Chaka disappointed and embarrassed herself.however her music catalog is still one of the greatest and her voice and high notes are still iconic,Regardless of the bad show.Her manager should be fired .Hats off to Stephanie mills another legendary vocal queen.This is first versus I seen someone sing theirs and opponents songs😂😂😂😂We still love Chaka khan till the end!
I love the sister love that Stephanie showed. She was not gonna let her sister look bad. I love Stephanie she is a true performer. She comes to NJ in the summer to do shows in the park and it’s ALWAYS AMAZING. Chaka still got her voice, but I feel whoever she has around her is not for her good. Family, friend or foe.
I agree with you solely Stephanie Mills looked out for her musical sister and she knew that her sister was in need created drunk or whatever and she looked out for her I love that that was the best part of the whole show took care of her sister
She doesn't need my pass. She knew she was lit before she hit the stage and that she almost did too. She was very unprofessional. Stephanie held her up literally. And THAT was a professional.
@@coltanddj I'm not being disrespectful but age range are you in. 70's 80's 90's or 00's .I am asking so I can understand your words. I don't completely disagree with you but there are many factors to understand Chaka. Chaka comes from a family of addiction, she has been fighting her demons for a long time. She has been admitted to using suga booga, pills and alcohol. I'm in no way giving her excuses. We all know that she might be late, not remember the words to some songs, possibly high, drunk or both. She doesn't do certain songs because it takes her to a dark place in her life. I'm a late 70's baby and my step-dad played drums for many people off and on until he passed on. I remember being around certain things as a child seeing certain things coming from different artists.
She should have not accepted the Verzuz challenge. Chaka and l are the same age. I know a lot about her. But she wasn't ready and she shouldn't have showed up to show out like that. Cut Stephanie the WHOLE check.
@@coltanddj I agree with you, Chaka from the past is not Chaka today. We're not going to get a performance like we seen in videos. She should have never let the people to bully her into this because it's for the culture. I pray she doesn't let this situation send her into a drug binge 🙏 . We the fans and audience need to do a better job in protecting our own. Imagine coming into the business at 16 and you are alone. Being around way too much way too soon and not the right people to guide you.
Chaka Khan is such a part of our history. Her music is the tapestry of Our Lives. I just don't know why she can't stop sabotaging herself. She looks amazing her voice is still there. But it's just hard for her to stay on the straight and narrow. Stephanie Mills is what you call a true dedicated artist. She don't play around when it comes to her music and her purpose. She was a true backbone for the night. She represented true Sisterhood. We're grateful that both of these Legends are still with us. As fans let's pray for a intervention before it's too late.
Considering their age, I'm proud that both ladies are in phenominal shape! The last time I saw Chaka(and that's been some time ago), she was not as small as she is in this video. It is obvious that Chaka is not sober. But she held it together as best she could. I'm sure Stephanie Mills knew something was amiss with Chaka, but rather than exposing it, she powered through it. That shows professionalism, couteousness and respect! Kudos to both of these R & B Legends!
Why did it seem like Stephanie was singing live and Chaka over her tracks? There was this bad layered effect going on with Chaka. More like karaoke. Stephanie looked like a live concert even though both were playing music tracks. They should have made it more even. Ms. Mills slayed. Her rich low notes with the heavy vibrato was hitting hard. Just beautiful, and she was working the stage. And, y'all thought it was an uneven match up. I knew Stephanie would not be playing.
Chaka really need to stop the drugs n booze, she gon fuq around and end up like Whitney and Michael k williams, you know Stephanie don't drink or do drugs so she won regardless. It's just sad, now chaka can sing her ass off drunk, High or whatever but sis messed up the lyrics and just looked a mess. They are both legends but I'm scared for chaka at this point, she been going thru this for soooo many years, one day it's not gonna be a joke, and she might not be able to bounce back prayers to her
All those chaka songs are better than Stephanie's songs but where was chaka? Who was that person singing chaka songs? Smh stop getting high chaka or I will fire you!
Stephanie is the type of friend everyone should have, very supportive, encouraging, and uplifting... She is simply amazing and she put on a great show chaka is great also. I hope she's not sick or anything if not then she needs help, treatment, or intervention...
So sad for CK…. Her manager and team need to be fired… how or why would you let her go on stage in that state. Hats off to you SM for holding it down for you both. Prayers for you CK.
exactly she relapsed so sad now she was speaking on tonight when whitney passed y’all ppl behind CK get ya shit right don’t let you go out that way!! somebody step in frfr
Chaka has a Diva attitude. That team could not have stopped her. They may have tried and most likely cussed everyone out. Apparently she didn't think anything was wrong till she had to change her shoes and shimmy through those lyrics. I love her too but Stephanie saved the entire set. And Chaka ended it with F#$k this s$%t.
Something is going on with Chaka Khan.. Chaka Khan definitely has the better voice, but didn't show it tonight.... I love them both and they both looked great...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your not following instructions. They said it wasn't a stupid competition. Saying someone has a "better" voice is making it just that. Besides, there is no truth to it.
BLESSINGS MR. SWOOPES & CHAT !!! I SINCERELY LOVED THIS VZ & THESE QUEENS !!! DAMN ALL THE NEGATIVITY !!!THEY RIGHTFULLY DESERVE EVERY SINGLE COCKTAIL 🍸 FOR EVERY SINGLE YEAR THEY BROUGHT US JOY & HELPED US THROUGH THE PAIN !!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
If you go to a Chaka Khan concert in the past she has on many occasions been somewhat intoxicated she also has a problem sometimes remembering the lyrics to her own songs Stephanie Mills on the other hand in many instances does sound absolutely awesome. My only complaint with Stephanie Mills when I saw her live her shows performance was excellent but very very short. One other thing about Stephanie Mills was I was really surprised about how short she is.
Glad to hear that, man. So sorry for your loss. I got hooked on these videos awhile ago. Realized he hadn’t posted in a long time so I went to seek him out and check on him. Looking forward to seeing his visions come to fruition. God bless…
Two Grand Diva's, and I have all of there albums/and whatever is on cd's. Loved Chaka when she fronted for Rufus, featuring Chaka Khan. At times Chaka is a hit/miss in concerts, from being way to high, but she is still one of rb's greatest female artist. As for Stephanie, she is always on her "A" game. Saw Stephanie in Philly in the mid 80's, she blew me away. Stephanie's "I Feel Good All Over" can't be duplicated.
If you are seeing this, then let it be known that TERRY SWOOPE has passed away in the month of January 2022. He will be missed greatly for his content and voice-overs. Rest In Peace Terry Swoope😞
Stephanie delivered, I love her energy. Was really surprised about Chaka wasn't expecting her state. Didn't she see how crazy Keith Sweat looked on that stage drug. But Keith did sound good. I've seen Chaka live and she can sing without a mic too a large crowd that much power in her voice. But only some of her riffs were good. At times she sounded like drunk karaoke. Her catalog was hitting though.
Here's a dream verses, Kool and the Gang vs Frankie Beverly & Maze. And damn, I can't agree with you more bout what you said about radio today. Mumble rap is destroying the airwaves. Unless it's an old skool radio show then I ain't listening to the radio. Such a shame
No idea what Chaka was on, hopefully she was just drunk. And hopefully she’ll take care of herself cause I kind of worry for her. I’m a huge fan of both of them and Stephanie was amazing, both her singing and the way she had Chaka’s back. And although I’m somewhat worried that Chaka was on some kinda drugs I don’t think it’s impossible that it was just the booze, sometimes you drink too much too fast and then it suddenly takes over, especially if you didn’t eat enough. Same thing goes for weed. Hope that it’s nothing else and that we’ll see the Chaka we know performing on some stage again soon!
I grew up in the 70s and these 2 women were hot, I seen Chaka at the Chicago Fest in the late 70s, and sad to say she was high than too.. However; I think Stephanie Mills handled the entire situation very well, and the 2 of them look fabulous.
Facts about the r&b and the B's mumble rap and real music. All we know about is hating, killing and sex. Having emotions, not being toxic or a selfish a hole is seen as lame. Folks other people especially don't understand how to care for or understand others. It's sad
Terry I can always count on you BROTHER to speak POSITIVELY ABOUT BLACK WOMEN. Thank you BROTHER for STAYING "ON CODE" AND UPLIFTING BLACK WOMEN. Other cultures of men do the same for their women as well. I love it when BLACK MEN AND BLACK WOMEN COME TOGETHER AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER. BLACK FIRST. ALWAYS AND FOREVER. 🖤✊
Unfortunately she is not going to be... .she probably got up...tooted some more of that stuff.. poured herself a stiff one and had a few laughs while watching the playback. Substance abusers and drunks are never embarrassed at their behavior.
Any number of Divas would have loved to be onstage. Chaka was definitely high on something and should have passed. I've seen her IG Lives recently and she is amazing when sober. She did us no favors stumbling and slurring last night.
I WILL LOVE THESE LADIES' AND THEIR MUSIC TILL THE END OF TIME,THEY LOOK AMAZING,MANY PRAYERS GO OUT TO CHAKA KHAN THOUGH,SHE DID LOOK A LIL TOO "OUTTA HERE"🙏.....THANKS MR SWOOPE👍
I liked this Verzuz but Chaka's "state" of being made it hard sometimes. I admired Stephanie's professionalism to lend her "shoulder" to Chaka when needed. Both of these ladies made their mark and don't have to prove anything to me! I think Melba Moore or someone else as accomplished would have been a better fit though because Chaka was a little out of it. I also agree that tradional r&b music has been pushed aside by today's "black" music scene and I wish it was more inclusive tom accept r&b as well.
Give Chaka a break, she’s 68 years old with that check! She might be sick for all we know! Her realness was enough for me, she showed up! And half these singers can’t do her songs…stop judging people… I’m happy she’s still here with us!
We seen it from the moment she walked out. We all knew something was wrong. This was Stephanie vs Mills cause she had to sing Chaka songs just to carry her 🤦♂️. I thought Chaka was gone fall at times. She was forgetting the words 😩
I'm a bigger Chaka Khan's fan but your right she seems she had a little too much to drink, hope it's not a health condition like ms which can cause slurring of speech as well as difficulty walking and balancing.
I agree with the message of getting r&b back on black radio but we can't shit on the current shit by calling it "trash" because it comes off like bitter old head talk. Mumble rap has it's place but the radio definitely oversaturates us with it. And it sucks because there's still GOOD r&b out there but it gets buried under Migos, future ECT.
Both of them still look amazingly beautiful! And Stephanie Mills is right. Mumble rap is awful and doesn’t show any talent. It is bad. There is nothing like the sound, writing, and power of traditional R & B, especially like Motown and the 90s in my opinion.
Stephanie is my girl. She's on play and repeat whenever I put on her music. On another note, some of you are going after Chaka the same way you all did Chadwick. I thought Chadwick would have been a lesson and example for some of you after he died, not to be to quick to judge. I guess I was wrong. Some of you are so disrespectful. This woman is black excellence and black magic, 68 years old. You all need to stop!
Yes Chaka is great but you have to be mindful of your audience, we only see what you show us, black excellence and black magic yes, be that role model and what you do behind closed doors is totally up to you, now personally, if I had paid to see this performance, I would have asked for my money back based on Chaka's stage presence and if she's high, yes I would base it on that as well. Always wishing a sober Chaka.
The show was good but Stephanie Mills never drink Stephanie Mills never smoked and Stephanie Mills never did drugs people when you do all that stuff in your youth it will show as you get older. Maybe Chaka Khan was having trouble with her heart and it had nothing to do with her drinking. But the show overall was very entertaining. And I think Shaka was a little shocked that Stephanie did that well. But Stephanie has Broadway experience. And that makes a big difference of the performer. Stephanie did not have to hit no high note don't nobody do low notes like she do.
I love them both and Stephanie voice and energy is flawless. Chaka was giving high vibes and didn't seem as bubbly or feisty as usual. Stephanie was being supportive to Chaka while totally blowing her out the water
TSV, I was going to send you an email but I wasn't sure if you would have gotten it. I hope you are getting better and arising from the COVID that you have. We are still here for you brother and hoping for your safe and speedy recovery!
Both women looked amazing, Chaka was just High as Hell, Stephanie was Stephanie as usual, If Chaka was sober it would have made for a much more musical display
Terry you and Ms. Stephanie Mills is definitely CORRECT LOVE 😘.....We need to take back OUR BLACK MUSIC 🎵🎶.......away from the NON-BLACK CULTURES who are CULTURE VULTURES......WE BLACK HERE WE CREATED THIS SH*T......WE NEED TO CONTROL OUR HISTORY BETTER IN BLACK SOCIETY ......HELL ....WE CREATED ROCK AND R&B. FACTS. 💪💯✊
Terry you're Absolutely Right, both these women I've been to their concerts in the day and Chaka is High, same thing when I seen her smoking weed on stage. Unfortunately there's a Moral compass problem in America. Good video reporting
Stephanie Mills and Chaka Khan have always been my two favorites!!! And always will be!! I hope Chaka is okay!! And rhythm and blues should have never been left out of Black radio!!!
I haven't seen the Chaka Khan versus Stephanie Mills battle. But I look forward to watching the battle soon. More than the last 45 plus years, Chaka has had a broader impact on overall success than Stephanie. We have to consider her feature vocals for Rufus with hits such as "Tell me something Good, "Stay," "Everlasting Love," "Ain't Nobody," and the Iconic "Sweet Love," to name a few. According to Billboard magazine, Chaka remains one of the top 25 most influential female artists of all time. I encourage you guys to listen to some of Chaka's live performances from years ago. Especially at Montreux Jazz Festival. Now, 30 years ago, Stephanie would have had a stronger challenge from Chaka. With age and abuse issues, Chaka's vocal gift has taken a drastic hit. Hence, Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston vocals suffer because of smoking cigarettes or other contributing issues. Now, that is not minimalized by Stephanie's vocal gifts. I believe Chaka and Stephanie are about the same age. But I believe Stephanie took care of herself better than Chaka. Stephanie still has it. Stephanie's iconic song, "Home," is a cultural classic. I love them both. It's just I would instead witness this battle in their primes.
Is it only our community that has Verzuz? I've never seen this mechanism of DIVIDE in another genre. (Me vs them) and from reading the comments we jump right on it 🤔
Stephanie is so beautiful inside i know of her she was never my friend because of the business she had so much respect for Chaka and that just made her so beautiful to me i am her number one fan since we were little girls in church
@@TerrySwoopeVideos i did not grow up with her i seen her in church only she was a star and had no time for making friends and no time for church either
I watched the show it looked like to me chaka khan was high as kite? And when I saw chaka khan that outfit didn't really become her and those heels no way. Now stephanie mills did a great job as well better than chaka khan. And when chaka khan was trying to sang every lasting love? Chaka Khan don't have that voice like she use to when she sang back in the day. Stephanie Mills you were definitely just beautiful and truly amazing.
Lets start a Afrikan family petition of intervention in order to get the help that our beloved Sista Chaka needs before its too late. I am tired if us sitting by and seeing the involuntary suicide of famous members our Global Afrikan families just because they too sick to help themselves Go to 3:58 to see our beloved Sista Stephanie Mills big up her son after covering for our beloved drunkass Aunti Chaka singing like he drank and smoked out her lifes savings 👏🏿🤣🙏🏾
Everything he said was a 100% correct! I love Chaka Khan and Stephanie Mills, but Stephanie brought her A game last night. Disappointed in Chaka Khan performance.
They play hip hop R&b like Chris Brown and and Elle Mai that is what it is called today. They don't play grown folks music . They really need to bring that back.
Terry! Just checking up on you brother. You haven’t dropped a video in awhile and I’m a little worried about u. Hope everything is going well for you, but I miss the content you put out. Peace and blessings…
BOTH ladies looked great .Stephanie Mills did her thang! I love Chaka ..she just had a little too much to drink lol. ..I swear Nikki Minaj looks like a younger version of Chaka Khan .
I think the verzuz should have been IMO Stephanie Mills vs. Mickey Howard. They are both r&b artist but Chaka is in a different type of R&b than Chaka. Just my opinion.
Stumbling, slurring words, forgetting her OWN songs....what a MESS Chaka was, thought she was on the SOBER TRAIN! but from the looks of it, she's NOT....why doesn't JUMP in before she's history!

I am glad Stephanie Mills was there to help the Legend, Chaka Khan.

I agree with you solely Stephanie Mills looked out for her musical sister and she knew that her sister was in need created drunk or whatever and she looked out for her I love that that was the best part of the whole show took care of her sister
Stephanie Mills is a 💎 💖
Yeah Chaka was LIT, but we gotta give her a pass she's a true Legend.

This generation does not know love. 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s was music. Pay homage to soul music.
@ S.McNeal/ Truth.....Speak it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Did yall see Stephanie point to Chaka DJ to cut the music when Chaka started sounding too crazy in Everlasting love. Stephanie kept the show together.
Considering their age, I'm proud that both ladies are in phenominal shape! The last time I saw Chaka(and that's been some time ago), she was not as small as she is in this video.

SAME, SHE DOGGED THAT STAGE & SOUNDS JUST AS GREAT AS SHE DID BACK IN THE 80s!!!!
Facts...Chaka was trying to sing with her own vocal track. Couldn't even keep up with it.
Stephanie knew what she was doing and had her leads vocals removed. Chaka should never use her DJ ever again.
@@coltanddj I like chaka songs better tho. It's just sad she didn't have a good setup and she was drunk too.
Chaka really need to stop the drugs n booze, she gon fuq around and end up like Whitney and Michael k williams, you know Stephanie don't drink or do drugs so she won regardless. It's just sad, now chaka can sing her ass off drunk, High or whatever but sis messed up the lyrics and just looked a mess.

Them demons got a hold of her.
She can't do the high boots I kept watching hard the boots were to high for her that night. I don't think she really wanted to be there.
She should have changed her boots period n I think her legs are hurting her bad n that through her off
All those chaka songs are better than Stephanie's songs but where was chaka? Who was that person singing chaka songs? Smh stop getting high chaka or I will fire you!
@@beb5407 Stephanie's songs are for grown folks. Chaka got the better songs all that funk. She just F***ED IT UP BEING HIGH N DRUNK!
Stephanie is the type of friend everyone should have, very supportive, encouraging, and uplifting... She is simply amazing and she put on a great show chaka is great also. I hope she's not sick or anything if not then she needs help, treatment, or intervention...
I truly am in prayer for Chaka Lord bless her, and yes please let's take R&B radio back
Stephanie Mills worked it!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️I however love both of them.😎
So sad for CK…. Her manager and team need to be fired… how or why would you let her go on stage in that state. Hats off to you SM for holding it down for you both. Prayers for you CK.

She gone be embarrassed tomorrow. Damn Chaka 😞

Yes R&B needs to come back most young people hear the beat but don’t know words.
Any number of Divas would have loved to be onstage. Chaka was definitely high on something and should have passed. I've seen her IG Lives recently and she is amazing when sober. She did us no favors stumbling and slurring last night.
She had trouble walking in flats too
lol
I WILL LOVE THESE LADIES' AND THEIR MUSIC TILL THE END OF TIME,THEY LOOK AMAZING,MANY PRAYERS GO OUT TO CHAKA KHAN THOUGH,SHE DID LOOK A LIL TOO "OUTTA HERE"🙏.....THANKS MR SWOOPE👍
Chaka got out of bed for her talented lil sis, only Stephanie needed the money. Chaka did this for fun not for clout. She's got that.
We have to pray for Chaka. I knew she was drunk when the show started.
drunk or high
Love me some Chaka
I love R& B I think this was Terry last video by him in December 2021. May he Rest In Peace 🙏🏾

Give Chaka a break, she’s 68 years old with that check! She might be sick for all we know! Her realness was enough for me, she showed up! And half these singers can’t do her songs…stop judging people… I’m happy she’s still here with us!
We seen it from the moment she walked out. We all knew something was wrong. This was Stephanie vs Mills cause she had to sing Chaka songs just to carry her 🤦♂️. I thought Chaka was gone fall at times. She was forgetting the words 😩
I'm a bigger Chaka Khan's fan but your right she seems she had a little too much to drink, hope it's not a health condition like ms which can cause slurring of speech as well as difficulty walking and balancing.
I totally agree bring back R&b
HAPPY NEW YEAR, TSV! Hope you are better this year. Take care and be safe, bro! Still here for you.
I agree with the message of getting r&b back on black radio but we can't shit on the current shit by calling it "trash" because it comes off like bitter old head talk. Mumble rap has it's place but the radio definitely oversaturates us with it. And it sucks because there's still GOOD r&b out there but it gets buried under Migos, future ECT.
Both of them still look amazingly beautiful! And Stephanie Mills is right. Mumble rap is awful and doesn’t show any talent. It is bad. There is nothing like the sound, writing, and power of traditional R & B, especially like Motown and the 90s in my opinion.
I could no longer watch…CK DID Not get better…l felt embarrassed for CK. 😞 😞 😞
Me too I clicked off so disappointed ☹️
Stephanie is my girl. She's on play and repeat whenever I put on her music.
On another note, some of you are going after Chaka the same way you all did Chadwick. I thought Chadwick would have been a lesson and example for some of you after he died, not to be to quick to judge. I guess I was wrong. Some of you are so disrespectful. This woman is black excellence and black magic, 68 years old. You all need to stop!
Yes Chaka is great but you have to be mindful of your audience, we only see what you show us, black excellence and black magic yes, be that role model and what you do behind closed doors is totally up to you, now personally, if I had paid to see this performance, I would have asked for my money back based on Chaka's stage presence and if she's high, yes I would base it on that as well. Always wishing a sober Chaka.
The show was good but Stephanie Mills never drink Stephanie Mills never smoked and Stephanie Mills never did drugs people when you do all that stuff in your youth it will show as you get older. Maybe Chaka Khan was having trouble with her heart and it had nothing to do with her drinking. But the show overall was very entertaining. And I think Shaka was a little shocked that Stephanie did that well. But Stephanie has Broadway experience. And that makes a big difference of the performer. Stephanie did not have to hit no high note don't nobody do low notes like she do.
It's not good to get messed up when performing like that...Chaka looked lethargic as hell lol
Facts !!!!!!
I love them both and Stephanie voice and energy is flawless. Chaka was giving high vibes and didn't seem as bubbly or feisty as usual. Stephanie was being supportive to Chaka while totally blowing her out the water
I really love both of them. Chaka had always had a drinking problem.
TSV, I was going to send you an email but I wasn't sure if you would have gotten it. I hope you are getting better and arising from the COVID that you have. We are still here for you brother and hoping for your safe and speedy recovery!
I agree with Stephanie mills about that
Rip Terry Swoope, I liked your videos....
Both women looked amazing, Chaka was just
High as Hell, Stephanie was Stephanie as usual,
If Chaka was sober it would have made for a much more musical display
Terry you and Ms. Stephanie Mills is definitely CORRECT LOVE 😘.....We need to take back OUR BLACK MUSIC 🎵🎶.......away from the NON-BLACK CULTURES who are CULTURE VULTURES......WE BLACK HERE WE CREATED THIS SH*T......WE NEED TO CONTROL OUR HISTORY BETTER IN BLACK SOCIETY ......HELL ....WE CREATED ROCK AND R&B. FACTS. 💪💯✊
Cirocka Khan was wasted
Chaka, why did you show up like that? We were rooting for you.
Terry you're Absolutely Right, both these women I've been to their concerts in the day and Chaka is High, same thing when I seen her smoking weed on stage. Unfortunately there's a Moral compass problem in America. Good video reporting
Chaka was high a kite...that was a oxy high trust me
Terry Swoop Exactly i agree Fact's 🙌🙌🙌
Stephanie Mills and Chaka Khan have always been my two favorites!!! And always will be!! I hope Chaka is okay!! And rhythm and blues should have never been left out of Black radio!!!
She is so high
She sounded a little tipsy I still love 💕 them both
A little? She was LIT!
Yess Lord!!!
I haven't seen the Chaka Khan versus Stephanie Mills battle. But I look forward to watching the battle soon. More than the last 45 plus years, Chaka has had a broader impact on overall success than Stephanie. We have to consider her feature vocals for Rufus with hits such as "Tell me something Good, "Stay," "Everlasting Love," "Ain't Nobody," and the Iconic "Sweet Love," to name a few. According to Billboard magazine, Chaka remains one of the top 25 most influential female artists of all time. I encourage you guys to listen to some of Chaka's live performances from years ago. Especially at Montreux Jazz Festival. Now, 30 years ago, Stephanie would have had a stronger challenge from Chaka. With age and abuse issues, Chaka's vocal gift has taken a drastic hit. Hence, Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston vocals suffer because of smoking cigarettes or other contributing issues. Now, that is not minimalized by Stephanie's vocal gifts. I believe Chaka and Stephanie are about the same age. But I believe Stephanie took care of herself better than Chaka. Stephanie still has it. Stephanie's iconic song, "Home," is a cultural classic. I love them both. It's just I would instead witness this battle in their primes.
It was a great show, versus is not as easy as it looks it was great to. See the legends
Stephanie should have song by herself
Exactly !
Beautiful beautiful
She either drunk or high just sad
yup
Stephanie look better than ever had in her life! Chaka was an embarrassment. Wow. I did not expect this.
Btw it’s not a concert but a verzuz; spinning their records and singing along to them while celebrating.
Is it only our community that has Verzuz? I've never seen this mechanism of DIVIDE in another genre. (Me vs them) and from reading the comments we jump right on it 🤔
Stephanie is so beautiful inside i know of her she was never my friend because of the business she had so much respect for Chaka and that just made her so beautiful to me i am her number one fan since we were little girls in church
That's amazing you grew up with Stephanie Mills, I like her gospel records.
@@TerrySwoopeVideos i did not grow up with her i seen her in church only she was a star and had no time for making friends and no time for church either
I watched the show it looked like to me chaka khan was high as kite? And when I saw chaka khan that outfit didn't really become her and those heels no way. Now stephanie mills did a great job as well better than chaka khan. And when chaka khan was trying to sang every lasting love? Chaka Khan don't have that voice like she use to when she sang back in the day. Stephanie Mills you were definitely just beautiful and truly amazing.
I was mad Chaka was tore up or on something because I really wanted to hear her sing. smh This show going down the drain fast.
Chakra full of that hen and white
Lets start a Afrikan family petition of intervention in order to get the help that our beloved Sista Chaka needs before its too late. I am tired if us sitting by and seeing the involuntary suicide of famous members our Global Afrikan families just because they too sick to help themselves
Go to 3:58 to see our beloved Sista Stephanie Mills big up her son after covering for our beloved drunkass Aunti Chaka singing like he drank and smoked out her lifes savings 👏🏿🤣🙏🏾
Everything he said was a 100% correct! I love Chaka Khan and Stephanie Mills, but Stephanie brought her A game last night. Disappointed in Chaka Khan performance.
I love both women, it's hard to watch Chaka like this...
No! What we are listening to today is Stripper culture music
Black Radio! Is wack!
They play hip hop R&b like Chris Brown and and Elle Mai that is what it is called today. They don't play grown folks music . They really need to bring that back.
Random ask but here goes - does anyone know the title and artist of the song played at the end of a lot of Terry's videos?
Chaka Khan is nearly 70. She's like that aunty that refuses to admit she may need flats instead of heels. By the way, how tall is Stephanie Mills.
4'9
Terry! Just checking up on you brother. You haven’t dropped a video in awhile and I’m a little worried about u. Hope everything is going well for you, but I miss the content you put out. Peace and blessings…
I love those Rufus songs of Chaka huneeeeeeee!
BOTH ladies looked great .Stephanie Mills did her thang! I love Chaka ..she just had a little too much to drink lol. ..I swear Nikki Minaj looks like a younger version of Chaka Khan .
Shaka may have been nervous and over medicated with 🍸.
high
Hello Stephanie! Ms. MILLS!
I think the verzuz should have been IMO Stephanie Mills vs. Mickey Howard. They are both r&b artist but Chaka is in a different type of R&b than Chaka. Just my opinion.
Stephanie Mills always keeps it real
Ty Ms. Mills luv you Chaka!
C.K back on that crank
Preach bro thank u
Chaka needs to put some weight back on. She’s walking in those heels like any minute she’s trip and fall
Those shoes hurt her feet, I can tell. They hurt my feet, lol.
They changed her shoes and she was still a stumbling 😕
2👑👑Respected!!✨✨!!!!
Stumbling, slurring words, forgetting her OWN songs....what a MESS Chaka was, thought she was on the SOBER TRAIN! but from the looks of it, she's NOT....why doesn't JUMP in before she's history!
I agree with her
