The control and range of her voice is amazing

She doesn’t need a Oscar 😂 She is an Oscar. If you meet her you’ve won an Oscar, keep her safe.

[OsheyBaddest]

She and the choir took them all to church whether or not they wanted to 😭🙌🏽

[shamoielmes]

When she said “I can feel it in my bones’’. Who else felt that?

[noahcegielski]

The OSCARS didn’t even deserve this performance. An Oscar is too small for what Cynthia Erivo deserves.

[iarawawa]

Her voice made me feel like the whole world went silent and it was just her singing. Such a fantastic performance. Takes my breath away everytime.

[Mimi]

I love that she didn’t overdo it. We are still blown away by her voice without being distracted to the point that we don’t take in the lyrics and message

[gregstorkwilson]

There are actors who can then there is Cynthia Erivo.

[vanovasilyan]

[amandabonitaespiritu]

Her voice, her words, her presence, the choir....there are no words. I get chills EVERYTIME!!

[alliedagher]

[shanekapierce]

The fact that she wrote this song that goes right to my lyrics just move me.

[florenciazmmp]

3 YEARS AGO AND STILL BEING THE BEST PERFORMANCE EVER OH GOD IM IN TEARS ALWAYS’VE WATCH THIS

[lovely.libra]

When she hit that high note, I was DONE!!! Mic drop 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[dominicweber]

That tone!! That ease!! She literally sounds like the recording, it’s incredible! No shake, no breath issue, no nervousness, it’s just utterly perfect. Like a diamond became sound. Soooo good

[yomama]

So we not gone talk about that high note she hit she’s amazing

[brianfraley]

That is a HARD song. Wow. She is phenomenal. Range. Tone. Connection. FLAWLESS. Very few people on the planet could do this. MASTERY!

[MHD.]

This is undoubtedly one the best performances of all time. The song is technically difficult, the words are deep and the melody is dope.

[deroiste]

“I got eyes in the back of my head, just in case I have to run” insane that in 2020 people still have to feel that way
