Who's here in 2024 still enjoying this dynamic duo ❤???
I am and all I can say is WOW
No longer just a fabulous london stage star, but a TONY WINNER. Cynthia Erivo.
🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿♥️
Now a Tony, Emmy, and Grammy award winner
@@lynese54 and maybe an Oscar winner as well
@@joseleite4067 Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony And Several Other Awards ❤
She should have won the Oscar.
Even after 8 years, i still get goosebumps listening to the harmonies of both of these talented women.
For real
Same!
I love how they aren't trying to out sing each other. Both of their voices shine and are so amazing
Exactly ❤❤❤.
Mariah AND Withney..who? 😂
don't do too much, they are untouchable and that's not just because of fame, but because they simply are@@luisivangarza8053
@@luisivangarza8053Oh, p-l-e-a-s-e! Those two are the blueprint of music!
@@luisivangarza8053Um let's not get carried away!
They both sang this song beautifully. I love how Cynthia exudes confidence. We all know Jennifer is a powerhouse but you can tell Cynthia knows who she is. Her self assurance shines. Confident women help motivate me.
The more I see of Cynthia, the more I realize she is a damn beast!
Yes
yes! it can be easy to get caught up trying to compete with Jhud but Cynthia has this thing. It seems she doesn't have to try. Her tone is so pure and so well balanced with Jhud. I love Cynthia didn't try and be something shes not.
NowNaturalMe same
The perfect comment! Spot on!
This was the best duet I've heard since Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. Great job!!!!!!
+Cee Nelly And that was a great duet Cee.
Yes gawd! I'm dying to see this! It's gonna win the Tony's lol
Cee Nelly so sad this kinda song is so underrated.. the world prefer the dumb fake big ass duo songs.. huft
Love love JHud and Cynthia I wish Jennifer nothing but love and the best in life she deserves it
You must not have seen Whitney Houston and CeCe Winans.
This does not have enough views honestly. COME ON. AM I THE ONLY ONE HEARING THIS BEAUTY?
Thank God For Melanin THANK YOU!💯

I’m here in 2019 after Cynthia’s Grammy, Emmy and Tony.
After Jennifer Hudson merely breathes I visit this video.
Chexk out Cynthia on UA-cam's Song Association..the woman is GEM..omg😍😍😍
Oscar coming soon for her role as Harriet - an EGOT
I'm here because of Terrell #carryon
It's weird how the video description focused on Jennifer and barely mentioned Cynthia. Now Cynthia is on Jennifer's level, if not better.
cynthia's acting is INSANE. she BELONGS on stage
yeeeeeesssss indeed
Wow I envy that acting girl😘😘
Cynthia Erivo is on stage! She won a Tony. Do your research!
@Cynthia Erivo I'm from Seychelles, and wow the performance 🔥🔥
@BrookeGraczyk you called it!!!!!!!!! 🙌🏿🕺🏿
I do not understand why this wonderful song did not became popular 😢 This is one of the best duets I've ever heard before, two epic singers with voice and soul in a great interpretation..
Congrats for The Color Purple 👍😉
I absolutely love Cynthia's voice, insanely pure and clear.
i seen her act in the movie harriet thats how i know her voice biut didnt know about ths duo
Their voices are different. Both beautiful. Cynthia though is amazing
Jennifer Hudson’s voice defies credulity! She is a force of nature.
in the name of Jesus, put the whole damn soundtrack on iTunes/Apple Music, Spotify and everywhere. I need to buy these songs!!!
+Kleverson Farias They recently announced that this cast album will come out on February 19!! i'm so excited!
+alex prakke yeah it did, it's on iTunes! (Not on spotify yet but hopefully it will be on there as well soon 🙏🏿)
alex prakke
Kleverson Farias.. I'm searching on Apple Music now and can't find it, do you know if it's still there??
+LocsNshoeboxes It might not be on streaming platforms. I know its not on Spotify.
So Cardi B’s bangers garner millions of views while this masterpiece that uplifts the spirit and conveys noble human qualities, is obscure and under appreciated in comparison.
Hi Soft, it is not obscure 😃 we are here 😃 connected to the their voices, the lyrics, and emotions ❤️ not everyone has this opportunity yet. I am glad you do. 😃
divaquana you don’t have to put down other forms of art to uplift others, but I can see what you were trying to say ✨🖤🖤
That's literally just the world of today🙄 sucks that's the reality
divaquana I didn’t mean to @ you I meant to @ the op. And I’m 17 so yeah I listen to mainstream music as well as 70’s rock. 🙂
heh oh yes.... so true, and soooo annoying...
Lyrics:
Dear God, dear stars, dear trees, dear sky
Dear peoples, dear everything
Dear God
God is inside me and everyone else
That was or ever will be
I came into this world with God
And when I finally looked inside
I found it
Just as close as my breath is to me
Rising (rising) (rising)
Like the sun
Is the hope that sets us free
Your heartbeat
Make my heart beat
When we share love
Like a plate of corn
Like a honeybee
Like a waterfall
All a part of me
Like the color purple
Where do it come from?
Now my eyes are open
Look what God has done
It take a grain of love (grain of love)
To make a mighty tree (mighty tree)
Even the smallest voice (smallest voice)
Can make a harmony (harmony)
Like a drop of water (drop of water)
In the river high (river high)
There are miracles (there are miracles)
For you and I (For you, and you and I)
Like a plate of corn (like a plate of corn)
Like a honeybee (like a honeybee)
Like a waterfall
All a part of me (all a part of me, yeah)
Like the color purple (like the color purple)
Where do it come from (where do it come from)
Now my eyes are open (my eyes are open)
Look what God has done
I don't think us feel old at all
I think this is the youngest us ever felt, yes
Amen
Best female duet since whitney/mariah and celine/barbra 😍
OMFG yessss so underrated
Agreeeeeeeeeeee
Two gorgeous women. Two beautiful voices. One moving song.
They sing like angels from heaven 😇
Your reply is a dime❤❤❤❤😊
I know I am so late to this, but Jennifer Hudson exudes absolute perfection here. Her talent is out of this universe. I wish I had known who Cynthia Erivo was before I made that discovery. She is one of the most talented singers on Broadway right now. And them both together? I cannot ask for anything better in this shitty world.
Jennifer sang that like it was that god damn easy!....damn she can sang! Cynthia was AMAZING as well not gonna lie. What a Collab!
God finally presented someone with a voice strong & beautiful enough to sing with Jennifer Hudson! They are amazing!
Two elite singers singing in perfect harmony. They both were giving to each other and it produced a heavenly sound.
Cynthia made good harmonies, but not in JHuds league
@@SoulKnightKingI respectfully think Erivo’s voice is more versatile and perfectly trained, the tone is also more beautiful.
@@YDVDNVRR I agree, her voice is more refined, but I can never discount the palpability and emotional presence of jennifer; it’s disarming in the best way possible.
I guess I forgot Jennifer could really blow. I mean Cynthia is everything. But wow JHud go ahead mama!
Cynthia understands that this song doesn't need to be extremely loud and that it's about the dramatic effect as well, not just blowing through the entire song.
+Zahra Ismail Cynthia is an amazing singer and she has just as much power in her voice when it's needed. Here it's not needed. But this is suppose to be a powerful moving song. Go watch the play on Broadway. It's wonderful
+DaTeamMinaj I watched in Broadway twice which is why I know what I'm talking about 😂 You're saying exactly what I'm saying: that this song doesn't need over the top belting and blowing because of what the song is about. Cynthia being an amazing actress knows how to not almost butcher the song.
+Zahra Ismail You right 😘
You forgot? Wth
5 years after, Cynthia already got her Oscar Nomination plus an Emmy, Grammy and Tony to her belt.
Only for the color purple. She's not that versatile.
@@SoulKnightKing where are your awards hater?🤣🤣🤣
@@justicepower1255 my point stands
@@SoulKnightKing So does the question. Where are your awards?😏
Shoutout to the producer!!! Cuz mixing and mastering with their voices and these vocals ain't easy. He did it PERFECTLY!!!!
Right.
*They both can sing their asses off, but when Cynthia hit that simple note at the end; it’s a wrap for this song.* ❤️🎆
Myss_Que_Tue_Yue Israel nope. Go to 2:32 when JHud hits that top note for the harmony.
@@beckfordsaied4 That note is crazy....
The song's lyrics:
Dear God, dear stars, dear trees, dear sky,
dear people, dear everything, dear God,
God is inside me and everyone else
that was or ever will be.
I came into this world with God
and when I finally looked inside, I found it,
just as close as my breath is to me!!
rising . . .
rising . . .
rising . . .
like the sun
is the hope that sets us free
your heart beat
make my heart beat
when we share love
like a blade of corn,
like a honeybee,
like a waterfall,
all a part of me.
like the color purple,
where do it come from?
now my eyes are open,
look what God has done!!
it takes a grain of love
to make a mighty tree.
even the smallest voice
can make a harmony.
like a drop of water
keep the river high,
there are miracles
for you and i.
like a blade of corn,
like a honeybee,
like a waterfall,
all a part of me.
like the color purple,
where do it come from?
now my eyes are open,
look what God has done.
I don't think us feel old at all.
I think this is the youngest us ever felt.
Amen
Mitra Samiyi I’ve been trying to find the lyrics since forever! Thank you so much!
Thank you
Beautiful poetry, beautiful song so skillfully done. Effortless.
None needed
Thanks
2 beautiful women with angelic voices. Matchless!!!

""I don't think Us feel old at all.... I think this is the youngest Us ever felt."...I felt that in my spirit.
I just finished rereading the book as an adult and... it makes me tear up everytime.
I loved it when they said that 🙏🏾
Yes!
"Aaaaaaaameeeen" ❤
CYNTHIA has become one of my favorite singers and actresses in such a short period of time.
Jennifer Hudson's voice is everything
Cynthia Erivo's voice gives me chills!!! SING CYNTHIA!!!!!!!
Some very key Jennifer Hudson moments you may miss because she can be subtle sometimes.
00:29 - The soft riff down the scale
00:59 - control and poise
01:24 - Her voice starts rising with the song (control)
01:50 - more power still with great control
02:32 - High harmony
02:48 - and again (explosive)
Conclusion: Give this woman better songs. The world needs to hear more of this voice
@Dontea'u Jae'El right it's was amazing
Mike Omoniyi She can’t be consistent with it though. She oversings constantly and not always on pitch...she has a tendency to be slightly sharp...and sometimes the note is wrong completely. Now Cynthia....what a voice!!!!
@@sharkkeeper01 whaaaat?
robert dassaev exactly!! @sharkkeeper01 im no music pro by any means, but i know pitch...and J-Hud’s notes are nothing short of crisp...consistently.
@@sharkkeeper01 yes Jennifer is very pitchy. Always has been and yes is always Sharp
These two together? MY GOD!!!!!!
Help, I can't stop listening to this song over and over.
claritarejoice I’m addicted
Me too
"it takes a grain of love to make a mighty tree, even the smallest voice can make a harmony" fav part
only people who have taste listen to this and keep coming back . It's like therapy
01:09 The way Cynthia looks at Jennifer is just soooo priceless
Cynthia has to Win The Tony i mean omg her voice is just amazing omg
+tara thelen I saw the show tonight and was blown away by her. Her voice is eve bigger the J hud
You read my mind. I saw this on Broadway in February and we were left speechless by Cynthia 's performance. She out did JH by a stretch. Our group agreed that listening to JH sing after Cynthia is a bit irritating. I am a big fan of Cynthia and will follow her work.
Cynthia could win the Tony just on the strength of her acting in TCP. The fact that she can sing like that just makes it a complete lock for her, in my opinion.
apples and oranges ......jh has been to hell and back, and she is a sweet, kind soul . jh also held back ,she knew she wasn't the star , watch her prince tribute after the show .
both are stars .
saw the show 8 times/ stunning
These women give me hope for love and understanding. We're all God's children and we all need to learn to love and respect each other.
This made me tear up. So powerful.

The Color Purple wins Best Musical Theater Album 2017 Grammy. Congrats to Jennifer Hudson and Cynthia Erivo.

:)
My sentiments exactly!!!😁😁😁👏👏👏
Mohamad Imran right
Mohamad Imran she will even be playing Aretha & a coach
And coaching the Voice
Cynthia is everything...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't know Cynthia Erivo till today... And now my life is brighter
Best play I have ever seen! Cynthia as Celie was MAGIC. she hit high notes that I wouldn't even imagine could come out that small body of hers. I laughed, cried, sang along. It was just all around amazing. Jennifer as Shug was perfect fit for her. She really brought out the character. And I had no idea Danielle Brooks could sing the way she did! That girl had vocalssss. She been hiding it lol
BLACK PEOPLE RULE THE FUCKING WORLD IN ARTS AND CREATIVITY.... GIVE US THE DAMN OPPORTUNITY!
preach my nigga preach
Peyton Carter wat are u talking about
No.
lovinrayne07 lmao ig she can't
Peyton Carter that wasn't necessary I was just asking if u thought he was talking for or against black people
Two beautiful black women secured in their talent and sharing the stage. Blessing. Excellent performance.
Imagine Cynthia and Toni Braxton
I want to hear Cynthia Erivo & Jennifer Hudson cover "When you believe"
I cannot get enough of this!!!!!!!! So amazing!!! Not may people can keep up with Jennifer Hudson. Cynthia is not messing around!!! Haha!
jennifer is very powerful
JHud slayed in all the way ❤️
Two of the most outstanding voices in the world. Hudson's unbelievable power and grit besides Erivo’s gorgeous tone and resonance.
The difference between a pop singer & a musical theatre singer :') it's beautiful
Pamelafountain60 jones Yes! TRUTH - FACTS...Jennifer Hudson’s vocal delivery (American Black church Gospel background) forces Cynthia Erivo to come up higher and more powerful. She is getting ‘schooled.’
@Pamelafountain60 jones Jennifer Hudson has won an Oscar, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild award. She needs a Grammy and a Tony now.
@Pamelafountain60 jones You're right! Thanks for that.
@Pamelafountain60 jones and Grammy 2017 for Color Purple
She haven two grammys
@@PreferAndroid Jennifer Hudson does have a Grammy
Now Cynthia has an Emmy, Grammy, Tony. An Oscar nomination. If she wins an Oscar in recent times she will be the youngest entry into the EGOT list (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar & Tony)
BLACK MAGIC! ❤️
03:42 Cynthia's smile is so so so gorgeous
this is so unbelievably beautiful.
Recommendation: Here... watch this 4 years later
Me: ohhh my this is good why so late!!!!!!!
this is the most beautiful thing i’ve ever heard
I love me some JHud but that damn Cynthia Erivo is definitely what this generation needs musically…. Just a pure raw talent whose classically trained!!! The best duet I’ve heard in a long time!
Lord Jennifer Hudson voice is just. Whoa!!
Nona Taylor such beatiful voices
Cynthia tho!!! I can't wait to see this
JHUD allowed Cynthia to shine she's such a lady...what a amazing duet
Not sure that's true. Cynthia can shine all by herself, she doesn't need anyone to 'allow her' to... They are both fantastic
1:16 that run, the control.. wig snatchedt Cynthia
Jennifer voice is perfect for this song. I love it
Damn!! Jennifer Hudson has an amazing gift! Both ladies are superb!!
