Dammit, I uncontrollably spontaneously combusted into tears in those last few notes! To evoke that instant emotion… at that point she’s just a vessel.. Whatever higher power u believe or don’t believe in, takes over her & shines out so bright that we’re blessed to just witness it in silent awe.. This woman is my new obsession & multitalented is an understatement. If I had a single hair strain’s worth of her talent I’d be a happy little nugget !
Cynthia's like Classical technique meets Soul and then merges with Theater acting and storytelling. A VOCAL GODDESS THAT EXUDES MUSICALITY AND THE EPITOME OF "MY VOICE IS AN INSTRUMENT".
Cynthia proves time and time again that her name should be mentioned right alongside of Aretha’s, Whitney’s, Jennifer Hudson’s, and anyone else’s name that can fall into the category of the most amazing female voices of All Time!!! 💐💐💐
Indeed!! I totally agree!! Her talent is amazing!! Watched her live in The Color Purple, her voice brought me to tears each time she sang. Her voice is sublime!
Cynthia Chinasaokwu Erivo is a British singer and actress who has won numerous awards for her work. She was born in Stockwell, London. She is known for her roles in The Color Purple, Widows and Bad Times at the El Royale. 5:05 [Pianity]
There are many singers but few vocalists who can tell a story through their craft. Cynthia always grabs you and takes you on a journey with every song she tells.
*People considare Beyonce or Whitney or Mariah as "divas'.I think Cynthia is in the category. I love her !! There is no competition for her in this industry ! Her delivery is out of this world !*
She is a Diva without the ego. She sings every song with such grace and strength, yet she doesn't have to scream and shout to captivate an audience. A complete Master Class
As a child in the 1970s I would sit in from of my dad's record collection amd look at the covers. Sometimes he would play them for me. As long as I kept quiet and just listened. I remember the fern patterned carpet, the smell of cigarette smoke and the bright sun streaming through the window. I wish I had a child I could share this record with.
Wow! I've never heard anyone do this cover of Donny Hathaway's song before. Donny is one of my personal all-time favorite male singers. As a matter of fact, he is the 1st singer that I listened to on the radio. I was blown away with his beautiful voice. Even today, his songs still touch my soul like no other. His voice was definitely anointed. Gone too soon.
This is one of my favorite love songs and blues songs and this is the first time that I've heard someone do it where it topped the original. Absolutely incredible. The band! Can we get a shout out for the band??!!
Cynthia absolutely excels in controlling her voice and making such interesting choices. Just when you think you know what to expect, her musicality takes us somewhere else. Hello 4:56
A performance only Cynthia Eviro is capable of giving delivers much more than "blood, sweat and tears" (thank you Al Kooper for writing), her heart & soul presentation reached deep within. ❤️
You know, Prince wrote that?Sinéad O’Connor brought it to life he’s gone she’s gone. They would’ve been completely satisfied with that rendition cause neither one of them could’ve sang that like she did. ❤❤❤
I mean what can be said about this woman's amazing talent. I just love her voice, her articulation and her song choices , She stepped into her calling. So glad she is getting the recognition she deserves.Truly one of the best .
Cynthia Erivo don’t let Hollywood turn you out. stay under the protection of your Lord. I’m praying for you and over you that everything goes phenomenal for you.
If I ever leave you, baby You can say I told you so And if I ever hurt you You know, I hurt myself as well Is that any way for a man to carry on Do you think I want my loved one gone Said I love you More than you'll ever know More than you'll ever know When I wasn't making much money You know where my paycheck went You know, I brought it home to you, baby And I never spent a red cent Is that any way for a man to carry on Do you think I want my loved one gone Said I love you More than you'll ever know, yeah More than you'll ever know Now listen to this I'm not trying to be just any kind of man No, I ain't I'm just trying to be somebody You can love, trust and understand I know, I know, I know that I can be A part of you that no one else could see, yeah But I gotta hear you say I got to hear you say It's alright I'm only flesh and blood But I can be anything that you demand I can be King of everything Or just a tiny grain of sand Now tell me Is that anyway for a man to carry on Do you think that I want my loved one gone I love you More than you'll ever know I said I love you I love you, I love you, hey Don't want nobody else but you
The soul of this Amazing heart reaching song touch me from the bottom of my soul ❤️ I just lost my love one and I live that song 🎵 ❤️ for him yeah through him the pain of my love for him was deep fill with love and fill with pain and she helped me to say goodbye ❤🎉😢😮😊 Thank you so so much

Singing Donny Hathaway song. She gave me goose bumps while she was singing and hitting all of the music notes. Whew. She is fierce.
I was thinking of Donny too...RIP. Love, love, love, Cynthia:D
3:48 this shot is just breathtaking
She’s very impressive. I had no idea that she had such range. She can sing anything.
You need to check out her doing Aretha’s covers.
The voice. The fit. The poise. I cannot with Ms. CYNTHIA!!! SHE IS THE VOICE ❤❤
She has presence!
This woman has so much qualities and fashion sense is one of them.
she can DEVOUR any song given to her, she really deserves to be recognize.

Mr. Hathaway is looking down from heaven smiling!❤❤❤
Musical Diva of the highest order.
I’m convinced that Cynthia Erivo can walk on water.
CYNTHIA ERIVO EVERYBODY! 🗣🗣🗣
Everything about this performance is perfection! The guitar, the sax, the horn, the orchestra, and most of all, the vocals!!

listen to the amy winehouse cover in a church its amazing, i love cynthia but amy gives it somewthing else
Donny Hathaway's version is also a cover (an amazing one), its a song of Blood Sweat and Tears.
Amy also covered it and i agree! Amys version is more touching but Cynthias voice is great
Love Amy’s version truly soulful
@@4050322 yeah love cynthia and i love seeing different peoples takes on songs its amazing to see what people do with them

She's really been WORKING lately. I love it!
If I ever leave you, baby
You can say I told you so
And if I ever hurt you
You know, I hurt myself as well
Is that any way for a man to carry on
Do you think I want my loved one gone
Said I love you
More than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know
When I wasn't making much money
You know where my paycheck went
You know, I brought it home to you, baby
And I never spent a red cent
Is that any way for a man to carry on
Do you think I want my loved one gone
Said I love you
More than you'll ever know, yeah
More than you'll ever know
Now listen to this
I'm not trying to be just any kind of man
No, I ain't
I'm just trying to be somebody
You can love, trust and understand
I know, I know, I know that I can be
A part of you that no one else could see, yeah
But I gotta hear you say
I got to hear you say
It's alright
I'm only flesh and blood
But I can be anything that you demand
I can be King of everything
Or just a tiny grain of sand
Now tell me
Is that anyway for a man to carry on
Do you think that I want my loved one gone
I love you
More than you'll ever know
I said I love you
I love you, I love you, hey
Don't want nobody else but you
The soul of this Amazing heart reaching song touch me from the bottom of my soul ❤️ I just lost my love one and I live that song 🎵 ❤️ for him yeah through him the pain of my love for him was deep fill with love and fill with pain and she helped me to say goodbye ❤🎉😢😮😊 Thank you so so much
