@@maryseo. I don't disagree that Amel, as apart of Groove Theory, was a pioneer in Neo Soul. However, you're obviously not a Goapele fan if you only mention her breakout song. Goapele has multiple albums, videos, concerts, and even movie appearance to showcase her talent. True, Goapele is not a pioneer of the genre, but she is still a better singer than Amel and has a better stage presence. Still, I would like to see them do a song together.
I enjoyed this. I don't understand all of the bad comments. No, she does not sound like the original hit records, BUT her improvisation, the band and her passion for music all came through in that performance.
When singers perform live, they don't necessarily sing exactly like the way their song was recorded. I'm sure many people including you, Twamda, would agree. Surely, you've been to live concerts and music showcases to witness this.
@@sweetsweet81 apparently its on purpose.I dont know why she sang sweet and vulnerable in the récord.then.ruins the song live trying to go a forth of a tone off key.she seems to be trying to do some Billie holiday style but It doesnt work on this song.should stick to the original Melody.it ruins the harmony
True talent. Her vocals are crisp. Trying to see who I like better her or Claudette but I haven’t heard her vocals this clear. Both women have great voices.
Amel you are the shiz nick in my book!! The band has a lot to do with her sound. Will support my humble soloist any day!! Much love to your ongoing success and career!! ❤💚💜💙💛
She will forever be awesome, but this was off and not as sharp as we remember her. She used to be fluent with them notes. She was all over the place note wise, and I mean even on a much lower key than the song is in. But I don't care, she still looks amazing and I'm just glad she still here to perform a classic.💪🏿❤💯
I have a fantasy lineup that would feel surreal and out of this world... Amel Larrieux, Jhene Aiko and Ladybug Mecca from Digable Planets. I can only imagine how uniquely beautiful they would sound flowing in syncopation. And for the record, I LOVE Amel. Always have, always will. One of the best singers-song stylists I've ever heard in my life... and I'm from Motown! LOL
LOVE Amel... Just can't get enough of her artistry. and singing LIVE is just such a jumping off place for her - she has such a musicality that is best expressed live. #REALartistry #celebratemusic
I'm a huge Amel fan. This performance didn't really capture me. There were good moments, but overall nothing to rave about. But she looks beautiful as always.
I think her goal was to use her voice the same way, maybe a jazz clarinetist, would blow their horn but use words while doing so. I believe she’s an OVERachiever!!❤❤
3.36 Amel Larrieux says "Im always trying to do something to keep it different... but im gona do this one the same for ya'll" then sings it totally different from the original... She could have atleast sang the first verse and chorus the way we all know it before singing off key and ting... i love listening to Amel's recorded stuff but her live performances are major anti climax's in the sense that you wanna hear her voice sing those songs the way you know the song and be able to sing along... but nah... Amel wants to be different... for true groove theory fans this leaves a lot to be desired... would love for her to spend a year re-learning how to sing all those great songs and then making a proper comeback maybe even reuniting with Bryce Wilson for a groove theory tour - however she would need to stay focussed on giving us fans what we want (the original sound of the song - NOT experimental vocalisation) and for all you smart asses who wanna theorize why she doesnt sing the songs properly GTFOH and learn some scales! smh
Its crazy but to me its sometimes rare for artist to get better all around when they get older .. Normally it seems they're very good in the beginning and get washed up vocally . but in this Queens case its the complete oppisite ! Her vocal ability is through the roof now that shes older ! Lol if I'm not mistaking I think she went to the same music arts as boyz ii men
Amel Larrieux not only has unique beauty and raw organic talent, but, also she's filled with sweet humble class. Such a woman!!!!!
shes fully dressed.for a r&b singer thats unique imo 😂
Facts!!!
💯 true...
ALLLLL OF THAT! So much of what MANY women lack today!
Omg those jazz arrangements are underrated
I've always wanted to see Amel and Goapele collaborate on something...I think it would be great. 😊
Edwin Stewart ah yes! That would be ideal
@@hanselfam
Indeed 😊
I like Amel, but she can't hold a candle to Goapele. Goapele's vocal range and showmanship is untouchable.
@@CABJ9776
Yeah...True . 👍🏾 I'd just like to see how their creative minds would mesh. 😉

90s R&B singers were so smooth and sexy in a very classy way! I'm so glad I grew up a teen in this decade!

@Yrt agreed. I watched the other live performance and it was the same as this one. Off key at times.

One of the beautiful black women in this world that a lot of people don’t know about
I love this performance because instead of her singing the song like the originals , she sung it in many other ranges ! Ughhh gosh shes awesome !!!!
Absolute Perfection!!
I'm sorry Tell me sounds terrible
@@OmarHudson😮
She may have been a bit off-key BUT her beautiful melodic voice more than makes up for it...
She is the epitome of class... Amazing Woman !
Would love to meet her!! Saw a few tears ago and her story..WOW!! Beautiful and incredibly talented
Absolutely
Larrieux is one of my absolute favorite vocalists. LOve this! 🔥
She murdered her own hit!
That harmony is gods gift
True talent. Her vocals are crisp. Trying to see who I like better her or Claudette but I haven’t heard her vocals this clear. Both women have great voices.
That's my girl!! Do great...her vocal range is incredible!
Are you deaf?
@@xman9190 what??
Xman hahahhaha
Loving this live performance.
love Ameil her voice so distinctive
Love this woman since day 1
Fire! Amel is in a league of her own.
This song is such a vibe and uplifting
Amel you are the shiz nick in my book!! The band has a lot to do with her sound. Will support my humble soloist any day!! Much love to your ongoing success and career!! ❤💚💜💙💛

Just problems with her lower notes, she was hitting the high notes lol 😂😭
Let's keep it real. What would've happened if this had been Amateur Night at the Apollo?
Is that her daughter?? That's beautiful!
Oh that explains why they sound so similar.
Hands down… favorite female vocalist
All of these comments about being off-key…WTH???? THIS IS LIVE. THIS IS RAW. THIS IS 🔥
I've seen her 3 times and she was awesome
Someone was off tone....but I love this girl.....great voice

RaW unbridled talent at its finest! 👏🏾❤️
She is the epitome of style!
I wish her and Bryce Wilson would find their back to each other! Groove Theory was BOMBASTIC
Loorddddxddddd I love this woman’s voice
Her vibes are just so soulful, love her!!👑🎶🎤
Watching it once again...puts me in a better mood everytime
First song was cool, Tell me was hard to listen to, it was all over the place.
I think she has natural skills. She did great
Brilliant!! I needed to start the new work year with this!!!
Yes me too, doing this now n I'm happy.
Mar.8th: Happy birthday R&B-Neo Soul Singer Amel Larrieux. Outstanding. Thank you and God bless. Thanks for the upload, Howard Theatre. Blessings
How is she so young and beautiful. I remember watching her on showtime at the Apollo , when I was a kid. God blessed her in so many ways.
Can you upload some more videos of her from that night. The ENTIRE show was ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amel blazed this set! I could sit and enter #ChillMode to this all day!
I'm a huge Amel fan. This performance didn't really capture me. There were good moments, but overall nothing to rave about. But she looks beautiful as always.
She's still gorgeous! The performance was a bit off, but everyone has a bad day.
flawless....voice and beauty
LOVE HER!!!
Love her!
Queen stay slaying it ❤️
This is awesome, such range. Loved Groove Theory and all of your albums.
We'd forget how great it was if not for TH-cam. 💫✨️
her daughter looks just like her so beautiful
Is this the same baby she was pregnant with in the "tell me video"??
@@debbiemarquis3231 yes
She so classy even when she first came out I love her . She not trying to fit in anybody box . I would love hear her collab with Solange
I've yet to really hear her sing Tell Me live really good not hating just a lil sad cause it's one of my faves
She did great a true singer! I love Weary as well:)
she is gorgeous.
Amel is a classic of soul.,
I think her goal was to use her voice the same way, maybe a jazz clarinetist, would blow their horn but use words while doing so. I believe she’s an OVERachiever!!❤❤
Excellent. 🎶💚🎶

Mama is so ill! 🔥🔥🔥
I love Amel 😍😁 my childhood crush

The background vocal mics needed to be turned down some, she was getting drowned out at some points.
incredibly beautiful forever
Old school crush
...Beyond Awesome!!...
Queen
Oh my so ❤❤❤❤
forties the new twenties,keep rocking baby! Definitely need some new music 😍🙏
I like the performance. Feels raw and organic. Don’t know why people are hating
So you FELT it. But did you HEAR it?
It was 3:56 - 4:00 for me. Like sis, u thought this was okay??
This beautiful woman looking like soldier tanlent gifted
Man, she did not do justice to her own song which was fabulous when it first came out. What happened??
Russell Williams thought I was trippin
It was bad
Russell Williams obviously its 20 years plus later. Fucking idiot
@@TEDDYZ275 Lol. Damn
I disagree she sounds good to me
Hands 🙌 down ❣️❣️❣️❣️🌹🌹🌹
Talent
Sensacional
No ma’am

She's still dope!

Ok, Cool. Thanks.
I love Amel. Own everything since Groove Theory! I also love that jumpsuit....where did you get it?
my goddess. thats her daughter playing instruments
Oooohhh nice
the band she had back on her Bravebird tour was the the tightest band she ever had., but there jamming
This performance was on point
Amor!
🔥🔥🔥
I had no idea she sang "Get Up". I vaguely remember hearing that chorus though.
❤❤❤fiah
Most artist don't sing songs live like the original recording she could have been tired from being on tour it takes a lit outta your voice too
ME LIKEE
Would love to see the whole gig. Question, are we going to get a Groove Theory reunion? Now that would be something.
Is she the original lead singer of groove theory?
Maybe they didn’t have a rehearsal ? 😳😬
