[pinkglam1311]

[jesswantstobewicked]

My friend and I wrote this into a duet and sang it at a friend's 21st. SUCH a beautiful song!

[jumpnjive00]

I just found that you have a Youtube 'channel' of your songs! This is wonderful! I came across your work this summer and cannot get enough. This song is a particular favorite I've been singing nonstop. Thank you for your great work!

[Wes5045]

Your music is like therapy to my spirit.

[peerez90]

Why are you such a tender heartbreaking man : ( ITS SO BEAUTIFUL

[peerez90]

why are you such a tender heartbreaking man :'''( its so beautiful :D

[cookiedoughlover36]

Why can't i stop listening to this.....

[ferrybeachgal]

Sutton was the perfect choice <3

[MacLovinluvsDinah]

Im soo glad Sutton Foster sang this song.

beautiful song by the way :)

i LOv Your Music

[tera0513]

Magnificant. <3 .

[coedcamper]

this song is beautiful. thank you so much for writing it.

[buriedlovely]

Huge fan of the song...but honestly, if we are going to find the best person to sing this, I am a firm believer that the person that wrote it should sing it.

There is a reason it was written...a person it was written for...

I think your version of it is the most eliquent and perfect.

[MagikMelody22]

i love hearing sutton sing this. im a huge sutton fan, but this isn't what you typically hear her on - and i hope we hear more of her like this. because its absolutely lovely. thank you for writing this. its gorgeous.

[begreenandMOO]

this is simply brilliant.

the end.

[musicaldramarama]

Here's the thing-- I LOVE Sutton, she is my ultimate hero but when you sing your songs, something about it breaks my heart only to make it more whole in the end. Ok, I'll go back to listening to KEYS now.. I just had to go back to this video in my favorites and tell you this. Thank you. <3

[KatieRiley2]

so ... i cry every time i listen to this. no exaggeration.

[Phantomnightwatcher]

Michael Arden or Benj Pasek?

[Phantomnightwatcher]

In addition have you considered Hugh Panaro or Jason Danielly?

[mymusicalife]

Sutton Foster or Josh Groban..

OR BOTH! ^.^

[Barnekoff]

I think I should sing it. Lol But honestly this is another beautiful song written by you good job Scott!

[Billydude9]

Beautiful. YOU should be singing it.

[DuckaKellBell23]

This song is going to be AMAZING sung by Sutton Foster, she is PERFECT! I am SOO excited to hear her sing this!!

[IRBM]

Lisa Brescia she still hasn't been on any cd :(

[graykittykatt]

SUTTON FOSTER

[MamaMaryEllensBlog]

I can so hear Sho singing this with a hint of SOUL !!

[rgf610]

How about Brian McKnight? He has a real powerful voice and could do that song justice. That song is amazing!

[ilovewicked4ever]

Jenna Green

[atebbe]

I love Gavin Creel just as much as the next musical theatre nerd but I really think this song will be done the best justice by a deeper voice (more a la Scott Alan)... is it odd that in my head Jason Robert Brown would be singing this?

[jtrudeau88]

I can't wait to hear who you pick....it's a great song!!! I also can't wait for the sheet music to be out, so I can sing it :-)

[smlupton]

I was going to suggest Gavin Creel as well. He's a very talented performer, and hearing him sing Not Afraid from Michael Arden's show 'Easter Rising' melted my heart, so I can't imagine what this would do.

[KatieRiley2]

Celine Dion!!

[Magalamb]

Since you're into promoting lesser-known but ridiculously talented people, I'd recommend Michael Kadin Craig, currently Matthew in Altar Boyz. His version of Monticello from Edges is a revelation!

[RET1REMENTFUND]

knowing that you are far too modest to sing the song on the album I would say 100% Michael Arden

[90690002]

You can sing it:)

Or Danny Calvert:)

[tracingaladder]

Beautiful song, as always.

I would love to hear Michael Arden do this, I think it would sound beautiful

[samissuper]

amazing song !!!

love it i think you should totally get JESSE L. MARTIN to sing your song !!!

gahhh love it : )

[vesea]

Beautiful song! CASEY MOORE!!! or Josh Groban!

[RadicalSmile]

I agree with having Matt Doyle or Michael Arden sing it.

[itskipyo]

why not you sing it.

whoever says you dont have a good voice is clearly stupid.

and this sounds like YOUR song. i really dont think any one but yourself could capture the emotion as you did just now.

sing this song, boy. :]

[SallyCook101]

If you are not going to sing it yourself, I would like to suggest Anderson Davis (CMU '06). He is amazing!

[longshadowsfalling]

Absolutely beautiful.

Gavin Creel would be perfect for singing this on the CD.

[jeffreysuna1]

Anything Cheyenne Jackson sings will be my favorite song ;)

Why don't you just write a whole album for him. It's about time he releases a solo CD. And with your fab writing it's gotta be a hit.

[mgreenlief00]

I hope that someday I meet someone special who is the incarnate of you. You are just so amazing to me. Each new blog brightens my day and motivates me to continue writing.

You. You should sing it on the album.

[dirtyricex]

most definitely you!!!

[dandaman0001]

so beautiful.. i think i should sing it.. lol jk well sort of

[ilovewicked4ever]

I'd love to sing it ;-)

But if that doesn't happen (lol) it should be you!

[drewdmartin]

gavin creel

[mcfit707]

I love it! I'm definitely thinking Julia Murney, though I'm also going to agree with whoever said Phoebe Strole or Laura Benanti.

Male-wise, I'd have to say Michael Arden or Matt Doyle (there's something to this song that reminds me of BARE, I guess)

[delovely1323]

... That performance was beyond words. What a gorgeous song.

I want to agree with a bunch of people that you should sing that song on the CD, because it just made me cry, it was amazing. However... if I must suggest someone else besides you, the answer is Matt Doyle. As I was listening I was imagining his voice in the song and I got so many chills... just thinking about it!!!

You're amazing, Mr. Alan. :)

[VlogSpell]

There's no way anyone could convey the spirit of this song better than you. My vote is you... all the way.

[mb12530]

Michael Arden without a doubt!!!

[LeoLaredoMusic]

My vote is for Michael Arden!!

[CYGAR001]

scott alan! very beautiful song! You.  You should totally sing this song. You.

[USCthea89]

Lisa Brescia...I wanna hear her so bad on one of your cds:)

[woodlandcreature22]

the only logical person to sing this song is you. hands down.

[KQ24601]

Laura Bell Bundy/Stephanie J. Block/YOU!

[cctcdancer22]

Female: Laura Benanti, Phoebe Strole, and Kate Shindle

Male: Aaron Tveit, Brian D'Arcy James, and Matt Doyle

[tresblog]

female: Natalie Weiss

male: Josh Young

[gahlindafied]

Michael Arden all the way!

his voice just takes on a song like this sooo amazingly. haha

[mikeyseshi]

MATT DOYLE 100%

[tyreseus]

Great song. All the singers suggested so far are great. I'd add Matt Doyle to the list of people to consider.

[kylejb]

For a guy I'd have to say Josh Young, but his voice might be a bit too classical. And I'd also have to agree with the others and say Julia Murney or, maybe, Lisa Brescia.

[billiebug77]

i would say

guy: raul esparza...or me! haha! :)

girl: anika noni rose

those are my thoughts on it! :D

hope i helped!!!

[broadwaysweetie]

Beautiful!

I'd say if you want a girl to sing it, I'd say Kerry Butler or Heidi Blickenstaff. If you want a guy, I'd say Christian Borle or Hugh Panaro. or You should sing it!

Beautiful song!

[mynameisthebrush]

I second the Heidi suggestion!

[jaso937]

Uh I would LOVE to sing this!!! but I second Brian D Arcy James, or Derrick Baskin, or Chestor Gregory. Women, Lea Michelle? OOOO BUT THE BEST (besides me) would be Michael Arden!

[oompa37]

Definitely Michael ARDEN!!!

[JoStockton]

i second that julia murney comment, but that may just be because i really want to hear her on this cd.

or maybe you could sing it...

[oompa37]

Wonderful song! I would love to hear Michael Arden sing it! That is just me, lol. You sing it well, btw.

[HilarySwankfan24]

First of all, that was beautiful! I think Gavin Creel would be a great person to sing it. Although, you are an amazing singer as well! It might be nice to have the album end with you!

[xbritishbratx]

Gorgeous. Can't wait for the new CD!

And as for who should sing the song, I think Karen Olivo would more than do it justice.

[joeygillis]

I didn't know if this was really meant for a male or female singer, so here is an idea for both.

Male: Norm Lewis

Female: Emily Skinner

I also thought maybe Brian D'Arcy James would be a good choice.

[andrewxlin]

This is such a good song. You should definitely sing it! Love hearing your voice.

[AOSBORN9109]

gavin creel.

[RENThead311]

Wow. Such a beautiful song! Have you ever thought about YOU singing it yourself? Your voice is undoubtedly beautiful!

[hannahandsheags]

goodness, this is beautiful!

i think you should sing it[:

really really great! I LOVE IT!

ahhh so good!
