    Good god there are things I love about all versions: Aaron's angelic voice, Jeremy's humor, and now Michaels child-like excitement...NOW I REALLY DO WANT TO RUN AWAY WITH ALL THREE OF YOU!!!!!!!

    Unlike most performances I've seen of this song, Arden acts the character and really brings out a new depth in the song.

    Its so fantastic how all of these different performers sing this song, but each take a different approach on how to perform it. I cannot decide which one is my favorite because they are so different dramatically. The song by itself is so beautifully written.

    Usually I'm not a fan of a singer who takes SO many artistic liberties with their phrasing, changing of melodic lines, making some lines spoken that should be sung, etc -- but this performance is so heartfelt and well thought out that I couldn't help but love it. It's also a beautiful arrangement of the song. Bravo. Really beautiful. And Michael has a beautiful voice.

    I'm madly in love with my best friend. I can't be with her, and I try not to let myself entertain the idea. Until I hear this song. I see us holding hands on the coast somewhere. Anywhere. I imagine kissing her softly as the sun goes down. And for these four minutes, I know what happiness is. That is the definition of a beautiful song.

    I can't do this. He creates such an adorable character that is so mild and quiet, but so in love. And the end, after he belts the high note, he has this look on his face that is like 'Whoa...calm down. What are you doing?" and then the he looks down. I WANT ONE! UGH!

    I watched this video for the first time a couple of years ago and I have yet to see a performance of this song that is as moving and so full of emotions as Michael's version. (Matt Doyle's and Aaron Tveit's are vocally strong but does not come close to touching this emotionally.) Not only Michael an amazing singer, he is a fine actor as well. When you watch this, you feel like he's singing just to you. And for four minutes, we are all Sams and we want to run away with him.

    i've seen so many guys perform this song. michael arden is by far the only one i've seen who has been able to capture the essence of the character and communicate truthfully through the lyrics. maybe his voice isn't perfect, but singing requires so much more than just a beautiful voice.

    EXACTLY!whenever he sings or acts he fully takes on the character.i mean even if your not watching his peformance,just listening to it,it can bring you to tears.then you watch him and you cant keep yourself together.this is just purely beatiful,and so is he.i mean this in the least fangirly,but most matter-of-factly sense:
    Michael Arden is a god.
