You're the 1st one to talk about the orchestration, which is simply magnificent!! This version should be put on Spotify, I love when singers can cover a classic and make it their own, while acknowledging the artist original. It's such a beautiful love song, she's emoting and drawing the audience in. She is pleading to Alfie and we hear her.....cry out to Alfie and it's simply perfection!! Love your reaction and explanation. I tear up every time I hear this.
Baby Girl, it's so good to have you back. I can tell you're still under the weather but you look beautiful. Written by the late, great Burt Bacharach, when asked what his favorite song was, he always said Alfie and I can see why. It was a jaw dropping performance & one that will not be forgotten. The vocal mastery of Ms. Erivo had me wiping up some serious thug tears and I can tell you felt the same way. Thank you for this.
🫶🏽🫶🏽 thank you Vallentina! I can totally see why this is anyone’s favorite song. It’s simply beautiful and well written. The orchestra really matched Cynthia’s style and performance! I’m so glad you enjoyed 🥰
Apparently Alfie was a movie in the '60s and this was on the soundtrack. It also happens to be one of her biggest hits. She is such a legend. She deserves this tribute. She looked like such a proud mom while watching Cynthia kill it. In the note with big bravado the lyric is " Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie". Can we also talk about that stunning gown?
I have been a fan of Dionne Warwick since 2006 when I realized that she could sang, but I haven’t heard this song Alfie in years. So after being mesmerized by Cynthia‘s version, I went to seek two performances by Dion, because I know she makes a different every time. I have to say neither of them impacted me the way that Cynthia’s did. Even though there were some people trying to put down Cynthia‘s version, I wasn’t gonna say anything until they got too harsh with it. Lol. But the fact is I like the way that Cynthia plays with dynamics in the song more and emphasizes certain words. Like you said, she gets off at the right time. Like that line about “something nonbelievers can’t believe in“, it doesn’t stand out at all to me in Dionne’s version, whereas Cynthia made sure that it does with that dynamic change, as well as the change in tempo of music. Very clever choice. Anyway, just my take.
Cynthia is always being criticized, compared, and beaten down... but she always comes back swinging with a mesmerizing interpretation. " You can hide the light under a table."
She has a beautiful voice, I keep listening to her performances over and over, especially Alfie. It relaxes you. Talking about euphonious. Just masterful when you can stand like that in front of an audience and command that kind of respect. Wow. Glad I’m not the only one hooked. ❤
Boo there was no vibrato on Alfie towards the end. Unless I misheard what you said! It was straight toned! However, I loved your reaction and you’re absolutely stunning.

Miss Warwick's look was that of pride and approval of a song she introduced, Alfie was a theme to a movie with the same namesake.

You are absolutely correct! Cynthia’s version was more of a story and created so many dynamic moments to remember

I love Cynthia’s version. I haven’t heard anyone putting down Cynthia’s version on the internet or tv
