[@quinnaddison420]

Solea’s lower register cleared my skin and raised my credit score 300 points

Im leaving this comment so that every time someone likes it, I come back and listen to this.

[@palithepancake2873]

COME BACK

[@noahvelliott]

Have you listened 159 times yet!?

[@maziejenn]

Come on back for a 212th listen…you’re welcome 😉💕

[@olive6679]

I keep coming back as well. I like this rendition better than Eva's. Eva is still a great singer and killed as daisy in gatsby.

[@robertg9146]

302!

[@AlineMayagoitia]

i want a whole album of solea as every role in hadestown

[@quinnaddison420]

Honestly her Orpheus would be incredible

[@hazelc306]

I would pay an incredulous amount of money for this album.

[@olive6679]

Lol. I wasn't familiar with her but now I'm sad I missed her in gun and powder with Emmy. 😊

[@hazelc306]

Solea's performance is absolutely heart-wrenching and devastating and gorgeous!! It's regret and grief packed in a hard punch.

[@mitchtube3]

When I heard Eva was leaving I got very worried. Turns out I had zero reason to worry. Oh my goodness Solea is incredible.

[@celinabinkley6978]

Wow, chills the ENTIRE time. She is incredible. Her voice is just mesmerizing. How she emotes with every word and every breath holy cow.

[@CynthiaSea]

Wowwwwww, the way she breathes and feels the music is incredible. What a talent to tell the story with her whole essence

[@dunnowhattocallthisone]

I kind of love how different Solea's version is. Eva's version of "Flowers" is more Eurydice struggling to come to terms with her decision - she portrays the beauty in grief, specifically in denial and bargaining (and towards the end of the song acceptance too). Solea's version is almost grotesque, she's already very aware of her situation, she uses this borderline disgusting tone to show another side of grief that cannot be heard or seen in the original cast recording of "Flowers"; and therefor doesn't capture the same naive feeling Eva does. Instead, Solea's Eurydice is pouring every bit what is left of herself into the song, she knows she's trapped but is trying so hard to be seen and heard - as reassurance - 'I'll be okay, I'm finally free from (the) Fate(s)'. Idk, they're two sides of the same coin, and they both portray grief and loss just in very unique and seperate ways. I actually find it really beautiful how Solea was able to find her own version of Eurydice instead of trying to be Eva's personification in the character.

I love this sm

[@ChristopherMisterFur]

cool now I'm sobbing again

[@maryjaneclark1098]

That’s a great comparison!❤

[@AdamHHI]

Really lovely commentary, went back and listened to both with this in mind. Both inspired performances of a big character moment

[@yazieholmes7838]

The story telling! And not allowing her emotions to overcome the song is truly a talent!

[@jacobmccain8794]

Eva has always been my favorite female Broadway female vocalist! I had the privilege to see her in Hadestown last May and literally started shedding tears as soon as she started singing. For no reason but pure shock and awe lol! I didn’t realize Solea would do the exact same to me for totally different reasons! Solea is vocally flawless in every role I’ve heard her sing, but my gosh this performance is the best I’ve ever seen of her! This was riveting and gave me complete chills. I can’t pick who my favorite is now, Eva’s or Solea’s version😳. I need a cast recording with her and Jordan please Lord 🙏🏿

[@MrMenathaniel]

I am soooo happy that I nad the chance to see Solea in Hadestown. WHAT A TALENT! I’ve never seen and heard like this huge before. Touching my soul!

[@KyleALarkins]

This is such a powerful interpretation. Her grounded tone really suits the emotional journey of this song. I actually feel it made more of an impact on me this way than previous ones; not saying they’re bad, just that this one resonated with me more.

[@Autumnrainz69]

Her first note 😮‍💨😭 so good

[@The.leatherlungs]

It’s incredible how something so painfully perfect and brutally beautiful has the audacity to exist. She is a gift 🎉❤

[@emilycalles623]

Got to meet her outside Walter Kerr after a show! Literally the nicest soul, super genuine. She killed it in the performance I saw.

[@jennyrock881]

Oh boy …..exquisite flawless vocals and finally the emotional intensity and depth of expression appropriate to such a heart rending song of entrapment and regret ….I’m in Australia and could almost buy a ticket & board a plane and make the long trip to see and hear this live ….only stumbled across Hadestown as a pop up on Tiny Desk …for me it’s head and shoulders the best musical I’ve ever experienced and this rendition of my favourite song, Flowers, seizes all cakes and keeps them ….

[@MostArdently_Yours]

Eva and Solea are such queens. Both of them bring different depth to this song. So amazing.

[@AliciaZapata]

I think this performance changed my life❤

[@total.eclipse.of.the.sun.395]

holy CRAP. she is absolutely phenomenal!!!!

[@jakegadomski9091]

How does one sing so well and cry at the same time?

[@strawberrylime33]

More love for altos!!!!

[@Rriotgurrl_wannabe8016]

The grief, the rage, this is such a beautiful take of the song. I wish it was like this on the cast recording.

[@finleyforevermore]

Eva's live versions of Flowers are far more powerful and emotional than the album version thankfully, but I do wish more emotion went into the cast recording like Solea's version.

[@3star-pz7vv]

🎉

[@pebbles4523]

I keep coming back to this because god is so good🧎‍♀️

[@1mtry1ng_myb3zt]

Solea should play literally everyone. Not just in hadestown, in every musical.

[@kodeispresser5307]

Saw her afew months ago and she was AMAZING

[@Sinapz218]

just saw her live last week. shes incredible!

[@ajespada6958]

Wow, so beautiful! Her storytelling is everything! ❤

[@mintycoolnessisrelevance]

Wow watching this made me feel like I understand the character better😊

[@Gen-et9ls]

i am sooooooo devastated that I missed her live performance. God, this is so beautiful.

[@olive6679]

I saw this a week ago. Solea was glorious. I hope to catch her in another show.

[@nothinglikemusic3463]

Solea & Eva are my 2 favorite Eurydice’s. They’re both so phenomenal in their own interpretation of the character. Both vocal powerhouses, with beautiful acting choices.

[@M.M.424]

Her range is blowing my mind. Find her at the Hollywood Bowl with Karen Olivo.

[@quinnaddison420]

It’s wild to me this is the same person. Her soprano is so strong too.

[@RaijeneMurchison]

This is OUTSTANDING!!!

[@jessicalarios717]

Hauntingly beautiful :O

Please like this comment so I can come back and rewatch this masterpiece everytime

[@thatjoeyantonio]

What I wanted was to fall asleep Close my eyes and disappear Like a petal on a stream, a feather on the air Lily white and poppy red I trembled when he laid me out "You won't feel a thing," he said, "when you go down" Nothing gonna wake you now Dreams are sweet, until they're not Men are kind, until they aren't Flowers bloom, until they rot, and fall apart Is anybody listening? I open my mouth and nothing comes out Nothing, nothing gonna wake me now Flowers, I remember fields of flowers Soft beneath my heels Walking in the sun, I remember someone Someone by my side, turned his face to mine And then I turned away, into the shade You, the one I left behind If you ever walk this way Come and find me lying in the bed I made

[@sabrinalim3333]

wow.

Just saw her in A.R.T.'s Gatsby as Myrtle and wow she stole the show

[@carshenaculmer5566]

WOWWWW...sheesh

[@LauraAshley567]

QUEEEENNNNN

[@crazygamer_1082]

Ok so what I am gathering from Fisher and Solea’s Hadestown is tortured couple who probably shouldn’t get together end up in love and it leads to Eurydice being stuck in Hades. Got chu

[@minimalgameplay]

excuse me WHAT

[@carlosquental1226]

woah lady, no need to go this hard

[@barrettloucks3049]

Why’s she crying?

[@zin750]

She found out she sold her soul to hades and she’s no longer alive in the real world

[@barrettloucks3049]

Let me guess, Solea is dead because she’s a disgusting POOP EATER 🤢💩

[@al30sal7]

@@barrettloucks3049 What do you mean?

[@ericarizaazules]

Too strong of a voice for the part imo.

[@brandonb.5304]

I really enjoy her wounded rage because it sounds phenominal, but I kind of agree that the character is supposed to be kind of naive about the world and about love, a sweet innocence that's taken advantage of later on. This song is pretty early in the show and her tone already indicates she knows everything about the what's wrong with the world.

[@amdyblade2245]

Believe it or not, Eva portrayed this song more like this than she did for the cast recording as she was wrapping up her run as Eurydice

[@ericarizaazules]

Yeah there is much more emotion but I feel like the Christina Aguilera voice is way too strong.

[@ericarizaazules]

Yeah I’m used to the recording but the touring cast I saw live with the under study was done perfectly with a softer voice.

[@TheRatchetFairy_]

I don’t know if they changed anything about the play when changing the cast. But I think this was kinda perfect. Idk why people keep saying Eurydice is supposed to be naïve when she was a runaway? And already knew about the ways of the world. Orpheus was the dreamer and that’s what attracted her to him. She wanted to believe in his dream too

[@silvernekostar]

WOW
