Due to her having such a powerful voice and also because of how high the song goes she needs to be far away from the mic to stop feedback a mic can take so much and then it would just give up
If she was close to that mic singing that strong that feedback would literally scramble your ears and after 20 seconds you'd hear nothing but white noise
That was incredible. I would love to sing this song at my winter concert but I don’t think I have enough power to really do it justice. My friend is singing this for a very big performance and I walked out of my practice room and heard her singing it and the beauty of it all almost made me cry. It almost brought me to tears
Josie Hull No, it is not. It doesn’t matter your race as long as you keep in mind your own personal range. If you feel like you can really sing this song with power and emotion and over all control then you can definitely go for it. And even if you don’t have as much power, that’s fine just make sure to bring the emotion that it has with it. You want the audience to feel what you are singing.
This is a very hard song to sing, unless you’re super confident and had a lot of training leading up to it, you can easily butcher it. A friend in college sang this and she’s naturally an amazing singer and it literally made everyone cry
This is just sheer amazingness. This part is an automatic Tony win for the soloist if they can nail it like Audra did (and like Darlesia and Aisha Jackson do!)
I saw the play when I was a kid and was obsessed. My mom bought the soundtrack on CD (came with 2 discs) for me, and I listened to it all the time growing up. I have listened to Audra sing this song probably over 100 times and Darlesia absolutely, without a doubt, CRUSHED this.
I will be performing this song next month for my college ensemble audition! I hope I can do it the justice it deserve. It’s so powerful, I’m absolutely in love!
Daddy played piano Played it very well Music from those hands could Catch you like a spell He could make you love him 'Fore the tune was done You have your daddy‘s hands You are your daddy's son ダディはピアノを弾いていた とても上手に弾いていた その手で奏でる音楽は 魔術のように私の心を掴んだ まだ曲が出来上がらないうちから ふと恋に落ちてしまったほどよ ダディにそっくりな手をしてるのね あなたはダディの息子 Daddy never knew That you were on your way He had other ladies And other tunes to play When he up and left me I just up and run Only thing in my head You were your daddy's son ダディは何も知らない あなたが生まれてくることさえ 他の女性達や音楽を操るので 頭がいっぱい 私を置き去りにした日 私は走り出した 唯一頭にあったのは あなたはダディの息子 Couldn't hear no music Couldn't see no light Mama, she was frightened Crazy from the fright Tears without no comfort Screams without no sound Only darkness and pain The anger and pain The blood and the pain I buried my heart in the ground In the ground When I buried you in the ground 音楽も耳に入らず 光も目に入らず ママは恐怖に襲われ 狂いそうになった 慰めようのない涙 音のない叫び そこにあったのは暗闇と痛みだけ 怒りと痛み 血と痛み 私の心を土に埋めた日は あなたも土に埋めた Daddy played piano Bet he's playin' still Mama can't forget him Don't suppose I will God wants no excuses I have only one You had your daddy's hands Forgive me You were your daddy's son ダディはピアノを弾いていた きっとまだどこかで弾いている ママは彼が忘れられないの 一生忘れない 神様は言い訳なんか受け入れてくれない けれど一つだけあるわ あなたはダディにそっくりな手をしてた 許して あなたはダディの息子だった
I am loving it. Very haunting and she’s talented. Excellently done. I don’t like the environment in which she’s singing though. I am not hearing her crystal clear.
Ooh... Daddy played piano, Played it very well. Music from those hands could Catch you like a spell. He could make you love him 'Fore the tune was done. You have your daddy's hands. You are your daddy's son. Ooh... Daddy never knew That you were on your way. He had other ladies And other tunes to play. When he up and left me, I just up and run. Only thing in my head- You were your daddy's son. Couldn't hear no music, Couldn't see no light. Mama, she was frightened, Crazy from the fright. Tears without no comfort, Screams without no sound. Only darkness and pain, The anger and pain, The blood and the pain! I buried my heart in the ground! In the ground- When I buried you in the ground. Daddy played piano. Bet he's playing still. Mama can't forget him. Don't suppose I will. God wants no excuses. I have only one: You had your daddy's hands. Forgive me. You were your daddy's son.
Hey one disliker turn on ur location I just wanna talk
Sian Valadian right!!!! Ugh what is wrong with humanity 🤦♀️
I love how at the start people are chatting and after "in the grouuuuund" there was DEAD SILENCE. She absolutely killed this performance.
Eirika Stokes so dem stay man no appreciation and respect. Only when she shub out strong pon them them start silence up and observe.
I know I am kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to stream newly released series online?
I watch this a few times a year and cry
In the dictionary, this video needs to be linked under 'PROPER BELTING/MIXING YOUR FACE OFF'
DAMN. That was powerful. Every phrase had its own character, every note was expressed in full. She is a true performer.
5 years later and I randomly think about this performance 🥹 Darlesia Cearcy is iconic.
One of the most gifted vocalists I’ve ever heard. Lord bless her!
Could she get further away from that mic? Is it there for display only? Literally incredible! 😭😭😭👏👏👏👏👏

She crushed that in every way possible. Wow, the power in her voice is unreal

Nicole Hughes awkward question is this song bad to sing individually if you’re white
Josie Hull No, it is not. It doesn’t matter your race as long as you keep in mind your own personal range.

What an incredible voice with matching emotion

If this does not make you cry you do not have a soul
Yes!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Such Power! Such Control!
I’m so glad this video exists bc i cannot find any photo or video from when Darlesia played the role in the closing cast of Ragtime in 1999/2000.
She's incredible.
I will be performing this song next month for my college ensemble audition! I hope I can do it the justice it deserve. It’s so powerful, I’m absolutely in love!
How’d it go??
I have to sing this for a college production.
Idk if it happened yet but I bet you did fantastic ❤
Daddy played piano
Played it very well
Music from those hands could
Catch you like a spell
He could make you love him
'Fore the tune was done
You have your daddy‘s hands
You are your daddy's son
ダディはピアノを弾いていた
とても上手に弾いていた
その手で奏でる音楽は
魔術のように私の心を掴んだ
まだ曲が出来上がらないうちから
ふと恋に落ちてしまったほどよ
ダディにそっくりな手をしてるのね
あなたはダディの息子
Daddy never knew
That you were on your way
He had other ladies
And other tunes to play
When he up and left me
I just up and run
Only thing in my head
You were your daddy's son
ダディは何も知らない
あなたが生まれてくることさえ
他の女性達や音楽を操るので
頭がいっぱい
私を置き去りにした日
私は走り出した
唯一頭にあったのは
あなたはダディの息子
Couldn't hear no music
Couldn't see no light
Mama, she was frightened
Crazy from the fright
Tears without no comfort
Screams without no sound
Only darkness and pain
The anger and pain
The blood and the pain
I buried my heart in the ground
In the ground
When I buried you in the ground
音楽も耳に入らず
光も目に入らず
ママは恐怖に襲われ
狂いそうになった
慰めようのない涙
音のない叫び
そこにあったのは暗闇と痛みだけ
怒りと痛み
血と痛み
私の心を土に埋めた日は
あなたも土に埋めた
Daddy played piano
Bet he's playin' still
Mama can't forget him
Don't suppose I will
God wants no excuses
I have only one
You had your daddy's hands
Forgive me
You were your daddy's son
ダディはピアノを弾いていた
きっとまだどこかで弾いている
ママは彼が忘れられないの
一生忘れない
神様は言い訳なんか受け入れてくれない
けれど一つだけあるわ
あなたはダディにそっくりな手をしてた
許して
あなたはダディの息子だった
You writing lyrics as if we’d ever have a chance to sing this timeless musical song anywhere near as good 😭
TALENT MY GOD
I see so many videos where mediocre performances are described as amazing. This performance, however, is something to rave about. Wonderful.
Sweet Lord! This is out of this World!
I will never get over this performance. 🥲😭 I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
Bravo Darlesia!
I have chills....
HEARTSTOPPING WOW WOW WOW

Such an unnecessary and rude remark. Tear other people down and make things personal. It seems to be the only strategy.
I am those people crying and sniffling in the background

Ooh...
Daddy played piano,
Played it very well.
Music from those hands could
Catch you like a spell.
He could make you love him
'Fore the tune was done.
You have your daddy's hands.
You are your daddy's son.
Ooh...

That you were on your way.
He had other ladies
And other tunes to play.
When he up and left me,
I just up and run.
Only thing in my head-
You were your daddy's son.
Couldn't hear no music,
Couldn't see no light.
Mama, she was frightened,
Crazy from the fright.
Tears without no comfort,
Screams without no sound.
Only darkness and pain,
The anger and pain,
The blood and the pain!
I buried my heart in the ground!
In the ground-
When I buried you in the ground.
Daddy played piano.
Bet he's playing still.
Mama can't forget him.
Don't suppose I will.
God wants no excuses.
I have only one:
You had your daddy's hands.
Forgive me.
You were your daddy's son.
