Cynthia Erivo joins EW to share seven incredible vocal performances that continue to blow her mind. The multi-award-winning artist dives into the brilliance behind each performance, from Whitney Houston’s husky-yet-airy jazz medley of “I Loves You, Porgy” to the outrageous vocal gymnastics of Sisqó’s “Thong Song.” Aretha Franklin’s performance of “Dr. Feel Good” gets Cynthia out of her chair, making faces and shouting “COME ON!” in disbelief. And when it comes to Beyoncé’s stripped-down delivery in “Resentment,” Cynthia is in awe. She compares Beyoncé’s voice to a fine wine—sweet, bassy, and brimming with emotional depth—and praises her effortless vibrato and storytelling instinct. It’s not just a list—it’s a heartfelt tribute to those who’ve set the a gold standard in the world of music. 0:00 Cynthia Erivo’s Favorite Vocal Performances 0:06 Whitney Houston “I Loves You Porgy” 1:54 Sisqó “Thong Song” 3:44 Jazmine Sullivan “Home” 5:16 Jennifer Holiday “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” 7:25 Aretha Franklin “Dr. Feel Good” 9:24 Luther Vandross “A House is Not A Home” 11:38 Beyoncé “Resentment” Subscribe to EW ►► http://bit.ly/EWSubscribe *CONNECT WITH ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY* Web: http://www.ew.com/ Facebook: http://bit.ly/Facebook_EW Instagram: http://bit.ly/Instagram_EW Snapchat: http://bit.ly/Snapchat_EW Pinterest: http://bit.ly/Pinterest_EW *ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY* is your pass to Hollywood’s most creative minds and most fascinating stars.
