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.
That's connection. She has lived those words. It's personal. You can only get that kind of connection from experience. You can't buy it or learn it in a formal class.
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 👏🏾
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.
I’m Mexican I’ve been on that since she won American Idol she’s a beast her voice is calming but powerful I must say. All my favorite singers are black y’all are some talented ass people.
My heart is so heavy after the passing of my grandmother but this made me pause on the blessings bestowed having her for as long as I did. So many loving memories and hope extended to continue a bright tomorrow and after. Thank you for your gift... continued blessings and overcoming any challenges that may come. ♥️
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.
Fantasia is blessed with an anointed voice that touches your soul. I wish her continued success and support. She is definitely among the great icons of voices that have inspired us and given hope.
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.
I’m not American and agree, Black Americans do sing with their whole souls. Others globally try to mimic you but they can’t fake having real soul and the lived experience of your pain& glory over the centuries
@@RhenadhisI am Black and American and I agree. We also have a lot in common with our kinfolk in SA. When I visited the continent, I definitely felt a mutual understanding and respect in SA far more than I did in West Africa.
@@Rhenadhis I’m South African and get your point and agree. South Africans(especially Black and Coloured South Africans) tend to have similar experiences with Black Americans so I guess maybe that is what makes them sing like they do…think their singing is both just naturally spiritual and soulful because of traumatic experiences and their joy too can be quite intensely felt through song. So you and Original Poster have valid points
My God! My God! This song is for anyone & everyone who has OVERCOME❤ ! I felt EVERY. 👏🏾 SINGLE. 👏🏾WORD. 👏🏾TONE. 👏🏾NOTE. 👏🏾 IN. 👏🏾MY. 👏🏾SOUL! 👏🏾 Goosebumps! My God! My God. 🔥🔥🔥
She's got that down home church voice and style that will bring you to the pulpit in tears! A lot of black artists started in church choirs. Always loved Fantasia from the start and it's so pleasing to see her soaring to new heights. Well deserved! 👏👏👏
I literally stood up and clapped after this song. I legit forgot this was a cinema and I thought I was at a concert for a second. the surprisingly strong cocktail may have helped as well haha. What a masterpiece
Her voice just gets me in the gut. Such vulnerability, pain, fragility, wisdom, power, strength and hope all in one. There's so many layers to fantasias voice which can only come from the highs, ebs and lows of life experiences. You hear the little girl and strong woman in her at various points. Her ability to tap into and convey this is what makes her soooo great. It just pours out of her. That's anointing right there. She's just so talented.
Get ready! Fantasia is coming for those Oscar's & EMMY Awards🏆🏆 ! I've got goosebumps. In her voice, I hear a bit of genius from the icons ... Mahalia Jackson, Aretha Franklin, and Jennifer Holiday. She acts and sings from her soul. Get the champagne ready everyone !🍾 🎉🎉🎉
This is such a power song, it is easy to get sucked into the super theatrical versions, but Fantasia threads the needle between pure emotion and theatrical oomph. I wish this wasn't a chopped together version. The opening was so touching.
I’ve always loved the way Cynthia did this song, it feels so vulnerable and desperate when she does. But Fantasia turns it into gospel, like a divine truth is flowing out of her. Incredible, she absolutely crushed every facet of the role
This is why I voted for her on America idol, I knew and felt it she's the best. My family and friends had there cell phone and my house phone going until we got through. And it showed we all were right, the best singer
Fantasia makes me cry on songs that don’t even relate to me, but it’s something about the love and soul she puts into everything she sings. She is so anointed.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Fantasia!!! Such an amazing gift!❤❤❤ And her role in The Color Purple is priceless!! I love the movie! Love how you put this together! Thank you!
Okayyy!! My mom forgot where she was, she yelled out loud in the theater “hallelujahhhh, thank you Lord!”, my sister had to hush her…🤫 😊 that’s a testament of how well she portrayed her character… hats off to Fantasia!!!! It’s her winning season!!!!
As Fantasia said it, she sings from EXPERIENCE! That can make all of the difference. Sang Tasia!! I certainly enjoyed the movie!!! This one brought tears to my eyes in the theater!
She always tells a story every vocal that comes out of her is apart of her toughest journey. You can feel it! I think I speak for all of us when I say she brings that story out of all of us! She wasn’t just playing Celie, she was Celie and we’ve all been Celie at one point but the empowerment from her voice is something special. I’m so grateful to have gotten to experience this. Thank you God for giving her this opportunity!
😢My God...........I watched this for the first 3 minutes with no sound, and the emotion coming from her was palpable, tears began to roll down my face. Talented is not enough she is outstanding. 👏🏽👏🏽
I’m so lucky i got to witness her live on the Color Purple on Broadway. She was amazing. She made everyone in my row cry when she sang this. That Tony Award performance Gave me all the chills.
Now that is the definition of soul singing. This girl sings from the pit of her soul which is why so many of us feel her. If your like me your watching with a face full of tears she pulls it from us. Old folks would call it the anointing it’s definitely a God given gift.
Shew👏🏾🙌🏽. That woman… she not only can sing the house down… but she brings the spirit right on in the room. My family and I were balling near the end of this movie!! Amazing job of the cast and production, but Miss Fantasia did her thang!! Shew… pulled ALL the emotions
Fantasia has never been recognized for her huge talent and this proves how underrated she is as a singer. That raw, unmatched tone gave me chills! Loved her since idol!!
They can’t take their eyes (or ears) off her! Fantasia sings from the DEEPEST halls of her soul. Shes gives SO much more than a performance, listening to her is cathartic. Very few of our generation are like that.
This movie was EPIC, BEAUTIFUL, MESMERIZING and if it doesn’t win a ton of awards ITS ALL RIGGED! The cast did their part as a WHOLE! I’d watch it again. Like the feeling in this room was how it was felt and received at the theater Christmas Day. Truly an amazing performance & amazing cast! This is how you do a remake of a classic. Well done!
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!
Ok!? You and me both 🤣😂😂
Can u imagine sitting at the table read and Fantasia does her damage...and you re next???😂😂😂
Got me ugly crying for real!!!!
Taraj almost lost it😅
The way I would have been laid out!!!
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.
And that’s why I’m over here crying! You can’t help but to feel her when she sings and she did her thing in The Color Purple 😍
You're 100% right. Thanks for sharing and we'll said 👍
Absolutely!
That's connection. She has lived those words. It's personal. You can only get that kind of connection from experience. You can't buy it or learn it in a formal class.
❤
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 👏🏾
Amen!! I’m believing the same for her!!!
This
And a long time coming!
Tasia does stage work. This is not new to her. She still tours.
@@tiffanycoleman1855 correct!! I’m believing God will enlarge her territory in areas she has yet to walk in!!!
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 said the same thing… and that’s the table reading, can you imagine what rehearsal was like…..
I thought the same thing!
Taraji was too
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!
My sentiments exactly. Wow. Now I want to book a flight to see the play for myself.
Anointing has nothing to do with this....she has a great and emotive voice.
@@GarageStudio7 she’s anointed
@@kingmuze8219 No she isn't...that's not what *anointed* means.
She is anointed, and it is so in Jesus' Name.
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.

@@adrianortega2478 Lol, thank you. Happy New Year to you and your family. Have a safe year

So many loving memories and hope extended to continue a bright tomorrow and after. Thank you for your gift... continued blessings and overcoming any challenges that may come. ♥️
Absolutely
She was discovered on a nationally televised talent show btw. IJS
I pray she’s performs this at the Oscar’s
Yesss n the golden globes
yessss i really hope so...
Yesssss!!!! 👏🏽
Omg pls 😂
I will collapse
@@CMJames why?
I remember when I first heard her on American Idol, I knew she was GIFTED!!! Sing Tasia!!!!
Yes me too!!! I remembered when Paula gave her praises after singing it too! I had to go find out!
Absolutely. It was all over Simon's face every time she sang👏👏👏👏👏❤️👑🌹👑🌹
Yesss. I would’ve been so mad if she wasn’t the winner.
My kids called it early in her American Idol days. After "Summertime" it was wrap!
Yes! She's the first and only person I ever voted for
This is a table read. A TABLE READ. Mindblowing.
Sang Tasia!! Brought tears to my eyes!!❤❤❤
Mines too!
Tears flowing 😢🙏🏾💕
Same here 🥹
Me too❤❤❤❤
Mines too ❤
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.

I swear😢😢😢
In JESUS NAME AMEN!!!
AMEN!!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Look at Halle admiring Queen ‘Taisa! 🥹
The "come on sis " was EVERYTHING!👐🏾👏🏽
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♥️
I’m not American and agree, Black Americans do sing with their whole souls. Others globally try to mimic you but they can’t fake having real soul and the lived experience of your pain& glory over the centuries
There is no replicating it!! ❤️
I'm not American and partly agree, there is also South Africans(not the white ones) They also sing with everything in their bodies
@@RhenadhisI am Black and American and I agree. We also have a lot in common with our kinfolk in SA. When I visited the continent, I definitely felt a mutual understanding and respect in SA far more than I did in West Africa.

Fantasia feels every word. Believes every word. Goodness. She brings me to tears every time.
Yessss, she feels every word because she’s lived every word! Sang Tasia! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Smooth transition from rehearsal to that classic performance!! Knowing her story behind playing the character, this brought tears to my eyes!!
I could not work on this movie - I feel I would be laid out daily…. What a voice
She really sang that from her heart. This song makes me grateful and helps me count my blessings one by one. Then I give God praise!!🙌🏾🙌🏾⛪
All I Can Say Is…. MY GOD💜💜💜💜🙏
Amen 🙏🏾 Amen 🙏🏾 Amen 🙏🏾
I can't stop crying. You better sang Fantasia!!!!💜
Her voice just gets me in the gut.

I WISH FANTASIA AAAALL THE AWARDS POSSIBLE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS... LONG OVERDUE. SHE DESERVES E-VE-RY-THING!!!
It’s so moving to watch her harness, control and master the VOCAL HORSE POWER (VHP) that resides in her soul. What an amazing talent.
Chills is what I feel every time she shares her soul with this song!!🙌🏽🙏🤩🫶💞👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I cried for Cynthia Ervivo and I’m crying again for Fantastia! Tears of joy!❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I cried like a baby
Me too

I just watched the color purple in theater, it was a master piece.. a pure labor of love!
The girl had me crying I felt the spirit of God! 🥺❤️
The show was fantastic. The singing and dancing was outstanding. Made me shed tears. Fantasia sings her butt off.
They can’t take their eyes (or ears) off her! Fantasia sings from the DEEPEST halls of her soul. Shes gives SO much more than a performance, listening to her is cathartic. Very few of our generation are like that.
Lord I cry every time I hear her sing. It reverberates through my soul. ❤❤ What a beautiful Gift and Talent Fantasia!!!

❤❤❤ we love 🥰 you Fantasia. Keep pushing 🫸 Queen.
What a gift! My theater clapped at the end of this song. I'm sure many others did as well. ❤
This movie was EPIC, BEAUTIFUL, MESMERIZING and if it doesn’t win a ton of awards ITS ALL RIGGED! The cast did their part as a WHOLE! I’d watch it again. Like the feeling in this room was how it was felt and received at the theater Christmas Day. Truly an amazing performance & amazing cast! This is how you do a remake of a classic. Well done!
Her vocal quality in this movie was unreal. It was less nassel,l than normal, very forward and full. I was so impressed.
Yup. I was surprised that her voice is now much better than before.
