    He is the Beethoven or Mozart of our times. Pure genius.

    • @dawnsoso214
      @dawnsoso214 5 років тому

      Don't be stupid. He's not a genius and you cant compare him to Mozart. He's insincere. oozes oiliness.

    • @moo2981

      Dawn Soso ////// He is genius!!! And so so so sincere! You are just rude! He is from Puerto Rico and truly cares about the island.

      I wouldn’t compare him to Mozart or Beethoven. Granted, he is a genius, but he is no where near as much as a genius as the greatest composers of our time, such as Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, and so forth.

    Good for Savannah for not interrupting him and putting the emphasis on her guest. Great interviewer.
    My name is Lin too.
    What an honor we share the same name.

    @brittanymcgee4956 5 років тому +67

    Lol. Random thought, but I always enjoy it when Lin takes on a Hamilton trait.
    The question: What will you do with the money.
    Lin tells his whole life story about ITH and what they were going to do and so on and so on. 15 minutes later he answers the question. 😂😍😂😍 I love it.

    @Meeko4eve39 6 років тому +75

    Words you'd never expect to be used within the same sentence (yet somehow make sense with Lin): "zen" and "Alexander Hamilton" ^^
    I'm amazed and astonished by all the good work Lin is doing, though. Someone to look up to.

      In an interview, Lin said that he'd rather do anything than run for president.

    • @kirstyfernandes1421
      @kirstyfernandes1421 5 років тому +17

      Lin had said that he would rather do anything in the world, than get into politics and run for President. His father was involved in political campaigns and that side of it, he’s seen it and he wants no part of it.
      I gotta agree, I think that being in politics would actually crush and destroy him, it would smother his flame a bit and I would never want that for him. Let him be the amazing person he is for the world, the world needs that, let someone else take on the mantle of being president.

    Lin inspires me to be the person I want to be! I've wanted for my whole life to sing until my voice is heard by the world and use that fame, not for myself but short-term for my family and friends and long-term for America and the world. I hope to soon have the confidence to be posting videos and actively sharing my love through music to the world.

    It's like he learned from Hamilton: if you don't listen to your wife when she tells you "take a break" you are in for a world of trouble ;)

    • @OrigamiMarie
      @OrigamiMarie 3 роки тому +1

      Oh I hadn't thought of that. In all of his research into Hamilton, he's had a chance to kind of understand him and see the similarities between them, and take power in that. But he can also look at what went wrong with Hamilton's ambitious, hard-driving, running-out-of-time, live fast and die young lifestyle, and take some warnings about what not to do and how not to meet a sadly early end.

Very polite and nice interviewer, kind hearted and polite interviewee, warm feelings all around. It's like a comforting hug encompassed into an 18 minute long video. Thank you, I really needed this. Also, thanks for the reminder, I do need more sleep. I'll keep that in mind the next time I feel the sudden urge to binge watch miniature baking videos!

    Lin Manuel-Miranda has been such an inspiration for me for years. I’ve always loved theater, singing, and I’ve been playing piano since I was 8 years old. When I was 14 in 2020, I found his musical Hamilton on Disney+. I was transported to an entire new world of music and theater. It was absolutely beautiful! I hope he knows how much of a difference he’s made to people all over the world, and I hope one day I can make my own music! 🤗💜
