Hell No - The Color Purple 

she killed this here and KILLED it in the movie.

Danielle Brooks is a once-in-a-lifetime performer. Her stage presence couldn't be stronger if she was 10 feet tall. Her rendition in the movie is gonna be a religious experience.

I truly love audience reactions. Especially after she says she'd kill Harpo if he beat her

Academy Award nominee Danielle Brooks! Congratulations! 🥳

I just always love Danielle Brooks, she uses her whole body and soul in her performances. Coming here after the movie- she needs to be in more

Congratulations to Danielle! They just announced on ABC that she will be playing Sofia to Fantasia’s Celie in the film adaptation!

Danielle would make a great Effie White

"Hell, no!" Truer words aint never been said, gurl!!

Whew she had my heart the whole movie Oscar please 🙏🏾 ✊🏾💐💜

This woman can SANG

If this and Hamilton weren’t nominated in the same year she could’ve won her performance and vocals here are amazing!

Danielle can blow like that??? She kilt that song. I love her voice. thanks for posting these videos.

Danielle str8 killed this yes lawd

If she doesn't get an Oscar for her performance in the movie, just shut the Oscar's down.

Now Ik why Ms Danielle got that Tony Nomination sis!

I would not be surprised if Danielle happened to get a role playing the Late Gospel Legend Mahalia Jackson she would do the biopic justice !

Come back here to watch this after finding out she was nominated for an oscar in a supporting role. Well deserved 🎉

OMG! This is Danielle Brooks! Tasty from OITNW! Just realised it now, way too late...Give this woman at least 3 leading roles in 3 quality movies. She will probably slay the HELL (pun intended) out of all of them. Sister, you rock! Big kiss from a white dutch gay boy from Amsterdam :-) -X-

I saw this musical live at The Armory in Portland. One of the best theater experiences I’ve had.

My favorite part in the movie it was the hand language that took me over HELL noooo

tasty can sing

Most didn’t know that this song was in the stage play. I so wish my people did their research.

I’ve loved Danielle since Orange is the new black and the color purple just made me love her even more so.

I've read the book by Alice Walker over 15 times because it's that amazing and moving. Then Whoopie Goldberg's performance in the movie is just ecstatic. I wish my mother and I could have experienced this as well.

UGH!!! I wish I could see this live!!! Such an AMAZING musical!!!

this is simply one of the best performances I've ever seen

When I saw this man I am a man and I felt liberated hell NO!!

I can’t wait for the movie, when she’s gonna sing this reprising her character as Sofia. 👏🏾👏🏾

Came here after watching the movie. Danielle brooks is AMAZINGGGGG she can act her ass off and SING

GET IN THERE, DANIELLE!!!! SANG!!!!!

Heaven and Earth!!!!! No words for the POWER!!!!!

She is a force!

Yassss girl this how she made me feel playing Sophie in the new color purple movies yes girl ❤

She was great in oitnb and she also slays on Broadway so much talent

I wish my sisters and I could see this! My two sisters and I STILL quote parts of the movie when we see each other. And we all read the book in our teens and were so deeply moved. 💜

So good! We just watched her playing Mahalia Jackson and I knew she looked familiar.

The wish has finally come true I love it So beautiful It's very beautiful

While having the same imapctful quality, I love how different her version is from Felicia's. Feliciabwas mostly stoic and straightforward, with a cold deadass face. Danielle is louder, more bombastic, a bit sassier. But the soul for both versions is so inescapable and enjoyable. Perfect!!!

She betta blow! I love Danielle Brooks! An amazing and talented singer/actress. Love this performance! Always the best one. ❤️👏🏼 May I dare say better than the original?!

I really hate to say this but as much as Hamilton is a good show, and as good as Renee Elise Goldsberry is, Dannielle should have won the Tony cause dang does this woman know how to bring a character to life

Best award winning movie! Love the color purple

Taystee !!!!!! From Orange is the New Black you killed this song Danielle. Love your voice

WHY IS HALF OF THE CAST OFF OF BROADWAY FIRST KIMOKO GLENN NOW DANIELLE

I'm so proud of Danielle

Here I am. No pants. Eating carbs at 11:30pm. Crying over this damn performance.

I love the Original better. But this cast did amazing things !! I'm extremely proud of them. And DaniB is a POWERHOUSE

This is the best part of the entire show

YES THIS ALL I WAS WAITING ON!!!

I love me some Danielle Brooks aka Tasty from OITNB. I really identified with her character not being wanted by her mother.

Chills love it

Wow my favorite actor from Orange is the new black ❤️❤️❤️

Danielle brings it each time

saw this live in my home city and it was amazing.

AMAZING

Wow, she’s killing it

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!!!

She's remarkable!!

she could've played evillene in the wiz live!!!!!

She gone kill that role of mahalia Jackson

Wait a minute...I didn't know Danielle had pipes like that.

She's A BAD MAMMA JAMMA BOY! Gawt Damn!

I like her to sing hell no on the color purple 3:50 3:50

I saw it on Margaret Avery's Instagram, her and Danny Glover went to one of the plays. But I think it was the one where Jennifer Hudson played Shut Avery.

i like this

Danielle would've won a Tony if Hamilton had come out a year later or a year earlier.

She is such a badass!!! 😃

This may be a controversial opinion, but while Renee Elise Goldsberry was outstanding in Hamilton, I would have given the Tony to Brooks for THIS!!

I actually thought she was jennifer holiday

okay, so. LOVE LOVE LOVE cynthia. but it just her delivery on her spoken parts, i just can't get behind it. it's all so dry, dead and monotone. but her singing parts are FILLED with emotion and personality

Where can i find the full recording? Someone please 💜

I like her in Mahalia Jackson,all this darn singer i would not go see this mess
