[@letronthedivo]

LOL you know faith is SAAANGINGG when she tilt that mouth to the side!! hahaha!! love it!! Come On Faith!!!! Loveee it!!!

[@msberthakitt]

Lmfao

[@sweetazzpiew8490]

That's right!!

[@jramsey3360]

Facts tho

[@danteofficial7762]

Yup lol

[@DookaDandy]

I’m ctfu not tilt 😩🤣

[@jclef614]

R&B's version of Karen Clark-Sheard!

[@alexjackson9927]

I can’t believe it...Faith’s voice is so agile, velvety smooth and so powerful at the same time...not to mention the colourful run at 1:29 in the second verse...a touch of unbelievable taste. I hope one day someone will post this video with a better audio quality...just amazing...if Chaka stands up, that means something ❤️

[@coreyatkins5274]

When Faith is ON, she's really very very good.

[@ladyluck7481]

I love how she put that Faith stamp on it. She reached Chaka's heights on this one and me made me cry. !!! Best rendition I've heard on this song. Chaka is my number one.

[@jamesb.7151]

Lady Luck Honestly, she had to alter the song, because she lacked some pickup power in the notes delivery.

[@labrae]

@@jamesb.7151 Good to know James.. but I love that she gave Faith's version, and not an attempt to mimic Chaka.

[@jackofalltrades0530]

for those of you who thought she messed up, Chaka Khan did not think so!!! she got up out of her seat for Faith!!!!!!!!!!!! way to go Faith

[@cre8tinme]

....if Faith could've had about 2 more minutes, she would have REALLY shut this DOWN!! #faithisdopE! #chakabeendopE!

[@labrae]

Faith is fantastic, she sounds so smooth and robust. I knew she was in Chaka's category when her hit "Love Like This" hit the airwaves. Still love that song, it reminds me of something in Chaka's 80s repetoire.

[@SoSoBradley23]

Faith got that anointing on that voice! goodness, and I've always said her and Karen favored in the vocals.. good stuff

[@rudaje2000]

I love Faith's performance here. It's like she let go, and came out of her comfort zone. That's hard to do.

[@abbakaastralboobaby]

Faith did an outstanding job on this song! In my opinion, I think that she could actually do her own cover on it and that's saying a lot because not anyone can redo a Chaka song and do it justice!

[@roc2028]

I think Chaka was pleased 😊

[@koolaid1982]

YES 🙌🏾

[@TyjaluvsChaka]

Lol Chaka at the time of WYGDFM had the most agile flexible powerful voice in the industry bar none ,so anyone trying to replicate her at that moment in time good luck!!! Her range then was incalculable,her vocal stamina incredible and just like they use to call her "the singer with 7 lungs" she lived up to every lung!!! This is a once in a lifetime singer and we all should be grateful we were alive to bear witness to such a God given anointing to another human!!!

[@Aishah215]

Its not that Faith forgot the words, every time she sings in front of Chaka Khan (One of her Idols) she tends to get nervous every time.. Nevertheless her vocals were on point !!!

[@faafafineartist]

YOU CANNOT deny faiths ability to hit those fucking notes. sheesh.

[@TheGamersGuide819]

Her voice is so unique

[@marcusharris5493]

@ 2:45 she was SANGIN her face off!!!

[@iansnyder274]

She sang beautifully...great job!

[@lionelkennedy1394]

Faith has a great voice. She did it justice!!

[@blackpetebruklen]

she killed this song!! point blank!!

[@Hunni]

I notice Faith's voice has changed. She still sound and sings good though but I can tell her voice has matured.

[@DeJhaunBercy]

That was the most resonant Bb5 I've heard (the one right before the vamp)

[@LipoMaae94]

yass 👌👌

[@faafafineartist]

crisp and POWER!

[@tallbald4376]

Chaka is very particular about who covers her songs. She gave faith her stamp of approval. These are not easy songs to sing.

[@levarcollins5424]

Faith Killt that!! this is one of her best live performances!!

[@prmike22]

Wow no one is perfect! Y'all are going on about her coming into early? 🙈 I can't really!! But half of y'all edges and wigs were snatched by the end of the song

[@ammitchell1279]

I screamed😂😂😂😂

[@gazellerose2584]

lol

[@lanaaka.ladymatrixhannam235]

🤣🤣🤣

[@diijaithesinger]

She recovered VERY well! It takes SKILL to do so!

[@keashle]

Go Faithful Faith Evans ... I looooooooove this interpretation.

[@treesmoka81]

I Always Keep the Faith! 😍😍😍 How did I miss this performance! The Respect that is needed to be put on this Woman's name is way past due. This was a fitting Tribute. Executed perfectly.

[@TLPOMNIMEDIA]

faith just keeps surprising me with these vocals. Lady's got mad skillz. ^_^

[@redzoom7857]

Faith went in!

[@tracitaylor2510]

That is an amazing replication! I'm next! WHAATCHA GONNA DO FA ME!

[@Speaklife]

@ilindah Ok, well she messed up then too, cause she came in too soon. She was supposed to wait before she came in with, "In the cool of the night when nothing seems right." She keep forgetting that part. lol. She did play it off cute. Anyway, I do agree that Faith's tribute was one of the better ones. Thanks for viewing and commenting

[@naimahthomas1035]

Yes my fellow New Jersey girl Mrs. Faith Evans God Gifted Talented 🙏❤👑🎼🎤 and she didn't over do it as Always she gives just the right Vocals, Soul Stirring performance imo 😌💯✊. Sang Faith 😉.

[@bk327]

Go on Faith! Always thought she reminded me of Chaka in songs like Love Like This, and All Night Long!

[@shondellbutler5055]

Faith did that! Love her🌺

[@smirror6964]

Another testimony of don’t fucking play with my muva 😩🤜🏾❤️

[@polyprinz]

Ms. Faith Evans, love her!!!

[@earlrodgers1557]

CHAKA CHAKA CHAKA KHAN UNTOUCHABLE LOL Faith still got down though ok💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝

[@byronadams5130]

Damn Faith beasted on this!! Good lord!! The bridge onward just gives me good feels, hahq

[@Aishah215]

Faye did mess up a lil but it wasn't nothing major, her performance was still the shit !!! That damn crowd should've got up and rocked with her, seriously !!

[@songbirdlallen]

Faith did her thing! The band was good but they were dragging the song and probably threw her off.

[@Thee_Mranderson]

Letitia Allen I thought I was the only one who thought the band was dragging 😩😩

[@SheTwice]

GO FAITH GIRL, SANG!!!!

[@naimahthomas1035]

Yes indeed agreed 😊💯👍🏻 Mrs. Faith Evans is God Gifted Talented just like Ms. Chaka Khan🙏❤🍫👑🎼🎤😌✊.

[@frasei]

Sang Fizzy from da bricks 😩❤❤❤

[@lyricalkismet]

This is amazing! I've been watching Chaka tributes all morning, just knowing there had to be one by Faith somewhere. I mean, she's one of literally three people I can think of that I don't mind hearing sing Chaka (the other two are Erykah and Ledisi).

[@JLPerryTV]

You should have heard Lisa Fischer when she went in on singing “Ain’t Nobody”

[@RAYGUNKNEESHURT]

I love this song and faith brought it!!

[@Ajtori93]

Been a fan of Faith since 1998.Never knew a love like this is my fav...

[@luvtinaturnerlots]

really enjoyed this cheers Chaka deserved this and more

[@LA-yf3wj]

Exact same thing happen at "Motown Live (TV Series)" 1998-99 with Faith and Chaka. I still have that video in my treasure's chest....

[@jamesb.7151]

2:25 She done went and blew the scarf off my head. 😎 Though, she lacked some pickup power in the high notes delivery, she still was nearly flawless.

[@1037pm]

I could tell the way she was squeaking those notes out that she hasn’t had to sing that high in a minute BUT she killed it!!

[@kdakaribaker8652]

Sang Faith!!!

[@jorgessssito]

First Patti and now Chaka...Faith Nailed it...she did came in to soon on the second verse but she sure made up for it at the ending...go Faith

[@marvinjosephhenderson9553]

You rocked this Faith

[@mandm471]

SING RENEE!!!!

[@claytonallen5428]

Beyond beautiful xoxo ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@rockymartin3480]

That`s my Girl!!!!!!!!! annointed!!!!!!!!!

[@kharikhy-ree2242]

Come on Faith‼️❤ Sanging ‼️❤

[@faafafineartist]

@Speaklife i initially thought the same thing at 1:04, but its actually how she sang it on a different occasion ;)

[@rudaje2000]

@Speaklife right! I caught that too. Thought I was haering things, but she played it off perfectly. I do agree that this was a very smooth performance. It was like silk.. Great Job Faith!

[@Tezzy404]

thx for posting a better version. Faith s my fave and i cant get enough of this tribute. She nailed even tho she thought she was singing the version she performs in her shows on occasion lol

[@IvanPradofodera]

maravilhoso que honra!

[@michaelashantimusic]

Um... Faith outchere singing for the stars and moons and planets ❤️❤️❤️

[@faafafineartist]

she was incredible!!

[@Readywhenur86]

Faith straight got off on this song...Love Her

[@me6jusme]

SAAANNG FAITH!!!!😍

[@johnnycash9965]

Faith snapped

[@CuirPhotodotNet]

....exquisite....

[@earlrodgers8124]

She made me and Chaka Khan smile

[@Speaklife]

@comeon6 Yes, she sure did do the same thing, lol,...she keeps forgetting to pause for those counts. Those who know & love this song, recognized the mistake. But still, Faith was one of the best of the night, IMO. Plus this is one of my favorite Chaka songs.

[@nameless0073]

I love both these divas!! I really wish they would've just speed it up just a tad bit

[@CliftonEarlHill]

Yepp, she did a good job and looks great.

[@indakut]

She Still sound Amazing LOve Her voice one of the Best R&B Voices Ever!

[@hotrodindalou]

Faith Evan killed this shit! she made Chaka get up out of her seat! That said it all. Chaka's music is full of "flaws" thats what makes Chaka Chaka, and faith's "mistakes" are what makes this band jam work, the fact that she plays her voice like a horn, the way Chaka did on this track, leavng notes where they may and saying, "that's the way I played my horn Bitch!"

[@narvelljones2498]

So good faith Chaka was pleased I was pleased I know you were you god that Chaka stamp and most of all you got that god stamped

[@kobi0101]

Wow, Faith killed it. It takes some big drawers to even attempt a Chaka song. She did that.

[@sr9266966]

Beeeeeast!!! Faith Can Do More Than Dis. She Murked This Tho. Best Of The Nite

[@jacobgeiger7965]

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤️❤️

[@zingalom]

I was that way when I first heard that track. But I learned Karen's voice through listening to the Clark Sisters and Karen's other solo stuff. Karen has a little higher range than Faith. Karen's vibrato's faster than Faith's, and Karen does more runs and acrobatics with her voice. Karen also doesn't hold her notes as long as Faith. In that particular song, Karen does more gospel/jazz fast type runs. Faith does more R&Bish/jazz slow runs. That's how I tell them apart now

[@brittneybutler2491]

Right!!🙌🙌

[@nv894]

OH I LOVE THIS!!1111111111111111

[@koolaid1982]

COME ON FIZZY 😎✊🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ruslitomey]

m currently embracing this FAITH haha..great! :)

[@jclef614]

@Junchee81~I still got Karen's CD with them singing on that track...lol I was still living in Michigan back then! To this day I canNOT tell them apart on the track...they are very similar. I love them both!

[@masculine31]

I glad Faith pulled this off, I didn't think anyone was able to do her or Whitney. Now we just gotta find someone who can pull off Whitney LOL

[@iansnyder274]

Kenya Hathaway is one of the backup singers!!!

[@davidterrell6330]

My girl shut that shit down!!

[@comeon6]

@jiggac4 LOL...It's so funny, because she did the EXACT same thing when her and Chaka sang it on Motown Live, and Chaka had to sing over her to let her know it wasn't time to sing the second verse...LOL! I think it was

[@OfficialMickeyJSabb]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@uncledou]

Everybody says that Faith looks like Karen Clark Sheard and I never really saw it. But MAN but she really looks like her in this clip!

[@hidehitosatoh]

chaka khanも大好き faith evansも大好き what's cha gonna do for meも大好き 泣きましたよ

[@RasheemC]

Faith gave me goosebumps at 2:26

[@rudaje2000]

she's pulled it off though! lol

[@QuentH17]

She’s a good soprano.

[@Speaklife]

Dang, I just realized Faith messed up too! It is hard to pull a Chaka song off..

[@faafafineartist]

@Speaklife lol it was a little mistake but focusing on the positive, she blew me away with her high register :) you could really feel her admiration for chaka.

[@CliftonEarlHill]

@Speaklife LOL...that was a cute mess-up. She brought it in real quick.

[@sickvokals]

@turkeyroast100 Sad she's not playing the part anymore )o:

[@kobi0101]

@uncledou And also self-admittedly, Karen is one of her greatest influences.

[@julithomp5612]

She did chaka justice

[@civan1234]

@hidehitosatoh omg yes!!

[@ebenet01]

MAN, they shouldve let Faith go one more chorus.....She was just opening up!! #SAAAANGFAITH

[@whoisit203]

Alright Faith!
