First time hearing her and instantly fell in love and when Prince gave the head nod of approval I knew she was something special. Love Esperanza Spalding
You prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot the password. I would love any tips you can give me
At First Prince Was Feeling It, But When She Put In That First Little Change He Sat Back 🙂 ; The Ending Took Him All The Way Out. So, He Was Like, " Ok, U Did It Your Way. " Lol 😂
Yeh you could def see he was feeling it. He was absorbing her, her take on the song and listening to her bass playing - she’s incredibly mesmerising! Also the camera was on him so I think he was conscious of not giving away too much but I think he got lost in the music and her rendition for a sec so he had to sit back 😅
If there was going to be a cover, we couldn't have asked for a better one or more different one than this one done by the beautiful Esperanza Spalding.
Absolutely NOT lip-syncing. I've seen her live 3x (hopefully a 4th coming up, Covid-permitting) and her level of live singing, bass playing, and performance is off the charts by today's pre-packaged, canned superstar standards.
@@teeteetina9063 yes you are right , plus I watch this performance when it was air live, she been to the white house and I enjoyed her performance at the prince tribute. She did not Lip sync at this performance, I read an article he actually pick her, Alicia keys, chaka khan, ms. Labelle to perform his songs. At the BET Show, I've been a prince fan since 1978 seen him in the 80s at his concerts, so no lip sync here. I happen to be a servant of jehovah See you in paradise.
@@dezmondharris3644 NO, NO, JUST NO .......she is rather lovely, and is very talented but I just don't like this.........A little titbit for you, did you know that Prince gave her £100,000 cos he felt like it and cos they were good friends and he thought she was talented.

The space between Esperanza and Prince was like a proud father to daughter. It was touching to see how they were moved by each other
That was amazing

me encanta esto y lo mejor son las expresiones de prince
I remember thinking "well that was different Esperanza🤔" ...used to the TLC remake but clearly the honoree enjoyed it
She was the Bomb💣
Here in 2020.
I'm here in 2021.
She reminds me of Peter guns baby mom tyra from love and hiphop
Her name is Tara.
@@michaelascott2257 aww✔️
thankyouuuu
Welcomeeee!
Don’t delete this
Histórico!
Her performance was best to be honest
What instrument is she playing here, please?
So far I've spotted the Stagg Electric Double Bass
This might be a
BSX Bass Allegro 5-String Acoustic-Electric Upright Bass
Anyone know why the other tributes were taken down?
I think copyright strikes i remember patti labelle sung purple rain
Yes, I remember Patti LaBelle singing "Purple Rain" by R.I.P. Prince's tribute at BET Awards '10!
Tlc should’ve sang this for him
Esperanza's got this. True talent on display. Watch, listen, and learn from the Queen of jazz.
He chose her
Naw…
Portland Oregon representing. Learn about Portland’s Jazz an Blues history. Best Jazz spot the west of the Mississippi River in those days.
What is this song?
If I was your girlfriend
I thought she was alicia keys
Yeah, she was! R.I.P. Prince.
Who is this?
Esperanza Spalding. Prince loved her.
I think she opened some shows for him on the welcome to America tour iirc
I love her and I love this too short tribute.
Esperanza Spalding!!!!
Looks like lip syncing but still fabulous.
Morris Rowe the vid is off sync
@@MarcusL1995 thank you.
She absolutely isn’t lip syncing. Watch her other live performances. This beautiful woman is on point always. True talent.
