"Someone to Fall Back On" by Jason Robert Brown

[kealanuhea123]

OMG!! that was beautiful, I love your voice!

[beebstheubelover]

As you can see, I've been watching your videos all day. I am not ashamed.

A-your voice is like honey

B-I love you

C-I couldn't help but state at your hands play the piano the whole time. Memorizing

You're just the best at everything you do.

[blahrocky]

I am completely mesmerised.....MY GOD



[anjanachname]

very pretty

[wickedude]

I've been singing this song all day, I love it and I love this rendition.

[buzzleify]

Just beautiful, from a total JRB fan x Nicci x Lovely to hear it sung wiht such soul x

[buzzleify]

Just beautiful, from a total JRB fan x Nicci x

[Brie722]

One of the mist amazing voices I have ever heard. Well done.

[cweastmanmusic]

Whoa you are so stellar, and watching this makes me appreciate the song that much more and your talent. We see so much female talent all the time but it's very often that it shines like yours does and you can feel the emotion and not just the notes. Amazing Job!

[swa444]

@sbort this was probably the most fantastic thing i've head this year. You inspire a lot of people from the looks of things and now im in the mood to go sing some JRB! Maybe i'll post some vids like yours, but obviously they'll hardley mesure up haha. :) Keep on singin! i'll tune in

[NoOnesBussiness]

wow. just wow. this is PHENOMENAL. i wish i could sound like in general, especially after much vocal exertion AND being sick. oh, and Jason Robert Brown tweeted about you. hence, how i found you. just thought youd like to know that :)

[sbort]

@NoOnesBussiness i know, hes my bro. thank you :) YOURE phenomenal! <3

[wickedude]

I can't believe there's still people who like Aly after this. She was terrible. This, on the other hand, was amazing. No current popstar could sing like this. It makes you wish music stars nowadays had actual talent.

[sbort]

@wickedude wow.... thank you. mad love for this comment <3

[wickedude]

@sbort @sbort I've been a fan for a long time, I want to do this song for my school's talent show. I'm just a little scared of some of those high notes. Jason Robert Brown is, by far, my favorite composer, but he makes baritones weep.

[SnailDalee]

I must have watched this about a million times. I am in LOVE with this video.

[discobrown60]

A powerful and yet sensitive version of the JRB classic. Beautifully sung. I look forward to your next rendition.

[missteek3]

Absolutely wonderful! Normally I can't find myself getting through a whole video, but I watched every second of this. Amazing :)

[IcedFire27]

One word - WOW

[sbort]

@IcedFire27 THANKS!! <3

[IcedFire27]

@sbort Seriously - I cannot stop watching this!! The words, your voice, the way you sing it, truely beautiful

[sarahnade13]

that stupid ass that thumbs-downed this video should be bitch slapped.

[stewartyu]

Love love love

[stephxhoney]

*chills* you are phenomenal.

[jk22jk]

this is absolutely gorgeous!!! I smiled through this whole thing! :)

[optimystical51]

This is, without question, the most extraordinary version of this song I have ever heard. Congratulations. Stunning performance.

[ohmagaod]

this was wonderful! you have this great pop sound to your belt that sort of makes me wish i weren't so classical-sounding. love the tender ending portion in that nice breathy head voice. gave me chills.

[RachiePachieable]

Incredible! I came across the title of this song while searching for sheet music and decided to give it a listen on youtube... so glad I did because your version would be the one I want stuck in my head! The high part at the beginning is lovely. Kudos!

[jerbear145]

Wow. This is fantastic. You have an incredible voice fit for a Jason Robert Brown score. It was lovely. :)

[Johnnydeppritus]

wow, Shelly. This is my FAVORITE JRB song. Ever. I Youtubed it not knowing you covered it, and as soon as I saw, I knew I had to watch it. I actually just used this song to tell my man how I feel. ha. Marvelous, Shelly. :)

[psychosoprano]

shelley, I'm obsessed with your voice. stop being so talented. it makes everyone else look bad.

[olgamenya]

YOU ARE GREAT!

[DoitWithFroggyStyle]

beautiful :O

[woodlandcreature22]

you are MY wildest dream.

[roseface]

[Sondheim420]

Go head girl, you can blow!!!!!!!!!

[tzipporahcook]

Oh..goodness. That was.... well, it was beyond words. Thank you for changing it up and making it your own. I just... I think I need to go cry for a while.

[EWhitacreFan]

[jaz52889]

Wow you are absolutely amazing amazing amazing. You have made me cry and made me feel comforted and just made me feel. I just watched this video 5 times and then made my roommates wake up so they could watch your brilliance. You should be on Broadway. Get it girl :)

[sbort]

muah, muah, muah : )

thank you <3

[gahlindafied]

I'm obsessed with this. I've watched it like 30 times.

[scrabbleandtea]

Absolutely beautiful! Could you tell me what key this is in?

[fandangogirl]

chills, chills, chills, chills, chills....I get goosebumps everything I watch this.

[snew82]

This is, without a doubt, the most brilliant and moving version of this song that I have ever heard. Thank you so much for uploading this video.

[PeterJRip]

I keep listening to you sing this and I just ADORE your voice... I truly hope you are still using that amazing instrument!!!! Do you sing anywhere near NYC????

[srt0070]

Still a fav of mine. It's been on my MySpace for months now. I've never taken it off...and don't intend to any time soon.

[zakresnick]

That was absolutely fucking stunning. jesus. lord.

[GalahadsBass]

Wow, you can sang your face off super impressed

[hotstuffhsall2]

[brandosback123]

simply amazing. I am a HUGE Jason Robert Brown fan. This is by far my favorite song by him and I never thought anyone else could do this song justice. But you not only did it justice, but you did it better than him. You are incredible. I just listened to it like five times and now I'm going to be late for my plans! I'd like a recording please. I need to take this song with me on cd!!!

-Brandon

[b2outwit]

Simply wonderful!! Thanks Shelly!

[SweetCar0line7]

[tensminger]

[richardastbury4952]

wow absolutely beautiful..great dynamics too..AND you played at the same time!!!! x

[AlanaDoesHollywood]

This is absolutely amazing. JRB would be proud.

[silhuetto]

This is PHENOMENAL! I really hope you perform this live -- youtube can't do it the justice it requires, I think. ^_^

[funkmastafrann]

This is one of my favorite videos on youtube, and def. my favorite video of yours. I watch it EVER DAY. It's a beautiful song done by an amazing performer. Thank you for this. :)

[Queenizzay]

This still gives me the chills. Just beautiful

[MissBroadwayDork]

[Relic500]

[jastully]

[evolutionized]

[Ick69]

I will have to admit that this is not the music that I would normally listen to but when you do it, I listen.

[matthewmaclellan]

beautiful song, sung fully--so that all can appreciate the extent of its beauty

m.

[AvalonMorley]

Wow! It's always exciting to know about and appreciate someone early enough on that you know you'll be able to say, "Oh, yes, I've been a fan of hers since 'way back, when she was just posting her stuff on YouTube--I always knew she was going to be a huge star!" I look forward to hearing the show that Jason Robert Brown will write for you some day, if he has any sense at all (which of course he does, or how could he write all that great suff?).

[sbort]

this is so kind and generous, i don't feel i deserve it.

thank you <3

[jgolderos]

Sometimes when I'm listening to your songs on here I find myself thinking, "I know her... and she's my friend... and she's a wonderful, beautiful person" and I feel so blessed and lucky to have met you. You are too talented.

[sbort]

jane, this almost made me cry.

i wish you were here so i could sweep you up, hug you tight, and swing you around and laugh. i miss you =**(

[Osvaldoeaf]

Back again, and again... and again.

I must be responsible for at least 15 of these views today.

This is just absolutely the best video I think I've ever seen.

Your comedy skits are hilarious, but when you pour your heart out on that piano, there's nothing like it in the WORLD.

You're amazing, Shelly.

[briannaanderson95]

i soooooo agree...i think i have played it millions of times too...she is soooooooo amazing and no one compares....

[globetrotterking]

One of best songs that I can listen to when I'm down or simply a perfect song to dedicate to a friend or a lover or just somebody you love.

Shelly, my dear, you're truly a gift and an inspiration. HAHAHA. Where have you been? I need you in my life...Be happy!

[mettanc]

bravo, encore!!!

[demonicsatirist]

I wish I hadn't gone to bed as early as I did last night because I would have been dreaming sweet dreams with you as my soundtrack. Stupid time zone differences.

[mrbroadwaydork]

I am simply blown away by you.. honestly. Your voice almost brought me to tears here, and I'm being completely serious. I hope to one day be able to bring that much emotion to my performances...

[111hello]

One of my favorite songs ever! Thank you, Shelly Bort! This is wonderful.

[Gillis1984]

I believe you, Shelly. I believe you.

[DShines22]

...

[MissBroadwayDork]

Yeah so after watching this video I decided I don't like you as much as I used to think.

I like you even more!!! That first sentence sounded just gorgeous!! Well and, ya know, the rest of it. I love hearing your head voice.

I can't help but think that someday someone will find you on here and want to work with you...if that's what you want.

And I feel all special that I got a special mention:)

[ktheodore08]

I can't help but have a smile on my face whenever I watch your videos. You are a beautiful person with a beautiful voice. I feel your passion for your craft and for life. You have no idea how much you have touched and inspired me. Thank you!

[sbort]
