Face and body work.. remember when she got fat...I feel for you and Vesta Williams hit all of those high notes

[@beverleyreid563]

Yes she does!

[@bkhan9090]

@@Mimi-cg2cw Chaka did not have work done on her body. She developed diabetes and went vegan to lose weight. Vesta did not hit one high note for Chaka. That lie has been told to discredit her vocal ability. On the Arsenio Hal show, Vesta stated that she would sing for Chaka when she was late for rehearsal, not in concert. Tasha K just did a spot on her show about Chaka's looks. She stated that Chaka only had her teeth done. Please stop the lies

She’s singing 100% unlike so many televised performances that are now so heavily dubbed and based on pre recorded tracks and Chaka is 71

[@mcmac9565]

Make no mistake. This is Chaka’s song first n foremost and it is done in the original arrangement here. Im so happy for Chaka. She performed well here.

[@itscocolicous]

71 years old and more breath than 28 years old me, she is an Icon !!!

[@bigd7386]

It’s amazing that she still has that powerful soprano and can still float around in the heavens… but she ALSO still has her low and mid register. Sometimes soprano’s can still sing high but they lose that bottom end. Chaka said I STILL got it all! lol 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@mayasmith650]

Yessss Chaka 👏🏾👏🏾🔥 That’s what you call REAL VOCALS.. no auto tune and she’s in her 70s.. these new so called singers could NEVER.. EVER
