This was lovely. I watched your interview with Maria Shriver. You spoke of singing this in a sincere way. I googled you to find this. You were true and the medley was great. Thanks. Happy 4th. Brooklyn
Vanessa explained her song choices by her introduction, saying that her performance was dedicated to 'all the mothers who send their children out with the prayer that they return home safely.' Given the words, the medley is fitting.
I would like to preface this by saying Vanessa Williams was a fabulous host and has a beautiful presence. I was wondering about the song choice because of how these songs are used in the original works they came from, Sweeney Todd for the first song and West Side Story for the second. What these two songs have in common is how they evolve and are used thematically at the ends of both musicals. For Sweeney, the first song is sung by Tobias who goes mad, kills Todd and grinds his flesh to make meat pies. For the West Side Story this song is used after Tony is shot as he is dying. It’s meaning is that the “new way of living” and “forgiving” can only be found in the afterlife because they couldn’t live in peace as their society existed with such high racial tension. The music is beautiful, Vanessa was great, I just felt it was a strange time for these works based on our country’s current struggles.

If she did a Broadway album she would win a Grammy. Her diction is breathtaking.
Why hasn’t she done this
Yes 🙌🏾
Admired this woman for years. So glad she hosted and sang
Vanessa is simply perfect. Singing, acting, presentation, charm, everything ...... and yes, even what may be the most perfect dress ever!
I keep rewatching Ugly Betty because of Vanessa Williams. She's just incredible
The tone of her voice is so pure it sound like a voice of a 1000 years
The arrangement of Somewhere and the singing of it was so moving - I love it.
She is:
✅ Resilience
✅ Intelligence
✅ Kindness
✅ Beauty and Grace

Vanessa Williams is stunning. I’m just curious about the song choices for this 4th of July medley, especially the Sweeney Todd opening.

I figured she picked these to honor one of the greatest American composers.
