That last “I’m tiiiiiiirrrrred of cryyyyyyinn” gave me goosebumps

[@marianaescoto1273]

Her performance was a beautiful tribute to the queen of jazz Ella Fitzgerald. What a journey Raye had this year. She deserves to be on big stages like the Apollo Theater. She is a star.

[@Daddiemoney]

She’s so GOOD! I keep replaying this

[@Hundhammer]

Same here, this incredible, on repeat...

[@JordenHood___]

Same

[@missfluffydiva2120]

She's such an amazing live vocalist...I thank God that the record company who held Raye back for so many years, finally let her go so she could show the world how brilliantly talented she is. This gave me goosebumps.

[@rashata]

This woman is just amazing. So happy she’s getting the attention she deserves. Yes, James Bond needs her!

[@deanantony8620]

What a world class vocal.

[@david9912gt3rs]

Raye and Jazz are truly a match made in heaven. Such a privilege to witness her greatness rise! ❤️

[@ГаянаДжахаева]

Now you say you're lonely You cried the long night through Well, you can cry me a river Cry me a river I cried a river over you Now you say you're sorry For being so untrue Well, you can cry me a river Cry me a river 'Cause I cried, I cried, I cried a river over you You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head While you never shed a tear Remember, I remember all that you said Told me love was too plebeian Told me you were through with me And now you say, you say you love me Well, just to prove you do Come on and cry me a river Cry me a river 'Cause I cried a river over you You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head While you never shed a tear Remember, re-remember all that you said Told me love was too plebeian Told me you were through with me and Now, now you say you love me Well, just to prove you do Come on and cry, cry, cry me a river Cry me a river 'Cause I cried a river over you If my pillow could talk, imagine what it would have said It would be a river of tears I cried in bed So you can cry me a river Daddy, go 'head and cry that river 'Cause I cried, how I cried A river over you How I cried a river over you

[@GiGiGeena19]

I'm a simple girl - I see Raye in the video and caption, I click, I listen, I like ! 🤩

[@Hundhammer]

Love your name as I've been a fan of Gigi and the GG Vibes for years before I even discovered RAYE. The rest is history... Merry Christmas, Peace and love from BavaRAYEa

[@oywiththepoodlesalready]

2:39 I swear no artist makes me lose it like Raye I was literally jumping up and down screaming after this moment THAT WAS INSANEEEE. What a time to live in MY GOD

[@AustenGroupie]

One of the best jazz songs ever and one of the most talented vocalists alive. A match made in heaven.

[@Serinity479]

I've loved this song for forever and in the last 2 months RAYE has become one of my favorite singers, so this is absolute heaven to me.

[@Hundhammer]

Same here, only it's been six months with RAYE in my life now... Merry Christmas, peace and love from Bavaria!

[@phoga6463]

she's just simply the fucking best. I love her own music but we need a classic cover album NOW!

[@Hundhammer]

I love this song, and there's some really beautiful renditions by several artists out there, and the original, but RAYE is the cherry on the cake, she's hitting it out of the park every freakin time... How does she do that?

[@TheJonaskohzhixiang]

The once-in-a-generation talent!!

[@Iaiairene]

the audience isn’t giving! this performance is astounding

[@david9912gt3rs]

They were just appreciating her greatness! As someone who went to see her live I regret not being as far as possible to only ear her voice (I was in the front row, so I mostly listened to fans screaming). I would just sit down and enjoy it too.

[@tananario23]

Calm down, ✋🏻.

[@msibi]

In classical settings you sit quietly and watch... only clapping at the end. It's just one of those things.

[@davidkariu]

Hey, hey this is not your local downtown club.

[@cptight88]

Its black tie and the president and VP are there. Gotta act right.

[@r_4ia]

[@Oliffka13]

Raye deserves all the best. I am glad that she finally gets some recognition.
