wow!!! that was amazing, you are one extremely talented person!! and very nice job back up singers, piano player, and percussionist(s), soooooo much fun to listen to!!!!!!!!!!
This is the way this song is supposed to be sung. I love this song and @jmshew you more than did it justice. Thank you @KatiePaulson80 for uploading this!

The first time I ever heard this song, it was this version. I keep looking at other versions on youtube, but I keep coming back to this one. Mr. Shew is immensely talented, and I wish him the best of luck in his endeavors.
haha....the onset of that last high Bb.....this song WEARS you out.
i love your legato in the high licks. it's easy to make this song choppy just because a lot of people have to gear up to really get up to that high stuff. way to keep the placement high so you could still keep the legato in it.
I was part of the group this year (2009) that you got to accompany for. I just looked up Jason Robert Brown and you just happened to pop up. I sit here amazed/shocked to even think that i got to meet such wonderful gift as yourself. I never got to tell you how fantastic you were, and how awesome it is to see such talent in a single person. I wish you luck and fortune for years to come.
This brought me to tears..you are amazing and have talent like no other. Keep going strong and amazing things will happen for you. Congrats on all your achievements and the best of luck
John, dude. Amazing. I remeber just sitting at the piano jamming out with you at SCA like 4 years ago. You have gone places I would hope to see one day. Nice job my friend.
my head is gonna fall off. i can't handle jonathan. or, as i'm henceforth referring to him: the joshua jackson of theatre. *sigh* AMAZING. AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING <3
O M G !!! is this guy non pro? shut up if her isnt!!! AMAZING! its like there is no limitations to his vocals @ all! he could sing anything! his performance is amazing and the song is outstanding .... such variety inone piece! OMG he has left me numb!!! i love it when audience all instinctively jumped to there feet when he hit is like tenth money note! wot a feelin that must have been for him! AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING i want to hear more of him!
omg shew you totally kicked ass! that was incredible! i really wish i could've been there to witness this! good job and i cant wait to see how far you get!!!!
The talent that Jonathan holds is beyond his years. I can not wait to see his bright future unfold... besides being an amazing performer he also is a really fantastic person. He lives, loves, and laughs... is there really a better way to live? Props to you Jonathan. :)
This is what music is truly about. I felt the emotion, the yearning, the spirit, and the love in every note that you sang. You told a story.Your performance was more than a display of you incredible talent. It was a true spiritual experience which deeply moved every person in that gymnasium. Jonathan Shew you are amazing! Keep doing what you're doing. Thanks for an awesome week! See you next year!
