[@AishaCRNA]

YESSS. There was a point where is funk face was like "wow, this woman is SANGIN"

[@SuSuKhair]

With the stank face like you bettaaaaaaaaaa sang!

[@Words-of-encouragement.-.]

It's that Jazmine Sullivan effect. I've been listening to her for years and I still have that reaction lol.

[@Adora3473]

anybody knows the name of the guy?

[@hopebryant6752]

She’s the type of artist where you can’t sing along with her live performances because she does a different rendition of her songs every time and I’m just like in awe 😂 like she is beyond talented.

[@pleezahful]

Like NO two performances are the same

[@hopebryant6752]

@@pleezahful literally not one! She kills it! If I ever get the chance to see her in concert I’ll just be standing in amazement rather than signing along and I’m perfectly okay with that 😂

[@pleezahful]

@@hopebryant6752 absolutely! I feel the same way. I would just stand there with tears of amazement and joy 😭

[@marquitaparahams]

And each rendition be perfection! Like how Jaz?! She is so amazing!

[@blessedandfavored9242]

If you’re musically inclined then….. we singing along because we hear how it’s going different 😂😂

[@sashav.3189]

It’s still not enough, she should be highest paid. But I also know what kind of world we live in.

[@King-lt8ml]

Bro Yesss..Finally She deserves all her flowers esp wit this project

[@yoso5934]

It’s her time & her season 💜🌸🔥

[@putus18]

The way her guitarist watches her to gauge how soft or loud she’s going to sing to match him playing, is beautiful.

[@tommyl9961]

She was singing this song from a different place tonight and I loved every second

[@darabreudelarosa3169]

Oh she was!

[@tommyl9961]

dar abreu de la rosa like “who made you mad friend?? Let’s talk about it”

Lawd!

[@NinaPulley-n8c]

Sick of it!! Lol

[@tylermccall220]

Even the way Simon looks at her at the end he’s like “ wow this woman’s voice is crazy “

[@EverythingLaTriceJ.]

the guitarist right? yeeeeeessss

[@mazalrose2112]

Bruh I think he fell in love because those looks are of admiration 😭😭

[@ainsleymarie03]

His smiles made this performance that much more intimate istg, they both set the mood so well😭

[@ciarrajohnson3849]

He’s like “Sis you’re lucky my contract forbids me from throwing my guitar🙃🙂”

[@krazon5270]

Looking at her as well to know as when he should stop the adlib lol

[@JovanPerez]

haven't had chills like the ones I got from this in a while

[@kimroberts7006]

Agreed! I was listening to this again from the kitchen for the I-don't-know-how-many-times at this point and it still gave me full body chills throughout the whole song. Bonkers.

[@eles.tonanti]

EXACTLYYYY

[@makhaipennington8214]

This how I be feeling listening to you bro your on repeat bro💯💯

[@lululovescatsverymuch]

Same 😻 But I feel the same to when I listen to your voice 😻😍👌🏼

[@mwambaseneo]

Jazmine Sullivan is actually so top tier it’s mad it’s sickening the vocallssss

[@sdotonye]

🔥🔥

[@johniebaltimore]

When Jazmine sings this song by herself with no bgvs, I really feel the depth of the lyrics more. It brings me to tears.

[@kareninascott3899]

Exactly, the lyrics make you 😢

[@johniebaltimore]

@@kareninascott3899 ❤️❤️❤️

[@victorblackett8273]

[@rhythmandgrooves869]

Completely agree. ❤️

[@brenttalley5819]

I most definitely approve this message 😎😆

[@matthewcuriel991]

I like jimmy kimmel one but close 2nd tbh

[@theorangefactory]

I don’t know how her guitarist didn’t just stop and stare. There’s no way I could Play along to that and not get lost in her greatness. Wow wow wow

[@jeannoire5250]

Seeing all of these comments about the guitarist being amazed at Jazmine makes me realize that people may not understand how much musicians feed off of vocalists and vice versa. I saw a comment saying that Jazmine sang this song from a different place on this performance. That's because it was stripped down acoustically with nothing but a good ole guitar. Trust and believe, had he not played so good she wouldn't have sang it this good. This is true artistry & musicianship. It's all about feeling.

[@tommyl9961]

Yes !!!!

[@TheAvgWoman]

Yes! Coming from a musician, also.

[@pcamajoyi8946]

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@Klgray7373]

No ma’am she STILL would have ate it up but in a different way. That’s the amazement of her instrument (voice). She gives what needs to be given, when it’s given!

[@Canikos]

3:23 the projection of her voice! She’s a ridiculously fantastic singer. My goodness

[@darabreudelarosa3169]

This performance is something else, it is elevated. Her gift is unmatched, her talent is so pure, her voice is dynamic, captivating. She is black excellence and I love to see it.

[@just_saiyann1165]

3:25 - The fact that I could hear the audience losing it....🔥

I bet Jazmine Sullivan is registered somewhere as an actual instrument

Probably as a lethal weapon too. The woman is dangerous with that voice

An instrument of PRAISE!

[@pagej8236]

Truly a talent. I love how the guitarist is looking at her in awe

[@IsaiahSingsGreat]

She was in a different BAG for this performance . Her nuisances and choices were AMAZING 😩

[@SGMGTimHughes]

Definitely agree fam!!! Good ole Birkin Bag!!

[@ashleytrue4455]

When she swung that arm "yall ninja's be taking us there"!!! I felt that!!

[@jillian320]

It’s the confidence for me. She is so comfortable in her tone. It’s literally effortless 💐

[@RockyAllPurpose]

That’s really key

[@jbru290]

The guitarist's face at 03:15. Sums it all up!

[@KeenEye232]

The way Simon appreciates Jazmines artistry is breathtaking. You can see them feeding off of each other’s energy in every video you see them in. Just vibes.

[@nelliepratt4074]

Her range is ridiculous. So wonderful to my ears. Glad she's getting some recognition finally, she deserves that shit!

[@queavant5055]

Jazmine is a top tier artist. Her voice is immaculate and her runs are strategically placed. I love her!

[@vancemars1174]

3:17 WHEW! THIS is a solid singer! So soulful! She like if Ella & Aretha had in THIS time zone.

[@habitualflair6509]

I love how she experiments every rendition of her songs! She not only sings DOWN, but she’s so creative! That’s when you can tell someone’s living in their purpose. She had fun with this one and looks amazing.🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@kemarswaggkidbrown8704]

I don’t think y’all understand how powerful and captivating this woman’s voice is. Truly one of the greatest voices in R&B 🫶🏾

Im going through a bad breakup and still trying to heal from being deceived, blindsided, and embarrassed by this person. This song continues to speak to my soul and has been my only saving grace from being overwhelmed with sadness. Idk what it is but the way she sings it just touches my soul. Such a talented artist.

[@Chris_Gage1]

The control is insane! Definitely a powerful singer so smooth it’s ridiculous! Sang Jasmine!

[@ashelywallace9172]

Literally after 2:40 I was just shook. She snappppppped. I need to get my life at a concert ASAP. I can’t. Like whatttttt???!?! That end? Undefeated.

[@christina0927]

every time she performs this song it gets BETTER. her power!!!!!!!

[@14missgraham]

She has the gift of singing a song a 1000x but always making it sound different 😩😩 THE GOAT of our generation

[@Teezer44]

In 50 years time, people will look back at her voice in the same we now look back at Ella Fitzgerald and Dinah Washington. Truly, truly a once in a generation voice.

[@francisw3456]

It's the EVERYTHING, the talent is unmatched! periodt!

[@Gnoremak]

She killed it again! Jazmine is EVERYTHING! I hate when people say she should be more celebrated I don’t think y’all realize how much of a backhanded compliment that is!

[@travisspaulding9540]

I don’t think it is, I feel like it’s kinda true, she’s definitely getting even more national recognition now but lots of people feel like she should be even bigger than she is. I don’t think that’s backhanded at all. She’s elite.

[@aaronnewman7573]

yall i cant stop watching this. she done song this song many times but she NEVER snapped like this, especially on the last chorus.

[@mims1992-y6c]

You know you're a star when your guitar player shows you love like that - he couldn't hide his smile at those notes she was hitting. It's so awesome because Jazmine sings as if she is another instrument in the band, she complements and adds to music rather than just singing over it. No wonder her musicians love playing for her. Absolutely amazing.

[@moeketsisegakoeng2108]

Bro this performance is so packed with emotion. She is singing from a different kind of place and this is why I love live acoustic performances because everything is left on that stage at end.

[@rhythmandgrooves869]

Here to say two things: 1. I think I’ve listened to this 50 times today, and can’t get enough. She is unreal and I will never be tired of it. 2. I’d give my left kidney for her to collab with YEBBA.
