@@zeynand4039 The new West Side Story movie is kinda already doing that with another beautiful and talented Ariana (DeBose) 😊 I hope Wicked would enjoy the same reception
Love that about England.more of a respectful attentiveness for a performance. Also You need to be knock out excellent in England to get a standing ovation especially in the theatres.
@@paulsmith3994As an American, I agree. It's one of my biggest pet peeves about our audiences. Rapt attention and silence until the end is much more appreciative and respectful of talent than noises throughout.
@@paulsmith3994as an American I really hate to hear clapping in the middle of a performance. It’s rude to the artist and the audience. I came to hear every bit of an awesome performance. I don’t want to watch the performers mouth moving and hear the audience clap. Burns me up.
Somehow I simply do not understand why they did not give Cynthia Erivo a standing ovation for this … unless they were so blown away by her performance that they simply did not trust the strength in their legs to actually stand up 🤔🤷
I certainly wouldn’ta stood up. Even watching it on the screen I felt like she blew me to the back of my seat. A voice like that just kinda washes over you.
I had the pleasure working with Cynthia on Genius Aretha. She is an incredible actress and her singing of Aretha's music was magical. I yearn for the day that i may work with Cynthia again. She is a kindred spirit.
I discovered Cynthia Erivo on Strictly and fell down a rabbit hole on you tube trying to find anything and everything with her singing. She is amazing! She has won an Emmy, a Grammy and a Tony. Love her to bits
OMG, I never thought I would hear anyone who would give Jennifer Hudson a run for her money but... woow nelly, Cynthia you do. Talented legendary women of music - Aretha, Jennifer, Cynthia!
great interpretation of the Queen of Soul's classic track "Never Loved the man the way that I love you". There will only ever be one Lady Soul, but hands up to Cynthia for this version. She was powerful and soulful.
Unpopular opinion: she sounds NOTHING like Aretha to me. Having said that, she sounds like Cynthia and her voice is pure perfection. What an exquisite and flawless gift God has given to us in her. Wicked can’t come soon enough! This is Cynthia’s time to shine and what a supernova we are all about to experience!! 🔥🔥🔥
For those who have yet to hear it, find Cynthia's stage performance of "Somewhere" from West Side Story. One of the most beautiful performances ever recorded. Watch the faces of musicians in the orchestra while she sings. It is beautiful.💜
She is Genius Aretha in the movie! She sings like a NATURAL WOMAN! You go girl! Wow! The little you just gave us earn a whole lot of RESPECT on your name!
Olivia clutching her pearls and saying "fuck" is me everytime I return to this video.
😭😭🤣🤣🤣 period
Ditto!!!
Waoooo
Yasss, the pearl clutch was epic.
Not clutching them pearls Olivia 😂😭
I'm so happy Cynthia Erivo is finally getting this global recognition. Can't wait for Wicked.
Is she gonna be in the movie or broadway musical?
@@luizpaulonm she was recently casted as Elphaba for the film adaptation
@@boredstranger7522 AWESOME!!!!!

Yes me either
Mid chatter, no warm-up, acapella, Aretha, awesome.
By talking, you warm up your voice. So, she technically had done the warm-up while talking.
@@Mari-hb5do not warming up her whole rang she wasn’t
@@Mari-hb5do that's only warming up to an extent. It doesn't warm up your upper register
@@Mari-hb5do lol, are you a rapper?
@@sydneywilliams4796 But she wasn’t singing outside the normal range of her speaking voice dear
When Olivia puts her hand on her chest and goes like "FCK" lmao. That's THE feeling. Cynthia is a living masterpiece.
Hats off to the crowd for actually listening too and not cheering all through it
That’s definitely more of an American thing. I remember when they did that during the 20 Feet from Stardom speech at the Oscars.
AGREED

saw this the other night on tv and fell off the couch - what a sensational voice
stopped me in my tracks
There’s people in Africa who don’t even know what electricity is
🤣🤣
Olivia saying "fuck" is correct

I don't think it's a British trait to give à standing ovation..
I certainly wouldn’ta stood up. Even watching it on the screen I felt like she blew me to the back of my seat. A voice like that just kinda washes over you.
We're english. We don't stand up for anyone except for pregnant women and old people we know and sometimes not even then
I agree, I was ready to stand up just watching her on youtube.
Agree, in the audience I would have, but if I was on stage next to her I would have been blown away and melded into my chair. Phenomenal
Olivia Coleman's instant reaction was to say "Fuck" LOL. That's when you know it's good.
Tears are flowing. Cynthia is supremely talented, her voice is connected to her soul.
I had the pleasure working with Cynthia on Genius Aretha. She is an incredible actress and her singing of Aretha's music was magical. I yearn for the day that i may work with Cynthia again. She is a kindred spirit.
wow, what an honor, as that movie was GREAT! couldn't even watch Jennifer Hudson's for no one can touch Cynthia as Aretha.
@@hotsand4u Aretha disagreed or she would have pick her.
Oh cool what were you able to do?
@@gesk shush
The look on Olivia's face was literally me!!
This woman is absolutely captivating.
I am always blown away when someone can sing unaccompanied, but to sing without warming up!?!?
The way she looked after… Did I do good? So cute! Hell yeah you did!
AMAZING. also big thanks to the crowd for letting everyone enjoy it fully with no distractions of applause in the middle
It's a British audience lol
An Amazing singer and actress. Her performance in the movie Bad Times at the El Royale is Stunning.
I just watched it yesterday. Great movie!
Omh!!! I cannot put into words what this is, no way. You could see her kind of swithch to some " blues mode" .She deserves every prize she will get.

Her voice is musical perfection. I've just recently become aware of her. I love her voice so much. I'm a true fan, already.
She was amazing in the Genius: Aretha Franklin series. I enjoyed it much more than the film.
That’s a proper audience reaction: waiting til she’s done to applaud
I just started tearing up when she started singing. Holy moly.
I got full body chills when she started singing!
I didn't even know she was a singer so underrated. She deserves so much more media attention.
AGREED
Black women singers don’t get enough recognition anymore. World is obsessed with biracials
I've heard her before. I've felt the awe. I will again. You never get over true talent, and true art.
OMG, I never thought I would hear anyone who would give Jennifer Hudson a run for her money but... woow nelly, Cynthia you do. Talented legendary women of music - Aretha, Jennifer, Cynthia!

Have a listen to JHud and Cynthia together. Pure power and soul, it's incredible 😍
@@marcuscameron8274 OMG, thank you for sharing. It's an incredibly beautiful piece, I had no idea.
great interpretation of the Queen of Soul's classic track "Never Loved the man the way that I love you". There will only ever be one Lady Soul, but hands up to Cynthia for this version. She was powerful and soulful.
Olivia's reaction was my reaction. My God, what a voice.

Some people are just kissed twice by God. 🙌🏾
“Aretha Franklin liked my singing.” Is the ultimate argument killer.
Insane! Her voice is INSANE!
absolutely spot-on and gorgeous!
I LOVE CYNTHIA, SO TALENTED! 👏👏👏
Holy Shit! She is amazing!!
The “f***” at 1:30 is a MOOD 😭 such talent omg

T-A-L-E-N-T!!!! WOW!
Undeniably talented
She's perfect and still so humble.
My God, Aretha showed up for just a brief moment via Ms. Erivo. RIP Aretha & God bless Cynthia 🙏❤🎶🎤
Cynthia ain’t gotta get ready. She was born ready!!
I remember her singing this on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. His reaction was on par with Olivia Coleman's.
she can sing I saw her singing at the Kennedy Honors she is amazing
What a tone and ease on those high notes 👌
That’s incredible. Stopped breathing, started crying.
Saw her in The Color Purple a few years ago and was blown away by her voice then as now. Real singers are still out there.
That's insane. She is AMAZING
Wow! Girl can sing!
How many times can I say 'wow'? She should be up there with the greats
what's great about CE is that she's the soulful sound BUT she can sing classically. Best of two worlds
I love her version when she did Aretha Franklin it was amazing totally amazing
My goodness, where has this gem of soul been hiding all of these years?
That's when you know she's super talented! Sang Girl! Sang! ❤❤❤
Holly Gibney. ❣️ Cynthia is soooooo multi-talented!
I loved Holly. Cynthia is just something else, blows my mind.
I watched this on Graham Norton and Cynthia was just amazing!
That's awesome to know she got to meet Aretha. I loved Cynthia's portrayal of her.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!
This WOMAN!
We don’t deserve her. 😭
If I were to ever meet her, I would crumble to pieces.‼️💚🥺😭
I swear, this woman opens her mouth and I get goosebumps 😭😭😭 WE ARE NOT WORTHY
Woooo!!!! No warm up and sitting down!!!!!! The talent!!!!
She has amazing vocals and played that role so well!
She is Genius Aretha in the movie! She sings like a NATURAL WOMAN! You go girl! Wow! The little you just gave us earn a whole lot of RESPECT on your name!
