This is a very big song. The opening always gets me every time she fills the stage. All you are aware of is her presence. Then the precision of her voice, even though it is soft, just draws you in almost physically. Then you are trapped and along for the ride. She knows precisely how to push her voice to the limits . I have heard all her songs, live recordings, and studio and I have never heard her waste a note. Every note, word, and her body language makes it living. The first video I saw of Cynthia was a song "Anything worth holding onto" with Scott Allan l. After that song I was hooked for life. If there was only 1 voice, I had to hear for the rest of my life (I hope that never happens, so many great artists) it would be Cynthia Erivo.

I fell in love with her voice before I saw her face or knew anything about her. When the Hugh Jackman video of "From Now On" was going viral, the one where he talks about having surgery the day before the big performance to get the movie "The Greatest Showman" greenlit. He couldn't sing, but they had a stand in (Jeremy Jordan, I think). At the four minute mark a voice cuts through the chorus. The camera pans through this rehearsal looking room to a gorgeous woman standing on a box singing her face off. I made a private deal with God. If I have to come back again, I want her voice and her body. It was another year before I figured out who she was. CYNTHIA ERIVO 👑
