Casting Brian Stokes Mitchell as Jethro was a stroke of genius. And pairing him with Stephen Schwartz’s music was just icing on the cake! Incredible pieces of music like this are what happens when you cast Broadway level talent in musical movies.
His voice is so wonderful. I remember watching him on Fraiser even when he talks/ speaks it’s like he’s singing.. gives me chills ❤
@@aaj6115 I always forget he had a recurring spot on that show! I'm pretty sure someone was like..."Oh we have a GOD of singer, we're gonna have him sing America the Beautiful as part of his spat with Frasier" ...CAAMM WINSTOOONNNNN
Yeeessss. This is such a great point. Great vocal casting choice
@@aaj6115for the longest time I didn’t realize that he was also Hilary Bank’s boyfriend on the fresh prince of bel aire.
@@willsoneupher4040 he was whut!! I had no clue! Well thank you for teaching me this ! 😊
Prince of Egypt is my all time favorite Dreamworks movie.
sameeee!!
Same! Unmatched!
Absolutely.
DreamWorks was deep in their bag when they made this movie.
Same best movie ❤
I am not a religious man at all, but I adore this song. It always reminds me that we are our own harshest judges and you have no idea the positive effect you can and do have on other people you come across. Love this movie!
Brian Stokes Mitchell is a king among vocalists.
A little fun fact: the "lai-lai-lai" part is actually an example of nigun, which is a type of Jewish religious song characterized by repetitive vocalizations like "lai-lai-lai" or "bim-bim-bam"! Nigunim act as a way to elevate our souls towards HaShem. Love your videos
I'm not religious, but this movie and soundtrack never fails to give me goosebumps, especially this song and the River Lullaby. I may not have everything figured out yet, but even without the religious context, the idea that we all affect one another's lives even if we don't necessarily see it in our everyday is a message I think we all need to hear.
That's fate right there.
God is so amazing. My aunt always tells me he knows how to get your attention. I have not been watching church and talking to God like I should be… And here you go preaching to my behind. On a CZcams video. Thank you for the inspiration.
Brian Stokes Mitchell does sing this live in a video! Highly recommend checking it out! You can really feel his joy when watching him singing the song.
The video with him and the Taberancle Choir is just awesome.
After all these years I FINALLY hear the horns in "Heaven's Eyes" doing the "lai - lai -li- lai" part that is repeated later in "When You Believe". All the more reason to LOVE this musical. Jerrod you always do a phenomenal job and this is no exception. You always bestow light and joy and it never fails to fuel me both artistically and spiritually. May God continue to bless and keep you
Thank you so much for the encouragement! 🙏🏽 Reminding me to trust God and be happy with the steps I’ve already taken. I’m sitting here getting teary lol anyways. Love this song and message so much!
I was not expecting to love this video so much, you made such an amazing vocal commentary AND involved your faith in such an honorable and respectful way, explaining your testimony so beautifully done! God bless you brother!
The Prince of Egypt is one of favorite Dreamworks movie and Through Heavens Eyes is one of my favs from the soundtrack along with When You Believe and The Plagues ❤❤
This is one of my absolute FAVORITE tracks from this movie!! So inspirational!! It’s gotten me through some tough times. Thank you for covering it!!
Your mini sermon there toward the end literally was resonating in my spirit!! Thanks so much for sharing that!! Whew!! 🥹🥹🥹 God knew I needed to hear that, and knows I love your channel lol. He’ll use anything and whenever to get His message across to us, and today he LITERALLY spoke through you! Thanks so much!!! I can’t begin to explain the feeling I had! Wow!! God is good! #throughheavenseyes #biggerpicture #trustHim #letgetGod
Yeah, yeah He did. Felt the same thing there.
"Heavens Eyes" is such an important song to me. For the first part of my life, I never really gave much thought to any gods or religions, but that all changed eight years ago. In 2015, I was in a major car accident in which I barely survived. While in hospital, I couldn't get the idea of my near-death experience out of my head, and it led to some sleepless nights. One night, I watched Prince of Egypt out of pure whim, and this song made me think differently. I began to realize that someone above must have intervened in my accident, saving me for some reason. As I had been a history nut for years, I decided to adopt Hellenic Polytheism, which is the belief in the Ancient Greek Gods in layman's terms. After healing, I began looking at my life differently, and decided to make the most of it. Today, i have two university degrees, i have published a novel and have many more well into production, i have written and produced three songs that nearly made it to Spotify, I have attended so many concerts I have an entire dresser drawer devoted to the concert tees, and I have joined a charity service group called Kinsmen to give back to my community. This song changed my life forever, and shaped the way I see life in general.
I kinda love that a song in a biblical story made you pagan heh. I say that as another pagan don’t worry
Fellow pagan here that was incredibly touched by this movie and the music!! My husband grew up very similar and this movie was a great jumping off point for him to get a grasp of what religion and spirituality is about, along with the history lessons I couldn’t help but give him the whole way through 😂 truly a beautiful piece of art and I wish we could have more representation of old stories done this well, doesn’t matter what culture or religion it’s from - that’s the beauty of story telling to me
Jesus saved your life, he's the one who created heaven and earth and he loves you❤ do you notice that the Greek Empires are dead and gone yet Israel didn't exist for a couple thousand years and yet came back in existence again as prophesied in the bible? The God of Israel is alive, I pray that you will reveal himself to you again.
I wasn't expecting to get some church today but boyyyyy did I need it.. I've been struggling and Jaron you reminded me to have faith and trust in HIM who is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the Author and finisher of our faith and to remember to take a look through heavens eyes and see the big picture.. Thank you ❤❤
Yesssssss! Same 🙌🏿
Love that you mentioned Brian Stokes Mitchell sounded like golden age broadway- hit the nail on the head, he's a musical theatre icon! If you're looking to react to more of him, his version of "Dulcinea" from The Man of La Mancha is absolutely stunning. Loved your analysis on this one!
I think you'd love "When You Believe" from this movie. I sing it with my sister sometimes at her church, and it always makes people cry just from the emotion of the song.
Also no I'm not religious, I just love listening to and performing good music. I also think you'd love Dan Vasc's "Amazing Grace" cover if you haven't done that already.
I think he already listened to it :0
I've been watching for a while and I noticed a few of the songs from Prince of Egypt. Please do JOSEPH KING OF DREAMS! 💙 You Know Better Than I... Such a gorgeous song and the vocalist is so great at volume and emphasis
I made a mistake at work today and I tend to beat myself alot. Hearing your little sermon on looking at the bigger picture made me feel a little bit better. Thank you.
Pocahontas next! Your animation songs analysis are sooooo good! Best song is under appreciated because Colours of the Wind gets all the love - it's Just Beyond the Riverbend - beautiful vocally. If you're going to do another 90s best animated musical analysis, that's surely gotta be the one! All the love x
this song is beautiful as well as the singer's voice
Brian Stokes Mitchell is truly brilliant and his voice sounds like silk with the lung capacity of the entire brass section! It is one of the most fun pieces to perform and excellent for auditions as it’s a big of a forget gem but everyone agrees that PoE soundtrack is spectacular. Even as an atheist myself, I love the message of this story and this song in particular. It is a story of a man finding out who he is and going against expectations, throwing privilege, power, and safety away to find himself and his people. And this song is such a beautifully soft but ultimately triumphant scene of an elder providing the guidance and advice that you have to listen to heart and leap maybe before you think you’re ready and trust you can catch yourself and recover even if you miss a dance step or two. It’s so uplifting and a wonderful message ♥️
this is my fav song from the movie.. I also really like the small touch they did at the end when the song ends but you can still hear the drum beats in the distance.. it makes it seems like the celebration/song never really ends, which is an interesting concept in itself. like the true song never ceases.. life as a celebration
I love this song and the live version is even more powerful 💜
3:10 that lai la lai lai leeda lai lai is actually something we do in synagogue on a regular it’s very fun and cool to do and hearing everyone singing at once with so much joy is amazing
Ok I almost shouted listening to you tell your story. I feel like I am in a place of transition with my own job and have been making strategic moves. Doors are being opened for me to do what I need to do. I also got comfortable but am so looking forward to what's next. I love music but I know nothing about music theory but I love hearing you talk about it. I can tell you have the passion for it. Love your videos.
I pray this song never leaves my memory! It’s so beautiful and my go-to when work stresses my out.
I wasn't trying to cry today😭
Definitely teared up, too! 😢
Prince of Egypt is my favorite biblical movie, and the vocals in the movie are crazyyy
i don’t know if you will see this but the way you explain things is just amazing and i can also see your passion for what you do i just watch your analysis of halle’s angels and i knew i had to come back I AM SUBSCRIBED!!!!💗💗
Jaron, what a beautiful being you are. It’s not just your wonderful level and knowledge of voice, your spirit, your heart, just shines. As a fellow Voice Teacher, I appreciate you with all my heart!
I’ve listened to this piece so many times to absorb all the goodness from it and you still made it feel new, thank you for giving your viewers such wonderful and interesting things to think about 👐
Jeron, I'm so glad I found you. I actually only found you a month ago. But in that month, because of YOUR break downs and explanations of the vocal techniques, my singing has already greatly improved. You truly are a gifted teacher.❤
Thank you, Jaron, and bless you!!!
Always fun watching reactions to this movie's songs, but also enjoyed hearing some of your personal story!
God the music still gives me chills after all these years
I loved hearing your thoughts and breakdowns of the voice techniques used! All the songs in this soundtrack are just as good and if you're taking suggestions, I would love to see you do When You Believe from Prince of Egypt as well when you can, it's a gorgeously written and performed song as well as very emotional (whether interpreted religiously or not). Thanks for everything that you do and just existing!
YESSSS !!! No you didn’t I’m SO EXCITED for this! 😄😍
This song gets me in my heart strings
this almost brought me to tears...i never really appreciated this song or even remembered it...WOW...and he sings it with so much passion...this really moved me!!! especially in the context of Moses being in the wilderness and finding joy and beauty 🙌🏽😭😫
I received the beautiful and encouraging truth you shared. Lord Jesus is challenging me to trust him as I step out in what He is calling me to do.
Great vocal commentary, and shout out to that PHENOMENAL chorus, too!
Goose bumps everytime
You have a beautiful energy when you do these videos and it’s very uplifting. Always a pleasure to watch someone speak of something they are passionate about.
You have such a beautiful way of articulating your analysis. Thank you
Man I needed this message. Thank you for what you do!
React to the live Christmas performance of this song!!! It’s beautifully done!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
6:20
PREACE!!! 🙌🏽🔥🙏🏽❤
Prince of Egypt is the best animated movie and I'm stating facts
Also your insite is so intuitive it blows me away
Yay!! I was hoping you would do this one💜
7:49 definitely sending this to my mom! she's currently going through this, I'm hoping this will encourage her:)
I've been begging her to leave for years as well LOL
Your videos are amazing and the way you explain is beautiful
Your videos and deliberations are so inspiring and insightful, thank you for making these
Great video! Your energy is magnetic!
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCHHH
PLEASE DO MORE ANIMATED MOVIE SONGS 🙏🙏
Really should do playing with the big boys now. Since you've done the other songs from this movie
Thanks for taking me to church-I must not have been paying attention somewhere-God likes to smack me with 2by4s every so often and this was one I needed to hear today. ❤
One of my favourite songs ever! The first time I heard it I just bawled
The message, the delivery, the tone - a masterpiece
Jaron, you are incredibly entertaining and inspirational. Love your videos!
Thank You!
Can you do an analysis of "Wheels of a Dream" from Ragtime the Musical? It also has Brian Stokes Mitchell and Audra McDonald. His voice is a strong baritone and hers is operatic.
That song is a religious experience all in itself
Another vote for music from Ragtime. Any of it. All of it. Please!
@@mgamble79 My favorite musical of all time!!
I been listening to this song cause it’s been in my head for the longest while I’m here feeling hateful of myself. So now this vid comes out,, I feel like crying rn
One of my favorite movies of all time ! Thank you for thissss ❤
Yess I love how you took me to church in this video!!! Great analysis and message ❤
The transition into the song is flawless!
There's a great version of Brian Stokes Mitchell singing this song with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir if you want to see him sing it live!
Amen. Imma have to repeat your sermon/testimony if you will, that I NEEDED TO HEAR. 😭🙌🏾 Glory to God!!!
thank you for taking the suggestion!!!
This is what I was waiting for!
Let that thing go and trust me let me show you what I can do for and with you so Yah Gets All the glory .
YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!!!
Loving the prince of Egypt content
This song always gets me 🥹
You nailed this analysis!
Preach Jaron, preach!
One of my favorite songs from the movie. So peppy and fun and uplifting ❤🎉
Please check out the live version of this with the orchestra it's amazing
Might as well do the rest of the soundtrack! 🙌
❤ Love it!
This is always my most favorite song of the whole thing. It lifts me when I'm down.
I always get goosebumps whenever I hear this song.
My favorite song. I listened to this song back to back going through a break up when I felt inadequate.
Thank you for sharing
I like a lot how you explain the music, because not only take the tecnical analisis you feel the music aswell and explain the meaning of the music, and that is a thing that I do not see in another reaction, the techical is a very important to explain but the lyrycs behind some music punch you more than a good performance. I really enjoy your analisys in this song and in "When you believe" God bless you.!!
The music in this movie is truly beautiful❣️❣️
Crying the whole way through.
Thank you God for you message 💛💛💛
More prince of Egypt for daaaaayyyssssss
you need to do hunchback of notre dame!!!
I want to sing too. Best vocal coach ever and I mean that
I look through heavens eyes
I’ve been so obsessed with this soundtrack since I was a kid, but it took me being with my boyfriend who is Jewish to realize how authentic these songs are after hearing true Jewish music and traditional songs. This song came on while I was playing music early on in our relationship, and he asked why I was listening to Jewish music. lol It’s so beautiful, and you should definitely research some in your free time to see the comparisons. Also, Brian is brilliant, and if you haven’t heard of his other works, please do.
I don’t know if anyone’s suggested it yet but I definitely think you’d enjoy checking out the Joseph: King of Dreams soundtrack next!
I love the entire soundtrack from The Prince of Egypt. This song is just in time.
Would you consider analyzing/reacting to “Better than I” from Joseph king of dreams?
Top of My Bucket List - Meet Jaron. Lord, please add this to the list of Desires of My Heart.
I’m going to add my wish to that Linda what about you, me, and Jaron having some lunch? I bet we’d have a heck of a party!
@@AdriaFirestone Might be too much power in the same room? LOL!
There is a video on here were Brian Stokes Mitchell sings this song with the Mormon Taberancle Choir and it is a sight to see
😢 Thank you!
Another favorite song of mine
Loved this reaction. You should react to David Phelps's "No More Night." It's amazing. Such a wonderful vocal piece!
