Every time I watch this, the guy in blue blazer behind Cynthia cracks me up - you can tell he just wants to flip his shit at her vocals in an environment where it's pretty much forbidden to

Whenever Cynthia opens her mouth it’s like my soul just jumps out of me, and leaves my physical body laying on the floor. Not only is her voice incredible, but her presence just demands that you zone in only on her. She is one of the best artists that I have ever heard in my entire life, and no one will ever demand a stage, crowd, or small group like this the way Cynthia Erivo does. She is just

who had the absolute audacity to change the "say that it's possible" harmony. i will call the police right now

I get that people are upset with Zendaya being cast over Cynthia. But you need to take into account the fact that Cynthia was never officially attached to the role. Singers often do favours to composers when they’re workshopping songs/lyrics/etc, plus at the time TGS was finally gaining real traction, Cynthia was doing The Color Purple on Broadway and had committed to Steve McQueen’s “Widows”, so she wouldn’t have been available when TGS went into production.

I always knew Justin had a knack for writing and composing music...
BUT HE IS ONE GOOD SINGER.

[jik_bow]

It's 2024 and this video aged well. Cynthia did get her role. Read a few of the comments, i guess it's a win for broadway.

Watching blue jacket get more and more convnced was fun, especially when his hands went to his lips then his eyebrows hit the ceiling. I was rolling!

[pureffm]

Imagine you're a composer and you sing as well as your best cast member?

[Kingiwingi]

Why wasn't this insanely talented actress picked as Nala in Lion King movie... She would have nailed it!

[paola]

The guy in the back was feeling this song. You could tell how shocked he was when she hit those notes. Love this!!

[marcelarcaya]

Cynthia Erivo warms my heart. Her talent speaks volumes to me.

[nicolesalmon]

I love how dude over Cynthia's shoulder eyebrows shot up at the 2:45 mark.

[kookiemonster]

When I tell you if they a make a broadway version of this movie they BETTER have my girl Cynthia and my boy Jeramy in the cast

[sophietimman]

I have said it so many times and I'll say it every day: Cynthia Erivo is THE GREATEST singer of her generation
