If no one told you, Miss Stephanie Mills was the first black Dorothy to travel to Oz on Broadway. She was the first to express the belief that Home was found when you knew your heart, your mind, and your courage. That Home was found inside and if you know yourself; you're always home, anywhere. And she is still spreading that message today. One of our Iconic QUEENS.❤❤❤
There's a performance where she runs back and forth holding the home note. She was the original Dorothy from The Wiz and she recorded it after the composers both died, as a tribute to them and after not singing or performing any of the material for years. I was fortunate enough to catch her in the early 90s revival at The Schubert Theatre in Chicago. Be a Lion took me out.
This song is older than you are and it's your music history!!!! It's what we do with music!!! We are a very musical people and it's everywhere if you look!!! I have followed you for awhile now and always, your strongest responses are to the real legends of music!!! Keep learning!!!
I don’t think I’ve ever known you to pause so many times in a reaction but……I COMPLETELY understand. Stephanie Mills is, in no disrespect, a pint size powerhouse singer! I had the pleasure of meeting her some years ago and she was the nicest and most genuine and down to earth celebrities I’d ever met.
This performance was absolutely🔥🔥🔥🔥 Stephanie's vocal abilities are truly amazing! She owns this song! And I agree, Lisa Fischer's live performance is also one of the best! Great reaction Twon!
Done blew this young mans entire mind, body and soul!! He gone on to Glory on earth. Got smoke coming from out your ears! 😂 Love it! She has the voice of pure perfection
It's too bad that she didn't get cast in the movie. Although Diana Ross does do a great job with her rendition of Home, nothing beats Stephanie's. (Diana was also too old for the role.) But I understand the producer's reasoning. Diana was a much bigger star, including an Oscar winner, and they wanted a big name to help sell it.
I don't think she was ever underrated. She was always known as a great singer and one of the greatest R&B female singers of all time. Shes on a short list of all-time great female singers.
When they came to the Apollo they came to give their best and then some lol. You should check out Tevin Campbell live at the Apollo “Tell Me What You Want Me To Do”.
Stephanie Mills is a national treasure. I got excited watching you react. About half way through I started thinking that if you like it so for just wait! Each time you think she has topped out she goes to another level.
Yesssssss she is in a category all by her self. To only be 4 ft. tall to have such an amazing powerful voice was on of the highlights of my childhood when it came to hearing a black female artist. I’m truly enjoying watching your reactions.❤
Ya know I hate to go there and to compare BUT! As fantastic as Whitney always was and she was without a doubt why oh why did they never put Stephanie up there and give her as much credit as Whitney? You see what she can do right so you explain that to me? I've been a fan of SM from the beginning. Twon do one of her other songs, or ALL of them, like Put Your Body In It.... Peace.
I agree. When people mention the true Divas they always mention Whitney, Mariah, Chaka Khan, Anita but Stephanie seems to get lost in the shuffle somehow. I don’t get it either.🤷🏽♀️
Blame the industry who never wanted to elevate black artist. Stephanie to them didn’t fit the criteria to be shown to the masses, but it’s okay because she’s loved by people all around, and she’s a music legend for that very reason.
What’s good Twon I’m going to keep the vibes going with live performances from back in my day Please react to the group SILK--“Lose Control “ LIVE from the Apollo If you have reacted to this before I apologize but their vocals are Epic! More to come
The reason why they did not push her because she didn’t look like the image they were looking for at that time, which was a huge big mistake. She was very short, but a powerhouse she was considered an outcast when she first started because she wasn’t that attractive to them, but she had her nose job done and she worked on herself to look better. Put her in the RB category because that’s what black singers had to do back then. But she got to experience stars like Liza Minnelli Sarah Vaughan Barbra Streisand. And other artist that were phenomenal so she had a blueprint. All she had to do is use her style back then black artist got a little bit from everybody to create their own style. Everybody sound alike except a few.❤
Do NOT stop Stephanie like that! But it is clear you were completely blown away so I know no disrespect was intended 😮 And I agree: one of the best live performances EVER ❤
What’s good Twon I know I’m late but I just watched your reaction to Stephanie Mills Live Apollo Performance and of course I loved it! But I’ve been telling you, you’ve only scratched the surface with old school performances! I waited forever for your Lisa Fischer reaction…priceless! Anyway, keep up the great reactions!
I saw you reacted to one my faves Steely Dan and to Stormzy too, who has collaborated with Jacob Collier, Check him out. You can start here: All Night Long (his multi-instrumentalism): ruclips.net/video/nspqYGz-Z1s/видео.html Moon River (his huge vocal range a capella, just him): ruclips.net/video/VPLCk-FTVvw/видео.html Did I mention that he's a musical genius?
Great reaction - you should check out: Rush: By-Tor & The Snow Dog (Lyrics) Don't watch the live version, because they cut half the song. The song is about the producer's two dogs: a German Shepherd nicknamed By-tor (biter) and a poodle nicknamed Snowdog - the song is about the two dogs playing in the snow. You can hear a representation of the Shepherd growling and the poodle yipping - it is hilarious. Neil Peart created an entirely new mythology with the lyrics of this song. ruclips.net/video/a1vlx2a_aDE/видео.html
Short time at the Palo was a talent show but you also had establish stars on there too They bood Lauren Hill when she came on there Before she was a star
Please bro react on kr$na he's the best rapper in react on the songs 1.freeverse feats 2.playground 3.overdrive 4.makeover 5.prathna 6.blowing up And more are there just go and react on the first one please i request you i wanna see your reaction on him 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Just some Tea, shes really small not even 5 ft packing that big voice, also, micheal jackson was obsessed with her..they dated and practically lived together..he loved her in the wiz and would be at shows every night for months and then they started dating but broke up for reasons I can't remember..lol
According to Stephanie there were two main reasons. First, Michael's goal was to become the biggest music star in the world. In order to make that happen he wanted to associate with certain people that she didn't care for. It was also obvious that he was much more driven and had much bigger goals than she did. Mills also said that it was Michael's family that wanted him to date her - a black woman. For Michael, according to Stephanie, he wanted a certain kind of woman, one that would help his career. Although she never really spells it out, you can pretty much figure out that she meant white women. If you look at his dating record, she was right, as he never dated another black woman again.
If no one told you, Miss Stephanie Mills was the first black Dorothy to travel to Oz on Broadway. She was the first to express the belief that Home was found when you knew your heart, your mind, and your courage. That Home was found inside and if you know yourself; you're always home, anywhere. And she is still spreading that message today. One of our Iconic QUEENS.❤❤❤
Loved the reaction!! You should react to I feel good all over by Stephanie Mills❤
Her performance brought this white guy to tears! She is so under rated. Her voice is one of the greats!
listen to everyone
Stephanie's voice was powerful, and still is today! And she's a gorgeous Sister!
The sensational Stephanie Mills...there's only one.
There's a performance where she runs back and forth holding the home note.

This is why we can't feel the music of today. The soul has been drained into a miniscule fraction of itself.❤ Love your reaction
Yes for the most part..the mainstream music
This song is older than you are and it's your music history!!!! It's what we do with music!!! We are a very musical people and it's everywhere if you look!!! I have followed you for awhile now and always, your strongest responses are to the real legends of music!!! Keep learning!!!

She's a tiny lady with a BIG voice!
I think you are in the spirit! She is a broadway singer…big voice in a little body!
This performance was absolutely🔥🔥🔥🔥 Stephanie's vocal abilities are truly amazing! She owns this song! And I agree, Lisa Fischer's live performance is also one of the best! Great reaction Twon!

I was lucky enough to see Stephanie sing this on Broadway in the Wiz in 1977💝
Wow
The most underrated singers of all time. However, she is one of the best singers/performers of all time.
I don't think she was ever underrated. She was always known as a great singer and one of the greatest R&B female singers of all time. Shes on a short list of all-time great female singers.
