That ending was maybe the vest thing I've ever heard. The orchestra building up, the chorus surrounding the stage coming in, and Cynthia sliding into those high notes was such a huge pay off. This is intention and rehearsal, but what you can not rehearse, is the crowd going absolutely wild once she nails that battle cry. It's like you hear a collective "WOOOOOOOW," from the audience! The audience was that final piece that you can include in rehearsal. These Hollywood crowds are not know for being enthusiastic at all. They usually just give limp wrist claps. Every one of them were on their feet. Absolutely flawless 👏🏾

I’m sorry, I love Mikey Madison and Demi Moore. They both are incredible actresses, but when I think of an Oscar performance, NO ONE beat Cynthia. NO ONE! But every year, the academy locks into a movie for some reason or another, and this year it was Anora. Mark my words though, Cynthia WILL win an Oscar some day
@enobnala90
Movie magic on live tv. We literally are not worthy. I’m glad we got it anyway.
@enobnala90
We are literally not worthy. My god.

@christophercox936
Jesus. That’s all I can say.
@jossamaya5853
This was a beautiful performance 👏
@noncatholiccatholicrat6309
As a fan of Ariana's vocals, this cover of over the rainbow was really disappointing. Her breath control sounds way worse than normal(thou it was never really her strong-suit), and the arrangement and orchestration was also bland/plain bad.
@jacquaywyatt7091
She made the song hers!! Love it. Great job Kelly
@columbsaki
To make Cynthia do this live and then not give her award is crazy work.
@christybanks6255
Amazon…please read this comment. You need to hire Cynthia to sing the next James Bond opening song
@saharawylde9666
0:50 I ugly sob every time I hear this line. She made her childhood dreams come true in landing this role… it’s just incredible🥹🥰

Absolutely SPECTACULAR! These two ladies are magic! I've watched this video a million times
@ajaworlds7040
Her voice is so reactive, i jus feel so many things when she let's out those beautiful sounds ❤
@SOLDbyYOU
Two great singers….. the performance…. Gorgeous…except for the lip sync part.
Ionic…there is no high wire … trapeze without a net…
It’s all staged staging… singers covering covers.
Even if they wanted to…..
They wouldn’t be allowed to
This is not a great duet of singers…. It’s too actors. Possibly singing along.
The proof is in what the promos ..DONT…say…
“PURE…ACTUAL…SINGING PERFORMANCE”
If it was … that would be leaked out
@Cosmicrae717
I am openly admitting that I start my day watching this performance since it aired. I am unashamed. Defying Gravity!
@6MyUsername9
The only woman who looks better as a green witch
@michellelabella2969

@LoveYa-gurl
You just know Keke Palmer was in that crowd GEEKING when it was time for that war cry😭
@nicolejttmom6061
Who else had their eyes fill up with tears when Cynthia sang "where there's love overflowing" 🥹? Never heard her voice before, just WOW. Obviously, I could sing better, but she did her solid best😏.
@joophrodite
Best part of the night! Look how excited everyone was for this. Its hard to believe the girls didn’t go home with anything. But thats a whole other can of worms. For right now, I’m gonna enjoy this performance, evidence of their greatness! 🙂↕️🫶🏽
