It’s the control for me. You know when you think about singers like Beyoncé she might not be your favorite singer but what she does better than almost anyone else if she has amazing vocal training and control. Cynthia definitely has that as well. She is creating a legacy right now. It’s amazing to watch.
Once again, growing up in a black church teaches so much. The classic “Mic Toss”. Cynthia is just unstoppable in her element! This was a great opening number!
I love how she doesn’t sound like Elphaba when she sings other songs outside of wicked. Sometimes when you hear certain voices you can only think of certain characters but she is VERSATILE
Cynthia Erivo was just here in DC on Saturday for our 50th DC World Pride performing at our street festival in front of the US Capitol and she was INCREDIBLE. Her performance was riveting and when she finished celebrating with us, she went back to her hotel to pack and fly to NY to do this show at the Tony Awards. If you get the opportunity to see this lady perform, please do because she is phenomenal.
Her dress was indeed a nod to Annie. The musical composer, Charles Strouse, passed away in May & was the first one featured in the “In Memoriam” segment. Another Annie nod was Sara Bareilles & Cynthia Erivo singing “Tomorrow” in that segment.
Not her giving us the five star Michelin meal and devoured it down and literally left no crumbs until the dessert came and then ate that too oh my god her voice it so amazing I love it ❤
Cynthia absolutely slayed this opening number!!!! She and Adam Lambert need to head to the studio immediately to perform a duet. Been a fan since his American Idol days...he SANG from his seat!!!! Cynthia and her amazing voice are truly gifts to the world. Her "Tomorrow" with Sara Bareilles for the In Memorium segment was beautiful. I watched the Tonys mainly for Cynthia and the Hamilton performance, but the show was good. Cynthia was an exceptional host!!! And she served so many great looks!!👏🏽❤️👏🏽❤️👏🏽❤️👏🏽
2:33 It’s back to back with this woman. Her Grammy Performance, her performance at The Oscars with Ariana Grande … incomparable, now this!!!?!!!!She can’t be stopped!!!!!!! Stream her new album y’all!!!
Funny that you would say that because I was checking out her nails and thinking that she is the second coming of Barbra Streisand! I actually like Cynthia a tad bit better too.
Man, I wish I was in that audience 😩 I’d love to have a mic pointed in my direction by Cynthia and SING 💙😩 I love musical numbers like this especially in that key! Yes!! Adam absolutely slayed!💙 💅 I forgot he can sing in that range
We saw her live and she is nothing short of other-worldly perfection. Captivating and mesmerizing. Her talent, voice, presentation...all out of the park.
“Shiv Roy” on the opening marquee - everybody got their props! The show was unreal! Erivo was the jolt we all need! Thank you TONYS! 10s across the board 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥊
That was the perfect opening song. Cynthia Erivo has a beautiful voice with the personality to match! Shes definitely got a God given gift! I missed most of it but what I did see, I thought she did a great job!❤❤❤
I now need a Cynthia and Adam Lambert song on my desk by 10 tomorrow morning. No exceptions
Yes! They are performing together this summer in "Jesus Christ Superstar" at the Hollywood Bowl and I'm going to be there. So excited!
💯
I think they did a song together I Knew You Were Waiting I think it was
I believe it’s ready
@@jessm444ME TOO IM SO PUMPED
everyone in audience sort of hesitant, until adam lambert and he just BLASTS IT, what a voice
I was wondering who that was, he made me smile. Amazing!!
@@aintgotnotltche was a guest star on glee that sang with rachel
@@aintgotnotltc He was the runner up on the 8th season of American Idol. Adam is a fantastic performer.
To be fair, the audio balancing wasn't great, and they were sitting. Kristin Chenoweth is usually a powerhouse.
I don’t know who the other first two were but I think they did good for people who might not be singers!
I think what we’ve all learned from this is that Cynthia and Adam Lambert need to collaborate
Cynthia and Adam are going to be performing together at Hollywood Bowl in ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ musical in August this year
@@samlynn2319YES!!!🎉🎉
@@samlynn2319I said that in a previous reply…meant to reply tomthis
There's a COVID cover of them duetting on Aretha and George Michael's I Knew You Were Waiting for Me.
Two of the best singers in this generation. I agree.
That moment when she’s searching for Adam Lambert is great. “Where are you!? Where are you!?” And he SANG! 4:49
And he didn’t disappoint!
He sang down!
Wow!
yess i love him
That's a true artist
If she recorded a Christmas album I'm DEFINITELY BUYING! Her voice is so comforting and strong, makes you feel safe and powerful at the same time.
THIS
She can read the phone book as far as I am concerned. Sing it girl!
THIS!!
Would love that!!!
xmas sucks. grow up
she truly is unstoppable when she’s in her element. what an iconic voice.
What an astounding singer!!! Great, high chest voice knocks me out!

Adam Lambert understood the assignment. He and Cynthia will be amazing in Jesus Christ Superstar. Two amazing talents!
wait is this a real thing that's happening?
@@LittleMixLuvr Hollywood Bowl this summer
@@LittleMixLuvr Yep. Cynthia is playing Jesus while Adam is playing Judas.
Cynthias voice is so clear and crisp, its just perfection
Cynthia's voice is absolutely iconic whether she's singing live or belting out something totally impromptu in the middle of an interview.

Take us to CHURCH, CYNTHIA 🤌🏾
I got goosebumps!!!

Ooh its jazzy and churchy....yes ma'am
Grammy should watch and learn how fabulous the productions of Tony Awards is!
Yes, I agree!
Agreed 👏
YES!!! All I thought about when watching ; perfect pacing !
She was a producer this year!
But this is what the Tony's is all about. Grammy's don't have that talent behind them lol
Her voice is so clean and smooth. Probably one of the best vocalist out there today
It’s the control for me.

OH SHE ATE THIS TF UPPP 😭😍
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yep yep Adam your audition to perform with Cynthia has been accepted and we will see you soon!!!❤️
Adam and Cynthia will be singing in Jesus Christ Superstar in August. She will be Jesus and he will be Judas
Omg to say that was an outstanding performance 🎭 wouldn’t even cut it. This girls just keeps blowing me away. That’s was a heck of a performance 🎉🎉🎉
SOMETIMES ALL YOU NEED IS A SONG. PERFECT OPENING!!!!
Adam Lambert killed that improv bit.
Sooooo can we just say we will start every award show with Cynthia singing the house down PLEASE!
Also, Adam KNEW what to do with that mic!
HAHAHAHAHAHA😂😂😂😂😂
"We're here holding space" - I caught that, ma'am 😂
Can you hold the space I require or will you turn the page? - Ariana Warm
@@RuReady115 oh I like that a lot
When did she say that lolll
@@Yagirlnyesha3:52
They took the Tony's to Church!! This gave me goosebumps!
Adam Lambert!!! Wow
He said I won't disappoint Cynthia!

There’s this voice. There’s her Elphaba voice. And then there’s her voice on her new album. Versatile indeed!

It’s a gift she went to theater. I’ve seen her in the color purple. Something about her is simply electric
Sorry I missed her!
Adam Lambert is so extra all the time, and I never get tired of it 🤣❤️
Adam sang that tiny bit and I got chills. He's amazing.
This is one of the BEST openings yet!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cynthia’s voice is so EFFORTLESS OMG. & Adam Lambert…talk about understanding the assignment!! 🩵🩵🩵 Loved every moment of this performance
Her voice is remarkable and she makes it looks SO easy.
Look at Miss Cynthia Erivo showing up as a Christmas present and giving us a magical gift with her voice!❤😊
The dress was kinda reminding me of "Annie" 🙂
@@christinemilham2847I see what you mean! 😊
Her dress was indeed a nod to Annie. The musical composer, Charles Strouse, passed away in May & was the first one featured in the “In Memoriam” segment. Another Annie nod was Sara Bareilles & Cynthia Erivo singing “Tomorrow” in that segment.
@@StaceofCakesthank you for letting me know. 😊
Adam tore that up!🤩
Yes.
How could you not love this woman?
All that hardware is very distracting.
@@maurahobart5049clearly you’re easily distracted. There’s medication for that.
Adam made me jump out my chair snapping my fingers in the air. 🔥
I would love to see him and Cynthia on Broadway together or do a musical together.s maybe Mary Poppins. has it been done already? I’m not too sure.
Not her giving us the five star Michelin meal and devoured it down and literally left no crumbs until the dessert came and then ate that too oh my god her voice it so amazing I love it ❤
Adam said, I stay ready baby!
I didn't expect anything less than SPECTACULAR from Miss Cynthia. BRAVO! !

YASSSSSS
5:03 No, you CANNOT follow Adam Lambert, BUT THAT SHOULDER WORK IS FLAWLESS!!! GET IT!

😂
She is magic
2:33 It’s back to back with this woman. Her Grammy Performance, her performance at The Oscars with Ariana Grande … incomparable, now this!!!?!!!!She can’t be stopped!!!!!!! Stream her new album y’all!!!
Yeah her awards show performances have always been incredible. And she’s been doing them all together since wicked
Peridt, don't just stream, buy it ❤❤❤
Yes, but buy the album too. We need to support her if we want her to continue putting out music. And if it’s anything like I Forgive You, yes please.
If I had her voice I would never stop singing. I’d sing everywhere all the time 😅😂
Same 😂
Dude I love Cynthia Erivo she is such an iconnnnnn

And Adam Lambert
I always wonder who I’m gonna STAN OUT over next… she’s amazing!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
What an authentic opening!!! Proud of Cynthia
Like how are you blessed with a voice this beautiful 🥹
I've never giggled and smiled at a Tonys opening number in my life. when Adam SANG I started giggling and smiling ear to ear.
Adam Lambert understood the assignment
She makes me giddy just watching her do her thing! ❤ ❤
PERIODT ADAM !!!! YOU BETTTAAA !!!!!!
YEAHHHHHHH
She is the Voice ❤❤❤❤
Broadway Inspirational Voices Choir has been BOOKED lately! I love it! Well done Cynthia!!
She was fantastic and flawless. One of the BEST hostess in years and her closing song was just as magnificent as the opening song. ❤❤❤❤❤
The vocals, the stage presence, the music, every. thing. stream her album everyone
If Cynthia sang the ingredients on box of Fruit Loops,I would buy it, and I don't even eat Fruit Loops.❤
She did such a wonderful job, and her closing number was so fun and incredible!!
Man, I wish I was in that audience 😩
I’d love to have a mic pointed in my direction by Cynthia and SING 💙😩 I love musical numbers like this especially in that key! Yes!! Adam absolutely slayed!💙 💅 I forgot he can sing in that range

Cynthia Erivo is a global treasure 🥹
The effortlessness of that powerhouse of a performer.... She's incredible.
Her joy during her performances is incomparable. Her smile at the end had me grinning ear to ear.

She can sing (and do) anything. Jazz, R&B, soul, Broadway, pop, the great old standards. Amazing talent.
She literally one of the most flexible and beautiful voices. So strong and powerful and so soft and emotional. Huge fan ❤😍
I love how happy EVERYONE is to see Cynthia Erivo onstage in her element! What a treat!
Her voice always makes me smile
I love that red dress…and being the Tony Awards, of course her dress is giving “Annie” vibes and I am so living for it ❤❤❤
The girl can sing really good. Her rendition of I am telling you should hit number 1 on the Billboard Charts.
She is of higher caliber.
Sometimes all you need is the glorious Cynthia Erivo! ❤❤❤
Her dress is stunning 🤩. And her voice is flawless!
I found out about Cynthia the year she did I'm here at the Tony's so to see her return and perform is truly a full circle moment ❤
What an inviting, joyous, and just phenomenal opener! Cynthia delivered an amazing performance and Adam definitely understood the assignment!
We saw her live and she is nothing short of other-worldly perfection. Captivating and mesmerizing. Her talent, voice, presentation...all out of the park.
FABULOUS! OK ADAM!!! Cynthia can do no wrong!
Cynthia is definitely living up to come an icon
Her voice has a crispness and lightness that I adore.
I am fully committed and will forever worship at the church of Erivo. When she sings - I just stop everything I'm doing and listen.
Her tone is so soft yet her belts are so strong, such a unique combination!🤩
Outstanding!!! The theater kid in me is SCREAMING ❤
I love that her dress is paying homage to ANNIE 🥹❤️❤️❤️
Awesome Job!!! Cynthia was on FIYAAAA , you hosted and sang your face OFFFF❤ Kudos
The whole production was crazy but the choir at the end with Cynthia... loved it!
