Holy Moly! If angels are real, they sound like her. Was anyone able to see her live? Her "I'm here" is probably one of the best things I've ever heard on a professional stage. The woman is insane!

I saw her in the first national, several times and each performance of hers was nothing less than vocally jaw dropping.

She is the best sung Celie out there. Hands down.

Really? I've always thought "I'm Here" was a marvelous song. It's such a powerful anthem and very catchy.

I'm so sad I never got to see a major production of this show.

What's she up to now?

Shakin - don't mind me. I love the novel and the film, but the score feels anemic and generic to me. It's not regarded as a great score is it?

"It's not regarded as a great score is it?"

No I don't think it is. I have never cared for much of the score, but "I'm here" is a home run.

Color Purple has some great songs.
It is NOT a great SCORE. Very different animals.

here's Bayardelle in the RENT tour as the Seasons of Love soloists who, IMO, is the best to ever sing it.

She was fantastic in the role and it was thrilling to see live. It's thrilling to watch her perform I'm Here (in the show, where the energy was more intense than other performances) -and i watch it often.
