Rihanna - Lift Me Up (Oscar 2023 Performance)

Every time I hear this song, I cry. I lost my sister to Covid, and this song is like a prayer... I pray that my sister give me strength because I am drowning in an endless sea of sorrow. Beautiful song. Thank you, Rihanna.

This song is spiritual. Gives you chills. The choir background is amazing.

I pray she continues to explore the depths and warmth of her voice. She’s able to invoke real emotions not a lot of singers are able to bring.

I think this song would've gotten enough recognition if the original was arranged this way with an orchestra. It really brought the song to life.

This song, it gave me chills when it popped up at the ending of Wakanda forever. This just did it again. I love hearing this song. The emotion she put into it brought me to tears.

Standing ovation! The emotion that Rihanna was able to portray in this song was unmatched!

The first " liiiiiiiift me up" with some acoustic is the best what i heard in my life with music and give me goosebumps

This song makes me weep every time I listen to it…it makes me think of all my loved ones I’ve lost that lifted me up and held me down. When you’re blessed to have people in your life that have your back cherish them…hold on tight to them. We are only here for a moment. Rihanna’s performance was phenomenal they all did an amazing job! Bravo!!

I love when she sings these kind of songs cause it shows her emotion and her vocals like how she was for her ‘love on the brain’ billboard awards performance ❤️💯

Can we talk about how her voice is identical to the recording? IT'S HER NATURE'S VOICE, no editing or autotune!! SHE IS PERFECT.

Can we talk about the fact that she happens to have a face that meshes perfect with ANY hairstyle!!? All of the billion things she’s rocked have slayed

I'm crying with joy for Rhianna! This is her season to REAP everything she WORKED SO hard to SOW! Rhianna you SLAYED! Her performance gave me chills! LORD KEEP LIFTING ME UP, AND HOLDING ME DOWN. I can't make it without you Lord! AMEN.

Words can’t describe how wonderful of a performance she gave, she gave it her all. She was destined to perform there, definitely an emotional & memorable moment of last night. I’m so proud of our girl RiRi. #Caribbean

Riri superpower is she's her!! She copies nobody!! Her own lane!! So many artist mimic others until they bore us!! She knows how to take a break! Get in other ventures, find herself, and grow!! Motherhood has definitely changed her!! This her year!! Absolutely beautiful 💜🔥🔥

Epic performance.. I have a few award show favourites, Whitney's One Moment in Time, Demi Levato's Anyone and now, Lift Me Up, Rihanna. Just stunning... So raw and powerful!! Stunning.

Simply beautiful, she had me in tears yall. She has truly matured In her singing. She touched me once again, FLAWLESS.

I cannot described in words how I’m mesmerized by Rihanna. She’s amazing❤

I can't believe this song didn't win an award this season. Man, this song hits to the core.

This was a beautiful performance. She sounds like the recorded song ! Nothing can top this. Pure and raw !
