I just love watching her sing and how she enunciates every single word. I never have to wonder what she's singing, she knows how to really sing using consonants. Amazing.
I was blessed to see her in the live performance of Aida on Broadway in Chicago. I feel so blessed to have seen it twice. I also have this music for the show on CD.
This is the moment when the gods expect me To beg for help but I won't even try I want nothing in this world but myself to protect me But I won't lie down, roll over and die All I have to do is to forget how much I love him All I have to do is put my longing to one side Tell myself that love's an ever- changing situation Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died It's easy, it's easy All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start It's easy, It's easy Until I think about him as he was when I last touched him And how he would have been were I to be with him today Those very rare occasions don't let up they keep on coming All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away It's easy, it's easy as life But then I saw the faces of a worn , defeated people A father and a nation who won't let a coward run is this how the gods reward the faithful through the ages ? Forcing us to prove the hardest thing we've done Are easy So easy And though I'll think about him til the earth draws in around me And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love There is no denial, no betrayal but redemption Redeemed in my own eyes and in the pantheon above It's easy It's easy as life It's easy as life It's easy as life
Have you heard her version of "I will always love you" pure joy. I didn't think she could do it but she proved me so wrong. Her version is the perfect example of "making it your own"
Not only is Heather an amazing singer, she is the best Aida ever! Every bone in her body plays that role, its beyond acting. She turns into the character!
Yes and she is just about the sweetest person I have ever met. I talked to her for a few minutes but then she had to leave because AIDA had a show that night. Adam Pascal was also ate her wedding. I was in heaven. She has worked with so many Broadway Actors and Actresses that I absolutely adore!
I was thinking the same thing about Heather's enuciation. I absolutely love it. So clear, pure, and pleasant. She is one that should be around for a long time. A lot of singers are here and now singers but they will lose their appeal in around 10 years. ----------------------------------------- I just love watching her sing and how she enunciates every single word.

theres really only one word to discribe her. WOW she's amazing like she doesnt even need to open her mouth to let out like te most powerful voice i have ever heard!!!
She is just amazing...I am soo sorry that I never saw her in this role...I did get to hear her sing once...At my cousins wedding...my cousin was the wardrobe supervisor on AIDA and she asked Heather to sing...She sang sooo beautifully!!!!
i love her so damn much. Heather Headley is the best performer of this song, hands down. She IS Aida. Everyone else I've seen is aware of their audiences and seem to be 'performing'. Heather just IS.
I absolutely love this vid! She is amazing. Also if you watch her duet mith Adam Pascal "Aida - elaborate lives - originalbroadway cast" she can really act! Just love her eyes.
I'm sure this is too late, but if you can't hit the note, go for the emotion and commit to it - that'll always stay with your audience. I often find that connecting with that final thought helps me belt. Hope it went well!
There are so many good performances of this song on youtube... but this is the only performance of this song I've seen where she is ACTING it. It is obvious that she digs way down deep when she sings this song. It doesn't just float on the surface like other interpretations that I've seen of this song. AMAZING!
You hit the nail on the head! A huge difference between pop singers & broadway singers is that pop singers sing the notes and broadway singers sing the words. If Beyonce can master the technique then she'd be brilliant but I think Condola Rashad is the best choice for the role.
She held that note for 40 days and 40 nights
john carter 😂😂😂😂
I’m done😂😂😂😂
I just love watching her sing and how she enunciates every single word. I never have to wonder what she's singing, she knows how to really sing using consonants. Amazing.
She is a true professional. I love this song It hits home and I admire Heather's Performance.
she's hitting that high note and barely opening her mouth AHHH she makes all the notes sound so pure! lovely i must say
So much more than just "powerful." Stunning.
Still watching this in 2024
wow! Just great! Look at her face, her eyes. She's completely in character even standing at the microphone!
OH MY GOSH talk about soul
this song touches my heart this IS AND ALWAYS BE AIDA
Kudos to Ms. Headly
Always and forever the blueprint ❤😻
Amazing

Islamae Brown Do you have the version of this "Musical Awards 2001" presentation with quality?
This is the moment when the gods expect me
To beg for help but I won't even try
I want nothing in this world
but myself to protect me
But I won't lie down, roll over and die
All I have to do is to forget
how much I love him
All I have to do is put my longing to one side
Tell myself that love's an ever-
changing situation
Passion would have cooled and
all the magic would have died
It's easy, it's easy
All I have to do is to pretend
I never knew him
On those very rare occasions
when he steals into my heart
Better to have lost him when
the ties were barely binding
Better the contempt of the
familiar cannot start
It's easy, It's easy
Until I think about him as
he was when I last touched him
And how he would have been
were I to be with him today
Those very rare occasions
don't let up they keep on coming
All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away
It's easy, it's easy as life
But then I saw the faces of a worn ,
defeated people
A father and a nation who won't
let a coward run
is this how the gods reward the
faithful through the ages ?
Forcing us to prove the hardest
thing we've done
Are easy
So easy
And though I'll think about him
til the earth draws in around me
And though I choose to leave
him for another kind of love
There is no denial, no betrayal but redemption
Redeemed in my own eyes and
in the pantheon above
It's easy
It's easy as life
It's easy as life
It's easy as life
Ahhhh that last note gives me major chills. She's the best Aida ever.
i love how when she sings "its easy" you know that it is the exact opposite of that. its all in the delivery, and man does she deliver
I can never listen to this song just once. At least 3 times and it ALWAYS strikes my heart.
I'm so addicted to Ms. Heather Headley!
one of the BEST vocal performance EVER seen!
im always blown away by how gracefull a musical singer she is...
She has a very elegant, commanding presence. Perfect for this role.
This was flawless...absolutely magnificent! Can't believe the audience didn't stand at the end!
Heather is too fierce no aidas can even hold a candle to this! This role was made for her.
Wow! Thank you for posting this. I miss seeing her in Aida. Speechless.
Wow!
It IS her sound....always...unique to her alone.
Listen to "He Touched Me"...the Heather Headley nasally sound, but so AMAZING!
Sensational performance !!!
Her voice gives me goosebumps the voice of life. Breathtaking 💖💖💖
Have you heard her version of "I will always love you" pure joy. I didn't think she could do it but she proved me so wrong. Her version is the perfect example of "making it your own"
Not only is Heather an amazing singer, she is the best Aida ever! Every bone in her body plays that role, its beyond acting. She turns into the character!

My god. I don't think I've seen anything like this in my life. Beyond words. What a power house voice she has. She's flawless. Truly breath-taking.
Heather is absolutley incrediable!! I listen to this song like everyday!!
Yes and she is just about the sweetest person I have ever met. I talked to her for a few minutes but then she had to leave because AIDA had a show that night. Adam Pascal was also ate her wedding. I was in heaven. She has worked with so many Broadway Actors and Actresses that I absolutely adore!
Clearly the only person who could ever portray Aida with the emotion, conviction and spirit, no one else can compare.
HEATHER…😀😀😀
i LOVE her voice. its so unique
There are many layers to you. The first time I heard you sang I knew I should encourage you to stick with it
I was thinking the same thing about Heather's enuciation. I absolutely love it. So clear, pure, and pleasant. She is one that should be around for a long time. A lot of singers are here and now singers but they will lose their appeal in around 10 years.

You seriously cannot take your eyes off of her. She's incredible.

The one and ONLY Aida! I love you Heather. No one even compares to you. Superb!!!
I have to sing this for my concert, and i'm like crying cause I can't hit that last note
I'm sure this is too late, but if you can't hit the note, go for the emotion and commit to it - that'll always stay with your audience. I often find that connecting with that final thought helps me belt. Hope it went well!
Ayanna Mae How did the concert go? ☺

omg....this is great!!!
@unscrambled I love you for this!!!
simply beautiful in every way
Now THAT is a real singer. Take that all you breathy pop stars. :)
Heather is so amazing, and by far the best Aida out there.
There are so many good performances of this song on youtube... but this is the only performance of this song I've seen where she is ACTING it. It is obvious that she digs way down deep when she sings this song. It doesn't just float on the surface like other interpretations that I've seen of this song. AMAZING!
this lady is a goddess... holy cow man... holy holy cow, what a performance!
AMAZING!
She's friggin amazing.
she was the most amazing Aida they casted. the play was AMAZING!
It touchs my heart...
Yes! You betta perform and never move one step! I love her!
She is the reason why MUSIC is orgasmic.
If they make a movie and she isn't casted..... I vote we have a theatre revolt.
You hit the nail on the head! A huge difference between pop singers & broadway singers is that pop singers sing the notes and broadway singers sing the words. If Beyonce can master the technique then she'd be brilliant but I think Condola Rashad is the best choice for the role.
Goosebumps on steroids
heather is incredible.
Heather is amazing :)
I love her :)
I adore her. I want to be like Heather in everything I do, I wish they would allow Aida to come back on Broadway... I would so try out for it
She owns this song!
