What i love about Cynthia is that when she sings i believe her. She doesn't oversing, she's not trying to impress. She's conveys emotion so well.

[ellenlyons]

I didn’t think anyone would ever sing this as well as Gladys Knight but this comes close. Brilliant.

[shinrin-yoku]

I want her to sing all my favorite songs 🕊️

[FKotun]

Would be great if she could do an album of classic songs. She's Special. Her unique interpretation of songs is amazing.

[beverlyhintzen]

Midnight train to Georgia still belongs to Gladys. Heard many versions, but hers still wins, hands down!

[ibcrazysoufboi]

She could sing the ABC's and it would be magical.

[Spaniel]

Her diction is excellent and through it she tells the story. Excellent artist! ❤️💯

All the way from Republic of South Africa, i will always love her music. Cynthia is a very excellent singer

[ramonakemp]

I love how she makes the songs her own. And she doesn't over sing the songs. Beautiful.. Love you Ms. Erivo❤❤

[lukethomas]

I love her take on this song. Just the right mix of interpretation with respect to Gladys Knight and the Pips.

[charlesdavis]

That's how you do a cover; put your own voice into it without altering it's originality.

[wickyhendy]

Brilliant! This song has many souls and she has addressed them all, and has paid tribute..may that midnight train never stop!

[barbarathomas]

Very very few people can sing this song with soul & do it justice. She does ❤️👏

[fleeceshawl]

I love her take of the song. She has got such a smooth voice and I love her intonations. It feels like it is soft rain on my window. Gladys thanks for this song ma’am and this lady respected it and you.

[janetpartyka]

She tells a story as she sings and at the end she recognizes everyone including the audience, singers, maestro, and orchestra. Beautiful.

[macmen]

Gladys Knight was an exceptional talent.

"All the way from Bavaria/ Germany, danke gaal, das ist Geil; WOW!!

[ocanica]

I love Gladys and the Pips and no one comes close but this rendition is beautiful and tasteful, not overdone. She and the entire orchestra made it their own, well done!

[alanpease]

Cynthia has a way of making anything she sings her very own. There is no imitation of the classic here but a new and refreshing version. Add in the orchestra and the background singers and you have a new classic. She even thanked each one of the background singers by name. Wow!
