Top 5 must listen live tracks from Experience: 826+: One Is the Magic # (Redux), Do You Remember, Gettin' In the Way, The Way (feat. Mike Phillips), He Loves Me (Lyzel In E Flat) (Movements I, II & III).
His dad has such a pure, sweet reaction. I almost wish Ms Jill could see this and see how her music is still affecting new listeners all these years later.
This song not winning a Grammy is criminal. The production, the words, the singing, the music are all TOP NOTCH and a so different from most RnB. Lush is the word that describes this song
Actually so different from all - not just RNB, pop too !!! You don't even hear this sound or voice in pop, hence why all others wish/want and study RNB music/singers/their style/lyrics/vocals/rhythms, etc... our sound is distinctive!
"She's so romantic, isn't she... she's so romantic." - AGGGHHHHH!!!!! That melts ME! I LOVE that he is listening to the arrangement, phrasing and lyrics and hears her heart. Its a demonstration of what it means to be SEEN. Black women don't get that gift often. Your Dad hears her... but it's like he SEES her... heart.
@@missroxxy215thank you sooo much for this. Some ppl are addicted to being seen negatively. Black woman have dignity, beauty and love. If your a bw with low self-esteem please keep that narrative to yourself and heal b4 speaking on the collective of bw.
This dad doesn't listen with his ears, he listens with HIS SOUL!!! I get the hunch he allows his soul to lead.....which is why he's such a treasure. You have an amazing gift of a father...you are so blessed young man. ❤
The fact his heart literally “lit” up when he recognized it was Jill Scott..His smile said it all.. They need this father/son duo doing this with each artist hidden behind a mirror watching..❤️
When your dad closes his eyes and just fades…then cries…this is such a beautiful illustration of music’s positive power to connect us all. I love this soooo much!
I had the honor of performing in Jill’s poetry readings here in Philadelphia. None of us knew she could sing. One night, she song her version of the national anthem after her poetry reading. We were amazed. To watch her and so many others from Philadelphia at that time come up like Jazmine Sullivan, Musiq Soulchild, it was phenomenal.
Yes indeed! I was a freshman at Johnson C Smith University 2000 when this dropped. The name of this album was sooooo fitting! She had everyone's attention do you hear me?❤
Your dad would love Maxwell whatever, whenever or womans work if he likes jill scott, erykah, minnie rip and solange. Maxwell is a romantic neo soul male singer who approaches melodies uniquely. one of the best.
Also, add the following artists. Like Music Soul Child, Van Hunt, Heather Headley, Floetry and others of the Neo-Soul era this new era, you are looking at H.E.R, Ella Mai, and other new artists which I can not think of right now.
Your Dad is so emotionally mature, dialed in and refreshingly vulnerable. There’s nothing like a man that allows himself to just be human and feel AND be free to share his humanity. Just wow… also love your relationship with your Dad. Definitely gained a new follower 🙏🏽
Yes she is worth the money to see in concert…. Saw her years ago with Maxwell,and a few other artist…. After her performance I was ready to go she made my night❤
@blackredwhiteandblue1440 Yes. She is great in concert. I've seen her 5 times. Just a few months ago, for the 23rd anniversary of her debut album, Who Is Jill Scott. Wonderful show.
This is why I rock with Canadians and moved my black ass to Canada 2 years ago ! 🇨🇦 My man heard 5 notes and said, "Jill Scott !" 😌 Dear Universe: More people in the world like these two, please. 👏🏽👏🏽
I completely understand the tears when she said “you love me and you like me” and he said “that’s important”, I felt that to my core because it is so important and not always the case!!
I love that performance...and the Paris live performance of this song (the one where she is wiping away tears...and she sings about missing a love when she sings this song...and her pianist has a wonderful intro before she starts singing). I think this may have been shortly around the time of her divorce from Lyzel (the muse of this song). There is also the House of Blues performance of this song.. where she starts operatic...and laugh in song-notes...and then the song transitions into a disco beat. Both live versions are on RUclips. It is amazing how many different ways that she can perform this song live.
I don’t what this one was for but it has always been my favorite. She pulled heavily on classical and Jazz and I swoon. I loved this performance and she is one of my favorites. ❤️ ruclips.net/video/h0nRWHh6yKI/видео.htmlsi=Np5RemdxPBjQXpTZ
Thank you for recommending this! I just listened to it for the first time and I had this dad's reaction! That was fire with the violin accompaniment! 🔥🔥🔥 F-I-Y-A-H!!!!
Can i just say, your father has exceptional taste in music. Jill Scott has a hypnotic, melodic voice that'll stand the test of time & he gets it. Her music touches your soul not just your ears.
Thanks for pointing that out Dad. "You love me. You like me." Yeah, that's powerful! Another gem on her debut album is "One is the Magic #". That one was definitely slept on!
Theres a live version of this where she has one of the most amazing displays of vocal prowess you will ever hear. So effortless and powerful at the same time it was incredible
I just stumbled on this reaction video and decided to watch it. When this Jill Scott album came out I was in my late 20s. I had just started dating a woman who would later become one of my best relationships. Jill Scott was fairly unknown to the world at that time. So, we explored her and each other while morphing pass the infancy of adulthood and learning how to proactively better ourselves. Finding our meaning with each other as well as internally. This album was the first soundtrack of our bond and set the stage perfectly for us as we moved parallel through the lows but mostly highs of that experience. When I listen to it today, it is still as powerful and rich as it was back then and is by far my favorite of all of her music.
This! I think this was what she was going for! I wasn't in a relationship but she made me feel free to love and be loved. Good experience, thanks for sharing
It’s her spoken word history that shows in her singing cadence. She is a phenomenal story teller, orator. Love, love, love her. She’s a top tier live performer.
Your father and i broke into tears at the same time after he said " You love me, you like me, cause thats important" When the people who love you actually LIKE you too , there's nothing like it.
Jill’s albums never do her the justice of seeing her perform live. She is one of the many NeoSoul artists (not R&B) that shaped and defined my best memories of my college years. Forever grateful and happy your dad’s joy is the same joy that is replicated when I listen to NeoSoul music as well!
Which Jilly from Philly does she present live? I stan on her first 2 albums but never recovered from her image makeover on that 3rd album The Real Thing? I’m almost scared to see her live because Real Thing Jill sullies my memory of her 😂😂
@@seensay2132 not really sure what you mean because the Real Thing definitely had some bangers: Crown Royal, Hate on Me, Come See Me, Let It Be, Whenever You're Around (steppers jam), Insomnia, like i personally loved 80% of the album, same with The Light of The Sun. And still Jill puts on an amazing live show when in concert. I have been moved to tears at each one and I've seen her 3 times.
@@msjaejontelle lol Jill making Crown Royal ain’t it for me! Her music was hot and sensual with an air of class & sophistication. Spring Summer Feeling, my personal favorite, case in point. My question was which Jill shows up in her live shows? The Neosoul Queen we met on her first 2 or the one suckin’ off a microphone? (She doesn’t have to act like that on her level of talent imho 🤷🏾♂️)
This is one of the GREATEST artists of the 2000s....I met Jill Scott unknowingly when I was with my church choir. And while waiting for her to come out I sat next to this captivating woman with the most beautiful smile I've ever seen. While I sat there with her ( pre youtube ) I didn't know what she looked like and I believed she knew that so she didn't want to draw attention to herself. When I told her I cannot wait to hear Jill Scott sing she simply said "Really?? Well, I hope you get to see her." And that was it. Later on, the MC told the crowd that they're about to bring out Jill Scott and of course I was excited.... UNTIL, 👀 I saw that it was the same woman!!!! Ah man 😔 😟 I didn't know, but it was so sweet how she didn't come across as arrogant or entitled.... especially cause she was creating a buzz with her debut album. Such a great moment and the rest was history. She performed this song 🎵 live and it was breath taking.
This song will NEVER not be a classic, probably my all time favorite of hers. A legend, and I still have my CD. Automatic sub for this video. Love you guys. 😊❤ Fun fact: Light of the Sun was made completely through improv. She put the band in different rooms in a studio and just went with the music and sang what she was feeling. Again, a LEGEND! 🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️
This kid has impeccable taste in music. And clearly his dad does too - seems to enjoy everything I’ve seen the son share with him! A lot of these songs were what I listened to before the son was even born! Good music is timeless 😊
Such a beautiful moment between father and son. I loved how dad knew who was as soon as he heard Jill's voice, and he understands her style. Jill Scott is EVERYTHING. New subscriber here. ❤
Same for me and my wife...23 years this December, and this CD played for several of them... every time I hear it it makes me fall in love with her all over again. Congratulations on your longevity as well!
Her voice is incredibly silky and beautiful. I appreciate how "you love me, you like me" was pointed out. I initially missed that line for the same reason that I got lost in her voice. (Halo by Beyonce always gets me misty eyed)
My heart. That’s how you’re supposed to enjoy music. He had to get a tissue.I just melted. This is the most adorable thing. I just found the channel so I hope Dad puts on some classics for his son.
I love your dad. You can tell he’s a really sweet guy with a good heart. The line “You love me you like me” made him think about someone and touched his spirit. I love that you share music with him and music of African American culture bc we have a lot to say and we say it well lol. Great channel. Never a dull moment .
I love how engaged and absorbed he is in the music. He was just vibing it. I enjoyed the music but also loved watching the Dad enjoy it too. He made me smile.
Can you explain to me what “incite me to chorus” means in a guy covering this song and I don’t want to put it in mine if it means what I think it means 😂
I went to go see her on Mothers Days this year and she was performing this album from front to back in straight order. When I tell you I just closed my eyes (also had a gummy😜) and sat back and just vibed to each and every lyric, note, adlib, groan, moan how she does it EXACTLY on the album I was in BLISS. I didn't come down off that high for 2 days. Jill Scott will FOREVER be my woman crush 😍 🥰😍🥰
The transition between the singing part and the spoken part ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨It’s interesting that you are talking about the way she cuts words. I sounds like poetry to me translated into a song.
it is very much spoken word. Love rain has a very simlar spoken word poetry vibe. (heck even the intro to the album talks about how shes likes doing poetry XD) so it makes alot of sense! I love that she combineds it into music so well!!
When Jill Scott does her runs, immediately brings tears to my eyes. One of the best underrated vocalists out today. There is a live performance she did with The Roots--the notes she hits in that performance is something cosmic!
I saw her perform this, this summer and I got goosebumps. The daddy's emotion is spot on when you hear this! To love and be loved this way! What a time to be alive
Jill is a writer and poet. So I have always felt her words to be impactful and from her soul and life. Which is why she is one of the best in the r&b subgenre of NeoSoul. Also as she has said her voice is her instrument which I feel she is a master at. Check out her live from Paris album
Jilly from Philly is a legend for a reason. That voice is transcendent. You and your dad have to add Meshell Ndegeocello to your lineup. Truly, all of her work is masterful, you can’t go wrong, but her Bitter album is an excellent place to start. Talk about songs that make you feel all the feels. Wonder how your dad would respond to Beyoncé’s ‘Pray You Catch Me’
Now, listen close you two! Scott's debut album is flawless. Truly not a bad track, but if you want to really hear her go off vocally, wait until you get to Experience: 826+ so named for her Washington D.C. concert. Insane vocals throughout & some great bonus tracks & remixes including Free, Be Ready, Gimme, & Got Get Up (Another Day). I think you would also like Daydreamin' with Lupe Fiasco. That song still gets played in commercials & shows.
Pronounced Lie-Zell. Great video! Love your dad's reaction!!!! Also, Jill is a poet and spoken word artist. So yes, it's something done in rap but also in poetry. It's all intertwined. She is one of the top of the top of her craft.
I love it!!!! Jill is amazing (it’s Ly-Zelle) Listen to Le BOOM VENT SUITE on her “Light of the sun album. I’m sure your dad will love the transitions and instrumentation.
The first 3 mins of that 9 min song are the best part. If it was a single, that would become the radio edit. I think Making You Wait is even better. So Gone is my other fav from that album.
I've been to many concerts, and I can truly say that Jilly from Philly sounds the best ever in a live performance. She sounds just as she does on the album. It's so beautiful
This song was mine, and one of my partners, who passed away. I loved her deeply. Every time I hear it,I am taken back and see our love and time together play like a movie, in my mind. That is the magic of Jill Scott
I love this! Dad had me crying! I love how he knew it was Jill after only hearing her twice before. Seeing her live is life changing. I saw her in philly. We stood outside in the pouring rain and it was MAGICAL! Thank you for starting my morning off right
Jill comes from the spoken word poetry world, so that's probably the influence you're hearing more than rapping. If you haven't already, you should really listen to the live version of "He Loves Me" from her Experience Jill Scott: 826 album, even if you don't do it on the channel. Amazing performance.
Jill has incredible range. Her voice is so full and rich...like a spoon of butter in your mouth. Seeing her live is sublime. This is still my favorite song of hers.
As a day 1 Jill Scott fan... I LOVE. THIS! This song has been burned into my soul! You hear me! Oh the repeated plays this song got and will still get. Just as much as that album! Bless this Woman for her timesless contributions! The prose poetry and her soul piercing vocals. ❤

That whole album is an experience please review it
😁ALWAYS KNEW from the beginning of channel yur dad would LOVE JILL SCOTT 🥰
Lyzel = Lie-Zelle, remove the space there's no pause. Think phonetically.
His dad has such a pure, sweet reaction. I almost wish Ms Jill could see this and see how her music is still affecting new listeners all these years later.
I agree
Gosh, she is not that old. ❤
@@bgknowableI take that as a credit to her talent. Who is Jill Scott vol 1 came out 23 yrs ago, not about her age but her music.
That was beautiful! If love was a song, then this song would be it!
One of my favorite songs by Miss Jill Scott….. such a beautiful, soulful, melodic and sincere love song!
Jill Scott has roots in poetry and spoken word and you're hearing her infuse this art in her music.
Agreed
Yes, I thought the same.
Exactly
And rap is a form of poetry so makes sense he would have drawn that connection 😊
Don’t forget her operatic training…Embodiment of versatility.
Watching his face light up with excitement when he realized it was Jill was too precious ❤
fr
Came to the comments to type this.❤
I absolutely LOVE dad’s reaction ❤
That part. Real nice.
The best part.. so beautiful
This song not winning a Grammy is criminal. The production, the words, the singing, the music are all TOP NOTCH and a so different from most RnB. Lush is the word that describes this song
I agree. The Grammy's should create a category for the best song that didn't get a Grammy when it should have.
Actually so different from all - not just RNB, pop too !!! You don't even hear this sound or voice in pop, hence why all others wish/want and study RNB music/singers/their style/lyrics/vocals/rhythms, etc... our sound is distinctive!
She lost best female rnb vocal 3 years in a row with songs on this album. Kinda wild even if it was to Toni Braxton, Alicia Keys, and Mary J
LUSH is the perfect word!
WE THE PPL GIVE YOU AN AWARD FOR THIS UNIQUE BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE🏆🥇🎖️Ty❤🖤❤
"She's so romantic, isn't she... she's so romantic." - AGGGHHHHH!!!!! That melts ME!
I LOVE that he is listening to the arrangement, phrasing and lyrics and hears her heart. Its a demonstration of what it means to be SEEN. Black women don't get that gift often. Your Dad hears her... but it's like he SEES her... heart.
Well said…I totally agree 😊
We do get this often, let’s change this narrative.
@@missroxxy215thank you sooo much for this. Some ppl are addicted to being seen negatively. Black woman have dignity, beauty and love. If your a bw with low self-esteem please keep that narrative to yourself and heal b4 speaking on the collective of bw.

Spot on, sis!
Jill never gets old. Beautiful timeless voice 💜
exactly!!!!!! Legendary…..
never! ❤️❤️🖤✊🏾
💯
Nice song but she tends to gravitate towards males who neither love her or like her.
But they love using her for what she can do for them.
I love his reaction to the song.. a truly beautiful tune.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This dad doesn't listen with his ears, he listens with HIS SOUL!!! I get the hunch he allows his soul to lead.....which is why he's such a treasure. You have an amazing gift of a father...you are so blessed young man. ❤
The fact his heart literally “lit” up when he recognized it was Jill Scott..His smile said it all.. They need this father/son duo doing this with each artist hidden behind a mirror watching..❤️
I agree! Such a joy to see!
Yes and I love it!!! ❤❤
Yes, I felt his joy when he recognized Jill's voice. ❤❤
This album had me in a chokehold when it came out...still does
Me too
Listen...me 3! I remember where i was, who i was dating.... everything. Her and Mary J. Blige were the soundtrack to that period of my life 🤍
No skips. Not one!
Same here
A song from this album plays on my music platform of choice, every. single. day hands down her best work
When your dad closes his eyes and just fades…then cries…this is such a beautiful illustration of music’s positive power to connect us all. I love this soooo much!
Jill is a classic. 100 years from now you’ll be able to enjoy her music just like we do Billie Holiday. This song takes your breath away 🙏🏾
I’ve seen her live in concert. Probably the best singer Ive ever seen in concert. She even sang opera 😂😂😂
@@majorlazor5058she is awesome in concert. Why is it funny though that she sings opera? 🤷🏾♀️
@@soniib1441 it’s funny she sang opera at a hip hop concert. She’s very talented.
@@majorlazor5058it’s weird that they even tried to take offense from what you said
@@youngbluntandmizguided yeah. That’s the internet 😂🤣😂:
When there isn’t controversy in your post they’ll just create one.
“You love me, and you like me ..that’s important” whew pops had to shed a tear after voicing those words so deep .
Jill is a poet and it’s evident in all of her work!

Yes! I love being from Philly ❤️❤️❤️
What’s crazy is I remember when I first seen her in Cool C’s video back in the day 🤯
Same I attended Temple at that time and frequented the poetry scene a lot, but nothing was better than the Black Lily. IYKYK
Beautiful memories
@@msjaejontelle
15 yr old me LOVED this song. Almost 39 yr old me has a deeper appreciation for the lyrics she wrote. Great song
Yes indeed! I was a freshman at Johnson C Smith University 2000 when this dropped. The name of this album was sooooo fitting! She had everyone's attention do you hear me?❤
I think I was about 11 12 on the west side of Chicago I will never forget my mom bumping this🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤯
Song made me 😢. My ex used to sing this song all the time. She died a few years ago from cancer. She was my first love. R.I.P. Alicia
Your dad would love Maxwell whatever, whenever or womans work if he likes jill scott, erykah, minnie rip and solange. Maxwell is a romantic neo soul male singer who approaches melodies uniquely. one of the best.
Yes! Maxwell for sure
@sydneekay8452 the slow version 🙌🏾
YESSSSS
ABSOLUTELY OMGGG
Also, add the following artists. Like Music Soul Child, Van Hunt, Heather Headley, Floetry and others of the Neo-Soul era this new era, you are looking at H.E.R, Ella Mai, and other new artists which I can not think of right now.
Your Dad WAS SO GEEKED when he found out it was Jill Scott... I loved it. 👍💖😀😆😂👏👏👏👏
👏🏽👏🏽Same here!
I was looking for this comment.
That CD is 23 years old Wow time has flown Lie-zell is how his name is pronounced, it was her husband at the time. I will always love her music! ❤
Thx for the background info.. i never knew🤷🏽♀️..
23!!!! Wow!
Seeing her in concert is PHENOMENAL. I remember when she sang this and by the end I was crying. She will snatch your SOUL when she sings.
Saw her in Nashville a few years ago and yes she SANG that night.
She is one of the best live shows I’ve seen. I try to go as often as I can when she’s touring
AH-MAZING experience!!!
Yess, imagine seeing her in concert and hearing her sing that rift part opera style…DOPENESS💯
Sweet. I will make sure to go and see her when she comes to my country/city. ❤

What a sweet, true and toughtful comment ❤
I felt EVERY bit of your comment.. and I couldn't agree more!~

I’ve seen her in concert at least 5 times and she sings this song differently every single time. It’s just magic
She did this in my city but an opera version. Ahhhhhhh the beauty of her voice. I was in tearssss
Yes she is!!!
Yes I’ve seen her live in Philly. Her hometown. Just magic!!!
I’ve seen her twice and each time was amazing and different. When she sings opera it literally touched my soul. She’s the best!!
This song live is another level. Jill's voice is a musical instrument and she showcases that well when singing this live.
Absolutely. I thought the same thing.
She is a great live singer. Saw her and Maxwell at MSG. Amazing Show!!!!
That version where she has an orchestra behind her is next level : the "Live & Rare" video here on youtube.
Yes she is worth the money to see in concert…. Saw her years ago with Maxwell,and a few other artist…. After her performance I was ready to go she made my night❤
@blackredwhiteandblue1440 Yes. She is great in concert. I've seen her 5 times. Just a few months ago, for the 23rd anniversary of her debut album, Who Is Jill Scott. Wonderful show.
Jill Scott and Erykah Badu are easily in my top 3 of RnB singers.
Neo-Soul not R&B
@@trinanineteen7398Neo Soul is a subgenre of R&B.
And both are so under-rated.

This is one of the GREATEST artists of the 2000s....I met Jill Scott unknowingly when I was with my church choir. And while waiting for her to come out I sat next to this captivating woman with the most beautiful smile I've ever seen. While I sat there with her ( pre youtube ) I didn't know what she looked like and I believed she knew that so she didn't want to draw attention to herself. When I told her I cannot wait to hear Jill Scott sing she simply said "Really?? Well, I hope you get to see her." And that was it. Later on, the MC told the crowd that they're about to bring out Jill Scott and of course I was excited.... UNTIL, 👀 I saw that it was the same woman!!!! Ah man 😔 😟 I didn't know, but it was so sweet how she didn't come across as arrogant or entitled.... especially cause she was creating a buzz with her debut album. Such a great moment and the rest was history. She performed this song 🎵 live and it was breath taking.
Dad cries A WINNER! 😆😍 Jill is the truth!
It's a beautiful thing seeing your dad's raw, unfiltered emotions to music. 👍🏽
Ms. Scott started as a poet, which is why she is an amazing lyrical vocalist 🎉
That whole entire CD is pure gold. Love Jill Scott!!!
This song will NEVER not be a classic, probably my all time favorite of hers. A legend, and I still have my CD. Automatic sub for this video. Love you guys. 😊❤ Fun fact: Light of the Sun was made completely through improv. She put the band in different rooms in a studio and just went with the music and sang what she was feeling. Again, a LEGEND! 🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️
TOTALLY AGREE! I still have mine too!!! 🔥💯
Same with it being my favorite of hers. Just the instrumental alone is smooth asf. Then how her voice comes in and glides with it is just .. ooo
MIne as well!! ✌🏾❤️🙏🏾
This song is on every single phone I’ve ever had on life this is my shit!!!!
Jill Scott live is phenomenal. Her voice is so angelic. The studio sound doesn’t capture her voice as it really is go see her live 🎉
I've only seen her once years ago, SHE WAS PHENOMENAL!!!!
Just love that the father and son has great music knowledge and give their take on the song. So positive
This kid has impeccable taste in music. And clearly his dad does too - seems to enjoy everything I’ve seen the son share with him! A lot of these songs were what I listened to before the son was even born! Good music is timeless 😊
Such a beautiful moment between father and son. I loved how dad knew who was as soon as he heard Jill's voice, and he understands her style. Jill Scott is EVERYTHING. New subscriber here. ❤
This is our song! 23 yrs strong! This song played a pivotal part in falling in love with my husband!
This is my dream! I hope your romance continues to blossom, I love this for y’all so much!
Same for me and my wife...23 years this December, and this CD played for several of them... every time I hear it it makes me fall in love with her all over again. Congratulations on your longevity as well!
Her voice is incredibly silky and beautiful. I appreciate how "you love me, you like me" was pointed out. I initially missed that line for the same reason that I got lost in her voice. (Halo by Beyonce always gets me misty eyed)
People always say, "I wish I could go back and hear that song for the first time again". These vids are the next best thing.
My heart. That’s how you’re supposed to enjoy music. He had to get a tissue.I just melted. This is the most adorable thing. I just found the channel so I hope Dad puts on some classics for his son.
I’ve done a few of my favourites from way back. I’m a Man, Medicated Goo, Night Flight, Roundabout, etc. More to come!
I love your dad. You can tell he’s a really sweet guy with a good heart. The line “You love me you like me” made him think about someone and touched his spirit. I love that you share music with him and music of African American culture bc we have a lot to say and we say it well lol. Great channel. Never a dull moment .
I love how engaged and absorbed he is in the music. He was just vibing it. I enjoyed the music but also loved watching the Dad enjoy it too. He made me smile.
Couldn't have said it better
"You love me, you like me, excite me to chorus" her writer's pen is exceptional.
Also it was written about her husband at the time, Lyzel.
It’s “incite” instead of “excite” but your point is absolutely correct.
Long time Jill Scott fan here » Lyzel wasn't her husband he was her long time boyfriend at the time!
Can you explain to me what “incite me to chorus” means in a guy covering this song and I don’t want to put it in mine if it means what I think it means 😂
@@cameronleecarter I always took it to mean he makes her want to sing.
Incite is to encourage so it's like he's making her want to sing (the chorus).
Dad got so excited when he realize it was Jill Scott 😊!!
I went to go see her on Mothers Days this year and she was performing this album from front to back in straight order. When I tell you I just closed my eyes (also had a gummy😜) and sat back and just vibed to each and every lyric, note, adlib, groan, moan how she does it EXACTLY on the album I was in BLISS. I didn't come down off that high for 2 days. Jill Scott will FOREVER be my woman crush 😍 🥰😍🥰
I saw that concert and I was overcome with emotion. It was fabulous.
I can totally see, imagine and feel what you described! She’s such an incredible artist. Would love to experience her live! 🥰🙌🏾😎
What a beautiful experience. ❤
I saw her this year. Even though she came to my city I decided to go see her in Philly. It was such a great show.
Jealous!!
Yes. Please take him down the Jill Scott discography. Especially live versions. ❤❤❤😂😂
I truly believe that this embodies the affirmation that a true man needs and wants to hear from the woman he has chosen to love genuinely.
Facts
The transition between the singing part and the spoken part ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨It’s interesting that you are talking about the way she cuts words. I sounds like poetry to me translated into a song.
it is very much spoken word. Love rain has a very simlar spoken word poetry vibe. (heck even the intro to the album talks about how shes likes doing poetry XD) so it makes alot of sense! I love that she combineds it into music so well!!
Exactly
When Jill Scott does her runs, immediately brings tears to my eyes. One of the best underrated vocalists out today. There is a live performance she did with The Roots--the notes she hits in that performance is something cosmic!
The way Dad lights up when he recognizes Jill's voice is such a joy to watch. She makes me feel the same way.
I saw her perform this, this summer and I got goosebumps.
The daddy's emotion is spot on when you hear this!
To love and be loved this way! What a time to be alive
Yep, saw her in the ATL. A friend gave me tickets as a bday present
I saw her in Nashville back in April. Love her so much!
Me too! I saw her at Hollywood Bowl. So good!
Saw her at Essence Fest. Really special - I live in the U.K. so was such a treat
Jill is a writer and poet. So I have always felt her words to be impactful and from her soul and life. Which is why she is one of the best in the r&b subgenre of NeoSoul. Also as she has said her voice is her instrument which I feel she is a master at. Check out her live from Paris album
Jilly from Philly is a legend for a reason. That voice is transcendent. You and your dad have to add Meshell Ndegeocello to your lineup. Truly, all of her work is masterful, you can’t go wrong, but her Bitter album is an excellent place to start. Talk about songs that make you feel all the feels. Wonder how your dad would respond to Beyoncé’s ‘Pray You Catch Me’
Yes! Her!
I agree Ms. Ndegeochello is a bad sistah. Love everything she does. ❤
This is such a pure appreciation of music. I wish more people saw all genres like this.
His emotional response, actually moved me to tears
Now, listen close you two! Scott's debut album is flawless. Truly not a bad track, but if you want to really hear her go off vocally, wait until you get to Experience: 826+ so named for her Washington D.C. concert. Insane vocals throughout & some great bonus tracks & remixes including Free, Be Ready, Gimme, & Got Get Up (Another Day). I think you would also like Daydreamin' with Lupe Fiasco. That song still gets played in commercials & shows.
I COMPLETELY agree!!! ✌️💖
Don’t forget “Not Like Crazy”. That Jill doesn't have ALL the awards is a crime against humanity.
💯🙌🏾
That’s hands down one of the best live albums ever recorded❤️
@@brieanaduckett-graves6234 yep!
I think you should do the whole album...Dad will LOVE it🥰🥰
They definitely should 🥰🤍🤍
I absolutely love this song..... great reaction... the album is in my top 5 I've bought in my life.
Masterpiece.
Masterpiece
I love his reaction to Jill’s voice once he recognized her. The song touched his heart and caused him to weep..
I remember when my mom would play this album when i was younger. Now at 25 i just UNDERSTAND NOW
Your dad is the best! He seems like an incredible person.
Pronounced Lie-Zell. Great video! Love your dad's reaction!!!! Also, Jill is a poet and spoken word artist. So yes, it's something done in rap but also in poetry. It's all intertwined. She is one of the top of the top of her craft.
Jill vocals are unmatched ❤ she always gives me chills.. one of the greatest vocalist
I literally screamed YASSS! when that man started crying 😂😂😂 That's the power of Jill Scott!! I feel you boo! 💯❤️
Your dad was really meditating on Jill Scott’s words. He was feeling every word😊
I love your Dad.❤️💕his music appreciation is great!
One of my favorite soul artists. Her, Erika and Lauren are the epitome of modern soul IMO. I love all of them equally.
I love it!!!! Jill is amazing (it’s Ly-Zelle)
Listen to Le BOOM VENT SUITE on her “Light of the sun album. I’m sure your dad will love the transitions and instrumentation.
The first 3 mins of that 9 min song are the best part. If it was a single, that would become the radio edit. I think Making You Wait is even better. So Gone is my other fav from that album.
I love that version.
Ohhhh that’s a good one
Le boom vent suite is my favorite song
I've been to many concerts, and I can truly say that Jilly from Philly sounds the best ever in a live performance. She sounds just as she does on the album. It's so beautiful
This song was mine, and one of my partners, who passed away. I loved her deeply. Every time I hear it,I am taken back and see our love and time together play like a movie, in my mind. That is the magic of Jill Scott
I think your dad would love Samyra Joy. He would definitely be blown away by her vocals.
Ethereal...He would flip❤
I feel you pop. This song does the same thing to me 😭
Her voice is sooooo hypnotizing and soothing.
I love this! Dad had me crying! I love how he knew it was Jill after only hearing her twice before. Seeing her live is life changing. I saw her in philly. We stood outside in the pouring rain and it was MAGICAL! Thank you for starting my morning off right
I love how sensitive this man is.. he allows himself to show his emotion.. so endearing ❤️.
My favorite album of all time. I finally saw Jill live this past summer for the first time. She is absolutely amazing!
Isn't she? 1 of the best performances I've seen.
Agreed. Saw her years ago with Maxwell. Best show ever.
I haven’t seen her live yet and I’m from Philly too, can’t wait to see her live ❤
Dad is so sweet 😊
Jill comes from the spoken word poetry world, so that's probably the influence you're hearing more than rapping. If you haven't already, you should really listen to the live version of "He Loves Me" from her Experience Jill Scott: 826 album, even if you don't do it on the channel. Amazing performance.
The son's pleasing smile a he listens is so satisfying
I stumbled onto this and was transported right back to my first time experiencing Jill over 20 years ago. This was beautiful. I needed this. ❤️
The entire album is an absolute classic 😎
Now y’all HAVE to react to a live performance of this song! Her performance that’s titled “Jill Scott - He Loves Me (Live & Rare)!”
Jill has incredible range. Her voice is so full and rich...like a spoon of butter in your mouth. Seeing her live is sublime. This is still my favorite song of hers.
The pauses are reminiscent of a poetry flow. Which runs into rap. I love it.
As a day 1 Jill Scott fan... I LOVE. THIS! This song has been burned into my soul! You hear me! Oh the repeated plays this song got and will still get. Just as much as that album! Bless this Woman for her timesless contributions! The prose poetry and her soul piercing vocals. ❤
