    I will say, its a huge testament to her ability to be able to deliver such a powerful performance while reading the worlds. Just my opinion

    At 7:58 she sings an F#4 in clear, controlled tone. I don't know what you kids want. She has a natural raspy voice-most of us (you) have tried to sound/sing like her for the past two decades, don't unleash all your hate now that you or others may have perfected which she initiated. I prefer more melody, pero, this performance doesn't warrant the hatefulness I've read. You should pray you sound as well as she does at her age and rate of singing.... from alto to soprano, I love her technique.

    This ministered to me in a way beyond what words can describe... The words alone touches me deep in my soul. AMAAAAAAAAAAZING KIM!!!! It clear that she read the words, however it is evident that what she was saying followed from a sincere place. Anointed and done in a way that only Ms. Kim can do. Love love loved this!!!! Tears...

  • @thunderb7030
    @thunderb7030 Před 7 lety +1

    I see a lot of y'all cussing, saying she was reading the words and so forth. the composer(Yolanda Adams) of the song enjoyed the performance, so all of yall comments are irrelevant. Stop criticizing and appreciate, spectactors are always to judge if any of you are able to outshine her performance, then get on bet, essence festival, Sunday's best, bmi awards and perform. Until then, keep y'all filthy negative remarks to yourselves.

  • @cheritawilson2867
    @cheritawilson2867 Před 7 lety +2

    i love Kim Burrell, and she sounded great. I would suggest that for a tribute, preparation is also a form of honor, and for a song so powerful, it was distracting to know the song, but hear her struggling *nicely* around the verses. Yes, she put her own spin on it, but it was obvious she was holding on to reading those words for dear life.

    knowing kim personally for many years now, i have seen her look a mess at times lol but to be completely honest i was very satisfied with choices.
    her makeup was on point and beautiful, her outfit was beautiful and complimented her body very well, i loved it!!!!! and the hair was actually done lol, and yes reading the words was foolish but understandable, we will all have a moment when we want that extra support to be sure, idc how good you are , and she sounded great!

    Yes, yes! Yolanda Adams has widely done alot, all because of God opening her doors, and her saying, "Yes, I'll do it." My Uncle that passed away used to back up sing for her in Houston (in the 80's) and her days of singing in "The SE Inspirational Choir."

    Kim has a habit of reading words during tribute performances. She did the ssame thing during a performance of "I Just Can't Give Up Now" during a Mary Mary tribute...not sure if that's a good or bad thing. However, I do not think it's unprofessional. I'm not her biggest fan for a number of reasons. Still, I can't deny her talent or anointing. At the end of the day, I can't imagine Yolanda (or any other major recording artist) reading the words toa song during ANY performance, especially a tribute.
