I just love Jon Batiste. Tori Kely's voice is just made for R&B and jazz.

[@judywaits4u]

@Angela Merkel True, she just has a magical voice.

[@Tenareth]

I love Jon, and he's amazing as Stephen's band leader... but I feel other members of his band would be better at talking/interacting with Stephen. I feel like Jimmy figured that out with the Roots and interacts with many members of the band that are better at talking while not reducing the quality of the band leader.

[@Fajri_Umar]

Made for EVERYTHING

[@Traces13]

She is definitely r&b. it'll take her about another 10 years to find her style as a jazz vocalist, but she ain't there yet.

[@onenacho1237]

Jon’s face always looks like he’s surprised at how amazing his fingers are, like their doing their own thing and he’s just along for the ride. Love that guy.

[@rollercoaster55]

I think you're projecting what you think he thinks which is dangerous stuff because he's not you! I make similar expressions (they're common) and for me it's about me enjoying the music I'm making rather than some ego trip about how amazing my hands and fingers are.

[@Lissa102]

I think his expressions were more about tori than his fingers😂😂

[@art_by_adrian2913]

Such flawless human beings Simon Cowell told Tories she wasn't good enough for idol and wouldn't put her through the first round there's never been a more flawless voice I've followed her since and look what all she's done this makes me happy

[@Wiley_Coyote]

Things happen for a reason. She's ten times the artist because of having to struggle after that.

I've seen Jon do a bunch of these, the guy is a legend. He grooves with all the singers, but this was something else, he was loving it, Tori was loving it, what a great colab. Truly talented people sharing their gifts.

[@rynreece]

Can't believe these two linked up. Now that's 🔥 Now that's magic!

[@agie170hss2]

Hands down one of, if not the, best vocal / accompaniment pieces that I have ever heard. And the looks, emotion, and pure enjoyment on Jon's face makes it all even better, if that's possible. Stunning.

[@superduperjoi6800]

Ikr yess

[@rollercoaster55]

She's the best singer I've heard for a few generations now. What she can do with her voice is amazing. Yes, she has perfect tone, but her real gift is mastery of a many complex vibrato riffs in a wide tonal range.

[@route909]

Imagine being the cinematographer. I film concerts for a living. This would throw me into a an insane laughter just realizing how awesome it is. Geez. Love it.

@@pedroguilherme722 I have heard more than enough of Beyonce performances. Everyone has a unique voice and sometimes when people idolize a singer for sometimes, they fall in love with the uniqueness of their voice and cannot judge other voices accurately because of course other voices are different but they are wanting to hear the same voice. If you get past that, it should be obvious that Tori Kelly is a better vocalist than Beyonce and Beyonce is overrated by fans who claim she is the best. Olivia is spot on with her comment.

She might be in tune but it's too bad she's not singing a "tune." It might just be a generational thing... but back in the old days, it was important for a song to be SINGABLE by almost everyone... or, at least hummable. I defy any of you to now sing, or play what you just heard.
