Why, God, Why? - Jeremy Jordan (Miss Saigon) 

I can hear every vocal lesson he's ever had in his whole life shining in this performance.

Honestly how dare he. Like there is NO POINT in singing a song after Jeremy Jordan sings it. He’s like a musical instrument.

It is a tragedy that there is no proper recording of this. Absolutely heavenly

WHY IS SOMEONE THAT HAS THIS MUCH VOCAL TALENT ON A TV SHOW? Like, sure, I want him to be successful and everything but for all that is HOLY, he needs to be on Broadway at all times.

that vibrato is golden

The guy at the end that was like 'woahhh' is my spirit.

Jeremy's vibrato is the love of my life

We need an album of all of Jeremy Jordan's live performances because DAMN HIS VOICE

If I had his voice I’d never shut up

Jeremy can literally sing everything ever

The guy who says "WOAH" at the end is me af.

Holy cow! That last G and F#! Jeremy’s voice just sounds like he has a built in echo chamber or tunnel with great acoustics. It’s insane!

Can we just petition Miss Saigon on Broadway to get Jeremy to be the next Chris?!? He is so freaking talented!!!!

"Why is his vibrato ringing in my head?"

The orchestra is just phenomenal! This is one of my favorite songs and Jeremy Jordan's performance of it is the best I've heard

I watch different versions of this song but always end up coming back to this one. Honestly the best rendition

Every time I think he can't possibly get any better, he tops himself. Wow, this is amazing!

Why does Saigon never sleep at night Why does this girl smell of orange trees How can I feel good when nothing's right Why is she cool when there is no breeze Vietnam, you don't give answers do you friend Just questions that don't ever end Why God, why today I'm all through here on my way There's nothing left here that I'll miss Why send me now a night like this Who is the girl in this rusty bed Why am I back in a filthy room Why is her voice ringing in my head Why am I high on her cheap perfume Vietnam, hey look, I mean you no offense But why does nothing here make sense Why God, show your hand Why can't one guy understand I've been with girls who knew much more I never felt confused before Why me, what's your plan I can't help her, no one can I liked my memories as they were But now I'll leave remembering her When I went home before, no one talked of the war What they knew from tv didn't have a thing to do with me I went back and re-upped, sure Saigon is corrupt It felt better to be here driving for the embassy 'Cause here if you can pull a string, a guy like me lives like a king Just as long as you don't believe anything Why God, why this face Why such beauty in this place I liked my memories as they were But now I'll leave remembering her, just her

My soul is leaving my body with every key change

Jeremy Jordan sounds better live than the actual original Broadway recording. Jesus H Christ.

Wish I could see the video of this performance...I can just imagine the emotion he was expressing on that stage...I

i have heard so many people sing this but this is by FAR the best.

One of the best rendition of this song.

Oh my god. You can like this version without discrediting Alistair, who is incredibly talented as well.

Sheer perfection. This song was made for him. Every note is spot on!!!

OH WOW! He needs to come back on Broadway. It sounds like he already audition and got the main role in Miss Saigon. Jeremy Jordan sang it! He deserves a lot more recognition on his career.

Honestly this is always gonna be the best version

Well that was amazing, one of the best actors on broadway

Best version I heard.

Ok but I love him for saying VeitnOm and not VietnAYm. Also this video made me love him 4500 times more than I already do

I. HAVE. WAITED. SO. LONG. FOR. THIS.

Heard him sing this live. Absolutely insane.

Everyone cross every finger you have that he plays Chris in the Broadway revival in March.

Jesus Christ my soul has ascended, this is unearthly, I am not worthy

This is comparable to Will Chase, my all time favorite Chris. Just the amount of vocal cries he used and how he implemented voice cracks and speaking into his performances was immaculate, and Jeremy is pretty much up to par with that.

this is literally my favorite recording ever.

Who in their right mind would vote this utter perfection down?!?!

It's weird but I like that he sings vietNAHM instead of vietNAM.

This is pure pleasure. I don't even know how to describe....I mean....just like.....woooow.

A year ago today Jeremy Jordan gave one of his best performances to date. Just saw him recently perform Lost in the Wilderness from Children of Eden and Out There from Hunchback of Notre Dame. He's gotten so good!!! Wish I had recorded it!!

im thankful for this youtube video everyday of my life

wow what a voice

I just saw mis saigon on broadway hd yesterday and am still touched, so this song has a special meaning to me today.

Makes me feel like crying. The whole thing is amazing, but the last note is just incredible

THIS MASTERPIECE NEEDS MORE VIEWS

One of my top 5 musicals with one of my top actors…. My life is complete

I love the vibrato, don't get me wrong, but his straight tone is BUTTER

Tag yourself: I'm the "WOOOW" after he finishes singing

He has a heavenly voice

This man is a dream. Oh what a voice!!

크리스역을 맡은 많은 배우들이 노래하는 why god why들어보고 공연도직접가서 봤지만 노래듣고 눈물난건 처음이네요 목소리자체도 뭔가 감정적인데 표현을 너무잘했네요 진짜감동받음

His vibrato is basically my life essence.

A apresentação dele me deixa emocionado, me recorda a primeira vez que assisti ao musical em 2008. Fiquei dias em êxtase com a história. Simplesmente maravilhoso, o Jeremy passou toda a emoção que o soldado Chris sentiu naquela noite em Saigon!!!

Haven‘t listened to this in way to long.. was about time I blessed my ears again!😍 HE‘S JUST HEAVENLY❤️

Quick, someone make a film adaptation of Miss Saigon already before he gets old.

And here I am again starting a loop from 3:34 on till the end.

I am crying. This is beautiful.

I stan so much Jeremy Jordan, damn him

He is my idol when it comes to broadway songs! I love his vocals!

The end note 😭❤️ I fell to the floor

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU AND THANK YOU MELINDA WARD

Thank you SO much for posting this. I've been thriving on the clips from Broadway World and TheatreMania which only show snippets of his masterpiece. You are a blessing I needed this :)))

I love Jeremy Jordan with my whole heart and soul and I could listen to him sing every day for the rest of my life and never get tired of it

This literally cured my anxiety

Commenting the lyrics for myself because I listen to this everyday Why does Saigon never sleep at night Why does this girl smell of orange trees How can I feel good when nothing's right Why is she cool when there is no breeze Vietnam You don't give answers, do you friend Just questions that don't ever end Why, God, why today I'm all through here, on my way There's nothing left here that I'll miss Why send me now a night like this Who is the girl in this rusty bed Why am I back in a filthy room Why is her voice ringing in my head Why am I high on her cheap perfume Vietnam - hey look, I mean you no offense But why does nothing here make sense Why, God, show your hand Why can't one guy understand I've been with girls who knew much more I never felt confused before Why me? What's your plan? I can't help her - no one can I liked my mem'ries as they were But now I'll leave rememb'ring her When I went home before No one talked of the war What they knew from TV Didn't have a thing to do with me I went back and re-upped Sure Saigon is corrupt It felt better to be here Driving for the embassy 'Cause here if you can pull a string A guy like me lives like a king Just as long as you don't believe anything Why, God, why this face Why such beauty in this place I liked my memories as they were But now I'll leave rememb'ring her Just her

i wish he would be Chris on Broadway next March, but he might be too busy with Supergirl. Good for him, bad for us =(

I'm really blown away, most versions of this song I know are terrible but he slays it!

Finally we have live version. Today Jeremy just sind this song in Seth virtual concert

Goosebumps

I think that "woah" at the end speaks for us all.

THIS MADE ME CRY

I'd never heard of Jeremy Jordan before, but that was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!

SOOO..., BEAUTIFUL!!

HE IS SO FREAKING GOOD!!!! He's just so talented!!

King

Jeremy and Aaron Tveit have the best versions of this. Either would have been better choices.

jeremy jordan and patrick wilson.. They both have really really good voices..

ok, i’ve listened to every rendition of this song on youtube and jeremy jordan’s is by far the best. his voice is just superior in every way. Tveit sounds wimpy in comparison. some others are too shrill or lack the power to hold those notes to the end without losing their vibrato. jordan is masterful at power belting and his vibrato is flawless. and he’s only going to get better in coming years.

Jesus.... the perfection...

OMG WHY AM I JUST BOW FINDING THIS HOLY HECKLE MY FAVORITE SONG FROM MISS SAIGON AND THE AMAZING JEREMY JORDAN AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Now I know him to play the lead of every broadway and musical that I love. 😀

Jeremy and Alistair are my favourites for this role (even though Jeremy's never played Chris live other than this song)

Thank you for this!! I've been looking everywhere for his version!

The absolute best!

For me, the best version of this song, and I agree very much with K R.

Love his voice

This is everything. E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G

thank you for posting!!!

WOWZA

Well that was a religious experience 😶

I need him to play this role! I will give them money!

This guy is fantastic. My jealousy level is at about 9000 right now. If I could sing one song as well as him I’d only sing that song.

Really really good!

THIS!!!, IS!!!, THE SONG!!!!!!!

I wish he was in Miss Saigon 😭😭

Daaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmnnnnnnnn.

Ngl when I first saw that Jeremy sung this I was like holy shit....now that it's actually been posted....I've turned into a frigging fan girl

he's the perfect Chris!!!

I hope he gets set up to play Chris in the revival after Alastair

So good...they told him to sing wz vibrato since it s wz orchestra and he need to pull the speed down. Lea Salonga once interview about the memorable moment in this events and she mentioned Jeremy name.
