Everyone in that room is so professional. I would have knocked my chair over, took a lap around the room, and had a whole praise break!

She sings from her heart. Her movements and facial expressions indicate she’s replaying events in her past while she’s singing. She feels every word. She thinks about each pitch and key to heighten the meaning of what is being said at the moment. That’s raw, unfiltered talent. No autotune, just natural vocal chords giving words expression.

The fact that she's giving that much emotion at a table read says a lot 🔥. Glad she's getting her shine. Hope this is just the first of many for her because it's well deserved 👏🏾

Tasia is anointed...she sings from the depths of her soul and is captivating. She has me in tears. Such raw emotion. Thanks for sharing!

I love how Halle was so mesmerized. Basking… studying. I would’ve paid to be just a fly on the wall during this entire production!🙌🏾🥹😭🫶🏾💛✨💜

I pray she’s performs this at the Oscar’s

This is a table read. A TABLE READ. Mindblowing.

I'm so happy that finally the world, not just black culture, but the world, gets to experience that feeling when she sings. It's angelic. She makes you feel emotions and feelings you never even realize you had. Thank you sis, just thank you.

Look at Halle admiring Queen ‘Taisa! 🥹

I'm so here for people like Fantasia whose voices can bring me to tears of joy as a result of the explosion of pure talent and emotion of their voices.

The "come on sis " was EVERYTHING!👐🏾👏🏽

[kimberlyrussell]

There's nothing like American Black folks singing...we have a power and a soulfulness that comes from within. It's unique and cannot be duplicated♥️

[gospelician]

I CAN NOT EVER KEEP THESE EYES DRY OR MY HEART FROM RACING WHEN SHE SINGS. God, do it for her. Touch her family, bless, keep, and speak through her while You give her the platform. People are listening. Have YOUR way, In Jesus' Name, Amen.

There are voices that bring you to tears.... this is one.

[ramonahaggins]

Fantasia feels every word. Believes every word. Goodness. She brings me to tears every time.

[BTalTV]

Smooth transition from rehearsal to that classic performance!! Knowing her story behind playing the character, this brought tears to my eyes!!

[andreamiller]
