Cynthia Erivo Sings "Edelweiss" at the AFI Tribute to Julie Andrews

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Omg this is absolutely brilliant! What a lovely tribute. Nothing but the best 👏🏽

[@rallugtu]

I’m in awe of Cynthia Erivo’s angelic voice. It made the Dame teary eyed too.🥲👏🏻✨

[@spiderliliez]

Everytime I hear "Edelweiss" it's automatic, tears just flow so freely. This song means so much to me.

[@w5pda]

That's because you've mastered the art of listening with your heart.

[@stephaniehamilton1630]

Cynthia did an excellent job singing this song. Beautiful.

Julie Andrews' singing voice is adored by people of all ages around the world. I play The Sound of Music movie soundtrack to kindergarteners in a non-English speaking country and they immediately respond to it and love it.

[@brieb4317]

You’re quite lovely ❤️

[@paulneedham2762]

Cynthia Erivo has a beautiful crystalline voice.

[@craigsmith6468]

SUPERB!!!! Mrs. Erivo's voice is a lullaby. I know what I will listen to prior to sleep.

[@annetteward2970]

[@KCNwokoye]

This is beautiful by Cynthia and it just reminded me of how stunning and incandescent Julie Andrews' voice was. She's a gift to us all. God bless you Julie ❤️

[@kathleentyson6727]

I will never forget when Lady Gaga sang The Sound of Music at the academy awards a few years ago,I’ve always loved her voice,but she simply slayed that song,and when Julie Andrews walked out ,i knew she was truly a star .

[@reneezaia]

Loved that performance too by Gaga. Outstanding!

[@fionahunt8530]

So glad she sang it straight and didn't warble around the notes as seems to be the modern way.

How could they honor Clooney before her?!

Cynthia Arivo as Aretha Franklin ain't going to cut it.

[@1bornconfused922]

I can guarantee she'll be infinitely better than you

[@karentecott640]

Only for those who refuse to open their minds and hearts. She was a force!

[@audramcdonaldapologist3676]

@@karentecott640 Aretha Franklin didn’t even agree for that movie to be produced

[@karentecott640]

@@audramcdonaldapologist3676 so what? It has nothing to do with how great Erivo was. I think the fact that she was able to be a force in music and the civil rights movement in spite of the scandal about her father that her family wanted to hide, makes Aretha an even more heroic person. Erivo's performance was powerful and unapologetic.

Beautifully sung, but oh how I hate nose rings.
