I remember she said it took her time to become comfortable performing as a solo artist because since childhood she had a group with her. They carried eachother.
This was one of Letoya’s first performances as a solo artist. 16 years ago, she seemed a bit shy and nervous here, but now, she’s grown into her own voice and skin as a solo artist, sounds great, and very confident. So, for those of you comparing her to Beyoncé or Kelly, don’t forget, Letoya was always in the background in DC. Talk about artist development!
This is the first time that I heard her sing. My comment was going to be in time she will develop into a polished singer. Frankly, she has a much better voice than Beyonce.
Everyone knows that every member of DC can sing!!! LeToya admitted that she lost her confidence with her singing ability cause when they called her tone deaf
This was probably one of first times performing live solo in front of a crowd. Be reminded that it was 6 years since she had been on a stage. I saw her open up for Mary J in 2017 and she kilt her set
Some of you do know, this was one of her first public performances as a solo artist from 16 years ago. LeToya has grown leaps and bounds since then. Her vocals are top knotch at this point and she's gotten very comfortable in her skin as a singer, performer and actress. Yeah I'm going to run Toya's resume down because folks love to critisize and discredit someone without understanding. Toya had to rebuild confidence in herself and her talent. Especially after all that happened with Destiny's Child. Pretty sure her confidence and self esteem took a hit. That's number 1. She also came from a group where she was in the background and not the center. So I'm sure it was hard to be up there by herself with all eyes on her, and people waiting to see what she was going to do. Hence where her anxiety and panic developed from. So she had to get over those things including self doubt first, in order to have the confidence to step out on that stage. So of course her first outing was not going to be to the most polished or vocally flawless performance. It's called artist development. Something that isn't done in this era, but as an artist that's what you do. Keep honing your craft and working so you get better and better at what you do. And that's what she did. Fast-forward to today, Toya has 3 successful R&B albums, her debut being a platinum seller, and a flourishing acting acting career. With two adorable kids to boot and a new series called Leave It To LeToya. She's come a long way since her first days as solo artist singing Torn.
Can't believe this song dropped 16 years ago, soon to be 17. The same year I was 16 going on 17 years old. Damn, 2006 feels just like yesterday. Where does time go!
I was 21 in 2006 and LeToya was everythang back then💞🎼🔥💯. She was starting to come into her own and I loved it!! Our era in music was unmatched!! And I mean every music genre at that!! 🙌🏽✨🙌🏽💯
She WON this! And I just love that OMG in the middle of the song after that power note. You know she was feeling it, nerves or whatever, but she conquered this and it just made the performance so real!
The crowd so supportive. Love that. Remember when LeToya used to be so nervous especially as this one of her first times solo live. Glad she's relaxed over the years and got comfortable in her vocal tone. ❤️
@@kc-qteeapril3395 me too I bought this album mainly off the strength of the single torn I could relate to it at the time after having my own break up.
I really appreciate LeToya Luckett's resilience despite everything that happened with Destiny's Child, she persevered even though she didn't sell many albums. It's true that, largely because of the Destiny's Child affair, she lost her self-confidence and self-esteem ... In Destiny's Child, I'm a big fan of Beyonce, but I also recognise LeToya Luckett's vocal abilities, and after Beyonce in Destiny's Child, LeToya Luckett is the second artist I really like, and she needs to know that she has a lot of fans, so she shouldn't doubt herself any more ... Vocally, not everyone can be Beyonce, but everyone can shine in their own way ... In Destiny's Child, LeToya Luckett didn't want to overshadow Beyonce, she just wanted to shine in her own way, and that wouldn't have stopped Beyonce from becoming the star she is today ...

I really feel for her here. This is when EVERYTHING was against her. DC lawsuits were up in the air, rumors galore, Beyonce was poppin, and the expectations and comparisons were high and she was performing her own hit single to the world with high expectations to flop, and is doing this in from of a LIVE audience facing her, PLUS she had a shit microphone, with music level pushed to the front barely hearing her!! Well done to her under all of that pressure and stress.
I think people forget about all the rumors surrounding her solo career. Word is that Matthew was applying pressure behind the scenes to sabotage her and there was drama with her and Mary J.
This was so good! Knowing how nervous she was now I can tell that she was holding back but this wasn’t bad at all! She was probably scared to really take it there for fear of being pitchy or off key so it came out very controlled. That’s better than sounding a hot ass mess like a lot of these artists sound these days when performing live 🤷🏽♀️😂.. I can’t wait to hear her when she’s fearless 🥹💕
@@Dsweety102785 This was her very first solo Performance and she was scared. Alot of people doubted her but I was happy she was able to make a come back. I think the omg was...I can't believe I'm doing this. Cause most background group members don't make it.
I was looking for THIS comment! Lol. So when I saw this video I was wondering if I was gonna see what she was talking about…you definitely tell she was nervous. Sounded like she was fighting against being her own background singer. She’s amazing and I wish her nothing but continued success. This was my song btw…actually the whole album
@@TheeCrownJewel22 you took the words right of my mouth. Yeah you can see the nerves she was taking about clearly in this video. This was the song though. She went in!
Aside from all the comments about it being her first performance, it was evident she was still getting used to being solo by the way she naturally fell into the backgrounds of her track before it clicking (by her kinda shaking out of it) that she's it. And she did what needed to be done ☺️
She was nervous but shone the minute she hit that note. I guess the OMG was just how the person she sings about in that story felt. She's grown so much as an actress now, I'm just glad she has not disappeared. Saying this congrats to Bey, Kel, Toy and even Much for all their individual successes.
I could tell that too she was shaky and nervous which made sense coming from a group knowing people wanted to see her fail she's come through with flying colors .
I don’t know what everyone is talking about this performance of nervousness yet it’s actually the opposite!! She was feeling herself so much that she loss focus…engulfed by her on performance. That’s all.
She actually said on the RnB money podcast w/ Tank & J Valentine that in her early performances (solo) she suffered from extreme self-doubt and stage fright. The anticipation of having to sing in front of the crowd while having to hit the high belt at the end of the bridge contributed to the nerves. Proud of her for pushing through!
I love how she said omg after hitting that note. She was like omg I actually did it. I know that was a confidence booster.
Dmh...That's not why she said, "omg." She was in her feelings about the words she was singing.
@@reformer6666 ok. & it really triggered you that much? I think you should take a break from the internet
I could tell she was so nervous about that high note. But she DID THAT!! I still love LeToya so much! She’s apart of my childhood memories😭
I remember she said it took her time to become comfortable performing as a solo artist because since childhood she had a group with her. They carried eachother.
She a little sick here. I can hear it taking her air probably a chest cold. However she sounds great
On 106 & park she nailed that note!
I agree with Namina.
IMO, LeToya should've been a star like Beyonce. She has the looks and talent like her former Destiny's Child bandmate.
@@CiMone01 That's true. Without Nelly, Kelly wouldn't have any hits.
LeToya is a "diamond." Time, pressure, love, and talent brought her to us! Sing, young lady. Sing!
Beautiful comment

@@kokodizzle2964LeToya Luckett seems to have fully recovered from the Destiny's Child affair ...
One of the best RNB songs in history
Ok no. Calm down
@@darellgrant8753they said “one of” in case you missed it
Yes it's a good song ..but its a strong sample of The Stylistics ' You are Everything '
She just seemed nervous but she didn’t sound bad at all, she sound just like the record so yeah I liked it
To say this was the solo first performance for her since her since her departure from Destiny's Child, she did a great job vocally!
This was probably one of first times performing live solo in front of a crowd. Be reminded that it was 6 years since she had been on a stage. I saw her open up for Mary J in 2017 and she kilt her set
This song needs to make a comeback!!! It's a goodie. Not tripping if the CD blows up again also!!!!

This was my song😩😩😩❤️
Plzz that man was taking here through it. I get it now girl
The ultimate song where a woman should focus on love within themselves.
She is so pretty !!

Encore!! Encore!!!
If Candi Station had a biopic, Letoya should be the one.
Go Latoya Go!
I wanna see the original destiny child back together
Beyonce probably won't allow that
Yessssssss...
Bop 🔥
Why'd they put her in the soprano role. Her voice craves the mezzo soprano, top of Alto range.
I agree. A lyric Mezzo-soprano
Yeahhhhh i agree also - most of her songs are in a comfortable range for me to sing. But she is higher than Bey.
