They complimented each other with a well harmonized blend. Neither attempting to outdo the other, overpowering or singing louder. Wonderful performance
Bc they’re theatre actors. They know how to do.lab.or.ate. ❤
compl*e*mented 😊
@@thunderousapplause thanks, genius. doesn't mean you cannot compliment them. What compels people to be so damned obnoxious. Get a life.
@@TonyGloUTubeI believe they did compliment them. What's you're issue?
Their voices blend well together. Great job!
I am impressed -- beautiful.
The backup singers also make it a great rendition!!
They most certainly did. They were awesome.
Yaas, and the orchestra!
They were smooooove!
Beautiful collaboration! I love how Ben is only 30 years old and totally gets the "sounds" that came before him. He's got a lot of soul.
30 yrs old? Wow he does look older but bravo to him he got the sound.
It's the beard. He has a baby face under the fur
Awesome! Cynthia could sing the damn phonebook and be fabulous. They harmonize quite nicely.
😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤ Truth
What’s with the nose ring
Now that's a duet. You can tell they enjoyed the shit out of it too
They were just beautiful together. Their voices and energy blended so well. Bravo!
I love the cream coloured outfits really complimented their look and performance.
I don't know who the genius was who paired these two but, wow, that's a duo I'd love to hear more from. Perfect from start to finish. Everything came together to make this an outstanding performance. Bravo!
Was just watching another duet from them - they bonded when their theatres were across the way in The Colour Purple and Dear Evan Hansen
They’ve done quite a few performances together
I have NO idea Ben Platt had THAT voice. Amazing pairing.
Whattt? He is known exactly for that amazing voice!! "Dear Evan Hansen" is just 👌🏼
They sound so good omg their voices blend so well
God they sound great together-though I think Cynthia’s voice is better suited for this song. But hey, I’m here for it!!!! And not only do they represent England, Nigeria, USA, black folks, white folks, and Broadway, but they’re both part of the LGBTQ community! Represent!!
Happy New Year All!!!!!!🎉❤🏳️🌈🇳🇬🏴
" I think Cynthia’s voice is better suited for this song".........nicely said.
It was ok she had to hold back because of him though
@@Ariesboy4ugood singing is knowing when to hold back and when to belt it out. There’s nothing wrong with a more restrained performance
And Jewish! Great harmonies…in every way!
@@alicee3670 she's not really a belt it out she just puts her spin on it but she sang it how the song was made by the originals I always look forward to seeing the artists own interpretation
Individually and collectively, they are excellent. The backup singers complimented them beautifully.
Excellent cover of this Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson hit. Hope to hear more duets from Cynthia Erivo and Ben Platt.
Two vocal champions!
They’re fantastic together!!!
They are huge fans of each other. Image 30 years of signing collabs in our future. I'm here for it!!!
Take my money right now for those albums
She jumped for that hug,I wil too after that collaboration,you blended very well
This is what a cool morning drive on sunday sounds like.
I'm obsessed with this combo! Wish they would release this into Spotify - All of Cynthia's performances too!
Oh wow, I don't think I even have the words to describe how fantastic this was. Kudos to both Ben and Cynthia.
She’s such an enthralling vocalist.
They can go ahead and record this cover! I love it!!
I have heard the original so many times, I am in my head comparing, it is a Standard & a Classic, Rest In Peace Marvin & Tammy 🤍🕊️🤍
Wow, beautiful. This needs a standing ovation
A duo i never knew that I needed
this was a great match. They harmonized well. great performance.
PURRRRRR-FECTIOON. Smooth as a cat momma's purr, sweet as a kitten. Cynthia and Ben are the cat's meow...LOL...TRULY! I'd love to see these two star in the same Broadway show. And...HUGE SHOUT-OUT to the BAND, BACK-UP SINGERS, and SOUND ENGINEERS. It's so tough to get everything lined up as perfect as it was here. KENNEDY CENTER ENGINEERS & PROFESSIONALS ARE THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS! (And know, I don't get paid to say that...I have just listened to a mess of performances over the years. I have been a radio producer and engineer and know how hard it is to balance so many different voices, instruments, etc. live on stage). THIS IS TOP NOTCH STUFF HERE AND I HOPE FOLKS APPRECIATE HOW HARD THE FOLKS BEHIND THE SCENES WORK. Thanks, Kennedy Center for posting all these amazing talented people doing what they love.
Benji you better sang boy 💃🏾🕺🏿
Love them both! Excellent job from 2 Broadway stars!!!
She is vocal master
Waited so long to hear Ben sing this song! So incredibly talented, as a singer myself, it makes me so happy to so what hard work and time can do to a voice!
This man's voice oh my gosh😊❤
Oh my one of the best Marvin Gaye duets live ever what a great performance
another Kennedy Center classic
Two broadway superstar, I could not ask for more this year❤❤❤
Love Ben Platts voice and movements while singing - he is top talent and gets so into his performances!! He has moved very high on my bucket list of performers I must see on person! 3:00
Both of these artists are incomparable!
Love Cynthia Eriva!!!!!
Me too
Erivo. But yes! Me too!
Had the pleasure of watching this special tonight. Her power and understanding of every song she sings (and performs ) is joyous and beyond comparison as she is clearly aware of the shoulders of the great ladies who came before her. ( I spied a tattoo of Ladyday on her arm as testament to this). My only gripe is that the concert was clearly longer and I selfishly wanted to savour more of this ladies talents .
Look for her concert at Royal Albert Hall if you have not seen it. It's here on UA-cam, and it's fantastic.
Thanks yes seen that and again annoyed with myself for not going!!!! Happy New Year!@@really49
