I agree. It's so beautifully done that I absolutely love it, but I'm also profoundly uncomfortable because it's so intensely personal. This doesn't stop me from watching it over and over again, but every time I feel like I should apologize to her for intruding.
I think when she said at the end “that’s that one” she literally had to disconnect her emotions from the song, because she went really deep and had to come back to the present.
She's finally getting the recognition she deserves. She was on Jimmy Fallon the other night performing with Mark Ronson and she won a grammy with her collaboration on a song she did with PJ Morton.
I was introduced to Yebba (birth name: Abbey) some months ago via YT reaction videos. This performance chokes me up; she's singing her profound heartbreak, sorrow, loss, grief...and her mother took her own life around this time, which is beyond sad. ~ Please consider reacting to Yebba's song, "Evergreen", and her duet of, "Gravity". TY! 🙂
I read somewhere that she was recording. That's why the audience was so quiet and stoic. And, she was just letting them know at the end she was done. BUT, your explanation was better. LOL
I love this song..I think when she says “That’s that one” she may be trying not to get too emotional on stage. Around the time this song was put out she also lost her mother to suicide. So I think she was trying real hard not to let it get to her while still trying to be soulful during the performance itself
Oh HELL yes!!! I’d say Adele with some Aretha Franklin. This was a fun watch. Glad I caught it so early. Apparently her mom died not long before this performance, so that made it extra emotional. As far as another Yebba suggestion, try “Gravity” or “Evergreen”. Also, I just saw and met Jinjer last weekend. SO great live...and so sweet in person. Tatiana hugged me unexpectedly.
I can't believe I didn't watch this reaction. U guys won me over ever since I watched your reaction to Dimash and said it was 'angelic'! U guys are awesome. 😁
I love her performance, but it always makes me feel a little... uncomfortable. Like I'm watching something so private and personal, and it's almost voyeuristic. Beautiful song and beautiful performance. Loved y'all's reaction :-)
Both Yebba & Chris Stapleton have been my two favorite artists & musical obsessions for the last year or so. They are so good & you guys reacted to them both in a week. Thank you! Check out Yebba with Clark Beckham doing the song Gravity. Beyond great!
Yebba’s mom passed away either the day before or day of this performance. So that raw gut wrenching heartache your hearing is coming from the pain of that. But, I find it absolutely beautiful that she could redirect that emotion & emote the hell outta this song
Abbey (YEBBA) Smith is an amazing singer-songwriter. Her range and emotions are so good. She was this underground singer off the radar until this video My Mind. Now so many reactions and even covers of this song. I've been listening a lot to her other videos on youtube. Gravity (John Mayer cover) with Yebba/ Clark Beckham. Clark Beckham was an American Idol contestant, with this amazing distinct voice, you should do reaction, yet still unknown. I also like SWV's cover of Weak. Also featured in PJ Morton in How Deep is Your love where they won a Grammy award. Evergreen is a great song of hers, too. Also Smoke by Levenson where she is featured. But This year she is blowing up having done duets with Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith. and featured in Marc Ronson. The music industry is brutal in that it doesnt allow many artists to get exposed or get the fame. Hundreds of great artists in singing that never get that level. I'm glad Abbey is one of those getting noticed and starting to get a big name for herself.
now you have entered the world of Abbey Smith...(Yebba) you guys really NEED to do "Clark Beckham - Gravity feat. Abbey Smith by John Mayer" Abbey Smith AKA Yebba This is one of the most powerful duets done in recent years IMO
In my opinion, Yebba and Beth Hart are the two most gifted and passionate singers around. Please react to her music video for Evergreen, it’s absolutely spectacular! She did that music video right after her mother committed suicide, it’s really quite moving. And if I’m not mistaken, the church it was filmed was the church her mother attended.
I think she responds that way at the end because there is slight embarrassment at 1) her vulnerability and 2) what has happened to her. Not because she’s checking things off the list.
Lol yall should react to Yebba and Clark Beckham. Also, she’s more of a cross between Joss Stone, Kim Burrell, Jazmine Sullivan, and some Adele. But her favorite music style is Gospel.
Please react to Yebba & Clark Beckham Jr covering John Mayer's song "Gravity" it's absolutely ama-ZING!!!!! Chris Stapleton live version of "Whiskey & you" you asked for more Zac Brown Band.....try "Jolene" & "Hwy 20 ride". Also Haley Rhinehart ft Postmodern Jukebox's cover of "Creep" by Radiohead. Her voice is phenomenal. Love the channel Stan and Brian ☺️
This song...you don't just here Yebba..you FEEL Yebba💕 I agree with the comparison to Adele but Beth Hart? No way...there's no one out there today that can come close to Beth...best female singer by far🖤
I read she was nervous because this was the first time she was performing her own music. She's done many collaborations, my fav 2 are Gravity with Clark Beckham and Smoke with Luke Levenson
Kyle Brown omg yes!! I’ve been trying to think who the heck she reminded me of and it’s jill! Thank you, that’s been annoying me since the sofar performance was posted!
You guys should watch Yebba and Clark Beckham's video duet of a Dave Matthew's song called Gravity they did - AND try another Clark Beckham duet with another girl (cant remember her name) singing Tennessee Whisky by Chris Stapleton - I think you'd really appreciate them both!
Please will yall check out Allen stone i promise you will not be disappointed. He writes most of his songs, i discovered him on American idol in 2018 Some of the songs are unaware, and brown eyed lovers, he is got soul it so unbelievable. He was on American idol doing his songs with two of the contestants. Please, I love see your reactions .
IMHO he is a combination between Adele and Aretha Frankiin. I just love how she just drags you and you feel it with her. She's like, here, come and listen to my story.
I highly recommend 'Family Portrait' by Kim Jin Ho. The live version from Immortal Songs 2. An amazing vocalist that has real talent bleeding emotion into his music as well. This song in particular is a tribute to his late father. th-cam.com/video/cS-IiArGmcU/w-d-xo.html
hi! 🙆🏾 you misunderstood her saying what she said at the end.. she's been through quite a lot, which you probably already know by now re: how her mother suffered serious, deep, clinical depression for many years & killed herself.. so, please don't be fooled by what she said at the end.. she shared *quite enough* emotion with the audience with that song alone. and, hopefully you've seen her song, well, one of her other songs, "*Evergreen,*" by now, which is about her mother - the version recorded in the church with a choir is the one you *don't* want to miss. well, she *dedicated* at least 1 other song to her mother a few weeks after she took her own Life *["Where Do You Go??" with Ed Sheeran in Puerto Rico],* but *"Evergreen,"* that's the one i'm meaning first. and yes, *Yebba & Adele* are both great vocalists, both beautiful & gently rounded - and *"My Mind"* is definitely a melancholic song, like what Adele sings, mostly... but only, imho maybe, they're not at all alike, definitely *not* re: their vocal stylings. 😯 *until* you mentioned, if Adele & Beth Hart 'had a baby,' it might grow up to sing a bit like Yebba.. *that,* i can understand, kind of get behind, as at least somewhat of a possibility.👍 in any case thanks for taking the time to make & upload this reaction video, guys.🙋🏾
I'm so glad for you, you finally have Yebba in your life Consider to react to something else th-cam.com/video/Ilu87o5iHUE/w-d-xo.html . It's totally different from anything else you reacted to.. It's Sorrys wildcard to GBB 20, a beatboxing competition. I love it.
Some of her vocalizations remind me of Ellie Goulding. I can’t help but wonder if there is an influence. Ellie often uses her voice as a nuanced instrument for an orchestrated effect in the same way. Listen to Halcyon, and you’ll hear what I’m talking about. Yebba is untouchable, in my mind.
I agree with you there. I am a vocal coach and I always like to emphasize how a song starts with the first note of the intro and the very last note. Vocalists sometimes forget about the instrumental part of the song. The guitarist is also there to create that mood. Her performance is fantastic but that quick “that’s that” broke the pain vibe too soon. Maybe it was too intense and she had to get out of that mood but it was too soon (not by much). I am so impressed by her vocal agility. She is wonderful.
You do request so how about November rain by guns and roses and please do the video!!! The video is one of the most viewed music videos of all time. You won’t regret it. Please please please do this one!!!
I think you guys got it right. She's a bit shy and reserved (and also humble) unless she's performing, and that is where her ability to project pain and passion shows itself. I just LOVE her, and I also love Beth Hart and Adelle. But I can't think of a single performer who can project pain and passion like she does. At certain points in this song, she's not such much singing as she is WAILING -- I think if you revisit the video you'll see what I'm talking about.
That is one of my favorite all-time singing performances on YT. I've watched it hundreds of times and still get emotional when I watch these reactions. Wow. Another Yebba suggestion is her duo cover of John Mayer's "Gravity" with Clark Beckham. They take you to Church with their performance and you'll know what I mean when you're about halfway through the song. Amazing! When you have a chance, would you please do a reaction of 15-year old Courtney Hadwin? Last year she got 56+ million views on her AGT audition at the age of 13!!! In the past few months, she's released a set of four covers done pretty professionally here - th-cam.com/channels/J0UIOws33p5zRE6Eul3rlw.html All 4 songs are good - 2 slow ballads and 2 up-tempo songs. Even in the ballads, you hear her spine-tingling, raspy rock voice for a few seconds. My suggestion is to listen to "Old Town Road" first. She took a hip-hop + country fusion song and completely changed it to a rock n roll song! P.S. Love the Steelers hat!!!
She wrote this song about her mothers decent into mental illness, losing her a bit at a time. A week after this song came out her mom committed suicide.
The first time I saw this I felt like I was watching some kind of private conversation I had no business being around.
I agree. It's so beautifully done that I absolutely love it, but I'm also profoundly uncomfortable because it's so intensely personal. This doesn't stop me from watching it over and over again, but every time I feel like I should apologize to her for intruding.
*LoL!!* 😄
but, yes, it's incredibly beautiful & intense.💫
I think when she said at the end “that’s that one” she literally had to disconnect her emotions from the song, because she went really deep and had to come back to the present.
The first time I saw this, I cried: it was like watching someone's heart breaking right in front of me. All I could think was , " Oh s#$t."
She's finally getting the recognition she deserves. She was on Jimmy Fallon the other night performing with Mark Ronson and she won a grammy with her collaboration on a song she did with PJ Morton.
A broken wailing heart is what I hear....absolutely beautiful how she emotionally exposes herself on stage...captivating.
This song is gut wrenching to me everytime. I haven't listened to this in months, the pain hurts too much.
So much yes! I've never been so consistently emotionally affected by a song/artist
I’ve been watching this for hours. I’ve been crying for hours.
This performance is one of the most emotional i've ever seen ! It hits so hard every time
I took the “That’s that” comment as her feeling a bit awkward after pouring her heart out like that.
React to Yebba's Evergreen and her duet with Clark Beckham called Gravity. She's a very talented vocalist.
I was introduced to Yebba (birth name: Abbey) some months ago via YT reaction videos. This performance chokes me up; she's singing her profound heartbreak, sorrow, loss, grief...and her mother took her own life around this time, which is beyond sad. ~ Please consider reacting to Yebba's song, "Evergreen", and her duet of, "Gravity". TY! 🙂
I got the impression that her "that's that" at the end was her way of expressing a nice "fvck you" to the guy who inspired that song.
Pharie Queine ThAts exactly what I felt
I read somewhere that she was recording. That's why the audience was so quiet and stoic. And, she was just letting them know at the end she was done. BUT, your explanation was better. LOL
Pharie Queine 😂😂😂
This young lady has a voice that is emotional FIRE! So amazing! 🔥🎵❤️
This song and performance still gives me chills after watching it so many times over the last year or so
I love this song..I think when she says “That’s that one” she may be trying not to get too emotional on stage. Around the time this song was put out she also lost her mother to suicide. So I think she was trying real hard not to let it get to her while still trying to be soulful during the performance itself
A broken heart writes and sings the best songs
Oh HELL yes!!! I’d say Adele with some Aretha Franklin. This was a fun watch. Glad I caught it so early. Apparently her mom died not long before this performance, so that made it extra emotional. As far as another Yebba suggestion, try “Gravity” or “Evergreen”.
Also, I just saw and met Jinjer last weekend. SO great live...and so sweet in person. Tatiana hugged me unexpectedly.
I can't believe I didn't watch this reaction. U guys won me over ever since I watched your reaction to Dimash and said it was 'angelic'! U guys are awesome. 😁
I love her performance, but it always makes me feel a little... uncomfortable. Like I'm watching something so private and personal, and it's almost voyeuristic. Beautiful song and beautiful performance. Loved y'all's reaction :-)
I understand what you're saying but that's exactly why it's so phenomenal. I've NEVER been so affected by an artist. This is the stuff of greatness.
Both Yebba & Chris Stapleton have been my two favorite artists & musical obsessions for the last year or so. They are so good & you guys reacted to them both in a week. Thank you! Check out Yebba with Clark Beckham doing the song Gravity. Beyond great!
Mine too. Can you imagine a duet.
Yebba’s mom passed away either the day before or day of this performance. So that raw gut wrenching heartache your hearing is coming from the pain of that. But, I find it absolutely beautiful that she could redirect that emotion & emote the hell outta this song
Abbey (YEBBA) Smith is an amazing singer-songwriter. Her range and emotions are so good. She was this underground singer off the radar until this video My Mind.

now you have entered the world of Abbey Smith...(Yebba) you guys really NEED to do "Clark Beckham - Gravity feat. Abbey Smith by John Mayer" Abbey Smith AKA Yebba This is one of the most powerful duets done in recent years IMO
"Thats thats one.."
Holy shit, how does she say that after that performance. My god. She is so amazing.
In my opinion, Yebba and Beth Hart are the two most gifted and passionate singers around. Please react to her music video for Evergreen, it’s absolutely spectacular! She did that music video right after her mother committed suicide, it’s really quite moving. And if I’m not mistaken, the church it was filmed was the church her mother attended.
Abbey Smith aka Yebba is a blessed singer right here. Could you imagine her and Chris Stapleton doing a duet. Oh my!!!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Yebba.
YEBBA & BETH HART voices that will tear your ♥️ heart out !
I think she responds that way at the end because there is slight embarrassment at 1) her vulnerability and 2) what has happened to her. Not because she’s checking things off the list.
Stan FELT it.
He looked as if he was torn between his pain and hers. Powerful $h#t man
Lol yall should react to Yebba and Clark Beckham. Also, she’s more of a cross between Joss Stone, Kim Burrell, Jazmine Sullivan, and some Adele. But her favorite music style is Gospel.
Please react to Yebba & Clark Beckham Jr covering John Mayer's song "Gravity" it's absolutely ama-ZING!!!!! Chris Stapleton live version of "Whiskey & you"
you asked for more Zac Brown Band.....try "Jolene" & "Hwy 20 ride".
Also Haley Rhinehart ft Postmodern Jukebox's cover of "Creep" by Radiohead. Her voice is phenomenal. Love the channel Stan and Brian ☺️
Oh man guys, you gotta play Yebba with Clark beckham singing John Mayer’s song gravity. WILL BLOW YOUR MIND !! No shit!
@8:20 what an observation! she definitely is not as confident as most would think. even though her talent is out of this galaxy!
If you like this, listen to Yebba and Clark Beckham- Gravity!
If you haven't seen Larry from Les Twins dance to this song you must. You will not be disappointed
Thank you for honoring this request. She is something special.
I always like watching guys react to this song.. look like they wanna say they are deeply sorry for whatever they didn't even do..lol
Love her. Very powerful song.
This song...you don't just here Yebba..you FEEL Yebba💕 I agree with the comparison to Adele but Beth Hart? No way...there's no one out there today that can come close to Beth...best female singer by far🖤
Another great reaction and great voice. Do MARC BROUSSARD "HOME" And another Beth Hart " I'll Take Care of You"
I read she was nervous because this was the first time she was performing her own music. She's done many collaborations, my fav 2 are Gravity with Clark Beckham and Smoke with Luke Levenson
Please react to "Larry Bourgeois (Les Twins) dancing on My Mind by Yebba" ! She said it herself, he gave her song another life with his freestyle
Those runs are amazing
Her range is amazing with her beautiful voice. Gravity, Evergreen and How Deep is Your Love with PJ Mortenson.
I discovered her singing here on TH-cam five months ago and in my opinion is way better than Adele 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
You should react to evergreen by yebba.its about her mother. Simply beautiful
Perfect description - Adele and Beth Hart.
Please react to Clark Beckham and yebba
Watch Larry from Les Twins dancing on yebba-my mind
I Am a super fan of Beth Hart!! Song She dont love you the love version. Cross btwn beth hart and janice Joplin is her sound to me.
I've watched more than 10 reactions of this... I should stop😭
She reminds me of Jill Scott
Kyle Brown omg yes!! I’ve been trying to think who the heck she reminded me of and it’s jill! Thank you, that’s been annoying me since the sofar performance was posted!
THANK YOU! PLEASE react to “Yebba - Evergreen Official Video” Thank y’all and God bless!!!
React to the George Duke Band with Rachelle Ferrell, singing 'Waiting' in Montreaux 1997
The greatest duo since Laurel and Hardy
You guys should watch Yebba and Clark Beckham's video duet of a Dave Matthew's song called Gravity they did - AND try another Clark Beckham duet with another girl (cant remember her name) singing Tennessee Whisky by Chris Stapleton - I think you'd really appreciate them both!
Zachary Minton John Mayer did Gravity not Dave Matthews. Also, it’s with Madison Ward.
Jazmine Sullivan!!
Adele and Chris Stapleton....
Oh, Chris Stapleton done a tribute to Aretha Franklin when she passed away "Do right woman, Do right Man," Y'all definitely should check it out.
I LOVE Beth Hart. Hiding Under Water is pretty much my favorite.
She sounds like if you mix Fantasia with adele
I enjoyed your vid. You listened to her sing without over talking.
This song is so personal to her
LOL first 30 seconds and you had me laughing. Im subbing!
Please will yall check out Allen stone i promise you will not be disappointed. He writes most of his songs, i discovered him on American idol in 2018
Some of the songs are unaware, and brown eyed lovers, he is got soul it so unbelievable. He was on American idol doing his songs with two of the contestants.
Please, I love see your reactions .
IMHO he is a combination between Adele and Aretha Frankiin. I just love how she just drags you and you feel it with her. She's like, here, come and listen to my story.
Not he, but she
Too funny... about 4:08-4:11 in your video. The guy playing the guitar, has the neatest reaction to her voice. Check it out.!
I highly recommend 'Family Portrait' by Kim Jin Ho. The live version from Immortal Songs 2. An amazing vocalist that has real talent bleeding emotion into his music as well. This song in particular is a tribute to his late father.
th-cam.com/video/cS-IiArGmcU/w-d-xo.html
Please please react to Yebba and Clark Beckham Gravity! Subscribed because I love yebba and found this video. Good job guys!
Listen to Clark Beckem featuring Yerba. Going a cover some of John legendI gotta. Call gravity.
hi! 🙆🏾
you misunderstood her saying what she said at the end.. she's been through quite a lot, which you probably already know by now re:

that's that one!
She’s a mixture of Adele and The Clark Sisters
Yep I see that
I wish she will bring clark beckham on her concerts too
I'm so glad for you, you finally have Yebba in your life
Consider to react to something else th-cam.com/video/Ilu87o5iHUE/w-d-xo.html . It's totally different from anything else you reacted to.. It's Sorrys wildcard to GBB 20, a beatboxing competition. I love it.
India Arie..... And Adelle
Some of her vocalizations remind me of Ellie Goulding.
I can’t help but wonder if there is an influence.
Ellie often uses her voice as a nuanced instrument for an orchestrated effect in the same way.
Listen to Halcyon, and you’ll hear what I’m talking about.
Yebba is untouchable, in my mind.
I could stare into those all day. The man in the green shirt 👀
You must do do Yebba and Scott Beckham " Gravity"
Clark beckham
Adele, Beth Hart, and Eva Cassidy :)
alot of aretha vibes from her
She’s a mixture of Adele and Kim Burrell.
Elias Stewart and a bit of Jazmine Sullivan
I agree with you there. I am a vocal coach and I always like to emphasize how a song starts with the first note of the intro and the very last note. Vocalists sometimes forget about the instrumental part of the song. The guitarist is also there to create that mood. Her performance is fantastic but that quick “that’s that” broke the pain vibe too soon. Maybe it was too intense and she had to get out of that mood but it was too soon (not by much). I am so impressed by her vocal agility. She is wonderful.
She is a mix of Adelle Anita Baker and Toni Braxton
You should react to Nothing But Thieves!
I think you'd like Jeff Beck and Imelda May "Remember" :
th-cam.com/video/FF5mtyPo-Wk/w-d-xo.html
Mix between Adele and Erykah badu
She sounds like Adele and Jazmine Sullivan mix
Who hurt her! Someone drop an addy, I just wanna talk
Gravity by yebba
please check it out
React to Christina Aguilera 'Twice' epic endings
Adele and Amy Winehouse
You do request so how about November rain by guns and roses and please do the video!!! The video is one of the most viewed music videos of all time. You won’t regret it. Please please please do this one!!!
I think you guys got it right. She's a bit shy and reserved (and also humble) unless she's performing, and that is where her ability to project pain and passion shows itself.

Even in the ballads, you hear her spine-tingling, raspy rock voice for a few seconds. My suggestion is to listen to "Old Town Road" first. She took a hip-hop + country fusion song and completely changed it to a rock n roll song!
P.S. Love the Steelers hat!!!
You guys should check out holler boys by Ryan upchurch
It certain runs i think of Anita Baker
She wrote this song about her mothers decent into mental illness, losing her a bit at a time. A week after this song came out her mom committed suicide.
You guys are so slack... One guy is laughing... two old guys
Can you guys please react to feel again by Jovan Perez plsssssss
I'm sorry but you guys just didn't get it. You have to be emotionally dead to not have this song tear at your heart
