I love the aggressive late-90s/early-aughts camera cuts, where every change cuts to a camera just peeking out from behind a prop or is just slinking back behind one. You can’t unsee it!
The part that always gets me is that she makes singing such a hard song look so effortless. I've had to sing this song a couple of times and I can say that LaChanze really is on another level!
I am so sorry that I became a fan so late. She is amazing. She has opened up the flood gates of my mind for the love of Broadway Musical.. LONG LIVE THE MUSICAL!!!!!!!!
@@gabisrluna The younger generation has no respect for their elders. I mean you're not even old enough to have seen the original. The revival had more gimmicks, but there was something more real with the original production and LaChanze brought something more than Kilgore
@@gabisrluna were u alive in 1989 when this show originally opened? It wasnt better or the entire original cast would not have built careers off of this show
This girl is absolutely amazing!!! In June 2006 I took my mother to see the Color Purple on Broadway we sat on the third row center stage and that was on Father's Day that was the best $250per seat I spent. I have no regrets. Me and my mother really enjoyed the show.
omg I get chills listening to this song! shes amazing! my high school is doing this as our spring musical and this song and The Sad Tale of the Beauxhommes are my favsies!
Good god I love her. I saw a local production of this last night and all I could think about was LaChanze belting .... the girl playing the part did not live up to my expectations. lol. LOVE YOU LACHANZE! GET IT GIRL GET IT!!!!!!
I remember watching Syesha Mercado from last seasons AI singing this on youtube. But the video got removed! It was a really good rendition. This is incredible too.
Um can we talk? I'd love to get a copy ...its one of my MOST favorite musicals; sadly she was supposed to be in the Dreamgirls concert too which I did get to see ...

If she put any more power into this I think she might melt the audience's faces. Her technique is just about flawless, and this song is not easy.

lmaooo
I love the aggressive late-90s/early-aughts camera cuts, where every change cuts to a camera just peeking out from behind a prop or is just slinking back behind one. You can’t unsee it!
*Oh.Gods.* 🤣
She was one of the voices of the Muses in Hercules!!!! I love her!!!!
YES!!! She's done that and so much more!!!!
i miss Rosie's show i love how much she apreciated the Broadway performers
The part that always gets me is that she makes singing such a hard song look so effortless.
I've had to sing this song a couple of times and I can say that LaChanze really is on another level!
LaChanze is a breathe taking talent! I get chills everytime I hear her. She's like a beam of Sunlight illuminating a dark & cold planet!
Wow... I forgot how amazing she sounds singing that song.
i guess I'm kinda off topic but do anybody know a good website to stream new movies online?
@Demetrius Jaylen Lately I have been using FlixZone. Just search on google for it =)
@Toby Issac yup, been using flixzone for since march myself :)
@Toby Issac thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) Appreciate it !
@Demetrius Jaylen glad I could help :)
she makes this look so effortless .. wow .. this song is so difficult but she literally sang it with no issues IMAGINEEEE
I am so sorry that I became a fan so late.
She is amazing. She has opened up the flood gates of my mind for the love of Broadway Musical.. LONG LIVE THE MUSICAL!!!!!!!!
Her technique is amazing Those vowels!
another underrated artist.
....i didn't know it was physically possible to do that.....
Love the lyrics! Fabulous performance LaChanze!
Talk about something that makes you bust out crying when you find it on TH-cam! LaChanze is just AMAZING!!!
Who the hell is that? Lechanze is a freak of nature. She sounds so magnificent belting up there!
wow over 10 years later and she is still belting it just like yesterday!
It's so hard to find a good version of this song on TH-cam because NO ONE DOES IT BETTER THAN LACHANZE!!!!
Morgan Dukes No there’s Hailey Kilgore who does it better. The revival is SOOOO much better

Christopher McMorris they cant have an opinion damn
I LOVED LOREN LOTT (the understudy) it just held so much power
Some of these comments are insane. She needs a voice lesson??? This is in A Major??? I have lost hope in the future.
This song here is in B Major, which is very impressive.
Every time she does the belting high note i have a total nerdgasm. Omigodomigodomigod I WISH I COULD DO THAT
BRAVO!!!
She voiced the Muse of Dance Terpsichore in Hercules.
Are you serious?!
I'm serious!!
How did I not know this?! I have watch Hercules and pay attention this time!
This girl is absolutely amazing!!! In June 2006 I took my mother to see the Color Purple on Broadway we sat on the third row center stage and that was on Father's Day that was the best $250per seat I spent. I have no regrets. Me and my mother really enjoyed the show.
Steve Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens wrote this so damn high, but La Chanze can somehow handle it. It's incredible.
I listen to the OOTI original cast sdtk all the time. Lachanze is amazing. Thanks for posting!
I love this musical so much, my school just did the junior version but I still understand the whole plot
Jen Nolet I'm actually using this song for an audition, but I'm using the Jr. version because this version is a little too high for me XD
Freaking GODDESS! I would've love to have seen the show when she played Ti Moune!
omg I get chills listening to this song! shes amazing! my high school is doing this as our spring musical and this song and The Sad Tale of the Beauxhommes are my favsies!
Sublime. Beyond georgous. She is a stunner also. Her technique is flawless. Take us to school
Good god I love her. I saw a local production of this last night and all I could think about was LaChanze belting .... the girl playing the part did not live up to my expectations. lol. LOVE YOU LACHANZE! GET IT GIRL GET IT!!!!!!
Such a Belting Queen. :D AMAZED
This song is so much harder to sing than she makes it look
Wow, did she really just belt that whole thing? No mix?
She's low key a queen
Right Rosie, her voice kills me too!!! Go Lachanze ;)
I remember watching Syesha Mercado from last seasons AI singing this on youtube. But the video got removed!
It was a really good rendition.
This is incredible too.
Wow Goosebumps! Such Control over her beautiful voice :)
I have loved this since 1993 when it was my Senior Year High School musical.
Beautiful Performance! I love her1
Daaaamn. That's what I call talent.
nickmandl yeah it hurts my throat too because I'm stupid enough to try to sing along...
She’s so good
Lachanze is freaking amazing
LaChanze is AMAZING!! I want to be her when I grow up!
She is so amazingly talented and so is her daughter! Catch her daughter in Jagged Little Pill if Broadway ever opens up again.
AMAZING!!
always a favorite of mine!
i love her...i love this musical..

Man...if she went mainstream....she would do some SERIOUS damage! But that's good she hasn't though. The music industry is all jacked up.
Haha i just noticed that they're in a jamacian setting and the temperature is 45 outsideXD
@Veniola so controlled though.... she's perfect for the role...
Incredible.....
I auditioned for her part in my school play!...i really hope i get it!!!!!

[TI MOUNE]
A stranger in white in a car
Going somewhere
Going far
How it must feel to go racing wherever you please
Flying as free as a bird with his tail in the breeze
Even the fish in the sea must be longing to fly
Catching a glimpse of a stranger in white racing by
Oh, gods
Oh, gods
Are you there?
What can I do
To get you to look down and give in?
Oh, gods
Oh, gods
Hear my prayer
I’m here in the field
With my feet on the ground
And my fate in the air
Waiting for life to begin!

Don’t you remember your little Ti Moune from the tree?
Wake up!
Look down!
Hear my prayer!
Don’t single me out
And then forget me!
