She almost became an EGOT (someone who has won and Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) but she didn't win either of the Oscar she was nominated for this past awards season and became one of 16 people to ever do that, yet she is super underrated and somewhat unknown which is saddening.
I was showing this to a friend and telling him, that I bet she was sick. Not because she didn’t SLAYED, but because as a singer myself, I can hear her nose is a little clogged and stuffy. But this gorgeous woman is such a great technician and singer, that this was still flawless. A true singer always pulls through!!! Ughh that openness and beautiful vowels!!! BRAVO!!
Before this comment, I thought that she had some clogged sinuses or something. I heard some difference, so wow. More impressive because it’s so hard to sing when your sinuses and clogged and a sore throat. WOW!
She's unique in that she has a very rich voice but very clear at the same time. She goes from chest to head very fluidly. Shes gritty and soft and sweet. She has the type of voice where she can sing anything. Awesome.
Yasss, exactly. The richness of gospel music in itself is being able to ebb and flow, soft to high, chest to head, omg. And of course, the "feeling" is the anointing on your gift.
I had the honor of seeing Cynthia in the Color Purple on Broadway in the front row on Christmas Day...absolutely amazing and the Best Female Broadway performance I have ever seen.
If you think this performance is great, and it is, I highly recommend listening to Fantasia's rendition at the Tony's. Amazing and powerful, to say the least.
She was training 3 hours per day for a half marathon at this time (2016), which she went on to complete some months later. Those arms deserve a Tony all their own 🙌
i was in the audience at Stephen Colbert that day. She was spectacular.. The most amazing thing to me was the fact that that entire orchestra set up just to play that one single song and then broke down. it was at least 30 pieces... I didn't get to see her on Broadway so I was happy that I got to see her sing this signature song from TCP
When she started singing I thought: she has a nice voice but whatever. Ten seconds later I was crying and by the end of the song I was sobbing. Wow, what an stunning performance. Perfect mix of vulnerability and strength. I didn't know about this lady but I'm so glad that I have found her.
ugh yes it makes me happy when these “vocal coach reacts to” videos center around broadway songs because broadway actors have to study singing techniques for years and it’s interesting to see a vocal coach analyze it.
Cynthia is a powerhouse! Her vocals are astounding! In the clip you are watching though, someone combined Oprah's reaction to Jennifer Hudson singing this song to Cynthia singing it on the Stephen Colbert show haha.
I saw TCP on Broadway. 6 rows from the stage! Cynthia’s voice was so powerful it felt like your hair was blown back every time she sang!!!! I would see it 10 more times. Simply glorious!!!
Just wait until you review her performance of Alfie for Dionne Warwicke's Honor at the Kennedy Center Awards in 2023. Just simply spectacular...It just might become her signature performance for the remainder of her life. Just wonderful!
Ms. Erivo sings with her soul, heart, pain and passion. The result is absolutely thrilling. It hits you right at your core and your heart. She is the best vocalist of our time.
This is Cynthia performing intercut with clips from other things...the clips with Oprah are from a Kennedy Center performance but it was Jennifer Hudson performing the song...sketchy editing for no good reason)
They enter cut it because the original video of her at the Colbert show was taken down. But they didn't want It taken down down again, so that meant fooling around and changing it around so that it's not like the original video.
@@nicksnow914 Cynthia an Icon, based on what I must have missed something. I mean people can have come out just yesterday and they're suddenly an Icon, WOW things certainly has change
I just stumbled upon your page, I am mot interested in being a singer. BUT I really enjoy seeing your reaction when a note makes you happy. You rewind to hear a note again. I rewind to see how happy "that note" made you. More, please.
As one of the voices from center stage performs the quality of her voice resonates every note. SHE runs beautifully . HER breathe rings from the bottom UP. Styling range is phenomenal. She enunciates beautifully.
I would really love to hear your reaction to Alex Newell singing Random Black Girl. It's a fantastic performance and his voice is amazing. I'd love to know more about how he is producing those sounds.
Kylin Sheets Her voice just pulls you in.You get an emotional connection to her.I love Cynthia Erivo she is very talented and not given enough credit for her work.
Hey Tara! I'd like to start off by stating that I love your channel and the energy that you put out through your videos really brighten my days up, so thank you. I know that my request might seem unreasonable, seeing as the video I'll be referring to "only" has 320k views on youtube, and the artist isn't the most well known, but I feel inclined to do it anyways, because his voice really is THAT unique and fantastic. I'm speaking off "Albin Lee Meldau: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert". It's a 13 minute long video, but really any video of him, except for his studio edited songs, will do perfect if 13 minutes is too long for you to react to. He's got a unique mix between a really powerful yet tender voice. His ability to express emotions through his facial expressions is almost unheard of, at least to me, among other musical artists. I also encourage you, the reader, to look him up and, if you agree with me and wants him to get a bigger audiance, come back here and like this comment. It would, at the very least, help in making Tara see this. Who knows; it very well might be one of your next favorite artists. Thank you, and take care.
I have watched many of your reactions, but this one has to be my favorite! First of all, I saw the Broadway show too...and Cynthia is just incredible. During this performance she was sick and running a fever...but the professionalism and her poise was flawless. This is actually my favorite performance of hers as well!!!! Great explanation from you..I've watched it at least 5 x.
Check out Shosanna Bean singing She Used to Be Mine. I know you already heard a rendition of this but this was just sick! Also, Voctave just came out with a new video. :)
I've loved Shoshana since her Wicked days; but right now, for me, no one sings She Used to Be Mine better than Adrian Matthews. The kid sang it in his house and it went viral so the cast invited him to see Waitress. Then he sung it after the show during their karaoke party. That little Old Soul kid surpassed what Sara, Kellie, Shoshana and Jeremy did with the song.I like the way he lets it build. He brought the cast and himself to to tears th-cam.com/video/IGVxaFJeYTo/w-d-xo.html
I tell my students that about movement as well. Wait until you absolutely need to and it will create purposeful movement. Great acting coach, you had. And you're amazing!!
Cynthia's vocal was flawless, Tara I have just found your channel, and loving it. Im 56 started vocal coaching at the age of 8. Haven't performed since I was 22. I would love some vocal coaching as my voice has changed but the love I have for singing has not changed
Gytis321 S Diana Ankudinova has increasible uniquie voice. I think she will be one number star of the world. I am sure. th-cam.com/video/8B8cjlBgkTg/w-d-xo.html
5:39 we are not going to zoom past that note. I know you are a vocal coach but that was not expected. That was amazing and it had to be said. Period. Thank you very much.
So glad you finally reacted to Cynthia. She truly is a vocal goddess! Don’t know if you react to multiple videos of the same person, but her performance of Can You Feel The Love Tonight is REMARKABLE to say the least. Thanks for what you do!
Amazing review... Not because you celebrated all Queen's choices and talent, but because you couldn't hide how impresssed you were and I was with u the WHOLE TIME... 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Tbh I’m here just to see if you ever wear the same outfit/style more than once. 🤣Seriously, lots of prep work there and how you get into the performances are “gorgeous” Respect earned!
Love that you recognized and noted that the significance in the gospel musicality in The Color Purple. Thank you for explaining why Cynthia Erivo is a great singer with her vowel choices, stage presence, and of course that gorgeous powerful voice.

May I ask you a question??
Cynthia is called...by GOD! Period.
Cynthia Erivo is a name that should be known by everyone. She is absolute perfection.
she defined that role for a generation. She's the watermark that anyone even attempting that role will be measured against.
She almost became an EGOT (someone who has won and Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) but she didn't win either of the Oscar she was nominated for this past awards season and became one of 16 people to ever do that, yet she is super underrated and somewhat unknown which is saddening.
Absolutely flawless..❤
She will be when the Wicked movie drops in 2024. She’s playing Elphaba!
Good news, SHE IS THE BOMB RN
She had a 101 degree fever and SLAYED this
Oh my goldfish seriously?
Emmanuel Marian Mathew yup!
I had no idea about that. She’s so talented, I swear.
I was showing this to a friend and telling him, that I bet she was sick. Not because she didn’t SLAYED, but because as a singer myself, I can hear her nose is a little clogged and stuffy. But this gorgeous woman is such a great technician and singer, that this was still flawless. A true singer always pulls through!!! Ughh that openness and beautiful vowels!!! BRAVO!!
Before this comment, I thought that she had some clogged sinuses or something. I heard some difference, so wow. More impressive because it’s so hard to sing when your sinuses and clogged and a sore throat. WOW!
THIS, MY FRIENDS, IS WHY SHE WON THE TONY
zoë she is AMAZING!!! Gave me goosebumps!!
FACTS!!
She's unique in that she has a very rich voice but very clear at the same time. She goes from chest to head very fluidly. Shes gritty and soft and sweet. She has the type of voice where she can sing anything. Awesome.
Yasss, exactly. The richness of gospel music in itself is being able to ebb and flow, soft to high, chest to head, omg. And of course, the "feeling" is the anointing on your gift.
Tara you have to listen to her new song from the movie Harriet, called "Stand Up"!!!
Yes!
YAS PLEASE
Yes please. The 2020 oscars version of Stand Up!!
Yeeeeees please
I have seen it two days ago
She’s now defying gravity! Love her!
She’s gonna be playing Harriet Tubman in the upcoming November film. Can’t wait, and thank you for reacting to this.
Thanks for reminding me!
Pamelafountain60 jones exactly! She doesn't even like black Americans, but wants to play them
@Pamelafountain60 jones why does it matter?
@Pamelafountain60 jones Quit hurting your own feelings.
Pamelafountain60 jones being salty will not help you! Lmao. Cut it out!
I had the honor of seeing Cynthia in the Color Purple on Broadway in the front row on Christmas Day...absolutely amazing and the Best Female Broadway performance I have ever seen.
Wow what a Christmas gift.
Ditto
It was a Christmas gift to myself and it was amazing. 😊
If you think this performance is great, and it is, I highly recommend listening to Fantasia's rendition at the Tony's. Amazing and powerful, to say the least.
I saw her too. AMAZING
"I love your arm muscles"
Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed upon first seeing the video 😅
She was training 3 hours per day for a half marathon at this time (2016), which she went on to complete some months later. Those arms deserve a Tony all their own 🙌
i was in the audience at Stephen Colbert that day. She was spectacular.. The most amazing thing to me was the fact that that entire orchestra set up just to play that one single song and then broke down. it was at least 30 pieces... I didn't get to see her on Broadway so I was happy that I got to see her sing this signature song from TCP
Cynthia Erivo' brings me to tears, regardless of what she is singing.
Chiiile, I'm crying while reading this. 😭😢
AND NOW, 4 YRS LATER, SHE'S SINGING DEFYING GRAVITY!!!✨🫶
Cynthia is one of the best singers I’ve ever heard
When she started singing I thought: she has a nice voice but whatever. Ten seconds later I was crying and by the end of the song I was sobbing. Wow, what an stunning performance. Perfect mix of vulnerability and strength. I didn't know about this lady but I'm so glad that I have found her.
This is why I love Cynthia Erivo. She’s not just an amazing singer but an amazing vocalist. It’s the choices she makes that make her so special.
ugh yes it makes me happy when these “vocal coach reacts to” videos center around broadway songs because broadway actors have to study singing techniques for years and it’s interesting to see a vocal coach analyze it.
Tara almost cant say anything but 'Gorgeous' , 'Beautiful' 'Perfect' and 'Yesss' during the performance :D
I just LOVE Tara's faces. You can tell she enjoyed this one.
Cynthia is a powerhouse! Her vocals are astounding! In the clip you are watching though, someone combined Oprah's reaction to Jennifer Hudson singing this song to Cynthia singing it on the Stephen Colbert show haha.
Cynthia murdered that performance. I love her as a artist. Beautifully done.
Cynthia brings chills to me when she opens her mouth.
Vocal stylist like myself can only say Cynthia is a gift to music. BEautiful tone. GREAT REview
I always cry when she says she’s beautiful and the vocals
I saw TCP on Broadway. 6 rows from the stage! Cynthia’s voice was so powerful it felt like your hair was blown back every time she sang!!!! I would see it 10 more times. Simply glorious!!!
Same!
She is a vocal genius!!
You know it’s perfect when you get that staink face!
Yas! Stank face is gold!
Everything Cynthia touches turns to gold. 😍😍 YASSSSS!
Just wait until you review her performance of Alfie for Dionne Warwicke's Honor at the Kennedy Center Awards in 2023. Just simply spectacular...It just might become her signature performance for the remainder of her life. Just wonderful!
I always cry when I watch her sing this. SO GOOD. 🙏🏻
I LOVE Cynthia E!!! Beautiful woman with a voice from the heavens!! I could listen to her all day everyday!! ♥️♥️♥️
Ms. Erivo sings with her soul, heart, pain and passion. The result is absolutely thrilling. It hits you right at your core and your heart. She is the best vocalist of our time.
I cry every time I watch her performance
It's just so moving you can feel it vibrates throughout you as you sing
Cynthia has a gift 💝 that is her voice. I absolutely love her voice and this performance brought me to tears. Love her 💝💝💝
Funny part is that Oprah never sat in this audience 😂 somebody edited this reaction in this video
That was Oprah at the Kennedy Center Honors with Jennifer Hudson singing. That was Cynthia's performance on the Stephen Colbert show.
took me tf out!!!
This is Cynthia performing intercut with clips from other things...the clips with Oprah are from a Kennedy Center performance but it was Jennifer Hudson performing the song...sketchy editing for no good reason)
They enter cut it because the original video of her at the Colbert show was taken down. But they didn't want It taken down down again, so that meant fooling around and changing it around so that it's not like the original video.
Yeah, adding the clips of Oprah is enough to make it “transformative” and avoids copyright claims
It is edited but the vocal throughout is Cynthia.
If you listen to the original, she sang throughout the whole thing
Exactly. The audio was also tweaked in parts. I am shocked that Tara did not catch it.
Cynthia kills it!!!!!!!!! Even on the Terrell Gice Show she’s amazing and you are an amazing singer as well I hear ya!!!!
I'm so glad you reacted to this performance! This is one of my favorite Broadway songs of all time, and Cynthia Erivo is insanely talented!
Can you please react too Cynthia Erivo singing “Can you feel that love tonight” at the 2019 Tony’s please it was amazing
Jiji Wilson PLEASE
Jiji Wilson yes yes yes!!
@Pamelafountain60 jones sis nobody is talking about that we all know about that. Cynthia is still an icon and we're respecting and honoring her
@@nicksnow914 Cynthia an Icon, based on what I must have missed something. I mean people can have come out just yesterday and they're suddenly an Icon, WOW things certainly has change
Ms. Tara your voice is beautiful too! I hear it 😍 but Cynthia is the TRUTTTHHHH ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍

I love watching reactions when the vocal coach can’t find a single thing to critique. Absolutely flawless
So emotional put me to tears
Wow! A voice coach finally reacted to this one. Thank you! She's one of my favorites!
As one of the voices from center stage performs the quality of her voice resonates every note. SHE runs beautifully . HER breathe rings from the bottom UP. Styling range is phenomenal. She enunciates beautifully.
Please do Ledisi's Aretha Franklin tribute performance. SO underrated!
Tiasha Rookwood yes please ❤️

First time hearing Cynthia and she truly has an amazing voice.
First! Omg I’ve been waiting for this for so long!!!!!
I would really love to hear your reaction to Alex Newell singing Random Black Girl. It's a fantastic performance and his voice is amazing. I'd love to know more about how he is producing those sounds.
She brings me to tears
Sorry, but I have to say it, oprah wasn't there, that was fake lol
Marcus Marcus true .
@@LH-xo2hf How and why did they put Oprah in there and she wasn't?
@@rachelh4319 the oprah clips where from another performance of this song by Jennifer Hudson
Rachel H avoid copyright issues
Yes Oprah was at the Kennedy honors with Jennifer Hudson singing it. But that’s ok Cynthia was still amazing
