I love how she did the "it's me and not you." Her voice is always impressive, not just because it's powerful, but because it never seems forced or strained.
@@unitedkindom89 And Ben Platt said he'll definitely get an Oscar for "Dear Evan Hansen." The hard part of winning an Oscar is there are two slots that award them to actors every year (supporting/lead male or female). And 23 awards total with most going towards crew members. She might win one for writing an Original Song like Lady Gaga did.
@@johnsmi213 the dear evan hansen movie was a nepotistic attempt at a musical and it just crashed and burn. Cynthia Erivo works hard for all that she does and all she will so her getting an Oscar for an unbelievable performance is a hope for a good reason
So impressed by how versatile she is…. She doesn’t have “one sound” like some singers… she can do traditional old fashion show tunes flawlessly and also do contemporary r&b and pop. It is just incredible.
Her vocal control, range, and smoothness are spectacular. Her timing, articulation, and sharpness of pitch are remarkable, too. Outside of Streisand in her prime, this is the perhaps best live version of "Don't Rain On My Parade" that I ever recall seeing and hearing.
The way she sounds on any video, tv, interviews or anything is EXACTLY how she sounds LIVE!! SHE IS AMAZING OMFG. I’m so glad I got to see her HollywoodBowl debut!!
@@Musiclife-nw8qp She plays with volume throughout the entire intro. 1:20-2:11 I could be wrong, but at 1:40 she does a very small increase in volume then holds the note before descending again with vibrato kicking in toward the end of the phrase.
Everybody needs to shut up about Lea Michelle! She has got no style like cynthia and barbra have like in their pinky toe! And Lea thinks she has “arrived” but she has stilll sooo sooo much to learn!! Especially people’s skills
I really don’t know how she performs so perfectly!! Especially with all the beat changes and key changes and modulations and whew!!! She’s so friggin dope
She sings this like she's not even trying because she's not. That's how good she is. She doesn't even have to put any strain or force anything because she's that good.
I am a purist and a BIG "early Barbra" fan. I had heard Lillias do it and quite a few others including LM and also saw Julie Benko live. NOBODY BUT CYNTHIA comes close to Barbra. It's all about the sass and power of the sustained notes. And not sustaining straight tone. Her voice just works incredibly well for this. My only regret is not seeing her live in person for Color Purple. I simply must see her someday.
I'm a big early Barbra fan also, and this performance is lovely. The beginning is different and I like it! However, there's one thing I disagree with you on. Lilias' performs is, in my personal opinion, far and away better than this one. It's in a class all its own. Almost like "I Will Always Love You." Obviously, the original sung by Dolly is so special and can't be touched for that reason. But then Whitney got a hold of it and turned it into something incredible and unique! Both versions are amazing and so different you can't really compare them. That's how I feel about this. Barbra owns it, Lilias made it her own. And then there's everyone else. Cynthia is right at the top of the "everyone else" list though! Lolol.
My favorite Erivo singing will always be the a cappella in Bad Times at the El Royale when she is trying to not get killed while Jeff Bridges is digging in time to the music and she is trying to help him do it surreptitiously. It's absolutely perfect and haunting.
"Sheer perfection" is absolutely correct for describing this radiant gift. ❤ Effortless (or at least she makes it appear so) excellence. 🎯 And that dress! 🔟 ❎🔴❎🔴
CoincidentalIy, just today heard for the first time Barbra's closing broadways performance in Funny Girl of the song. This is the only thing that can match the thrill of it!
Her, Shoshona bean, Jennifer Hudson, Tamela Mann, Kelly Clarkson are just beyond talent. Out of this world talent. There are so many more I could name but these women I mentioned strike a personal depth of emotion when they sing for me.
Cynthia Erivo NEEDS to play Fanny Brice in the remake of funny girl. She would kill it! It was always a hard one to reimagine a Funny Girl remake with out Streisand but I can see it with Cynthia. Sending it out to the universe. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You do understand that Fanny Brice was actually a real person and existed? I can't imagine any studio casting anyone other than a white female. That said - a studio should!
my music teacher is in the new wicked movie, everyone’s excited that he’s working with ariana grande but i lost my mind when i found out he’s working with THE cynthia erivo????
I have to say… this is the closest thing to Barbra that I have ever heard. yes, we have “margarine” aka Lina Eder, Idena, Lilly’s, etc. But none can keep ones attention throughout the song. Plus, Barbra has a bite/drive from beginning to end, that up until now, NO ONE, has been able to come close. Sure they have the money note but what about the thousands of notes b4? Cynthia has won!
This is a WONDERFUL performance…but who are the people who literally can’ shut tf up in the background of the video? Do they have any experience going out in public or attending performances?
Thank you for the upload. I love this woman's voice and how she interprets every song and makes it her own. I wish they would upload the full concert 😢😢😢.
@@davem2761 True, but she did record the song live with daughter Liza Minelli in 1964. Since Barbra first sang it onstage in 1964, I should have said "Contemporaneously with Barbra..." ruclips.net/video/TxilVU_jHu4/видео.html
I love how she did the "it's me and not you." Her voice is always impressive, not just because it's powerful, but because it never seems forced or strained.
I love when people laugh because someone sounds so good you can’t contain your joy.
Cynthia Erivo will be an EGOT someday...many times over!! Absolutely stunning vocal performance.
She already has an EGOT!!!!!
@@favouroghama7346 No, she's missing the Oscar. Hopefully, soon, she will have one.
@@kirkreid743 She’s definitely getting an Oscar for the Wicked film in a few years!!

THIS is a woman who respects her instrument. Her voice is IMPECCABLE. Just absolutely gorgeous…
I cannot wait for the Wicked movie, she’s going to be incredible.
She's perfect
So impressed by how versatile she is…. She doesn’t have “one sound” like some singers… she can do traditional old fashion show tunes flawlessly and also do contemporary r&b and pop. It is just incredible.
I saw her a few months ago at Music Hall in Cincinnati, OH and I agree with you! She was incredible!!
Her vocal control, range, and smoothness are spectacular. Her timing, articulation, and sharpness of pitch are remarkable, too. Outside of Streisand in her prime, this is the perhaps best live version of "Don't Rain On My Parade" that I ever recall seeing and hearing.
She's vocally and musically untouchable in everything she does.
The way she sounds on any video, tv, interviews or anything is EXACTLY how she sounds LIVE!! SHE IS AMAZING OMFG. I’m so glad I got to see her HollywoodBowl debut!!
The way the note flutters on 01:41 is spine tingling! What a talent ❤️
Every single time
It's the crescendo on the note. She starts soft and increases in volume on the note.
@@got2bjosh what are you saying? there's no crescendo there. lol
@@Musiclife-nw8qp She plays with volume throughout the entire intro. 1:20-2:11 I could be wrong, but at 1:40 she does a very small increase in volume then holds the note before descending again with vibrato kicking in toward the end of the phrase.
@@got2bjosh yea that's not a crescendo. She just adds vibrato, she actually lessens the volume towards the end.
Her voice is clear as a bell!
Rachel Berry would've been jealous of this amazing performance! 👏
I beg to differ, this is amazing but please let’s not play the comparison card. Thank you
@@hephzibahbartimaeus4888 Relax, the Rachael Berry character was jealous of nearly everyone.
I kept thinking the same thing!!!!! Lol
AS SHE SHOULD BE (respectfully)😤👏👏👏👏

THIS ARRANGEMENT IS AMAZING! Cynthia is just effortless! Watched this a thousand times
She is Brilliant! Luv u Queen ❤
Saw her in The Color Purple and she is BREATHTAKINGLY STUNNING! Her voice blows it away every time!
Imagine being able to steal the spotlight from Jennifer Hudson!
Same! I was mesmerized.
One of the best renditions. Simply stunning. Now going to listen to Barbra’s 1975 live version lol.
I really don’t know how she performs so perfectly!! Especially with all the beat changes and key changes and modulations and whew!!! She’s so friggin dope
She sings this like she's not even trying because she's not. That's how good she is. She doesn't even have to put any strain or force anything because she's that good.
The most elegant rendition.
"don't tell me not to fly" here bc of the casting news
Wow! Her resonance and note holding skills are off the chain!

Oh so wicked is getting HER DAT OSCAR BABY
I must’ve watched this a thousand times in the past month. This is my favorite version of this song BY FAR

OMG THIS ARRANGEMENT THO!!!!!!
Cynthia is sooo amazing!!!!
I know she's busy right now but man... imagine if they brought her into the Funny Girl revival? Hottest ticket in town, immediately.
CoincidentalIy, just today heard for the first time Barbra's closing broadways performance in Funny Girl of the song. This is the only thing that can match the thrill of it!
Its astounding, every time this wonder woman opens her mouth. SO GOOD.
Her, Shoshona bean, Jennifer Hudson, Tamela Mann, Kelly Clarkson are just beyond talent. Out of this world talent. There are so many more I could name but these women I mentioned strike a personal depth of emotion when they sing for me.
She has such an amazing talent! I could literally listen to her sing all day.
She is just BRILLIANT and so VOCALLY BLESSED ❤🥰❤🥰❤🥰

She makes it effortless. True talent.

OUR ELPHIE 💚💚
Cynthia Erivo NEEDS to play Fanny Brice in the remake of funny girl. She would kill it! It was always a hard one to reimagine a Funny Girl remake with out Streisand but I can see it with Cynthia. Sending it out to the universe. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You do understand that Fanny Brice was actually a real person and existed? I can't imagine any studio casting anyone other than a white female. That said - a studio should!
I’m am here for thisssss. Yes, just yes. And she would rock the hell out of the extravagant costumes.
no better voice in the universe
Anything she sings she just really slays it. Her nature is her artistry. I love Cynthia so much🙌✨✨
my music teacher is in the new wicked movie, everyone’s excited that he’s working with ariana grande but i lost my mind when i found out he’s working with THE cynthia erivo????
Just chillsss and goosebumps . I cried
Wow! She makes it look effortless! But what an incredible result!!!
She's INCREDIBLE.
Simply exquisite!
A new Funny Girl fan; Cynthia Erivo.
Her technique is extroadinary
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
"Recorded on an iPhone while holding a beer in one hand. Don't expect good quality." hey, that sounds like a blast 🤣 thanks for the video
Deffs one of the best version of this song
OMG what a superb cover , vocal perfection
I love hearing alternate talks of this song outside of Barbara. I would have LOVED to have heard Whitney Houston do a rendition of this.
ELPHABA 💚
Wow that voice ❤❤❤❤
Her stage presence >>>>
I have to say… this is the closest thing to Barbra that I have ever heard. yes, we have “margarine” aka Lina Eder, Idena, Lilly’s, etc. But none can keep ones attention throughout the song.

Cynthia has won!
She better than Barbra 🙌🏽
@@Brancusi2 nope Barbra is Incomparable
@@quentonhocutt2553 Nope.Babs can’t hit dem high notes no more 🙌🏽 She also has dementia and can’t remember her lyrics on stage. lol
She made it her own. Agreed next to Barbra she is the best. She would play Fanny Brice so well in a remake of funny girl
There are some truly amazing others - have you seen Lillias White or We McDonalds (at 17?!?)
This is a WONDERFUL performance…but who are the people who literally can’ shut tf up in the background of the video? Do they have any experience going out in public or attending performances?
I was thinking the same thing. Do people really not understand how to behave… ie shut the f up lol…
😭💀
Exactly!
She Sound Amazing From Oakland.Ca 🎶😃🎵
This lady is on the road to being a legend. You go, Cynthia!
For anyone who thinks she shouldn't have been cast as Elphaba in Wicked....just show them this video. She can do it.
Truly beautiful!! She is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this!! 💕
Thank you for the upload. I love this woman's voice and how she interprets every song and makes it her own. I wish they would upload the full concert 😢😢😢.
Love her singing Barbara !
Um, you mean BARBRA!!! 😉
And before there was Barbra, there was Judy. :)
@@alecdeull8487 Judy never did "Funny Girl"

couldn't have picked a better woman to play Elphaba in the movie!
yes they could have lol
@@sheismymom who would be better than her?
WOW... YOUR SOUND IS SO GREAT!!!!
I love this women
