Gavin Creel | What Can You Lose 

sooo great. I've listened to this a jillion times. I love the relaxed R&B feel..it makes the piece more vulnerable. This piano arrangement should be published :)

So lovely. It gave me chills.

I've been singing this all day..that's the biggest compliment I can give..."better a bone" ( my favorite lyric in the Friend Zone Anthem).

Beautiful rendition of this song! Really felt the weight and poetry of the lyrics. Thank you!

lovely piano arrangement

What can you lose? Only the blues Why keep concealing everything you're feeling? Say it to him, what can you lose? Maybe it shows he's had clues, which he chose to ignore Maybe though he knows And just wants to go on as before As a friend, nothing more So he closes the door Well, if he does Those are the dues Once the words are spoken Something may be broken Still, you love him What can you lose? But what if he goes? At least now, you have part of he What if she had to choose? Leave it alone Hold it all in Better a bone Don't even begin With so much to win There's too much to lose

Ben is totes adorbs.

This one of my favorite Broadway songs! Sweet!

"it feels good"... aww HAIL YES it does. you SING it gavin.

I heard Madonna and Mandy Patinkin and fell in love with it, I did not feel if anyone could do well playing and singing. Please let me tell you both the passion and love behind, thank you!!!

The Dick Tracy soundtrack is magnificent... So many great song....

Beatiful!

"Favourite song, ever written" he said. This, in fact, it's a superb song, beautifully written by the great Stephen Sondheim for the film Dick Tracy. Even though, Sooner or Later (by Sondheim too) won the Oscar in 1991, What can you lose, is the true gem in the soundtrack. Madonna, delivered one of her best vocals ever along with Mandy Patinkin, brilliant as usual. Awesome rendition, guys. Hugs from Peru.

Sweet 😮

I think this is also my favourite Sondheim song too. Something about this song and it's lyrics hits me deep down. I really like being alive too though so that is a close call

His performance at Prelude was phenomenal. Such an amzing easy going voice

Gavin Creel is 24 karat gold.

agree that this is the best sondheim song!

Really lovely Gavin - thanks for sharing! 😎😎😎

Love

I'm in love with my neighbor who thinks of me as a friend. this is lovely

Superb piano playing, Ben. Nice singing vocal, Gavin.

very lovely... not a song I had heard before

I love his voice.. divine in Hair.

Never heard a male version but im sure this would be the most perfext beautiful version I will ever listen to 😌💖

good job! is hard for me to like a song I previously heard from other artist, cause it's a different style, but you are really good at this...so congratulations and thanks for sharing!

Well done, always loved it and blast it out when no ones listening. Wish I could hit those notes though. Slainte.

Nicely sung.....even better than original because i can understand the lyrics better. Thanks for the upload!!!

Stunning...WOW

❤❤❤❤

I love the Madonna and Mandy Patinkin in Dick Tracy movie varsion

👏👏👏😻😻

Beautiful! Please include piano player's hands in next video. Thanks!

Cool Stevie Wonder vibe to a Sondheim song.

I love this version! I keep wondering what makes them both smile when he turns the page? Rude doodle?

Is the Piano sheet music available for this? It's perfect.

phenominal. " just rehearsing"

@mescelestus And, you know what, the song was great, too. ;-)

Wait he kinda looks like aron tveit from Les Miserables?

I can't believe this is the only version I've ever heard sing it with the pronouns gay! It just makes so much sense with the emotions of it! Why don't more people take that opportunity?

It's a lovely rendition but it works better as a duet. As a solo piece it could work if it was clearly two sides of an internal argument. Don't hate me for having a slightly different opinion!

I know this is just a rehearsal, and just having fun with a beautiful song, but I think the melodic affectations and tempo adjustments of this version take away from the purity of Sondheim's composition. I hear a lot of 'Stevie' influences all over youtube....including this one

Madonna brought me here.

Just as Richard Burton would sound disingenuous singing Stevie Wonder, so does giving the 'Retha treatment to this introspective Sondheim gem. Why does everyone think they have to sing everything like Whitney or Mariah? I felt the same level of cringe listening to Michael Bolton trying to inject soul into "Nessun dorma". "Vincero, baby, vincero!"

aucune sensibilité juste du cabotinage à la USA

Not as good Madonna and Mandy

Trying too hard, karaoke never sounded so forced.
