very very very good - it's not just that she can hold long or high notes and can act - her sound of her voice is just a lot more pleasant than any other broadway singers I know

This is incredible! The dynamics and control. Love it.

*sigh of pleasure *. I don’t know about the rest of you but I need more Lea Michele, I miss that beautiful voice so much. ❤

Her voice never sounded better, especially at the beginning.

she’s definitely one of the most talented singers of our generation

Oh God. This is such a treat. Every word is just crisp along with that clear vocals.

her vocal is crystal clear.

i remember seeing her in ragtime, so many years ago. what a treat!

Love to hear her sing live! Absolutely beautiful.

I think she has humbled a lot over this experience of being the target of anger. I think she’s learned her lesson, time to get over it and let her do what she does best.

She should be in Funny Girl when Beanie Fieldstein ends her run in that musical

I wasn’t expecting to enjoy the phrasing and diction this much!

I think she’s just one of those people that you just have to accept that she might be an ass on sets, she’s too fucking good

I saw her in Ragtime, singing this song at age 9 or maybe even just 8 at the pre-Broadway run in Toronto. While visiting some friends there, we got tickets to see what we knew was going to be a big hit in NY and of course it was. It was years later when she was in Glee and her previous work became known that I realized I must have seen her as a child in that show. I have kept all my Playbills and I dug that one out and sure enough, there she was, a little kid in the cast bio’s. I also had the original cast recording all those years without realizing that she was on it too.

Her voice never changed. She should be the next Funny Girl.

Perfekt,i love her voice ❤️❤️

Her voice is so beautiful and powerful at the same time 💖

im so proud of lea

we all should give pause and think, how would i react as a young performer who became super famous, rich etc at such a young age and overnight. not all handle it well performers, athletes etc. that doesnt necessarily equate to how you will be once things settled down. if all of us were judged throughout life for mistakes we made in our 20s we would all be fucked.

Beautiful. Never heard her better. Everyone deserves a second chance…to…fly!

LEA KILLED IT!!!!!! She’s talented!

I love her so so much and she will be absolutely amazing in funny girl.

I saw her in Ragtime along with Audra....OMG it changed my life.

Incredible!!!!

What a voice

Beautiful!!

50% of comments = she's so good 40% = she may not be a great person but she's a great singer 10% = she should be in Funny Girl (which have all aged well).

She has to replace Beanie Feldstein in Funny Girl... Beanie wasn't that good... and absolutely can't sing

So she’s apparently not super nice, or so the interwebs would have you believe. She’s also an amazing talent and her voice has matured since her Glee days. I know it’ll never happen, but she should be Beanie’s replacement when the time comes (if the very poorly reviewed Funny Girl doesn’t close first). It’d be a ballsy move by the producers.

Pretty and gorgeous in more ways than one

GOOSEBUMPS!

LOVE HER!!!!!!! i know she done shitty things but come on that VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She so good at singing

Her voice is just stunning. I mean, Barbra also had (still has??) a rep for being a cold diva, too. Hopefully she’s learned to modify and be aware of how she treats others, even if she has to “pretend nice” to do it. It would be a shame if her talent doesn’t find a place to flourish.

Lea ❤️

Marvelous.

Thank you so muchhhhh!

After hearing the many bad reviews of the new Funny Girl, I noted that many mentioned it was not a very well written musical, more of a showcase for talent. Maybe Murphy's way of presenting all those songs in the framework of a young driven engenue's long road to the revival of her destiny show, without our actually having to sit through thE second act waiting for the songs, was the better approach. We will always have Leas countless renditions on streaming platforms so I'm content as long as she is content. And she seems content. Also divas wil be divas. Baby, and Mariah, and Whitney were bitchy. Opera divas legendary bitchy. We just didn't have Twitter in their day.

Thank you so much!

Shoot. I miss her voice so much.

Shes amazing! The hate on her must to stop

The power of acting the song

Yo amo Lea🔥👀💪

Ragtime revival WHEN

Kelli sobbing in the background… relatable

Damn she's good. Got Kelli all choked up. Kelli must be thinking of Ragtime and her friend Marin.

the video description 💀

Does anyone know why she is singing this? Was it for an award show?

She's humbled up I'm sure.

I know she has been condemned to be difficult, but screw 'em.....the woman has talent, an amazing voice and one that emotes. Also, I have read the comments and chats that her GLEE co stars have said of her....but am I the only one to have noted that these complaints began after season 4 of that show ended. After her fiancé and other co star, committed suicide? I mean, of course, you put a group of amazingly talented young people in a musical show and there will be competition but GLEE, in the end, was her story and the others contributed to the whole story, through and with her. Even Naya Rivera, another amazing talent admitted in her book that she and Lea had a friendly but real competition but that they were friends. I must imagine that that show, which lasted so many years with a group of young people must have been so difficult.....that some have left the industry, 2 have died, some have tried to audition for the talent shows that are everywhere...but only Ms. Michelle (and Amber Riley) have continued, after dealing with an unspeakable loss, gossip, etc. I give her kudos for even going on after that and if Ryan Murphy, also known as a touch producer, creator, didn't discipline her, didn't find her to be a hard ass.....then why do the other much less successful young people condemn her? Just saying.

uncancelled!!!

Not a huge Lea Michele fan, but I think she sounds nice here. However, I will take Peter Friedman’s original performance over this anytime. (That isn’t based on her rep or anything else. I adore Peter Friedman’s performance.)

So smaazing. Scored front row seats in atl in three weeks

I miss her voice.

1:05

Did she play Audra's baby? She was great on Wheels of a Dream. 😂😆🤭

For whoever goes to one of her future shows on Funny Girl: please record it and post it on KZfaq on the name of 'Jewish girl slime tutorial' , thank you.

Shame she has the rep she has.

Have not cared for Lea since Glee. She could have saved FG.

Lovely, but what happened to her lips? Was she rude to the another cast memeber again and this time she punched her?

With her reputation proceeding her, it really impacts on a song which is supposed to be so heart felt, so intimate, so loving. I just see a very disingenuous performance and it's very sad that with her talent, I feel absolutely nothing.

It was average. She had Zero emotion behind the song. Gliding is a sweet beautiful little song and this had neither of those qualities. Bottom line is that while she can carry a tune, she can't act work a damn.

Lol of course she did Ragtime, lest we forget she's been a nasty Broadway actor since she was a child. An average performance, she can do better than this. Shocked she didn't do Your daddy's son, it's just the right song for the size of her ego.
