Her tone, her intonation and feeling...just beautiful. You can tell Elton is emotional and probably transported in time in reflection of his vast career.
Heather Headley is just plain GIFTED. 👩🏽🎤🎙️🎶 BEAUTIFUL ❤️👏🏽🤗 Sir Elton John is simply BRILLIANT! ⭐🎹🎵🎙️🎻🎸🎷❤ My absolute FAVORITE PERFORMANCE!! It literally gives me GOOSEBUMPS! 🦢👊🏾🦢👊🏾
Starts subtle then EXPLODES! Another live performance - I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU! And, her recordings are not to be compared! After Aida saw her briefly perform - nothing like her!
Absolutely outstanding!!! Best song ever done at the Kennedy Center. Somebody really missed the boat by not releasing this cover as a single. Definite number 1 and Grammy.
He plucked her out of everybody on earth and gave her Aida...I knew Heather as a freshman living in Jones at Northwestern in 1993...she was a beutiful person then at 18, and now we're 46! Her depth and brilliance just increases...
Corinne Yaworski She has been on Broadway. 20 years ago, she originated Adult Nala in the Lion King Elton John created Aida for her three years later. Explains why she is singing this and last year she returned to Broadway after 15 years replacing Jennifer Hudson as Shug Avery in the Color Purple
I can’t seem to stop watching this!!! It’s such a breathtaking performance!!! There is joy and love that shines through in her performance, that it blows me away every time I listen to it!!! ☮️🖖🏽
OK, the song has finished a few minutes ago and I'm sitting here at the computer with the tears still flowing. LOVELY rendition, thank you Heather and thanks Larry Little for posting.
This has always been my favorite Elton John song. I remember the night she sang it in 2004. I must have worn out the heads on my VCR listening to her rendition. She blasted it out of the park.
I remember watching this originally when it aired when I was 16. It's still in my memory to this day that I had to look it up. I still get chill bumps and almost tears watching this.
How amazing would it be if you heard your song reinterpreted on such an emotional level as what is presented by Heather. You can tell he is incredibly touched by the performance at the 2:03 mark. How he held tears back is beyond me. He held it together throughout her performance.
Ethel boyes is the classic of the 21st Century every time I hear her sing I get goosebumps he is the most wonderful songstress that I ever heard I put her in the category somewhat by yourself but I have to slope area near have to
lord let me live a life such that i either a) get to perform for someone half as wpnderful as elton, or, to get really ambitious, b) get to be honored by someone half as great as heather headley
Love Elton John forever. This tribute is an excellent tribute of his impact on the music world. He blessedly is beautifully a witness to his craft gracefully performed. Beautiful
I had the GREATEST pleasures..in my life, to see, in person, this BRILLIANT, BEAUTIFUL, GIFTED, TALENTED artist express on stage in the role she ORIGINATED..."AIDA" and another she interpreted..."WITCH" in Sondheim's ITW.. Both so moving and still SUMMER 2023 I am staggered by her BRILLIANT GIFT.. I LOVE the LEGENDARY MONUMENTAL Talent of BERNADETTE PETERS and have seen EVERY SINGLE BODY OF WORK SHE HAS SHARED..Her WITCH WAS GROUND BREAKING...Ms, HEADLEY'S was a BEAUTIFUL expression of the role and unlike any other interpreters..LOVE YOU MS HEADLEY!
What a amazing performance. When you song that song you bought all those words alive. What a joy listening to you.. When I listen to you live in DC once, I held my breath on each note (Somewhere over the rainbow) hair was standing up on my arms.
