She is one of the best. She is in the same category as Whitney, Mariah, Kelly Price, and her homegirl Deborah Cox. Her power and soul is too dope and on point. I wish she got more marketing and Grammy,BET, and AMA performances.
Tamia still did an excellent job! The thing is that Tamia was blessed with a beautiful and clear voice. It's all about vocal beauty and her beautiful timbre alone. She doesn't have a shouty and raspy tone that you hear some soul-singers have. She has a beautiful and powerful voice like Mariah and Whitney. Her voice may be light, but her belts are powerful and beautiful. She's such a great singer, but so underrated. I love her!
I'm curious as to what y'all wanted Aretha to do? Get up and give a standing ovation? Fall out and roll around? She was pleasantly sitting there bobbing her head and vibing to the performance and y'all think she was being rude? Chile, I...
I just wish they'd slow the tempo down to Tamia's groove She's placing it at a more laid back tempo but the drummer, musicians aren't following or accompanying her tempo at least at the beginning
Envogue would be proud of her. I think she did a great job. They would feel good knowing that she did it, because she's great and on point. Not the way they do it but the vocals are still there. I love it. I want to listen to the original now.
I think most people expect to hear something similar when they hear a cover of someone's song. First of all Tamia is Canadian and you can tell it when she sings, but she can do plenty of things with her voice Aretha never could. She has a tone it's just different than Patti or Aretha. She's not a shouter which u can't say for the other two. I think it just sounds different...not bad but different.
Tamia would have been as well known and marketable as Whitney and Maria. Her health held her back. She can't tour, just guest spots, etc. Plus due to technology, artists can't sell their music anymore. They make their money mostly from appearances now. Hence those multi-hundred dollar tickets.
@thruthseeker83 ok but what about when hateretha (yes i tried it lol shout out to pattilahelle) did the same thing to jennifer hudson when she sang never loved a man! they gave her a standing ovation! she just sat there. she also did the same thing when patti sang aint no way!
Aretha up there showing no respect at all!!! Tamia did an amazing job...! She can't sing the song like Aretha did but still and all a very solid tribute. Anytime you're being honored, be grateful. It's a tribute hell!!! U know how many ppl wish for this😅
Sam T. I would. Especially longevity wise. Her voice is still amazing in 2019 after being around since the 90’s. And live she’s very consistent over the almost 30 years she’s been around ( she still has her range).
This girl can sing but she is no Whitney Houston, Whitney Houston in her prime was a beasttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt. TH-cam 80s and 90s whitney. Saying that Tamia is very underrated
I love Tamia but I think they shouldve had EnVogue sing it cuz their version is way better and Dawn sings the hell out of this song!! but thats just my opinion.
Aretha was completely unimpressed and I don't blame her. Tamia's voice cannot deliver such a soulful song. It takes more than delivering precise notes to be a cold singer. She has no tone to her voice in my opinion and there were several flat notes. I imagine that Aretha's lack of enthusiasm affected her delivery. Bless her for trying. I'm sure Aretha sat there thinking of several other voices she would have preferred to SANG that song.
Please the Queen is not to be topped by anyone including En Vogue. We still talk about Aretha but en vogue who, oh year they still fighting. The Queen stands alone.
who are you first of all and she is mixed do you kno that are you the damn queen .com of hair who are you to say what is gross when we dont even see a pic of you !! hun dont try it !!
The day the Queen of soul sits there giving Tamia side eye because not even God came away from envy unscathed. hehe Aretha always hated singers that she thought has voices that is natural money. Aretha always had to gimik her way to fame.
Tamia is good but - in the case of this song - not that good. On the original version, with every word and note, Aretha makes you feel and believe what she's singing about. Technically Tamia sounds good but the 'soul' is lacking. It was a bit too fast as well. En Vogue's version was better than this.
See that's why I couldn't stand Aretha she always act like she was the only female who could sing and could sing soul. Hell to me Lonette McKee the original singer of this song did it way better and so did en vogue and tamia
This is Aretha Franklin category not Whitney or Mariah...!! Lol, Whitney was the 70's - 90's and Mariah was 80's -2010, but Aretha was from the 50's - 70's
She is one of the best. She is in the same category as Whitney, Mariah, Kelly Price, and her homegirl Deborah Cox. Her power and soul is too dope and on point. I wish she got more marketing and Grammy,BET, and AMA performances.
And Chante Moore
She is in the same class with who?
whitney and mariah are in their own lanes. tamia can sing, but she's not on their level.
@@thispersonrighthere9024not even close😂
Tamia is so effortlessly on pitch and clear with her voice....super underrated but super talented
Tamia is intimidatingly beautiful. I don't think there is another artist with such striking beauty and talent. I'm overwhelmed:)
Right on!!! She's literally drop dead gorgeous
Tamia still did an excellent job! The thing is that Tamia was blessed with a beautiful and clear voice. It's all about vocal beauty and her beautiful timbre alone. She doesn't have a shouty and raspy tone that you hear some soul-singers have. She has a beautiful and powerful voice like Mariah and Whitney.

Tamia killed it. Aretha looked like she enjoyed it to me. Tamila has a BEAUTIFUL voice!!
Bravo Tamia, gorgeous and talented 💕
She just gave me chills!!
Damn Tamia!!!! Fantastic.
She killed it! This why I love this artist. No need to shed any clothes here. Talent and class.
This was all things lovely!!! That voice is amazing!!!
Tamia is so amazing, she could sing anything. 1 of my fav,singer's 🙏🤗😙👍
perfection! she sang it like its hers! come back tamia!
such a sweet pretty voice
A very beautiful sexy woman without even trying to be! #Underrated
wonderful
I've noticed my ICON MamAretha at the frow nodding... Tamia is so damn Talented and so Beautiful...HandsDown
perfect tribute
Tamia is simply stunningly beautiful as well as talented. What a combination indeed. Lucky Grant Hill!
she did her thing BRAVO
Tamia needs to put this song on her next album
Tamia is an amazing vocalist. Underrated because she has morals.
I'm curious as to what y'all wanted Aretha to do? Get up and give a standing ovation? Fall out and roll around? She was pleasantly sitting there bobbing her head and vibing to the performance and y'all think she was being rude? Chile, I...
YEEEEEEEES I have also been looking for this video for the longest time!!!! Tamia is sooooooo under rated!!!! I love her!!!!
tamia and them hips!
This Queen is the bomb yassssss
I just wish they'd slow the tempo down to Tamia's groove
She's placing it at a more laid back tempo but the drummer, musicians aren't following or accompanying her tempo at least at the beginning
She can do no wrong!!! Perfect
I loved it!!!
Envogue would be proud of her. I think she did a great job. They would feel good knowing that she did it, because she's great and on point. Not the way they do it but the vocals are still there. I love it. I want to listen to the original now.
This was a Tribute to Aretha Franklin the original artist
The original is from Sparkle sung by Lonette McKee and Aretha Franklin did the soundtrack
@@donttalktomeyoureannoying8736 I suppose I will listen to that original
she did a pretty good version of this song, nobody is going to match Aretha's performance
I like the way she played around with The Original Movie's, Aretha's and EnVogue's versions and kinda made it her own
The band was going to fast and the bg singers were way off but tamia still sounded good. She could've worked in en vogue wgen dawn left
Yeah the bg singers were 🗑
❤❤❤LoV this Song💋
Tamia is pretty and talented and she never had to sell SEX she sold her voice. I love her!
I think most people expect to hear something similar when they hear a cover of someone's song.

Arthea looks like she's good but she not me the queen of soul!!! Good job honey bun can I get some chicken ........ Tamia actually killed it
Miss Johnson i know right she looks the lleast bit impressed
Right!
classic voice
love tamia and her songs (and so beautiful) but wasnt taken by this peformance
So ungrateful A Queen? more like a princess. She couldn't even smile in appreciation how was she so honored?
Damn Aretha looks so young there, what year was this?
aretha be killing me with her looks...she did the same thing to jhud when she sung never loved a man, temia killed this!
@ThickChick50 Can you PLEASE PLEASE upload Teena Marie's performance? I've been looking for it for YEARS!
yes i noticed that,
@ThickChick50 : O what did AK and Teena Marie sing?
LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!I feel u girl u betta werk:).
The crowd was tough but Tamia did an excellent job!!
Her and Laura Londan are so beautiful
@thruthseeker83 ok but what about when hateretha (yes i tried it lol shout out to pattilahelle)
did the same thing to jennifer hudson when she sang never loved a man! they gave her a standing ovation! she just sat there. she also did the same thing when patti sang aint no way!
Aretha up there showing no respect at all!!! Tamia did an amazing job...! She can't sing the song like Aretha did but still and all a very solid tribute. Anytime you're being honored, be grateful. It's a tribute hell!!! U know how many ppl wish for this😅
that's a badass dress
I believe she did this song justice
I wouldn't put her in Whitney's or Mariah's category for sure. She's good but not that good.
Sam T. I would. Especially longevity wise. Her voice is still amazing in 2019 after being around since the 90’s. And live she’s very consistent over the almost 30 years she’s been around ( she still has her range).
The range, PITCH, CLARITY, and tone are up there with the greats. Don’t ever sleep on Tamia.
They sleep on her talent ..they really do
This girl can sing but she is no Whitney Houston, Whitney Houston in her prime was a beasttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt. TH-cam 80s and 90s whitney. Saying that Tamia is very underrated
aretha always giving someone a stank look sitting there looking like a pink bath sponge!!! Tamia did the damn thang(sang the song very well)
idgafjuslisten I'm late ass fuck but pink bath sponge. love it😂😂
Aretha was not interested.. LOL
She is always like that
@@mariahwhitneycelinejanetmadona she was
we have the same thought LOL
Tamia should've joined envogue group
I think she got some "life experience" and it is reflected in her music. I don't remember her
like this before, either .
Who agrees?
Wait a minute, people actually think this is EnVogue's song? Lmfao
I love Tamia but I think they shouldve had EnVogue sing it cuz their version is way better and Dawn sings the hell out of this song!! but thats just my opinion.
@Shadow Play in the Woods doesn't matter this comment almost 10yrs old. . .
Prettier than all the basketball wives
Beautiful voice, flawless but tempo too fast.
Aretha was completely unimpressed and I don't blame her. Tamia's voice cannot deliver such a soulful song. It takes more than delivering precise notes to be a cold singer.

Please the Queen is not to be topped by anyone including En Vogue. We still talk about Aretha but en vogue who, oh year they still fighting. The Queen stands alone.
aretha was not enjoying that
she was mad. lol
This is the wrong song for her voice.
Them back ground singers are off and although she sounds really good, she should have put a little bit more "umph" in this song.
It sounds rush. The dress is banging.
Not bad Tamia
I don't think she needed the background singers. She sounded perfect all on her own :)
she sounds good but the background singers suck, should've let en vogue do it
Yeah, I think she did a great job. Who knows why Aretha looked that way... maybe she was enjoying it. You never know.
After Envogue I can't see anyone else singing this song, they own it!!!
I actually think Lonette McKee in the original Sparkle did great singing this song without all the churchy hollering vibes
who are you first of all and she is mixed do you kno that are you the damn queen .com of hair who are you to say what is gross when we dont even see a pic of you !! hun dont try it !!
The day the Queen of soul sits there giving Tamia side eye because not even God came away from envy unscathed. hehe Aretha always hated singers that she thought has voices that is natural money. Aretha always had to gimik her way to fame.
You don't even believe this incredible silly bs you just wrote. Lol *Gimmick her way to fame? Lol During the 60s? Just sit this one out sweetie.
not she looks good and fabulous hun hair is good to !!
she's more like sister from sparkle than aretha franklin
What am I watching:-)lol no foreal what?
aretha dont gotta look bored... loking like majiin boo off dragon ball z
Lol lol lol
Lol Aretha doesn't look impressed at all
+QueenWeezy™ lol so true
her voice is always on point the song choice wasn't for her though!!
Levar Collins she's my fav but agreed!
So that's why Grant Hill was always "injured"...oh I see now.
where the sassiness into this? It should be sexy when you sing it and Ms. Franklin found it not amusing. hahahahahaha
what happened at 1:13? A little off key girl. At least she's pretty lol....
Tamia is good but - in the case of this song - not that good. On the original version, with every word and note, Aretha makes you feel and believe what she's singing about. Technically Tamia sounds good but the 'soul' is lacking. It was a bit too fast as well. En Vogue's version was better than this.
Plenty of soul. Go Tamia 👍🏼
Tamia is good but this song is too big for her. We all can agree on this I'm sure.
See that's why I couldn't stand Aretha she always act like she was the only female who could sing and could sing soul. Hell to me Lonette McKee the original singer of this song did it way better and so did en vogue and tamia
hahaha
he was always injured wasn't he? lol
Aretha was jealous lololol
Jealous of what? Lol
@@anjelheaven Cause she fine..duh
@@preteelee Girl.
Tamia is great singer but not a “ soul” singer.
FOOOL!!! Sorry you tried Tamia this song is way to big for you!!!
Some songs can be covered, but not this one. Find something else to sing Tamia.
This is Aretha Franklin category not Whitney or Mariah...!! Lol, Whitney was the 70's - 90's and Mariah was 80's -2010, but Aretha was from the 50's - 70's
frenchkiss713 Mariah didn't come out until 91-92. Also Aretha had a hit in the 80's with George Micheal.
Wrong 60 70 80 to 90 and 90 to 2000
