I was there that night and the crowd was electric. When Fantasia sang this song it was like a revival and rock concert rolled into one. By the time she got to the end of this song people were on their feet screaming and clapping as if the Holy Ghost was rolling through. I sat two seats over from Ms. Patti Labelle and she was on her feet waving and screaming too as if she was in church. I had already seen the play twice prior to this night. This particular performance was on fire. Amazing!!
This performance is still very chilling and moving all of these years later regardless of the quality of this video! This song was meant and written for strictly for Fantasia! Nobody on earth can sing it like her!
This was posted 12 years ago, yet I am back to hear the Holy Ghost in this. And the reaction of the recorder, is one of someone who is moved, like they ought to be. Brings me to tears. Everytime.
I was front row when i saw this on broadway and Fantasia was crying during this scene.... She went into that character with every bit of spirit... Fantasia made Celie her own....
I LOVE the ladies talking. Made me feel like I was there. Seen the show many times and I cry everytime I watch this!!!! U go ladies and thanks for the vid.
What’s crazy is that any recording of a live Broadway song doesn’t sound nearly as good as it does in person but Fantasia’s performances sound like you’re right there. I can’t even imagine what it was like in person. Profound.
Saw the revival 3 weeks ago, for the people who are saying that the audience was rude, I completely disagree. The live performance of this song and many others in the show really makes you want to stand up and cheer halfway through the song (which happened many times). The raw emotion packed into this song is what compels the audience to do what they did in the video and it's not your place to judge how they feel.
The MUSICAL The BOOK The MOVIE The STOLEN LIVES, DISPARITY OF FORMER SLAVES AND THEIR CHILDREN AND THEN THEIR CHILDRENS' CHILDREN. US WE ARE STILL HERE.
This is so moving.. because she was truly SINGING to the audience... If the audience had not been as active... Her performance would not have been as lively.. Fantasia THRIVED off of Audience Participation...
Even with all the moving around and yelling you were still able to capture this moment. Surprisingly you managed to capture a powerful and moving performance. I can only imagine what it was like to be in the theater that night. Thank you!
I saw the current Broadway production last week with Cynthia Erivo and Jennifer Hudson...and from the opening number the audience were vocal and enthusiastic. Shouting things like "yes lord" and "you better sing girl" during really emotional parts of songs or speech. It made the show 1000x more enjoyable, no one turned round and said "oh that was rude" or that it ruined the show for them. The entire audience were fully engaged in the show and the actresses themselves said they love how much the audience get involved!
As soon as I heard Tasia is starring in the movie, I ran here to watch this again. I wish you could do an audio commentary for the Blu-ray! Who do we petition for that? 🤣
umm no......the narrator is not qualified...she assumed fantasia 'missed a whole verse' at 2:24...when she didn't. Fantasia just took her time with the song (and improvised upwards and held notes out for longer than she did in most performances/the studio version) . Meanwhile Cynthia Screamrivo's voice gave out her last performance of I'm here
She slayed that wore that out got me crying killed it beasted it Whatever compliment I can throw you got it Tasia my favorite performance of this song and I've watched tons
y'all love to talk/TYPE crap about somebody yelling this is these ppls jobs as entertainers is to move you and touch you and get you off your feet and shout💃🕺🗣 they love it they feed off the audiences energy especially this talented BEAUTIFUL AMAZING Queen right here
Stop talking bad about the person who recorded this video and be happy that she shared it. I find her enthusiasm absolutely hilarious! I am in tears laughing! I saw the play on Broadway twice and the energy in the room during this scene was crazy. I LOVED IT! I'm thinking about going a third time when she comes to D.C.
i absolutely feel the same way the fan felt who recorded this video.. I wish I would had or could had went too see the play.. I would had been doing the same thing if i was doing the recording or was just in the background.. I love fantasia and her voice.. She is definately annoited and so very gifted w/ a gift of music.. Sing It Tasia
I love these girls lol I was right there with y'all lol Tasia open that mouth in your souls start getting stirred up!! Thank y'all for this amazing video lol 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. Tasia's performance, plus yall's commentary took me on a journey. This is beyond words makes me feel the same way I do when I listen to Donny Hathaway or Rachelle Ferrel.
Marquese Robinson AMEN AMEN & AMEN AGAIN SIR!! DONNY & THE UNDERRATED LOVELY RACHELLE FERRELL. WILL DOWNING & MADAM R. FERRELL... "NOTHING HAS EVER FELT LIKE THIS" IS ALL I'M GOING TO SAY!!
I don't care who, what, or where..Fantasia Barrino can sing. Period. End of Story. She sang the hell out of this song that night. I CANNOT WAIT to see her bring that magic to the screen. This bought back memories. Thanks for posting it.
Ladies this clip is SICK!! If I'd have been there I'd be showing my love too, Fantasia had the place in the palm of her hand!!!! Showing love from the UK
This is why i LOVEEEEEEE Fantasia.. She has the amazing talent to evoke such RAW emotion from people... Fantasia and Jennifer Hudson are the only 2 people of this generation that HONESTLY can do that...#teamidol
Actually the running commentary added to my enjoyment of the video. You and your sisters sound like you're FUN to be around! I have seen the play 5X now and can related to what you guys were feeling. I can't wait until the movie comes out then the DVD so I can scream, shout and cry to my hearts content without upsetting folks.
i cried so hard! thanx for uploading..the camera & emotions are real! if i were there holding the camera..i believe i could only hold it for few seconds..i wud jumping around like crazy! Tasia..u R d real deal!
Thank you, thank you, and thank you again. I always come back to this video. Impeccable performance and incredible audience appreciation. One of my favorite videos.
I really don't mind your input in the video! LOL I must even say you really gave me life! HAHAHA WOOOOOW WHAT A PERFORMANCE! ID PROBABLY DO THE SAME THING IF I WERE IN YOUR SHOES!!!! AMAZING AMAZING!!!
If y’all think it’s rude for people to be hoopin and hollering during this video wait until the musical movie version comes out lol they bout to show out. I’m Here is going to be a MOMENT. Make room for your Oscar Fantasia
I got goosebumps all over again, just like I was watching live again. Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting...and don't mind those who don't understand the raw emotion this performance evokes. This is pure, God given soul. If it doesn't move you and get you shoutin', something ain't right.
Let me explain something to people who are making judgments about the audience. I was there that night. This video doesn’t remotely capture the tone, emotion or energy in the room that night. I majored in Theatre at NYU and attend shows regularly, so I’m well aware of the usual Broadway audience decorum. But the call and response reaction to this particular show, this particular performer, and especially on her final night, was more than appropriate. Fantasia fed off it and it launched her to give one of the most incredible performances I’ve ever seen on a stage. You can’t hear clearly on this 13 year old crappy recording, but that night NOBODY with working ears or a good hearing aid had any trouble hearing Fantasia bring the house down. You really just had to be there.
You guys are funny!! I did go see the Color Purple in Austin. The young lady who played Celie did a good job but she didn't tear this song up. Fantasia has so much emotion in her singing and she lives this song and you can feel it. Seems like she took ya'll to church and that is alright with me! Hopefully I can see her performance and enjoy her singing this song! Also, I would have been saying, "girl you betta sang it " and talking like you all were!!LOL
loved everything about the video from the sister so excited she could recored to the crowd feeling fantaisa...lol cant wait to see it in dc with my mom...thanks for the post of this video
ok, I am a professional actor and singer and let me correct some folks here. Fantasia brought those people to hollerin' and they did what she told em to do. No actor likes a boring audience. The more the audience gives you, the more you give them. And homegirl tore it DOWN. Screw theatre etiquette. Get down and have fun.
You know what, i'm Asian and I think I would be screaming if I were there too because i'm a huge fan of Tasia. Plus they weren't the only ones screaming, pretty much the whole theatre was cheering for this amazing talent.
Chile.. when I tell you I wish I was there for this.. it gives me tears and chills everytime.. oh my God.. I'd be hollering just like the woman recording!!
when she say " I cant record mo' mo'", "she missed a whole verse"..."YOU damn right....let it OUT! You betta sang that s#%@!...." lmao... I feel homegirl recording though, I thought i was gone cry till i had no more tears! Tay tay SUNG THE NOTES OFF THAT SONG!" You betta get it girl...
YEEEEESS!! I cannot wait until Fantasia releases a new album . . . From songs already leaked [ bittersweet, even angels, control freak, man of the house ] I can trully expect her album to be ON ANOTHER LEVEL! I believe the vocal training she received frm this role hasn't added to her SKILL and STYLE!
I never don't cry when I see this video. I saw her on Broadway do this and I swear that I sat down next to a white woman that I didn't even know but by the time the end of this play came, we were hand in hand and crying together!
peters09 I loved this video and i love Fantasia, the people who recorded it were only acting natural, that"s how Fantasia makes you feel. And to all you stuck up people who thought they were out of order, i would have liked to seen you there, because if you see Fantasia preform ANYWHERE!! and you stay silent then you must be DEAD!!i don"t care if it was at the ,church, concert, or theater, you cant help but feel her singing. They made the video even more enjoyable!! Now kick rocks!!!!!!!!
if anyone knows theater history you would know that theater began as participatory where the audience was aloud to shout and talk tot he characters- the observatory theater became later when the theater began to cater to the elite society who went to the opera where they had to be quiet and that's how theater became an observatory entertainment
This is a great vid!!! Yes the talking was taking away from the performance but then again its not my vid nor all of the others who have to voice their opinion. Thank you for putting this up it was funny because of you and Fantasia is a wonderful performer!!! Thanks again!!!
I found you all to be hilarious! I have sisters and friends who would have probably been annoyed by you as well, but probably would have drowned you out with our own noise. LOL... It doesn't bother us when we're the ones making the noise. Loved your enthusiasm. This song and entire play evokes powerful emotion especially for those that can identify with the degradation of a human soul Hope provokes such outbursts and empowerment! You all screamed for all of us!!! Lighten up everyone!
While I would rather here Fantasia sing than all of the screaming and of course there is "proper etiquette" when attending broadway shows, however being in attendance at this particular show is extremely moving and empowering at the same time, there is an overwhelming sense of connection and triumph that causes such reaction..believe me, these ladies were NOT "odd man out" by any means!..I saw it in ATL and will be seeing it in LA..it's just that awesome!..thx for the post..in spite of..;o)
lol "Yes mama!!" I love your input, it's funny. I like listening to the songs when it's live. Though the CD recordings are richer, I think the live versions have more... oomf. If I got that right.
I love my people...we sho (sure) can give feedback that encourages better performances from our artists! Tasia fed off the energy from the audience and it was evident! Could you imagine if that was a "typical" less enthused crowd...she still would have been good...but this right here was GREAT! Yes!
I can't tell u how much I LOVE this video!!! Some people may not like the recording or your "input," but I feel like it makes it even better! Fantasia sang that song w/ all she had inside & EVERY TIME I listen to it, I get chills!!! LOVE IT...THX FOR SHARING!! BTW, do u know if "The Color Purple" on Broadway w/ her will ever be available on DVD??
She is going to win an Oscar for the movie version. Believe that!
Oh it’s coming… I can’t wait for her 2024 Oscar Campaign!
🙌🏽‼️🙌🏽‼️🙌🏽‼️🙌🏽‼️🙌🏽🙌🏽‼️
If she don't, there's gonna be a riot, I can see it now.
Manifesting!!!!!!!!
WHEN TASIA SAID "IMA GONNA TAKE A DEEP BREATH" THEN THE GIRL SCREAMED "TAKE IT" 😂😂😂😂YESSSSSSSSSSS
I was there that night and the crowd was electric. When Fantasia sang this song it was like a revival and rock concert rolled into one. By the time she got to the end of this song people were on their feet screaming and clapping as if the Holy Ghost was rolling through. I sat two seats over from Ms. Patti Labelle and she was on her feet waving and screaming too as if she was in church. I had already seen the play twice prior to this night. This particular performance was on fire. Amazing!!
It's her closing night, she can be extra... And by the sound of the audience, it didn't seem like anyone had a problem with the way she sung it.
tiburon8604 amen!
This performance is still very chilling and moving all of these years later regardless of the quality of this video! This song was meant and written for strictly for Fantasia! Nobody on earth can sing it like her!

The audience in full shout mode! Can you imagine the movie theaters are going to be lit!
omg if i was singing on stage and the audience was acting like this, i would be LIVINGGGGGG!!!!!!! so much love !
I was front row when i saw this on broadway and Fantasia was crying during this scene.... She went into that character with every bit of spirit... Fantasia made Celie her own....
In 2024.... Still watching. This girl is legendary.
I LOVE that the audience LOST themselves in this performance!!!!!! LOVE it!!!
I LOVE the ladies talking. Made me feel like I was there. Seen the show many times and I cry everytime I watch this!!!! U go ladies and thanks for the vid.
Same..You and UR Sisters at a musical ,book, movie abt women who are sisters #UandMewillNevaPart

Jesus even with the bad quality, you can feel how powerful this was.
I'm even surprised that they managed to record this. If it were me, I would've swung my cellphone/camcorder away. This performance was too powerful.

Props to the lady recording, because if I where there, when Fantasia sings the camera would be off. Fantasia sung the hell out that song.

It was her testimony !!! I saw her n I still feel her !!!

I love your input, it's funny.
I like listening to the songs when it's live. Though the CD recordings are richer, I think the live versions have more... oomf. If I got that right.
Don't record if you can't fight off the holy ghost.
Angela Williams lmfaooooo why fight it?
“hey, take ya time Tasia!!! sing baby....hey...hey” like this her little girl performing
Ik rite! She said something something I blahblah put phone down. #rhythmIsgonnaGetYou
I love my people...we sho (sure) can give feedback that encourages better performances from our artists! Tasia fed off the energy from the audience and it was evident! Could you imagine if that was a "typical" less enthused crowd...she still would have been good...but this right here was GREAT! Yes!
Them girls did nothing wrong. They was showing there support to Fantasia and so am i sitting at this computer...cause i sho was screamin my face off.
I can't tell u how much I LOVE this video!!! Some people may not like the recording or your "input," but I feel like it makes it even better!
