    Some of my favorite POC on Broadway (on Broadway or other):
    -Eva Noblezada
    -Lea Salonga
    -Rachel Ann Go (I might've spelled her name wrong)
    -Cynthia Erivo (of course, you already reacted to her, but there's more of her singing that you should check out. Some of my favorite covers: Still Hurting and I Can Do Better Than That from the Last Five Years, You Will Be Found from Dear Evan Hansen, and And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going from Dreamgirls)
    -Jennifer Hudson
    -Amber Riley
    -Alex Newell
    -Renee Elise Goldsberg(I think that's how you spell her last name, but she plays Angelica in Hamilton)
    -Philippa Soo
    -(I forgot her name, but she plays Peggy in the original Broadway cast of Hamilton, in my opinion, she's underrated)
    -(I also forgot her name, but she played Natasha in Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812. Speaking of that, can you react to Josh Groban singing Dust and Ashes from that show? You can also look up You and I from that same show)
    Some of my favorite covers:
    -Movie In My Mind sung by Eva Noblezada and Rachel Ann Go (and I believe there's another cover involving Rachel Ann Go and Lea Salonga)
    -I'll Give My Life For You sung by Eva Noblezada (and there's also the original one sung by Lea Salonga)
    -On My Own sung by Lea Salonga
    -Still Hurting sung by Lea Salonga
    -First Burn by Rachel Ann Go (and many others)
    -Take Me or Leave Me sung by Eva Noblezada and Shoshana Bean
    -Wait For Me from Hadestown sung by Eva Noblezada and the entire cast of Hadestown
    -Flowers sung by Eva Noblezada
    -Memories and I Know Where I've Been sung by Jennifer Hudson
    -Any song from Glee for both Amber Riley and Alex Newell (but I've heard that Amber was really good as Effie in Dreamgirls on the West End and Alex was great in Once on This Island)
    -For the Longest Time sung by Renee Elise Goldsberg, Philippa Soo, and Peggy (because I forgot her name, lol)

Just found this channel because I'm looking for a community to be inspired to get back into theater for fun and, possibly, for a career change. I know it's something I've always wanted to do with my life, but it's hard when you don't see roles for BIPOC. In The Heights did that for me and I think I may have a shot at that or Hamilton in the future. I need to get back into classes after my ten year performing hiatus. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for writing it out. Rant over. LOL

    By far, Cynthia Erivo is one of my most favorite singers and performers of recent years!! Just on technique alone, she's so so secure with her instrument and she knows her voice so well. But technique aside, she knows exactly what story to tell in everything I've seen her sing and she tells it with such conviction and such honesty. She's one of those performers that connects so easily to whoever listens. AND I LOVE how you highlighted, in my opinion, the most important line in the song and see how important the message of this song is. "I believe I have inside of me, everything that I need to live a BOUNTIFUL life." Cynthia just nails the delivery of this line so perfectly. I remember first watching this performance bawling my eyes out. I'm right there with you. I just found your channel but I'm looking forward to more reaction videos featuring POC!

    Patina Miller in Pippin and Sister Act. Rema Webb is a Broadway Veteran and in a bunch of featured ensemble roles on Broadway but she has an amazing instrument. She did the Tony performance of Violet and was one of the 3 church ladies in Color Purple. My fellow CCM MT schoolmate Alysha Deslorieux was in Hamilton and Once On This Island and has an unbelievable voice. There are some videos of her available. Also there are a bunch of incredible Black Understudies and Replacements on Broadway including Aisha Jackson as Anna in Frozen, Britney Johnson as Galinda in Wicked, and Ashley De La Rosa as Regina George in Mean Girls

    Please make a reaction to a young, very popular singer in world. Videos from this singer collect hundreds of millions of views. Diana Ankudinova is now only 17 years old. She has a very unique, very deep, clear voice.
    Dr. Marc Reynolds (Voice Teacher, Stage Director, Performance Coach and Consultant, and Acting Coach) said about the performance of this girl:
    Really really exceptional! Even if you ignore her age, even is she was 10, 20, 30 years older, this is still a really exceptional performer here that we're seeing. But at her age, unbelievable. Really really exceptional! Absolutely gorgeous! And again, not just because of her voice, because her performing, watching how nuanced and engaging her performance is. Ah, it's just so stunning. It's absolutely amazing.

    Bravo for this awesome reaction and for wanting diversity. It is so important we embrace art from all walks of life. We have so many beautiful artists around the world and yes people of color get overlooked many times unfortunately. We have so much to offer this world and I thank you for recognizing the need to shine more light.

    If you haven't yet, you should do a video on Christopher Jackson singing One Last Time, Leslie Odom Jr singing Wait For It, Phillipa Soo singing Burn or Reneé Elise Goldsberry singing Satisfied all from Hamilton. They're all incredible people of color who are excellent actors and singers.

    This is what im telling about, when bending the notes not using our lips. But our throat and chest. Some pop artists do the modifications and runs using their lips, she sings it well. Did the right way it should be sanged. Thank you cynthia for showing us your very wonderful voice♥️

    Please react to Brittney Johnson, the first black actress to play Glinda in Wicked! She was also the first black actress to play both Eponine and Fantine in Les Miserables (and the first woman ever to play both roles in one day). She has such a gorgeous voice and is such a wonderful example of black excellence in musical theatre!
