They slept on her but theatre and her films....people know Cyn!!!! ...Audra is an amazing singer also but I bet many only know her from Pvt practice in ABC...lol
You're so right! It's great when someone has the aural chops that she has, but it's even 'mo betta' when she brings her visual stage presence along with it.
After hearing how flawlessly she delivered those two EWF classics, I would love her to do complete covers of those songs on an album. Did you see the way David Foster was looking at her at the end of the show? I feel he wants to write for her. Would love to see what comes out of such a colaboration.
this is like 100th times i played this clip and i am not thinking of stopping in the near future!!!! everyone on the stage (and the composer as well) deserve huge applause
I'm grateful the world is waking up to Cynthia Erivo thru Elphaba. Cynthia only needs an Oscar to complete her E.G.O.T. She should have won one for Harriet Tubman. But this beautiful, talented lady is perfection.
Cynthia Erivo continues to prove herself as a masterclass vocalist and force of artistic excellence - from the treatment of the craft to the delivery of a truly stellar performance. The effortlessness and grace with which she takes you on a musical journey truly reflects the dedication, passion and grounded footing that all artists should have, or at the very least aspire to have. Truly, an amazing performance.
This performance saved my quarentine times. 2020 has been such a tough year, but I still believe in good things and that God has it all under control. Keep safe guys, body, mind and soul.
This entire performance is pure bliss. Her vocals, her interpretation, the absolute pleasure and joy in her face as she sings, the band and backup vocals…good God! I wish there were full covers of both of these songs.
This was beautiful! Her presence is pure elegance, the band supporting her, the backing singers, everything was beautiful, and that high note at the end gave me chills!
I love her voice. I first saw her in a movie where all these interesting people checked into a hotel. She would sing in her room. Anyone else see that movie? I forget the name. It was a good movie.
that movie was the first time I got introduced to her and I was immediately mesmerized by her voice. For me, this performance is confirmation that she is a star indeed.
Every man has a place, in his heart, there's a space And the world can't erase his fantasies Take a ride in the sky, on our ship, Fantasii All your dreams will come true, right away And we will live together, until the twelfth of never Our voices will ring forever, as one Come to see, victory in a land called, "Fantasty" Loving life, for you and me, to behold, to your soul is ecstasy As you stay for the play, fantasy has in store for you A glowing light will see you through It's your day, shining day, all your dreams come true Now, I'm craving your body Is this real? Temperatures rising I don't want to feel I'm in the wrong place to be real Whoa, when I'm longing to love you Just for a night Kissing and hugging And holding you tight Please let me love you With all my might Reasons The reasons that we're here The reasons that we fear Our feelings won't disappear Oooh, and after the love game Has been played All our illusions Were just a parade And all our reasons start to fade All our reasons why (All our reasons were a lie) All our reasons were a lie (After all our reasons) (Love was left aside) Love was left aside I'm longing to love you For one night
I truly believe that Cynthia will win an Oscar someday either as an actress or as a songwriter. She will join the elite recipients of EGOT .... . P. S CYNTHIA HAS A GRAMMY, TONY AND EMMY...ONLY OSCAR IS MISSING. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE AND TALENTED WOMAN!
Every time I watch this, I feel like liking it and then always realise I already did long ago. Great work Cynthia Erivo, very disciplined band, overall, great music, easy to listen to!
I watch this at least 5 times a week and it puts me into a much better mood. Cynthia is sublime and the songs are just beautiful and soulful and and and....🔥
Damn what the heck she is a force to be reckoned with, her voice so calm, natural and rises at the right moments. Love her! And love her work on The Outsider!!!!!!!
Notice the walk up to the mic stand and the spin at the beginning, Cynthia already knew she was about to slay this, there was no question
She slayed the song❤❤
Perfection 🎉
She slays everything! Yes she knew! ❤
EXACTLY 💯👑🌹👑💪🏾💜🔥🔥🔥
No one has mentioned how good the band is. Vocals, band, back ground singers all compliment each other...smooth, sophisticated performance.
Percussion and horn section were clean! Lead singers voice cant hang with this band, unfortunately.
The Band indeed! What a great sound. The background singers are fantastic!
Yesss! A wonderful overall tribute.
@@ecclairmayo4153 What nonsense are you talking?
And know one mentioned the sound engineer behide and the whole team in it
Yes dress
Yes vocal
Yes presence
Yes class
Yes delivery
Yes Kween 💕
Yes I'm in Agreement!
Masonic dress
Masonic presence
No class
Amen Jijo Mathew !
Well said ........pure class
Like African Americans NO huh!
I cannot believe people just started to know Cynthia after the wicked?! I was like I’ve known her because of her tributes
They slept on her but theatre and her films....people know Cyn!!!! ...Audra is an amazing singer also but I bet many only know her from Pvt practice in ABC...lol
So true!
I love how she didn't over do anything it was simply perfect
Thought exactly the same thing
I do wish she gave a nice sassy growl or two, a lil squal sprinkled here and there... but yeah this was tasteful and smooth overall.
Her voice and song choice brought me here the first time. Then her strong performance in Wicked brought me back here again! Give her the Oscar!
Yep
I agree 💗
I love that she served it straight up. No overdoing it. Her voice as smooth as butter. Got me hungry!
LMAOOO NOT HUNGRY 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes her voice cut like butter. I agree.
I'm glad she didn't over do it with the runs too. I HATE THAT! Sing the song, enunciate and stop the theatrics.
@@annisaarthur-castro6227 couldn’t have said it better
PLEASEE NOT HUNGRYYY😭😭😭
to me, she currently has the best and most powerful voice right now. insane natural talent.
Cynthia could cover literally any song and I’d be obsessed. What a Queen
Cynthia is such a classy lady!!
She could sing the phone book and I'd love it! Such a talent.
Mannnnn, she could sing the Alphabet and the Barney song and I'd be obsessed with her voice!!
Diva
Effortless 👏👏
I really love that she hit that spin before she started singing lol
You're so right! It's great when someone has the aural chops that she has, but it's even 'mo betta' when she brings her visual stage presence along with it.
Me too lol!!
Right!!!! 😍
I lived!!!
Show
I need a full version of Reasons from her 👏👏👏
me too!!
FACTS
Same here
absolutely
Yes!!! 💜
Impressed by the softness and power of her voice. She slayed this tribute!!!
Yes indeed, beautifully done
Cynthia Erivo never disappoints, she’s a force to be recognized. Pure beauty, class and timeless. This IS artistry at it’s finest❤️
YES!!!!!!! Love her!
Broadway star, Academy-Award nominee, and hell of a singer!
After hearing how flawlessly she delivered those two EWF classics, I would love her to do complete covers of those songs on an album. Did you see the way David Foster was looking at her at the end of the show? I feel he wants to write for her. Would love to see what comes out of such a colaboration.
Agree beautiful classy
OMG! She is amazing! The smile on Philip's face says it all!
that walk up to the mic and spin was so instantly iconic. her aura is unmatched.
She is a true diva of this generation: the voice and the glamour. Classy!
On point!! Yes she is Love the fact that she doesn’t need all the craziness in her voice. Pure, wonderful and rich singing
When she did that spin I knew she was ready!
This was the video that made me fall in love in Cynthia's voice. Glad she's getting great feedback for her performance in Wicked.
I don't care about the price of tickets, I'll be in the front row to see her perform live. She's in her own league. Classy👏
Agreed, "her own league."
That's true...own league it is!!!
I'll be right there with you!!
I've waited my whole life, apparently, to hear Cynthia Erivo sing Fantasy. The whole thing is just amazing!
Cynthia is so phenomenal, and I love how perfect her afrofuturistic look is for honoring Earth Wind and Fire!!
I love the musical arrangements, and the band and back-up singers, absolutely fabulous!
Agreed!
Percussion and horn section was clean. The lead singers voice just isnt strong enough to hang with this band.
Mr Foster band!
EcClair Mayo are you referring to Cynthia?
You are right Bro but the versión of Jhon legend Is really amazing.......the bass player Is really awesome
Love that she made it her own without going overboard. All class.
Being black and to experience black culture is a blessing
The way she walks to the mic stand... Classy, elegant.
Everybody in the audience: OOH SHIT THATS MY SONG!!
No liess told 😭😭😭😭
Lol right!
😁😁😁
girl those was cookout songs for me. especially reasons!! that’s why soon as i saw this video i had to hear how she did n she did not disappoint.
this is like 100th times i played this clip and i am not thinking of stopping in the near future!!!! everyone on the stage (and the composer as well) deserve huge applause
Agreed! Even I forgot how many times I played, so eargasm.
hard same
I was not familiar with Cynthia Erivo until this performance. I am a huge fan now! She has a STUNNING voice!
Yes, same here. So glad I discovered her
I'm grateful the world is waking up to Cynthia Erivo thru Elphaba. Cynthia only needs an Oscar to complete her E.G.O.T. She should have won one for Harriet Tubman. But this beautiful, talented lady is perfection.
Cynthia's vocal range is amazing!
And that band
This lady deserves million views. She owns the stage and she spiced up this performance in her own magical voice. Truly amazing
Now, this is how you give tribute.
Very nice vocal quality and healthy technique.
i would cry if i see her perform live. i hope i do GODDD
Same 😭
I live under a rock and had no idea who she was. I do now! I enjoyed this very much!
First i'm hearing of her too.
😊 I didn't know either 🙃🙃 but after this awesome maybe perfect performance, I know now, too.
You should look up her singing I'm Here from the Color Purple musical. Insane
Cynthia Erivo continues to prove herself as a masterclass vocalist and force of artistic excellence - from the treatment of the craft to the delivery of a truly stellar performance. The effortlessness and grace with which she takes you on a musical journey truly reflects the dedication, passion and grounded footing that all artists should have, or at the very least aspire to have. Truly, an amazing performance.
Jocelyn Carter: This lady is so talented! Cynthia did a good job hitting that high note in the song Reasons!
This was the best EWF tribute ever. Cynthia nailed it. Philip had a big smile on his face when she performed Reasons. Job well done. 😊
This performance saved my quarentine times. 2020 has been such a tough year, but I still believe in good things and that God has it all under control. Keep safe guys, body, mind and soul.
This entire performance is pure bliss. Her vocals, her interpretation, the absolute pleasure and joy in her face as she sings, the band and backup vocals…good God! I wish there were full covers of both of these songs.
Her voice is undeniable yet her fashion in her live performances are always exquisite!
Saaay it Keeng !
I hope she have a full song version of Reasons. Her voice is perfect for that song.
My first time hearing this sister... I think I'm in love.
Linda maravilhosa
Cynthia Erivo. Search I'm Here from the Color Purple, and Stand Up, from the movie Harriet Oscars 2020.
You're an Akata to her!
@@rahlohmcdonogh4855 u guys r so sensitive 💀
Wonderful to hear a singer who actually sings a song and doesn't murder it with "runs". The sign of true talent xx
As soon as I heard that voice, I just didn’t want it to stop singing.
1:32 I'm like that man when she started Reasons. So good! 💜
That's Brian McNight, a great singer (and fan of Earth, Wind and Fire) - I loved his reactions throughout these performances, so adorable!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@liviusss Not only did you spell his name wrong, but you also got the face wrong😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She makes the Earth Wind & Fire song looks so easy! she is somebody to be recognized powerful voice🙏🙏👏👏👏
This was beautiful! Her presence is pure elegance, the band supporting her, the backing singers, everything was beautiful, and that high note at the end gave me chills!
I love her voice. I first saw her in a movie where all these interesting people checked into a hotel. She would sing in her room. Anyone else see that movie? I forget the name. It was a good movie.
Bad times at the El Royale. I just watched it and heard her sing for the first time which brought me here. I am now in love. Her voice is amazing.
Her voice is awesome & blessed. Omg ❤️it. 👏🏿👏🏼👏🏾👏👏🏽
She’s also a Broadway star you guys should check her out
Harriet
that movie was the first time I got introduced to her and I was immediately mesmerized by her voice. For me, this performance is confirmation that she is a star indeed.
They have to bring in a goddess to sing Reasons cause no mortal can sing that song and give justice to it.
Her voice is smooth as silk... I so love Cynthia Erivo!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
And I was envious of her gorgeous skin and the way she moves! She’s the whole package.
true that!
That's the 1000 th time I am listening Fantasy from Queen, a.k.a Cynthia! It is even better than the original! Pure art!!
Love this! Cynthia nailed the voices and their style of outfits. Her performance reminded me of the EWF concerts back in the day.
Every man has a place, in his heart, there's a space
And the world can't erase his fantasies
Take a ride in the sky, on our ship, Fantasii
All your dreams will come true, right away
And we will live together, until the twelfth of never
Our voices will ring forever, as one
Come to see, victory in a land called, "Fantasty"
Loving life, for you and me, to behold, to your soul is ecstasy
As you stay for the play, fantasy has in store for you
A glowing light will see you through
It's your day, shining day, all your dreams come true
Now, I'm craving your body
Is this real?
Temperatures rising
I don't want to feel
I'm in the wrong place to be real
Whoa, when I'm longing to love you
Just for a night
Kissing and hugging
And holding you tight
Please let me love you
With all my might
Reasons
The reasons that we're here
The reasons that we fear
Our feelings won't disappear
Oooh, and after the love game
Has been played
All our illusions
Were just a parade
And all our reasons start to fade
All our reasons why
(All our reasons were a lie)
All our reasons were a lie
(After all our reasons)
(Love was left aside)
Love was left aside
I'm longing to love you
For one night
thanks for the lyrics ✨
Me: Perfect voice doesn´t exist
Cythia Erivo: Hold my voice
I keep coming back to this rendition for a year now. I am a fan, Cynthia.
She has a very nice voice. Effortless singing!!
I have to see Cynthia sing live before I die. Until then, I won’t die.
This woman was an absolute FORCE
How did I live this long without knowing about Cynthia Erivo. Good Lord....
This performance stopped me in my tracks. She is class personified absolutely beautiful and a voice that I have never heard before. Just incredible
Listen to the album The Color Purple(2015 Broadway Cast Recording) and tell me what you think. She will not disappoint!
Same here. Haven' heard a crystal voice as Cynthia's. Omg. Blessed.
Ms. Erivo's performance was beyond classy. Her entire persona was absolute perfection.

Me2😊
EW&F's chords was all out of this world

Flawless. Everything. Vocals, backing vocals,and musicians. Earth Wind and Fire is not easy to cover. Nicely done
There is so much clarity in her voice
Give it up for Cynthia Erivo,truly African pride and beauty.She's got a great voice too.
Congratulations 🎉my lovely sister ,,we the entire owutu community is very proud of you and your performance
Can we talk about how 2:40 - 3:11 has me feeling like I've been cutting a batch of onions? 👏👏👏
Who knew we also needed Cynthia Erivo’s version of these amazing songs? Thank you beautiful lady!
HER VOICE IS DIVINE!! How am I just now hearing about you? You sound incredible!
I watch this at least 5 times a week and it puts me into a much better mood. Cynthia is sublime and the songs are just beautiful and soulful and and and....🔥
her voice is so mesmerizing!
That reasons cover by Cynthia is just amazing. I fell in love with it. We love you Cynthia. Also we need the full version.
She looks absolutely gorgeous here. I love this look on her. I'm convinced she can sing anything.🎉❤
The band was great, the back up singers were great and Cynthia ate and left no crumbs- period! 🥰
I need an entire Earth, Wind & Fire album cover from Cynthia and that band ... this was mind blowingly good.
When talent doesn't need a G-string. This was just incredible. Like the Great Maurice White said in song "SHE SANG SO BEAUTIFUL, DON'T YOU 'GREE!"
I've listened to this song maybe around 200 times. Cynthia Erivo is AMAZING.
Damn what the heck she is a force to be reckoned with, her voice so calm, natural and rises at the right moments. Love her! And love her work on The Outsider!!!!!!!
She has a perfect voice. I really love her performance. Pretty woman
A wonderful rendition of two of my favorite earth,wind and fire classics.Phillip Bailey looks pleased.R.i.p Maurice White.!!!😎📱🌏🎶🔊🍹🎤🎧🎺🎷🎸🎹👍👍👍
