Sisqo Was ‘Humbled’ By Cynthia Erivo’s Love Of The ‘Thong Song’

After Cynthia Erivo showed her love for Sisqo‘s vocals on the “Thong Song,” the Dru Hill lead singer has finally given his response.

“Let me find out they been talking about the Dragon on the interwebs and in these streets,” Sisqo said in the video.

“Much love to Cynthia Erivo,” he said later in the video. 

Sisqo then went on to express his admiration for the talents of Erivo.

“Man, I’ve been following Cynthia. She’s a superb vocalist. Superb actress. I first saw her in ‘Bad Times at the El Royale’ [a 2018 horror-thriller film]. She was singing in that movie,” Sisqo explained. “Usually I hate singing in a movie unless I know I’m going to [see] a musical […] She’s also in ‘Wicked‘ with another incredible vocalist, Ariana Grande and for me to respect her as a vocalist and an actor, and for her to shout out with these accolades, I was both humbled and pleasantly surprised.”

In the viral video, Erivo lauded Sisqo’s epic performance on the classic song.

“Why do you need to sing like this when singing about a thong?” “The whole end section of this song is so unnecessary. There’s a key change. There’s a whole praise break at some point in this with his voice,” she said. “It’s ridiculous. You don’t need to sing like that, and he does. He’s just enjoying himself, and the voice is doing what it’s meant to be doing. Fast forward to the very end and turn it up!”

She continued, “You can’t tell me that that’s not a good vocal because it is a good vocal. That’s a brilliant vocal for a song about a thong […] I just love how he uses his voice for something that you wouldn’t expect a voice to be used for. Now, are there other performances of Sisqo’s that warrant this? Probably, but I just was like this was the one that didn’t need him to do that, and yet he did. Hats off to you, Sisqo.”
