“Poor Cynthia Erivo ” might seem like an odd thing to think about a Grammy-winning, Oscar-nominated superstar whose film Wicked is edging its way toward billion-dollar box office returns. But if I had to suffer through civilians singing my own meme-making vocal runs back at me in public, I might be willing to trade it all back.

There’s a new way to greet Cynthia Erivo — singing the “war cry” of Defying Gravity! During the actress’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on January 27, she revealed how people “randomly” start singing the riff of the popular song ever since Wicked’s release.

The riff has since gone viral, with fans constantly attempting the difficult belt on social media — and to Erivo’s face, apparently. The superstar, who is an Oscar away from becoming the youngest EGOT member, joined Jimmy Kimmel Live this week, where the host asked her if people have sang the “war cry” to her in person.

Cynthia Erivo shares how fans try to recreate her iconic battle cry from 'Defying Gravity' without even introducing themselves.
