I saw her sing this in the late 1990s, when she opened for Luther Vandross. I'm gonna see her on May 24, 2019 in Seattle. I can't wait. This woman is phenomenal! She sings with The Rolling Stones, and was one of Luther Vandross's back up singers on his albums and tours.
You’re totally right. She could sing the phone book and i will listen. Powerful, silky voice. I like Maxwell too, when he sings a Kate Bush song,amazing.
D 03 It isn’t as flawless as you think. Whistles are a disconnected register and when you transition from (ex. Chest to Whistle vice versa) you will always hear a vocal break because of the vocal folds. In Head Voice, Mariah also has this issue (all singers have vocal break when transitioning) that the vocal break is always evident. Lisa however, doesn’t have an evident vocal break. That’s why you only hear clean sound because vocal breaks are the sliding of the chest upward until you can utilize Head Voice (Mariah always has this issue so she always pauses before she goes into HV). That’s why you see Mariah preferring to just do descending runs from HV to chest. Lisa, Beyonce, Whitney, SoHyang are all better than Mariah in terms of transitioning
This is a master class. The seamless transitions, range, pronunciation, control, and stage presence without doing too much. I always loved and felt like the arrangement towards the end was influenced by Luther Vandross. This is a legendary performance that should be in the National Museum of African American Music, if it’s not already there. A moment like this MUST live on.
Perfect pitch, range, diction, control, look, style, class. This is why I don't listen to any of the big name singers of today. They just can't hold a candle to the vocalist of this era and before. This woman's voice is absolute perfection.
Why why WHY don't we see this type of vocalist today?😭😭😭 Back in the 80s, early 90s and before this was common. Those ladies had class AND talent. As much as I love this, it's somewhat painful to watch because this level of excellence just doesn't seem to exist anymore. My goodness, young girls had something worthy to aspire to back then. Now, it's sad .😢
@@kvtarBecause you actually had to have talent. Now people get famous for nothing. The fact the catch me outside girl from Dr. Phil could get a record deal and is now rich from being a brat on tv, I don’t have high hopes. It’s exploitation of the music industry which has existed since the beginning. It’s just the bar is low.
She toured many years as a background singer for the Rolling Stones. That’s how much they thought of her . A real band, real artist wanting real artist with them.
You should listen to Dimash Kudaibergen that’s another incredibly talented skilled singer that has a ridiculous vocal range buddy can go from the low almost growl notes up to dolphin like high notes like it’s nothing 🔥 favorite song from him that stays on repeat is Stranger
I love Lisa Fischer, her vocals sounds like bird's in the early morning, beautiful sounds, thank you for letting the world to listen to your beautiful voice.
MsRoby114 EVER!!! she is an absolute dream to listen to. She doesn’t sound like anyone else but Lisa Fischer But Lisa Fischer. If I ever had a ton of money I would just say “ Lisa! Go” just go. Do whatever the hell you want.
In 2023 This is still one of my favorite songs of all times! I had the absolute pleasure of meeting her years ago when she use to sing background vocals for the the one and only Legendary Mr. Luther Vandross. 🙏🏽🕊️🤍 she was so kind and down to earth. Beautiful inside and out! Her vocals/ range are Phenomenal 🔥🔥
Was about to say.....we musicians differentiate singers from musicians....she has an instrument, complete command, so many textures....the way she moves through registers is absolutely stunning. Brandi is rightly called the 'vocal bible.' Ms. Fischer is the vocal encyclopedia.
She needs to perform on the bet awards or soul train awards come 2019 somebody really need to give her the light cause her performance live is better than anything I’ve seen in the last couple years
she has the pipes still. tours and shares the mike w/ MIck Jagger on The Roliing Stones WORD TOURS, but she looks more like Chaka KHAN now than what you saw on this video. I could care less what she looks like with that voice, but the world wants Beyonce, etc., But if you like Lisa's voice you MUST hear her sing "Map to the Treasure", on Billy Child's CD that reimagines the spectacularly difficult and out of this world soulful music of Laura Nyro. Lisa nails it almost to the letter as well as The Legendary Laura Nyro
This is by far the greatest R&B vocal performance I have ever seen. I make all of my vocal students sit and watch this performance and we analyze what she is doing physically and mentally to crush this song. She is in complete control of her instrument to the point that she can remain physically calm, poised and focused throughout the entire performance. She makes it look easy when in fact it is far from it. There are no twitches or unnecessary movements of the head, neck or jaw. Notice that she rarely moves further than a few inches from the microphone even when she is belting. This is because she has mastered breath control and knows exactly how much air to use in order to sing consistently throughout her entire range without yelling or pushing. She lets the microphone and PA do a lot of the heavy lifting. Her restraint is remarkable with no unnecessary runs or acrobatics. She is not afraid to leave space for the song to breathe with her. The diction is perfect. The high notes are beautiful and full of resonance (she is not squeaking) and she loses no control when running licks up there. This kind of control is the result of years and years of training and practice. It was muscle memory and she knew exactly what was going to come out of her mouth the entire time. She is magical. She is an inspiration.
This is my favorite singing performance of all time. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen this but every time I do I'm blown away as if it's the first. Emotion and total command of her instrument makes this so powerful.
Lisa’s singing is a whole lesson in vocals but the song and the singing and Lisa and btw she’s very humble, I don’t think we’ll see this again. I mean dam. This is what a Grammy award song and singer sounds like.
This is one of my favorite vocal performances by any artist in my memory. Lisa is not only beautiful but is capable of mesmerizing with her God given talent. I get chills every-time I hear this song.
Lisa's not "Only a backup singer" she openly doesn't have the ego or even desired the lifestyle that goes with Stardum, I'm paraphrasing Lisa's own words. Many famous bands and singers think she's an amazing star and supreme voice, she just loves to sing with others and its a cathartic/spiritual process for her. She's still alive making music and singer with others. Not hounded by cruel people and bashed by the media and fans, she's genuinely adored by all she works with and I think that within itself is an amazing feat for the history and the singers she has performed with. "Only" a back up singer is not who she is. She's an amazing talented woman who has more compassion and humility than most. Luckily people who recognize her gift and beauty are inspired by it and strive to have her be involved in her music.
OMGosh this woman is other-wordly. That high note just sends shivers up and down my spine. I don't believe there has ever been a singer in the history of mankind that could do that except for Lisa.
I saw her live in the last 80s at a Luther concert. When she sang this song she nearly took the roof off the arena. I will never forget it. To this day I have never heard anything quite like it.
Musicians (especially those who accompany vocalists) differentiate between singers and musicians. Her voice is an instrument, complete control, unmatched by any of the great voices in pop music whom I won't name.. She was content to be in the background after winning a Grammy for this. Imagine that.
She's literally writing the script on perfection and performance. So confident and able to convey exactly how she feels through chords with a side of seduction 🔥 🔥 🔥
I want singers to sing like this again 😭
Same nobody appreciates this kinda singing anymore😭
We have good singers no airtime.
Lawd, yes...!!!
I’m starting to think it’s the new producers and writers also that can’t give us good singing music like this
@@A.Jionni The songwriting these days is terrible and the production is extremely repetitive and uninspired. I can’t stand it 🥴

👇🏽
2024. I saw her perform back in 2019?
2024 ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
She sounds better than the studio version and that was a masterpiece
Watched it countless times. She is incredible.
As well, the live version is easier to watch. In the studio version the producers "white out' Lisa. Pisses me off.
And she won a Grammy. This blows it out of the water.
WORD.
She's incredible
She’s Toni Braxton, Mariah and Whitney all in one package.
This isn't singing. This is SANGING! Chills & great song.
CHILLS EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!
U BETTER SAAAAY IT BRO-CHRIS!👏

Ha Ha funny I saw this vid on FB and made the exact same comment, "not singing but Sangin" Also my youngest son's name is Chris Brown
Chris Brown what is this song about ??
Lisa's pipes are undeniable. But can we talk about the fit? Hair, nails, dress, red lip, LEGS?? Stunning!
Linda L yasss! That’s what I said !
Movements, on que, with the words. You can feel her.
@@paulap8170 whoo chile this was sublime. She gave us everything😭

You’re totally right. She could sing the phone book and i will listen. Powerful, silky voice. I like Maxwell too, when he sings a Kate Bush song,amazing.
Legend! She has the power of Whitney, the range of Mariah and the resonance of Celine. SHE is the vocal trinity!
whitney & mariah has more resonance than celine. FACT ONLY
and most sexy legs
D 03 Lisa’s transitions are better, more polished than Mariah’s simply because Lisa is trained whilst Mariah is not.

D 03 Thats the best example lmao. She was pushing in that performance as well.
I need to ease the pain of my jaw dropping to the floor after Lisa's otherworldly vocals. She's from a different planet!
You can say that 3 times!!!
So true. This beautiful lady is simply amazing!
Lisa Fisher won't be repeated.
when she hit that $ note, it sounded like those electric guitars 🎸 🎶 when they're shredding on those high notes. ORGASMIC. SLAYED.
booginas yes!!!
where are you what is your name
Right?! I was so freaking impressed. I got chills all over.
Real talk
Exactly my thoughts
this is mind blowing, this voice control out of this world
All Of It🎙🔥☀️🌜🌟
This woman tore the stage up wit mic jagger on gimme shelter
AND SHE SINGS WITH POWER ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE WHOLE SONG !
that “give me all or nothing at all” was so powerful!
It’s even more impressive when you realize she belted out and sustained a G5 at the end of the phrase.
Yesss
This generation needs REAL SINGERS like Lisa to mentor them.
Her voice is clean and so pleasant to ears!!!
I know right

Not only can she can sing but the Queen is very beautiful!

Her voice ain’t nothing to play with !!!
Lisa Fischer is definitely a rare Gem 💎 who is poised with elegance and her voice is phenomenal especially with those various octaves ❤

I just say. They are better than anything I’ve ever heard… from anyone
HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE A BILLION VIEWS? THIS PERFORMANCE IS JUST UNTOUCHABLE

What you said
Actually the song one in a Grammy so did the album that the song was on
Lisa Fischer is a prime example of the abundance of exceptionally talented female vocalists in R&B who are not especially well-known.
She never wanted nor needed to be well know, so thats perfect for her
She should have been up there with the best of them!! Her voice is stunning!!
She even sounds better LIVE. ❤❤❤
That ending was just incredible. One of the best performances ever.
Every 2-3 months I come back to this performance I when I do it plays on loop for an hour. It’s amazing!
