Omg yall they are dressed as the PROUD FAMILY CHARACTERS! Durand Bernarr: Uncle Bobby Proud Drummer & both Guitarists: Gross Sisters BG Singers: LaCienega Boulevardez, Zoe & Felix Pianist: Sticky Brown I can’t unsee it!This is so iconic!
I was searching for this comment 🥰the other background singers are Proud Family characters as well: Zoe & Felix 😍 & the pianist is Sticky! He did what needed to be done with this Tiny Desk concert!
I would like to thank you for your time and dedication to music! You just don’t even know how much you have done for my lifee! UGH🥹We love you Mr. Durand Bernarr!!!
Durand we LOVE YOU!!!!! I listen to your music everyday. Your music lift my spirit no matter what I’m going through. I recently discovered your music at a time when I needed it. Thank you for being YOU my fellow VIRGO KING ❤
You are something so entirely precious and special to this world. What you are contributing to art and music, is and will be astonishing! This performance literally feels like a historical moment
Him opening that tour will be iconic for both parties... Beyonce needs to work with him and he needs to work with Beyonce... I feel like their dynamic would clash two worlds we did not know could...
And what I love about Durand, is that no matter how small his venue is, he treats it like it’s the biggest stage in the world. He doesn’t fill the space, the venues have to TRY to contain him
My ex took me to see this dude live and didnt say a word about who he was. As a straight black man this one was of the most amazing things I have ever seen. The artistry in this mans performance is out of this world. He is on his way somewhere very very big. Beyond impressed.
If people closed their eyes and just listened to this , there would be no bias. The harmonies and instruments being performed this in sync live with no hiccups etc is unreal. Awesome performance.
This is the most dumbest comment I ever read! Why would anybody need to close their eyes to enjoy him and his great talent. Looks like the bias lies with with you!!
@ because I’ve heard negative comments spoken and read negative comments written. And the critiques usually factor in everything outside of his voice. So maybe YOU should learn some reading comprehension before you comment on someone’s post , take it out of context, and falsely accuse them of garnering a disdain for someone/something .
@@kimberlywilliams9422why? his stage presence and charisma is what made this tiny desk concert even more amazing. it wasn't just the vocals & harmonies
Only Durand can have background vocalists this good. They sound better than most lead singers, all by themselves. But then Durand opens his mouth, and you immediately know why they need to be so good, lol. His tastes are simple. He's easily satisfied by the best. Beyond that, exceptional talent all around. From the band to the silky smooth pipes, they are all world-class and a privilege to listen to.
As a straight, white, 37 year old man from Norway, witnessing this performance feels like it's almost "too" perfect. I can't remember the last time i saw a performance with such flow, soul, sync, warmth and love. And it's LIVE. Amazing. Will recommend this to everyone I know. Flawless!
those manufactured artists have a tenth of the talent. They can be controlled. This one cannot be contained or controlled. He's clearly going to be independent and that's great. That way he can get alla da monay!
That is so true. There is def a difference between the "manufactuted" ones and him being a pure unapologetically musical mastermind... I truly love his music.
Funny story …. He was my uber driver in Los Angeles North Hollywood about 5 years ago or so….. little did he know that I recognized him from his CRISPY CHICKEN MARY J COVER 😂 So I sang it…… he was cracking up! Dope dude! Kudos to him! He’s been GRINDING A WHILE !
Now THIS is a Tiny Desk! I keep coming back for ‘Freefall’ 14:36! The camaraderie between the band was so dope! The exchange between the drummer and bassist at 14:58 is super cute. I pray that I am able to make money one day having as much fun as these guys!💯
The sass, the funk, the band, the background singers, the ranges, the improvisation!!... It's official. This is my favorite Tiny Desk performance. There's no other like Mr. Bernarr 💜💜💜
We're all at awe with the Uncle Bobby/Proud Family cosplay on Tiny Desk. 🤎🌠 Top 10 vocalists as a front man and background of this decade. Realize he did several genre cadences to show you that he is a fan of music. The Day 1's are PROUD!
I honestly can't think of a better male vocalist in the last decade. Dude is just that gifted to me. Wherever he falls, I'm just happy that he's finally getting the exposure that's long overdue.
yeah jazmine stands out as one, and i’d def put yebba up there too there’s also probably thousands of incredible people who aren’t even in the biz - hope to hear them all some day though!
Probably my favorite Tiny Desk Concert. The charisma and voice of Durand. Jumping from a baritone to falsetto like nothing. His impeccable band and background singers. The unapologetic queerness and level of talent is just, wow! 😭 can’t stop watching
As someone who has been following Durand for YEARS!!! His Lettuce Pray and alcoholharmony channel where he had ICONIC covers!!! It’s emotional to see him continue to be his authentic self and shine like the star that he has always been!!!
I can only imagine the excitement of watching this for the first time if you aren’t familiar with this incredibly talented human being and had no idea what to expect. Like imagine being a kid discovering this man for the first time thru this performance. That thought just made me so happy. So proud of him for continuously using tf outta all his gifts and seizing every moment!
This is what happened to me. My brain just exploded: amazing artistry, vocals and overall atmosphere. The whole team are high-class professionals and it is noticeable that they get high from what they do. Just wooow 🎉
Boy, the audience didn’t know what they were gonna get because he isn’t as known but they got a SHOW! Truly witnessing greatness. I know Erykah is proud of him.
He’s honestly been trained since birth. He’s a professional classically refined and trained vocalist. Added with raw talent. I hope he gives lessons one day
ur a walking contradiction does he have raw talent or trained since birth..... when people refer to raw talent it's referring to when performers didn't get any training and still give just as good of a performance as a trained artist hence the word "raw"... which is "untrained"
@@yumyummarbles do you not understand you can have raw talent and take lessons to perfect it? Y’all just be dense and miserable and MAD in real life. Raw talent doesn’t mean untrained it means it’s natural talent.
@@yumyummarbles I mean it makes sense you can smhave raw talent and then be trained still. Talent doesn’t really mean a lot without the technique durran put in

YOOOOO!!! I LOVE IT ALL! Can we just take time to appreciate the fact that everyone is dressed like characters from Proud Family. We got Uncle Bobby Durand!!!!!, Sticky on the keys, the Gross Sisters, Zoey, LaCienega and Dijonay on vocals!!! Professional entertainer!!! I'm in love!!! He has just made my MUST SEE live in concert list honey! cause I know we gon have a BALLL honey!!!!!
Never heard someone with such range as Durand. He uses every capacity of his voice of his songs. He can literally sing anything, flip it and make you like his version better than the original singer…just a rare talent ❤️❤️❤️
Durand’s extraordinary voice and unapologetic expression of self is a salve for the souls of us who have played small. Carry. Take up space. Sing us to new dimensions. Show us the way.
I watched Usher and Jazmine Sullivan performances but Durand took this Tiny Desk concert series to another level… His stage presence is incredible… His backup Singers are the best I’ve heard.
I didn’t know who this guy was, I was drawn in by the Proud Family Character get-ups, but man! I’m a fan now!!! The vocals, the songs, the showmanship!! I’m in love!
@@jacquelynmcclaud2994 OMGG, Four years ago - he was on Terrell's show playing Song Association....and he sang a snippet of that Neon Collars song "Heartbeat".....and I saw how the original sounded NOTHING like Durand sang it? I told myself then....I will buy every album he releases...and stream it too.
I’ve watched this about 30 times no cap. This version of Sam’s Vibe is absolutely amazing. The range of his vocals is crazy. The background singers chewed this jawn up too.
Had the pleasure of drumming for him on a few gigs in mid 2014. It was magical to be around such greatness. Always destined for the top. Love you Durand!
It's a crime that this guy is not more popular.... The music industry is full of overhyped props... He is the essence of true talent.... I wish he could be on a larger platform....
Now THIS is a musician, lyricist, vocalist, performer, and entertainer! A-class act, got me looking up his tour dates and everything! No matter who you are, Mango Butter is a GROOVE. Pure talent 😩❤️
Couldn't have said it better! ❤ I'm still speechless after listening/watching this performance everyday for months. I'm still not close 2 being tired of it 😂❤. Thanku Durrand Bernarr!!!🎉

Omg yall they are dressed as the PROUD FAMILY CHARACTERS!
Durand Bernarr: Uncle Bobby Proud
Drummer & both Guitarists: Gross Sisters
BG Singers: LaCienega Boulevardez, Zoe & Felix
Pianist: Sticky Brown
I can’t unsee it!This is so iconic!
I was searching for this comment 🥰the other background singers are Proud Family characters as well: Zoe & Felix 😍 & the pianist is Sticky!
He did what needed to be done with this Tiny Desk concert!
I thought I was tripping. It’s like they jumped right off the animation into real life. Thank you for confirming my inner thoughts. Lol
Ikr! I love this. 😂😂
Yassssss 😍
Yoooooo, I didn't even notice that until I read this!! That's hilarious😂😂😂😂
He really flexed on every vocalist. He did funk, r&b, country, rock and opera in 22 minutes of a seamless set
Refuses to be put in a box and I LOVE IT!!!!!
OMG IT'S HERE!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I would like to thank you for your time and dedication to music! You just don’t even know how much you have done for my lifee! UGH🥹We love you Mr. Durand Bernarr!!!

Can we please get that version of Sam's vibe!!!!
🥰🥰
You are something so entirely precious and special to this world. What you are contributing to art and music, is and will be astonishing! This performance literally feels like a historical moment
His singers sing the way I wish other artists would have their background singers perform. He gets it.
They were awesome 🤩 definitely reminds of that good old school r&b
this! solange is another artist whose BGVs give a whole performance.
He has learned a lot singing background vocals for Erykah Badu. Her mentoring has helped as well.
@@monicacarter8105 Exactly what I was going to say.
YESSS!!!
*throws shoe 👠 * THEY BETTA SANG!
Sangggghhhgh 🫣👌😭💕✨💫
Thank you I forgot to throw mine in my post 😂😂😂
Yasss 😭😭😭
*Shannnnnnng*
He’s so fckn 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Anybody else here in 2025, saying Encore, Encore, Encore, you're so good, you deserve an Encore! The whole group is Amazing. Thank you ❤
First time!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow…🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Anybody else keep spinning the block for this Tiny Desk🔥🔥💙
About once a week, sometimes a little more.
I sure am😂😂😂😂
Yup I’ve been around a few times
Me and my momma 😄🤩
🤚🏾
A year later & this is still one of the best
Hands down 🔥🔥
Yes this one and Tank and the Bangas are my favorite! Oh can’t forget MumuFresh!
Sexy❤❤❤❤
By far. The musicality >>> any other Tiny Desk I've seen.
He needs to open the Renaissance tour. His vibe is on par with that vibe. Incredible talent!
Him opening that tour will be iconic for both parties... Beyonce needs to work with him and he needs to work with Beyonce... I feel like their dynamic would clash two worlds we did not know could...
@@bluefarron2454YES! ALL OF THIS! YES!
Yes, that would be great
That would be mindblowing.
He's opened for Erykah most recently. He definitely had the vibes 💫💫
This mans vocal range is insane...he's an entire vibe. The background singers ATE IT UP!!♥️
And what I love about Durand, is that no matter how small his venue is, he treats it like it’s the biggest stage in the world. He doesn’t fill the space, the venues have to TRY to contain him
This!!! ❤
Good point! So true!
That part❤❤❤
True that !
😂😅😅every homosexual man would treat a small crows loud.

Just have to close your eyes he is so talented
I wish straight men could just be normal
I feel this, I’m really from the trenches, love hardcore hip-hop, but just love music in general, my girl put me on to Durand and I’ve been a fan
@@courtneylanier2776 no why close your eyes this is ARTT
Absolutely amazing ❤❤❤❤
He gave r&b, pop, country, opera, ROCK!!!!! DONT PLAY WIT EM!!! He’s HIM!!! An amazing talent!!!
Yes! I live for him!
Dont forget a that lil Gospel🤌🏾
Exactly 💯😂
Yeah that part, excellent comment
And funk!
If people closed their eyes and just listened to this , there would be no bias. The harmonies and instruments being performed this in sync live with no hiccups etc is unreal. Awesome performance.
Thank you for the suggestion, I think I enjoyed it 10x more.

I mean Durand and Rahsaan Patterson TOPS!!!

I love how this soundsss like so simply put and so eloquently correct
I swear Durand has been blessed in Prince's Purple Rain and kissed by the light of Erykah Badu's Orange Moon. 🙌
Yes!
Perfect!
All of this. All
Of it. ❤
Facts.
Yup
The Backgrounds didn't come to PLAY!
No they didn't! I'm sooooooo proud of you Durand, sending love from Madrid, Spain.
Surely didn’t. They left not one crumb 😮💨
they did not! them harmonies are tight 😮💨
Mannnnnn🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
At all, they cooked, ate, served and cleaned that table!! Left nothing!!
His Tiny Desk has been trending everywhere. So glad I found it. Very talented!!
Me too

Thanks for telling us you’re straight.
@@xhildhood😂😂😂😂😂😂
Duly noted, sir.
Just be quiet and enjoy.
Am on the only who still returns to this performance ?😭 I can’t stop watching it. I’m so obbessed🥹
SAME and I don’t see me stopping anytime soon. 🥹
Once a day😂
I play this just about eer'day🎉❤. I cook dinner and clean the house to this, shower and get ready for work and play it at work 🎉❤
Yes, I play it in my car!
This performance feels like an album!
Crazy how the music industry has to manufacture artists when somebody like him exists. Natural talent, natural charisma, a natural star
those manufactured artists have a tenth of the talent. They can be controlled. This one cannot be contained or controlled. He's clearly going to be independent and that's great. That way he can get alla da monay!
That is so true. There is def a difference between the "manufactuted" ones and him being a pure unapologetically musical mastermind... I truly love his music.
And why he’s the best in a long time he definitely go far 🩷🩷😊
Criminally low views. God tier tiny desk! The best! ❤
Funny story …. He was my uber driver in Los Angeles North Hollywood about 5 years ago or so….. little did he know that I recognized him from his CRISPY CHICKEN MARY J COVER 😂 So I sang it…… he was cracking up! Dope dude! Kudos to him! He’s been GRINDING A WHILE !
Facts !!! I love you had this experience
Cute memory😂
Wow nice fam
Incredible Story 📖 ❤
Ommmmgg what a moment 😂😂
The fact that he is dressed up as Bobby Proud of Proud Family , IT IS ICONIC!
I thought Elvis! 😂
The whole band and the BGVs are all proud family
It is everything!!!!
It's sticky on the keys for me
Iconic!!!!!
Durand is not just a singer but an ENTERTAINER!! 🤌🏾🤌🏾❤❤
i love your moomin profile picture
Yasss…that’s the cherry on top!
@@jadalikestea thanks!! I found it randomly! Lol
That's a no for me dawg.. I can't be a real man watching this dude and his .. um.. crew
That part!
The harmony of him and his background singers is pure perfection
Soooooooooooooooo TRUE 🎉🎉
The fact that we got over 5 different genres, runs, modulations, fits, face-pure artistry in 22 minutes. Durand is unparalleled! Truly a gift!
Very well said!!!
The versatility and range is uncanny
Don’t we just love an artist that gives space for the background singers to sang 😍
Indeed we do! And they came THRU!
Come through BGV !
Love it so much 🔥🔥
The background singers understood the assignment!!!!! Durand is such a delight to hear and see, such a beautiful presence! I love how free he is!
They sure did
Buddy was bumping that bass 😊
His Background Singer's Were The The Best On Tiny Desk...PERIOD.
Yebba Background Singers were no slouch either
Yeeees they were sangin 🔥
The one in the middle sing background for Erykah Badu with Durrand❤
He is vocally Dope
Babyface background singers (Tank, Avery Wilson & Chante Moore) were up there too lol But this was beautiful!!!!
The background singers are 🔥!!!!
They killed it on leveled!
Background is BACK GROUNDIIIINNGGGG‼️‼️‼️
@@mrsce3906for real!
Absolutely!! 🔥🔥🔥
Like a mf
This is the truth! He let them go off, I wish I could like this more than once
If "showing out" were a person! 😂 I love Durand so much, his voice is the BEST out right now and his energy is truly unmatched 💕
Mannnnnn...... You said that. 🤘🏿🤎🖤
This the ☝🏾 one cause baby he showed all the way out and I loved every minute of it!! 😂❤❤
I loved it so much 💕💖
Literally ❤😂
I'm just mad I'm this late to the party 😮💨

Shout out to his background singers and his band too! And the family scene they created. It’s all in the details.
proud familyyyy
Awesome background singers. They definitely came to work!
💯 ABSOLUTELY 💯
you said it perfectly Justin Dinkins "all in the details"

Been following him since the yellow shirt days and singing in his bedroom💛
Yaaaasss! One of my goodies is the crazy feelings cover
Yesss his Alcohol Harmony days!

Durand is an insane performer!! One of my favorite Tiny Desk sessions.
... with an insanely good ensemble behind him!
YASSSSS FINALLY
He is a STAR!!! He is the Heir to Prince..🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Agreed! He gave us almost all the genres of music. Classical, Gospel, R&B, Soul, Rock, Country, Hip Hop.
Now THIS is a Tiny Desk! I keep coming back for ‘Freefall’ 14:36! The camaraderie between the band was so dope! The exchange between the drummer and bassist at 14:58 is super cute. I pray that I am able to make money one day having as much fun as these guys!💯
The sass, the funk, the band, the background singers, the ranges, the improvisation!!... It's official. This is my favorite Tiny Desk performance. There's no other like Mr. Bernarr 💜💜💜
Amen. He is a phenomenal talent
Same omg
Just amazing.
Amazing

Durand be bringing that soulful church sound into his music. Prince would love him! The background singers and musicians were great too!!!
Def agree. He would
Def giving Prince Vibe. Makes me happy 😊😊😊😊😊
Durand ATE this performance one of the best thus far on T desk
We're all at awe with the Uncle Bobby/Proud Family cosplay on Tiny Desk. 🤎🌠
Top 10 vocalists as a front man and background of this decade.
Realize he did several genre cadences to show you that he is a fan of music.
The Day 1's are PROUD!
...and the day-nows are thankful!
Very!!!! 🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 he did that!
I honestly can't think of a better male vocalist in the last decade. Dude is just that gifted to me. Wherever he falls, I'm just happy that he's finally getting the exposure that's long overdue.
Indeed!! ❤
Very proud
It pains me to compare but I have to say, the harmonizing here is better than a lot of these big artists’ tiny desk. No mediocracy in sight.
Beautifully, effortlessly, and amazingly!
Dur&’s voice is a veteran low key.. Him been ❤sangin’
Sir?!?
The arrangements!
The harmonies!
The falsetto!
The suit!
The vibe!
This is everything!
Best tiny desk concert of all time!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💐❤
This is a musician. You just see the effort and quality of the musicians. Might be the best background singers I’ve seen on tiny desk.
No doubt
Yebba’s background does it some Justice too!
Don't forget those magical glowing singers from Tyler the Creator's. They are not of this world.
FACTS!!!!!!
True and they hit those notes so effortlessly
👇🏾 Still enjoying button
That part!!❤ at least 2x a week ❤
I just stumbled upon this last week sometime, this is my third time watching it. His energy ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
His vibe is what I didn’t know I needed …💃🏽🍾♥️
The outfits are outfitting, the voice is voicing, and that BOB is BOBBING! 😂
This is the greatest vocal performance i have ever seen on Tiny Desk.
I haven’t seen/heard anybody in this generation be able to control their voice like this 😩 it’s crazy🔥🔥
Jazmine Sullivan is his peer! Effortlessly 💅🏾
yeah jazmine stands out as one, and i’d def put yebba up there too
there’s also probably thousands of incredible people who aren’t even in the biz - hope to hear them all some day though!
Mind blowing talent

Facts!!!! And somewhat sing like him 😂😂😂
I'm on the floor 😂😂😂😂

Well a proud family character
Probably my favorite Tiny Desk Concert. The charisma and voice of Durand. Jumping from a baritone to falsetto like nothing. His impeccable band and background singers. The unapologetic queerness and level of talent is just, wow! 😭 can’t stop watching
The way he hits EVERY beat starting at 3:22 like ?!! Wow
Absolutely crazy. ❤
He is now on my bucket list to see live!!!
@@fernandolainez2108 I can't choose a favorite, but that was one of my favorite sections!!

I had no idea who this guy was until now but he not only can sing, but he can saaaaang
I can only imagine the excitement of watching this for the first time if you aren’t familiar with this incredibly talented human being and had no idea what to expect. Like imagine being a kid discovering this man for the first time thru this performance. That thought just made me so happy. So proud of him for continuously using tf outta all his gifts and seizing every moment!
This is what happened to me. My brain just exploded: amazing artistry, vocals and overall atmosphere. The whole team are high-class professionals and it is noticeable that they get high from what they do. Just wooow 🎉
I am so jealous of those who have not yet had the pleasure to dive deep into this man's musical catalog. It is a treasure trove....
Love your comment AJ
Me at this moment! 😍
That’s me!!!! I can’t stop smiling, I love him ❤
It’s giving a fusion of Little Richard and Prince! Such a talent!!! I adore Durand! One of my favorite vocalists!!!
I scrolled until someone mentioned Prince. 💜
What a find this is ❤
This the Comment right Here!!! 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯❤
His look is very much giving Uncle Bobby Proud from the animated series Proud Family. Look it up online. Same look.
@@Kre8iviT27 I know they were dressed up as characters from the Proud Family. I was referring to his energy and the way he sings.
Never heard of this singer. Absolutely amazing. Little Richard, Prince, Lenny Kravitz, Terrance Trent Darby and Bilal...in one package ❤
All of that absolutely!
And Rahsaan Patterson 🙏🏿
His voice definitely reminds me of Rahsaan Patterson ❤ luv his sound

ONLYYYY
I done event think Prince was THIS feminine
I been meaning to say...i mean🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I agree

🤣💀
When you can SANG, you’re never worried about the background singers showing out!!!!! 😮💨😮💨
LITERALLY! YALL work together to create a VIBE
😂HELLO!! SIT THAT MIC ON FIRE!!😂
THAT PART they ALL ate
Durand is levelling all on a cloud all of his own. And his band is tight. Love this so much. Prince is looking down here smiling.
Boy, the audience didn’t know what they were gonna get because he isn’t as known but they got a SHOW! Truly witnessing greatness. I know Erykah is proud of him.
Erykah the mom and Prince the dad

I just discovered his music a few days ago and was blown away by leveled I love his voice. He definitely takes pride in his craft✊️💜
@@venod3134 oh baby, he said he wrote allofit Lbs he cold with it 🔥
Never heard someone with such range as Durand. He uses every capacity of his voice of his songs. He can literally sing anything, flip it and make you like his version better than the original singer…just a rare talent ❤️❤️❤️
Every time. And I’m STILL waiting to see him give it all. He just having fun the whole time 🤌🏽🤌🏽
He sounds a lot like Rasaan Patterson to me. Range and all

Listen. I've seen him 6 times live and it's a different experience each time.
He’s amazing!
I discovered Durand today and I’m in awe, love and I want more!!!
Durand’s extraordinary voice and unapologetic expression of self is a salve for the souls of us who have played small. Carry. Take up space. Sing us to new dimensions. Show us the way.
Baby you betta POET!!
❤
❤ Truly unique 🗣️🎙️🎵
What we all need
Amen
I watched Usher and Jazmine Sullivan performances but Durand took this Tiny Desk concert series to another level… His stage presence is incredible… His backup Singers are the best I’ve heard.
Listen to Yebbas as well if not already!
Man, when I heard those background singers start singing that first song, I was amazed.
The Proud Family theme. The vocals. Durand and everyone else ATE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I never realized he’s literally wizard kelly. Thank you!!
I loved The Proud Family theme and those vocals, DISGUSTING! Just nasty and beastly, he ATE!
@@khariali I thought he was uncle Bobby lol
@@trayog2459 you’re right 😂 I was high and he’s definitely not in a blue suit lol
That bass player showing out💙💙💙💙💙💙
Ommggg He's on NPR noww. I'm so proud of him 😭😭
Made 20 minutes feel like a full concert!!! Constantly in awe of this man’s voice and performance skills 🤩🤩🤩
I agree! And we have the same names! So cool
@@moniquedanielle43 clearly ladies with our name have taste 💅🏽💅🏽☺️
That vocal range is CRAAAZYYY!!!!
Range is incredible!!!
FREAK SHOW
Ain it!!!!
I love that they are connected. We are connected. ❤❤
I didn’t know who this guy was, I was drawn in by the Proud Family Character get-ups, but man! I’m a fan now!!! The vocals, the songs, the showmanship!! I’m in love!
Go to the Terrell Show and find Part 1 and 2 from when Terrell first started out! OMG!
@@jacquelynmcclaud2994 OMGG, Four years ago - he was on Terrell's show playing Song Association....and he sang a snippet of that Neon Collars song "Heartbeat".....and I saw how the original sounded NOTHING like Durand sang it? I told myself then....I will buy every album he releases...and stream it too.
@@TaylorMadeCori Yes!! Fell in love with him right away!
Love them I love the way they I love the way he move I sing also
I don't wanna live in a world where these people can't feel free enough to be who they are and bring performances like this, so much fun!
this! The world needs to oppress so mediocrity can thrive. The true gems of the world are those overlooked
I’ve watched this about 30 times no cap. This version of Sam’s Vibe is absolutely amazing. The range of his vocals is crazy. The background singers chewed this jawn up too.
BRUH!! 🎉
.
so i actually made a text tone for my phone for THIS VERSION of Sam’s Vibe … cause it’s you know , VIBEY 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
I ain’t going to lie me too
same lol
I’ve NEVER seen this much musical talent/live art in my life. I’m literally in shock
Had the pleasure of drumming for him on a few gigs in mid 2014. It was magical to be around such greatness. Always destined for the top. Love you Durand!
LOVE YOU, NIGEL!!!!!
Wonderful
Wonderful ..
Much continued success to you
He's like Prince and Captain Jack Sparrow rolled into one. I love it!!!
this characterization is perfect
He’s Bobby Proud 🤣
YES,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,😍🤩💜
❤❤❤😂😂😂❤❤
I love the duality of LaCienaga being the tenor, an Felix being the soprano.
Zoe was the soprano, Felix was alto ;)
They are so talented! Killed it!
@@DurandbernarrTM Oop not I had it all backwards! Nevertheless y’all killed it!!
It's a crime that this guy is not more popular.... The music industry is full of overhyped props... He is the essence of true talent.... I wish he could be on a larger platform....
Now THIS is a musician, lyricist, vocalist, performer, and entertainer! A-class act, got me looking up his tour dates and everything! No matter who you are, Mango Butter is a GROOVE. Pure talent 😩❤️
Couldn't have said it better! ❤ I'm still speechless after listening/watching this performance everyday for months. I'm still not close 2 being tired of it 😂❤. Thanku Durrand Bernarr!!!🎉
Agreed ❤
You
Did the sameeeee! I´m now OBSESSED
Omg I JUST looked up concert dates because now I wanna see this live with my own 2 eyes! 😂😂😂
This man really knows how to give a performance! A lot of artists can learn from him.
The costume references!the music! The vocal KNOW-HOW! The vibe! The personality 😊 gold
