Thank you so much for this. Tom after 40 years I still miss you.

What a set of pipes! Adorable, too, like buttuh.

Blow my mind Andrew. You nailed it. To imagine you in a studio with orchestra would be yet more brilliant!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐. Thank you for sharing!!!

Absolutely! This is from Broadway Backwards ... a showcase where the performers choose songs that can be interpreted from a gay person's perspective. A. Rannells totally SELLS this song, as always! He is brilliant.

This man's voice is really great!

How can you not love him... Such charisma.

It must hurt to be that perfect.

I just threw my underwear at the computer. This is perfection.

Thanks for capturing Andrew's captivating performance, toni7babe...what a talent!

Songs like this one are the reason the sax was invented.

I know he's around when the sky and the ground started ringing I know that he's near by the thunder I hear in advance His words, his words alone are the words that can start my heart singing And his is the only music that makes me dance He'll sleep and he'll rise, in the light of two eyes that adore him Bore him it might, but he won't leave my sight for a glance In every way, every day, I need less of myself and need more him, more him 'Cause his is the only music that makes me dance Bore him it might, but he won't leave my sight for a glance In every way, every day, I need less of myself and I need more him, more him 'Cause his is the only music that makes me dance Yes his is the only music that makes me dance

He sang this on my birthday. What did I do to deserve this amazingness.

Great rendition of a great song and sung with such sincerity

the recording here doesn't go his voice justice, he nailed it

I simply love Andrew and the new normal *_*

Hopefully, if it is true Ryan Murphy is bringing a revival of "Funny Girl" to Broadway, this song will be back in the score.

We all love Andrew!

My favorite version of this song.

Nope. Love it in this key and I think he totally nails it on those last notes.

right on the chest voice....no mix....i love it!

Well, I don't really believe in God. ... but this performance and Andrew's amazing voice and artistry DOES make me believe in God. Breathtaking performance. Andrew's incredible talent has actually helped me through some very difficult times, recently. ... maybe there is a God? And his gift to us is recognizing Beauty in this world. And for me, that is music.

Who's hatin'? What's to hate?! He really is brilliant. Loved him in JERSEY BOYS, in BOOK OF MORMON--heck, I even came to sort of love THE NEW NORMAL. It'll be interesting to see what he does next, & down the line. He's pretty quick-witted too. Bravo.

Wonderful performance!! The orchestration is Judy's.

Why is he so amazing, though?

If someone ever does a musical bio of singer Johnny Ray, Andrew would be a natural, wouldn't he?

One of my favourite songs and he does a great job... what does Broadway Backwards mean? Men play female roles and vice versa?

Magnificent.

YOU BETTER SING IT ANDY RANDY

I think the less than ideal sound quality (accompanying the less than ideal picture) is what makes you think that. I've no doubt that, live, this sounded phenomenal. I love it even like this, but he definitely needs to perform this & have it filmed/recorded w. best technology. To be clear, this is NOT a dig at toni7babe, to whom I'm very grateful f. this piece!

Luv it

++++ O. M. Gosh. YOUGUYS!

I kinda want to do this tune now.

This song did not make it into the movie of "Funny Girl", but it is on the original Broadway soundtrack with Barbra Streisand and Sydney Chaplin.

He must not be real! He is too good to be true!

Thank you Toni7babe for posting this. He sounds great. Love that song!

OH. EM. GOSH.

This is me imploding.

I'm willing to let go of all my Black/Blatino Exclusiveness at this very moment. I LOVE Dude.

To all the haters, this is a broadway and TV show star. Original cast member of the Book of Mormon an starring on nbc's new normal

I cannot. I just can't. I am unable to can.

Nice

Does anyone know what key this is in?

nice to hear a gay man sing this! love the words!

As great as My Man was as the finale to the film, it’s a shame that this fabulous song was omitted. I would have loved to have seen Barbra sing it circa 1967-1968. Andrew does a fantastic job. Someone should mount a gay version of Funny Boy.

his voice is my only aesthetic

Does anyone know wich key is he singing?

The noises I just made were not human.

literal pain in my ovaries right now

He could add more vibrato and it would be perfect! Much better than beany too

It's a "spread" sound, which, although it can't be changed, it can be handled with proper material....other than that, there are some pitch problems that can be dealt with to improve the performance.

BAM pregnant

Awesome to hear a gay guy sing this.

I JUST

Don't get me wrong, Andrew Rannell's voice is phenomenal. But anyone else think he should have taken it down a bit (even half a step), so it wouldn't be so forced on those top notes towards the end?

Shrill!

0 dislikes. :)

He's singing it like he doesn't mean it.

Oxygen. Please. Someone help.

LOVE that he didn't change the pronouns to "her" and "she."

The producer and the director were business-oriented when they chose "My man", knowing full well that "The music", with its complex structure, cockamamy lyrics and difficult octave jumps, was a song no one in the world other than Streisand could sing, whereas "My man", with its simple structure and easy to follow melody, could impinge on the public's mind the same way a "Moon river" or a "The sound of silence" did.

I'm thinking ABBA's Dancing Queen would have been more appropriate.

Nope. He's a true Tenor; and Eb is his Key. Not mad.

Wonder why he wasn't cast in Jersey Boys the movie? Oh yeah, he doesn't look…."Italian."

Sorry to spoil the party, but while this is a beautiful song, Rannells’ version is unlistenable. I mean, he’s loud but no quality to his voice at all. If you really want to hear the song, look for Judy Garland’s version from the Palladium (on KZfaq).

No one can come close to the original recording. In fact, I don't think streisand gave as good a performance on stage that she had recorded on the obc album.

huh?

Gurl no ... no no no!

Nasal and harshly so.

he needs to take that clothes pin off his nose and get rid off that god awful whiney through the nose sound and open his pipes up, because he does he a pretty good set of pipes, just some bad training. And yes he is adorable eye candy.

How is this in any way perfect? It is a deep squeal at best, and is wholly pathetic.

Very talented man, but he's reeeeeeallly singing out his nose.
