"Easy as Life" Aida, Heather Headley

[@PapaLobo94]

If you think it’s time for Aida to finally come to the big screen and get the recognition it seriously deserves, gimme a “Hell Yeah!”

[@thisisisme2861]

Hell Yeah!

[@theoperatripleaxel5417]

the opera has seeeeveral muoies.

[@PapaLobo94]

The Opera Triple Axel I’m talking about the musical, dude

[@kentaviushunter1250]

Hell Yeah

[@ryanchunkitkoh2503]

hell yeah!

[@namitaa]

God, she is BEAUTIFUL

[@fadingnebulous]

One thing you can say about Rosie O’Donnell: She had a knack for predicting who would win the Tony Award virtually every year this show ran.

[@christaphergibson7546]

Her version will always be the best. So strong. So majestic. ❤️

[@JaeChristineOfficial]

That BREATH control and Power!!!

[@michaelbrindisi8263]

How is it that she is not a mega superstar? She is perfection

[@FWFrank]

She first achieved that w her STUNNING music videos

[@tjshelton5632]

Her facial expressions are everything!!

[@FlimFlamFloom]

This is star power and technique. So many young Broadway folks today couldn't hit the back wall without that mic, but Heather.... NO MA'AM. She brings the power, the placement and the acting.

[@claudesterstephens9952]

I didn't see the Broadway Aida. I hope Disney will one day produce Aida as a movie with the original cast.

[@richardedmund2081]

The amazing Heather Headley, she owns everything she touches....beautiful soul....awesome talent and voice!

[@SoraXDancingXStar]

My favourite Disney Princess, hahah

[@Cryboutdat]

That was an amazing performance. I saw her perform for the first time in 2001 when i graduated from high school n it was amazing. Ive tried pursuing singing on Broadway ever since..ive come close but im not giving up. I know i have wat it takes.

[@FWFrank]

Years before her Tony winning theatrical performance, Heather BLEW ME AWAY w her music videos. When it comes to her beauty and charming talent she has it all!

[@clausifam]

She IS incredible!

[@syworld82]

I WAS GETTING MY LIFE ON THIS MUSICAL as a teenager...... I cannot believe its been 15 years since this opened...

[@DontDoSadness91]

and she won! ugh that note!

[@WakandaBabe]

Don't like Rosie O'Donnell but one thing I did like about her show...she showcased Broadway plays, musicals like no one else.

[@MrEricrockinout]

I was thinking the same thing.... (Going back to Sutton in Thoroughly Modern Milly)

[@iago07]

Add she gave a platform to so many up and coming artists including Billy Porter!

[@lisagillette-martin2247]

Agree 100%. She featured many, including Spring Awakening in 2007, when she predicted Jonathan Groff was going to be a big star. Two Tony nominations, voiced Kristoff in the Frozen films, becoming known as a triple threat a la Hugh J. and NPH... yep, she knows how to call ‘em!!

[@s.j.johnson1961]

Because she was a very frustrated Broadway musical performer. I think she did get a chance to perform in Grease, though. Maybe if she’d been able to do more shows she would’ve been less angry and bitter.

[@Marieq]

She is just amazing! My favorite Broadway actress/singer!

[@ytzelpena7019]

She is perfection ❤

[@evertthakoersingh9033]

her voice makes me cry

[@victoriaiverson5371]

Aida…. Beautiful! A once in a lifetime voice!!!♥️🙏🏾

[@s4slade]

I saw her live back then and that was my introduction to her and has been PURE AWESOME since.

[@joellaycock6582]

This show previewed in Chicago where I was lucky enough to see it. She was AMAZING!

[@christaphergibson7546]

This is my absolute favorite musical and absolute favorite song from any musical.

[@islaedmonson-brown4230]

I personally know how great Heather Headley is after seeing her in AIda twice. One of my favorite play next to Sunset Boulevard.

[@fadingnebulous]

Rosie is so good at predicting the best actress Tony winners!

[@lilygonzalez9951]

lLove heather what a voice so much emotion.

[@livsmakeupchannel4944]

We’re doing a this musical at our school this year and I love this song so so much

[@LydiaLyon]

[@askrhonnie6356]

Thank you for posting this!

[@pip1278]

Her little nod at 1:01 when she said "it's easy". I don't know if she is talking about the song or the situation but both are not easy

[@ayrajudelleesteban5700]

I love your comment! Haha

[@dawnvickerstaff9148]

Where have I been? She is fantastic!

[@beemocha]

amazing!!! & isnt this the same Heather Headley that sings that song "I wish I wasn't in love with you" ?

[@ChaoticallyChristian]

Yes

[@matthewsuh200]

Heather Headley have to honor the Disney Legend award and handprints for Nala from The Lion King on Broadway and title role on Broadway from Aida.

[@annemaresky8546]

She has got talent

[@joejoe5673]

Amazing! I love this version and the Deborah Cox version as well.

[@jacksonb347]

OMG THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL

[@SuperwomaanAmi]

beautiful😍

[@krachel3813]

EASY AS LIFE - Aida This is the moment when the gods expect me To beg for help but I won't even try I want nothing in the world but myself to protect me But I won't lie down, roll over and die All I have to do is to forget how much I love him All I have to do is put my longing to one side Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died It's easy, it's easy All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start It's easy, it's easy Until I think about him as he was when I last touched him And how he would have been were I to be with him today Those very rare occasions, don't let up, they keep on coming All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away It's easy, it's easy as life And then I see the faces of a worn defeated people A father and a nation who won't let a coward run Is this how the gods reward the faithful through the ages? Forcing us to prove that all the hardest things we've done Are easy, so easy And though I'll think about him until the earth draws in around me And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love This is no denial, no betrayal, but redemption Redeemed in my own eyes and in the pantheon above It's easy, it's easy as life It's easy as life It's easy as life

[@latishaturner2439]

Amazing

[@AsifKhan-ju4ld]

[@joannclune6423]

[@iago07]

Heather is perfect... but WTF is Rosie wearing?! 😂😂😂

[@gabycontreras6224]

[@벌레-g5z]

지금 이 순간 신들은 원하겠지 나약한 내 모습을 하지만 난 아냐 내 자신은 내 스스로 지키겠어 쓰러져 죽어도 포기하지 않아 ​ 이 모든 것을 쉽게 끝내는 그 길은 그이를 향한 내 사랑 포기하는 것 이 모든 것을 쉽게 끝내는 그 길은 사랑과 열정 없다고 믿는 것뿐야 쉬운 일 쉬운 일 ​ 이 모든 것을 쉽게 끝내는 그 길은 그를 만난 적 없다고 내 자신 속이는 거야 이 모든 것들을 쉽게 끝내는 그 길은 불타는 사랑 그냥 꺼버리면 돼 쉬운 일 쉬운 일 ​ 허나 그이의 손길 이렇게 생생한데 그 따스한 숨결 지금도 느껴지는데 왜 함께한 순간들이 끝없이 밀려오는 걸까 내가 원하는 모든 것을 이젠 버리고 있어 인생처럼 쉬운 일이야 ​ 허나 지치고 절망한 백성들의 얼굴 보여 내 나라와 내 민족도 겁쟁일 원하지 않아 모든 신들이 왜 내게 강요하는 걸까 모든 일들이 너무나 쉬운 거라고 쉬운 일이라고 ​ 내 죽는 그날까지 그를 생각하겠지만 지금 선택해야 할 건 내 나라 내 민족뿐 저 신들 앞에서도 내가 당당할 수 있는 저 하늘로부터 구원되는 방법이야 ​ 인생처럼 쉬운 일이야 인생처럼 쉬운 일 쉬운 일이야

[@moomoolaka]

Amazing voice ... but what's with Broadway singers and actors over pronouncing words it's so irritating... no one outside of Broadway sings like this at all lol

[@jslost]

One reason is if the words aren’t understood the audience can’t follow the story.

[@lucialima8324]

incredible! Bravo!!
