What About Love - Jennifer Hudson and Cynthia EriVo

I DID NOT RECORD THIS !!! All rights belong to the producers of The Color Purple.

[@Chezmeralda]

Me: I can't believe Cynthia Erivo got to kiss Jennifer Hudson Also me: I can't believe Jennifer Hudson got to kiss Cynthia Erivo

[@malissaboone6065]

Exact mood!

[@sarahb-rh9dd]

yep wayyy better than heather

[@e-linamarie]

this made me so, so happy. i was reading the book and celie realizing her sexuality due to shug is absolutely beautiful. shug first appears rude and cold, but this softness for celie is one of my favorite parts of this story.

[@theprince_jay]

Crazy how now the both of them are playing Aretha!! Jennifer is playing her on the big screen and Cynthia is playing her on tv

[@jeremychaisson549]

Fact they are both great

[@malissaboone6065]

Ikr!!! It's kind of cool how that happened

[@sarahb-rh9dd]

Maybe that just proves they're twin love flames THEY'RE MEANT TO BE🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿😍😍😍😍😍. But too bad society won't let them cause of their ignorance labeled them "beefing"🙄🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️😀

[@bb-px7rf]

the collective oohs and little giggles at their kiss haha i love the audience’s reaction

[@radlee974]

I was blessed enough to see this run of The Color Purple back when it was on Broadway and it was truly a once in a lifetime experience for me! (I even got to see it while J Hud was still playing Shug. Though I wouldn’t have complained too much had I missed her because I also LOVE Ms. Heather Headley _and_ from the little bits that I’ve seen of her in the role, in a shock to absolutely NO ONE, she absolutely BODIED it!! lol.) Anyway, this isn’t normally the kind of song that I’d really be all that into. At least not on paper. While a love song/ballad can most _certainly_ be an incredible moment, they just don’t tend to be something I get all excited about. Having said that… *BIIIIIIITCH!!!!* This song is absolutely EVERYTHING!! I can distinctly remember sitting in that theatre, I had already been fully captured by what was taking place before me and was vibing well enough with the beginning of “What About Love”, yet I had no idea what I was about to experience! (Which was pretty damn silly of me considering all of the amazingness I had witnessed up until this point.) The moment Cynthia and Jennifer launched into those GORGEOUS harmonies on the very first, “What about TEARS…” I had instant goosebumps all over my body. And they did NOT go away until the song was completely over! It was incredible!! I’ve seen a handful of Broadway shows (Boy do I wish that I lived closer to NYC!) and hundreds of touring, local, college, high school, and just about every other form of production you can think of’s shows and the 2015 revival of The Color Purple is by far and way the most phenomenal piece of theatre I have *EVER* seen. If I could only use one word to describe it, that word would be “magic”. Not “magical”, straight up “MAGIC” as that is what it truly was. No other show/production has ever made me feel the things that The Color Purple did. Nor has a show/production made me feel things as intensely either! Seeing this show will forever be one of my fondest memories! (It also introduced me to one of the world’s most talented performers, Cynthia Erivo. So that night was a HUGE win for me! lol. Anyway… yeah… I just LOVE this song/performance! (Daaaamn, I sure found a way to drag that sentiment out!! lol. I blame my “computer doobie”, aka weed pen, for that!! lol.)

[@n25bast]

The way Cynthia shouts "She's alive!" makes my allergies act up

[@laugh_til_ithurts]

I’m still upset I didn’t get to see this live 😞 seeing Hamilton finally making it to Disney+ I’m hoping one day they will put out this version of The Color Purple 🔥

[@bentang4493]

was super lucky to get a second row seat. and share your wish of them getting this cast together for a filmed version. its life changing.

[@tricoblue6897]

@@bentang4493 They are in fact making a film version of the musical! Some casting decisions have already been made such as the singer H.E.R. playing the role of Squeak. It's set to hit theaters in December of 2023!!

[@bentang4493]

[@sarahb-rh9dd]

They definitely need to release all Broadway footage from 2004 to now cause that movie was a bust there was no real love interactions taraji killt the whole vibe with her whole lil dumb fake money rant stunt I'm so upset we need a redo we need the footage ASAP

[@sarahb-rh9dd]

that hug was pure real deep love. and ppl have the nerve to say they had beef or heather was better I KNOW Y'ALL LYING

[@mee5780]

One of the greatest privileges of my life was travelling to nyc to see these two in this show. I will never forget it..every time I have a sad thought..I just come on KZbin and watch clips of the show and say..I saw this..live 🙌 and I just cry with happy tears.

[@DebUno]

Beautiful Indeed. Blessings Dear One ❤

[@jeremychaisson549]

Both these queens can sing omg they need to do an album 💿 together

[@sarahb6163]

Well that's never gonna happen and they haven't been seen together since cause once 2 black women play lovers/girlfriend's/wives their never seen together ever again Jenn and Vanessa (lword) & Angela and tasia For example. Me personally I think it's because they fell in love

These lyrics this story these scenes are way better than any toxic black hetero film or tv show on the whole Internet💯 it's so sad that black folk cater to that type of behavior but leave us in the wind and condemn us THIS IS REAL LOVE RIGHT HERE and it deserves to be celebrated and recognized. I'm finna save this in my notes d#m this was good😂

[@remyfacade]

Umm the audience reaction to the kiss... Have they never seen any rendition of the color purple

[@Churchgirl84]

That means they didnt read the book!

[@tobiasbrown2951]

They probably did both, they just reacted, to realisticness between the two

Jae Mery or any two women kiss 🙄

[@sharoneniye2550]

It’s just a reaction cause it’s hot I guess. Doesn’t mean they haven’t seen any rendition 🙄

[@anhonestlife380]

I like jhud but Cynthia. Its how she submits, the supports jhud. Selfless and talented.

[@iago07]

Jennifer is a masterful singer but she is not a good actress. As a masterful actor you have to find the truth in the voice AND the body… her body is stiff on stage. Her singing has the emotion but she isn’t trained enough to access the truth in her body or her speaking voice. That’s why she was overlooked by the Tonys. Because Shug is easily an awards-bait role… and she did not deliver at the highest quality of a Bway actress.
