[@rasheemajones9775]

I remember I used to rewind this part 10x on VHS LOL. This is when Tyler used powerhouse singers in his plays.

[@wallacegladys9]

HE SANG THAT PART GOOD TOO. HE WAS AWESOME

[@AlliterativeAtheist]

That Jackie, Jackie , Jackie , Jackayyyyyyyyy was so good.

[@TahariBlue]

I went to the bathroom, made a sandwich, and a phone call, and Datra was still holding that damn NOTE!!!! How in the hell did she do it, and as she was holding it using up all that breath, and her voice didnt get weaker it got even stronger and the end!!....WTF! She is amazing! and so was he, Im so tired of these non singing ass people with record deals, when exceptional talent like these two are over looked.......smh

[@TahariBlue]

Also if anyone has a link to them actually performing this song, please post.....thanks!

@@sonderson6363 Sonderson you are an angel, thank you so much for sharing that information

[@LuvvKaylaa]

D'Atra and Terrell voices fit this song beautifully.. I was raised by my grandmother and I thank god that I was introduced to tyler perry 2000's plays. D'Atra will forever be my favorite!!

[@drednotty]

Hey, me too... that sista sangs, she don't just vibes with the song. D'Atra makes the song hers, not like a lot of these new artists and sounding alike.

[@originaljamz.1626]

[@amirekenny5358]

Yess, I'm currently 19 and I've been watching tyler perry plays since I was a child & what I can say these plays have taught me a lot. As I get older the songs and lessons in the plays hit more and more.

[@dwgm1022]

Of course, D'Atra is killing it. She always shows up. But I feel as though Terrell doesn't get nearly enough praise for this stellar performance. He really slid on this. The way he's perfectly compliments her voice on the note hold with his adlibs.. its really amazing. There's a particular kind of dance between two people doing a duet, and they danced it perfectly.

[@madameblackimusprime]

1. This is a great song. 2. They got lungsss. 3. It STILL cracks me up when she goes off and him with the JACK-KAAAY!!!

[@drednotty]

Heck yeah...

There should be some award for a performance like this. Not event a Tony would cut it! D'Atra is not human. I have watched this clip a zillion times and still never tire of her long ass note holdin'! And the power of her tone. Jesus! What in the hell does she do to prepare for a performance like this each night without blowing out her pipes? Folks, this is NO EASY FEAT on a singer's voice. I wonder how many performances a week she did? God bless her.

[@calisouthqueen]

I had to sit there and count the second she held that song too! Imagine hearing this for the first time! The way my jaw dropped to g floor! She was my favorite from that point going forward!

Nah.... Kevin did his thing... she just has a bigger voice. if u really listen.... Kevin was more polished and controlled his instrument more, D'atra was a bit pitchy on some parts but she definitely made up for it with her raw ability. She just has a really unique voice that sets her apart from others. She just naturally has the "wow" factor.
