GREATEST LIVE PERFORMANCE EVER!!!! YEBBA - My Mind | Sofar NYC (Reaction!!!)

[@KRayTV1]

I Still have no words!!!! How do ya'll feel about this S Tier Performance? #DreamSquad

[@Quiche1]

I ❤️your reactions 😂😂😂

[@torikellyreeves]

Your voice is nuts . You need to hear evergreen the live performance. Theres another live video if her singing evergreen (live at mercury).

[@meilaw2877]

She sure hits you in the feels...your soul for sure

[@seans8605]

Exactly how I felt bro

[@iamlpinthe312]

I’ve been watching these reactions for 3 years, at least once a week and I am still brought to tears. Yebba is from West Memphis Arkansas and was raised in the church ( where her father was a preacher. And yes, Yebba is in a class of her own.

[@seeingheaven2]

Just wanted to add this for you, Ed Sheeran said he was there for this performance, overwhelmed, and cried. He approached Abbey and he signed her. ❤️

[@KRayTV1]

Wow!!! Just...wow! Did not know that but I understand 100%

[@bobkiarie9895]

He had actually signed her before this performance. She sung to him at the studio after her mum's death. He cried a mess. I know coz I was there 😀

[@jillzdaley]

@@bobkiarie9895 her mom died AFTER this performance…..

[@anahatahandmadeproducts4319]

Niiiiiiiice. Was it also mention that her mom had just committed suicide around this time.

[@JessieDubois8]

@@jillzdaley Really? From my understanding, this was 2 weeks afterward.

[@nicolevonmutius3147]

The controlled wailing from the depth of her soul is what gets me every time.

[@danslovellc2781]

Every time !!! Wheew

[@kay-collins]

I LOVEEEEE seeing people discover this!!!😩😩

[@KRayTV1]

I see why....this woman is amazing

[@classicalgas8297]

I heard this song by accident, right after I found out my husband of 35 years and five kids cheated on me...I sobbed for hours! She sang my heart!😢

[@KRayTV1]

I'm sorry to hear that! No one deserves to be cheating on period let alone after putting so much time in and creating life together. I hope you have healed from that experience and moved on so you can enjoy life again and your kids can see you happy

[@courtneyhenley681]

RIGHT! This is for everyone that has ever been cheated on or left for someone else. I always seemed to be the one before the guy married or coupled with someone else but the they never get over me. So I really felt that one line "No way, no way, she can't take you away from me. I sure won't stay, but I'll be damned if I ever leave".

[@Peace-Love-Light]

From the outside looking in, its like " why didnt you just leave? Must not have been that bad." but then when this shit happens to you, and the conditions are right, its like, some one knocked the breath out of you and then, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!..... Just shoot me now please. Ya know? God that pain!! worse pain Ive ever experienced. Anyway, hope your heart & mind is in a better place girl.

[@hiatusmode989]

Yebba will snatch your wig if you’re not ready. 😂❤

[@KRayTV1]

Gave me a clean shave lol

[@moonbubbles3046]

I love how you say you fell in love and went through the heartbreak just in the first minute or so. She genuinely takes you there. And if you’ve ever been on either side of this relationship situation, you can’t help but feel either the deep anger and loss, or the deep guilt and loss of what was destroyed. She’s truly extraordinary.

[@FirstNameLastName-sc2lm]

The best singers are the ones who can make you feel their emotion. She is amazing

[@KRayTV1]

And I felt every last bit of that, hell before she even opened her mouth to sang....I felt it

[@calipidgious]

Yebba is a force of nature. I'm sure people will suggest her great stuff but Tiny Desk, Age of Worry, Gravity, October Sky, Boomerang (live), Evergreen, etc are all fantastic. She's worked with a ton of people , Ed Sheeran, Drake, Lucky Daye, Marc Ronson, PJ Morton, etc. Why she isn't internationally famous I have no idea.

[@KRayTV1]

Thank you! I'm doing more of her this week in my recordings so I needed some suggestions

[@unmemorablehero]

Telling your goosebumps to calm down right away, and I’m like “man you do not know what’s coming your way” 😂

[@KRayTV1]

Haha 😂 sometimes you know even when you ain't heard a sound

[@diananunez7]

I love that you mention Jazmine, because I honestly believe that Jazmine and Yebba are on the same level when it comes to vocal perfection, expression, agility, passion.....I could go on! Great reaction! Thanks!

[@KRayTV1]

@Diana thank you! I believe those 2 need to find there way to each other and create some magic....idk if the world is ready for it, but it needs to be done for sure

[@csutton161]

I think like most people who heard this the first time, it was jaw dropping good, with goosebumps and tears. I would have given anything to have been in that audience.! Great reaction

[@lyssa71421]

Tiny desk, Boomerang & Ever green performances top tier

[@KRayTV1]

@Civillaw gotcha already added them to the list for the next reactions from Yebba

[@noorieiversen]

Her live performances of One more Smile, Paranoia Purple and Louis Bag at the Electric lady are all absolutely 💯 % beautiful... she is very special.

[@KRayTV1]

@Noorie I'm taking notes on everything you listed so I can add to the list because she is def getting reacted to again

[@kracine9582]

Yebba is fantastic. She does a duet with Lucky Daye that is great. Check out the live version. Love your reaction!

[@KRayTV1]

@Racine gotcha will def do this. Gonna make a list for the next batch I will be recording after I finish the last few songs from the first batch

[@lizwenzel5025]

I’ve watched MANY MANY Yebba reactions 🤣 but yours…I LOVED 🥰 IT!!! 1 of the best!!

[@KRayTV1]

@liz thank you!! 😊 I am still in awe of this performance! I'm going to record some more reactions of Yebba this week. It's time

[@DemonessofRedSnow]

I absolutely love this reaction. I’ve seen people get the stank face with Yebba but you had the “I have been personally victimized by this woman’s voice” face and it was perfect.

[@mirtieraczo5842]

This is the reaction I have been waiting for! I was speechless when I'first heard her sing this song. I struggled to forrm words. I had to sit there and process what I had just watched and I became obsessed with her voice. This is my favorite reaction. It's the one her performance deserves. Have you listened to any Chris Stapleton yet? If not, after you go down the Yebba rabbit hole, I highly recommend you check him out. I have a whole list for him.

[@KRayTV1]

@Mirtie I agree with everything said about Yebba!!! My goodness. I'm going to record another song or two of hers this week I can't wait. And no I have not listened to Chris so if you have a list let me know

[@mirtieraczo5842]

@@KRayTV1 here's your Chris Stapleton list: Tennessee Whiskey Cry (Bing Lounge) Cold I Was Wrong (Austin City Limits) Death Row What Are You Listening To You Should Probably Leave Either Way Fire Away (video) This Is A Man's World There's two performances with Justin Timberlake you have to see. The first one is: Say Something (video) and the other is from the 2015 CMA'S: Tennessee Whiskey & I Can't Drink You Away. Pay attention to the video for Say Something, it's pretty cool. And the performances for Tennessee Whiskey & I Can't Drink You Away is the male equivalent of Yebba's performance of My Mind. It is one of THE BEST live performances I've ever seen. A couple of things you should know: I'm a 59 year old black woman who loves r&b but I can listen to Chris all day. Chris is considered a country singer but he's not. If anything, he's a blues singer with some country and r&b tendencies. His voice is amazing on his records but it's even better live. The woman you see on stage singing back up is his wife.

[@KRayTV1]

@@mirtieraczo5842 got it thanks!!!!

[@TheInkdN3rd]

I second aaaalllll of this!!! I would just like to add one more voice that is on the same "must watch" level to give you goosies, and that is miss Shoshana Bean. Her rendition of Make It Rain had me throwing every shoe I had at my screen, lol. Another good one is All to Me, done as a duet with equally talented Scott Hoying, of Pentatonix.........a group which has a whole 300 video rabbit hole that will send you into a mental hospital, in the best way lol!

[@fiddlestix3025]

Goosebumps….and tears…that’s all I have when listening to this song of Yebba. Especially when thinking of her background story a bit… There’s so much raw grief and emotion in her voice and soul -but still also so much tenderness and beauty -it’s incredible ✨ Loved your reaction man 🙏

[@KRayTV1]

I say yes to all of this and thank you 😊

[@niki4you]

You havvvvve to do her tiny desk!! It’s beautiful

[@KRayTV1]

@Niki gotcha def will be the first one I do when I do another one of hers

[@cort_26]

Definitely still gives me chills a few years on. Never seen a performance like it. She is indescribable.

[@KRayTV1]

I agree 💯

[@bballfansross6466]

She’s amazing I’ve loved her for years!!! October sky!! Boomerang. She’s done duets with mega stars a bunch. Support yebba!!!

[@Peace-Love-Light]

Im on a "yebba my mind reaction" bend right now and I must say that your reaction has been the best so far that i have come across. I just love your empathy, it comes across the screen. Its a rare trait I seen in men these days, Please dont change.

[@KRayTV1]

Greatest comment read this am. Thank you 😊

[@kevinlee8785]

It’s almost impossible not to feel every emotion during this performance. She sung her soul out. I heard it before and no lie I thought it was a black woman at first. When I saw the actual performance and the emotions….speechless!!!!! Huge fan!!!!!!

[@JesseMoto]

shes incredible

[@Pablo_sanz359]

About a week after this performance, her mother committed suicide. Her first single Evergreen is a song about her mother, and there is a live version of it available on you tube where she performs it in the church she and her mother used to attend. It's a must see. This girl is special.

[@KRayTV1]

@Pablo oh wow....dang...didn't know that. I'm going to check out Evergreen for sure and will react to it once I finish my other vids

[@samarahraffat9922]

Okay, I've listened to many reactions to this song, but yours is DEFINITELY my favorite. Your vibe throughout matches mine. High five!

[@KRayTV1]

I definitely appreciate it 🙏🏾 thank you

[@lindas5200]

It's so nice to have someone like her sing... Yea there is music out there today that is fun to sing and listen to, but what most artist fail to do is to make the person listening to the song actually feel something deep in their souls.

[@KRayTV1]

I 100% agree! That is something the new generation of singers lack nowadays so it is amazing when you find someone who delivers that emotion

[@tiffanyspencer2782]

Yep...just STUCK! I agree. This is the best performance I've ever seen or heard of. Amazing. I was like wtf is this $hit??

[@KRayTV1]

@Tiffany yea this performance gave me full body goosies man...it was something else

[@yahweheloim]

Loved your reactions. When you said “ she got more?” I laughed so hard

[@meilaw2877]

Love your reaction to Yebba...she deserves that reaction...Next.. pls check out her rendition of Gravity w Clark Beckham. Not as heavy..but definitely soulful...

[@KRayTV1]

@Mei thank you 😊 and yes I already added this to the list and will be doing it as soon as I wrap up some other videos

[@blackbirdflyy333]

this song touch our soul.. We All been though this before brought back memories.. watching this made me feel I deserve so much & to never settle for less because it's not worth losing our minds over so express your feelings & move on so she put her feelings in a song

[@JessieDubois8]

1) I had gone through something like this when I first listened to this. when I tell you, that I was SOBBING. 2) Her mom had just committed suicide 2 weeks before this performance, so she was already in an emotional state 3) She had the AUDACITY to calmly & quietly say “That’s that one” after she DRAGGED us and took us to CHURCH. 😂

[@KRayTV1]

Facts!!!
