Cynthia Erivo - Midnight Train To Georgia

[@01jeanie]

What i love about Cynthia is that when she sings i believe her. She doesn't oversing, she's not trying to impress. She's conveys emotion so well.

[@TheANDICEE]

No loud hollering or screaming AND you can understand every word. 🥰 #LoveHer S/N: I love the way she dresses.

[@FKotun]

Would be great if she could do an album of classic songs. She's Special. Her unique interpretation of songs is amazing.

[@ellenlyons4090]

I didn’t think anyone would ever sing this as well as Gladys Knight but this comes close. Brilliant.

[@robertvanruyssevelt7159]

Exactly. Gladys Knight has never been bettered and still sings this beautifully. But Ms Erivo is a fine singer.

[@DGP653]

Yes…but no one can take this away from Gladys’ emotional take! One has to feel it to deliver it and Cynthia just doesn’t reach that plateau!

Midnight train to Georgia still belongs to Gladys. Heard many versions, but hers still wins, hands down!

[@dixieclapper9362]

Absolutely!

[@lukethomas658]

I love her take on this song. Just the right mix of interpretation with respect to Gladys Knight and the Pips.

[@LeonGreen-uf2nc]

The difference in between her and Gladys. Is that glad it's no more? What to say when to say? Then? How a very nice voice. And she did a great job on what she did. Glasses have Gladys has deep soul. Glad it would have been worse much more sofa. But she did the basic first verse in the second verse was the Basic of Gladys. And she added a little bit her voices, it's more softer.

[@AirForceFalcons_9922]

​@@LeonGreen-uf2nc Lay off the booze and marijuana. Your comment is totally incomprehensible 🙄🙄🙄

[@LeonGreen-uf2nc]

@@AirForceFalcons_9922 Did your a** get mad at me because I said that she don't really have her own see I'm used to people taking songs and make it their own, she didn't make it. Oh, she has a nice voice. I'm not gonna take her take that away from. She Pretty much sung it like last night. Did. It was new creativity in a voice. She sounded more like glass, but she has a nice voice, but she aint no Gladys. I tell you what. What you do, pull up the o j's and listen to Wild flower. Listen to the o j's saying wild flower. I listen to the original person who sang wildflower. And you'll see the difference, you'll see that. Eddie lavert mate, the song his own. When he went to the second verse. That's what i'd be looking for I'm a singer myself so I don't know what I'm looking for so don't tell me. That I need to stay off the wine. But you don't know what the h*** you talk about and s*** your a** up.

I love her take of the song. She has got such a smooth voice and I love her intonations. It feels like it is soft rain on my window. Gladys thanks for this song ma’am and this lady respected it and you.

[@GodsChild4Ever446]

I wonder if people recognize that this song is a story that’s being told straight through set to music. Not a big old bump to it not a necessary rhyme to it or reason to it. It’s just a story of love, journey, passion, and drive simply musical genius❤❤❤

[@alanpease8474]

Cynthia has a way of making anything she sings her very own. There is no imitation of the classic here but a new and refreshing version. Add in the orchestra and the background singers and you have a new classic. She even thanked each one of the background singers by name. Wow!

[@THECHICHIHUB]

And this my people is black excellence simplified. The black woman is the purest form of art

[@Purpledawg-d9s]

Talent. Greatness. Skill. None of it is limited by skin color. Nor is the appreciation of such.

[@ocanica3184]

I love Gladys and the Pips and no one comes close but this rendition is beautiful and tasteful, not overdone. She and the entire orchestra made it their own, well done!

[@barbarathomas9925]

Very very few people can sing this song with soul & do it justice. She does ❤️👏

[@dukester9506]

Ma am it's clear you don't know what soul is. This is pure trash! The worse singer in my aunt's church choir would blow this lady out water. Cynthia Erivo is a tool of white entertainment investors to copy and cosplay black artists and movies. She deserves no accolades or opportunities she has been given.

I wouldn't have touched this after the soulful interpretation by Gladys Knight.

[@RalphArnold-x2v]

I wanted to get my best friend something really special for her birthday. I saw that she is coming to Davies Symphony hall here in San Francisco to perform with our symphony, and it really was the only choice. Tickets were $250 each, and I battled with it for a couple of days but after watching numerous performances of hers on KZbin, I know it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see someone who is dedicated, has mastered and at the top of the field in her craft. I got us tickets in the lodge, first row. It was between there and orchestra row 11. I chose these seats for the view and the sound. I don’t know what we’re going to get except for a total masterpiece that we’ll remember forever. I’m so excited.
