Forget the speech. Sheryl Lee Ralph celebrated her Emmys win with this powerful song

If you forgot that “Abbott Elementary” star Sheryl Lee Ralph is also a Tony-nominated singer, don’t worry. She just reminded you.

During the 74th Emmys on Monday, the acclaimed veteran performer sang the house down upon winning the award for supporting actress in a comedy. But instead of the traditional acceptance speech, the “Moesha” actor channeled a song by jazz vocalist Dianne Reeves to express herself.

“I am an endangered species / But I sing no victim’s song / I am a woman, I am an artist / And I know where my voice belongs,” she thundered a cappella, reciting lines from Reeves’ “Endangered Species.”

Receiving standing ovations before and after she took the stage, Ralph dedicated her first Emmy to dreamers.

“To anyone who has ever, ever had a dream and thought your dream wasn’t, wouldn’t, couldn’t come true, I am here to tell you that this is what believing looks like,” she said as several of her peers rose from their seats. “This is what striving looks like.”

“And don’t you ever, ever give up on you, because if you get a Quinta Brunson in your corner, if you get a husband like mine in your corner, if you get children like mine in your corner, and if you’ve got friends like everybody who voted for me, cheered for me, loved me — thank you! Thank you!”

Ralph earned the Emmy for her turn as Barbara Howard, a schoolteacher, in ABC’s “Abbott Elementary.” Her victory marked the first prime-time win for “Abbott Elementary,” which is also up for comedy series and lead actress in a comedy series.
