Dang, she sang circles all around me. She just stands there with little to no effort and tears it up. I wish I could sing like that. She's so gifted. Excellent performance.

[@karlamcleod9703]

The Gospel industry welcomes everyone, but not everyone can honor the Legends . I am truly happy for Ledisi and Fantasia that the torch was passed to them. Both these ladies can sang a diversity of music.

[@jheath181]

I can hear her sing all day, 24/7, and not get sleepy. She's got such an amazing talent.

[@will85572]

people dont understand ledisi voice but she kill it

[@MrRcndad5]

To all the naysayers... Ledisi started out in gospel. She lead a gospel song at a gospel concert at her high school. BTW, if any one you all paid attention, she verbs to go to person in gospel for tributes and dedications of gospel artist. Dead and alive. If you get a chance, check her out doing a tribute to the Hawkins... He Grateful! My God! My God!!!!!

[@kronthegreat22]

maybe the crowd dont hear what i hear cause i got goosebumps

[@joycecunningham8785]

Shirley Ceasar picked the artist to sing the tributes.

[@ScienceFunWithKingston]

SOME BODY GET THIS WOMAN!!!! AMEN... LOVE LEDISI.. an anointing is an awesome thing

[@burch0314]

She made the song hers... She didnt mock Mother Shirley and I love her for that! And yes she sings back!

[@stephanieford8922]

Great performance ledisi

[@ddhgirl]

Ledisi did a beautiful job on this song! She sang it "Ledisi style". Songs don't "belong" to any one person a talented vocalist can sing ANY Song. The voice is an instrument, so just like a song can be play on an organ, piano, flute or guitar, the voice can be used in the same way. You may not enjoy the style as much as another, but the talent is STILL there. And Ledisi DELIVERS this song TO ME..and I DO receive it--I AM NEXT IN LINE FOR A MIRACLE!

[@CboogieLove]

OMG she is officially my new favorite singer! To make a churchy song into a jazz song..God i do that i thought i was the only one! i love her!! beast!!! !!!!!!!!

[@lylliegloinc9408]

Oh my God! Thank you Jesus! I certainly was next in line. God healed me.

[@DarellJHunt]

[@pamelamoore5795]

Ledisi has a wonderful voice. God has gifted her and she's using it. She sang this song the way God had her to sing it.

[@minstrbanks]

[@vangoghmatisse1]

[@MizzHayley46]

BGVS OF LIFE! YES!

[@TheRealnigga1ify]

ledisi's voice was alien to them they didnt know what to do with it.

[@DeRhea07272001]

@gottaluv4music amen too that, God knows the messages he send through her are very anointed and blessed. She always has a beautiful spirit, I think she realize like we all should is that you can't make people like you or say amen. But the Lord knows all and sees all.

[@Smoovdabeast]

3:11 Til end she killd it

[@cdwilliams798]

Diss wanch is ruff...I love you Ledisi!

[@RITAC1310]

Nothing Is Wrong With The Way She Sang This Song She Was Being Her Self. Sing Ledisi She Stand Along Don't Need No Help.

[@deansvision]

Let Everything That Hath Breath Praise The Lord! I am so glad that GOD is the ONLY one that knows & sees our heart. Don't any of you self righteous people know Ledisi's testimony or relationship with God. let the light shine on some of your flaws that you've had since you've been so-called a Christian!!!!!! We'd see that you are human and not perfect as well.

[@shardtx]

I'm glad she called the DEAD crowd out!

[@neetrab]

I feel the same way.....

[@the1atcpc]

My God!!!!

[@Incognitoking7]

She sat down and ate honey!!!! LOL

[@boseknows0]

I don't know this song that so many deem as traditional and obviously a part of their Christian upbringing. I LOVE Ledisi. I know her personally, and I can say she is one of the sweetest, most humble, God loving people I have ever met. If you listen closely and with a discerning ear, much of the music on her R&B albums are anthems to God. She is a believer. And even if she wasn't, God can use ANYONE to deliver His message. You so-called "Christians" need to stop alienating people from the church

[@DaveTonymusic]

Fantasia is anointed!!!!!!

[@LJChaisson]

What the hec was going on with that crowd..are they always so freak'n dead..I recently saw Yolanda giving tribute to Donnie SANGing to Stand and OMG..he was the only one in the room standing, tears pouring..(so was I, lol) and I just went wild with Ledisi on this..she is incredible and these people..OMG WHaaat..have they not gone through things..how can you not stand up and just..OMG This was outstanding.

[@MrKeyzguy]

SANG LEDS!!!!!

[@MWILKINS85]

@gottaluv4music ,Holy is what Holy does...

[@fucu41]

So Ironic a REAL GOSPEL SINGER(SINGER PERIOD), and their are haters in the room

[@Dsosa720]

Let us not forget the ways of Christ and stop being cauth up in the Hoop Lah. Jesus psoke to the Samaritan woman, the tax collectors, the simple fisherman, the farmers, the poor, the harlets, the children, and even the lepors whom Everybody deemed untouchable. Point is no one knows who is chosen of God and what and who their ministry is or can reach. She sang this song!

[@elitelokkz]

A few comments down someone said "did they run out if Christians who actually walk this walk?" Excuse me, but there are many PATHS to God and each person's walk is different. You don't know what Ledisi or any other artist walks. It's been "Christian" artist exposed all the time for falling short, but lets have them sing b/c they're "gospel" singers. Have all the seats in the sanctuary if you'd like, but do not judge because that not your place, CHILD OF GOD.

[@MrKeyzguy]

SING LEDS!!!!!!!!

[@MrMbell2]

@ManDownVocal973 You got that right.

[@MWILKINS85]

@gottaluv4music , I def agree with you on that, lol. Funny you put Beyonce and Fantasia in that post....

[@Tezzy404]

@deansvision #EnuffSaid....Pass the plate and go to your OWN home....lol i love you for elling the truf

[@Clemsonshawty]

@MrCogicson1 I totally agree....Im a huge fan of hers but this wasnt the song for her!

[@donte3739]

3:12😎😎😎😎

[@holygostfilled3]

*want to see

[@msr18924]

She may not be a gospel artists but if some of those ppl in that room treat her like an outcast she may never be a gospel artists and more importantly totally surrender to Christ and sing 100% for him! but the argument of why a secualr artists gave tribute is understandable!

[@faafafineartist]

@ManDownVocal973 well said. unfortunately the ones who cast that first stone are usually the most deviant of the best of them. i love watching how most 'religious' assume they are the chosen few, with the license to condemn anyone who doesn't live the way they do...disgusting.

[@MWILKINS85]

@MWILKINS85

[@Raphalou]

And who ever said Ledisi was not saved or a believer? People will cast Judgment without having any facts, based on their very ignorant opinion. Get your life, and stop being miserable. It's always unhappy people who are ALWAYS filled with judgmental opinions! Sick of it!

[@jamelodythomas3771]

RaphaelLouis Jones and they see why people don't go to churtch

[@justachill]

LEDISI THEY WAS BOTHERED CUZ YOU CAME ALONG AND SHOW THEM HOW GOSPEL SINGERS SHOULD BE SINGING LOL

[@MWILKINS85]

They was probably disturbed by an R&B singer singing this song...... How could she minister to them and she's an R&B singer? That's what the people said to me that was there.....

[@holygostfilled3]

I won't to see her and Karen go at it

[@JovanGoreChannel]

Kenny Mike Did u see her and Kelly go at it😳😳😳

[@ManDownVocal973]

Why wouldn't a secular artist give a tribute? Just because one does not sing gospel does not mean they're a bad person or don't love Go. Just becaue you sing gospel doesn't mean that you're automatically a good person. I've met rappers who were nicer than some gospel artist! STOP IT!

[@laidyeh]

That's probably because they couldn't get with her style of singing...We talking Tennessee here...They only know one way...

[@lylliegloinc9408]

To Sugarbear****. Your comment is less than Godly. That's like saying did Jesus minister to the lost souls because he ran out of Christian. It is also a very judge mental statement. My prayer is that you realize that you can't keep Jesus in a box. Anyone can worship Him in the manner that suits them.

[@Sugabear1976]

What did they run out of Christian singers WHO ACTUALLY WALK THIS WALK? RIDICULOUS!!!!

[@neetrab]

I'm sorry, but that's a lie..lol

[@shardtx]

The woman is SANGING and MINISTERING and that crowd is so DEAD. SHAME ON YALL!

[@Vfieldsone]

I love Ledisi and her voice but this song doesn't fit her at all.

[@deedeesboi1]

Really!!! she is so pitchy in the beginning, it will be to painful to listen to the rest. They lookin at you funny because you are butchering this classic song!

[@neetrab]

I've been sleeping on Ledisi and now I KNOW WHY! lol I decided to finally look at a video of hers and this is the first one I chose... I didn't like this performance at all. #disappointed
