Wow, fantasia really delivered it. She didn't get intimidated by a super diva. She rose up to the challenge and it produces a super performance. Keep it up!!
Fantasia is Wonderful, she is very respectable because she gave props to the Diva. Fantasia can sing rings around a lot of today's female artist. Keep up the great work Fantasia. I voted so much for her on American Idol.
Chaka is a really fearless sanger. She started off by singing low n behind the beat, giving it a bluesy feel. Tasia then followed it with an energetic singing. Later on the second verse Chaka kicked off with a very high note(which is unconventional but actually a correct note n harmonics) and its just out of this world. N she kept on going singing real high on that verse till finish lol. N the way she harmonizes with Tasia towards the end was really awesome. N not to mention her voice sounded like an instrument throughout. What an outstanding talent haha
I SMILED THE WHOLE TIME!! Music is a language of the highest form, and as a Singer, this discussion, between two of the best singers ever, was a conversation I enjoyed listening to. And wish i could have been apart of. AMAZING
Chaka is a legend. She is passing the torch. Someday Fantasia will pass the torch on to someone else. You can tell that Chaka respects Fantasia as an artist and that is a huge compliment. You are witnessing history.
Thank you! People are always going to test her to see if she still got it. Whether it's her duet partner or the musicians planing behind her, to see if her voice can still rise above those instruments. Time after time Chaka has proven that her voice can rise above anybody and can cut through anything and anybody. If don't nobody stick up for her I will always for all eternity! On my life and salvation.
At One Point, 5:23 to be exact, Chaka Khan's voice sounded like a pure Saxophone. The epitome of using your voice as an instrument. It takes a fine ear to understand this type of vocal layering. Amazing
I see the reviews are mixed but I loved Chaka on this. It's sooo funky and irreverent. So raw. Fantasia was brilliant as well. I remember when it first aired online I watched it repeatedly to memorize it bc I knew it would be taken down. Nice to see it again all these years later. Thanx for sharing!
Oh Yes, I caught that. That is what great singers do. They are always creating and pushing the limits; always spontaneous and never predictable. They are constantly breathing new life into what ever is lifeless.
Chaka was into drugs a long time ago and people still judge her. Those who judge her think THEY are perfect. Chaka on the other hand has THEE perfect voice. Go on girl!
I love Fantasia,she showed Chaka so much respect,Fantasia could have just went on head and blew Chaka out the water ,but Fantasia held back out of respect!!!!!
Chaka got a standing ovation when she came out. That is why at that time she had 8 Grammy's (I believe she has more now). That is why Fantasia said "I can't do nothing with Chaka," 'cuz she was being upstaged! Chaka has a great range and that is why she rocks!
Chaka don't need to go all the way up there here....since Fantasia does a great version of this classic she brought it back to life....loads of passion in her version...Khan is very jazzy...like a trumpet...piercing voice....but a diva of longevity for sure....:-)
To God Be the Glory Right Here!! This right here is a Miracle in the Midst.. Chaka is alive and able to appreciate artists like "Fantasia"! Fantasia is in whole a Tribute in herself to Chaka Khan! Not a Threat.. She emulates (Fan.) her, many have tried.. Fantasia has arrived and it is beautiful! PCSLM55 is right! Trailblazers light the path so "Fantasia's" can come forth.. somebody has got to keep it going.. Be Happy for them both! They are Master Pieces!
Yes she has. She has so much, and went through alot that she could do some off key performances every once in awhile. Patti Labelle told Ricky Smiley in an intreview that, "Women like Herself, Chaka Khan and others, just get on stage and do the damn thing, and not worry about what the audience will say about them or think, and they just give it. It is what it is" Them were her exact words, so Chaka doesn't have nothing to lose.
why is everyone talking about Chaka, that's my girl for over 30 years but did anyone hear the young one holding up the stage in song? You betta sang Fantasia!
the LIKE button doesn't do justice ... where is the ADORE button? or INFATUATED button ? or POSSESSED button ?? THIS RIGHT HERE is what music is all about.
Chaka actually really played in this performance. I think she had a little something to drink plus it was a party so she probably just didn’t really care to try and “prove” herself with a newbie like Fantasia because she was already a LEGEND lol. Fantasia MURDERED this song as she does everything else! But if you really wanna see an amazing performance by Chaka watch the one of her at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1993 performing this song “Summertime”!! Chaka literally demolished and OWNED this song! It’s actually one of her favorite songs to sing.🖤
lol i was waiting for someone to point that out.. i know chaka is a legend.. but doing a duet with a sanger like tasia, you would think she would step her game up..
@@TemujinScott80 Facts. She's using her voice as an instrument, and she STILL literally has the perfect voice. Some people listen to music, but they can't hear it.
Yeah, she is always just herself. I have been following her since the early 80s, and through all that time she has never once done a wannabe. She doesn't need 'to be' as she already 'is' herself. Too bad that some people feel embarrassed by her performance here, but I actually liked it. I love how she smiles, she makes-up with FB, etc. She is lovely even when high, how many of us can boast of that?
Honestly, after reading all the comments, I was expecting something really terrible from Chaka, but all I got was this wonderful artiste completely having a ball. I think that her joy was infectious and I loved how she was just giving in to all that went on with her. I liked it. Rather, as live performances go, I loved it. I got a glimpse into them both. Could I ask for more? Loved the ending bit too.
Chaka is a beast!!! Her effortless dopeness always puts a bigger smile on my face than her own..... Those notes are still clear and fresh... almost like a horn insrument...Good Post. I'm inspired
Chaka is gonna ALWAYS be that singer that delivers in different ways like the "character" she "media portrays", which is smile big with big pretty teeth, "shady this is what I REALLY mean eyes" & depending on the day, the voice matches the smile or those eyes, & when SHE WANTS (not when we want), it matches BOTH. ON this day, she's OBVIOUSLY CONtracted to be brought up, & more into letting Tasia sang. And "CONtracted" means one has to deliver something, & in front of an audience of many of her contemporaries she was comfortable enuf to give the "eyes voice", meaning, "I'm just gonna try some stuff here on this 2nd verse", & went for a load of "trumpet notes", that, if the mic wasn't going in & out, she ACTUALLY hit very well; nice, loud, & brassy. Tasia was great!!!!!!! BUT, at chaka's age, all the hits, awards, & drug use & all that came with that...chick ain't thinking about a negative comment from anyone that can't sang near her, that's like Micheal Jordan caring about people counting all the free throws or not he made, and they can't even dribble a ball; it won't move a hair on his bald head. 😂 😂
Actually, I am a true fan of both Chaka and Fantasia. Each of them are to be respected for their gifts, yes I said GIFTS. The both of their voices are gifts from GOD! I 'm seeking approval for this comment and you do not have to agree with because its a true fact. Therefore, this performance to me was very good on both parts, for me neither of them can do no wrong, I love and respect them both. Always a Chaka Fan forever!!!!!
i am listening to jazz everyday of m life and i have never seen an jazz singer belting high notes to that extent!!!!and from whom?from an rnb,soul artist...chaka made me to love jazz a little bit more...she has a great talent in that field,and of course plety of time to improvise on that!!!
attention all fans of fantasia please request her new single "im doing me" on your local radio station so we can help her on the charts so please all true fantasia please support so we can make this number one
everybody dont miss fantasia live in concert at the robinson center in little rock arkansas on sept 14 tickets are on sale now so dont miss cause she is incredible live
Only fantasia can hang with the old school! Damn!
Honestly she is really the only Sanger that can be put on stage with Patti Chaka Aretha and hold her own and be respectful but not get punked
Fantasia is one of the few FIERCE singers of her generation! She is truly gifted!
I've always said that Fantasia is a performer's performer.
Wow, fantasia really delivered it. She didn't get intimidated by a super diva. She rose up to the challenge and it produces a super performance. Keep it up!!
Chaka Khan is a rock star, this was amazing.. her ad libs and styling cant be messed with period... a legend
MAN i love when CHAKA uses her voice as an instrument. Beautiful!!! they don't make like this anymore.
Chaka Kan was entertaining especially on her second verse. Fantasia as always that voice is amazing
Chaka Khan Is So Pretty ♥
This Version really gives a different touch with a classy soul jazz indeed a great Twist for "Summertime" Great job for the two wonderful Ladies...
This is frickin amazing!! Fantasia's grit is unreal and Chaka's voice is legendary. I love the harmonizing at the end!!
Fantasia is Wonderful, she is very respectable because she gave props to the Diva. Fantasia can sing rings around a lot of today's female artist. Keep up the great work Fantasia. I voted so much for her on American Idol.
fantasia represented!.....it aint easy to deal with chaka and all that range!
Chaka's on another planet I think lol
CHAKA KHAN was drunk but with RESPECT she's nothin2 prove LOVE HER! All kisses 2FANTASIA
Fantasia rocked this song. The pairing of her and Chaka was good. Would love to see Fantasia and Patti Labelle together.
Chaka is a really fearless sanger. She started off by singing low n behind the beat, giving it a bluesy feel. Tasia then followed it with an energetic singing. Later on the second verse Chaka kicked off with a very high note(which is unconventional but actually a correct note n harmonics) and its just out of this world.

*Damn, there was so much funk in this video I had to open up all my Microsoft windows!*
my PC is still in the shop. LOL
***** SMILES>_
😂😂😂😂
+Anthony Rizzo LMAO love your comment..me too lol
Fantasia really gave this song the BUSINESS!!1 Props to her..
Over the years pass, the voice of Chaca gets more beautiful!!!!!!!
Lmao!!
Two phenomenal female vocalists!!! I love live performances that show real, true talent!
i would appreciate the opportunity to sing mary had a little lamb with either of these ladies; they are both a rare breed
There's a reason why she won 'Idol', folks. Not many can keep it real with Lady Khan.
Superb!
I SMILED THE WHOLE TIME!! Music is a language of the highest form, and as a Singer, this discussion, between two of the best singers ever, was a conversation I enjoyed listening to. And wish i could have been apart of. AMAZING
fantasia and ledisi are the 2 young girls that are the baby version of mama Patti and Chaka you better sang
Chaka is a legend. She is passing the torch. Someday Fantasia will pass the torch on to someone else. You can tell that Chaka respects Fantasia as an artist and that is a huge compliment. You are witnessing history.

I dont care what song fantasia sang she going make you feel it in your soul
This Duet is way way way Beyond Just Beautiful ❤️
whooooo..chaka khan is a vocal beast!!! this woman's technique's just awesome!!!! love her!!
I see the reviews are mixed but I loved Chaka on this. It's sooo funky and irreverent. So raw. Fantasia was brilliant as well. I remember when it first aired online I watched it repeatedly to memorize it bc I knew it would be taken down. Nice to see it again all these years later. Thanx for sharing!
Both exude talent and confidence. One of my favorite live performances of any song.
OH MY GOD! I have no words! Brilliant doesn't even cover it. They bared their souls for the universe, and it was .... no words... no words..
thats jazz for you.. brilliant!
Mama Chaka like I paid my dues! lol
Oh Yes, I caught that. That is what great singers do. They are always creating and pushing the limits; always spontaneous and never predictable. They are constantly breathing new life into what ever is lifeless.
Chaka has been rocking since at least 1974. This is March 2008. She can improvise anytime she wants to! Rock on Sweet Thang.
Chaka was into drugs a long time ago and people still judge her. Those who judge her think THEY are perfect. Chaka on the other hand has THEE perfect voice. Go on girl!
i don't care what she's going through but chaka is a legend and no matter how much drugs she's taking, she still sings great.
I love Fantasia,she showed Chaka so much respect,Fantasia could have just went on head and blew Chaka out the water ,but Fantasia held back out of respect!!!!!
Tarrence Burns you sleep! I love tasia but she can’t touch Chaka
She could that night because Chaka was drunk and high @@debriante20
losgreensboro gboro 😂😂😂I’m dead most definitely 😂😂
losgreensboro gboro nope
I like Fantasia, but sometimes she screams and yells to much. Just sing the song without all the extra.
I haven't heard singing like that in a long time.
Chaka got a standing ovation when she came out. That is why at that time she had 8 Grammy's (I believe she has more now). That is why Fantasia said "I can't do nothing with Chaka," 'cuz she was being upstaged! Chaka has a great range and that is why she rocks!

This is a Clive Davis event. Fantasia was on his label. Mike going out or low on Chaka no accident.
Tasia Making me Wanna Return To The MIC and Start back singing again...What a gift she has.......lovin it
Go for it. !! 🙏💕
To God Be the Glory Right Here!! This right here is a Miracle in the Midst.. Chaka is alive and able to appreciate artists like "Fantasia"! Fantasia is in whole a Tribute in herself to Chaka Khan! Not a Threat.. She emulates (Fan.) her, many have tried.. Fantasia has arrived and it is beautiful! PCSLM55 is right! Trailblazers light the path so "Fantasia's" can come forth.. somebody has got to keep it going.. Be Happy for them both! They are Master Pieces!
I'll take a high Chaka over sober others.
Hahahahaha 🤭🤭🤭
Loo, they gonna make me throw a shoe! I love them so much!
Yes she has. She has so much, and went through alot that she could do some off key performances every once in awhile. Patti Labelle told Ricky Smiley in an intreview that, "Women like Herself, Chaka Khan and others, just get on stage and do the damn thing, and not worry about what the audience will say about them or think, and they just give it. It is what it is" Them were her exact words, so Chaka doesn't have nothing to lose.
sweetness and joy , full marks to both
Fanni is one of the greatest singer of this time .right now,!!!
Very TRUE! Obviously the closer the mic is to your mouth, the louder you sound.
why is everyone talking about Chaka, that's my girl for over 30 years but did anyone hear the young one holding up the stage in song?
You betta sang Fantasia!
the LIKE button doesn't do justice ... where is the ADORE button? or INFATUATED button ? or POSSESSED button ?? THIS RIGHT HERE is what music is all about.
Only one Chaka.......
Here in 2020 appreciating Tasia’s raw vocal ability. ❤️
Divas...both of them...and they will do what they do...the rest of us...we spectate...and hopefully appreciate...
That ending went straight to church, all the way to the piano softly playing lol!
I LUV DIS SONG. thanx 4 uploading.
speechless. absolutely love these divas.
chaka was just shouting all the time and i still love her.
Fantasia put her foot all up in this!!! Much respect to Chaka, jazzed it on up!!
I liked this. Thankyou. Sounds great.
i agree with you. that wasn't messing up... that was art in singing.
OMG! The power of THE Chaka is too powerful.
Chaka actually really played in this performance. I think she had a little something to drink plus it was a party so she probably just didn’t really care to try and “prove” herself with a newbie like Fantasia because she was already a LEGEND lol. Fantasia MURDERED this song as she does everything else!

Chaka literally demolished and OWNED this song! It’s actually one of her favorite songs to sing.🖤
I love this video, classic old school style**
OMG this song i love so much..i sing it to my girls...i cry everytime i sing it...
When Chaka comes in at 4:43, I get instant chills!
Chaka missed all the words in that 2nd verse she just screamed and was tryna scat,,,,,but ill give it an 8......Tasia was flawless
lol i was waiting for someone to point that out.. i know chaka is a legend.. but doing a duet with a sanger like tasia, you would think she would step her game up..
Reginald Evans LOLOLOL
Chaka doesn’t need to step anything up...
Evans's
@@TemujinScott80 Facts. She's using her voice as an instrument, and she STILL literally has the perfect voice. Some people listen to music, but they can't hear it.
I love them both on this. So old school and hectic and bold.

attention all fans please go and request fantasia new single "bittersweet" on your local radios or buy it on itunes so we can help her on the charts
fantasia the bomb
You have to admit. Chaka's high note at 3:06-3:08 sounds much like a horn. What GREAT! instrument she has.
Chaka musical ear is crazy, her harmony was so on point.
go fantasia!!!!!!!
I LOve Both These Great Singers :)
Honestly, after reading all the comments, I was expecting something really terrible from Chaka, but all I got was this wonderful artiste completely having a ball.

The band improvised. Had to follow.

I LOVE this video. Chaka sings her ass off in this. I don't care what anyone says..she put the hurt on this song in a way no one could
