At a matinée!!! We were SOBBING!!!! It was our first EVER broadway show and it will forever be in our hearts!!!

I had the pleasure of seeing her perform this when she was in it on broadway...I have never been to a performance where a standing ovation was given in the middle of a show. It went on for minutes and she just stood there...taking it all in, never breaking character. She. Is. Amazing. Thank you for this reaction❤️

Cynthia Erivo is the only singer who could make me feel so much emotion through a song and get goosebumps just by her singing even the simplest of lines.

Some of my favorite POC on Broadway (on Broadway or other): -Eva Noblezada -Lea Salonga -Rachel Ann Go (I might've spelled her name wrong) -Cynthia Erivo (of course, you already reacted to her, but there's more of her singing that you should check out. Some of my favorite covers: Still Hurting and I Can Do Better Than That from the Last Five Years, You Will Be Found from Dear Evan Hansen, and And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going from Dreamgirls) -Jennifer Hudson -Amber Riley -Alex Newell -Renee Elise Goldsberg(I think that's how you spell her last name, but she plays Angelica in Hamilton) -Philippa Soo -(I forgot her name, but she plays Peggy in the original Broadway cast of Hamilton, in my opinion, she's underrated) -(I also forgot her name, but she played Natasha in Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812. Speaking of that, can you react to Josh Groban singing Dust and Ashes from that show? You can also look up You and I from that same show) Some of my favorite covers: -Movie In My Mind sung by Eva Noblezada and Rachel Ann Go (and I believe there's another cover involving Rachel Ann Go and Lea Salonga) -I'll Give My Life For You sung by Eva Noblezada (and there's also the original one sung by Lea Salonga) -On My Own sung by Lea Salonga -Still Hurting sung by Lea Salonga -First Burn by Rachel Ann Go (and many others) -Take Me or Leave Me sung by Eva Noblezada and Shoshana Bean -Wait For Me from Hadestown sung by Eva Noblezada and the entire cast of Hadestown -Flowers sung by Eva Noblezada -Memories and I Know Where I've Been sung by Jennifer Hudson -Any song from Glee for both Amber Riley and Alex Newell (but I've heard that Amber was really good as Effie in Dreamgirls on the West End and Alex was great in Once on This Island) -For the Longest Time sung by Renee Elise Goldsberg, Philippa Soo, and Peggy (because I forgot her name, lol)

Just found this channel because I'm looking for a community to be inspired to get back into theater for fun and, possibly, for a career change. I know it's something I've always wanted to do with my life, but it's hard when you don't see roles for BIPOC. In The Heights did that for me and I think I may have a shot at that or Hamilton in the future. I need to get back into classes after my ten year performing hiatus. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for writing it out. Rant over. LOL

Cynthia Erivo's voice is a gift from the gods. She will transport you to another world every time. She was Aretha and her voice took you there. In"The Color Purple" she you wept when she sang. The beauty of her voice allows you to feel every emotion of her character and identify those same feelings within you.

Cynthia Erivo is magical. I saw her perform this live on Broadway in 2016, which was my introduction to her. Incredible tears. During this particular performance, she had a cold and a fever over 100, had already performed the song live twice on Broadway that day, and was training for a half marathon 3 hours per day. Just Incredible 💜💜💜💜

I just watched this again after your reaction to Demi Lovato's Dancing with the Devil and now I understood your reaction to when she sang "I've got my Sister..." part and why you paused it. I hope that better days will come for you soon, Hannah. May comfort and peace be with you always! 🙏

Also, I'm crying right there with ya Hannah.

By far, Cynthia Erivo is one of my most favorite singers and performers of recent years!! Just on technique alone, she's so so secure with her instrument and she knows her voice so well. But technique aside, she knows exactly what story to tell in everything I've seen her sing and she tells it with such conviction and such honesty. She's one of those performers that connects so easily to whoever listens. AND I LOVE how you highlighted, in my opinion, the most important line in the song and see how important the message of this song is. "I believe I have inside of me, everything that I need to live a BOUNTIFUL life." Cynthia just nails the delivery of this line so perfectly. I remember first watching this performance bawling my eyes out. I'm right there with you. I just found your channel but I'm looking forward to more reaction videos featuring POC!

I'm crying in almost every video you post! Music really strikes a chord in my heart. Love it. I love your channel.

if I'm not mistaken she also had a fever at this performance which makes it even more incredible! her talent is out of this world!

I love Cynthia so much! She was recently in Stephen King's The Outsider on HBO, and she was she best part. I believe she can do no wrong artistically.

Patina Miller in Pippin and Sister Act. Rema Webb is a Broadway Veteran and in a bunch of featured ensemble roles on Broadway but she has an amazing instrument. She did the Tony performance of Violet and was one of the 3 church ladies in Color Purple. My fellow CCM MT schoolmate Alysha Deslorieux was in Hamilton and Once On This Island and has an unbelievable voice. There are some videos of her available. Also there are a bunch of incredible Black Understudies and Replacements on Broadway including Aisha Jackson as Anna in Frozen, Britney Johnson as Galinda in Wicked, and Ashley De La Rosa as Regina George in Mean Girls

Aah I've been hoping you'll do this!! I think I've watched her various performances of this song about 300 times.

Blessed and grateful to have heard Cynthia sing this live during the revival of the Color Purple on Broadway. Literally had chills from the performance.

Denee Benton and Audra McDonald are both INCREDIBLE choices! Also, Eva and Phillipa. WAIT WHAT IF YOUR REVIEWED FIRST BURN!!?! That has so many talented women of LOTS of backgrounds

Please make a reaction to a young, very popular singer in world. Videos from this singer collect hundreds of millions of views. Diana Ankudinova is now only 17 years old. She has a very unique, very deep, clear voice. Dr. Marc Reynolds (Voice Teacher, Stage Director, Performance Coach and Consultant, and Acting Coach) said about the performance of this girl: Really really exceptional! Even if you ignore her age, even is she was 10, 20, 30 years older, this is still a really exceptional performer here that we're seeing. But at her age, unbelievable. Really really exceptional!
