Heard this song for the first time in 1969 when I was in 7th grade, and it was sung in a talent show by two pretty tenth grade girls. There was a divine, New York Spring breeze outside, and love, mostly puppy and unrequitable, was in the air. Every time I hear it I go back to that school auditorium, and cry. Quietly.
Kristin is amazing! She has a wonderfully beautiful voice and can sing any song worth singing. Kristin has a voice that transcends time. She can sing a song from 2014 or a song from 1850 (Hard Times). Kristin is God's gift to the world. She was born to entertain. Kristin Chenoweth is an American Treasure! Kristin and Sean Hayes perform so well together. Would have loved to seen this on Broadway. Thanks for posting.
Pretty cool. They're doing the original 1968 arrangement of the song from PROMISES, PROMISES by Jill O'Hara and Jerry Orbach, which was performed before any of the better-known hit versions that were released a year or so later.
They must have really good microphones cause holy crap the her voice just glides in perfection. She has a fantastic voice but it take good equipment to capture it completely and they did it.
When I first heard they'd been cast, I didn't think Sean Hayes would be able to sell it -- I admit it. But even just this one performance shows me he makes a great Chuck Baxter. Well done, both of you.
Thanks for the tip. I wasn't aware of Glitter & be Gay. Great Video! You were right.(See, sometimes one can find good, helpful comments on the RU-vid videos).
I don't understand your comment. Besides Austin Powers Elvis Costello didn't have anything to do with this song. He didn't write it and certainly wasn't the first to sing it. It was made for this musical back in the '60's. ???
@digikate813 Yes there was an interview earlier in the show with both Kristen and Sean about the play as well as Kristen standing up to Time magazine editorial where the writer homophobicaly wrote that gay actors shouldn't play straight characters because the audience won't believe it! A very pitiful and sad man.
He should have eaten his words after Sean won the Tony for playing Oscar Levant, a straight man. Critics like that writer should be writing dog food commercials instead of criticism. A typical homophobic jerk.
@@SymphonyBrahms wow 2 years since i wrote that i don't even remember doing it anyway thanks for your response i guess if he is gay each to their own peace 😘
deweypug i think you're missing the point of it. They're singing. She's not playing. It's from a comedy. The guitar is there more for when he picks it up. Chill out. Vocals sounded excellent.
