That was the most intense vocal showcase of my life.

I know his voice is just out of this world… but his stage presence and how he connects with the audience is as incredible!!! ❤️

good grief this is healing my heart and soul. comedy genius

He slayed the shit out of the entire world. NOTHING BETTER than black people's voices. I swear.

It's amazing to see someone his age with SO MUCH CONFIDENCE! he's so comfortable with himself!

his vocal range is INSANE.

I watched so many times I lost count. That voice my mind escapes and relaxing you smile laugh when listening.

this so good I love who was ever singing, saw them on Glee always loved their voice, this was so good!! 😁😁😁😁

This performance is miraculous. He hasn't sung it better, and neither has anyone else. Astonishing technique

Alex did so well!!! and these lyrics remind me of Mercedes Jones' entire existence on Glee~~lol

Comfortable in his fabulous!! You go boy !! I was amused from start to finish. Didn’t want it to end... so I kept playing it over and over !! What a talented black GURL !! what a show ...I will support for sure.. yup !! And the winner goes to ALEX hands down!! 🏆👍🏽😃

I'm a little late on this video but I just wanted to say a few things. From what I've gathered, Alex is a gay man, not trans, who has the ability and predisposition to sing like a woman and cross dress. And I think that's fantastic. I know there's a lot of gender identity going around. Many on this comments section even proclaim that Alex is a trans woman or identifies as "she". But, he doesn't. And what I like about that is it send a very positive message. As a man, he chooses to wear dresses, sings crazy belts in a lighter tone commonly associated with female voices, and likes men. On the surface, one might wonder why wouldn't he identify as a she? To an outside observer, many have assumed he was as she. But here's where it gets good. Alex doesn't appear to need gender identity to define who he is. He likes what he likes, acts how he wants to act, regardless of how gender norms see him. So that's my takeaway. I'm not saying this can work for everyone. Many trans people out there were assigned the wrong gender at birth and that's caused them a lot of struggle in their lives. And many other people simply feel very strongly that they are a man or a woman, or reject the binary system completely. I'm not against that. My thought is, it really shouldn't matter. Your gender shouldn't define what you do or like or how you act. Gender norms are stupid. But, nor do I think you should let what you do, like or act define your gender for you. What's so wrong about a man who likes men, wears dresses, and sings high? Because those are female gender norms, he should identify as a female? Why can't he just be who he is and like what he likes? And that's exactly what Alex does, so I applaud him for that. Similarly, why should a girl who likes sports, hates wearing dresses, doesn't like the color pink, or whatever other stupid gender norm there is that fits here, be pressured to feel as if they aren't a girl on the inside because they like those "boy" things? Everyone should just be able to like and do what they want and not have to have gender norms slapped into their faces. Gender norms are no different than stereotypes for gender.

jesus he's so... amazing. that range, tessitura, wtf vocal chords, he's genius.

F-A-B-U fucking L-O-U-S

That was amazeballs. Alex Newell never fails to impress.

Speechless! What voice! What a talent! This young guy is really gifted!

the part I love most is just how effortless Alex makes it look. I mean I'm sure this is insanely hard to do, but he makes it look like he's not even trying and is still better than everyone else. It's awesome
