Triple threat: singing, signing, and being adorable.

[joannariemer]

the fact this video is over 6 years old... and it still slaps as hard as it did then

[marinalebowich]

Fun fact about Austin: He wasn't planning on being an actor. He actually started at def west as an interpreter and ended up getting cast.

[hpppmajorfan]

I love the look he gets when singing in falsetto, he always looks so cheeky, so "What I didn't know I could do this wat?"

[shamidkpzd]

His falsetto sounds so effortless. Like stop it. Ugh.

[TinaOe]

i'm always astounded by his ability to sign and sing at the same time and make it look SO flawless & easy

[Jilly_Neutron]

I love how when he talks he is such a typical interpreter with his very close signing box and consistent rhythm. When he sings, though, man does he let it all go.

[e-linamarie]

casual reminder that this bean didn't study musical theater, singing, or acting to any extent. he had basically no experience in the musical theater world before spring awakening.

[pureawesomeize]

The amount of times I've watched this should be a world record or something.

[Skyhmia]

Wow. I knew he could sing but had not idea he was that talented. That was incredible. And though I don't speak ASL, the signing was mesmerising! Wow!

[mcseforsale]

My daughter is deaf and has received a cochlear implant. We're really pushing ASL, so that she has the choice. Thank you for doing this.

[tooftooftoof]

I always admire people who can sign whilst singing, I can't multitask to save my life

[jonathankonicki]

As someone who has been signing their entire life and singing for years, I still can't sign and sing at the same time smoothly. Asl is so different from English that talking and signing at the same time is almost impossible to do while maintaining proper grammar in both languages. I have so much respect for this man and this performance 🙌🙌🙌

[pureawesomeize]

Im watching this again for the 5th time today- wow someone help me with my obsession with Austin McKenzie

[anrina]

Blown away by this kid. Where did he come from?! Just saw him as Melchior today and and all I can say is "bejeezus"... wow.

[brianaruiz]

i've been watching this for three weeks

[juliawitty]

I can't begin to express how many times I've watched this

[ganiisness]

I am so obsessed with this cover. There is so much rawness and emotion in his voice. I am also loving the ASL

[madigames]

Here again I’m 2022 to say how much I loved how Austin McKenzie sing this song 🥰

[amyrissolo]

that was one of the best vocals I have EVER heard.
