I don't think I have ever seen such an unselfish preformer. Like, you're the star and you're highlighting the backup singer? I cried.

[Blueeboi]

Cynthia and backup singer killed it! Not many can reach the climax of this song without screaming, she did it flawlessly

[janettyler]

Loved the fact that Cynthia shared the spotlight with the amazing Phebe Edwards singing background vocals. She wanted everyone to realize how amazing Phebe is. What a generous and kind artist. So proud and honored to be able to see and hear this stunning performance by these 2 very blessed singers.

This is not a song, it's a sermon....and it is OUTSTANDING

It's 2:43am in the morning and I am listening to all of Cynthia Erivo music and it's fabulous, her voice is just like butter.

This is literally the most balanced performance of this song I've ever seen. The entire accompaniment, the back up and the lead. The clarity of those high notes 😍. Balanced, with the right amount of expression to drive the emotions of the piece home.

Phebe Edwards (the backing vocal) is just amazing. She worked with Jessie J for many years. Since then, I've been following her 💜

[calendarbaby]

At this point, she’s got a pile of my wigs just sitting on her doorstep. This woman GIVES EVERYTHING

[LonelyPrince]

RIP Cissy Houston 🙏
She’s the original backing singer for this song.

Let's be real who isn't watching this masterpiece again?!

Effortlessly beautiful but Cynthia looking at the sister singing high and them keeping eye contact was like an unspoken conversation like go girl ❤

[goddessthyme]

The connection between her and that backup singer... CHILLS😍 so beautiful

[alfarizait]

No comment for this perfomance ANYMORE. She never failed to bring the soul, the technique of her singing. Not every "skilled" singer can deliver this difficult song perfectly, but she did. I'm amazed how Cyhthia appreciates the wonderful backing vocalists up there. Pure talent, pure soul.

I didn’t realize I could be crying while simultaneously givin full on stank face. She did that!!! 😭🙌🏻🔥

[jinx]

Goosebumps!! The clarity in her voice always gets me.

[lindagibson]

Cynthia and her backup singers did that!! Made Aretha proud.❤️🔥🔥🔥🎶

[monicafusilier]

I love the way she acknowledged and honored her background vocalists. Classy!!

[mrcloudiesbestfriend]

No joke, I think this is in line with the best performances of all time. It’s quite literally an absolute perfect piece of music, and in my opinion is not only the best performance of this song, but again, one of the best performances of all time.

[latifahjenkins]

That backup singer was flawless and Cynthia is just timeless but that backup singer was holding that note .

[channingsmith]

It’s the way Cynthia Erivo stands there almost completely still and belts out an incredibly run like it is…NOTHING!!! God, I love this woman. I almost threw my shoe at her. I could’ve never been in person for this, I would not know how to act😂😂😂
