Erykah Badu is not a person. She's a presence.
and a mood.
Or an alien from another planet
facts

You Know Bro Pisces Women Are From Another Planet!🌊Pure and Strong
Who in 2020 still bumpin Erykah Badu give me a like........
Always! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I'm so with you on this Saturday afternoon!
@@shashamarie4760 Erykah Badu is my riding Positive Vibe Music
You know it. I keep this on my favorites.
Mamas Gun is still top 5 R&B album of all time.
Love the synergy between her, the band, and the backup singers.
Her band is actually a microcosm for African American culture. Thats the genius of this.
That's a fact... professionals at work
@@chat.lives.matter you are so right, watched It again just to see your point. Thank you.
미쳐따
Her background singers have always been an acoustic cheat code
You can tell she is lost in the PURE, SPIRITUAL energy of her own voice. She is MESMERIZING. This performance is hypnotizing. I adore her but stumbling upon this was LIFE ALTERING and there are people in the comments here who 100% feel me.
I probably watch and/or listen to this performance at least once a day. It brings me so much joy.
She is other worldly for sure.
Think she has also an extremely lovely high IQ , know a bit bout that, a bit. Not crazy yet very special./. we have to deal with it, No problm. Funny also yet very special. or no: both. Better.
This is not an award show.
This is a funk sermon.
I love that analogy.... this performance is spiritual
Amen
You most don't know her style very well then and to the rest of the 1k people that agreed with your comment!
I'm here 💯💯💯
Yessir
Shout out to my cousin, Melvin, holding it down on that trumpet!!!!!
Own level this woman. I stan👏👏👏👏👏
Kodi Morgan : He’s a bad mfka! channeling Miles...👏🏾👍🏾😎🎺
yeh melvin so dope
Kodi Morgan love
Kodi Morgan shout out!
Why do so many people call her weird, unearthly, magical. She s soooo real, honest, earthy and intouch with her own experience of the world she s in. That's why she s so amazing!
Cause she's not prancing around half naked in clownism & bafoonery. Erykah is a 'wake up' artist. I DEEPLY APPRECIATE her staying true to her craft. Class & wisdom & ethics & thought provoking lyrics. ✊🏽❤️☮️🧘🏽♀️🙏🏽❤️🎶💃🏾
Not trying to be funny at all, but if she doesn't live her life, caring what others call her then why should you? She's living in her moment and not letting the opinions of other's take focus from her journey. A lot of people can learn from being the same way. They would enjoy life more!
@@AntoinetteGenesis we don’t have to admonish one artist to praise another. It’s bad practice. Okay
I met her and believe me she's all of those things she's magical she's weird and unearthly and that is a great thing and she knows it I'm the same way she spoke to me through her eyes it was weird as f*** never experienced nothing like that in my life fyi she's a witch as well a good one though
@@Wholesomereads Who's admonishing another artist? Not me.🤔
Who’s here in 2024 still listening this? ❤
Green Eyes 0:00-3:00
I Want You 3:01-6:30
Tyrone 6:39-9:06

You're welcome! 💛
TamIam thank you
Good look. That’s a new rendition of &on, she need to drop that pronto!
NimbusAri Beasley lol so its on&on......&on,&on?
@NimbusAri Beasley &on was dropped on her Mama's gun album it's the 4th song in 2000 😊🙌🏽
NimbusAri Beasley not new...Mama's Gun album
Does anyone else feel like Erykah Badu has transcended to another plane and learned something transformative and is keeping that shit to herself??
jillhbaudhaan
Girllll....yess! Of course she can't share too much sacred information. Those who truly know how to read her frequency innerstand what she is saying without her verbalizing it.
I understand where you're coming from, However I will say that you are in part correct.. She has transcended only because we had to catch up....She's been schoolin us since day one, and now that more of us are awakening and becoming more aware, now she can transcend to the next level to learn and share ...Ase'
@@NomadicNotions866 well put
Hells yeah
But she tells you all the time...
Peace and blessings manifest with every lesson learned...
Still playing in 2024
I can tell she treats her background singers like family she kept giving them things to hold lol 🤣 😩❤️
I think one is her sister
Durand Bernarr in the middle!
@@sunnydaysatl I'm not her sister, but she does treat us like family.
You are referring to Nayrok Udab, who used to tour with us.
I'm the only chick in the band, besides the Queen herself; though I do miss Nayrok
💜💜
whomever greenlit her for a 20 minute set....needs a promotion.
Yesssss! Great lighting direction. Saw this show in KC and it was phenomenal !
I mean... she is a legend 🤷🏽♂️
fr fr that's that Baduism that just reels you in and you can't say no lol
What's crazy is i tried to watch the whole award show on here and it didn't include the whole set we see here which i was confused about. I thought it was kind of lame that it may have been cut short for TV. I didn't watch it on Tv when it premiered. So was it cut short then as well???
If im not mistaken, when you get awarded "living legend" you get to do a mini set like 20 min or so...
This girl is in a league of her own.... there will never be another Badu.
I was in high school when she first came out in the mid 90's and knowone really knew what to make if her. I knew she was going to be a monster because my parents (who were born in the 40's) thought her music was a throwback and incredibly refreshingly. On and on was just too funky back in the day. I don't think we really understood we were witness to true greatness back then as we do now.
She’s absolutely amazing but check out ari lennox. She has a similar voice and it’s amazing! I recommend you listen to her song shea butter baby
She is not a girl.
Still have Dubai
Facts!!
I'm here in 2022 and everytime I hear Erykah and her baduism, I get chills..
Here in 2022 also!
Me too ! Watching from Zimbabwe!
Amen
That’s me right now 🙌🏼
I love her and at 70 and in 2022 I love to hear her silky voice she make think of Miss Billie Holiday

God bless you ✨ 🍯
Thank you for the people in the back😂❤
Ty ty
She doesn’t get enough credit for being a natural vocalist remember she was a rapper ..her vibe is insane ...
She's always been a vocalist who could rap.
passion4posh She rapped under the name MC Apples
And she is a DJ and certified Doula as well. Ms. Bday wears many hats
Why separate the two , she’s simply an artist . Same with Lauryn hill .
Her vibe is definitely insane,love everyminute of it!!!
Only real Erykah Badu fans understand this groove. ❤️
COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU HUNEY,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Omg 🙄
FACTS!!!
Yassss
Asha Abdullah free spirit, truth, real God, love, inspiration, #love
She is has mastered her thoughts and turned them into musical poetry.
Does anyone else watch this on repeat , this vibe opens my soul, love it.
Yeah. I'm prolly gone get a million views in myself.
On the DAILY at least once but sometimes 5 times. Prob my all time fav /watched you tube video. She is so special.
Indeed 💯
Her on brandy's remix of I Wanna Be Down...bruhhhh
At least once a week!!
This Black Woman KNOWS whose shoulders she's standing on: Billy Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitgerald, Etta James, Eartha Kitt, Carmen McRae, Nancy Wilson, Roberta Flack, Dinah Washington, Chaka Khan, Minnie Riperton, and the late, immensely great Nina SImone, just to name a few.
Don't forget Glenn Goins of Parliament .... He still has the best live performance of " Swing Down Sweet Chariot " ....
Y'ALL BETTS PREACH ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Standing on their shoulders, yet also a peer in her own right.
....and Marlena Shaw too!
Say it again! Greatness!
Am I the only one that keeps coming back to watch this? Damn Badu is a beast. I don't even think the crowd realizes how sick this performance really is. Today's wanna be artist need to take notes.
Almost everyday. I work out to the "I want you" song lol
I honestly have no idea how many times I watched this. Has to be 30+
Meat Mane your a dumbass because all the song she did were her classic. She didn’t do anything new in this performance. Know what you’re talking about before you spread ignorance
William Wells you’re not alone sir!!
The crowd was LOST on the pure genius before them. They was too chill for me - LOL
Yesss so true
thats called a Jam session...the ancestors approve.
Queen Erykah Badu in her 8th Element!
@@jesusisking120 then don’t listen to her 🤣
@@jesusisking120 okay..... but what did you gain here🌝???
@@jesusisking120 and that's why the freak spirit says u said that then but u know and feel different now so apologize and if not I got something to tell you
@@laurynsvibezzz4178 well did you or you couldn't comprehend her either
I want all the smoke to the igsssss
The back up singers are on a point..those vocals.
Charmaine Harris yes they did that
THE Durand Bernarr of course! I know that damn voice anywhere!
Periodt
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
NoxiousSubstance that voice and that earring 😂
Black culture is so creative & talented I thank GOD for how gifted we are 🙌🏽❤️
Don't forget your natural God given gift too Enheritance. Give yourself credit.
Yeah....we have so much feeling, struggle and soul in our music. The most hated people on the planet earth but we continue to press forward!!!

@@zagibohls7631 Stop trolling and get yourself a life
Low Life you can go be a lowlife somewhere else sweetie
Been here for 3 years 🥂
1. One of the best live performers in the game.
2. The house band is MURDERING!
I LOVE seeing black people having a good ole' funky time in the audience
WOW!
It be joyful and full of energy.
Me too
People
Too much sauce!
That RANGE she is a LIVE Singer
Right
🗣️ FULLY CLOTHED YOUNG ARTISTS.... FULLY CLOTHED 💅🏾
So even within an old white lady like me (59), Queen Erykah has always spoken into my soul. She awakens the spirit of authenticity cultural norms do there best to suppress.
I'm 36, have loved Erykah for years!
Your comment was so spot on. I just feel differently when I hear her music-as if I’m being transported to another dimension.
Music is universal and music was bomb back then 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. You free up in the most fun time of music! I'm 12 years younger and OMG my mom looked like she was having a ball.... So you are going at ❤️ and badu is a Force!!!
U not old honey.just seasoned.🙏🙏🙏👍👍
@Sharon
I'm 49 and I've been dreaming of seeing Badu perform live since the '90s when I first fell in love with her live album. This Friday I finally get to do it, and I'm more than happy to do a 3 hour drive just to get there. She's one of the few artists who still makes me feel the same enthusiasm for music as I did as a teenager. So damned excited!!!
We pretending like she don't have Chaka Khan like vocals,.... wrapped up in Billie Holiday isms with HIP HOP flare. This woman is G.O.A.T.
Speak
True indeed!
You should check out her performance tribute to chaka khan at the 2013 BET honors 🎖😀
PREACH ✨🙏💞🙏✨
I really appreciate this description lol
Those back up singers slayed as hard as Erykah did, DAMN!
yesssssss not playing with noboy....
They was on it 100%
Yes they did that
yes they diddddd, thats how you do it!!
By the way, do you know, a back vocalist standing in the centre is Jon Mero??
even though Durand was her backup singer i was cheering him on like I was Cheering On Erykah😩 they need to produce an album together🤧
"Sza can you hear me when I tell you I UNDERSTAND 🎶🎶" - Badu👑
Shout to the new BET staff ... y’all almost lost us 😂
The TWA LIFE I been looking for this upload since it aired! About time!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
How perfect is this comment?!🤣🤣🤣
The TWA LIFE darn u beautiful how you doing
They don’t make em like this no more!!
EXCATLY
But they never made anybody else like Erykah Badu. she is her own person. Along with the young amazing vocalist in gen z they are their own person.
iman bell I meant artist like her......the d angelos, angie stones and and Jill Scots.....neon soul
Silky smooth2000 and they never will sadly to say
Have you heard her sing with her children? She got the kids on point
there's poetry, groove, lots of fun and tons of soul from erykah. it's 2023 and this piece is timeless music.
I remember 8years ago talking with my ex manager about how great we both thought Erykah was...1.5 yrs later my Manager died. Something I will always cherish is our bonding moments over Ms.Badu ☺😇 R.I.P Lorraine
Erykah is the bridge between soul and hiphop! She is a big part of our music develpment. And man what a show, pffff!
*REAL Hip-Hop has ALWAYS been full of soul.*
Just that sadly, this new crap that they LABEL as HipHop is soul-destroying.
@@TubeBoober I bet Cardi B nd others can't copy sis shit it's too uuhhhhh...MELANATED👊🏿🎧🎤🎵🎼🎶🥁🎶🎹
A lil jazz
After this performance, she is the bridge between soul and another galaxy! I do believe we just located Marvin Gayes "Funky Space Reincarnation".
That ladies and gentlemen... is MOTHER! 😭😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Say it louder!!!!
@ Ven your mother and definitely not mine.
@Ven ..Facts.💥💥
YEEESSS YES YES!!!! DAMMIT
YES!!! Motha!!!!!! 🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾❤️
There is no competition
When there are NONE to compare!!
UNAPPOLOGETICALLY SO!!
The transition from tyrone to the other side of the game gave me goosebump. Really. Y'all feel it too?
Badu is a national treasure and must be protected by all cost 💪👑🙇🏽
She's more than that, she's the 8th wonder of the world! ^_^
more like galactic
She is a unique treasure of your nation, luckily there are many nations... What a wonderful world!
Respect
Agreed
She is so refreshing because her music is 100% original and is powerful.
Yes..and I hope to hear more airplay from her besides her older songs.
Agree, real artist
18:08 im sure that aint her music
@@Isiah_N Sorry dude. Everything is hers. You have to understand arrangements in music.
@@ladyluck7481 must of herd it resampled. Could you give me the link to original track? I'm a producer I know about arrangement lol thanks
Aside from being my favorite artist, she really changed culture for black woman. From fashion to slang, I stand in awe of her. This was incredible.
I’m not the only person who listens to this everyday right
These are the moments that make you realize just how great it is to simply be black.
You better know it! This "magic" can't be erased, imitated, duplicated or recreated. It simply is what it is. 😎
CAN YOU SAY BLACK GIRL MAGIC... SHE'S MY FELLOW PISCES💝... MARCH 5TH HERE‼💞💞
YES! Drinking it in with this performance.
Makes my heart full
There are lots of beautiful black people in this world. Thankful for their kind souls ❤️
So unashamedly comfortable and empowered by her blackness... this woman is the embodiment of soul. Welcome to masterclass.
Oooooooooooooh! "Say That"!! 👑💪🔥☺😃❤
@Coleman. You wrote the truth so eloquently .
@@carmenredman407 As someone who is not black I can still appreciate this is the absolute height of the artform.
Black or any other, she is so talented and gifted. Frankly, she is a gift to us.
Yaassssss a Masterclass!!!
Spring of 2023, as I rewatch this Masterpiece and to see Durand Bernarr singing back up here and to see how his career has taken off is such a JOY. A gifted man who worked with an ethereal 👑.
This woman is UNIQUE ONE AND ONLY....
Don’t let her fool you. She’s thick under those sheets ❤️
Tyrone Hayes dumb ass commit.
Tyrone Hayes well did you see Window Seat 💺 video? She pretty much showed what she’s working with in the flesh.
Real shit son!!
🤣
She really is though
The saddest part is everything she did is still going to go over 95% of peoples heads
Facts
You should do her justice and explain it for those who may have missed it.
No we all get it that’s why we love her. We are a very smart people.
@@IrresistibleWitch Then why are some people in the culture acting the same way 🙄
Yeah, completely agree man
Erykah is such a natural performer. I feel so relaxed when she performs, its out of this world...literally in erykahs case 😂
She can sing in real life seen her live and in full effect she’s a different type of vibe and she gone make you feel it!!!
Erykah Badu is Afro-futurism at its finest!
Eric Pegues Afro-Futurism. I love that.
Afro Futurism... I love that Word Ma Brotha.
Her lyrics are flawless most underrated female MC ever
Indeed
Also, I absolutely love being black. 😭
Right?!? Moments like this make me feel that EXTRA hard.
LOVE LOVE LOVE being BLACK
Team Melenated
AND U KNOW THATS RITE SISTER, PEACE & BLESSINGS
Wow that is really cool!
After more than 2 decades of loving her magic, Erykah still slays, still impresses, and still surprises. Much love and thank you.
Durand voice is so distinctive
Can I ever get tired of this performance? I cannot.
No best performance ever
I Keep Coming Back To This Fyah!!!💥
Riiight! It be on repeat
It’s one of my favorite performances from her. I love everything about her . Especially that we share the same home town. Dallas STANDUP!!!!

Dear young people, This is Artistry, This is Music ✌🏽❤️ EDIT: I thought about deleting my comment, but then I was like really people of earth? I will make it a mission to create a positive online space. I want to share what I wrote to a user who felt offended by my comment, " I'm a youth mentor in my 20's and I always get on my young people (young teens and kids) about the music they listen to, and how they should broaden their range. Glad to read you too appreciate the legacy of artistry Erykah Badu gives us ❤️" Peace & Love to All

When she started the set with "GREEN EYES", I KNEW IT WAS ABOUT TO GO DOWN...🙏🏿🙌🏿🙏🏿
Exactly that’s one of my favs of her’s 🥰👏🏾❤️
Yeah! Watching from Zimbabwe!
YESS 💚💚💚💚
She has always been a trendsetter. ..loving the look...With the hat...no nudity necessary..QUEEN...
David Ramos : She is just being an Original of this land...and left the false myth behind a long while ago.
She too grown to be walking around naked tho. She got a grown son too. But she know what we here for too tho 🤗
Nothing wrong with nudity. Grow up. Did you not see her Window seat video?
@@kissit012 there was a message in the video not for her just being nude.
This is an old musical soul. Period. Just a classic singer.
I love how Badu plays and experiments with her sound. a confident queen.
It’s not necessarily a matter of having an old soul. She just sings soul music and jazz. Those genres are thriving today. Mainstream R&B is almost a different genre e firefly
Still watching this on the regular....
She's not from this planet. She's from another world.
The background singers tore it up at the end......i love how she let them be great. They kilt this performance
Yes they slept on
Yes 🙌🏾 they were fantastic
thats cuz mr Durand was there
@@em.5941 I came here just to make sure that's who that was. Yes!
They were AWESOME!!!!! they have so much respect for her, you can see it on their faces!
Erykah Badu is amazing. She was a pioneer of Neo Soul and continues to be great.
lets be honest in this generation who can perform like this and make us feel proud to have that skin? give me 5 names
You gotta have the 'stank' face when you listen to this.....
11:07 like a boss! Lol
I did the whole time! 😄
Swear I just told my Boyfriend this while watching this.
I didnt even realize I was making it until my 12yr old daughter asked me Daddy why you makin that face? lolol
Aint nothing like some Erykah Badu stank! Dat shit stank like a mufuka!!
WHEN SHE DID THAT TWIRL I FELT THAT. go head with your free soul erykah!
I loved the twirl too♡♡♡
It also reminded me of Mahogany!
I love creative free souls and independent thinkers♡♡♡
2023 still here !!!!!!
I cannot believe i don't need to pay to watch this. this is criminally good
1. Green Eyes
2. I WANT YOU

I'm 63 and just heard about Ms Badu about a year ago. Crazy right? But the deal is I could play this over and over all day which I do sometimes. I dooo get it.
The amount of times I've watched this is unhealthy
