I know because I have the same voice teacher that Ledisi had while she was still in Oakland. I’m Not bragging, just stating the facts. And not she’s trained in all genres of music not just classical music.
@Tanya Gladden She's already done Broadway in a little thing called The Color Purple, she came out of cabaret and theater in the SF Bay Area, Where she was also a headliner in Jazz Clubs there and all over NoCal. She is a force of nature live!
NB in DC I want to say it’s because she’s cursed. In the years she gets nominated, there’s always a bigger artist and song that trumps her. But there definitely have been years where she was robbed. She should’ve won Best R&B Performance and Song in 2012 for “Pieces of Me” and Best Traditional R&B Performance for “All The Way” and R&B Album for Let Love Rule in 2018. And if she had to only win one of these, it should’ve been for “All The Way.” She lost to Childish Gambino for “Redbone,” and nothing about that song was remotely traditional.
Maybe I’m wrong, but she doesn’t need a Grammy. Grammies are for these « commercial songs » with no soul. She is a true artist, that’s all what matters 👍🏼 (Sorry for my English, I’m French speaker)
This is an example of how to totally dominate the stage. Ledisi rocks! Study her face. Her eyes. She was so in the zone, that when she had finished singing, and the audience started applauding, it took her a moment to snap out of it. You just got schooled. Mesmerizing performance. It doesn't get any better than this. I still haven't snapped out of it.
Listennn. Ledisi ripped that stage!!!! This performance is unbelievable & perfect!! I felt every word & so did the crowd by their faces!!! God gave her a gift of song & wow it’s powerful!! Just wow!!! I’m speechless!!!!😲😲😲😲🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Debbie Rogers I am a big fan of Ledisi , binge listening to her and buying her music. But to some extent I'm gonna have to agree with you on this video ; this deeply emotional, wonderfuly executed singing/acting perfomance brought tears to my eyes and may be one of her best so far in my opinion (by the way in a genre she pleasantly surprised me with) .
@@MarvinParksAmericanJazzSinger I was already well aware of that, you must have completely ignored the fact that I never once said it was Nina's song, I only referred to 'her' version.
It’s amazing how far Ledisi has come. From her rinky dink club days in SF and Oakland to now. When I first heard her live, this was back in the mid 90s, I was taken aback to what I was hearing. I thought to myself, what is this incredible vocalist doing playing in this hole in the wall joint. She should be a household name. With that said, now that she’s this established big star, I kinda miss being able to see her in more intimate venues.
I was thinking the same thing when she performed at a small lounge in Santa monica now she is big time. I always knew her artistry would get the recognition it deserved!! Go Ledisi! Go
Oh. My. God! I've loved this sing since the first time I heard it. Then I heard Nina sing it and I was again, blown away. But Ledisi...holy moly! I can't even describe it. Just...wow!
I was just curious because I saw her on the Kelly Clarson Show. I was skepticall because this song has been interpreted by so many greats, but I failed to find the words to describe the feelings this performance brings me. Damn woman! I am in tears!
Beautifully done.. she has a powerhouse voice…😢…she’s at the top for me her performance of this beautiful song… &Cynthia Ervio is #1 for me she sang it in french…. This english version is beautiful too
ledisi is one of the biggest and brightest voices in music i learned of her through her working with prince and have been a fan of her music ever since .
I have watched this so many times in complete awe! I am absolutely mesmerized by her talent… Such a wonderful gift and I’m so happy that she finds it worthy to share with us!🎵❤️
Ne me quitte pas Il faut oublier Tout peut s'oublier Qui s'enfuit déjà Oublier le temps Des malentendus Et le temps perdu À savoir comment Oublier ces heures Qui tuaient parfois À coups de pourquoi Le cœur du bonheur Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas But if you stay I'll make you a day Like no day has been Or will be again We'll sail on the sun We'll ride through the rain We'll talk to the trees And worship the wind And if you go I'll understand Give me just enough love To hold in my hand If you go away If you go away If you go away If you go away If you go away Like I know you will You must have the world To stop turning till You return to me If you ever do What good is love Without loving you? I can tell you now As you turn to go I'll be dying slowly Till the next hello Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas But if you stay I'll make you a night Like no night has been Or will be again We'll sail on you smile I'll ride on your touch And talk to your eyes That I love so much Then if you go I'll understand Leave me just enough love To hold in my hand If you go away If you go away If you go away If you go away If you go away Like I know you must There will be nothing left In this world to trust Just an empty room Full of empty space Like that empty look I see on your face I'd've been the shadow on your dark If I though it would Have kept you by my side Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas
Well the oceans just sent a title waive my way. It been almost 3 years after my divorce and I was so damn angry I didn’t shed 1 single tear and then this happened. This was every single thing I felt and I was to angry to say. Such is life..
I still remember the disrespect and straight up fowl move from Beyonce for taking the place that belonged to Ledisi to sing Take my Hand Precious Lord at the Grammys dressed in a sheer dress with men surrounding her in a Freemason ritual. Ledisi sang it as Mahalia Jackson in the film Selma. That was a moment that should have belonged to Ledisi. But God is great bc Beyonce could never have what Ledisi has ...the gift of song. And Ledisi sings with honor and praise and with class. 👏 Bravo. Ledisi is the real deal. Take notes Beyonce....this is what greatness sounds like when you don't sell your soul. This is singing without compromise. 💕🎵🙏
This was indeed beautiful. Apparently, that producer &/or audience got what it deserved at that time. It did not impact Ledisi's gift. No need to compare. What God has for you it is for you.
Thank you so much, Ledisi recently released ‘Ledisi Sings Nina’ with the Metropole Orkest so I enjoyed seeing this live. This song is included on that album I listen to it on iTunes.
Just love this, a fabulous much recorded song given a live performance surely destined to remain unequalled for a long, long time. And yet just another highlight in a mesmerising BBC Prom. Bravo!
I’m astounded that no one knows Ledisi is classically trained. She studied opera and classical music, so she’s actually in her element here.
I was aware of that Dominique Deveraux. It's nice of you to let people know.
I know because I have the same voice teacher that Ledisi had while she was still in Oakland. I’m Not bragging, just stating the facts. And not she’s trained in all genres of music not just classical music.
I just purchased tickets to see her at the Cobb Energy Center in Georgia. I can't wait!
It's NOT surprising at all.
Now that I didn't know.
I’ve watched this 20 times today.. simply beautiful....
April Wright Same!
Me too 😂
Someone cast Ledisi in a Broadway musical. The campaign for her Tony begins now.
Oh yes darling, I'm following your lead !!! ;-)
I am here for it!!!
@Tanya Gladden She's already done Broadway in a little thing called The Color Purple, she came out of cabaret and theater in the SF Bay Area, Where she was also a headliner in Jazz Clubs there and all over NoCal. She is a force of nature live!
@@ebonywahine Oh wow! I didn't know that. Was she a lead? Or understudy for Cynthia/Jennifer? Or a different cast?
Noooooo! 👎 That's not her lane.
She’s an incredible story teller and powerhouse vocalist 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love the way you put that.
This is absolutely beautiful. I just lost my fiancé and listening to this just broke my heart all over again. Rest peacefully Marty ❤️💔
May the memory of your love keep your heart soft as you mourn. Hugs and hugs.
I Am So Very Sorry For Your Loss❤️❤️
Who is watching this in June 2024? A Yessssss🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘💖💖
🥰🥰🥰
Right here with you
Well October
I don’t understand why Ledisi doesn’t have a Grammy 🤦🏾♀️😳
NB in DC I want to say it’s because she’s cursed. In the years she gets nominated, there’s always a bigger artist and song that trumps her. But there definitely have been years where she was robbed. She should’ve won Best R&B Performance and Song in 2012 for “Pieces of Me” and Best Traditional R&B Performance for “All The Way” and R&B Album for Let Love Rule in 2018. And if she had to only win one of these, it should’ve been for “All The Way.” She lost to Childish Gambino for “Redbone,” and nothing about that song was remotely traditional.
It’s not her time yet. She’ll get a few soon enough. These things take time , hard/smart work and immense amounts patience/ positive thinking.
Maybe I’m wrong, but she doesn’t need a Grammy.
Grammies are for these « commercial songs » with no soul.
She is a true artist, that’s all what matters 👍🏼
(Sorry for my English, I’m French speaker)
Me either!! "In the Morning " was pure fire...
Multiple Grammy's at this point!!
This is an example of how to totally dominate the stage. Ledisi rocks! Study her face. Her eyes. She was so in the zone, that when she had finished singing, and the audience started applauding, it took her a moment to snap out of it. You just got schooled. Mesmerizing performance. It doesn't get any better than this. I still haven't snapped out of it.
She floors me every time! She delivers above and beyond I almost cried.
I cry everytime listening to this, she put her ENTIRE soul into this performance.
And some of mine too.
Master class 💫
Oh yes redrob1881 !!!
You ain't neva lied.
Listennn. Ledisi ripped that stage!!!! This performance is unbelievable & perfect!! I felt every word & so did the crowd by their faces!!! God gave her a gift of song & wow it’s powerful!! Just wow!!! I’m speechless!!!!😲😲😲😲🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That last breath was everything!!!!!!!!!!
I like this side of Ledisi!!! Who said she was a one trick pony? Sister Soul just slayed across the pond.
Absolutely 💯
Wow wow wow! As good as they are, Ledisi's albums dont do her justice.
Debbie Rogers What’s your favorite Ledisi album? To date, mine is STILL The Truth.
@@CeliniacForLife same!!!
Debbie Rogers I am a big fan of Ledisi , binge listening to her and buying her music. But to some extent I'm gonna have to agree with you on this video ; this deeply emotional, wonderfuly executed singing/acting perfomance brought tears to my eyes and may be one of her best so far in my opinion (by the way in a genre she pleasantly surprised me with) .
You should listen to her Jazz album "Feeling Orange Again but Blue Sometimes". You can find it on TH-cam! or her first album "Soulsinger".
Thank you @@Ebooni1 , I'm going to do that!
I love this song!!! Marvelous rendition. It's almost like a soprano version of Nina Simone's.
It's not Nina Simone's. It's Jacques Brel's. Nina just has the most widely known and(rightfully) well regarded performance of it.
@@MarvinParksAmericanJazzSinger I was already well aware of that, you must have completely ignored the fact that I never once said it was Nina's song, I only referred to 'her' version.
Imagine waking up in the morning and being able to do *THIS!* Ms. Ledisi can do anything, vocally. This is so pretty, Sis.
One of her best performance ever!
It’s amazing how far Ledisi has come. From her rinky dink club days in SF and Oakland to now. When I first heard her live, this was back in the mid 90s, I was taken aback to what I was hearing. I thought to myself, what is this incredible vocalist doing playing in this hole in the wall joint. She should be a household name.

I was thinking the same thing when she performed at a small lounge in Santa monica now she is big time. I always knew her artistry would get the recognition it deserved!! Go Ledisi! Go
Never heard it sang this way I’m pleasantly surprised.Jacques Brel could break you heart with words
Wow! A powerful performance. Job well done.
Oh. My. God! I've loved this sing since the first time I heard it. Then I heard Nina sing it and I was again, blown away. But Ledisi...holy moly! I can't even describe it. Just...wow!
Never heard of her before , that was a sublime performance 💯👏🏾👏🏾🎶🎶🎶🎶✨😌🎙️
Oh my goodness, you have discovered a true gem! Enjoy the journey that is Ledisi. She has also sung with Rachelle Ferrell and Lalah Hathaway.
I cannot stop listening to this... absolutely amazing
I was just curious because I saw her on the Kelly Clarson Show. I was skepticall because this song has been interpreted by so many greats, but I failed to find the words to describe the feelings this performance brings me. Damn woman! I am in tears!
Omg This is how you do it! Yes ma'am! This was everything!
And you know it!
Transcendent Performance Ledisi! ❤️
Best performance to date. Love a versatile performer! Hats off Miss Ledisi!
I can’t stop listening to this. Bravo 👏🏼
OMG this woman is amazing. Such a raw powerful singer. Ledisi takes you to another place with her performance. Would be a dream to see her live.
She is a masterful and amazing singer. I am very impressed! Probably the top 10 who came out 2000-now, superb voice! 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Beautifully done.. she has a powerhouse voice…😢…she’s at the top for me her performance of this beautiful song… &Cynthia Ervio is #1 for me she sang it in french…. This english version is beautiful too
This girl is amazing! What a gift that has been undergirded with amazing technique!
Ledisi Dear God. I have no words.
Wow amazing vocal performance! Is there anything Ledisi can’t sing?!
so wonderful, voice from heaven, one of the most beautiful performances I have ever heard, g-d bless you Ledisi and Jacques Brel -composer
That was sooooo beautiful...made me cry.
Beautiful Rendition ...Bravo from Malaysia
ledisi is one of the biggest and brightest voices in music i learned of her through her working with prince and have been a fan of her music ever since .
I've always wanted to sing this song... nevermind now...
😂😂😍😍 SAME!!!!
Nooo fullbeauty, do you boo !!!
I've listened to it so many times that I know all the words. And I don't even speak French.🤣
Girl you betta sang yo' song!
This song is so BEAUTIFUL!!!! And a STORY..... of my LOVE Life so Emotionally I Connected to it Instantly
The literal definition of captivating 😮 the audience were spellbound 🥰
I have watched this so many times in complete awe! I am absolutely mesmerized by her talent… Such a wonderful gift and I’m so happy that she finds it worthy to share with us!🎵❤️
Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit déjà
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
À savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
À coups de pourquoi
Le cœur du bonheur
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
But if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again
We'll sail on the sun
We'll ride through the rain
We'll talk to the trees
And worship the wind
And if you go
I'll understand
Give me just enough love
To hold in my hand
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
Like I know you will
You must have the world
To stop turning till
You return to me
If you ever do
What good is love
Without loving you?
I can tell you now
As you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly
Till the next hello
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
But if you stay
I'll make you a night
Like no night has been
Or will be again
We'll sail on you smile
I'll ride on your touch
And talk to your eyes
That I love so much
Then if you go
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
To hold in my hand
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
Like I know you must
There will be nothing left
In this world to trust
Just an empty room
Full of empty space
Like that empty look
I see on your face
I'd've been the shadow on your dark
If I though it would
Have kept you by my side
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Wow I didn't know that Ledisi knew classical music, I am impressed, because I know that she can sing, Thank you for sharing this video with us.
Amazing for sure. I love ledisi
This girl is simply "Amazing "!!!!
Well the oceans just sent a title waive my way. It been almost 3 years after my divorce and I was so damn angry I didn’t shed 1 single tear and then this happened. This was every single thing I felt and I was to angry to say.
Such is life..
Eu estou assistindo, é muito lindo. A voz é belíssima. ❤❤❤ amei👏👏👏👏👏
She is so phenomenal ❤
@Ledisi I am one of your biggest fans....I love you.
Absolutely STELLAR! Nina is smiling down on Ledisi. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I still remember the disrespect and straight up fowl move from Beyonce for taking the place that belonged to Ledisi to sing Take my Hand Precious Lord at the Grammys dressed in a sheer dress with men surrounding her in a Freemason ritual.

I'm crying
I have never been so blown away😮😮❤❤❤the best the best. Rea leboha thank you ❤❤❤

All I want to know is CAN I BUY THIS SONG and why is this not on Spotify? I’ve listened to this over and over for DAYS!!
It is now. 😁
Check SoundCloud
Why do I cry every time?
Whoa! I had no ideal she can actually sing. Most artists " perform," but this lady can sing. Absolutely magical and magnificent 👍 👏 👏
Thank you so much, Ledisi recently released ‘Ledisi Sings Nina’ with the Metropole Orkest so I enjoyed seeing this live. This song is included on that album I listen to it on iTunes.
Bravo 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾☔️👏🏾
