Holy crap! The R&B pop sound of music gave me chills. I went back and listened to it a second time. Cynthia needs to do it as a full song and release it!

[@aliciaburnsrn4951]

She made the sound of music into a baby making hit!!!!

[@tomascentsgordone4561]

I agree and listened to it like 10x atleast thinking this would be a hit single for sure.

[@markiafurtado-rahill]

Something that makes Cynthia so different from other singers is that shes extremely versatile, she can sing any and EVERY genre of music....EFFORTLESSLY. She is unlike any singer of our time. We are so lucky to experience her gifts and have her share it with us.

[@jaydel3]

to be honest she didn’t really sound country.. Also she has never sung rock. I think someone who is truly versatile in the modern age is Kelly Clarkson. She authentically sings all genres. Not just sing a song from a genre.

[@wella_watson]

Lady Gaga quietly existing.

[@ridge7524]

Yes💯💐🥂

[@lamarrwestbrooks2867]

Yesssss singing and acting...she's gifted and talented literally❤

[@iluvnadi2]

​@@jaydel3 I really love Kelly, but one of the genres that's not right for her voice is Broadway. I haven't heard her sing opera, and I i don't recall her ever doing it. But other than that, Kelly is incredible and very versatile. ❤️ 🎶

[@lenwelch2195]

I didn’t know who she was before wicked and I have no idea why I didn’t. I just love her, she’s a superstar.!!!! I love how humble she is, kind, thoughtful, and spectacularly beautiful. She’s an original yet she’s a kind without that hard edge to prove any thing. One of the most talented performers ever. She’ll be remembered as a legend. I hope she has a wonderful time in life. I’ll be there admiring her.

[@julietparry6688]

She played Celie in the Color Purple on Broadway. Played Harriet in the newest movie.

It is so sad to know there are people out there in this world that do not know who this woman is! It breaks my heart! But glad she is reaching untouched territory!❤

[@ashleytaveras9035]

Cynthia singing "And I am tell you I'm not going" in Opera genre was the perfect song for her to sing. She delivered that performance! 🙌🏻👏🏻✨

She's been nominated for TWO Academy awards - Best Actress for Harriet, and best song that she wrote and sang in the same film. She won the Tony and Grammy for The Color Purple. She played Aretha Franklin in the anthology series: Genius. Cynthia is the queen of the Kennedy Centre Honors, Concerts and KZbin. Her voice is among the finest and most beautiful in the world. She performs outstanding concerts around the world from the Hollywood Bowl to Royal Albert Hall to Carnegie Hall. She is a prestige talk show guest/performer on Colbert and Fallon. For years.

Seeing "Wicked" on Sunday, 11/24......I live in Italy and found a cinema just 40 minutes away where it is going to be screened in English with Italian subtitles and I am so, so psyched. Saw it 21 years ago, in NY, with the OBC, and now will see it bigger, in more color and with a cast I admire, already, and know, already. I just hope they stuck to the story as much as possible.
