, be brave, Te quiero, And you're gonna be fine!" Respira! And maybe it's me, Respira! But it all seems like Lifetimes ago, So what do I say To these faces That I used to know? "Hey, I'm home?" Neighbor Lady: Mira, Nina, Hey, Lady & Community: No me preocupo por ella. They're not worried about me. Mira, allí esta nuestra estrella. They are all counting on me to succeed. Ella si da la talla, Nina: Community: I am the one who made it out. Aaah! The one who always Aaah! Made the grade. Aaah! But maybe I should Mira, Have just stayed home, Nina. When I was a child I stayed wide awake, Climbed to the highest place On every fire escape- Restless to climb. Respira, I got every scholarship, Saved every dollar, The first to go to college, How do I tell them why Respira, I'm coming back home With my eyes on Aaah! The horizon, Aaah! Just me and the GWB, Asking, gee Nina, What'll you be? Straighten the spine. Smile for the neighbors. Everything's fine. Everything's cool. The standard reply, "Lots of tests, Lots of papers." Smile, wave goodbye, And pray to the sky, Oh God, And what will my parent say? Nina, Can I go in there and say, Nina, "I know that I'm Letting you down, " Abuela Claudia: Nina, Just breathe
update: I didn't get cast or ensemble but my butt is going to be backstage #lowlybackstagehandfor3years #thepersonneverputontheplaybill #unreconizedtalent

Aw thank you so much!!
The guy in the white shirt looks so unimpressed 😂 until he claps
He low key looks uncomfortable
Tbh i feel like he looked shocked and kind of amazed
This is one of my favorite songs from musical theatre, and this is amazing. The passion and emotion you put into every word is incredible. I aspire to sing like you someday!
Aw thanks so much! :)
the irony of her last name tho
❤Tiffany Jade❤ How is it ironic? 😂
❤Tiffany Jade❤ the original actress has the same last name
ebuscus567 b
Gonzalez is fairly common.
Don't get how there is irony. Latin Americans, especially from Puerto Rico and Cuba come in all shades.
I go to a performing arts school, and I’m doing this song for my jury’s and u r helping me with my facial expressions so thank u so much

Wow.
This is my street
I smile at the faces
I've known all my life,
They regard me with pride.
And everyone's sweet,
They say, "You're going places!"
So how can I say
That while I was away,
I had so much to hide?
Hey guys, it's me!
The biggest disappointment
You know-
The kid couldn't hack it,
She's back, and
She's walking real slow.
Welcome home,
Just breathe,
Sigue andando el camino
Por toda su vida. Nina:
Respira. Just breathe-
Y si pierdes mis huellas
Que Dios te bendiga.
Respira.
As the radio plays
Old forgotten boleros,
I think of the days
When the city was mine.
I remember the praise, Community:
Ay, the adoro, te quiero. Te adoro,
The neighborhood waved,
And said, "Nina, be brave, Te quiero,
And you're gonna be fine!" Respira!
And maybe it's me, Respira!
But it all seems like
Lifetimes ago,
So what do I say
To these faces
That I used to know?
"Hey, I'm home?"
Neighbor Lady:
Mira, Nina,
Hey,
Lady & Community:
No me preocupo por ella.
They're not worried about me.
Mira, allí esta nuestra estrella.
They are all counting on me to succeed.
Ella si da la talla,
Nina: Community:
I am the one who made it out. Aaah!
The one who always Aaah!
Made the grade. Aaah!
But maybe I should Mira,
Have just stayed home, Nina.
When I was a child
I stayed wide awake,
Climbed to the highest place
On every fire escape-
Restless to climb. Respira,
I got every scholarship,
Saved every dollar,
The first to go to college,
How do I tell them why Respira,
I'm coming back home
With my eyes on Aaah!
The horizon, Aaah!
Just me and the GWB,
Asking, gee Nina,
What'll you be?
Straighten the spine.
Smile for the neighbors.
Everything's fine.
Everything's cool.
The standard reply,
"Lots of tests,
Lots of papers."
Smile, wave goodbye,
And pray to the sky,
Oh God,
And what will my parent say? Nina,
Can I go in there and say, Nina,
"I know that I'm
Letting you down, "
Abuela Claudia:
Nina,
Just breathe
You're such a good a singer!!!!
How am I only just seeing this?
This is the best cover I have seen of this song by far! This brought me to tears and gave me goosebumps.
Aw thank you! :)
ERM 2 YEARS LATE BUT THIS IS AMAZING
What rating did you end up getting? Great job!
I'm not sure what my exact score was, but I ranked first place in my division :)
Good for you!
+Katlyn Gonzalez I'm auditioning for In the Heights and this is the song I selected any advice?
update: I didn't get cast or ensemble but my butt is going to be backstage #lowlybackstagehandfor3years #thepersonneverputontheplaybill #unreconizedtalent
Choir Fandom Cooking Rants and Random Channel DW techies are the best
Great job, love your voice😉

Amazing, I’m just wondering if anyone else noticed the ‘active shooter’ poster in the background? Definitely America

You did an awesome job! I'm thinking of singing this song for an audition. Do you know where I can find the accompaniment that you used. Thanks
auch nach vielen Jahren:) ich liebs einfach wie Du singst!
Usually I find this song slightly boring to listen to, but this was mesmerizing. Absolutely beautiful!
You should totally look into singing something from ordinary days!
Wait what why is she standing 8 miles from the microphone? 😂 but it was amazing 🤯
Magic voice nice looking, i watched times and times ♡♡♡♡♡
When you which you could have talent like this but you end up sounding like a dying whale when you try to sing
Maya Coan oh shit sorry I thought u were saying she sounded like a dying whale
Out of curiosity- is this the original key?
Yes
Chills!
Where did you get that dress? It's adorable.
