@@Bettyboop08 that's not true. They didn't stand because she's a soulful singer, even though they were taken back they didn't know how to process it.... No one could sing like Fantasia back then or even now
I can almost feel all her ancestral spirits stand up to be counted as she sings! That voice doesn't come by accident. It's willful and I'm privileged to bare witness to it.
Renoir Fantasia deserves to be recognized. She is so much more than a singer or entertainer. She is an educator too every time she takes off her shoes starts to stomp and wail. I've never seen such heartfelt African celebration style dancing and singing. I'm in awe.
I listened to this right before I defended my dissertation today, 10/31/2023. Such a soul-stirring and motivational song for Black women. Thank you, Fantasia! ❤❤❤
And performed "I'm Here" at the 2024 Oscars. Fantasia is already getting Oscars predictions and the movie doesn't come out until Christmas 2023. She is a front runner for Best Actress.
What I've always admired about Fantasia is that she doesn't just sing, she emotes. You literally see her tearing up towards the end, struggling to sing, "I'm beautiful." That's what makes her renditions different from others. She really feels the words she's singing and her delivery takes you on that journey with her.
@@Dion_Mustard actually the people u name love Fantasia even the queen herself invited Fantasia to do many tributes to her and she sang at her furneral
@@treyjones1958 they're just being nice those other artists, trying to keep their names relevant with the modern day singers, doing it for attention etc. patti labelle and gladys knight would never have welcomed fantasia into the studio back in the 60s.
No disrespect to Cynthia Erivo or Jennifer Hudson, who are both AMAZING singers, but Fantasia just SELLS the song and sings it with such CONVICTION-- she was the perfect choice to play Celie!
To compare this version to her Broadway performance is ridiculous. It is obvious that she was asked to sing as herself in this video. Watching her last Broadway performance gives me chills every time I watch it. There is something about the way she carries herself and how there is a clear shift in her body language as she progresses through the song. POWERFULLY MOVING is how you describe the level of vulnerability and triumph she gives this song.
I think they should have picked Fantasia to sing this song when Oprah was honored at the Kennedy Center. Jennifer Hudson is great, but Fantasia is in ANOTHER CATEGORY. She doesn't need two, three notes to move you ... she just needs ONE, the first one that comes out of her mouth. Period. Every single word she sings has a lifetime of meaning behind it. What a gift!
I think you're right. I haven't gotten to see Fantasia act (or even sing that much, either), but I get the impression she really digs in to the soul and meaning. I certainly admire Jennifer H., but I also look forward to seeing her grow as an actress (including acting songs like this one), because she has much more depth to find, if she can.
@@Eric407851 yes indeed. Sad that in our own community is what can mess our girls up. Most ppl are told that dark skin is ugly. I'm light skinned and my mom always said I was ugly. I have four granddaughters,all different shades of black. And we tell them they are beautiful in the skin they are in. We teach them to lift each other up. Fantasia has and will always be my girl...
Yes, I saw her too in 2008. I had just come back from Iraq the year before, and watching her on Broadway in The Color Purple is what gave me a true appreciation for her unmatched gift from God above. She did the same in the movie that I was blessed to be able to watch on Christmas Day. I am thankful to have the pleasure of witnessing one of the greatest vocal talents on history to perform live on Broadway and then reprise the role in the movie.
I hate when someone sings their heart out and then the audience sits there and gives a tepid clap like they too good to get up and give the person the standing ovation that they deserve!
Tears.This woman is an inspiration to all who have had those X's by their names.Being told you're ugly, to black,to fat, to skinny, to poor, to white, your nose is to long, to big, unwed mother, ex con, high school drop out, etc.. She stepped out on faith and said why not me. I know I have these problems and I know what people say about me, but I'm here for a reason. Sharing her gift, to lift up hearts to inspire.Glad she saw her own worth and not let folk stop her.. Yes TASIA you are HERE!
This Girl is Amazing !......... she has so much range and tone quality .....music industry is on this light skinned bullshit!!! this girl is a cold blooded DIVA with REAL Talent !!!
Her tone is ugly as hell, she’s a technical beast, but I can only take so much of that abrasive nasal tone. I much prefer her as a character in a show where that tone is broken up between other performers, but I can’t do a full album of just her. She moves me with her soul, but there’s nothing she can do about that God given tone, it’s a love it or hate it type of thing.
NO ONE DOES THIS SONG JUSTICE BUT HER!! NO ONE CAN SING IT LIKE HER, JUST LIKE NO ONE CAN SING "I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU "BY THE ONE ONLY WHITNEY. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE LOVE LOVE FANTASIA!!!!!!!
Let this be a testament to what happens when you REMAIN the person you are. Because there will be a day reckoning you wont see coming. BRAVA FANTASIA, the 2023 remake is just as astounding!
Jennifer and Fantasia both are power houses. Vocals beyond anyone one of our imaginations. They are both in the same category as Whitney Houston. They are all different in their talents, but not one is more talented than the other. I appreciate each and every one of their voices for what they are and that's utter music to my ears. I can sit and listen to anyone of the three women I mentioned for hours on end, and still want more. Bless those vocals.
The vocal coaching she gleaned while performing in this play shows in her later performances of this song. Her mid belts and control intensified, and her resonance and clarity improved.
I agree. Her Broadway experiences have done wonders to her vocals. How Fantasia approaches a song now is totally different than how she would have Pre-Broadway. That’s what I’m excited to see in her reprisal in the film adaptation, how she will approach the role all these years later, I just know whatever it looks like it will be beautiful.. again.
I love her interpretation of this.. she is venerable, strong and feels what she is singing. Which is what you need for that character “Celie” . The passion and the venerable is what stood out to me from the rest. Bravo Fantasia
I love the "realness" in her voice. You know this song is personal. It's like this was her reply when she heard what someone said about her. I get chills hearing her sing.
I saw Fantasia on broadway, and it's definitely a powerful memory. There were times when the show seemed more than she could carry, and then moments where she was the only thing I cared about in the universe. But, the joy of this performance is the larger picture. Fantasia Barrino was not supposed to be here. Her life story and the things that happened definitely hurt her ability to share her art earlier/sooner/better. There isn't much she can do about that, except she can infuse all of that into this moment. Cause, one of the joys of musical theater, is the ability to turn a song or lyric into a moment. A great song in a show is never just a song, and wherever and whenever you carry that song, you carry a character, a story, an arc, or just a moment in a person's life that feels real. Fantasia ain't Celie, but somehow, when she sings her about her children, about the things she can still hold on to, about the hard and easy days, about the beauty in her that it took some hard days to finally see? That's not words on a page but an entire life she can communicate in a few minutes of singing. A friend of mine saw Fantasia on broadway multiple times and said that often she would be crying through most of the show. However, she could still communicate the character and emotion of the moment well enough to make an entire audience of New Yorkers bawl their eyes out 8 times a week. And the fact that I still cry every time I come back to this video a decade later? That's some amazing stuff.
The right amount of power. The right amount of emotional conviction. The right amount of clarity. Beautiful phrasing. Beautiful melismas. The colors. The range. The FEELS. A masterclass performance. Wow Fantasia
Everyone has to realize that she was playing cellie, and all the thing that she endured when she was married to Mister...Fantasia puts emotions in her song, because she can relate to cellie

Lol
That crowd did not deserve that masterpiece.
No they didn't AT ALL!!!
Yo, foreal!
You know they were racist and colorist.
i agree. lazy m.f. they should've stand up
Amen
After fantasia sung her heart out on this song she deserved a standing ovation
Definitely. 100%.
But back then everybody could sang.
If she did this today ppl would be crying lol
@@Bettyboop08 that's not true. They didn't stand because she's a soulful singer, even though they were taken back they didn't know how to process it.... No one could sing like Fantasia back then or even now
Yes, she did. But, that walk off. Man, she was saying something
Yes she did, wow!
You Are Sooo Right!!! I could not believe "No One" gave her a standing ovation!!!
Fantasia is such a star. I’m rooting for her to snatch that Best Actress Oscar so hard.
ME TOO
That would be amazing
Me too. She's the only singer who moves my spirit. Love her so much. Please be amazing Fantasia!!!!
I can almost feel all her ancestral spirits stand up to be counted as she sings! That voice doesn't come by accident. It's willful and I'm privileged to bare witness to it.
What a great comment!
YES!
My God, your comment is thee absolute best. It's so utterly perfect
Renoir Fantasia deserves to be recognized. She is so much more than a singer or entertainer. She is an educator too every time she takes off her shoes starts to stomp and wail. I've never seen such heartfelt African celebration style dancing and singing. I'm in awe.
Wow I was just saying that, she has an "old soul"....I hear the matriarchs speak when she sings.
I listened to this right before I defended my dissertation today, 10/31/2023. Such a soul-stirring and motivational song for Black women. Thank you, Fantasia! ❤❤❤
congratulations!!! for your PhD? That's awesome
Congrats
Congratulations!!
Congratulations ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She sings as if God personally gave her this song of affirmation!
He did lol
Amen
Yes He did
She better get that Oscar for the movie adaptation!!
There is a movie already..
@@nikininehundred4866 There is movie adaptation of the Broadway musical coming out next year. They filmed it already this past Spring and Summer.

@@joshuamcdowell9745 LISTEN FROM THE TRAILER, Sis better be staring at those award shows next season
Lamest crowd EVER . This is the best Tony performances I’ve ever witnessed. Thank you Fantasia… blown away ❤❤❤😢
Music is nothing without emotion. Fantasia is magnificent at pouring emotion and soul into what she sings.
Amen to that!!
No one compares! Besides a huge beautiful powerful sweet voice
Jen has the attitude cynthia has the range, tasia has the power, and the passion.
Well said!!!!
She said she felt Cellie when she played her
When she says I'm beautiful it hits me. You can tell she had to learn to believe every word and came out victorious.
2022 and this is still in my top 10 Tony performances.
same 100%!
Mine too! Still gives me chills!
Same! Truly a spectacular performance
Yes I have some days when this is what I need!
Correct!!!!!
She sung the Hell out of this song, go Tasia
Yes she did ,over and over again I cry
Speak! White washed mentalities. Tasia is bomb!
amen- i was waitin for her shoes to come off.

So annoying that people didn't get up. unless its the editing... She killed that . Her voice is so powerful and it gives me goosebumps..
+Savian Amural thats because she sings so good that you have to sit and admire her voice. (No Distractions)
Snobs
Darion right... you know you got all those maga they have no soul anyway. That ending alone was enough to ask God to please forgive you for your sins
I thought this was worth a standing ovation...PERIODT!
So true
I have been waiting years for someone to sing this song better than she has. It hasn't happened yet.
Jennifer had a whole choir with her and still couldn’t 😂
@@jermainecopeland232 Right!
Fantasia said honey I’m singing at the TONY awards. I gotta give it to them!
And leave them some for next week too 😂
No one. And I mean NOBODY can sing this song with the same passion as Fantasia.❤️❤️❤️❤️
i am sorry she's dreadful. listen to someone like gladys knight or aretha franklin then you will understand what true soul singing sounds like.

There's a reason she won idol. She's a star. She has the "it" factor. Her voice moves anyone who listens to her. She's Fantasia ❤

As much as I adore Cynthia erivo, I think this is still the best version for me. Tasia made me FEEL this one !
2024 Oscar winning song and Best Leading Actress Fantasia Barrino-Taylor 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
At the end of the day … after all of the versions … I always return back to Fantasia’s!!!
Cynthia Erivo killed it tho.
Jennifer Hudson this song better than anyone
Cynthia did it for me
But I love fantasa
How is the audience able to remain seated during and after such a raw and powerful performance?!!!
She took it to church...some folks taint used to that...lol
Ceemoore67
Snobs have no soul.
because it wasn’t good.
Cuz this song isn’t one to make you jump it’s one that kinda just takes your body through all the emotions it goes through
That's the most uptight crowd ever, in history!!..

Reggie Black kmsl Chile bye. Both can sing but Fantasia did way better then Jennifer on this song.
I respect you're opinion but I don't in any way agree with it . Fantasia is in her own lane , period !!!
So glad, ELATED that this queen has taken her rightful place as Celie on screen in 2023.
It's 2023 and "I'm Here!"....Wow, this performance is so ridiculously amazing that it still gives me chills! #Bravo Fantasia
This is still one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen.
I don’t care who sing this her version will always be my favorite
So happy for Fantasia. She’s going to get an Oscar for the film adaptation. The magic shines through even in the trailer.
Fantasia won the movie role as Celia. Bravo well deserved
That I'm beautiful hits hard. She never thought she was beautiful. Even a a little girl...I HAVE ALWAYS SAID SHE'S GORGEOUS
This! & the way she has evolved over the years she is BEYOND gorgeous!! & you can tell that it comes from a pure place from within.

Who's on here listening to every version of this song available on repeat after watching the new movie. Fantasia is on another level.
This is THE BEST PERFORMANCE of this song...ugh, chills
And that perfomace gave me a teary-eyed especially the near ending part. Fantasia really has the voice that could stir your emotions inside.
Make sure u go stream her latest hit enough
Agree me toooooo that part its that But most of all Im thankful for loving who I really am............................ My GOD

Same! I dont go to the movies but am going for this.
She deserved a standing ovation. Felt that down to my bones. 💖💚💙💛

And I’m back again in 2023 to get this masterpiece ❤
Hey 2023
Listening to her sing this in 2010 and hearing her sing it in 2024 is a full circle moment. You hear the growth in every breath.
This is why they chose her to play lead in the film. WELL DONE FANTASIA I see an Oscar coming your way!

They couldn't appreciate her. Timing is everything! Now is her time!
Fantasia NEVER just sings a song, she puts her whole soul into it and makes every person that listens to her FEEL her emotions....

TO THIS DAY- in my opinion, NOBODY sang this the way Fantasia did 🏆
I have seen many Broadway shows. Fantasia's performance was the best I have ever seen. Not a dry eye in the house.
Fantasia was going through in her person life, and she was able to become Celie.
No matter what it is, EVERY video of Fantasia singing she puts her SOUL into EVERY performance!!!!
