I would like to point out that she got a MASSIVE standing ovation after this. Like she barely finished that last line and everyone, every last person in that room, was on their feet. It was an incredible moment. She was standing there looking like a true queen.
@@alwaysbam she definitely was robbed I don’t even remember what song from rocket man was nominated which is saying something cause I loved that movie.
@@Ameliamaemay1990 not everything needs to be a debate. Whether a song has at least 2 writers (or more), she didn't write nor was apart of the process by herself
@@TheCutiepie2004 she didn’t do it herself but I suppose if you think everything doesn’t need to be a debate why did you feel the need to correct the op? They aren’t lying.
Agreed! Just a brilliant way to end a song from the perspective of Harriet Tubman. Such a beautiful choice and how it ends in a haunting tone rather than some “feel good” vibe really speaks to the struggle. It’s just a masterpiece.
Fun fact- the last lines in this song, "I go to prepare a place for you", were actually Harriet Tubman's last words. I think it's a very beautiful tribute.
I actually think Cynthia has THE perfect voice. I remember how stunned I was the first time I heard her, and just had to gather every recording to save to my music library 😂 I’d love to see you do more reactions to her! I’m hoping Voctave do some more Disney medleys for you to react to again as well 😆
She is currently my favourite. I haven't heard her sing anything that sounded anything but amazing imo. She's stunning. Also, I love how she performs with mostly her eyes while singing. It's subtle and so effective.
Omg, SAME! First time I heard her was on the movie Beyond the Lights with "Fly Before Fall" and her voice absolutely took my breath away. I had to know who she was!
Cynthia and Shoshana Bean singing a duet of "there can be miracles" from the prince of egypt. They filmed it during lockdown last year so they're not even in the same space but it's just fabulous
As a person who hasn't sung in a looong time. This performance fills me with so much inspiration, awe, a bit of jealousy (let's keep it real), and a big huge smile.
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but Hannah wears puff sleeves on like every shirt and I am LIVING for it. This lady can pull off puff sleeves like no one else
I can’t believe I’ve lived 26 years without listening to this amazing goddess. I’m so moved by her voice, her performance and THIS song OMG. Amazing!!!!! Thanks for this video. I’m so glad I bumped into your channel!!
@Cynthia Erivo Please write anytime. I am going back to watch your Aretha Franklin for TV. There were many many many times because of your voice and your acting within it, I forgot it was not Aretha. Wonderful to taken there by you. Thank you.
I 100% squealed with joy when I saw that!! Imagine her voice on Defying Gravity!!!???? I cannot wait either. And her acting? Omg. I'm gonna sob watching it already know.
I love how in all the reactions I've watched, people are literally obsessing over her low notes and talking about how LOW they are and then there's me, a 17 yo alto singer that sings on those low keys on a norm😂😂🤚🏾
I'm 17 and I'm an Alto too. I love love love singing low rather than taking higher notes. People call me a lazy singer because of that. But I just love singing low😂
Oh man you should react to Cynthia Erivo and Shoshana Bean singing “I did something bad” Live at the Apollo or “with a little help from my friends” live at the Apollo
And if you are a singer.. can we mention how difficult it is to switch from a minor key to a major key within the same line of the song.. then switch back and forth between the minor and major scales.. within the mixing of her head chest and throat voice.. just beyond amazing
This is a very big song. The opening always gets me every time she fills the stage. All you are aware of is her presence. Then the precision of her voice, even though it is soft, just draws you in almost physically. Then you are trapped and along for the ride. She knows precisely how to push her voice to the limits . I have heard all her songs, live recordings, and studio and I have never heard her waste a note. Every note, word, and her body language makes it living. The first video I saw of Cynthia was a song "Anything worth holding onto" with Scott Allan l. After that song I was hooked for life. If there was only 1 voice, I had to hear for the rest of my life (I hope that never happens, so many great artists) it would be Cynthia Erivo.
This woman can sing so low and high and this song rlly shows it. It's my favourite song to sing in the car with her, even tho I can't reach everything. Could you react to Aurora? She is one of my favourite singers right now, not only her voice, but also her character 💞
I fell in love with her voice before I saw her face or knew anything about her. When the Hugh Jackman video of "From Now On" was going viral, the one where he talks about having surgery the day before the big performance to get the movie "The Greatest Showman" greenlit. He couldn't sing, but they had a stand in (Jeremy Jordan, I think). At the four minute mark a voice cuts through the chorus. The camera pans through this rehearsal looking room to a gorgeous woman standing on a box singing her face off. I made a private deal with God. If I have to come back again, I want her voice and her body. It was another year before I figured out who she was. CYNTHIA ERIVO 👑
I'm not sure if you've seen it already, but if not, I definitely think you should react to Shoshana Bean and Cynthia Erivo's cover of "I did something bad"
Her performance gave me the chills down my spine. I heard of her only of this song. She is beyond amazing and beautiful. She is gorgeous in general like wow. Speechless of her performance.
Please do more cynthia erivo reactions! She's simply incomparable A performance thats really amazing of hers is her singing "imagine" at (I believe) the 2017 glaad awards. And another wonderful performance is a duet she did with shoshana bean. They did a cover of Taylor Swifts "i did something bad" and it is incredible. The live version in particular is everything.
Okay, okay, okay. This is a must for Cynthia Erivo reactions: the video(s) of her doing the sing anything challenge on the RUclips channel TERRELL are divine. He weeps almost as much as you in the video
Also, she did a song association with another RUclipsr on his channel, Terrell. She does many genres and it just makes you angry. Talk about her knowing her voice!!! Part 1 - ruclips.net/video/DmLAXuWLBu0/видео.html Part 2 - ruclips.net/video/hv4H_ziaAG4/видео.html
This was my introduction to Cynthia and I keep going back to watch it over and over again. And I love Terrell but those are the episodes I keep going back to.
Hannah, you need to watch the movie Harriet! Whether you react to it on your channel or not… Her performance is freaking stunning! So poignant and powerful… She only sings a little bit, but it’s incredible.
If I could wish anything for you, it would be for you to see Cynthia LIVE. I sat in the front of the theater for The Color Purple, and she melted my face with I Am Here!
Yessss to everyone asking for a reaction to Cynthia Erivo & Shoshana Bean singing "I Did Something Bad". Their music video together is badass, but I'd LOOOVE to see you react to their Live at the Apollo version (where you can really see them interact w each other and play off each other)....it's ICONIC! 🙌😍
...Lol Shoshana (hilariously) flubs a line a bit in the middle at the Apollo - prob bc she's entranced by Cynthia, like the rest of us - but the whole thing is so fun, and their vocals are naaasty, as ever, in the best way! :) Their live "A Little Help From My Friends" at the Apollo is a banger, too...just can't go wrong with that pair!
i actually watched this performance like a lot of times. but something about a reaction video make u notice things and appreciate things that you didn't before. Cynthia literally stood there and made all of those notes without even trying. She didn't move from her spot throughout the entire performance and that is soooo impressive. her voice is literally so powerful and beautiful.
Without a doubt, the most powerful performance I have every witnessed. She exudes confidence, stardom , and genius with her tallent and skills. I am appauld Cynthia Erivo did not get the Oscar for this. I cry everytime I hear this song and think about Harriett Tubman and her struggles through life! Cynthia performed this song with perfection and dignity! This performance and portrayal is one of the most brillant pieces published on the screen!
All of her music is amazing but one song of hers in particular always makes me cry, It's called "You're not here" and if you listen to it you actually have to incision what she is saying.
I am obsessed with cynthia erivo!! I am a competitive dancer and the song I used for my solo last year “Anything Worth Holding On To” is by her! you should react to another song of hers called “You’re Not Here” it’s amazing! And while i’m talking about song reaction recommendations, there is this SUPER underrated song by Dua Lipa called “Homesick” and its so amazing and beautiful!
The fact that she went there and did that performance and still didn't win the award....
It didn't matter to her
What matters is she make her voice heard and she sing the hell out of that song
She deserve even better than an award
I’m still so pissed she didn’t win..
She deserves her EGOT so much!! Come on Academy Awards, pull it together!
She deserved it more than anyone im sorry
There is not a single time I've listened to Cynthia and not cried. She truly is ethereal.
I love her on the Terrell Show 💗💗. Have you seen it??
Girl me!!!
Extremely Accurate. The tears have minds of their own.
Omg sameeeeeeee
Yupp 😭❤️
I would like to point out that she got a MASSIVE standing ovation after this. Like she barely finished that last line and everyone, every last person in that room, was on their feet. It was an incredible moment. She was standing there looking like a true queen.
As she should😌
And then she DIDNT WIN THE OSCAR 😡😡😡
And somehow they turned around and gave the Oscar to Elton John wtfff
@@alwaysbam she definitely was robbed I don’t even remember what song from rocket man was nominated which is saying something cause I loved that movie.
@@alwaysbam for real like i wanted to cry
And it’s so important to her. She WROTE THIS. You can just imagine Tubman singing this!
she co wrote this song with Joshuah Brian Campbell, not just her
@@TheCutiepie2004 true but she was a part of the process. Most songs have at least two writers. So she co-wrote it, she still “wrote” it.
“Weight on my shoulders and a bullet in my gun/I’ve got eyes in the back of my head in case I need to run” woaaaaaahhhhhh chills! Chills. Chills.
@@Ameliamaemay1990 not everything needs to be a debate. Whether a song has at least 2 writers (or more), she didn't write nor was apart of the process by herself
@@TheCutiepie2004 she didn’t do it herself but I suppose if you think everything doesn’t need to be a debate why did you feel the need to correct the op? They aren’t lying.
What makes the ending so much more emotional, is that Harriet Tubman's last words were "I go to prepare a place for you"
Absolutely. It's a biblical allusion to John 14:2.
Agreed! Just a brilliant way to end a song from the perspective of Harriet Tubman. Such a beautiful choice and how it ends in a haunting tone rather than some “feel good” vibe really speaks to the struggle. It’s just a masterpiece.
The fact that she sang this BEAUTIFULLY and still didn’t win the award angers me
@mooniesimps wtf this person seriously think they can fool ppl lol
THIS WOMAN GIVES ME CHILLS EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO HER SING!!
Same
Me too amazing woman
OMG SAME!
Same, and I love it every time
"What can she not do" is the most accurate description of Cynthia Erivo ever.
Also, Cynthia Erivo For Elphaba in the Wicked Movie!
YES!!!! i commented the same!! absolutely they should cast her
She would be absolutely PERFECT as Elphaba in Wicked.
Yes!Yes!She can act,sing and has a killer voice
Yes.
She got it
Fun fact- the last lines in this song, "I go to prepare a place for you", were actually Harriet Tubman's last words. I think it's a very beautiful tribute.
It’s so powerful because she sings with her soul, all her ancestors sing through her and with her.
the choir vocals in the back are immaculate
@Cynthia Erivo PLSSS
@Cynthia Erivo stop I thought this was fr
Yesss they sounded heavenlyyyyy
@Cynthia Erivo girl if u don’t 💀we know it’s not actually Cynthia
I actually think Cynthia has THE perfect voice. I remember how stunned I was the first time I heard her, and just had to gather every recording to save to my music library 😂 I’d love to see you do more reactions to her! I’m hoping Voctave do some more Disney medleys for you to react to again as well 😆
I think SECOND. Celine Dion is just at the top for me.
She is currently my favourite. I haven't heard her sing anything that sounded anything but amazing imo. She's stunning. Also, I love how she performs with mostly her eyes while singing. It's subtle and so effective.
Omg, SAME! First time I heard her was on the movie Beyond the Lights with "Fly Before Fall" and her voice absolutely took my breath away. I had to know who she was!
Cynthia Erivo is so freaking amazing! I can't listen to her with getting chills.
R.I.P to Harriet Tubman the Queen herself🙏🏾❤️🪦🕊
I literally NEVER get chills. Her voice gives me chills every. Single. Time.
so you do not really NEVER get chills?
Cynthia and Shoshana Bean singing a duet of "there can be miracles" from the prince of egypt. They filmed it during lockdown last year so they're not even in the same space but it's just fabulous
the duet song you are asking for with Cynthia and Shoshana Bean is called 'When you believe' not 'there can be miracles' XD
I think U mean When U Believe not There can be miracles
She won’t do Shoshana for some reason
@@Thesarcasticdom she won’t? How come? 😭
@@shirelle1993 people have been requesting on so many videos for months and nothing. Not even an acknowledgment…
"What can she not do?" - NOTHING! Such a queen 👑❤
As a person who hasn't sung in a looong time. This performance fills me with so much inspiration, awe, a bit of jealousy (let's keep it real), and a big huge smile.
Stop faking
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but Hannah wears puff sleeves on like every shirt and I am LIVING for it. This lady can pull off puff sleeves like no one else
Cynthia Erivo's range is so amazing. She has so much power and control wherever on the scale she is and she is so beautiful to listen to
I can’t believe I’ve lived 26 years without listening to this amazing goddess. I’m so moved by her voice, her performance and THIS song OMG. Amazing!!!!! Thanks for this video. I’m so glad I bumped into your channel!!
Cynthia Erivo makes me cry or get goose bumps. I consider it a privilege in this life to hear her voice and how beautifully she creates a new world.
@Cynthia Erivo Please write anytime. I am going back to watch your Aretha Franklin for TV. There were many many many times because of your voice and your acting within it, I forgot it was not Aretha. Wonderful to taken there by you. Thank you.
She makes it sound easy to sing this. Stunning
And now she’s playing Elphaba in the Wicked movie. Can’t wait.
I 100% squealed with joy when I saw that!! Imagine her voice on Defying Gravity!!!???? I cannot wait either. And her acting? Omg. I'm gonna sob watching it already know.
Did you just say wicked movie?????????
I love how in all the reactions I've watched, people are literally obsessing over her low notes and talking about how LOW they are and then there's me, a 17 yo alto singer that sings on those low keys on a norm😂😂🤚🏾
@JAZENIA SMITH well good to know I'm not the only one 😭❤
Look up Callie Day
I'm 17 and I'm an Alto too. I love love love singing low rather than taking higher notes. People call me a lazy singer because of that. But I just love singing low😂
It’s not that she is singing low, it’s the fact she is a true soprano singing that low.
Oh man you should react to Cynthia Erivo and Shoshana Bean singing “I did something bad” Live at the Apollo or “with a little help from my friends” live at the Apollo
“I Did Something Bad”, please!!!
Had the pleasure of seeing her perform live twice and I had chills the entire time! Being in her presence was just magical ✨
And if you are a singer.. can we mention how difficult it is to switch from a minor key to a major key within the same line of the song.. then switch back and forth between the minor and major scales.. within the mixing of her head chest and throat voice.. just beyond amazing

Cynthia's voice is the "performance" PERIOD!!!
“the color purple (reprise)” from the musical is another great song that shows off her countless singing abilities!
I fell in love with her voice before I saw her face or knew anything about her.

Ditto!
I'm not sure if you've seen it already, but if not, I definitely think you should react to Shoshana Bean and Cynthia Erivo's cover of "I did something bad"
omg yessss :D
x1000
Yes, please!
What is sad is that she’s not mainstream because she’s a musical theatre performer. To me the greatest vocalists are Broadway Performers. 🖤
Hannah, Cynthia was actually classically trained as a lyric soprano!
There’s a vid of her singing this in the recording studio that goes even higher, like 3 key changes, and it’s amazing!!!
Oh my god. She made me cry. WOWWWW how beautiful and effortless is her voice.
"I wasn't paying attention enough to fully appreciate that"...literally me most of the time
Her performance gave me the chills down my spine. I heard of her only of this song. She is beyond amazing and beautiful. She is gorgeous in general like wow. Speechless of her performance.
Cynthia's version of Still Hurting makes me cry every time
i dropped everything to be here and that’s because i LOVE cynthia erivo and i LOVE. hannah just as much and the two of them in one video- beautiful!
I totally agree
her voice gives me chills every time without fail
Love how you can see the story she is telling in her voice. Love..
Please do more cynthia erivo reactions! She's simply incomparable

It was a song association game
YES YES YES and Amber Riley and Noah's!!!! MUST watch
Just one question: How can it be that much better than the studio version ?!? That's... speechless 😮
Oh, I love this song. The movie is amazing. Also, you should watch/react to Big Time Rush!
Omgoshhh YES!
I love how her low notes are smooth and I love the style of her voice her voice is beautiful
She is beyond talented!! So happy she is getting the attention and recognition she is so deserving of!
Also, she did a song association with another RUclipsr on his channel, Terrell. She does many genres and it just makes you angry. Talk about her knowing her voice!!!

that was my fav episode out of the whole season, terrell knows what he’s doing getting ppl like Cynthia
This was my introduction to Cynthia and I keep going back to watch it over and over again. And I love Terrell but those are the episodes I keep going back to.
You should definitely react to her cover of “A piece of sky” 🖤
Love it
I literally just recommended that without looking at the comments first but I totally agree
^^^ please hannah!
YES YES YES
Yes please, it’s so good 🙏🏽
Hannah, you need to watch the movie Harriet! Whether you react to it on your channel or not… Her performance is freaking stunning! So poignant and powerful… She only sings a little bit, but it’s incredible.
The lyrics and her voice just kill me. I cry.
she is a literal GODDESS 💓💓 you should also react to tori kelly!!!
Oh hell yes I love her 😍🤣
Can we just talk about how beautiful Hannah always looks in each and every one of her videos. Like damn girl. Lots of love 😚❤
I am so happy I came across your reaction! It was so genuine! This was great. Also I loved this performance and Cynthia I’d definitely a goddess.
I can’t listen to this without getting face chills lmao, she’s amazing
Her Tony awards performance of Can You Feel the love tonight is my all time favorite
Hannah looks so pretty 😭😭

I love this song/performance. It always gives me chills and puts a massive smile on my face.
Thank you for reacting to this. I was changed after seeing this performance as well!
Yay! Finally. I've been waiting for this reaction video for a year!!!
It might be kinda long for a reaction but you should definitely at least just watch her interview/ song association video with "TERRELL". it's AMAZING
Goosebumps every time this goddess sings.
I always enjoy Cynthia’s technique. Seeing the amount of air she takes in in the beginning of her phrases...amazing
1 year after your reaction, this was almost 3 years ago n i still get chills everywhere and tears
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!
THIS SONG MAKES ME FEEL INSPIRED. THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO HER
omg!! we're singing this song in choir rn and it is so, SO AMAZING to sing.
Goosebumps everything time
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG!!! Love ur videos btw.
She has such a beautiful range.
An amazing underrated artist. One of our best.
Hannah you’re great! Cynthia is incredible. Would love to see you react to her and JHud signing The Color Purple together!
Who Else CRIED!! Just So Beautiful!!
Hannah, it would be great if you could react to The Flash musical episode. It's really great + Jeremy Jordan's in it and i think you'd really like it.
I just got chills- oml
How is she not crying ? This song is so powerful that I always tear up x)
Absolute MASTERCLASS from Cynthia there ! Absolute masterclass ! What a voice !!
i had CHILLS the first time i listened to this song 👏🏽
*correction: every time i listen to this song
YEBBA - My Mind | Sofar NYC. I've rewatched this video countless times-- she has an amazing connection to the song and a voice from another dimenion
Your the reason how I am now a fan of Cynthia Erivo.
I LOVE her album!
I remember this performance like it was yesterday. I jumped out of the couch, chills all over
I got chills 😭❤️💯
She always gives me goosebumps ❤ I love her so much😍😍😍
Gave me goosebumps she is amazing
This is from “Harriet”! Where she played Harriet Tubman. And she was nominated for an Oscar for it. It was a GREAT FILM.
I know it’s not Halloween, but you should react to Voiceplay’s rendition of the Oogie Boogie song! I’ve been listening to it all day! It’s AMAZING!
YES!!!
Cynthia just released a new solo album. Would love to see you do some videos of her new original stuff. It's so good!
I love her too❤️❤️ SHE SAY OK OK I GOTTA TALK😂😂😂❤️ RIGHT HER VOICE SHOCKS YOU MORE LIKE MEMORIZING 👌🏾
All of her music is amazing but one song of hers in particular always makes me cry, It's called "You're not here" and if you listen to it you actually have to incision what she is saying.
I feel the same way you do.. speechless. And that song.. that song is insanely amazing.
I am obsessed with cynthia erivo!! I am a competitive dancer and the song I used for my solo last year “Anything Worth Holding On To” is by her! you should react to another song of hers called “You’re Not Here” it’s amazing!
