SIR!!!!!!!!! The fact you were able to mirror that last note!!!! My GOD!!!! SING AND TEACH US AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!!
Right!!!! I’m laying down watching this,tried to hit that note and got LIGHT HEADED 🥴 😮💨
Gave me goosebumps.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I appreciate y’all!
I didn't realize this was a SIR until I seen your comment. Amazing.
This is so good… I am offended 😂
I am Just mad that I am a tenor now and you hit that note effortlessly! 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
Look at your daughters Ms.Nina Simone. Look at your legacy. 🖤🎼🖤
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Amen to that! ❤
Amen 🙏🏾
Love this comment!
Yes that's Nina's song!
As a black woman, this performance makes me so emotional. All Their voices are simply amazing & naturally gifted
One of the best performances of all time.
Mine too. Everytime I hear it, I cry.
It’s a beautifully well written song, the music composition suited it like a match made in heaven and each woman sang their own testimonies while respecting the original tone. It was a master class performance.
Made me emotional
Ledisi is one of my top 5 favorite vocalist. Her range is immaculate ❤️❤️❤️
She's so powerful
I so sad I didn't get her sooner. I seen her in concert last month and I like must have been living under a rock. That gurl can sanggg!!
@@mink4inc I got to see her live a few years ago and she was absolutely amazing 💕
She’s unmatched. 🙌🏾
We’re not just gonna float past how you just hit that “my name is peaches”at the end and then just kept coaching like it was nothing😩😩🙌🏽🙌🏽🌟🌟✨✨
Right!! I watch these just to hear him sing 😂😂 freaking amazing voice!
Right?!?! Like that’s just normal. I had to rewind to see if it was actually him! My goodness!
💯💯
@@blkqueen198 mannnn me too girl💕😂
@@MR_Mocha_Major I know I kept hitting 10 second rewind😂😂
Ledisi voice in my opinion is a testament that classical training will give you vocal longevity. The girl knows how to fuel her instrument with her breath and it shows every time she touches a 🎙.
She's really good at circular breathing to hold those notes.
Yessss 💯
I DONT CARE FOR THAT,YODEL!!❤ ITS JUST ME!! LEDISI,JILL,CRAZY 👍 👍 GOOD!!❤ MY 2 FAVS!!❤!!
I love Jill... but facts is facts #2day
Yeah
They straight played this song. Ive never heard a song before with so many vocal textures, melodically placed. No over singing at all, just well placed intentions amongst them all. Classic!
Precisely 💯
Your remark is so true. This shows how much they respect each other talent with the confidence of their own... our host is an awesome singer and teacher. Are you in Miami I would come to your classes... thanks for what you share.
I agree brother
KELLY PRICE is always a phenomenal technically, but baybeeee the way LEDISI had something to PROVE ON THIS NIGHT!!!
No disrespect, but - Ledisi ain't got NOTHIN' to prove!! She bodied her part and brought the sentiments of the entire song together.
Jill Scott is everything to me!!
I love the way she feels what’s she sings and she takes you with her.
@@girlinterrupted2625 facts I be feelin like I was just be drifting wen she sings
She was my favorite in this performance, and that was hard to choose from.
Oh my gosh I just love Jill Scott. 🙌🏾🔥
Yaaaassssss 💜🔥
Everythaaaannggg 👍🏾😁
Marsha’s instrument is made for rnb and jazz she’s not a belter but still can SANG 🙏🏾
The man screamed PEACHES on key and on cue at the drop of the dime without flinching, taking a breath or even thinking about it. That’s skills. He definitely felt dem peaches. 👏🏾
Jill & Ledisi gone do it for me every time… 😩🙌🏽👏🏽✨
Marsha Ambrosius reminds me of Aaron Neville with her vocal style. Another great and underrated singer.
for sure
Oh yeah!
I agree ❤️❤️. I love to her Aaron sing!
I use to think that I was the only one who noticed that. I've always said that but the difference between me and you is that I don't like the sound of her voice or Aaron Neville. It gets irritating if I listen too long. She can sing, but I'm not a fan of her style...ha! Her voice irritates me like Daron from 112 and Tao from Dru Hill. They can sang, but there is something about there voices that I cringe at from time to time. To each their own though, I know we all tend to favor certain voices over others. Peace and love fam!
I never thought of that. You are SO right! ❤️
Dearest Vocal Teacher!! This review is gold, I love how you teach me how to listen AND HEAR!! But my love - stop 👏🏾playing 👏🏾 with 👏🏾 us 👏🏾 and 👏🏾 sing 👏🏾 to 👏🏾 us 👏🏾
I agree
Child Thank You ! I was thinking the same thing !!
Please sing to us !!! We need to hear you !!
Y’all are so nice. Thank you so much!
Agreed. I need an A & B selection
All of this!!!!
Nina Simone was and is a genius and these ladies captured that perfectly
These women didn't sing, they SANG! ❤️
this performance was historic
Yeah it was!
Yes. Legendary. It was perfect!
One of my favorite performances on an awards show! It was powerful.
Veryyy much thissss
ruclips.net/video/pAmP-XGqUCA/видео.html
THIS! Whomever was behind the scenes that got these four together 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 every time. Masterpiece!
Yesss
This is a top 5 vocal GOAT Performance. Marsha's voice cannot be duplicated. I'm in love with her very unique voice. Ledisi, Jill, Kelly GOATS!
I had the honor of of attending that taping of Black Girls Rock. There’s was a technical issue with the 1st recording and we got to hear an encore of that beautiful performance. The 2nd performance you see right here was even more incredible than the 1st believe it or not. It was as if each of them put more emotion into it and I had chills. Each one of those women have unique and beautiful singing techniques and sounded absolutely perfect in unison. I am a huge fan of each of those wonderfully talented women and this was the best most incredible performance I have ever witnessed by far!!!!
I guess the first glitch became a live warm up and each had a chance to reflect what they could have done better. We all won
I was there as well. The performance gave me goosebumps. First time I am watching it since then.
Marsha had a operatic singing coach. She’s so different, blessed girl from south east London.
Shame they didn't teach her how to sing without butchering every song she sings. She should stick to writing & producing
@@jinaedinisci203 Have you listen to all her stuff? Just curious, how you came to that conclusion.
@@cbtube1677 I'm from the UK just like she is so I know of Floetry which she was in with another girl. I've probably heard a lot more of her stuff than you have. I've also heard the tributes she's been a part of & the one consistent thing is that she has no control of her voice trying to do runs & ending up going all over the place. She murders every song she sings. Take a listen to when she was part of the Gladys Knight tribute singing If I Was Your Woman. Gladys Knight was one of my musical influences growing up & is still one of my all time favourite vocalists so to hear Marsha completely butcher the song was painful. Like I said, she's a great writer & producer so she should stick to that. Just like Beyonce should stick to singing & leave acting alone 🤷♀️
@@jinaedinisci203 I actually went primary school with her.
Find her sadly, like a lot of artist that get stuck in a mode and it reflects in their sales and progression as a artist.
I used to go singing classes with her and Marvin (her brother) and trained with Ray Shell. She is very talented and a great producer!!
I don't quite know how to describe it but Ledisi has this tension to her singing that makes it super interesting to listen to. Just makes you wanna know what she's singing about.
That 4 part harmony that they had at the end was so delicious 🥹
They couldn’t have picked better women to sing this song & ALL of them have a special place in my heart as phenomenal vocalists!!! & Sir, u got it!! Yes u do!! 💜💜💜💜💜🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Never seen this before...and I'm emotional. Who just wanted to blow my mind by putting these DIVAS together on the same stage with this song. Don't know what to call my emotions!
You ought see the one with Lisa Fischer. It gave...
My first time ever seeing this and him too, but with a song like that and voices like this, it should definitely stoke yo emotions
@@blacklove804 Lisa Fischer and who
Guilty as charged. :) One of my proudest moments at BET. Shout to Beverly Bond ALWAYS for Black Girls Rock. sgh
@@stephenhill2055 I watched this on tv from UK. I was stunned into silence at the time. Breathtaking performance from incredible artists and shout out to the band too. Thank You!!
Always loved this performance. All the women were phenomenal. Ledisi shut it down with peaches.
Um….Jaron, really? I had to pause just to say wow…..dude, your voice is "amazeballs!" ….You could have just done the performance by yourself, doing all 4 parts! Geech…your sooo gifted!
Wow! Thank you so much! ✨✨✨
It’s you running it back for me 😍 and sounding the same as the artists; that’s how I sound in my head 😂 #Amazing
Thank you! 🙏🏾
Exactly!
Seen this year's ago, felt chills all over. Four underrated, and strong, awesome singers.
I definitely felt chills the first time with Marsha and Ledisi.
Sidenote: great day! Everything is a yodel with this guy, huh!?!?!?!? 😂
I've been obsessed with that performance from the first time I saw it😍😍😍
Same! I come back to it now and again, and get goosebumps every single time!
Me too
This performance with Kelly, Marsha, Jill and Ledisi was magnificent 👌🏾 #Incomparable
Strong enough to stand alone but fierce enough to stand polished, professional and humbly together. No insecurities; just beautiful gifts. Nice!
i watched this the night it premiered and I repeatedly get chills with each revisit. The choice of singer that did each part, i feel like was intentional - even if by just the approach and vocal style - in alignment with each character and their backstory in the song. first character - elder, mother, strong but well-worn - Kelly Price through her approach and vocal style - strong yet warm. forward yet worn. second character - bi-racial woman born from an enslaved woman and free white man - Marsha through her approach and vocal style - not lost yet searching, two different styles to the lyric - the yodel has yearning and pain in it, almost like somber cry in it. third character - a street walker, her power is in her body. Jill Scott - subtle power yet strong and intentional in her presentation of the lyric, knowing of herself. In mere seconds along the one line, she goes from feverish to hunger to satisfied and purposeful. fourth character - bold, streetwise Peaches - Ledisi, brassy assertive deliberate delivery of the lyric, eye contact never flinching, stance never wavering, slowly building up to that earth shattering roar. JUST EPIC.
I want to know whose responsible for arranging and knowing who should sing what cause their brilliant.
What I also appreciate about this, and it may seem trivial, is the fact that I believe each singer. Their physicality matches with the lyrics, their complexions as well as their emotive skills. I think that that was something l lacking in the first one.
This is a succinct synopsis
Um you just gave me chills
They are Not underrated,all 4 are Awesome Powerful & Power House Vocalist's💯💖🙌🏾👏🏾👊🏽
Insane how all 4 ladies brought a perfect combination of vocal clarity, style and texture.
I wanted more. I could listen to this everyday. Thank you for helping us understand the placement of these notes.
I love the art in act of this performance. You’re right they emoted the heck l out of this. Kelly humble, meek and strong in strength like Sarah. Sephronia sounded like she’s tight rope walking balancing being her mothers aggressor child and suffering that bias of being negro and white, it’s touching because that’s my great grandmothers story in lyric and Ambrosia being Afro British and Britain likes to hide its racism . Sweet Thing sassy and sexy for sale but in pain playing that role. Jill showcased that. And finally Ledesi being a bitter fruit because ain’t nothing about her life sweet.
Thanks for the explanation!
THIS!!!! Is is what these new “whisper singing” girls need to know how to do to be considered artists. Long lashes, lace fronts, and bundles ain’t cutting it no more. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you sir.
I agree 💯.
So true
Right!!
Considered artist??? You mean Considered sangers.. everyone has different voices. Being an artist doesn't have anything to do with a voice
Legit I thought I was the only one who called it Whispering Singing 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Ledisi has always been great. I have her first album.
I have all of them. Ledisi is one of the greatest voices of our time hands down!
Great analysis. All these ladies are phenomenal, but Marsha slays me. Whatever that is that she does is not just a yodel. It's almost like another language that comes out of her. It's so natural and fluid and smooth, but complex at the same time.
And her range
She has that ethereal vibe to her voice. Most don’t fully respect that.
It’s like a riff in between her notes.
I been trying to figure out what that's called. I need a DNA test on Marsha cause her roots go back to somewhere with that voice..
Yesssssssa
I love Marsha. I never thought of her style of singing as a yodel, but you are right it is.
I've always thought she butchers every sing she sings. She's a great writer & producer...she should stick to that
im boohoo sobbing. every time i hear their rendition of this song im in tears. thanks for the analysis and break down!! added a whole lot to the experience of watching it again
Yesssszzzzz!! A vocal coach on YT that can actually blow! Well done sir, we’ll done. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I am a fan of Floetry, I am also glad that you took the time to dissect Marsha's voice as a solo artist, it took time for her voice to grow on me but I love her music now and her style,i agree that her runs have a unique yoddle quality
The way you’re breaking things down is such a blessing. It’s the technical uniqueness for me. 💁🏾♂️
I’ve never heard this song done by anyone but Ms. Nina Simone. They really did an amazing job. My soul!!!!
There’s a taping of it sung by Angelique Kodjo, Lizz Wright, Dianne Reeves, and Nina’s daughter, Lisa. Equally meaningful b/c Lisa sings Sweet Thing, Angelique starts it off so we begin in Africa, Lizz is smooth & Dianne brings it home.
I mean you betta HIT that end note!!!! I just threw my shoe...Did you feel it?!! Whew!! God's grace and favor shine upon you, your family, and your brand continually in abundance 💜☦🕊🥰💖
Amen. Thank you! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@jmlegrairstudio Amen! You're so welcome 💜🙏🏿
Ha ha so funny. I'm sure ledisi threw her shoe too.... . This guy is such a talent. Amazing. Not to mention the video he analysed is too beautiful. I once had a singing class with marsha circa 1999. She literally made the class silent after singing.
U did that sir, u know the how indeed! 🔥🫶🏽
Your voice!!!!! And then how you break down these vocals… TALENTED
Thank you!!✨🙏🏾
I had the esteemed pleasure of being present and up close for that recording of Black Girls Rock and it was even better in person!
I literally just watched this again for the hundredth time the other day. Still to me one of the best show performances ever!
ruclips.net/video/pAmP-XGqUCA/видео.html
Hands down! All of these women came and did what needed to be done! Not one of the new r&b girls could stand ten toes down in front of a mic (that is on) and emote, project, enunciate and just SANG captivating an audience like these veterans in the game.
These powerful black women!!! Thank you for sharing this!!
I really enjoyed it
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
You betta "Peachessss" me at the end of this video!!!! My God!!!!
Sing, SIR, *yeeesh* just sing!!!!
Kelly Price is one of the best live singers ever….
Ok you really are a PROFESSOR! I feel like I had my first lesson in understanding singing styles and techniques ❣️
I'm rating you an A+😇
Excellent performance! One the BEST ensemble performances EVER televised! Excellent analysis!
I think about this performance all the time. I haven’t heard it in years but I remember all the words
every single word sis. this performance is powerful. I often search this song on RUclips just to feel all the feels all over again
All the ladies were awesome for each part that they were singing. That was deliberately put together that way. These ladies each have such uniqueness about their singing style and it was displayed in this song.
Let me move on to you singing my name is peaches part, as if it was nothing and moving right along on us 😂, that sir was excellent.
I’m no singer, just a girl that loves good music.
First off, the collection of artists is top tier. Each flavor, each shade, each tone just gives me goosebumps. Dopeness
YESSSSS. 🙌🏾
Could you do an analysis on Tems ?!?!? Her voice is so beautiful and feel like you'll enjoy hearing her sing!
Hand claps to you for doing this reaction. 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿 It's one of my favorite performance pieces to watch and every woman's voice was captivating. They fit their characters and the emotions felt were brilliant to behold. Just excellent.
I really wish these 4 would collab and put an album out. LSG in the female form fire!!!!
Somebody has to cut a big cheque for that to happen.
@@saga960 it could happen
That would be powerful! The music would have stories, messages, purpose, and all jams. ❤
I've "NEVER" witnessed a true In-depth breakdown of a song till NOW! 🙏Thank❤️You🙏
hahahaha oh my gosh, the chops shown at the end by you sir! ledisi is such a goddess.
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Marsha’s voice will give you chills live!!!!!
That girl Ledisi had my whole body in chills. Your voice is crazy… can’t believe you got up there at the end. Just excellent as always
This is one of my favorite performances, these ladies are all powerful vocally. Thank you for analyzing this great performance.
Powerful performance by four of my favorite female artists!!
YESSSSS. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ditto.
Imagine if Rachelle Ferrell was there too….lawd!!!
Omg!!!! Rarely do I ever click on a video this fast. 😂 I'm so excited to watch this! I love this performance so much!!!
Same!!!!
Same!!!!
I felt this performance so much that I cried the first time I heard it. I love Marsha's vocals, that yodeling, and the pain came through. Just an incredible performance by all.
Wow! I used to watch this video everyday. Each of these women were absolutely phenomenal. And that last note takes me out every time! 🙌🏽✨🐐👑♥️
Sir… you not goin bypass the fact that you used your WHOLE torso too… 🤪👏🏾 Love it!
C’mon for my name is Peaches!! This performance will always be legendary for what it gave!! I loved your breakdown!! ❤️❤️❤️
The Interesting thing is Jill and Marsha came from the school of Jaguar Wright, Philly singers are very Unique in their delivery
Marsha is from Liverpool, England JS. She didn’t get the props she deserved here from the labels, so hot-stepped to the States. These women are amazing 🙏🏾🥰
@@freshdew4153 Marsha also grew up in SE5, London. I watched her perform in secondary (high) school assemblies ...
@@leanita7549 oh right…..hence Floetry. Just had to say she was from here, not Philly.
Lies
@@kentthomason6285 why the shade?
All of these sisters did the damn thing. I love my people. We have the most beautiful voices known ever. We don’t have to do much & I love it. ❤️❤️❤️
I needed one more minute sir!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Those Queens SAAAAANNNNNGGGGGED!!!!
One of the BEST performances EVER!!
Ahhhhhh, the nuances- you explain things so extraordinarily well. I learn so much from you. 🙏💖 All four of these ladies are phenom - but Ledisi stirs my entire soul.
As a Musician i just Love your gift in analyzing this song which gives such an appreciation for all that goes into the listening experience. I again feel validated in what I try to teach. Thanks
Still my favorite rendition of this song!
Wow.....Great Analysis! I remember watching this performance when it originally aired, and I was Floored by the vocals. Your breaking it down here let's me know why I was Floored!! These Queens did their things on this beautiful song!! Again, thanks for your Expert Analysis. Also, you have a Spectacular Voice yourself!!!
Your smile when Ledisi opened her mouth says everything 😊
🤩
The TALENT in this video is off the meter... Wow. All of them did wonderful but LEDISI ate her part whole. I her vocals so purposeful. Each one of them were perfect. Look, your teaching gives so much CLARITY to music... I wish I could sit by you and hear this breakdown it's so amazjng. Your vocals are vicious as well..
Man I'm going to tell you what...first of all this song is fire 🔥 and these 4 Lovely Black women are vocally amazing.
Lastly I would like to say, I have never in my life heard a person break down a song like this brother did, man it was incredible, I felt like I was in a class or something...the way this brother was breaking down this song...I felt like I understood the song more listening to this break down...I subscribed to the channel, and I'm not a singer at all nor do I know anything about music.
My Daughter sings & loves to sing...I'm going to send her this video
YESSSSSS!!!!!!! This is one of my absolute favorites. I am so grateful to you, and to all of these amazing women. As one of those who was asking for a full video on this, I'm just over the moon and full of gratitude. Also, your ability to match f*ing LEDISI on that epic note... holy smokes! Marsha Ambrosius's technique reminds me of qawwali singing. Also, what a great point you make about the open chords doing a kind of text painting of the song's meaning.
✨✨✨✨✨ thank you!
The way you mimicked each and every note, explained how the note was sung and gave us the movement to go along with it....WHEW!!! YOU BETTER!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This performance always puts me in a wonderful trance. These ladies killed it. Your teaching is magnificent. Ok last note on peaches.
Saw this notification and wasted NO TIME!!!! Ilove this performance and still go back to it from time to time.
Yeah - don’t try this one at home folks! You gotta go through some stuff to sing like this! It feels very literary in the sense that it’s so much more personal than just the basic “And I will always love you” (not an easy song, but lends itself to be easily sung across cultures). However, this level of angst exist in all cultures; I’d be interested in seeing others sing this while letting the idiosyncrasies of their culture come through - could be Japanese, Egyptian, Argentinian, Russian, Chinese - who cares. Emotional pain is not unique to one culture.
That would be interesting.
Mr trying it st home cuz can't nobody hear me🤣🤣
I love that performance -- Nothing short of Black Excellence. Each one of the singers was telling a story with their vocals. I have watched this performance over and over again. Amazing.
I absolutely LOVE that you analyzed this song!! I LOVE this version of it! I LOVE the ladies sangin' it! These ladies were at their absolute BEST with each verse, culminating with LEDISI as the anchor leg! #WHEW
All of them are such beautiful and phenomenal singers!!And their voices are dynamic! I just saw Ledisi in June in Maryland she was wonderful !Her voice is like no other .And there were teaching moments in her song and performance! We loved it !!!🤗💖
I DONT KNOW IF I SHOULD CRY 😢 OR LAUGH 😂 BUT YOU BREAKING IT DOWN IS ON POINT 🤷🏽♀️
YOU are the real deal! You are a true vocal coach. You truly intimately understand the vocal Dynamics of the soulful black voice. I have never heard of vocal coach break down vocals the way you have . . .AND you can sing your butt off too! I love it!
This was my first time hearing this. They all were great but Ledisi👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽.
Jaron’s voice is amazing. Loved the video too. 💙🇬🇧💙
Thank you!
This was everything! I love them all so much! ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Me too. 🙌🏾
The fact that they made me feel the connection through each of them for these stories being told.🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You better sing that sir!!! Never cease to amaze me young man. Peace and blessings
You are phenomenal. I would watch you break down someone singing the "ABC" song....lol. Just a pleasure in way you approach your analyses of a song
Thank you so much! 🙏🏾✨
Omg I've wanted this analysis for so long😭😭
😆✨
Now these 4 women are amazing but you voice coach are something else!!!!
The voices of these four women give me the chills!!! I absolutely love this collaboration 😘😍
