+Holly Manson agreed id probably pay a good amount for a perfect studio version of this
jennifer killed it, and she was reading lyrics while singing!
Jennifer Hudson is one of the best female vocalists in the world , such power and emotion , she's going to be as huge as Whitney you go girl x
+Craig Burrows yeah right
+Craig Burrows she's the bomb
Jennifer Hudson was better than Whitney Houston when she was on American Idol.
that girl in yellow is a POWER HOUSE
+TheVikolavoice I agree.
Jennifer slays her, sorry 💅
Pedro Moreno Cortes pssshhh yeah right clearly the girl in yellow pants ripped jennifer hudson apart, and thats the honest truth, handle it
Not everyone see's or hear's things in the same way. It may be your honesty, but not everyone's.
Cynthia .
"Girl in the yellow pants"???? Y'all need to put some respect on Ms Cynthia Erivo's name
Nah.
That’s right let them know!
THAT MF PART🙌🏿
God damn it, who's cutting all these onions in here. This was a beautiful tribute.

Kay Wize I get chills when she sings it almost as much as when Prince does! Wow!
YELLOW PANTS!!!! KILLED IT.
Cynthia Everivo
Cynthia Erivo
OH MY GOD, I COULD FEEL Jennifer's PAIN AND DON'T FORGET THE YOUNG LADY IN YELLOW
The lady in the yellow trousers (pants) is Cynthia Erivo :) Nigerian British singer-songwriter and theatre actress.. Great tribute! R.I.P Prince #legendsliveon
Still have chills 7 years later. I'm pretty sure this launched Cynthia's career.
OMG. This is incredible. They embodied the passion, intensity, and truth that was Prince. Rest in Power.
+Jonathan Singer Jennifer Hudson is the ONLY one that can do justice with her heart for him. WOW..
+Kimberly Garcia actually the woman in the yellow out sang her...
Jennifer is Amazing 😍
I was here for Cynthia UNTIL Jennifer came and shut shit ALL THE WAY DOWN.
Even Cynthia had to look at her like "Girl you better sang your ass off."🔥🔥😂😂😂

I can't believe how talented that woman is. Goosies all around!!!❤️❤️
After getting the news of the passing of Prince, I held it together all day...until I got here and the tears started flowing. Thank you Jennifer and cast. We love you Prince. May you continue to rock in heaven!
THank god for cameras on phones.
CRI Full screen looks like we're there!
For anyone who may not have checked the past Tony's,yellow pants is the goddess that is Cynthia Erivo. I suggest you look up "I'm here" by her.
This was an amazing tribute to Prince. Thanks Jennifer Hudson, you're voice is amazing and the other young lady has a beautiful gift as well. Felt like you guys we're taking me to church as well. RIP Prince.
Man, the girl in the yellow pants sounds a lot like Jennifer Hudson, and can "sang"
Cynthia Eviro's voice is truly spellbinding....this was a heart felt tribute...R.I.P. Prince...
sis in the yellow,just wow...God bless.
OMG THEY SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG THAT
Never realized it til now but purple rain (the chord progression, structure, and lyrics) is a traditional black gospel song.
+sevendragon Good point!
That woman in the yellow pants, Wow!
I will always come back to this impromptu performance. Prince could not be more proud in the heavens of this rendition. Great voice, beautiful souls, true artists never die. RIP The Artist
i swear if prince was already in heaven, he must have come back to earth the moment just to hear this. No lie dude was right there
Came here for a song..... got feels.
They killed this......
yep, I'm 47 yr old, bawling my eyes out. Amazing tribute, beautiful crowd. RIP and thank you Prince.
MInute 3:26. Jennifer hits a top C. TOp soprano C. Omigod.

sybylo O’ she took my wig off 😭😍😍
So much power in their voices yet with no MIC on😮😮🔥🔥WOW
I wish that I would have been able to meet Brother Prince Rogers Nelson if only to convey the difficulties of living in constant pain. I'm grateful my brother rests free of pain awaiting Jehovah's call to wake. I'm grateful for the example of a man who had literally everything a man could want but still took note and consciousness of his spiritual need and humbled himself in service of our heavenly father! I'm inactive and I am still mourning the death of a spiritual brother I never met but in a way I did know him through his music. I always feel like once this happens or that happens I can go back to Jehovah and I do miss my brothers. I'm just tired from sickness and depression and loneliness. I know that many don't trust the witnesses but before the clinical depression I lived a full life in Jehovah's service and now there's no joy in anything. I'm literally fighting the temptation to skip the rest of my living years and join you in sleep to await Jehovah's call! I'm not strong enough to make it to the new system. I'm so tired and i envy your rest although i know i shouldn't
.Maybe some of us need to check out before their time. I'm so alone
No words can describe 💔 This was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, I was in such shock yesterday, just devastated and watching this , I lost it. I Love You Prince💜👑
Holy shit Cynthia Erivo! And Jennifer Hudson (who we already knew was amazing) is incredible in this too. I'd listen to a studio version of this.
Jhud and the girlmin Yellow Pants😍😍They smashed the song
Amazing. Now that same woman Cynthia will be playing Queen Aretha. What a great range of voice.
DANG CYNTHIA ERIVO VOICE... #BOOM💥💥💥💥💥🎤🎤 with the beautiful #JHUDSON... #AMAZING!!
The woman in the yellow pants is Cynthia Erivo! Amazing
I have never cried and mourned an artist's death before...but Prince. I grew up on his music and both of my parents loved him. They are both gone now as well....listening to this song, seeing people stand up in the audience out of respect and admiration and realizing how deeply he touched all of us brings back so many memories. I, as well as millions are heartbroken. RIP PRINCE...
How can you not get emotional after seeing that! 💜
Beautiful tribute..Girl in yellow Slayed!..JH amazing as usual
Damn! when yellow pants hit that first note, I just held my breath I thought it was too high but they blew me away going even higher... hit my soul dead on...Prince forever
omg that girl with the yellow pants on is so amazing!
...and here I thought I ran out of tears yesterday
Really surprised no one is complaining about vertical.
..... So i will
I am refraining from it. You can presume to do a lot if you catch a good recording, i guess.
gave me chills watching
Wonderful performance Jennifer & group. Prince would have been very honored.
When she hit that octave, I got chills. Wonderful tribute.
This is one of the best renditions I've heard besides Fantasia's tribute to Prince singing Purple Rain. I would purchase this if they recorded it. Sing Ladies!!
So happy I got to see this amazing cast live. They continue to bring joy and happiness and faith to broadway and used their talents tonight to remember a musical & cultural icon. I can't rave enough about Cynthia Erivo.
This is the first tribute that made me cry. It's amazing and beautiful. RIP Prince.
I hadn't cried yet until watching this tribute. I'd come close but this took the cake for me.
lol omg me too
Just came here for a good cry.
I think I might go to church this Sunday - that feeling you get when you need to hear those angelic voices.

My GOD ! Y'all better sang!
