Shavona Antoinette Burton, Soloist - I Know I've Been Changed - Lincoln University Concert Choir Please Visit and Like Our Fan Page, Thanks so Much!! / shavonaantoinetteburton
When I first saw this on Facebook, I was so mesmerized. Her voice..it's so unique. So beautiful. I watched it and watched it again....fifteen minutes and i'm still watching it. Going through some things in my life and I haven't been completely changed, but after watching this video...I know God has to be doing something with me....because I know for a fact...I am not the same. P.s. this song needs to be in a movie. Beautiful voice.
I literally search this video every couple of months because it’s just that amazing. Her voice is angelic. I’ve sent this to so many people. Just pure talent. A GIFT!!!!!
Ive been in the streets since 17 on my own and I have seen and heard it all. Been lectured to, preached to, judged and comforted, but never in my life has anything touched me and inspired me to keep going towards positivity like this Woman singing this song! My favorite Uncle died last week and this is the first time im able to cry about it. He loved to sing, had a anointed voice and i just wish we would have got to hear this together. To Shavona Antoinette Burton, THANK YOU
Our love, thoughts and prayers go out to you... Thanks so much for sharing, it means so much to us and so many others who read the comments. Be encouraged ...
why make it a race thing? people don't go round on Adele videos saying #whiteexcellence ...why cant we appreciate people for what they achieve and their character as opposed to meriting their race? She is SUCH a beautiful singer
I've been so depressed lately. Like I'm carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders & just hearing this strengthens the soul & makes me feel like I'll be just fine 🙌🏽 thank you
You will be just fine my brother...keep calling the name "Jesus"...there is power in His name. He hears you, so don't give in...shame the devil and make him flee. God is on your side. Be blessed!
Hearing her sing this made me reflect on how through my own pain, I ignored myself and poured my care into other people. But everything I swept under the rug Over the year's just hit me at one time. Her voice was the key to the void i ignored.
Why's it gotta be a black thing, I think her voice, and the whole choir is amazing... I'm white, I'm 35, I'm a conservative, and from Mississippi. It's a song about praise, the heavens know no color.
I STAN I understand where he's coming from, I dislike when Africans always saying shit about Africa, the shit is irritating as hell. Americans in general knows how great we are and always have been. Saying things like black excellence is a spit in the face to white people, we should stop saying the shit
Yudah El and I disagree with that , it’s nothing wrong with showing love to your own race , i don’t see nothing wrong with Whites saying white excellence, Blacks saying black excellence, or Hispanics saying hispanic excellence. How come us saying black excellence is a spit to the whites face when it’s more than just blacks and whites🤔? It’s nothing wrong with showing love to your race as long as you’re not being ignorant which I doubt the lady above was doing.🤷🏾♀️
It's not enough for her voice to be angelic. But then reading the comments her mother responds with such class. Y'all did it, I'm proud from afar! Amen! God bless!
This video is on soooo many sites, it's hard to keep up. It's over a million views on FB. Praise God the He is the author and finisher, He uses social media for His bidding!
I have probably listened to this 100 times. She is so talented an anointed. It baffles me how most singers out now cannot sing to save their life, and she sings so effortlessly.
I'm an atheist and feel changed somehow. Her voice makes me want to believe. If there ever was an angel on earth; she's one. I hope she'll look past my heathen ways and marry me. We can get to know each other later but she needs to know that I luh her. Keep sanging Miss; the world's watching and wishing you the best. We need more from you.
George. I don't know who Victoria Wade is... and I wish her much grace and peace... But I'm CERTAIN you're right. I can imagine that something, somehow was changed inside ALL of us because of her voice. I believe it's God. But for you... I'm glad that you felt that light touch as well! : ) In His Grace, ebonyjanice
EbonyJanice Peace My ebony princess I appreciate you more than you'll know. Brandon Lee I'm not affected nor moved by you or those that hide behind another Christians achievements. Make your own mark in the world and move people with your convictions. I doubt that will ever happen cause ones attitudes are one and the same with their spirit. So it's no coincidence that you're here to spew hatred and have nothing to contribute to the actual video. Self-loathe is a horrid thing and it is so cowardly that it needs another to survive. I'm not the one. I'VE BEEN CHANGED. I'm not here for you, I came here to commend the beautiful, angelic, strong Black woman in the video. There are other channels for religious debate. This is not it. This is INSPIRATION and LOVE. Let's build on that for a change. Me being different and finding solice in a belief alien to me should tell you how powerful this video is. And I'm not the only one moved by it. I admire the young lady's light and talent, her voice carried a liight so radiant that it makes one want to be one with her sanctuary...enough rambling...
I saw this in 2016 the night my grandmother died. She literally came and said goodbye, one last time. Said “im gone, honey!” Not even an hour later did my mother call with the news. We were so close that she came to me first. God knows i miss her. I imagine my life being much better had she survived.
I've never heard anyone sing like this!If anyone were to try and duplicate her sound it'd be so damn hard and she makes it look literally effortless.Come through #blackgirlmagic
Beautiful momma get you little angel to The Voice cause she has the most gorgeous voice I have ever heard. She gave me goosebumps. She sings beautifully.
Beautiful, watched it over and over on Facebook, then I had to come and find it on youtube. Much thanks for the person on FB who linked to the location of Shavona's name, I didn't think I'd like it when it first started but in the end it touched me. Wonderful choice to both the soloist AND the choir. This song touches me and makes me happy at the same time.
I remember when Lincoln University choir came to visit and perform for us here at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University about 2 years ago. That day i had decided to go to the auditorium and listen to the choir because i had no classes during the time scheduled for their performance. Needless to say, their performance was breath-taking!! Of all the songs they sang that day, this one literally blew me away. She has an extremely beautiful voice and i believe it's more than just talent, it's a gift from God. Through her incredible voice this song was able to speak to me and it moved me. The choir then sang the national anthem of South Africa and that too was amazing. I haven't been able to forget this song since and I'm delighted to have heard it once more. :-)
I came across this while searching for some comfort in dealing with the recent death of my good friend. She was a church singer as well & we spoke of this song often as it is one of my favorites. This young lady's voice is healing & as I listen to this rendition for the umpteenth time, I can feel the joy in knowing that my good friend is happy with the Lord overriding my sadness. Thank you for posting, thank you for cultivating this young lady's talent & God bless you all. Much love. R.I.P. Vernitta Griswold.
this is the best cover of this song I've seen and she made me cry het voice is so beautiful I hope she gets signed and makes an album do I can be the first one to buy it

P.s. this song needs to be in a movie. Beautiful voice.
B Symone the same here but i saw it on worldstarhiphop

Same here her voice is so amazing like its pulling me in my awareness is focus on her voice and the fact that she having so much fun doing it
I pray she remains with this style and meaning
This song has been in many movies. I believe one of those movie is Color Purple.

Pure heart!
That control, intonation, and the feeling... That cannot be taught.. She is truly blessed!
MsLewis85 exactly. That intonation, control, and tone is just.... perfect
@@kylesummers2462 How is it perfect intonation when they keep getting flatter and flatter until they change key one whole step by the songs end?

+ohtebowah she said what she said
Yes!! #blackexcellence #blackgirlexcellence !!
Anyone thinks the choirs singing is just as swift as the waves in the ocean :) just beautiful. She needs more recognition
They is a great comparison. Beautiful and foreboding
I was thinking this ❤️
Tumblr bought me here..... Wow her voice is giving me chills
Tumblr led me here too lol

The angels have certainly called her name. What a heavenly voice. I got chills!

I come back often. This is amazing.
Yup I do the same, lol I’m here right now watching again
Who’s still watching this in 2023??
A lot of people!!
I’ve listened to her sing this song off and on for 5years and I’ve yet to find someone who’s done it better! By far my favorite version! Go Shavona! 💕
Lashun Pace did a great version of this song too .
I've been so depressed lately. Like I'm carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders & just hearing this strengthens the soul & makes me feel like I'll be just fine 🙌🏽 thank you
Hope you get through! Keep pressing on!
I speak strength, comfort and encouragement to you. Sending love and prayers your way...
Elijah West Same here 😥👼

You will be just fine my brother...keep calling the name "Jesus"...there is power in His name. He hears you, so don't give in...shame the devil and make him flee. God is on your side. Be blessed!
She really does have the voice of an angel.
So powerful and pure it makes me want to cry.
slee Lo WORD! lmaO
Damn
Word up
who else got a chill all over watching this vid
Why isn't she famous. her voice is angelic goodness..
DiABLO SS maybe she doesn't want to be famous
DiABLO SS right was thinking the same exact thing
💯
The angels in heaven done signed her name. How much more fame could anyone need?
She is not famous because she is spiritual. Thank God.
Damn, I need an album, this video isn't enough. She has one of the prettiest voices I've ever heard... Speechless. Real talent
J. BB I feel you
I would say give that girl a music deal but the industry is so corrupt, i feel it would taint her pure voice.
facts
Yes
Exactly. She needs God's Platform. My heart would break to see her swallowed up by the wickedness of the music industry.
True.
She could be an independent artist.
Why does she not have a record deal?! She has an amazing voice and obviously the passion for it
superfan2122 she doesnt need one. Record deals only corrupts
The insane vocal agility and the perfectly executed vibrato got my soul straight up leaving my body 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
2:59 - 3:02 Wow.... Speechless
Gerald Blake 0:00 - 3:24 had me speechless
Gerald Blake that falling run was rude as hell!
Right!
@@McKoyjb gave me chills!!
She is the actual angel she is singing about
You're so sweet, thank you!
her voice is purely unique... i've never heard any of these notes before. i'm truly blessed to have stumbled across this video
Hearing her sing this made me reflect on how through my own pain, I ignored myself and poured my care into other people. But everything I swept under the rug Over the year's just hit me at one time. Her voice was the key to the void i ignored.
she would be a great opera singer!! wow what a voice
Ma'am, ma'am. YO BABY CAN SANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SMH!!! LORD
Literally replayed this 25 times 🙌🏿😍💕😩 Yess this blessed voice Lord 🙌🏿💕💕 #BlackExcellentAtIt'sFinest
Me too
Why's it gotta be a black thing, I think her voice, and the whole choir is amazing... I'm white, I'm 35, I'm a conservative, and from Mississippi. It's a song about praise, the heavens know no color.
Nick Van Wyhe she never said that it's a black thing she said black excellent at its finest.
I STAN

I have shown many people this video. Truly beautiful voice.
+Emily-Faye Kent Thanks so much!
her voice is my religion now
I got goosebumps within the first few seconds
I call this "anointed". Baby didnt need no vocal lessons. That voice was birth within. God bless you honey.
tiffany landrum Blessings to you!

Hebrews are from South Africa
Tamma Tahlia lol no we’re not
Jeremiah C Haha you will be shocked! czcams.com/video/GXegcFm1RFE/video.html
Came across a snippet of this video on tumblr and I had to come find it. #wearemagic
i got goosebumps when she hit the really high note at 2:05, truly amazing.
Ironically...Worldstar brought me here. I want more of her.
Isn't it astonishing? He uses all things for His glory. Stay tune...more to come.
Made me cry in my dorm...
this baby is touching my soul bless you and keep it up
diamond woods. Your encouraging words are very appreciated 💗
I cried 2 tears to this. Just beautiful.
Her voice is angelic !!
It's not enough for her voice to be angelic. But then reading the comments her mother responds with such class. Y'all did it, I'm proud from afar! Amen! God bless!
Back here in 2024 😊❤ her voice is soo angelic
2022 and I still remember her
I honestly don't know why this doesn't have like a million views. Her voice is godly. Wish I could hit them notes.
It's viral all over social media
This video is on soooo many sites, it's hard to keep up. It's over a million views on FB. Praise God the He is the author and finisher, He uses social media for His bidding!
Still one of my favorite videos ever. Suuuuch a powerful voice. Effortless.
Still loving this version today. I think I was pregnant or had just had my daughter when I first heard this about 8yrs ago.
I have probably listened to this 100 times. She is so talented an anointed. It baffles me how most singers out now cannot sing to save their life, and she sings so effortlessly.
Still back in 2021, chills n all 🤲🏾❤😊🙌🏾❣
Same still here. I love it here!!
Shes an angel on earth! Why is she not singing at the SuperBowl!??
Literally the prettiest voice I've heard and I come from a singing family😂. Shavonna your head voice is everything and then some.
I'm an atheist and feel changed somehow. Her voice makes me want to believe. If there ever was an angel on earth; she's one. I hope she'll look past my heathen ways and marry me.

You haven;t been changed. Stick to your atheism please.
Victoria Wade Okay Ms. Jesus. Let me know when I'm there.
George. I don't know who Victoria Wade is... and I wish her much grace and peace... But I'm CERTAIN you're right. I can imagine that something, somehow was changed inside ALL of us because of her voice. I believe it's God. But for you... I'm glad that you felt that light touch as well! : )

I've watched this so many times that when I type 'youtube' in the address bar, it auto-finishes my sentence to the link of this video.
She got a instrument in her throat... That was beautiful... The arrangements were dope too..
The blood and soul of our ancestors lives in us and its flame can never be extinguished.
I remember seeing this on Twitter years ago and being in awe because of her voice. Every now and then I have to come back and watch this.
