Cynthia Erivo & Shoshana Bean perform "The Prayer" at The Apollo on 12.16.19

[@iago07]

ONE. How does Cynthia always have perfect pitch?! TWO. Shoshana has so much soul. THREE. These two might be the best duo we have anywhere right now in the world!!

[@darren-leecarolissen5549]

We want an ALBUM TOGETHER

[@Rosannasfriend]

OK first Cynthias high piercing voice was really slaying me in the best way, then Shoshana took over with those amazing buttery lows.

[@jayahmier1077]

Cynthia just got it! She's so underrated. Color me purple? Colored me all colors in the rainbow 🌈 the moment she started singing! ♥️

[@terrencebogan9507]

The total Praise at the End made my body go into another REALM oh my god 😨😨😨😨

[@rellenoz]

Oh they was wrong for doing me like that! I didn't want to cry today! OMG!

[@Rosannasfriend]

Wow! When it started I wasn't sure I was going to like this version, because I get out that the arrangement was different in the background. Sounded kind of jazzier, and I wasn't sure it would work. But I trust of these ladies and their gift, and not only did they turn it out, but the arrangement worked in the end. Amen!

[@jovonclement]

Beautiful....

[@seanyates5769]

The most amazing part is Shoshana singing the High and Low notes. Cynthia is so smooth and angelic but she’s a classical mezzo. Sho has always had the range of a Spinto. It’s what makes their voices beautifully matched.

[@giomig86]

They look beautiful

[@aceofshrines]

Sublime. Simply perfect. This touched my soul and spoke words I didn’t know I needed to hear. ✨

[@lordgaga27]

Audience awhhh when cynthia starts singing because of her beautiful voice or because they just finally gets, it's the prayer song originally sung by celine Dion and andrea bocelli.

[@bbetkowski4391]

Simply delightful! So much better than others!

[@chocothun1]

COME ON HERE!!!!!

[@chocothun1]

Seeeee...I was doing real good at the end of the song. Then them amens came and swooped in and swept me up.

[@andersonjaymez]

I wasn't expecting it!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Karamelk4]

I. Was. Not. Ready. 🥴 UN-Ravelled!!!!

[@M4D4H3]

Thank you for sharing! :)

[@sergiocarneiro3703]

Vejo dois Anjos cantando!!! Formidável!!!!

[@boseknows0]

Why does it feel like this musical arrangement doesn't support the vocals? It sounds very off to my ear, and yet they're both so astonishingly amazing they don't seem at all thrown by it.

[@beckswin]

I hear that too

[@TheyNeedUsToo]

Exactly

[@redjupiter2]

Kevin Boseman The performance was recorded live with a single microphone on the camera that you are seeing the video from. It seemed there was a bit of laughter from the audience just as Ms Erivo was beginning to sing, most likely something off camera caused that laughter...Many things happen in live performances. What is clear is that both of these beautiful women are absolute professionals and did not skip a beat in presenting their beautiful performance.

[@cathycath]

Is this on Spotify????? I NEED THIS ON SPOTIFY

[@gruweldaad]

Wish they hadn't cut out the italian part.

[@outinsider]

Tasty's Passover Seder brought me here.

[@aldomanurung7236]

The music sound not quitely match to the vocals..

[@chelsie2880]

I thought I was the only one!! I kinda wish it was just their voices

[@seanyates5769]

Anyone that doubts Sho is a Soprano. Watch this

[@iago07]

Cynthia: I... Everybody: BITCH YOU BETTA SANG HUNNY!!! FrhbhujkhftvGgG!

[@shinrin-yoku3877]

This was before the pandemic

[@spikemel2010]

This is good. I wanted to love it, but there was something missing. Perhaps they didn't get to rehearse a lot

[@homodeus8713]

It’s the mixing.

[@chrismartinez1121]

Sorry but the drummer started off beat. Get with the program! Maybe don't play the snare drum dude!! From 1 drummer to another!

[@jesusmariacatalanventura8174]

The voices are just amazing, but sorry, that music arrangement doesn't work at all... That song is a classic, and you must follow the melody step by step, so much riffs are not working

[@brandonlenoire3821]

throw the background singers away

[@ekwrocks]

Ok but Cynthia’s dress tho... a bit over the top for me!!

[@user-yg1pe6wt2f]

I mean she sounds like an actual angel so might as well dress like it 😍

[@teainortakoy]

Reminds of a frizzle chick!! It's a compliment though, you can't cuter little chicks than frizzle chicks! :) www.knowyourchickens.com/frizzle-chicken/
