Alex Newell - I Know Where I’ve Been - AIDS Walk New York 

I'll be one of the first to buy a ticket when Hairspray gets revived with Alex as Motormouth!

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL 😭😭❤️

It’s hard not to get emotional listening to Alex’s rendition of this song right now.

The way he just tossed that last note up into the heavens like SO EFFORTLESS. SO talented and moving and incredible.

I was drawn to the link because of Alex but as my husband and I sit watching, my face appears at @1:33 (second from the left) and we both scream. What a surprise and honor to be a part of powerful, important statement, #BLM, #BTLM

There's a light in the darkness Though the night black as my skin There's a light burning bright showing me the way But I know where I've been There's a cry in distance It's a voice that comes from deep within There's a cry asking why I pray the answer's up ahead yeah 'Cause I know where I've been There's a road we've been travellin' Lost so many on the way But the riches will be plenty With the price, the price we had to pay There's a dream in the future There's a struggle that we have yet to win And there's pride in my heart 'Cause I know where I'm going, yes I do And I know where I've been, yeah There's a road that we must travel There's a promise that we must make Oh the riches will be plenty Oh the dream in the future Oh the struggle we must win Use that pride in our heart To lift us up Lord knows i know Where I've been

Amazing powerful video. thank you

This is so...EVERYTHING. A Black nb person singing a song about justice and racial equality, it really just hits everything going on right now.

omg.... goosebumps like i cant describe! tears and everything

There is an expression in spanish that is "la piel se me puso chinita"... Wooow amazing voice👏👏👏👏 ❤️

Can we talk bout that Bb5 was the same scale of Amber Riley in I'm Telling you I'm not going

Imagine a Jhud/ Alex Collab.. dear lord now that’s a fabulous pair.

Alex is a powerhouse! A one in a billion talent and the emotion! The soul! Can it be taught ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

this song means such much to all the people in united Staes Of American And this Song Is Making Me Cry , God Bless Americans, Amen......

I feel so lucky and honored to be alive in the same world where Alex Newell is. They are such a pure sparkle of the Creator

OMG. Is amazing

3:58, just kept replaying that note!!!

I'm not crying...my eyes are just shooting tear-bullets at injustice... ;-)

Watching the screen fill with color literally made my eyes fill with tears. Holy smokes.

ALEX NEWELL IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!! SING IT HENNY!

I demand that Alex record a studio version of this song.i need this in my life.

Hope that one day you'll be able to meet the Lord Jesus Christ and be the handsome man that you are with your beautiful voice and also singing his glory as well.

This is beautiful, it gave me chills!

Truly blessed, May our God guide your voice path

This performance made my eyes leak. Others may sing this song, may try to claim it, but ALEX OWNS IT! The images made the beautiful music even more poignant. I was in Washington when the AIDS Quilt was on the lawn of the Mall. Hearing all the names, thinking about hearing all those names, still brings tears to my eyes even these 35 years later.

Ok but the song meaning 😢 I have so much respect to black people thank you for being strong guys . I love you so muchhh

Simply beautiful - and very moving. THANK YOU ALEX NEWELL for such a great delivery!

OMG!!! You're amazing Alex Newell *smooches* beautiful song!!

She's come a long way since the Glee Project.

Alex is so amazing; a one in a million talent. Although I must admit I'm sad he didn't go for the A this time! hahaha

Just...GOOSEBUMPS. OMG. That last note. Alex, I worship the ground you walk on.

Every single time he does this song I go bald

😭😭😭😭😭 I really like you and your voice .❣️❤️THANKSSSSSS

I love when she sing this song....yes Alex aka Unique

Alex Newell embodies the promise of America....to raise high the voices of greatness that arise within her, champion them, respect them, love them and honor them. Unfortunately, it is a promise too often broken and cruelly forgotten. Alex's voice reminds us how tragic it is to take away anyone's voice, and how we must protect and love our neighbor as ourselves and stop the violence that has taken so many beautiful voices from us.

This is beautiful. I felt this song to my core👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️

If she is not casted as one of the muses in the live action Hercules we have failed

Soooo good! Thank you for this!

So interesting that Alex doesn't identify as trans but is female presenting. What a cool world we live in now! Love his voice!

He hits it out of the park every time. That was so beautiful. Thank you Alex, Marc, and Sounds of Zamar.

There's a light in the darkness Though the night is black as my skin There's a light, burning bright, showing me the way But I know where I've been There's a cry in the distance It's a voice that comes from deep within There's a cry asking why, I pray the answer's up ahead, yeah 'Cause I know where I've been There's a road we've been travelin' Lost so many on the way But the riches will be plenty Worth the price, the price we had to pay There's a dream in the future There's a struggle that we have yet to win And there's pride in my heart 'Cause I know where I'm going, yes I do And I know where I've been, yeah There's a road we must travel There's a promise we must make Oh, but the riches, the riches will be plenty Worth the risks and the chances that we take There's a dream, yeah, in the future There's a struggle that we have yet to win Use that pride in our hearts to lift us up to tomorrow 'Cause just to it still would be a sin I know it, I know it, I know where I'm going Lord knows I know where I've been Oh, when we win, I'll give thanks to my God 'Cause I know where I've been

THAT WAS F**** AMAZING!

whenever I watch him singing this song i get emotional 😭 i love you alex ❣️❤️

Amazing voice - amazing soul 💜

This is one of my favorite songs such a strong message behind it this needs to be played more to finally get this message across to the ignorant racist people

OMFG! Angels flying out of your mouth Alex!

Who in the entire hell are the 6 people who gave this a thumbs down? Give me your address... I just want to talk to you...

Stunning, brilliant, heart-wrenching. Thank you.

An amazing voice on Alex Newell. I do not want to disrespect this person, so please tell how to address this large personality.

OMG.... BRAVIIISSSSIIIIIIMOOOOOOOOO.... MOLTOOOOOO BENNEEEEEEE......

Holding back is hard and finally gave up on the last phrase

Caralho 👏👏👏👏👏

Is Trey McLaughlin singing atop Alex??? THIS IS EVERYTHING!!!

The resonance is something

I am sobbing right now. The imagery in this are so powerful. As a gay man who has had an HIV+ partner in the past. And many HIV+ friends. And as someone who fights as an ally for the black community and is disgusted with how my brothers and sisters in the black community are treated this video hit home and I honestly sobbed for 20 minutes. The message is heard, the message is seen and the message is felt. I have shared this i have begged people to watch it. #endthestigmaofhiv #blacklivesmatter

His voice could move mountains. I'm not crying, you're crying!!

as an asian guy, i wanna can sing like him. Very mesmerizing. 😭

YES YES ALEX U BETTER SHO OUT BABY I LOVE IT..FLAWLESS PERFORMANCE AND GORGEOUS VOCALS THATS WHY I'M STILL A FAN TILL THIS DAY GOD BLESS U BOO👈💖😌
