Great performance. Not too overdone and really good vocals too. Also, props to whoever shot this, I love how it zooms out to show the teacher/father. :D
This song is sooo well written. I am obsessed now :P At first I was like mehh this is not one of my favorite, but towards the end I was totally in love with the lyrics and music.
Colin Hanlon is just so talented. Even in I Love You Because...he's just so..hmm..I can't even find a word to describe his talent. He truly captures the character's emotions and portrays it so well. Someone please give this man a Broadway show!
Hi I wanted to do this song for a showcase my School is having but I can't find a Instrumental/Karaoke version of this song is there any way you can or can direct me to a place where I can get the instrumental it would be greatly appreciated
he has a great voice. but my favorite thing is that its rly like hes just telling a story and happens to be singing. its such a great balance. hes not undersinging to act or underacting to emphasize the vocals. hes fantastic!
i semi-agree with you. they should not have laughed at all!! however, the diction that he used on that word, made it kinda funny... but you are right.. it was the wrong time time for someone to laugh!
I am confused as to why the version Aaron Tveit sings is different. I like that version of the song better, but this performance is excellent. He's got a great voice.
Also, I think the composers are still tweaking these songs. I heard one version of "Part of a Painting" from the show on the demo CD, loved it, ordered the music on-line just to discover the second verse had been changed.
yeah the music featured in this show isnt the exact music that appears in the current licensed edition, like coasting has been drastically changed. but only a couple of the songs have been changed
I love you because is a musical starring Colin Hanlon (from this vid) Farah Alvin (The Marvelous Wonderettes) and Stephanie d'Abruzzo (Avenue Q) It's a fun, upbeat musical with some amazing songs!
The best performance of this song I have seen. Wow. He is fantastic!

Every time I hear this, I tear up. It has the perfect balance of humor, dramatics, and honesty that any good story should possess. Well written.

I think I prefer the alternate second verse (about the squirrel and such), but Colin does a great job.

This is an actual performance where Aaron is singing it cabaret style. That is why the performances are vastly different
drama24601 2 years ago
Also, in this version, they have the verse about the graduation, where in Aaron's version he sings a more random list about his "offenses."
Both are great, though!
