    It's her closing night, she can be extra... And by the sound of the audience, it didn't seem like anyone had a problem with the way she sung it.

    I was there that night and the crowd was electric. When Fantasia sang this song it was like a revival and rock concert rolled into one. By the time she got to the end of this song people were on their feet screaming and clapping as if the Holy Ghost was rolling through. I sat two seats over from Ms. Patti Labelle and she was on her feet waving and screaming too as if she was in church. I had already seen the play twice prior to this night. This particular performance was on fire. Amazing!!

    I was front row when i saw this on broadway and Fantasia was crying during this scene.... She went into that character with every bit of spirit... Fantasia made Celie her own....

    This performance is still very chilling and moving all of these years later regardless of the quality of this video! This song was meant and written for strictly for Fantasia! Nobody on earth can sing it like her!

    This was posted 12 years ago, yet I am back to hear the Holy Ghost in this. And the reaction of the recorder, is one of someone who is moved, like they ought to be. Brings me to tears. Everytime.

    Saw the revival 3 weeks ago, for the people who are saying that the audience was rude, I completely disagree. The live performance of this song and many others in the show really makes you want to stand up and cheer halfway through the song (which happened many times). The raw emotion packed into this song is what compels the audience to do what they did in the video and it's not your place to judge how they feel.

    What’s crazy is that any recording of a live Broadway song doesn’t sound nearly as good as it does in person but Fantasia’s performances sound like you’re right there. I can’t even imagine what it was like in person. Profound.

    • @cyrusjbeast
      @cyrusjbeast 2 роки тому +1

      umm no......the narrator is not qualified...she assumed fantasia 'missed a whole verse' at 2:24...when she didn't. Fantasia just took her time with the song (and improvised upwards and held notes out for longer than she did in most performances/the studio version) . Meanwhile Cynthia Screamrivo's voice gave out her last performance of I'm here

    I saw the current Broadway production last week with Cynthia Erivo and Jennifer Hudson...and from the opening number the audience were vocal and enthusiastic. Shouting things like "yes lord" and "you better sing girl" during really emotional parts of songs or speech. It made the show 1000x more enjoyable, no one turned round and said "oh that was rude" or that it ruined the show for them. The entire audience were fully engaged in the show and the actresses themselves said they love how much the audience get involved!

    @jaquen1977 3 роки тому +12

    Let me explain something to people who are making judgments about the audience. I was there that night. This video doesn’t remotely capture the tone, emotion or energy in the room that night. I majored in Theatre at NYU and attend shows regularly, so I’m well aware of the usual Broadway audience decorum. But the call and response reaction to this particular show, this particular performer, and especially on her final night, was more than appropriate. Fantasia fed off it and it launched her to give one of the most incredible performances I’ve ever seen on a stage. You can’t hear clearly on this 13 year old crappy recording, but that night NOBODY with working ears or a good hearing aid had any trouble hearing Fantasia bring the house down. You really just had to be there.

  • @JerkyPuck
    @JerkyPuck 16 років тому +5

    ok, I am a professional actor and singer and let me correct some folks here. Fantasia brought those people to hollerin' and they did what she told em to do. No actor likes a boring audience. The more the audience gives you, the more you give them. And homegirl tore it DOWN. Screw theatre etiquette. Get down and have fun.

    if anyone knows theater history you would know that theater began as participatory where the audience was aloud to shout and talk tot he characters- the observatory theater became later when the theater began to cater to the elite society who went to the opera where they had to be quiet and that's how theater became an observatory entertainment

  • @musicalvibes08

    YEEEEESS!! I cannot wait until Fantasia releases a new album . . . From songs already leaked [ bittersweet, even angels, control freak, man of the house ] I can trully expect her album to be ON ANOTHER LEVEL! I believe the vocal training she received frm this role hasn't added to her SKILL and STYLE!

  • @VocalArmourBearer
    @VocalArmourBearer 11 років тому +12

    The quality of the video itself isn't that great at all. It seems whoever recorded this got too caught up and too excited from Fantasia's amazing performance. But, as a Fantasia fan as well as a fan of this song, I ALWAYS; and I do mean ALWAYS enjoy hearing/watching fantasia perform, especially this song. "I'm Here."

  • @teambama
    @teambama 14 років тому +3

    You guys are funny!! I did go see the Color Purple in Austin. The young lady who played Celie did a good job but she didn't tear this song up. Fantasia has so much emotion in her singing and she lives this song and you can feel it. Seems like she took ya'll to church and that is alright with me! Hopefully I can see her performance and enjoy her singing this song! Also, I would have been saying, "girl you betta sang it " and talking like you all were!!LOL

    While I would rather here Fantasia sing than all of the screaming and of course there is "proper etiquette" when attending broadway shows, however being in attendance at this particular show is extremely moving and empowering at the same time, there is an overwhelming sense of connection and triumph that causes such reaction..believe me, these ladies were NOT "odd man out" by any means!..I saw it in ATL and will be seeing it in LA..it's just that awesome!..thx for the post..in spite of..;o)
