Sara Bareilles mini-concert at Salesforce Virtual Event (3/24/2021)

[@brooke510]

I'm a middle-aged man, married, with children and a professional services consulting business. But I'd legit be screaming the whole time if I could be at a private concert by Sara Bareilles, who I was very late to discover (not being in the target demo). I'm almost yelling at my monitor that they're all just politely clapping after each song. I could just watch live clips of her on KZbin all day - her voice is transcendent. I grew up on Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez, so it's no surprise that I gravitated to Indigo Girls, Natalie Merchant, Sarah McLachlan, etc., later in life. But her voice...those long notes she hits at 9:07, for example, just light me up. Her mournful singing is like a religious experience. She Used to Be Mine, Gravity, her cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road...just play it on a loop for me.

3 of my favorites. Check out her live KZbin's of Coldplay's Yellow!

[@FIBONICITY]

A true professional.

[@smallbluechicken6818]

I'm in the same boat as you. Middle aged and finding Sara just recently. Just by chance I watched a KZbin Graham Norton show from a few years ago where Sara was the musical guest at the very end of the show. I like to catch these performances because, hey, sometimes it's an artist new to me that may be pretty good. Sara Bareilles? Umm, sure, ok. And she sang Used To Be Mine. Saying I was stunned by that performance is a gross understatement. I can't remember any artist performing such a beautiful song with such soulfully clear notes and amazing lyrics. I had to rewind to pick up her name again, and the name of the musical....and the rest is history. Right after that I found the album Amidst The Chaos. God, she is just such a talent, such a gift!!

[@derekg5563]

@Dan G.: "I'm almost yelling at my monitor that they're all just politely clapping after each song." So I take it that it's not enough that other people would need to be ok with you reacting loudly (even if some people would be annoyed by a loud reaction), but in addition to that, you also need everyone to be like you when it comes to reacting. Just mind your own business for one second, and let people react how they will, just like how you would want people to mind their own business with how you want to react. These people are just doing what they want but instead you have to barge in and make them do what you want them to do, not what they want to do. Just be happy that they are doing what they want to do, they are being free, free from everyone, including you. Just appreciate that. They are not expressing their emotions with you in mind, they are just doing what they want and feeling how they feel. Let them be. Again, it would be chaos if everyone were trying to make people act like them, like what you are doing -- maybe it's harder to notice that chaos when we see only one person doing it, but one person does not deserve to be granted to be the only one who gets to criticize the emotions of others -- it's better if people just understand each other's differences. I take it you are saying this because you like Sara, but liking Sara isn't something special, and doesn't give you license as to directing how other people need to express their emotions, just like them liking Sara wouldn't give them license to make some argument like "don't be too loud and obnoxious in your reactions, show some respect to Sara" towards you. It's just annoying when people nitpick and find a problem with someone reacting in a way that they personally wouldn't. It's like, you want people to be free and who they are, don't you? They are not doing being who they are for you, and in fact you should let them be who they are for them. And maybe don't create more needless conflict by you failing to do that. And this would help you too, because if you are almost yelling at a monitor, it might be healthier for you to stop having that urge, and then you can avoid projecting your anger onto innocent people who just want to be who they are. Maybe you are joking or exaggerating, but just making light of something for a moment doesn't address or get rid of it, in fact oftentimes that is an attempt to distract from really addressing something that should be addressed by trying to make the underlying issue look like something silly that only exists for comedic value, even though there is more to it that is swept under the rug through just laughing it off.

I love you! I’m a woman but your words resonated with me…so much. She’s incredible in concert and her musical Waitress was fantastic. She puts her whole heart and soul in everything she does. Btw she’s in a new Tina Fey series, Girls5eva. It’s so funny and so good. It’s on Peacock. Enjoy!!!

[@TheOlandex]

I would very happily stand out in the rain to see Sara perform. She is an unbelievable talent and everyone who has seen her perform is a fortunate person indeed.

[@EleniTsiridi]

Can't describe how grateful I am that God blessed us with such a gentle, hilarious, talented lady that is Sara Bareilles

[@mayluyun]

This is how you know what makes a great artist and a true musician! Sara playing in the rain and being sooo professional! that amount of water is bad for the piano and it's hard to perform with those wet keys. yet she didn't complain and gave her best performance!

[@cakircimike]

Elle est extraordinaire cette femme

[@tanyalawson6261]

This girl, the one she used to be, the one she is now, is a true and beautiful artist. Absolutely incredible talent...rain or shine.

[@musicalfreakgrl2]

"Please sing a song. Any song." LOL I missed her.

[@kevinsodyelias9740]

* WOW! AMAZING! LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@bathedinshadow]

I'd sit in a blizzard for a private show like this.

[@muzikhed]

That is the first time I've seen a pianist cheerfully playing and singing beautifully while it is raining while drying the water off the keyboard and the body of the piano with towels. Chapeau !

[@RetrievingSearain]

possibly the greatest ever rendition of Love song.

[@juanmanuelaguirre7033]

I missed her singing liveee And who knew we needed sara singing she used to be in in the rain?!?!?

[@collinsfreitas]

Incredible how the rain has made all sense.

[@hvnlyqi6524]

This woman is true perfection !!!

[@nelsons3718]

talent knows no weather

[@eduardgevorgyan3315]

Без всякого сомнения ,Сара заслуживает намного большей популярности,чем в настоящее время она имеет ! Прекрасная ,самобытная певица,одаренный и неординарный композитор,талантливый музыкант,легко и непринужденно танцующая ,располагающая внешность , доброжелательная ,жизнерадостная женственная ...Ее достоинства можно перечислять до бесконечности ! Желаю ей добиться в жизни должного признания и покорить самые немыслимые творческие высоты !!!

[@mama2kittyfubb]

What a beautiful person. Can't wait to see her live again!!

[@cpr1200r]

FnA!

[@n.v.theking7239]

how dare you speak to our queen in such a manner!!!!!! Sara is the fucking best

[@juancpgo]

That voice is something else! Such a talent and such a pro.

[@smallbluechicken6818]

I've heard Sara perform Used To Be Mine a number times and it's always spectacular, soulful, emotional, and purely wonderful. This performance, with the sound of the rain falling in the background....almost too much. If you've got a human soul, be ready before you listen to this; it strikes an amazing chord

[@ccwoodlands1565]

Beautiful voice. So approachable. Grounded. Passionate. Uniquely talented.

[@dahee0206]

Missed you, Sara. Your song always cheers me up and heals me softly.

[@CanadianClub]

I saw her perform live on the Salesforce Success Anywhere World Tour that was held in rainy Washington DC on March 24. I watched from home and painstakingly recorded the 15 minute concert aiming my smartphone at my computer screen. Thanks for posting this professional capture Salesforce! What an incredible performance under the most challenging of weather conditions. I am a new Salesforce customer and have joined the Salesforce Family. What a great event which culminated in an outstanding performance by Sara Bareilles.

[@rmhuck8370]

Such an amazing singer.

[@mikeb1039]

She is just ****ing AMAZING and I love her!!!!!

[@heteronimous1]

No rain can stop her beautiful voice and incredible talent!

[@Andreluiz-dp2ho]

She was on fire!!

[@c5d53g2e]

I am in love with her

[@brentwalker3300]

First verse of the song: "Head under water, and you tell me to breathe easy...." while she's singing while it's raining. Hilarious. Sara is the best. I'm so happy that she has recovered from covid.

[@nadirkhan13]

Her performance always raise me up

[@eunjilee8937]

[@davidjmartinez4]

[@collinsfreitas]

Sara, you do have a big fan from Brazil. Thanks Salesforce to bring us this great artist.

[@davefrusdrummer]

Essa mulher é incrível meu irmão. Amo a voz e a personalidade dela. Uma princesa mesmo

[@milenamsimoes]

que sonho um show dela aqui no Brasil :(((

[@c5d53g2e]

Say what you want to say and let the words fall out. None of you know me and I don't know you. I don't know your situation. But I love you. Why? Because we are commanded to love one another. And Sara's music reminds us that.

[@billleonard5674]

I've missed this. Hope to see more live opportunities now that we are all coming back

[@nahilsolange1015]

Sara... I'm SO happy that I've known your talent for so long, since 2008. In spite of being from Argentina I came across your music so long ago and it has stuck with me ever since. You're such a unique artist. Both your exitence and your music make me happier. THANK YOU.

[@sandiyoung845]

Love her! Awesome song and voice,❤️❤️

[@lucimessenger1337]

Wow what an amazing opportunity for the audience

[@いがらしなおみ-o7s]

Great performance and great humanity. Even if it's raining, you can afford to enjoy it. I like Sara Bareilles even more than I do now. I wonder if she will come to Japan ...I'm making animation in Japan, but my dream is to collaborate with her.

[@kalm2442]

DAAAAMN i love you ♥

[@georgejoseph1430]

[@richardwhite2344]

[@theresagreat1618]

What a great artist preforming for health and safety in the pouring rain blessing to you all.

[@annalyzethis87]

She's *magical*

[@Rae8Anne]

Sara sounds great! Even though not being able to perform this past year obviously sucked for these artists, the vocal rest was welcomed, I'm sure.

[@madlove2339]

impressive performance under the rain. true singer.

[@ivanparedesp]

She's amazing!!!

[@wellscattleco.8624]

What a pro! Rain and all.

[@AB-ir8fs]

[@chaucero8556]

Saraaaaaaa!

[@raymondsaunders3526]

I love her voice!! What a powerful singer, songwriter and entertainer!! A beautiful soul indeed!!

[@wtbarber]

I love that she sings this song after that introduction :).

[@champnessjack1154]

Absolutely fabulous. Warm, professional, kind, and stellar piano, vocal and performance skills. Not to mention songwriting. It's a pity only the guy from Marketing and that lady from Sales showed up, but at least the hotel staff got to experience it, and 43k viewers of this video probably all wish we could have been there.

[@carlitorosalesjr.3118]

Yep baby 14:50 is fine coz it’s wet! Awesome as always ❤️❤️❤️

[@willpea1445]

Great performance in very challenging conditions - what a cracking singer, performer & professional!. Thanks

[@shygorilla8082]

One of my favorite musicians. Keep up the good work

[@tedsamuels3203]

Sara, you are awesome and I love your voice and sense of humor....Your like an X lovers ❤ neutral ground ❤ where they both can go smile and say IF ..i..wasn't so stupid you would know it was my fault and IF ..u..wasn't so dumb you would know its my fault ? Lol 😆 Waking up to find our lost sense of humor 😀

[@MisSzigili]

thank you for sharing this! I tried to log in but the stream did not work! I'm so glad I can watch it now! :)

[@TravisLawrence12]

I met Sara in 2007. Some of my new friends in SF had grown up with her and they asked if I "wanted to go see their friend Sara play?". She was just starting the Little Voice launch tour and we talked briefly after her set. I had no idea who I was talking to...

[@BunTim]

Cutest Sara!! Amazingly light and fluffy tones! You sing all darkness away. It is a musical anti-depressive. For a 100% I love you and your idea and your nature! Congratulations!! Keep on flying and humming. < Many hugs and kisses>

[@marioalejandro7549]

She's amazing 😍🤩

[@dedyfebrianto7621]

[@littlemonster43ver]

she should've sung saint honesty, under the rain would've been amazing

[@sarthak1314]

Haven't seen a better performer.

[@GraciesMom]

Check out Girls5eva on Peacock!!! Our wonderful Sara is in it with Renee Goldsbury, Paula Pell and Busy Phillips. It’s music, it’s silly, it’s clever it’s fun. It got a 100% on Rotten Tomato’s. Tina Fey is the EP.

[@swale12]

Sarah we love up

[@HeatherB81]

I love her so much. What a cool chick. I wish I was there, because I would have been giving her the praise and cheers that she needed… crowd seemed a little subdued 🤣

[@bmaxx1499]

I guess lots of people ask for that. When the time is right, I will ask too.

[@johnreavey7207]

❤

[@diogoferreira200]

Come to Brazilian, Sara! 😍

[@1ginabina]

I bet the humidity intensified the sou d!!!

[@westcoastkidd17]

She's amazing and Salesforce is an amazing company!

[@rgc1600]

Shame on Salesforce for forcing the great Sara Bareilles to sing in such a situation. She does a wonderful performance in spite of the terrible conditions this company forced her into. Hope she was well paid.

[@somebodyelse6673]

That piano drowned for a worthy performance.

[@mateeah]

wouldn't the piano get damaged???

[@brentwalker3300]

Yeah, unbelievable. Whoever owns that piano is going to be pissed.

[@KarenBella]

Thanks for sharing! If you have a minute, I recorded a cover of Meredith Brooks. As a fellow music lover, I'd love if you would check it out. It's on my page. Hope you enjoy. Don't go too tough on me :)

[@redtops5160]

Amazed that no one thought to have a suitable tarp ready. I mean the rain is getting on her and the piano. A dude with an umbrella sitting next to her at least could have kept her dry.......smh.

[@1ginabina]

And why are you getting rained on under the umbrella?

[@VickyAbagon96]

Three people clearly cannot appreciate music in the rain.

[@robertk2007]

Wonder how much they had to pay her?

[@Hilarious1972]

Could have splurged for a couple more umbrellas. Just saying.

[@AlanTauber-DrumConnection]

I think we can all agree on that :)

[@lcastellanos8715]

Beautiful 💦💦💦❤️

[@soniarivas9221]

Crowd is so boring common Salesforce!
