People need to understand that Chaka is 70 years old. Also she's always been a very nervous performer. She is looking amazing and has got up there on the stage, probably terrified and got into her groove very well, with a little help from her friends. But don't forget that under the wigs and sequins this is an old lady. Give her some allowances.
you must be very young! 70 is NOT old. but yes, she does look good, and she doesn't sound bad. doesn't sound as strong as she did years ago, but that's an individual thing and not an age thing. e.g. Tom Jones is sounding more powerful than he ever did. And he is 80+
@@vegansweetieomg I’m so glad I read your comment. I was in the middle of typing: wow that’s so cool you saw her in the 60s and she is still going! Smh I need to start reading slower😂
Exactly, I am impressed that can still sing given her being a smoker of many years, her problems with subtance abuse and most importantly her laziness.
One of the all time greats. I love her so much and always have- this award is so deserved. I pray she gets the help she needs. I don’t think this has anything to do with her age.
@@CelestialGatez No Great artist goes unpunished. And Chaka is no exception. It’s not surprising, but it is amazing what is considered as talent today.
I don't give a s*** or a damn of what I have to say or how I'm saying it, but there is no one in this whole world who can top the ghetto funk vocals of this incredible amazing woman CHAKA KHAN. Even as an old woman, she is still knocking these young singers out the block. She is just beyond beyond, there are no words to describe this gem. Her music will and forever be TIMELESS.
I can't believe she's really 70 years old. He was one of the best idols when I was dreaming of music as a career. I'm 50 years old now. I am Japanese. I'm glad that I really respected your singing voice that never gets old.
Thank You Chaka! Well deserved Honor for You. H.E.R. btw is getting cooler and stronger from Year to Year. Very cool and outstanding Performance of Chaka Kahn and her Friends.
This is scary to watch she was sober and this mess they do at these damn Grammys is beyond crazy when u have to many yes’s people around u and she looks like she is drugged with something I’m so pissed off to watch her go threw this I’m telling yall know the industry wants her catalog this is just the beginning I’m just goin pray she can fight this and live a happy sober life and continue to shine for many years to come 😭😭😭😭😭
Glad that Chaka was finally inducted. Ive been a fan of hers since I was in 2nd grade I'm currently age 52. It's just a shame that she clearly wasn't clean and sober . Addiction is a terrible disease and she's been in rehabs on an off for decades. My hope is that she can once and for all get clean before she leaves this world.
Unfortunately she’s been like that for years 😢I thought she was touring with her daughter, who was helping with the vocals like HER. I just jam to her old songs which were too short..,
I saw her perform on new years eve at the Sound factory bar in Manhattan, then at the Beacon theater, hands down one of my favorite performers. One of the Queens of music.
She looks so young and pretty you forget she's in her 70s. It takes a lot on the body and lungs to sing with the power she puts into her songs. Even her screams and shouts go along with the music. She is a pro. Her nerves got to her at first, but she seems to relax singing with other people. A queen diva!!! Hope Mary J was there to see it. I can't think about one without the other. Was she being inducted? They usually have someone else do the tribute to the inductees, but I'm glad she sung for herself. What a treat for the audience!!!
Love Chaka, but it's clear that she's under the influence during this performance. Saw her @ Cap Jazz Fest a few yrs ago & she was high & terrible. Glad she received this honor, but she's probably still using. Prayers up for my sistah. 🙏🏽
God bless her. She's had some struggles. I live in L.A. and drove past a a center for battered women that she and Halle Berry funded a couple decades ago. She's done alot of good.
Her chakaisms and sound delivery is apart of her specialty..her real fans and lovers of her voice knows this!!! She's not cheating the lyrics or notes nor do I believe she is inebriated (she has spoken on her many years sobriety in many interviews)
Chaka is 70! Wow! That is a young old person. Your voice does not waiver if you keep up with it. She still sounds good, but this may have been an off night or she could have been a little sick. She has been singing these songs for over 40 years.
I got anxiety on their part. I was like who is right, but I guess H.E.R knew where to start because I would have followed Chaka. Glad H.E.R was so professional.
Time has stood still for this beautiful, awesome lady. I'm 62. I remember when Rufus first came out. Chaka hasn't aged a bit and neither has her voice. Brilliant. BRAVA !!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Chaka is NOT the problem here and her voice at 70 is still impeccable... She is EVERY WOMAN but certainly NOT a SIA😅 or others to sing WITH. That Voice is like no OTHER SO LET HER sing alone WITH NO OTHER
Chaka doesn't need any extra HELP. She doesn't even need music just her voice. Unless you have Aretha Patti and SOMEONE else who can sing as well without all the SHOW. Then let her sing alone with her voice as the instrument. Give her her props her flowers and then SOME.
Chaka needs to go back in rehab. She has said in interviews that she has been there 3 times maybe more. She is a hit and miss performer. Sometimes she hits it and sometimes she misses it. This night she missed it. Hang in there Chaka we love you!
I dont care what ppl said, despites all of that, she sings better at her age that all those pop stars at their 20!
She's still drop dead gorgeous
yes she sure is
she makes me cry how good her voice is
and how she treated sia

This Queen still sounds great and looks great wow
Please that woman high.
Many people wear extensions and wigs and weaves. In movies and in music biz and everyday.

She may have been overwhelmed by the occasion but, when I saw her perform live in her 60s she blew me away!
Still doing it.
,
I thought you said in the 60s 😂😂😂 I was like well yeah that’s her prime
@@vegansweetieher prime was the 90s
@@vegansweetieomg I’m so glad I read your comment. I was in the middle of typing: wow that’s so cool you saw her in the 60s and she is still going! Smh I need to start reading slower😂
Chaka still got it ...she may have had a lil' buzz on but she still da' bomb❤❤❤
lol thats what i'm thinking
Nicely put….
For performing at 70 she's amazing
stoned and buzzed,,, but hits all the notes absolutely perfectcly
A little?
Chaka Khan is one of the best singers in the world I have loved since I was a teenager ❤❤❤❤
me too since i was 13
A legend who’s career has spanned decades ❤ Thank you for all the music you’ve given us
I’ll always root for her because she’s been through hell and is capable of so much more than this
Exactly, I am impressed that can still sing given her being a smoker of many years, her problems with subtance abuse and most importantly her laziness.
I don't like when the singers I love smoke but that being said she still has a lot of voice left. My problem is why does she seem high
Most underrated female singer of all time.
Unappreciated!!!
Never underated
10 grammies, rock & roll HOF, inspired a generation of singers. How?
H.E.R is a sweetheart for helping our aunty
One of the all time greats. I love her so much and always have- this award is so deserved. I pray she gets the help she needs. I don’t think this has anything to do with her age.
Well you are not certain. Speculation isn't the nicest thing...

Man those songs remind me of my youth in the 80,s Great songs
Yes!
During my early - late teenage years!
Who is the young Girl ?
A Legend. 70 Years Old.
With that shining, brass instrumental alike timbre, she can just be mumbling words and I still get chills...
She is tough. She always sings like this live. Love her!
She looks stunning considering she's already 70 , and her voice is amzing
This O.G. is a LEGEND! PeriodT! Love her! 👏🥂❤

😂 I hear crying she makes me so happy
Thats a pioneer right there, one of the most talented and greatest innovators of SOUL MUSIC - SHOW AND GIVE RESPECT!
I can't believe she's really 70 years old. He was one of the best idols when I was dreaming of music as a career. I'm 50 years old now. I am Japanese. I'm glad that I really respected your singing voice that never gets old.
I witnessed that performance - every time she opened her mouth, I was just in awe. Her voice is piercing and hits you right in your heart.
Does she ever get old! She is incredibly beautiful and shining!
They should of had her music vocals playing with her. She looks amazing and her back up dancers kept her up! 💯
Time takes a toll. Then why the hell does Chaka still look and sound so good? It isn't fair 😂
God Bless Her! She deserves it......
Thank You Chaka! Well deserved Honor for You. H.E.R. btw is getting cooler and stronger from Year to Year. Very cool and outstanding Performance of Chaka Kahn and her Friends.
No doubt!
Bummed to see Chaka looking and sounding loaded. Always hoping she’s stayed clean.
This is scary to watch she was sober and this mess they do at these damn Grammys is beyond crazy when u have to many yes’s people around u and she looks like she is drugged with something I’m so pissed off to watch her go threw this I’m telling yall know the industry wants her catalog this is just the beginning I’m just goin pray she can fight this and live a happy sober life and continue to shine for many years to come 😭😭😭😭😭

Something is going with Chaka, shes a beautiful lady, and still sounds awesome.
Absolutely one of the best ever . I'm a dopey New Jersey guy who heard her once and fell in love with her voice. I'm so happy for her'
I mean, it just don't make no sense how beautiful she STILL is. She does not age in the face at all.
Congratulations Chaka! We Love you sis! ❣️🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is pure life, without any sound correction. For this it is good.
The band the Singers And Chaka Khan!!! I just fainted. lol straight heat !!!!
She looks good!!!
Love Chaka, but it's clear that she's under the influence during this performance. Saw her @ Cap Jazz Fest a few yrs ago & she was high & terrible. Glad she received this honor, but she's probably still using. Prayers up for my sistah. 🙏🏽
God bless her. She's had some struggles. I live in L.A. and drove past a a center for battered women that she and Halle Berry funded a couple decades ago. She's done alot of good.
I'm guessing most of her performances have had that element. Check out her recent NPR Tiny Desk concert. Pretty lucid there and it was pretty cool.
Wow Sia ft. Chaka Khan!
Loving this song. Tamera is so versatile. This one touches deep.❤ Wishing for you to get the recognition she has deserved for a long time.
Chaka is awesome! I love music because of her! #we aint worthy
please exclude me. she sounds like she has speech defect, and her belts are like yelling cats. not to mention her rudeness and arrogance.
Young girl is great 👍 she went to Chakas rescue. Great pair. Love them both.
Sia❤
I dont know what people are seeing but I dont see any high person on stage just a live performer improvising. She still sounds and looks great!
She IS just improvising.
❤❤
Maaaan. This makes me miss Prince. He’d have fit so perfectly into this set, performing his hit with Chaka.
Congrats Chaka well deserved and over due. Chi town stand tffffff upppppppppp 😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

That's right Chaka Khan for president she got my vote
No words, Congratulations to a true QUEEN. 😘❤️🥳🙏🏼🇨🇦🎤🎶
This woman is amazing.

Knew her well in Atlanta in the mid 1970’s. Smokin Hot Performer! This is a Great Video with Great Audio and Mix.
Love it. That duet of Sweet Thing is just so powerful!
😂😂😂 powerful is such a hyperbole
@musicstan6362 I totally concur my friend.
Love to see Chaka Khan!
This is great!!!!! Wow!!!! Only one Chaka khan
Holy sh*t how old is Chaka? She looks and sounds amazing 😮❤❤❤
Wowwee this woman is Wonderful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love her sweet, bold performances. Her backup singers are fabulous, per usual.
fender Cobra blue AUII is amazing!! climax 4:06
Chaka absolutely dynamic and loved the performance with H.E.R.
I got anxiety on their part. I was like who is right, but I guess H.E.R knew where to start because I would have followed Chaka. Glad H.E.R was so professional.
Ela ainda é e sempre será maravilhosa! Love Chaka.
Chaka 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I love her ❤
The great Chaka Khan no one can duplicate 🎉

I agree, I wish she could’ve sang alone

@@vickiveer3597 Chaka wears hers very. BIG and very well just as she sings.
She still looks good 👍 😍
Chaka needs to go back in rehab. She has said in interviews that she has been there 3 times maybe more. She is a hit and miss performer. Sometimes she hits it and sometimes she misses it. This night she missed it. Hang in there Chaka we love you!
Background Singers & Band On point!!

My god, she is gorgeous !!!!!! What!!!!
