I can't believe I just happened to discover this. It's like winning the lotto or seeing the eighth wonder of the world. The more I watch it the more amazed I am and I love the train whistle and the amazed looks on the peoples faces.
I don’t remember how many times I have watched this. She is fabulous! No fancy band, no elaborate custom just a boom box and her voice... this is truly a singer!
10 years later just came across this for the first time! That woman's got a powerful voice. And the video really deserves more views. May be considered rewarding the title slightly also including cover. Hope she still doing her thing! Respect
This is a beautiful moment of humanity, when we can all stop running for a minute to notice and appreciate another human giving people something to stop for. Let’s feed each other’s souls and live in peace.
Imagine the title of this video was An Almost Splendid Vocal Performance in a New York City Subway Fails When Singer Changes Lyrics. Absurd, right? Best wishes to Alice Ridley!
What a lovely, GOD gifted, fabulous, talented soul. Ms. Alice T. Ridley, without a shadow of a doubt, GOD is going to take you place your never would have imagined!!!!! Your voice is so vibrant, rich, strong, beautiful, there is no stopping you now!!!!!!!
I would rather hear her sing this song than the original artist. This makes one want to go to New York, hang in the subways, just to wait to hear this beautiful lady sing. She is solid gold platinum supreme. She is singing her heart to support her children. What a love she must have for her children. Her children are so fortunate to have such a wonderful mother as this lady. Mahalia Jackson would have thrilled within her soul to of have heard this lady sing.
Just seen your audition on America has got talent :-) wow I'm now addicted to your voice and music. Well done and bring back the oldies so the young generation know what real music is:-) Ben London
i would buy evrything she puts out. This is what"s missing in our music TRUE SOUL......love it. God Bless youi Mrs. Alice..........Vote for her on America's Got Talent.
Well done ALICE RIDLEY and what a fantastic voice and rendition to Gladys night and the pips MIDNIGHT TRAIN TO GEORGIA You are a star in the making. Good luck and a big hug from LONDON ENGLAND.
I Love this Video so much😊Alice Delivered this Song🎤I Think Ms Gladys Knight would be Proud too👍🏽Continued Blessings🌹Beautiful ♥️Queen Elizabeth Thomas-Bryant🙋🏽♀️
i could lave a coment on each and every one of these of alices performances and they would all be the same a star is born on each one .the woman is a superstar
I have a million things to do today, but I just can't find the strength To just walk away from watching and listening to Alice Tan Ridley sing, she's an amazing woman with such a beautiful voice it's like a magnet that just keeps pulling me back
I lived in Manhattan for a decade... and my office was just off the 34th St. station. Saw and heard Alice several times. Really attention-catching in person.
THANKS for sharing this piece of magic with us! Truly AMAAAAAAZING voice! Definitely up there with the GREATS! Aretha Franklins, Houston, Gladys Knight ....its a TRAVESTY she hasn't been signed?? wtf??
Look at all those people on the verge of tears. True artist doesnt matter where they come from can make you feel emotions. This is something truly lacking in today's music industry, all the justin biebers, miley cyrus, nicki munaj with sold out arenas cant hope to duplicte what you just witnessed here
The depth of soul that the people are feeling while hearing her sing is striking them with such awe, that they are speechless, for she has lulled them into another world of bliss, and that is why you are seeing the responsive looks on their faces. Their hearts are breaking at the seems, while they behold her genuine performance. For this beautiful lady to be able to sing like this, she has definately known the depths of a broken heart, and she is bleeding her blues before these people.
What a performance... So many people standing in amazement and not a camera phone in sight, just watching and appriciating the talent in front of their eyes.
This is so beautiful...in so many ways. This person is beautiful...like from deep within! I am very touched. I am sening all my love from Switzerland over there!
Thank God that lady used her ever so natural talent, and really learnt to sing with feeling that wonderful song , I have not heard it sung with depth of correct expression for every word, good on her, those so so lucky people in the subway
If Alice's voice and performance here does not move you, you are either dead inside or completely deaf. The lady that places her hand on her mouth as she listens, certainly gets it.
I would have missed like 3 trains listening to her sing 😂 ...oh my God 😮 amazing voice... truly blessed
I second that she brilliant. I hope she doing well with her career.
This proves the greatest talents lie undiscovered. WOW, JUST WOW!!
And some with limited talent are making millions🤢
This is Gabourey Sidibe's mother. I love her! Heard her sing many times in the subway. She is AWESOME!!!
@@Abymilde Wait. What? What did Veronica say that was _trying to be funny?_ She speaks the truth. Alice IS Gabourey's mother.
Wish I heard her live in the NYC subway when we visited
@@f32440i plus she interacted with the crowd. She was very personable and likable.
I would pay to hear this live
very emotional it made me cry, I love it.
me too! her auro reaches out and grabs your heart!
Imagine if all those standing there & enjoying her voice gave 1.00 each.
I am crying, it touch my soul. And it touched peoples.. You can read it in their eye's.
Yes!!!
I can't believe I just happened to discover this. It's like winning the lotto or seeing the eighth wonder of the world. The more I watch it the more amazed I am and I love the train whistle and the amazed looks on the peoples faces.
Very well said.
You're a hall of fame in my book;) awesome voice....
shes a natural ...cant learn what she does here.period.
I don’t remember how many times I have watched this. She is fabulous! No fancy band, no elaborate custom just a boom box and her voice... this is truly a singer!

Trev Mac 💯
She has almost made a grown man cry with that beautiful voice, it cut right through to my soul. What an amazing Lady.
I have been singing this song with Gladys all of my life and NOT ONCE was I ever touched or crying. Ms. Ridley is truly singing from her heart.
She is amazing! Just as beautiful as her daughter, and my God what presence! You can see she has her audience mesmerized....
Mesmerized & hopefully monetized her audience.
lord we are a blessed people
This is a beautiful moment of humanity, when we can all stop running for a minute to notice and appreciate another human giving people something to stop for. Let’s feed each other’s souls and live in peace.
I feel like people don’t stop to enjoy absolutely beautiful performances like this anymore

She has talent but it is unfortunate that Hollywood is more about looks than actual talent.
Alice Ridley is the 9TH wonder of the world!

I can't stop watching this lady. she's so soulful. i love her.

This my first time seen this vdo , she is absolutely amazing very good voice. Has she ever entered AMERICAN GOT TALENT?
she was in AMERICAN GOT TALENT IN 2010. SHE REACHED THE SEMIFINALIST (TOP 20)

Beautiful powerful soulful voice! When the video was done, i was like WOOOOW! What did I just watch and listen to? OMG what a legendary voice!
She's the star of the movie "Precious" mother. The award winning main character named Precious is her child. Talent must run in their genes.
