Do you know you have scammer posing as you telling us- your fans, we won a gift- like a PS5 or an iPhone etc…they are having people contact them/AKA you… well pretending to be you?
Great reaction as always Knox, you should definitely watch the movie but another great song from the movie is The Other side.
@@stephanieschleter6054 Yes I've made a few posts on social media and even on here about it. I keep reporting them, get their account shut down, then they make a new account and do it all over again and round and round we go. I've submitted a complaint to YT etc.. - please everyone be careful!! And if you see them report them and I will continue to do the same
@@KnoxHill I actually chatted with them- to get some info. I have the Telegram screen name, and the YT user name. They did their homework bc they were saying things AT FIRST, that sounded like something you would say! After a minute the misspellings and grammatical errors are a dead give away. I forwarded it to CZcams and suggested while I’m appreciative of them protecting us over-age subscribers from things like CURSE WORDS, and SENSITIVE TOPICS, I’d throw some of that “protection budget” over into a protection from legitimate threats!?! Stealing my identity and draining my bank account, or ruining my credit is a tad more important to me than hearing profanity from one adult to another. But what do I know?
I like the choreography on this one. For background, Zac Efron is an uptown rich guy and Hugh Jackman wants him to leave it all for the Circus to live in a world of fun (which he does and finds the love of his life). czcams.com/video/GimrxP2U0ZE/video.html
You should check out the greenlight performance. It was the first time she sang it in front of everyone and it is amazing.
And I believe that was the one that Hugh Jackman jumped in and started singing on even though he wasn't supposed to (he had had surgery shortly before).
@@LokeLanirose91 Same day, different song. This one he messes up the recording with a subtle “huh” near the end and you see him throw his hand up.
Yes!!! This was amazing ! This actually what made me watch the movie. Knox-- you need to see this
Knox, listen to this one. Immediately will not be too soon. Trust us.
Yes I was gonna comment about this
You REALLY need to see this film Knox, Hugh Jackmans performance is second to none. So powerful and moving.
I agree
Phenomenal movie, i absolutely think everyone should watch it once, regardless of whether they like musicals or not.
Agreed you should really watch the entire film picking songs out of context just doesn’t do it justice ❤
@ninjatony5061 agreed i am not a fan of musicals at all but i absolutely loved this movie
Agreed. Even better than his performance in "Les Mis", IMHO
I still can't watch her first singthrough in rehearsals of this song without tearing up.
Same omg. The way Hugh is cheering her on 🥺
I can't watch this song in general without tearing up, this hits home so much...
@@RenegadeGamerr Yup, every single time. I got to hear it live during Hugh's tour and god, it's so much more powerful. I was definitely ugly crying.
Same.😢
As soon as I saw he was going watch this I grabbed some tissue 😂
Keala Settle, the main singer here, has been well-known on Broadway for decades, but always as minor characters. She knew Hugh Jackman from Broadway, and he brought her in to sing the part at the workshop to get the film greenlit as a result. After she sang this song, one of the execs cast her on the spot.
A great Kiwi (as an Aussie)
this is the anthem for all of us who've ever been bullied, picked on or made to feel bad about being who we are. if you've ever had a moment of self-doubt in your life this song will bring those emotions straight to the surface and you have to overcome them all over again. I love this song and the movie itself was incredible! I could listen to the soundtrack forever and never get tired of any of the song. "This is Me" always hits deep for me, and I remember that I've overcome so much and I'm still here today because I was brave enough to stand up and face my fears instead of letting them consume me.
Great Reaction Knox
Fr I was bulled
@@Felixpotter18 Send them my way ✌
So many amazing songs in this movie. The opening song/percussion hits you in the face immediately and the one with Hugh and Zac Efron (called"The Other Side") as well as the choreography is incredible too. Would love to see you watch the entire thing like Hamilton!
Yes yes yes!
I absolutely love this song, i don’t know how anyone could listen to it and not be humbled! We are all flawed in some way or another weather there physical scars or emotional we still have them but that’s part of what makes us unique and beautiful in our own way.! Thank you for this reaction.
My daughter and her school which is for special needs signed and sung this for a charity event. I sent it to Hugh Jackman and he messaged back and loved it ❤
As someone who was teased, called names like Casper and Medusa, and downright bullied growing up, and then later taken advantage of and abused as an adult, this is one of my life anthem songs. I cannot hear it without getting emotional.
Love this Movie even despite it's lack of historical accuracy, the message and songs are beautiful. I hope you'll react to the whole list of songs.
The scene of the movie is great, but the recording of the rehearsal in a studio... Give 100℅ more chills.
YESSS! It kills me that they had to turn off comments. She was heartbreakingly good. - czcams.com/video/XLFEvHWD_NE/video.html
was gonna come to say the same thing. I actually much prefer the rehearsal studio one.
This film definitely aligns with what you stand for and use your platform for. It’s an amazing film. But that opening with Hugh Jackman entering the arena (This is the Greatest show) and the reprise at the end is brilliant. Literal goosebumps. Hope you can check out more! Hoping for more Agust D too one day but know you’re a busy man 😊
This was such a great film! Lot better then I was expecting. Took me forever to watch it myself. Nice work Knox and happy Saturday to you and family.
I was sort of surprised to see you react to this but so glad! Love this movie! it’s really inspiring and the music and choreography are phenomenal. Like others said the clip where she’s singing it for the first time in rehearsal gave me chills.
Marvelous reaction, and you're dead on with that assessment at 8:08, Keala Settle is a staggeringly underated vocal performer.
Honestly would love to see a compare & contrast reaction between this and the rehearsal footage with the entire cast.
I also love “The Other Side” specifically for the choreography. We should just do a watch party for the whole movie :)
You should totally check out the performances from when they got The Greatest Showman greenlit... they are AMAZING
This song always gives me major chills, in the best way possible. It doesn't matter how many times I've listened to it or whether it is this original version or a cover. That's how friggin powerful it is.
Also yes, words can be incredibly painful and it is a pain that often sticks with you far longer than that from a physical wound. This is not to say that it is impossible to overcome, but it takes time and sometimes distance.
The old saying about sticks and stones is absolutely horrible in my opinion, because it invalidates that very real pain. It's kind like how my elementary school teachers told me to just ignore my bullies and they would eventually grow bored and leave me alone. They even went through the effort of creating a sketch about bullying and performing it for the entire class, yet they couldn't be bothered to lift a finger when said bullying happened literal minutes after the performance. I still remember it now after almost two decades.
Also Knox Hill, I love your videos, both reactions and music. Wishing you all the best in life.
This song always gives me chills and gets me in tears 🥺🤧
It's definitely an empowering song and I can't listen to it without crying. I feel all of the words.
This movie man. This F’n masterpiece of a film. I did NOT expect this movie to effect me the way it did, but I had every single expectation and preformed notion blown out of the water. It is easily the best musical movie I’ve ever seen.
I adore this musical. It's got such a great message about being true to yourself amongst societal pressures and how our differences should be embraced/celebrated because they're what make us special. This song specifically just hits so hard.
Also, Keala Settle (the Bearded Lady) is an absolute GEM and a powerhouse of a singer.
Knox. Long time viewer, subscriber, first time commenter. I love you reactions and the in-depth breakdowns you provide. You could make an entire series just off of songs from this movie. This movie is truly amazing and has great messaging. And it hits you differently as a parent, as well. Keep up the great videos.
Knox you're the man for reacting to this! My wife and I only discovered this movie a few months ago and we LOVE it. For at least a month after, our kids (4 and 2) would have a dance party every night playing this song, The Greatest Show, and From Now On repeatedly. From Now On is the best out of these imo but this one is up there. You HAVE to watch this movie - you, being the family man you are, will love it.
The opening number at the start is an absolute must! Chills! Thanks Knox. Hope you’re good 😊
I am SHOCKED that knox not heard this.... This was number 1 in the uk for so long, it was all over the radio and tv, then I remeber he's in the US and the radio there isnt the same but man knox you are by uk certified not just for this but for all the music u listen to from this side of the pond
i will never get tired of this song and this scene in the movie
theres a video of them singing it for the first time to get the movie approved
which might be even more emotional than this performance haha
that rehearsal also got keala (the bearded lady) the part in the movie
This film is inspired by the life of P.T Barnum. I don’t think a lot of it is all that true but the premise is cool and what stands out are absolutely the songs. Really really great songs! The beginning opening number is always a good one 💜💜
I saw somewhere and liked the point that because Barnum was such a salesman (read con man 😁) that the inaccuracies of the film are so grandeously false for the sake of the show that they become the truth as its likely how he saw himself.
And then there's how much the natural charm of Hugh Jackman changes how we view him. If he'd been played by someone more skeazy, we likely wouldn't have the same impression of the character. 🙂
One major thing they left out was that he actually had three daughters. One of them died quite young... he was also a lot more exploitative of the performers, and less supportive. He was also a major teetotaler and completely abhorred alcohol and drug use. Even went on a country-wide tour giving talks against it.
So awesome that you reacted to this. Great soundtrack. I definitely recommend checking out some more songs😊 And great, thoughtful reaction as always!
"Sticks and stones may break my bones but word will never hurt me" is actually a misquote, the quote is actually "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can also hurt me. Stones and sticks break only skin, while words are ghosts that haunt me" - Alexander William Kinglake “Golden Sticks and Stones” 1862.
The "...will never break me" (that turned into never hurt me) comes from George Cupples "Tappy’s Chicks: and Other Links Between Nature and Human Nature" 1872
This song gets me every time! So powerful & deep. I get so caught up in it every time I hear it. I tear up every time & can't up but get caught up in the movement.
First time I heard this song was in you tube -a rehearsal -first time this song was performed for the producers. It’s even more magical in my opinion. You can feel how proud and elated the cast is
did not expect this reaction, I feel everyone should see this film for the message alone, plus it's catchy af haha. Great reaction
Up next: In The Heights PLSSSSSS😅
so surprised he hasn’t yet!!
It’ll be DOPE!!!
He has already done it but it's on patr3on 🙂
@@imogen9067 !!! legend ty for telling me!
@@arantzag312 No prob! 🙂
I was recently diagnosed ADHD, finding out after 35 years that the previous me was a mask.
This song has really helped me accept the true me.
Bob Marley has that quote about when music hits you feel no pain. Even pain and sadness in music are cathartic. The emotion comes from the music itself.
There is a GREAT clip of them singing this in order to get the movie Green Lit. DEFINITELY worth watching!
I do hope you check out "Rewrite the Stars" next. This film had a lot of good tracks.
Definitely wasn’t expecting this but I’m here for it!
I don’t know how anyone can not get emotional listening to this song. The lyrics and voices are so powerful!
Hey Knoxhill,
I love you’re analysing of the songs so much and you get every message of the lyric immediately.
You are my favourite reactor for sure!
There is also a greatest showman reimagined album you should take a look at. Some of my favorites off that are
The greatest show by panic at the disco
The other side by max and ty Dolla sign
From now on by Zach brown band
And a million dreams by pink
So glad u liked this song. Yeah, this song made me feel emotional too, but it's also impowering on top of that.
As for the movie, I'd say the story by itself wasn't my favorite but every musical number was phenomenal (the songs themselves and the visuals). The song writers did an amazing job.
The other songs u should definitely react to from this movie;
'The Greatest Show', 'A Million Dreams', 'Come Alive', 'The Other Side', 'Rewrite the Stars', and 'From Now On'
I can't listen to this song without getting goosebumps. Can't see watch this video without it.
Knox you have to react to her singing this the first time at the rehearsals. I cry everytime I watch it.
Thanks as always for breaking down the lyrics so well. Would love to see your reactions to the other songs/performances in this movie! Every one is incredible!
Such a fantastic musical... one of my favorites. Hope you watch the whole movie... totally worth it!
I freaking ADORE this song!! I was singing along with it, I remember when this movie was first annouced I watched EVERYTHING about it, got the soundtrack the second it dropped on Spotify. I absolutely recommend watching the greenlight performance of this song, and Hugh's song "From Now On". Them live are just EPIC!
If you've ever been bullied, if you've ever been made to feel less than or other, because of who you are, then this is your song.
Love your reactions (and channel in general), the way you get lyrics and break them down I don't see many other reactions which pick up as much as yours do. Always make me smile.
its a very emotional song simply because it is so powerful. Loved the reaction! please do more
Highly recommend watch this movie Knox. Promise you won't be disappointed. Great break down Knox. Love watching you branch out into different music.
Oh my god this is so spooky. I literally just came home after watching my sisters do a ballet concert based on this, great video as always
This song always gets me teary-eyed, Im even watching ur reaction with tears in my eyes, The movie is fantastic, always loving ur reactions❤
Love this movie! Every song is so emotionally charged. Would definitely love to see you react to all the other songs. Another great currentish musical to check out is "Dear Evan Hansen" the music is phenomenal, it couldn't have a better message & Ben Platts voice is just amazing. The song "Waving through a Window" is the absolute best. The musical SIX also has to die for music and its historical so double the fun.
Not coincidentally, Benj Pasek & Justin Paul wrote the music to both Dear Evan Hansen and The Greatest Showman. They're amazing songwriters. Justin's playing the piano in the greenlight video of this song.
Sticks and stones can break bones. Words can break hearts. Be kind, always.
I’m so glad someone alright mentioned the green light performances (there are two). Absolutely shattering.
I also find myself listening to this soundtrack on full at least a few times a month when I just want to feel something.
This one is my absolute favourite, and it always makes me emotional, it's such a powerful song. Both the movie version or the rehearsals are a must. I love it! Another song I adore is 'From Now On', almost at the end of the movie before the reprise of 'This is the Greatest show', mostly because of the all ensemble, it's so good, it gives me chills. Then you have 'A Million Dreams' by both young and older version of Barnum and his wife. I disapprove of the real Barnum, but I simply love this musical
this whole soundtrack is a bop. please do more of this. The movie is good too. Worth a watch if you find the time.
This song gives me chills every time I hear it. Great reaction and way to pick up on the little details that provide context
The whole soundtrack for the greatest showman is perfection. I would love to see your reaction to the whole thing!
Happy Saturday! Thank you for diving more into films/musicals like this 💜
Song is a spectacular visual with such a powerful message underneath. Fantastically sung and as always well broken down Knox 🔥🙏
The song is made even more powerful when you know that it was written from someone's personal experience of feeling isolated and ostracised...
Benj Pasek (the co-writer of the song): "For myself, I was a closeted gay man who as a teenager felt like the world was inundating me with messages that you’re not good enough or you’re unlovable, and what has been amazing about this song in particular is you realize the thing that feels like your own private struggle is something that other people relate to when you begin to put it into words. When you’re huddled in the dark and think you’re alone, you begin to shine a little bit of light into this place and you realize other people are huddled there, too."
Great song. The movie is definitely worth a watch. I got teary watching this too; I wish I was that brave.
I'm waiting for your reaction to Ren's collaborations with Eden Nash, especially "Humble" and "Ocean". To me, they are Ren in yet another lane. Both have cool lyric videos.😊
Knox, you are such an intuitive individual. I know you don't know me, but you've become the friend I never call. I want to lift you up so I'm making a commitment to go back and watch as much of you as I can. Much love, my friend.
I’m gonna need more greatest showman reactions 🙌🏼😍
That’s one of my favourite movies. Great story, amazing music. Glad to see you cover it. And you’re right, that song tugs the heartstrings the real way lol
That entire movie was powerful. If you haven't spent the time to see it, you owe it to yourself. All of the music is fantastic. Hugh Jackman worked so hard, for so long to make this movie a reality. There's a behind-the-scenes of them doing this song on CZcams and Hugh breaks into tears as the bearded lady sings the lead.
Witnessing the pride of people who have been shamed and hidden for centuries is so beautiful. It's very relevant today.
This is such a beautiful movie. The message and the music really cut deep. It’s not just a fun kids musical, this is for anyone who may feel cast out or ostracized for their differences. It’s an Anthem. This movie mainly follows P.T. Barnum, who was a real person, who sensationalized “Freaks” and people who were different and gave them jobs and a place to perform for money- so, yes, exactly. A circus. In real life he was an abusive asshole to many of his performers and conditions he made them live in was horrendous, but for the sake of the film, he’s shown as a bit of a saint. It’s not wholly about him though it’s about the individuality of these characters and how they were able to rise up against criticism and come out of their shells despite all the backlash they got. I highly recommend this movie, it’s got a great cast line up as well. Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams, Zendaya, Zack Efferon, etc.
This song hit me really hard when me and my family first watched because my son was being bullied in early elementary school and this song kinda helped all of us encourage him and give him strength to be proud of just being who is and not conforming to fit in the crowd at school. But other songs you have to check out from the movie is the one with Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron
You should definitely watch this movie, the songs are great and also the acting and the storyline is amazing, I love it soo much.
Down for more greatest showman analysis! All the songs are incredibly written and all have different meanings
I loved your Hamilton reactions, so seeing this makes me so excited. I really hope you will react to all the songs. They are all incredible & will tug on your heart strings ❤
This is one of my favorite movies with some of the best music--you should definitely watch the whole thing
I have cerebral palsy in my right arm and right leg so when I first heard this song I immediately connected with it. I love the song so much means a lot to me
When my nephew left primary school the leavers did a play and sung this it was the best version I've ever heard. You should do From Now On from the same film and also Never Enough and of course The Greatest Show
YYYEEEESSSS!!!! DUUUUDDDEE!!! BRAH! You get it!!!!! No matter howany time I hear this particular song ( over 1K X) or see the film (29X) I not only tear up in pride and self affirmation, but I STILL get goosebumps due the sheer empowerment of the lyrics. And no matter where I am at in public, if this tune played on any one of my favorite stations on Pandora, I am loudly belting this song even if I still have my earbuds in. IDGAF!!!.
The Other Side was the first song to blow me away in the movie because the song itself is a negotiation and it's tone shifts based on how it is going.
Also, that bartender completely stole the show from Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron ❤️❤️
The song Come Alive from that movie is amazing. Our family went through a crazy hurricane and we played this loud and danced and singed to drown out the noise :)
I cried when I saw the movie. This song, her voice is so powerful. You can feel every emotions to the song. I cried big time. I remember when I was being bullied at school and I surpassed it. Idk. That's how I feel when I listen to this song.
I love every song from this movie so much. I especially love the production behind Come Alive. But my favorite song is Tightrope. It’s not the most impressive one but I just love it!
Yes please do more from this show!!! Love it so much, one of my favourites is "the other side". ❤
AMAZING movie. Do yourself a favor and watch it.
Also give some love to Lauren Allred for her part in providing the vocals for "Never Enough". She is STELLAR!!!!
Well now you gotta watch the whole thing 😂 I will say that it was a film meant for the cinema! Especially that opening scene. So cool!
Gotta say, brother, I love your analysis of lyrics and the power of music. I've only watched a couple of your reactions but feel you were spot on! I've subscribed! If you need suggestions, I've got plenty! ;)
you are so smart, Ive seen you break down so many different types of songs and lyrics..its amazing, and you are so eloquent about it. you should think about watching the movie thou its really good:)
I love this and i had the same reaction when i firsst heard it. It got me right in the chest. Also there is a greenlight performance. She was so scared and it was the first time she sang the song infront of anyone other than the cast. It really is an amazing performance. The film is great too.
Your reaction was very insightful, and it’s alright to get emotional when hearing it. Believe me, this song is one that resonates with me the most. I was hit by a car when I was 12, and I’ve had 36 surgeries. I have a leg deformity that has made me feel extremely self conscious at times, yet I swam on my High school swim team and lettered 3 years. I have to dig deep at times to face my current disability, but songs like this give me hope and strength to carry on.
This song ALWAYS brings tear first few notes then those lyrics bring the waterfalls...🥰🥰😭
Love that you continue to expand and check out new things. Enjoyed this a lot thanks!
Every single song from this movie is 10/10.
"stones and branches can hurt me, but your words can't"
A stone hits you, you might get stitches; a branch might cause a bruise or wound but it heals. A word said several times hurts the heart, and it doesn't heal that easy (if it does).
Imperfections made perfection
I highly recommend you watch the whole movie. There are a lot of great songs and the message on each one is a masterpiece. The movie itself is very emotional to me, such great lessons to acquire.
It’s a song you didn’t know you needed to hear.
I’m also on board with listening to the greenlight version, I still cry watching it.
I love the way you feel the music and the lyrics, you’re a true musician Knox ❤
thank you for giving me a reason to revisit "this is me" during pride month of all times!! gorgeous song, so uplifting and feels very fitting. as a member of the lgbtqiap+ community and also as an autistic person with adhd this song hits on multiple levels
The Greatest Showman is a (very) fictionalized story of P T Barnum which is why it is set in and around a circus. I saw it the week it opened on the big screen, and it was incredible. Every song and performance was amazing. In the opening number even the horses prance to the music. Definitely worth seeing
You REALLY need to react to more songs from the greatest showman. You have no idea how much you missed out on. It’s the first classic movie with classic characters and songs in over a DECADE. You HAVE to check out from now on and all the other incredible songs. You’re going to LOVE it.
