The most underrated song in the movie. I love Sara Bareilles, and she did a great job “reimagining” this song! ❤️

[davidanthonymanibo]

I love how Sara made it sadder and deeper. I definitely think about life deeply when I listened to it

[clt]

This version by Sara Bareilles really tugs at the heartstrings. Such a sophisticated and elegant reinterpretation of a beautiful song.

[blueferocity]

I think Sara reimagined the song with a different tempo because of the meaning of the song itself --- Tightrope ---> balancing and trusting. Balancing with a different tempo, yet trusting that it will be beautiful.

Thank you, Sara for this! ❤️

Sara Bareilles can make anything turn to gold and this was no exception. Beautiful, beautiful rendition.

[hgdellinger]

I heard the opening chords and I was captivated. Sara Bareilles works a unique and powerful magic.

I'm baffled at people who complained about Sara singing it in a different tempo. This album is called The Greatest Showman REIMAGINED. Why asked an artist to reimagine a song, just so people can listen to pretty much the same of its original version? It's bizarre. And WHY compare? Just enjoy both for what they're supposed to be. I LOVE both versions.

Both Kelly Clarkson and Sara Bareilles did so well on their reimagined covers! This album really surprised me. But when I first heard they'd be doing this without knowing the song list, I imagined Kelly doing a slightly country version of "Tightrope" and Sara doing a stripped down acoustic piano version of "Never Enough". Would've loved to hear those versions too! :P

[taylorslefttoe]

the song didn't sit well with me at first, what with the change of the beat and tempo. but it's SO sara's style, and i knew i'd eventually grow to absolutely love it, which i did.

this version ends up way sadder with the sorrowful background vocals and instruments. while the original version still sounds optimistic and hopeful while sad, sara's now full of despair and it feels almost like a wondering "what if?", a song sung by a tired, battered heart.

the dissonance near the end really got me.

[justinbetterton]

Perfect choice of artist for this remake. Her voice is perfect for this song.

[scarletpathcat]

The lilt and flow of this version of the song makes me think of a feather dropped from a great hight. Slowly falling, gently rocking back and forth in the air. A few full flips mixed in, before gently settling down on the ground.

[kywhal]

I know it’s essentially the same song with the same lyrics, but somehow, this feels as if it has a completely different meaning from the original.

[jennaenriquez]

From the piano intro, you'll know it's Sara. 😍

[Melindajane]

My husband and I will dance to this song at our wedding reception this Saturday. We were married in April, but our reception never happened. Blessed to be able to have a small reception with those we love and this song says exactly how I feel. 💕💜

[hnc_]

I had shivers???? While listening to this version and don't get me wrong the original also does it but this is just such a Sara song and I'm getting like "She Used To Be Mine" vibes and I just

[Gjitra]

honestly, never paid this much attention to this song of all songs in the movie, but now, I finally DO

[kmbmmangel]

God, this is so heartbreakingly beautiful!! Sara did an amazing job!!

[felixoktafmidza]

OMG! Sara Bareilles sing my favorite song in the movie and she nailed it!

[rredx]

It’s hard to beat the original, Michelle Williams really hit it out of the park

[qxy]

I'm crying before it even reaches the chorus.... she's just so beautiful!!!!
