Keala Settle Belted Out "This Is Me" So Loudly at the Oscars, She Was Moved to Tears

There's no doubt about it: "This Is Me" from The Greatest Showman [1] is the epitome of the word "anthem." And no one knows that better than Keala Settle, the Broadway actress known for her roles in Waitress and Les Misérables who broke down in tears during a powerful rendition of the song on stage at the Oscars. She belted out the superemotional tune in front of a dozen background singers from all walks of life — and it's safe to say she totally knocked it out of the park. According to her colleagues' Twitter accounts, they couldn't agree more:

I have sang out, screamed out and done full choreo from the wings...I'm so proud of you @kealasettle [2] YOU KILLED THAT!!!!!!!!!!
