Aye Yo...Badu was over taken by this marvelous voice. When ya peers recognize, that means EVERYTHING! Alicia Keys was in amazed as well. I'm sure ERBODY was!
LEDISI IS THE BEST!!! GIVE THIS QUEEN THE CREDIT SHE DESERVES. HER PIPES ARE STONG,VOICR HEAVENLY!!! NOT EVERYONE CAN PULL OFF A CHAKA SONG. SHE KILLED IT
Ledisi has a great voice and is definitely slept on. The music industry doesn't give her credit for her work but that's ok. She's sensational without they're recognition.
Sink in? More like slaps tha shit out cha. Respectfully Chaka is a outta this world, but Rachel Ferrell is astral planes away. So it makes sense why Ledisi sounds so amazing. Great fun fact.
I went back and listened to the original song, and that's not even how it went! LOL Ledisi stuck her foot all up in that part. And like I said in my comment above, it's the clarity. She's hitting those high notes so easily. She's not sweating, she's not reaching, she's not yelling - it's right in her wheelhouse. WOW.
It's an understatement to say she tore this song up!!! She def killed it! I loved that she stayed true to the original version with a twinge of her own style. Loved it.
The only singer who can capture Chaka at her best from the 80s . Ledisi is an incredible talent . Nothing is beyond her range. This was a real treat and masterclass in how to bring a diva alive
Why hasn’t this video got a trillion views?!!!! IMMACULATE VOCAL PERFORMANCE!!! LITERALLY PITCH PERFECT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRETY OF HER PERFORMANCE! 🤌🏾🎵I can’t believe I’ve only just seen this now!! 🤦🏾♂️
i think it’s because the original video got taken down, and no one knew why. I was looking for this video for yeeeeears and was SO HAPPY when it was posted on IG. That made me RUN to TH-cam to see if the entire video was available……and woalah it came back. I hope it stays this time because it shouldn’t have been removed in the 1st place.
I promise I watch this clip about 4xs a day as music therapy. I...AM...A...LEDISI...FAN‼️LEDISI THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE TRIBUTES💪🏾👑 Such Elegance, Grace, and RARE Artistry on the PLANET, YES MRS. LEDISI HERSELF 💯‼️🎯👑
I agree the first time I heard Ledisi she blew me away! I come back to this all the time. Fabulous voice. Eryikah acknowledges that during the first song! Sensational!!!
The way I wanted to throw something at the phone. I love singers that give texture! Ledisi will give you notes, runs, tone, scats and diction all in one performance. I freaken love it
There aren’t many people who can jazz up a Chaka song but baby- Ledesi did not disappoint. She blew me away when she did the “For Color Girls” BET performance. LOVE HER!
That brief shot of Chaka Khan smiling at 1:38 being AMAZED by Ledisi is one of the most genuine smiles I've ever seen her have on film. Like...over 50 years of footage, she was THRILLED.
Ledisi vocals are unmatched! Nobody could have done a Chaka tribute better than Ledisi. Just like Chaka’s voice is compared to an instrument such as a trumpet, Ledisi is the same way.
@@wptaries I'm jealous in the best way! This is the kind of high quality performance (not to mention the gorgeous songs) that would make me teary-eyed if I'd been there. :)
Erykah represented EACH BLACK WOMAN IN CHURCH in that moment!!!
Lol yes she did I was thinking the same thing
Yes
Ledisi is a "BEAST" when it comes to her voice!!!
The way Erykah Badu stood up 🤣💯❤️
Aye Yo...Badu was over taken by this marvelous voice. When ya peers recognize, that means EVERYTHING! Alicia Keys was in amazed as well. I'm sure ERBODY was!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽♥️♥️♥️
That was that AMEN AMEN stance
Gave me chills
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yassssss Ledisi! Who’s still listening in 2024 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
It's the clarity. Ledisi is SO pure with her voice hitting those high notes. She's not screaming or reaching. Just full and on point!
That part something these singers nowadays can’t yo that even beyonce
Right. Just flowing like water.
“NOT SCREAMING OR REACHING! JUST FULL AND ON POINT!”
LEDISI IS THE BEST!!! GIVE THIS QUEEN THE CREDIT SHE DESERVES. HER PIPES ARE STONG,VOICR HEAVENLY!!! NOT EVERYONE CAN PULL OFF A CHAKA SONG. SHE KILLED IT
I do both of these songs in my band show and she makes me want to sit my mic down!!🎤👀
Ledisi has a great voice and is definitely slept on. The music industry doesn't give her credit for her work but that's ok. She's sensational without they're recognition.
Yes indeed!! ❤❤❤
@@RodneyPlayer-f9lShe didn't bow down to the
music industries nonsense.
LEDISI I LOVE HER!!!❤️💯
Still watching this in 2024!!
Me too
Rachelle Ferrell was Ledisi vocal coach. Let that sink in 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sink in? More like slaps tha shit out cha. Respectfully Chaka is a outta this world, but Rachel Ferrell is astral planes away. So it makes sense why Ledisi sounds so amazing. Great fun fact.
Only other woman that I’ve heard with krazy krazy range like that is Callie Day.
Now it makes sense, because the range is everything!!!!
Get da hamburger outta here!!!🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜
Makes sense
She worked that Chaka dance! Lol
1:40 The way Erykah stands up lmaooo real vocalist recognise real vocalist 😆👏🏾 Chaka gave her seal approval at the end. Yes😌
RIIGHT HAHAHA
The audience was entirely too dry for me…Ledisi sung her face off!
Straight off!
They were rendered speechless sweetheart. They are in shock. 😂❤
Right why was they bringin the hate ration up in the dancery my butt woulda been standing up
....they were stunned.....
hahaha SHE DID THAT!!!
Chaka was madd IMPRESSED💯
Exactly! She was!
Those snaps up, said it all 🤣
1:33 that "pass" was just BONE CHILLING. My GOD.

Lord Jesus. Yes. Thats the highlight of the whole tribute.
Yes my lord🙌🏼
Immaculate!
@@justincartwright252 What song is it?
I think she's one of the best singers of our time right now
It's an understatement to say she tore this song up!!! She def killed it! I loved that she stayed true to the original version with a twinge of her own style. Loved it.
Man she sang them notes like she was talking 😍😍😍
The only singer who can capture Chaka at her best from the 80s . Ledisi is an incredible talent . Nothing is beyond her range. This was a real treat and masterclass in how to bring a diva alive
In my opinion Ledisi is to Chaka Khan as Deborah Cox is to Whitney Houston.
I agree 1000%, the only one!!!
Yes ma'am
That was a masterclass indeed. A few hundred thousand advance level above what i currently able to understand.
Badu does Chaka justice too!
Dang man, why didn't they allow Ledsi to sing Everlasting Love longer. I wanna hear more. 😮
Why hasn’t this video got a trillion views?!!!! IMMACULATE VOCAL PERFORMANCE!!! LITERALLY PITCH PERFECT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRETY OF HER PERFORMANCE!
🤌🏾🎵I can’t believe I’ve only just seen this now!! 🤦🏾♂️

Yes amazing

Erykah cracks me up everytime I look at this. So cute! (7/1/23)
@@bevacole Erykah is me I would have forgotten where I was and been up grooving 😂
@@gtheprince22 😂 😂 me too! I can't stop watching this video....
But on that second song she sat there mesmerized! Ledisi gave a master’s class in tribute right there🙌🏿
@@KRashad yes! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Haha Alicia’s stank face at 3:05 was my exact reaction. Ledisi ATE! 🔥
lol
Rigt She just makes you do that when she says Jesus is probably giving that steak face to her lol 😂😂😂
And not nan one crumb escaped, neither🙌🏿
Because Alicia can’t sing
@nikkipablo3680 it was a look of disbelief...Lisa Fischer got that same look from us when she sang. How can I ease the pain...Years ago😂😂
They could not have chosen a better singer to pay tribute to Chaka Khan! Ledisi is phenomenal!❤
I absolutely agree!!!!! ❤❤
She's my favorite female singer ever!!!!!!!!
Like COME ONNNNNNNNN the woman is literally flat out singing her face out effortlessly. Ledisi STANDING O SIS

Exactly I bet if it was Beyoncé they’ll be up
Ledisi did not come to play! Now that’s how a legend should be honored!
I would love to see Ledisi do some Phyliss Hyman songs. Her voice is out of this world!!!
Ledisi ate that everlasting love!!!!😊❤
Sheesh..I got tears in my eyes..she killed that!!! My goodness

GIVE LEDISI HER THINGS!!!! OMG! A straight MASTERCLASS in God-given talent, technique and style. LOVE her!!!
SHE ATE THAT!!! That freaking Band🔥🔥🔥

The way she tackled those notes at 3:33. Whew!! Amazing!!!!
This performance was years ago but it lives rent free in my mind and I’m so happy someone posted it! Thank you!
I watched it at least once (probably twice) a week. Flawless tribute ❤
Erykah Badu’s face expression at 4:07 Yeah I too was in another dimension like 😳😳😳 Phenomenal tribute Ledisi👏🏽

Ledsi is no dam joke
Yall gotta give props to the background singers though!
Marvelous!
do you know how many years i been looking for this clip! God bless you ledisi for uploading this clip!
Ledisi Sang this song‼️ Such a rare moment these days..
You have to be on the top, THE VERY TOP, of your game when Chaka is absolutely loving your singing. Imagine 😮❤
That was finally one of the best if not the nest tribute of a artist by an artist that i think i have ever heard! Thats what you call a slay.......
That’s ‘a hairs standing up on the back of your neck’ performance right there!
What an instrument 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤❤
GOT DAYUM....GOT DAYUM....GOT DAYUM!!!!!
Now THIS is the blueprint on how to do a tribute! I listen to this daily!❤❤
Chaka said at the end," Now"! 💯❤️🌹👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Bravo Mrs. Ledisi, Bravo!
This is on repeat😅😅😅❤
I don't know who had the best supporting vocals; Luther, Whitney, Aretha or Chaka...Amazing!
All four are incredible.
The Arranger and the band are Badass #@#$%@$%#@ musicians!!!!!!!
Trying to find-purchase a DVD or Blu-ray. Any help appreciated.
I came here to say the drums and percussion is killing it horns too! Fucking TIGHT. It’s almost better than the original song GOD DAMN IT
Killer band. KILLER, the percussion
That's her drummer Gordon Campbell
Watch her pay tribute to Tina Marie. She killed it singing her songs too!
I’mma go find it.
I’m not a fan of covers or samples, but this was by far the greatest cover I’ve ever heard. Then again, it’s Ledisi so greatness is expected ❤
LEDISI is not to be played with!!! What a GIFT!!!
This version from Ledisi still gives me the chills. Girl go on!!!!! Sang your tushy off!!! (7/1/2023) So beautiful as well!
Those notes kept me at the edge of my seaaaaat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
