Love you Cynthia. When I need motivation, all I need is to hear you sing or talk and my batteries are recharged. Thank you.

This is clearly a significant moment in Cynthia’s career where people began to really see her skill as a vocalist who has music theory training. Perfect pitch in order to hear the notes she doesn’t know before she sings them. Natalie’s version is incredible and I know she rehearsed hard. Yes she can also read music and is a fantastic vocalist and her attention to tonality and placement is incredible. Natalie is incredible. Period. I’m solely talking about the musicianship Cynthia displays. She pulled that out of nowhere.

What a blessing! Thank you, Cynthia Erivo.

her voice tugs at heartstrings 😩

They were together then?

My mom, my best friend, passed 2 weeks ago. I played this song for her on her last day. It contained everything that was in my heart in that moment. It was a blessing to share it with her. Thank you for this beautiful song, and also for the beautiful and sensitive performance.

This song got me through my Mom's passing. She suffered a lot and I imagined her ascending to this song. Thank you for writing this song and Cynthia for performing it so beautifully

Watching this in 2024 as an OG fan, absolutely ugly crying because “I hope I made you both proud” & BABY WE ARE SO PROUD!!!

Unadorned, especially without her cow hoop, Erivo is beautiful!

Her voice is insane😮❤

Beautiful, don’t you agree?

I wish I lived in london during this time. to experience this voice, emotion and vulnerability in-person. this screen nor these speakers does any justice

Perfect.

Que lindo

Their voice fantastic, wow and their chemistry gives me butterflies 😂

I loved every second of this song. I smiled the whole way through

He's so incredible!!!!!!

Luv this song. So emotional 💗💝.

Just discovering this at the end of 2024, and it's still amazing.

That was incredible!

This is where I met Cynthia

My heart❤

Im obssed with her!

I'm so Grateful for her

Nice

Yes Cynthia!!!!

2:20 this is beautiful. Stephen Schwartz has got me in a puddle of tears again. His music is such a gift. And I think this is my favorite rendition.

I know that tone, emotion, and soul anywhere!

Jamie had me living every word with him.

I remember that night

Hadn’t heard this one! Great song!

Goosebumps!!! I am hoping for a Scott and Willemijn reunion soon. 🙏🏻

Oh my gosh! I clearly came here for her, but I mean… I’m a fan of his now! The chemistry is insane. And his voice is crazy! Like the male version of hers frankly, lol.

You probably hear this a lot, but this song helped save my life. Thank you. ❤

Fucking beautiful! The talent on that stage! Wow!

Yes! Keep posting! Love your songs! Love Oliver Tompsett! The combo is perfection! Love you & other artists singing your songs! It’s always a win-win! Can’t get enough! We need more concerts like this in the U.S. please!

Have had the pleasure of seeing Cynthia perform several times. She has such soul to her voice, thank you for sharing this one.

You didn't disappoint us as Elphie, Cynthia. You're amazing. Give us a live Defying Gravity now!

Is anyone else here after the wicked movie remembering this is the first time you heard of this talented woman?! Probably a bit niche 😂

Best rendition ever! 🎉 I go back to this like every year

*Amazing!* 🚽🧻💩💩💩

Most beautiful voice of this generation

This is the most beautiful thing ever

If Cynthia Erivo, Shoshana Bean & Willemijn Verkaik were a female group, they would be "The 3 Green Queens". 3:00 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

3:40 all day

2024 anyone? 🎧🎧😢😢

After 35 years of fighting the past 6 have been the very worst. Hopeless, isolated, deteriorating & alone seeking help/support from a world filled with people who don’t care &/or don’t understand. Thus far unsuccessful yet daily try & muster the strength to continue to hang in there. Destined it seems to fight the torture which is my mind, heart & soul, alone.

i am seeing my life in a way i had not awake through your eyes I see all i forgot you created a home filled with love and respect i abused it at times, made it hard to connect and each piece of my life has been proof of regrets and the things i can't change i don't want to forget but say goodbye to the girl who was scared to let go not who's yearning to see life outside the unknown i am destined to prove i am ready to fly show me how to say goodbye to the old... i made work my life, wouldn't settle for less always fought hard to prove that i'd be the best i closed down my heart, love could not come inside that's the moment i felt the old me start to die a career on the rise, no one else to protect i started shedding my skin till there was none of me left say farewell to that girl who's forgotten her pride say hello to the girl who is rising inside she won't hold back my life, can't sit here and repent show me how to say goodbye... there was a life within me, but then it started fading i lost the someone i had always dreamed i'd be i need to stop pretending but i can't change my ending you'd never let my spirit die this way tell me who walks away when life's just beginning? say hello to the world that i thought that was there was a prisoner inside now i'm breathing the air yesterday's old cocoon will hatch a new butterfly show me how to say goodbye to the old... and welcome the new goodbye

2024 and im still here ❤

11 years later and I’m still just as amazed by this performance as I was the first time I heard it
