Her voice is absolutely immaculate
Amen
Yes!!!
The best singer of our generation. She is the Barbra of our generation. Just my opinion.
😳
Well said! ❤
lol. maybe best in the uk.
Nailed that combo reference child
I wish y’all would let ppl be great without mentioning other incomparable singers 😭😭😭
Cynthia Erivo's vocal performances are a combination of talent and years of technical TRAINING. It is MORE than just being intentional. Anyone can be INTENTIONAL, but if you do not have the talent or training, you will not render a performance such as this. Erivo does something today that almost no other singer in the Pop Music genre does: She merges her stellar classical singing and Musical Theater acting training with Pop and Soul vocals.
Most of Erivo's vocal performances are almost "technically" flawless.
100%. Celie in The Color Purple musical is one of the most vocally demanding roles out there and that was her breakout performance that first brought attention to her talent and won her the 2016 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical. And now she will be Elphaba in the Wicked movie musical. Another vocally demanding role. You'd have to have that sort of training to be able to even perform those roles at a professional level in the first place.
She has a very special gift.
Cynthia consistently meets the moment. She pairs so well with symphonies. Chefs kiss!
This was the performance of the entire show!! Cynthia Erivo is a BEAST! Her artistry and technique is so amazing and just flawless. She brought Dionne to tears!!!
Wasn't it lovely how Dionne Warwick was so clearly touched, and honored by these performers?
I feel bad for whoever had to follow her!!
Clarity, warmth and intelligence come through her eyes, voice and soul. She is a diva who has earned her accolades. Perfection.
Extraordinary.
She had the whole audience captivated. I cannot stop rewatching. Ms. Erivo is here to remind us that there are still real DIVAS amongst us. Salute 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I’m ADDICTED TO HER MAGICAL PERFORMANCE: Love 🩵that dress 👗 and her VOICE IS IMMACULATE❗️PERFECTION 💥Sooo DOPE 🔥🌟💫✨
Yeees!!
This song was meant for a broadway talent such as hers. She took the original song and added intentional inflection that was perfect.
Jaron: You see what i'm saying?
Me nodding at my screen: yeah, uh huh 🤓
for some reason cynthia’s live performances always make me cry 😭 her tone is so beautiful and how she just… ugh i dont even know how to describe it and how her singing makes me feel
She’s anointed. Her gift is what blesses your soul.
Shelia E’s face is my face right now. I love love love her controlled vibrato.
Cynthia is SO CONSISTENT! She just gets it and DOES it in her perfect way.
Baby! She knocked that out the park
Miss Erivo, NEVER disappoints. This woman is up there with the Greats. I love that she doesn't do all the runs and riffs that a lot of these artist are doing these days. She is like those singers of the past because they would sing the song...and Dionne and Gladys have both said that in order to make the song believable is to sing the lyrics, because if you don't, it takes away the integrity of a song...Just like if say, if a singer would add riffs, runs and adlibs to this song it would take away the nature, meaning and integrity of this beautiful song. That's why when you hear singers today do songs like this and they try to do it their way, half the time you don't recognize the song because they do wayyyyyy to much. Miss Erivo did an EXCELLENT Job in interpreting Alfie. I loved this performance....so did the audience and especially Miss Warwick...she did her justice.
This song has so many dynamics. How cool?!🤗 What a journey. Haven't witnessed vocal mastery like this in a long time. Whitney was an intentional singer. Ledisi is an intentional singer....Phyllis Hyman...just to name a few. I'm loving this...
If you look back at the history of the song, it was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the movie "Alfie" starring Michael Caine as a total cad who had women falling off him, begging for his love, while he refused to settle down with anyone, love and relationships being something that cramped his style. This performance encapsulates every nuance of the story line singing as one of those enamoured women who is trying to get him to understand love. I hear this so clearly in this stunning performance, a perfect interpretation of the true meaning of the song.
Thank you for the background story of the character Alfie. It’s as if Alfie was somewhere close by listening to counsel. Her soft tone, her smile. It all makes sense now. She’s a storyteller indeed. Mesmerizing! That’s what it was!!!
Well said.
Thank you for sharing this. While I know of the movie, this rendition made me want to watch the film.
She whistled, "Have Yourselfa Merry Little Christmas" on Jimmy Fallon and it was amazing! Just tremendous use of her instrument.
He reacted to that in his shorts
I still have chills from that❤
Dis she whistle it though her bull nose ring?
I’M SO GLAD YOU REVIEWED THIS PERFORMANCE 😭!! I love Cynthia smm, also she practices A LOT (sport) and I think it’s one of the reasons why she’s got such an outstanding control over her voice. I admire her so much, I love your content btw!!!🧘🏾✨
I know this video is about her voice, but may we PLEASE shout out her STUNNING LOOK?!? SLAAAY QWEEN!! 👸🏿
Her voice is exquisite. I loved watching Dionne's face watching her sing - you can tell she truly enjoyed it. 😊
If she wasn't telling a story, then I don't know who was! I loved this performance, and I'm glad you broke it down for us. 😊
She most definitely is one of my favorite singers-and YESSS, brother-you analyzed this video brilliantly! Go Cynthia; you absolutely nailed this performance!🗣️🎙️💨 #SweetSpirit😇
My Introduction to Cynthia Erivo was when she performed as Celie in The Color Purple Musical on Broadway. My goodness, I was taken ABACK at her voice. What a gift.
She gives me the same feeling and emotion that Whitney did whenever she sang… Cynthia is simply OUTSTANDING!
My God!! I absolutely adore Cynthia!!! Her voice is immaculate!! 😭
Her dynamics add so much character and life to the lyrics. She is a treasure.
Some folks will be naming their kids 'Alfie' after this performance. Incredible. Thanks for the analysis 😊
I was being lazy about my vocal exercises. Until I heard this performance. This was the best I've ever heard her! She has definitely inspired me!
She was outstanding!!!!! She will be the one gettinf awarded the prestigious honor one day.
She's got a Tony and a Grammy plus two Oscar nominations. She's on her way.
The fact that you're so clearly knowledgeable about the craft of singing and still said (multiple times) in this video that you're still learning is such a display of humility that all REAL mentors and true artists should strive to possess. It raises a red flag for me when an instructor attempts to project an all-knowing image because the inherent beauty of all art forms lies in the enigmatic quality that transcends mere technical correctness. The true beauty of ALL art forms is that no matter how technically proficient an artist may be, there is always that added mystery of something that you can't quite put your finger on which can catapult a sound, dance, speech, painting, sculpture, etc from simply being a creative display of self expression into the realm of becoming ART.
Exactly. There is a craft to being a great singer!
I WAS WAITING FOR YOU DAWG FOR YOU TO REVIEW THIS!
this was a polished, captivating performance just flawless. Her voice, expression, and the dress. Dreamy and class at its finest. The orchestra. Just a moment in time.
This is so good!!! It has me just itching to hear her sing in Wicked!!! I will probably cry during Defying Gravity.
@steppa02 when she sings that there will be standing ovations in movie theaters!
When she sang and held "Nothing", the note floated out of her and filled the entire room! Cynthia Erivo is so gifted!
She sang that song like the look of her dress….DREAMY!!!!
Cynthia reminds me of Whitney - great pronunciation. You never have to wonder what words are being sung.
She's phenomenal. I didn't know this song prior to her performance of it, and what an introduction to it!
It's a great pop standard, 😊
Damn, Dionne was blessed to have this tribute. The pride on her face made me teary eyed 🥲
I’ve watched HER PERFORMANCE about 30x’s now!!!!! One of my fave performances of her. Just a raw talent.
Baby… the way she HELD THAT STRAIGHT NOTE!!! If I had on a wig… I woulda THREW IT ACROSS THE ROOM 😤😤😤
I love her voice, my namesake( Cynthia) sings absolutely Beautiful!
The lil Sistah call Sing Y’all, with or without an orchestra!
Happy Holidays Jaron! 🎄 🥰
Intelligent singing!
Her classical training + her innate talent + her intelligent singing = spell-binding performances. (Watch the audience - they’re mesmerized!)
What a gift, Cynthia! Thank you for sharing your intelligence, gifts and training. ❤️
Cynthia is such an incredibly gifted singer. I liked her version of the song from beginning to end.
She was the best performance of the show. I hadn’t heard the song Alfie in years.
Dang that girl can SANGGG!!!😮❤❤
Your analysis is spot on, I’m a musician and I’ve played over 20 instruments in my life. I would trade all of it if I could sing ! Peace and love 🎶💕🙏🏾
You're very blessed and talented!
I saw you review the short and thought, NOOO, please do the whole thing. 🤣 Thank you, Sensei. ✨
Season’s Greetings from the Cbean 🌴🎄 I LOVE her voice, she has that “movie magical voice” 👍🏾💜
Yes, I would love to see her in a Musical! 🎤 🎶 💃
She was recently on Jimmy Fallon and she is currently working on the set of Wicked, which also features Ariana Grande. I can't wait to see it; she is also a phenomenal actress.
@@cynthiajones6013She won a Tony for playing Celie in The Color Purple on Broadway
@@annetteharris8296 That’s Awesome!

This performance blew me away when I saw it last night! I think it was the BEST performance of the evening. She is such a pro. I'm so glad you decided to analyze it because you are an expert at telling us WHY singers sound so good.
YES YES YES 😤😤😤😤 The performance was absolutely amazing. The tone, the clarity, the outfit 😩 perfection and the analysis on top?!? Will be rewatching this 😂
She is fantastic!!! I noticed her in Harriett. Yes!! Glad she kept the song classic and made it her own at the same time! Enjoyed your analysis!!!!
This was breath taking!!! What a God given talent
Cynthia Erivo has such a magical voice, I cannot wait to see her performance as Elphaba in Wicked. I would love to see you react to more Cynthia! I’m Here and Stand Up are just phenomenal. Love your videos, brilliant reaction as always.

I cried watching her sing this. Thank you for your tutelage. I'm a singer too and you...thank you. Blessings 🙌🏾
She never disappoints. What a beautiful voice and performance EVERY TIME ❣️Brava Ms. Erivo👏🏾
Casting her as Elphaba is probably one of the best casting choices in years. It’s like hitting a home run while winning the oscars while winning the lottery in every state.
Yes!!!! I was waiting for you to do an analysis on Cynthia's performance! ! Her voice is so amazing!! The control and dynamics everytime she sings!! Just....wow!!! 💗 💓 💖 💕
As soon as I heard this the other night, I said "Jaron HAS to analyze this!" Her performance was immaculate. So much control and so many wonderful choices.

She delivers EVERY time.
Thanks so much for the detailed breakdown.
Was hoping you'd do a full analysis of this performance. Man, she had me in tears! The orchestra, her attire, and her voice was superb.
I can see how she will sound as Elphaba in the Wicked Movie. Her tone is phenomenal.

She brought tears to my eyes. Just amazing.
You are such an INCREDIBLE teacher and I love your analysis videos because you make singing approachable. I often focus too heavily on a piece as a whole that I neglect to specify and hone what I’m doing along the way. Thank you for sharing your passion with us 💝
Love Her!
Love your Honesty in how you explained your breakdown.
Exquisite...👏🏽👏🏽
She looked BEAUTIFUL
Her Gown and the color of her Gown was perfection 💙

Loved it! Thank you! Listening to Cynthia always gives me goosebumps and teary eyes...
Cynthia was a perfect candidate to tribute Dionne. The songs Dionne sang were vocally complex in terms of delivery and dynamics.
I enjoyed it immensely. Your commentary is everything. Happy New Year.

It was magnificent!!! I've watched it SOOOO many times! Just the pureness of her voice is everything.
Oh my goodness!!! Cynthia Erivo has a beautiful gift. I literally got chills with her notes. Underrated singer !!! Beautiful!! Everything is so clear!
Your analysis was absolutely fascinating. Thank you ! I learned so much from listening to you this evening. Geo.
If you listen to Dionne sing this song, she does the same with her enunciation, control, and grace !
I'm so happy I found this vocal reaction...I learned a lot... it's like I'm in a online voice lesson!❤️ Thank you so much for this video...God bless!
