The 'Made R&B Great Again' tour
EmmanuelPierrePortraits Yesssss I would go
Take Sza out and im down
I would die 😭 + Jorja Smith 😩

RuReady115 what’s wrong with sza?
Just wanna thank her mama and her daddy
I wanna thank her that she has a Filipino blood, cuz Filipinos really love music. She said that she is half Filipino if you don't know it yet.
She Identifies both black and filipino which has strong singing cultures. I love it its the perfect mix
Indeed 😊
Exactly
😂😂😂😂
Now she deserves to be called the Princess of R&B
QUEEN
Point blank period... her vocals are soo smooth😩😭
I agree
1hundred percent agree
*QUEEN of R&B

He kinda looked like he was mad lol
♥️Joi♥️ not at all he actually went to take a photo with her ☺️ is on her insta and twitter
She better preform this epic guitar solo at the Grammy's because it is truly Grammy worthy.
Maria Van Livingston
Yo, you called it!
Done
What epic solo?
You don’t play guitar do you?
That was kinda lame tho
Jamie Foxx looks scared for the R&B girls. He knows H.E.R. is a beast😂🔥
Yesss! I saw that look 👀. She ate them all up! Better bring their game cuz H.E.R. ain't playing! She's hasn't disappointed yet.
H.E.R is something else, like how you gonna sing like it’s studio recorded? Damn...🔥🔥🔥
Hans G well when you sing falsetto with no real power notes it’s quite easy!
That’s called being able to actually sing.
lol i just spit out my food u are so right
Hans G its better
Hans G i
All these low keys artist are popping!
Tasha Monique about time they get the limelight. ☝🏽
FACTS
I know first sabrina Claudia then her, no pun intended

This performance allowed the world to see her talent and no better place than the BET Awards....She’s been on fire every since and there is none like her out there right now.....I adore this young lady!!!
When she pulled the guitar, she was like “YOU HOES AINT SERIOUS” I can’t stop laughing

JaQuedia Pye Yes!
H.e.r and Daniel caesar
H.E.R. and Daniel Caesar ending their performance with "Nothing Even Matters" by Lauryn Hill 😍😍😍😍

She does that at her concerts too 🤗
Perfection.

KittieKat221* the note she ended on at 1:35 ish. I cummed in my pants. Oh my goodness.
KittieKat221* H.E.R. & Daniel Ceaser are amazing!
KittieKat221* I never heard of her, am I sleep?
KittieKat221* trust me I was thinking why havnt they posted fgs
DRM Ossy 😂😂😂😂
She's the 'Prince' of this generation for real.. She's multi-talented, can play multiple instruments, and is beautiful ❤️ extremely talented
It’s princess not prince a prince is a young man
Dude she’s talking about the great PRINCE, the musician and singer/songwriter!!
More like Prince and Jimi Hendrix
No. She's H.E.R. self.
LOL she made two mistakes on Guitar during this performance. She is a good musician but no where NEAR Prince.
Jamie Foxxx cried becaused he knows that Prince was reincarnated as H.E.R. Once in a decade talent.
Love the ending with the Lauryn Hill and D'Angelo shout out!
Okoye Robin frfr, God I felt like I was back in the 90's love Her man
What song by Lauryn?
Nothing Even Matters Ft. D'Angelo
Had me grinning from ear to ear
YAAAASSS!
Prince would definitely love her !
That's what I was thinking wow I started crying
Thought about that when she pulled out that guitar to show off her limitlessness.
Prince would be proud, and would have done the same thing.
Her own way of saying you can't typecast me. My talent is too big for that.
Agree
Yess he would have adored her..my heart got soooo sad because he is no longer her😪
*here
Got chills when she whipped out that electric guitar❤️ ugh those runs.
Man H.E.R and Chloe x Halle are just a breath of fresh air in the music industry..Young, Beautiful talented Black Queens #ThatBlackGirlMajic
And playing their own instruments! Where was this in the 90’s???
Sexist thing is a confident women playing instruments and killing the vocals at the same damn time. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Absolutely agree
Swear giving me Alicia keys vibes
Sexiest?
*sexiest
I’m just glad that sounds exactly like she does on her record 😫😱
Betterrrrrr........
O'mya Rose omg me and you both!!!! I’m like finally😩 now I can finally go to a concert and not be disappointed. I’m sooo happy she came out. I bump her music faithfully
I died when Dani came, my two favorite people.
Jamie Foxx's expression at the end of H.E.R performance W.A.S PRICELESS 👳👍💖🔥
YES!!!!👍🏿💖🔥
she did amazing, glad she finally getting the recognition she deserves
I'm GLAD too
Absolutely talented and beautiful
Kingly Cortney 👍
Shit makes me wanna take vocal lessons
me to girl
Tori Marie hell yeah
Go for it. You won't be disappointed
Thanks matt matt96.
@@VictoriaMarie08 😀 No problem.
If Prince was Still Here, he would had Sign her immediately
Toronto boy
I love all her performances that involve the guitar 🎸 she’s truly gifted
Daniel Casear and H.E.R💜
Tasha Monique no she’s mine
Best Performance of the Whole Night!
She killed! None of these industry singers have a thing on her.
Raw Talent!
Steph and Jaie better than Beyonce by far. Authentic individual.
The viewer34virgo no need to bring down someone else. Beyonce got vocals for YEARS and so does H.E.R stop spreading hate.
The viewer34virgo H.E.R is good, H.E.R is GREAT!!! However she’s no where near Bey vocally not even her backup singers. Let’s just keep the comment section civil & if you must compare do it with someone in her generation & remotely close to her vocal caliber 😂💀😂
Facts
Steph and Jaie nicki stiff whine was
I need that guitar solo to play in a loop
I cant believe I am today years old when I discovered H.E.R. Such a talent!!
Who else wishes they could just see other celebritie's reaction in the audience whilst she was singing?!
At the end of the video, Jamie Fox has that look like "It's ova for y'all".
Adam Jiminez yup I saw it too lol I’m sure he loved it he’s a musician as well
Alia Kanwal Elma Lmao Ikr I Was Just Thinking This
The camera wanted to "FOCUS" on her 😂😂
Go check her black girls rock performance..
I wanna go to a H.E.R concert .
Rare Honey it's amazing 100% definitely do that
Rare Honey it will change your LIFE. She sounds a lot better live than on her album.
Kyman Caviness
I would like to go, too....but they have her opening for Chris Brown. I'll wait.
Rare Honey. Me too!
I met her last night at Chris brown’s concert in Houston, she has a meet and greet
H. E. R and Daniel Caesar - Sooo Chilled!!! 😍😘💥💙... Another Lauryn Hill in line😘😍
She legit smashed that guitar solo😳
Now THIS is a performance. No ☕ no 🌳.
chowder125 okkkk
chowder125 yes indeed honey
...no pink lemonade
My dumb self said “no tea, no tree” 😂
Mink no tea no shade lol
This is my first time actually giving her a listen..when she pulled that guitar out and shredded she earned my respect as a artist.
I guess Aretha Franlink didn't earn your respect because she didn't pull out a guitar...
Same! I love raw talent
Look up Gabi Wilson on The today show
She been doing this
Aretha did her thing not only vocally, but she did her thing on the 🎹. Now, It's refreshing to see young women fully clothed so that we can FOCUS on their raw talent. I'm proud of my Bay Area Sis.
MsPark that was a peak of it look up all her Guitar performances like when shit sung make it rain
They both won the Grammy for best R&B performance and it WAS WELL DESERVED!!! They both reminded me that Real R&B is still alive
ICON!! She Has All the Makings of a LEGEND
Her and Ella Mai 🔥🙌🏾😍🤤
Meggy Deloatch . Her is a much better singer. That weak ass vocal performance Ella Mai put on was a let down because I believed in her. Her band made her performance
Venus Spacey it doesn’t matter there’s no competition in r&b just music for the heart 😬🙃
Meggy Deloatch yes they need to do a collab asap. With the melodic runs and all that good R&B shit. It would be an instant classic
dont you ever
XTrendecent X even tho it’s no competition in r&b, it does matter. That’ll be “like” watching Fantasia and Ashanti sing a song live together. (Like, meaning not exactly the same.)
An artist that wants you FOCUS on her talents and not her looks. CLAPS HANDS!
💯👌
Yup and the fact that she is beautiful is just an added bonus lol
Exactly
Some people are just meant to share their gifts and talents in this way. We are blessed to have them.
Yes 🙌🏾
Music needed H.E.R. Seriously....Thank you
Yes lord
The way she grab the guitar and started playing was Arts itself 2:00 - 2:10 she looks like the lady of liberty in music
YESSSS
She's been waiting for this opportunity a long time
Tydrekus Robinson she deserves this time too!
Tydrekus Robinson you can tell ❤️❤️❤️
Best Part will always be such a vibe! Her and Daniel Cesar’s vibe matched perfectly on that song.
At that moment J cole realized he had to get a co-sign 😂 5:58
If her and jazmine sullivan ever do a collab i will pass out!
Sharde Charles i would flat line.....
They’d be planning my funeral. 😂
Dalyia Morales 😂😂😂😂 mines too
All edges snatched off
Sharde Charles would be so amazing
Vocals to die for!!! Shivers!!!!! I'm so happy to see women like HER & ELLA MAI fully clothed and letting their talent take over! No distractions no illusions just pure vocal musical art.
Nia B. Agreed
agree but “fully clothed” was unnecessary
Nia B. 💯
Give props to woman vocalists without thin veiled misogyny challenge*, can Y'all do that?? For once?
Ron Pascal I get what they’re saying fully clothed though. Cause it’s the truth. Some of these females have on almost nothing and are doing the most on stage but not showcasing their actual talent. If they even really have any.
sheesh she sings those vocals without any effort at all! Amazing😍😍😍😍
I've watched this like 1300 times already. She is just unreal. She hot and she cold. Just damn. Stank face the whole time watching especially when she plucked the hell out that guitar!!!! Come get me JESUS!!!! 😍💜😍💜🙌🙌🙌
it means something great to me that the entire audience was captivated & she literally has layers of clothes on.
Lady Lyrics amen to that!
She has on clothes, not shaking her ass, and she plays instrument. Yes, we can Focus on her talent. H.E.R & Daniel Cesar Thank You for bringing R&B back. Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell would be proud.
undine miller you just said a mouth full. The way a real woman should carry herself. Beautiful and talented as well. She has it all. Just couldn't believe how some of the women was dressed. No respect what so ever. Very sad...
Yes!
So true
YES! 100% agreed. This is how new school R&B is done..
Oooooh my goodness, bring it back.....Motown...Marvin & Tammy an iconic duo.
Tina Evans They have limited talent. If they had to stand still with rollers in their hair no one would pay the any attention. Sexy sells and talent doesn't. This is why when H.E.R came out she didn't show her face. She wanted ppl to fall for her voice not face ( beautiful young lady).
She needs Grammys, BET Awards, Lifetime achievement, all accolades after this performance! ♥️♥️ Prince vibes, soul, neo soul, jazz, all of the above.
What a classy and extremely talented young lady! I’m in AWE!
When she started playing the guitar I damn near caught feelings
Chris Bradley Jr. Broooo I'm trying to tell you 💯
Didn't even know she knew how to play guitar. She has hella talent.
*100% REAL R&B* !!!
*Real Vocals, Real Talent* !
*She Sounds The Same In Person* !
*This Will Be Added To My Wedding Playlist* !
*New Generation This Is What True Talent Looks & Sounds Like* !!!!
YoLo 👍can i sub
TRU!!!!!!
lemme check out your playlist
YoLo Thought I Was The Only One With A Wedding Playlist Omg 😂😂
** better in person
I love this performance! When she plays the guitar, she reminds me of Prince.
Her voice gives me chills 💕
Yes, me, too 💕
Shout out to being fully clothed on stage, showcasing your talents with your raw voice and musical instruments 🎸 and no smoke and mirrors. No shade to your faves because their probably mine too, but this performance reeked of classiness and pure talent.
Candie P Yeessss!!!! Fully clothed, no gyrating all over the place. STAY CLASSY!
Candie P clothes or skin doesn't sing. You could be naked or clothed, if you can sang you can sang. You can be naked or fully clothed and sound amazing or horrific. Its abt vocals, not clothing. No offense
foo 83 No offense taken, but when you have a true talent, you don’t need to distract your audience by throwing your bare 🍑 or full bust 👙in their face. Just my opinion 🤷🏾♀️.
Candie P it's not a distraction when it's pure talent. Even being nude or clothe. If you can sang with an a not an I, you can sang. Some people want to be sexy af the same time. Clothing doesn't determine vocal ability. Just imagine an artist that you know can blow being partially nude. Their still gonna be able to blow.💯💯💯
foo 83 that’s the beauty part of opinions. You have yours and I have mine. Neither of us are convincing the other to sway their opinion so...🤷🏾♀️
I got chills!!! 😍😍😍😍 I need her and Jazmine I'd lose it!!Oh...Luke James, PJ Morton, Chicago Kid..a few others.
herFLYness79 RIGHT ! Like uuughhh its like please God allow this beautiful thing happen ✨
Yesss I love me some PJ Morton
Love me some luke james❗😩
herFLYness79 please add yebba to this list.
I was thinking the same thing about Jazmine!!
i love this perfomance 'cause when she's singing she is a boss and when she's playing the guitar she is A F****** BOSS
2020, almost 2021 and I still come back to watch this performance. H.E.R is an amazing talented, beautiful woman. She is a true role model for young girls.
She sings effortlessly😭❤
Liking my own comment since no one will.
I jumped up and screaming "hell yeah girl!!" When she grabbed the guitar
Incredible Tom yaaaaaassssssss 😍 😍❤️ that part
She drips of eloquence and appeal unlike most artists today, what an energy. Damn ✨ 👑
The duet part was so cute I didn't want to look away.
When they switched to nothing even matters i felt chills evey where. Took me back to when my mom use to play lauryn hill when i was little.yasss girl u are so beatiful and his voice is amazing
Kay L'amour Yes girl!🙌
damnnnnnnnn this girl is talented killed it with that guitar female Prince her perfornance was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
When she pulled out that guitar i literaly fell in love and im not even a guitar fan. But its the whole package. Voice, style, mystery, and the art
That String Symphony was the business. All women no less. Kudos to H E R on her Grammy winS.
I'm 40 and decided to go to the Chris Brown concert on 7/3/2018 in Atlanta. I never heard of this woman. I haven't listened to the radio since 2010. But I was blown away by her performance. She can sing and play many instruments. I thought R&B was dead. H.E.R. brought it back alive for me. Thank you. I will keep focusing on you.
Jeremy M. Thompson hahahaa this should be top comment. Nailed it lol btw do u listen to the radio now?
Amen ✨
Rebecca VoZ with streaming services and TH-cam there is literally no need to listen to the radio. I'll be 42 next month and I haven't listened to the radio since I filled up my first iPod. A friend linked me to this video and I'll be sure to check H.E.R. out more.
Age ain't nothing but a state of mind, enjoy yourself, enjoy your life, we only got one
Jeremy M. Thompson yes me too, I'm just now getting into her and this is my first time seeing her perform. I'm blown away at her incredible talent.
This was phenomenal. Young people...THIS is music. No profane rap lyrics, no excessive showmanship...Just a couple of well-written songs performed by true artists. If you aren't going to recognize or give artists like these two proper exposure than you can't make a point of cultural appropriation by other artists. We have some really good and talented R&B and Neo-Soul artists out there that can be heard. For some reason we can't keep hip-hop out of our heads.
Couldn't agree more! I'm 15 and I feel like I'm trapped in the wrong generation. Can't wait for the R&B/Soul comeback and rap 'music' will die soon enough.
@Lukas Needham ?
Lukas Needham I mean the rap that people listen to these days which consists of cursing and putting down women, not all rap music. I do appreciate some rap artists, but most don’t deserve fame, especially people like Cardi B.
@@loopstationyt honeslty im 16
Lukas Needham Old school rap is music. This recent shit just don’t cut it sorry
If Prince had a daughter..
💖she would be HER..
Always come back to this... she’s a true artist, musician. ❤️ Daniel can write his behind off as well!
A female Prince ooh this is music it's about time we finally hearing music again . I Love HER wow
TONI CHISHOLM I just said that! I had NO idea she played as well!
TONI CHISHOLM This came up when I was listening to a Willow Smith playlist (another underrated talent), and I was like, oh, ok, she's the female version of Prince!! This performance was absolutely everything!!
Nobody is. The Artist ,but she is clearly prince influenced
TONI CHISHOLM Yes! I can't wait for a second album from her. She bad... Picked up that guitar Prince popped in my mind quick...
TONI CHISHOLM The first time I heard her was three months ago on my local station 102.9 KBLX. I must truly say that she’s bringing real music back. This chick is bad. And, she is from Vallejo California which is 25 minutes away from me. I had no idea until my sister told me. I haven’t listened to the radio since 2008. Actually, since 2009 until I heard her voice. It’s better than the autotune crap that we have out today.
Love H.E.R.🌹🌹🌹
Me too
Just watched a video of H.E.R. at 10 years old performing on the Today show. Wow. She’s a prodigy.
I've never seen anyone make a curtain look so good. Where can I get one in every color!?😍😍😍😍
Lmfaoo
Lord have mercy 😊 Amazing 🙏
😭😭😭
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣
She's that cup of tea that soothes your soul.!
Like a saturday morning not going anywhere...just open up your window letting the fresh breeze in with a hot cup of tea in your hand and sitting by the window the wind slowly caresses your face as the sun is telling you hi you're processing of taking the first sip...and just watching nature...man that's how she makes me feel.
She's so underrated she's better than any of these other artist out here
Multitalented vocal female, beautiful voice, love the vibrato, natural without the fan blowing
She is a musician
We need a Bruno Mars and H.E.R. collab asap
We finally have our lady version of Prince...👏👏👏👏👏
Steez1 Megalodon yes I was just saying the same thing
Mika M Yes indeed Mika, her voice and tempo reminds me of Prince; and the guitar just added the Cherry on top for me.
Steez1 Megalodon Exactly!
Umm... Janelle Monaé
marquise Washington they really just saying stuff because this girl is SLIGHTLY stylish
I love how she just glides across the stage! #BlackGIrlMagic
I was not expecting Daniel to come out 😭❤️
I don’t doubt that this baby was raised up in the church. Listen to those vocals. That’s a church voice 😂 You better SAAAANNNNGGGGG! 💕
Yes, he can sanggggg!!!! 💕💕😂😂
