The I’m here part gets me every time🥲

The pause before “I’m beautiful” 😭 amazing!

7/8 years later and I’m still here watching this video as if it was my first

I don't need you to love me I don't need you to love I've got.. I've got.. I've got my sister, I can feel her now She may not be here, but she's still mine I know she still love me Got my children, I can't hold them now They may not be here, but they're still mine I hope They know I still love them Got my house, it still keep the cold out Got my chair when my body can't hold out Got my hands doing good like they s'posed to Showing my heart to the folks that I'm close to Got my eyes though they don't see as far now They see more 'bout how things really are now I'm gonna take a deep breath Gonna hold my head up Gonna put my shoulders back And look you straight in the eye I'm gonna flirt with somebody When they walk by I'm gonna sing out Sing out I believe I have inside of me Everything that I need to live a bountiful life And all the love alive in me I'll stand as tall as the tallest tree And I'm thankful for every day that I'm given Both the easy and hard ones I'm livin' But most of all, I'm thankful for Lovin' who I really am I'm beautiful Yes, I'm beautiful And I'm here

Wow

it moved me not because of belting but because of emotions, music and voice.

Anyone else here after Cynthia admitted this was the hardest song she ever had to sing

almost threw my shoe at the tv cause WHAT 😮‍💨

Does anybody have the lyrics?

Someone tell me what their saying???

She's just not human. She has a gift. Actually, she IS the gift.

Celie has never had a touch of romantic tenderness in her life. Her also discovering she loves women and loves Shug is so profound.

This is my first time watching this and i'm bawling my eyes out. This is one of the best performances I have ever watched omg

Like if you watch this after the vanity fair video with Ariana?

She makes me cry, I just can't. WHAT?

Its a shame that I cant see this in a full version! Im in love. Thank you for posting these!

Oh my GOSH im in actual SHOCk i got chills during this entire song protect her at all costs ILY SM CYNTHIA

This production was really something else.

whenever I watch this clip, I bawl my eyes out

she was BORN for this!!!!!

❤❤❤

So perfect! Wow!

Taylor swift could neverrrrrrrrr

This is the first time I have heard Cynthia Erivo sing… wow.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I CANTTTT

She makes it look so easy. Absolutely incredible ❤️

Here after she said in an interview this is the hardest song she's sung. Wow, She makes it look easy!

2:24 in my first time watching and I’m crying

the g at 3:08 is like magic to me. i wish I could hear that note sang over and over on repeat for the rest of my life.

The first "tears" does it every time! 😭

Like if you’re watching this after her VF interview

4:35

who's here after the vanity fair video? god this was amazing

Dear god this is amazing

"I maybe poor, I maybe black, I maybe ugly.... BUT, I'M HERE!" OH MY DEAR GOD. I watched the brazilian version of the show, and I'm very happy to meet this AMAZING SHOW!

CHILL@SSSS

This song had the entire audience in tears. Standing ovation. Amazing! ♥️♥️♥️

The walk after she just demolished the stage is epic !

She's so talented 😊

God damn the lungs on this woman that is incredible. No wonder they cast her for wicked.

Still watching this in 2024. Really love the entire cast, especially Carrie, Rima and of course, Cynthia. <3

I MAY BE POOR, I MAY BE BLACK, I MAY BE UGLYYYYYYYYYY, BUT IM HEREEEEEEEE!!!

Thia song has pulled me through so many times

I sat in the audience, tears streaming down my this song has elements that can resonate with almost every human being on the planet. Especially those of a certain age who have experienced the ups and downs of life, and survived. And that survival can shine as a testimony to the power of endurance and finding your worth and value.

honestly i feel like this is where celie fell in love with shug and also possibly where shug started to feel for celie in that way because celie had been called ugly her whole life and now, finally, she’s being called beautiful by this woman she perceives to be more attractive than her

oh my gosh i never knew that im here was about shug

Wait so is the reunion not in this version??

love that walk at the end!

JENNIFER DID IT BETTER

I remember when I first discovered this video I watched and listened to it over and over again for weeks, months. I was OBSESSED WITH THIS entire performance. Cynthia Erivo is so incredible even still to this day I get shivers and enjoy this all over again.
