H.E.R., SWV & Shai Perform 'A Song For You', 'Right Here' & 'If I Ever Fall in Love' | Dear Mama: / vh1 - Zábava
Didn't want to watch the show because my mom just passed away. Decided to watch this little video clip and H.E.R's performance had me balling my eyes out. Miss my mommy so much!! To all who still have your mom, treat her like gold, spoil her, and enjoy every moment you have letting her know daily how special she is to you. Don't allow anything or anyone to hinder or affect your relationship in any way. Thank God I always let my mom know she was the best mom anyone could have and told her not having a dad in my life had zero affect on me because she made up for that missing part where I was 100% content. Happy up coming mother's day to all !!!
Sorry for the loss of your mom...Glad she was there when your father wasn't. From a daddy's girl standpoint I'm also sorry you didnt get to experience a love only a father can give. Again I'm glad you had your mother's love. Wishing you strength and blessings.
Sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family!
Bless you🙏
Nancy Sample I’m so sorry for your loss!! Please accept my deepest sympathy!! God bless you through this journey!!!
So sorry
Aww her mom is so proud, crying tears of joy. She sounds like a cross between Alicia and Lauryn. She is an old soul.
Right !! She kinda look like Lauryn
Yaaaassssss she is!! ❤️
Beautiful song and meaningful words. WOW!! Your mom could be your sister easy.
The first time i saw this i thaught the same thing!🔥🔥🔥
the funny thing is, she's been told this since she was little! it's so very endearing. 😁
H.E.R is currently in a league of her own as an artist. Dope singer, unique sound, and an amazing pianist. Not many around at present. It's like she was born before.
And H.E.R. guitar work isn't too bad
She
Yessss
Her in Alicia are in the same category
@@godsgirl7201 I actually don't think H.E.R is a level above Alicia, especially her voice, plus she's a beast on the guitar.
Black and Filipino is such a combo to be good singer.
Sometime the oddest MIXES produce MAGIC like HER!
Factssss
HER hair is ALL REAL & HER's,so don't hate or trip
im saying!!!
Damn fr shes filipino too that's like a cheat code lol
Wondering why the young lady in the crowd was so emotional... it’s HER’s mother 😅 wow!
Donny Hathaway's daughter and granddaughter.
SAME!!!!!! lol
The song is an emotional impact to anyone that can relate to H.E.R's musical experience about her mom, or a personal feeling to someone they loved that have past in their lives. It's so touching and so beautiful to hear songs that keeps us grounded and appreciate life.
Excuse me????????
Go find the water they drink!!!
H.E.R was the best thing that has happened to this damn industry
Shai and SWV taking me back to my teenage years man i miss the 90s the golden era of hip hop R&B😭😭❤👏
this ain’t 90 wahtchuchutrain I on?
👀💜🔹💕💯🔥🥗
Not too many people are talking about Shai performance 😭 they killed it
Agreed. Side note though… how are we not talking about the lead singer’s lace front 😅😂😂😂😅
@@MrJojojo110 that’s not that important tbh😅 it’s just a lace front, it happens sometimes
@@MrJojojo110 uhmmm that’s his hair
@@MrJojojo110 ...I do believe that's that man's hair...
YESS LORDDDDDDD I KEEP REWINDING THAT PART
Seriously, let's protect H.E.R., the music industry has been truly blessed.
tyrone bates She must be protected at all costs! Have you listened to “Lord is Coming” live?
Sadly, there’s countless woman (and men) in the black community who will not, bc they consider her Black, “merely” mixed.
I’m so grateful I didn’t see any of that teardown in this particular comment section, or perhaps have wisened up to not scrolling so far down.
Let’s all protect us all.💜🌈🌟
I think she's just kind of average...but hey this generation use to common.
muzi gwayi it’s amazing!
@Imani Alexander bullshit!
Her vibe reminds me of young Alicia Keys, HER is so talented! I wish her the best.
It's crazy that U say that ... Keys is/was her mentor!!!
I can definitively see Alicia's influence then. HER is not copying or emulating Alicia at all! But I'm not surprised that she was her mentor she does reminds me of young Alicia Keys circa 2001 -2005: Crazy talented musician, very soulful, feminine but tomboyish, kinda mysterious too etc. I love the whole vibe.
I knew someone would have thought my thoughts. I searched for u. Lol...her voice reminds me of her so much. Bloody beautiful. An a nice change in 2019. 👏🏾👸🏾😍
@@saspirella09 Hahaha! great minds thinks alike lol!
I never heard of HER. What is one of her songs?
Her Mommy's so proud of her; reminds me of my Mommy being proud of me. God Bless all Families everywhere.
HER's mom is a frontline worker too. She's a nurse.
@@rumblefish9 Well that's wonderful. God Bless Her.
Her mom mustve been very proud. Any parents dream is to see their kids dream come true.
Can we talk about Shai slaying they still sing down!!!!!!
Yeesss, I said y'all better take y'all time with this song...I am amazed at how they preserved their voices.
Yessss. STILL.
akilimackey Yea I was impressed as well. Singing LIVE with no backing track. Harmonies was right. 😌
Those old guys are they a tribute band?
I was hoping back street boys be on there five fans a real treat
H.E.R is bringing pure music back to the Industry. I am so grateful she is sharing her talents with us. A true artist.
So very right! With all the trouble we have nowadays, I am blessed to find something to help my faith, we are much better than whats happening, rise above.
#love
Her voice just glides back and forth across the musical scale so effortlessly the sign of a true vocalist
the way she serenaded the crowd it takes real talent to do that.
My daddy use to sing that song to my momma in the 80s...RIP mommy and daddy.
Teresa Jenkins bless your beautiful family!
Teresa Jenkins this song came out around 92/93 not in the 80’s do ur research
@@mizannwells8381 LEON RUSSELL VERSION of the song. smh...bless your heart...I stated song not artist. Please use reading comprehensive or ask questions if you dont understand before you try to check me.
Teresa Jenkins Sry my bad I thought u were talking bout the group Shai. Yes I know about Donny and Leon so again sry for the confusion
@@mizannwells8381 you good
Singing A Classic By
DONNY HATHAWAY?? H.E.R Nailedddddd It 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
She did nail it. Leon Russell wrote it so many years ago.
I love R&B lgbtQ community please subscribe for fun times with me Dontrel Dontrel
Ashley Kyra not too many can!!
@@TheDriftwoodlover Leon wrote it but Donny took it to the next level and made it a classic. Respect to Leon but Donny's version is the one!!
I love this song!
I'm convinced that H.E.R. is secretly in her 40s.
I love Monica’s energy in the audience. She was so happy to watch ALL the performers!
So cool to see her jamming to the songs of her contemporaries...
Still crushing on Monica too. What a dope era of music
Monica is always a cheerleader. She's just a beautiful ray of light.
SWV killer performance. These ladies still got it going on. Koko was so energetic.
I wanna wish my mother "Sandra Raye" a heavenly Mother's day and A Happy Early 60th Birthday (May 16, 1959 - January 5, 2012) I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU.....
🤗
@@vadiamondgirl thank you😇
@@coreyraye5197 you are very much welcome
@@vadiamondgirl 😍😘🤗
Corey Raye she’s watching over you 🕊
The way Luke James was looking at HER and singing along... 😭
prince amoakwa what's the timestamp of that?
@@Nalaroar 2:19
That song was sung by the Late Great Donnie Hathaway nobody can do it better, This young lady is an awesome musician lyricist etc I'm proud of her.
Whitney Houston sang it wayyyy better. But this performance is not so bad.
@@Lutz-ke9to can’t believe I’m saying this, but Donnie sung it better than Whitney. 2 of the greatest ever though, obviously.
Still has his version on replay.
Whitney cantou lindamente tbm!!!❤
Coko still sounds the same if not better than the original SWV records. She has one of the best voices in the music industry. She can hold her own with the best of them. Love her!
SHAI did not come to play!!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
They sholl didn't...gave me chills Guh...
I don't understand why people don't give Shai the credit they deserve in music. They were just as good as Boyz 2 Men, their acapellas were insanely good. and people still treat them like nothing... one verse? that's all they got?
@@jwalk31 I agree they were my favorite back in the day.
I aggree. I was always a fan of SHAI. They were very much under rated. I think it had a lot to do with their material as opposed to skill level.
Jene' Walker they didn't have Babyface.
H.E.R. nailed the piano playing from that song. Impressive!
She plays 5 instruments she like Prince on the guitar like Larrry Graham on the bass guitar very talented just CZcams her
I would’ve been so nervous playing that!
I was very impressed Because she is still very young to play a classic like that is pure talent.
Makes me proud to be Filipino on a very personal level. Love her sound. Cheers to H.E.R.
H.E.R is one of the best this generation has produced... She could have thrived in any era of music the girl is COLD
I don't like seeing people cry because then I cry 😭😭😭😭 such a beautiful soul and voice!!!! H E.R. is life 🙌🏾👏🏾💯💯💯💯
mane ive trying to cra for last 39 yrs[i get close but no full release]
👀🔹🥗💜
COCO’S VOICE IS A POWERHOUSE!!! STILL AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS WOW!!!
Nikita Richardson and She was dancing!! Amazing!!
Oh hell yeaaaa! Swv still got it! Seen them live in NZ last year and omg what a great experience! Great show!! Luv them!!!
CoCo was and still is my love!!!! She still got it!
Coco has the sexiest voice on the planet in my opinion!!
Look at tiny funny odd old looking
Ass!! Sad, she the same age as swv, but instead looks LIKE a creep old white lady.
H.E.R. is such a gifted and special person. She is highly musically inclined. Love how she plays the 🎹 , the 🎸, and the drums. Her mom looks so proud of her daughter.
I'm proud of her for paying tribute to R&B legends like Donny Hathaway. If she stay on this path she's going to be a legend to give honors too.
I can FEEL the pride of her mother as she shed a tear listening to her daughter perform. Simply beautiful!!!
Great voice
Omg noway her mother looks that young I thought it was someone else maybe her girlfriend 😳 😅 who knows lol
@@neelumjaza4322Asian don’t raisin lol
she is playing TF out of that piano, I love HER & Donny Hathaway
The cool thing about the 90s is that people weren't pretending to be something they weren't. Nobody cared if you were rich or poor.
I love how Monica and Ashanti are up singing 😍😍😍
H.E.R is well beyond her years and talent is off the charts from playing instruments to writing amazing lyrics...she is the real deal....
Soul has no age. Folks just discount those of us with young bodies.
Biggest mistake. HUGE.
I totally agree and she is a special soul
Shai was smooth, they didn’t overdo it, thank goodness.
😂😂😂Exactly👌
Yess thank goodness 😂
😆
SWV was like a breath of fresh air when they came out ! “Boy there you go you’re telling me that you love me “ 🥰 idk how many times I’ve watched this just for their performance.
Me too hehe
A rendition I didn’t know I needed or existed I love H. E. R. Just a amazing voice for a Queen
A supernatural 😍 ♥
❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😮😮😅❤❤❤😂
Stop lying online
@@amonkie.Lshe stayed in one pitch range
@@HealerOriowoppoolB
What did she do that the average contestant on American idol can’t do?
HER mother looks exactly the same as when Gabi was just a 10year old performing on the view.
I literally just watched the clip when she was 10. It brought me to this clip. I’ve been sleeping on H.E.R. I’m now a fan.
@@melissascholfield1162 Same here! Yes!!!
I was thinking the same thing lmaooo
Melissa Scholfield same
At first I was like, who is that woman they keep showing in the audience. Then, I found out H.E.R is mixed race.
SWV has me throwing on my jumper and timbs 😂
Have you listened to james graham version of a song for you
OKKKKKK
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣... for real!
😹😹😹
LMAO!!! Not the umper!!! 😂😂😂😂
Shai was awesome!!!! SWV, and H.E.R were amazing!!!! Great performances!!
Shai and SWV took me right back to 1992 can't believe it has been 30 years since both groups dropped their debut albums i can still remember the lady i had a crush on when i was listening to those classic albums and songs especially "Weak" "You're always on my mind" and Shai "waiting for the day" if i could go back and just experience those days for one last time that would be great LOL. long live the Nineties the golden era of RNB Swing.
HER did a wonderful job 💞💯👏👏👏, she is what real R&B represents for 2019 & beyond
Shayla Washington 💯💯💯
Definitely she's one of the like 3 artists under 25 that actually is in the pure R&B genre
I don't like her rnb it's boring.
@@jetblackhair92 talented young lady....just don't connect or move me.
Yeah her lyrics just need to be more original and not as corny
Donny Hathaway is clapping from the Heavens, Absolutely Stunning..💯💯❤️🎶
I just watched the donny hath away documentary last night Unsung Documentary
Hmmmmmm no he is not. He is saying, "keep the piano, get a different singer". H.E.R. is a bad girl. Extremely talented writer, producer, and instrumentalist, with an ok voice. When you sing Donnie, SOUL MUST be involved
@@Keepdapocket I don't think Lalah gave the approval on this remake. You gotta touch the hem of her garment to even ATTEMPT......to sing it.
@@margaretbrown5836 exactly. As stated, H.E.R. is a bad girl, but her voice, in my opinion, is basic. And, this particular song showed her voice has no soul. Not saying that's a bad thing, but you have to be selective with what song you can project and which songs you can't.
@@Keepdapocket Good point. That's a good point. I'll give her an E for effort.
Leon Russell definitely is smiling listening to his masterpiece!! Brava H.E.R👏
H.E.R. is brilliant, as usual. But can we talk about how good SWV's harmonies still sound?!
okay I did not know she could play the keys too. This young Sista is BADDD!!!
Donny woulda been proud
mona williams she plays piano, guitar, bass, and drums
mona williams dang you late. She came out known for playing keys and singing. She definitely is the full package
Yes, admittedly I'm late with a lot of new music/artists. I'm a Young Old Head by heart LBSI rarely listen to new/young artists and don't listen to the radio or watch tv/cable.
mad respect to HER though!
kosmic kee, that's awesome! I did know she played guitar at least Lol.
she is truly an artist
Don't sleep on H.E.R. she was a child prodigy. Look her up on CZcams under Gabi Wilson. She is truly talented.
HER’s voice is beautiful. Shai and SWV still sound great, no lip syncing or auto tune. I miss the 90’s 😍
H.E.R. nailed it. 💪🏾 SWV still can sing and have coordination Coko said we have 8 more years left because she ain't gonna be New Jack swanging & dancing when she becomes 60 yall... I laughed 😅 so hard when she announced that on Facebook last year. 🤣 The Ballard of H.E.R performance was a treat .👌🏾 However the performance of Shai was if they never took a break from the industry. We are so unappreciated to let the tracks to genres rest where years later we forget about the tempo of the beat of certain music until replays all over again; & we are now able to come memorize these songs together as a whole culture of all cultures appropriately. ❗💜💯
Gives me a Stevie Wonder vibes with that outfit and looks and with that piano. She's really phenomenal. I love H.E.R. so so much💖
H.E.R song beautifully, Shia did their thing and SWV WON the crowd with their R&B 90's throwbacks. 👏 👏😉🗣 Flat out
H.E.R.'s voice is INSANE 🙌🏽❤
Such a beautiful song! My Mom passed away 7 years ago from cancer. I’m glad you sang this to your Mom I wish I did 😢 I always told her I loved her but it’s important how you say it and when in life. You are so powerful use it. And by the way my name is Agnes and my daughters name is Gabriela ! And that song was played on my Prom Night! OMG!
She kilt it!!!!! SWV!!!! still sounding good ladies!!!
Omggg right 🥺🔥❤️ had me smiling and boppin the whole time , breath of fresh air
"A Song for You" always leaves me in tears every single time I hear it.
I thought i was the only one🙌🏽
Such a beautiful song!
I want it played at my funeral FULL VOLUME ♡
It’s a song from Leon Russell, she brought back that old school
Soul
@@jerricocrittenden8311 the song, sung right.....😶
1. H.E.R. can play those keys as if Donny was whispering in her ear and on her fingertips.
2. Shai is out here still crooning and Garfield has a head full of healthy hair.
3. SWV still out here SANGING and Coko is thicker than a Snicker.
4. Luke James is the finest man in da BUILDING!!!
Luke james is just beautiful
Brandes, wasn't G in one of SWV's videos?
He was in 'Weak'
Brandes Finn Luke❤️yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas GAWD‼️
Perfect 👌🏾 😆can the church say amen😆
I don't know why I have just known this girl. What an amazing artist. Not singer but artist. What she puts out is pure art, original, different, she's so talented. I wish i had the resources, I would just go to all her shows
H.E.R killed it I cry everytime I sing with it, and SWV NEVER changed, I LIVE and LOVE them, I was in the 2nd grade running through the fields with my friends singing this song. I just want these WOMEN to know how much they made an impact us at a young age, I learned how to sing and be confident from women like SWV. I love you and thank you for doing it!
Her mom is so proud😭 I felt myself choking up tears too
Where did they dig up Shai from? I ain't seen these dudes since 96
#Rae Carr I said the same thing where the hell did they find them
🤣🤣🤣 I knooooow because they were at my 'Grad Nite' in '96. Haven't seen them since.
@@KandiKisses32 😵 that was so fortunate to happen to you. I'm happy that you were able to experience that
@@nagasamuraigoichi4860 Lol, thank you. Real music was such a huge part of growing up.
Rae Carr me either but I liked it
My son is laughing at me because I am a nerdy white girl and I know this music lmao .
i had never heard of this concert before, apparently on VH1, and wow, this is a powerhouse of fabulous music. Gabrielle is absolutely gorgeous and her voice is so sublime -- she truly embodies a talented soulful songwriter and Shai and SWV are fantastic! I wish I was there ! amazing.
Shai and SWV did the damn thang. Still sound good after all these years. H.E.R. did great as well.
SWV sound EVEN better!
This is what I'm talking bout✊🏾music is supposed to motivate you, you supposed to feel it in your soul.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
yep
Amen to that!
I be crying. Lol
Weddiny gown
😍
I can watch this 100 times in a row. PS: who cried? Asking for a friend.
This entire show was just amazing. Such feel good vibes. HER killed it, then Shai and SWV took me back! ❤
I love H.E.R. She's an artist. A multi-instrumentalist.
I saw HER’s mother and was surprised she’s Filipino! HER is a Blasian Filipino, loving the rep!
Rep?
Leah Mark Representation
Her mom doesn’t even look like her mom. She looks so young !!
@@maplelu9514 i know what it means but how is she repping?
HER is black.....you are who your father is according to the bible (Numbers 1:18). If her father was Filipino and her mother was black, she would be Filipino
Totally talented musician. Is thatMom crying? Yes! Subtle soul.Mom can sing every word of her group along with every other woman in the room.
TALENT in its truest form. What a beautiful gift she provides the world. This is an epic song. And she KILLER all of it. I love her talent. All of it. Old school soul and vibe that connects all. Whatever music you like you are in awe of her!! I gotta see her live. Dam!!
*Shai and SWV were the rulers of charts back in the day.*
Awwww so nice to see Monica Tiny and Ashanti amoung others in the audience gettin down to Sisters With Voices..... and look at my honey Garfield!
I love R&B lgbtQ community please subscribe for fun times with me Dontrel Dontrel
SO BEAUTIFUL!!!💞
yes and now Cokos divorced maybe Garfield should hollered at ha!
This is for me the best rendition of 'A Song for You'. Love it.
Beloved I bet you’ll love lalah’s cover too
H.E.R did amazing but listen to donny's daughter lalah...hers is amazing too
Hard to beat a man that has nothing to lose, Donny sung his heart out in this song and left his footprint and his heart craved in this song, no one can top his one...
This rendition is actually an excellent "carbon copy" of Donny's live performance, you should go check it out here in YT.
What?!!! Hathaway.... Hands down
To watch this woman sing from her SOUL AND play actual notes is the ultimate experience for me #flawlessness still listening 2021
"Right Here" by SWV is for me one of the best song of all time
Yanis Lemare real talk
Same
For sure for sure 👌🏾
AMEN
Dead set, it's been on high rotation in my head since the day it was released. To see SWV sing in modern times was so moving, haven't heard Shai in a while though. Brilliant!
Thanks to H.E.R. (to whom I have never heard of, showing my age)
Donny Hathaway ain’t no easy task to tackle.. HER did her thing Kudos
Raymond Gracie I agree. She did great
Facts!
It's Leon Russell's song. No one sings it with the feeling he did. The man wrote and it was HIS gift to the world.
@@DavidS-rb2rj Exactly. Donny's version is great, but it's not the real thing.
@@deeoh1 It's better than Leon's
in absolute awe of H.E.R's talent and voice... i cannot cope. its not possible for her to hit a bad note
Daaaaym swv and Shai sounding gooood
An actual artist in 2019?
Am I hallucinating?
NothingHeard lmaooooo
NothingHeard I Swear
Naw bruh its real
You too?
C'mon now, there are a whole bunch of real artists in 2019...
I love this Donny Hathaway song. ❤
R&B is alive. Thank God!
SWV - talk about a blast from the past! I used to listen to them when I was a child!
SWV still got it ! My girls was dancing harder then they ever did in the 90's
🤣
not to mention how well their voices have aged!! same impact, more depth
Yesss!! I love them ❤️❤️
@@asiaz248
SWV.. One Of My All Time Favorite Groups! Still Got It Going On!
H.E.R gives me straight 90's vibes❤❤❤
SWV literally gave me goosebumps on top of my goosebumps
Beautiful beautiful song ,so well sung ,I didn't think anyone could come close to Donnys version, but she's come close !!!!!😑🇬🇧
This is Leon Russels song…. Also, my song! ❤
You never heard Ray Charles sing it?
Avery Wilson killed this song...a must listen!
I totally agree with you!! This is beautiful
This is Beautiful But if we give it a scale to Donnie's It doesn't compare . No disrespect to this Queen Daughter but its a 3 out of 10 Avery Brooks 4 out of 10 Ray Charles 7 out of 10. My Opinion
H.E.R is Amazing.....& Ofcourse the Legends SWV can do no wrong.... They been singing & performing for over 20 years 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾They sound good....Love Coko Voice!!❤❤❤
H.E.R. Is my Lauryn Hill and Ari Lennox is my Erykah Badu.. 😍💕
Yessss i agree
It’s true
Jocelin lavin she’s a perfect mix of Lauren Hill and Alicia Keys ❤️
I'm gonna go see who Lennox is
You went too far
HERs mom was just crying. Her Mom is so pretty too. Her dad being a musician as she said to James Corden explains a lot. She mentioned being Filipino on there.
That chord progression at 8:55 is everything ❤️
just the fact that she was able to evoke those emotions from the audience. BREATHTAKING.
H.E.R did a beautiful job!
Could you imagine doing something so beautiful for your momma?
Go to the Philippines and you'll see little girls singing like this everywhere, they got the R&B sound down to a T.
H.E.R is that girl whose voice you can’t forget, got everybody in the crowd crying and ish...and I love her with the ponytail
The saddest feeling in the world is listening to this song and crying your eyeballs out because you dearly and infinitely miss your mom..while she's sitting right across the room from you. (Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers)
Yes.🙏
awwwww that hit deep for me
I totally agree
@@ksings664 ssssssaammmeee
Oh my, my, my.... SHAI!!! WHAT?!?!!??? Yes, please, and thank you!!!❤
Love H.E.R. as her range in her voice is brilliant! Love this genre of music indeed. She sang it!
