[@davidajuchan1260]

Thank u for being u and doing u I'm a huge fan

[@snook07]

Boy I’m not about to play with you

[@cacobapt]

I'm gagged. My wig found missing. I'm out of my mind this was a fucking great performance

[@enigmaticladypisces3169]

I’m one you’re biggest fans!!! I just discovered your music 1/1/23 💕💕💕💕💕💯💯💯💯💯🙌🏾

[@coreywright7445]

This is where Erykah meets Prince and they become one within Durand Bernarr

[@taquanwilliams5206]

I was thinking those two, but I sprinkled MJ in there as well do to his moves and creativity!

[@827rc]

This is where a new thing comes about and we search for others to explain what they are instead of letting them create their lane.

[@marlinrossii5038]

@@827rc wow thats so true

[@davfb8622]

@@827rc clearly his own lane. I don’t hear any other

[@JoyLoveOfficial]

Exactly!!!!! Prince with musical arrangement and Badu with looks and performance.

[@baddiebee1400]

His vocal range is ridiculous. I love it !

[@photogenic305]

SICK!!

[@terrelljones2512]

Like Rahsaan Patterson

[@tefflondonthomas3547]

I'm literally here with my entire mouth open for 12 minutes and 46 seconds. BOYYYYY you better give me life, breathe and a heartbeat.....just Talent!

[@tefflondonthomas3547]

There was an extra 20 seconds because of the unbelief of it all smh🥰😍🤩

[@evesousa8124]

I thought I was the only one ... mind blown

[@caramelkisses8857]

Yes!!!

[@michaelsingslive]

the next generation's prince..... complete talent.

[@JustJRR]

Durand is such a great performer. Creative, playful, fun and theatrical. 💘

[@TheOnlyMsMissee]

But can we talk about how he’s on skates doing all of this with as much effort it takes me to walk in flip flops?!?! He’s such an effortless vibe!

[@penjaninyirenda3942]

This performance is criminally underrated

[@dollarbill10485]

We should be paying to watch this. I didn’t know I’d get a whole ass concert with costume changes, vocals, full body movements, crowd acknowledgement, and bare chest. I’m unworthy

[@sowanderlost]

And rollerskates !

[@solidstatevintage7247]

His range is impossible, and all over the place, yet so incredibly appropriate, on time, and completely rare and oh so beautiful

[@cymon148]

It’s the skates for me 😍😍

[@nunya1185]

I love him cause his talent is indisputable and he’s so silly too. Go head Durand!

[@JrayBerry]

How am I still in awe of this man after knowing his greatness for 12 years?? 😭💛💛💛💛

[@datkedz4167]

Durand is such an experience man, he never disappoints at all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@photogenic305]

He has never disappointed me! Even just watching him back in the days where he started on KZbin. I’m glad I saw him live. I’m a big fan of his.

[@ladysnowblood9320]

Could you imagine him and Chloe doing a mash up together? The vocal levels and range that they both posses is amazing

[@GreeneChakra]

Today's “PRINCE”!!!

[@ikemusic6810]

There’s so much to study about Durand as a performer and artist, so dope👏🏾🔥🔥

[@photogenic305]

Beyond DOPE!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@danignacio6705]

He is the best R&B vocalist of the new generation.

[@shylaberry7601]

His mother is a vocal coach/music teacher as well.

[@cutielocks08]

I'm 51 and he wants me to go back into voice lessons.

[@Azar-hj7js]

His voice reminds me of Rashaan Patterson as well. Very talented!

[@davfb8622]

Oh dang there really are similar minds out there

[@awbside4485]

Absolutely!!!

[@Seei8none]

I love his art, his showmanship, his talent, his voice, his humor, his growth, and his grind! All that hard work is paying off and I love to see it! That last outfit was most appropriate, 🧐 out here shining bright like the sun ☀️😂 That outfit was gorgeous! 😍

[@stevenfields6165]

All the songs from the album that I can’t get enough of!! Love this!!

[@photogenic305]

Yessss I KILLED that album. One of my favorites!

[@recebaby88]

His range is sick!!!! I just love his voice

[@BeingBlissed__]

Stage performance is phenomenal like I was actually there with him 🙌🏽😭❤️

[@CD-yp5tz]

A performer dam it!!!! Vocals, harmonies, the band sounds amazing and he’s on skates in the beginning!!! Love me some Durand!!!

[@Blackdiamond929_]

You borrowed Auntie Erykah’s hat 😅🤣

[@dootdooot9161]

I'm so glad Terrell introduced me to him

[@TheeKaylaMarieOne]

Aunty two stepping every time he touches a mic ✨

[@barrymoton1]

This was EPIC!!!!! OMG. Thank you for reminding me to live my life fearlessly and truthfully!

[@dreamajones5160]

I'm gon need his music in radio rotation nobody doing it like him!!

[@dsww7485]

[@cragman2569]

[@sazimims6512]

Durand’s time is now ❗️❗️❗️ 🥰 Not to compare him BUT I can’t help but to think about the Late great Prince when I hear & see him 🥺

[@soultraneproductionz9180]

This dude is funny but his talent is immeasurable

I’m so happy I saw him live and have a picture with him. He was performing at a poetry lounge and he was approaching me because I was mad hype and I just hugged him I was so excited. 💛

[@luckylavar9051]

Me too

[@dee9252]

Let me say something!!! When he came back with no shirt, I lost it! I almost forgot his preference lol. This man's talent and range is so impressive.

[@aligreen1462]

Been quite a wild since we heard someone that actually sing. His NPR was legendary. Band, backup singers, performance top flight.

[@Bigboiminaj]

I literally live for him, the way he uses is instrument is insane love every song too. Especially live!!!!!

[@mimirenell6850]

the way he sways is so mezmorizing
