    I totally get Terrell's response to her voice. If you've ever heard her sing live, acoustically, there is such a clarity and purity in her tone. She makes the runs and turns sound effortless, her range is really wide and she has an instinct for shaping, phrasing and dynamics. I've been brought to tears by her before now and even listening to her here I get chills. I know that she's worked hard to get to where she is and I have total respect for her

Not only is Cynthia Erivo a phenomenal artist but she is sincere, vulnerable, passionate, unique, inspirational & has a depth & wisdom beyond her years. Black, British, Nigerian heritage, successful but consciously grounded & humble... desires not just to build her empire but to help her people to realise their potential & fulfil their dreams... absolutely inspirational! Love you!

    Terrell’s tears when she sings “I’m here” are the exact response I have when I hear this song. It’s not just her voice (though her voice IS EV-ER-Y-THING!), it’s the lyrics and the meaning behind this song. It is the heart that she brings to this character and the fact that this song speaks to every single person who has had to pull themselves from the rubble of their life in order to stand firm, confident, and loving themselves in order to declare “I am here.” This moment, this exact moment, is why I am even more in love with this show and with Terrell than I have ever been. When I say that this man and this show are a blessing and a God send to this world, I mean every bit of it. Thank you so much Terrell for loving music and musical artists the way that you do and thank you even more for sharing that love with all of us. ❤️❤️❤️

    Besides a full performance, I don’t think anyone has sat here and been given the space to sing an entire song! Cynthia really is like a magnet when she sings, where people literally are hanging on every word and leaning closer as to not miss any choice she makes! She is a monster vocalist but a storyteller first! Those are my favorite artists! One of a kind!!!!

      I swear I was transported to a time I've never known. That last note was nostalgic in the most jarring way imaginable. Tears.
