NIKKI ROSS PERFORMS 'TOTAL PRAISE"

[@ernestenoch6436]

When you can play and sing your mind is opened up to every note in the chords you're playing. Perfect example is Kim Burrell,Stevie Wonder, Daryl Coley,& the list goes on. Enjoyed this..... even the Clark sisters play and sing not just Twinkie

[@akguess]

Incredible!! Not just the anointing, but the riffs and changes and she can PLAY... LET NO ONE FOOL YOU, that is not skill, IT IS ANOINTING. Bless you sister and keep walking in God's Will! God will be long blessing you while we CRITIQUE.

[@MrSwaggOnEm]

I think if your meditating on God it don't matter if she running or not it's God that should be getting glorified ... I don't know about yall but i felt it ... It don't take much for God to move on me .... Great job and continue to let the Lord use you ....

[@911valentino]

Nikki is a blessing to the world. Her voice is crazy!

[@rawkdiamondz]

phew!!! I am exhausted after that performance!!! WOW!!!! I am in awe!!! I would need to be admitted into the hospital to have my vocal chords replaced after that workout session!!! Simply amazing!!!!

[@dulzura24]

All I have to say is that when you go in and begin to worship the riffs and runs don't take away from the song's message..God Bless You Nikki and may your gift continue to be used to lift up a praise. To GOD be the GLORY!!!!!

[@tyreynolds6411]

Awesome...jazzy gospel...love it...rare...the runs were impeccable

[@TamBehindThaMic]

Yess SISTAR! Truly blessed with the vocal range, chords and song. I salute you all praises.♡

[@donovangriffith5440]

Wow, well I thoroughly enjoyed her lilting through this song. Musically, this is so beautiful and refreshing. Who are any of you to scrutinize her approach to a song..and let's not confuse accidentals and key changes with going "off key" , accidentally. Have your preference, but don't devalue her style of singing just because it doesn't fit into your proverbial box.

[@LitoeF]

I Agree

[@davidhlaw]

Off key? She has perfect pitch and knows exactly what she’s doing

[@3910WNSNTsbyers]

JUST A BEAST!!!! Nuff said!!!

[@TheChristianJShow]

Omq i love her so much she's truly a blessing and i just love sitting watching and hearing her-

[@pierrelynch1]

A musical genius. Only God can bestow such a gift. She is doing just what God led her to do. AMEN!!!!

[@odomjohn44]

what a gifted woman..just awe struck!!

[@MrDistinction]

So much talent.

[@PopAndSwingAndClass]

This is insane how GOOD this is!!!! Nikki Ross wow!!!!

[@HB3ZZY]

Thx you very very much, you took the words right outta my mouth. Great singer though ;-)

[@markpeterson1995]

Fiya👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿

[@msladye22]

Right on! That run, riff, whatever you want to call it was so crazy!

[@Maine1868]

I love how the guy in the back couldn't even contain himself because of how POWERFUL her sanginnnnn wa!!

[@sohpnotiq]

this woman is a beast when it comes to singing!!!!

[@TheMainSongster123]

SHE KILLED IT !!

[@thatflyguy1980]

Very skilled musician and singer!!

[@FJoseph2009]

WOW.... Amazing

[@jonathangriesy4652]

W-O-W...beautiful tone. And yes, she is not out of tune or pitchy. Just has a gift to flow in and out of keys and minor note flourishes.

[@theqboo]

My God, I love me some NIkki's praise her skills are truly offered to God, "true in praise". This is a personal thing.

[@malesedikhonoti2932]

I am in tears 😭

[@cj10109]

Beautiful.

[@DWMooMoo]

OH MY GOD NIKKI. I LOVE IT WOW....

[@ntn056]

She is simply amazing....

[@singerforGod11]

i love nikki ross so much!

[@sychembutler13]

i Love To hear her sing iam a musican myself was brought up around singers al In my family but the statement was made about all the rips And runa all through the song actually is a gift but it can also take away From the anointing that needs To touch someone thats just like a keyboard player that puts all he knows And learn In every song he plays or a Drummer being extra In his playing a singer also has to stay close to the pocket and not take the fullness out of the song this is from experience this is my opinion everyone is intitle to feel the way they feel this is open media

[@KattsKreativeKorner]

Amazing

[@shawnoso100]

EPIC!!

[@IAmEbony1]

Love it!!!!!!!

[@jheath181]

I LOVE IT!!!

[@beyondblsd]

God bless Nikki Ross..She has an awesome voice andI would love it to get her down here... where I am at. Where is Nikki from? anyway I love it and so far she has blessed me so much!

[@oferportugaly]

you are amazing!!!

[@Mr.KevinJerome]

1:05 to 1:09 is the best part of this VID.....She sounded SO PURE and SO LOVING right there. Nikki has a voice that is great. Runs are a part of the Gospel Music genre. BUT I LOVE IT WHEN ARTISTS CAN EXERCISE SINGING STRAIGHT and be so inviting. That is such a strong point most people have no appetite for. MICHEAL FRANKS was a master of singing straight without vibrato. MARVIN WINANS also has a gift for that mature choice of approach. NIKKI ROSS is STILL a NOW GENERATION SINGER. Great job SIS.

[@Quenesiaful]

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrSwaggOnEm]

@Dbux23 Only God knows if it's the anointing or not or who she's doing it for .... But as i said before i ( I felt it) because of the words not how she sung it ... See us a believers have to learn how to get into the spirit for ourselves and not have to wait on man or to see how someone sounds to get there ... It's just like when you go to church you shouldn't go there waiting for the pastor to get you in the spirit you should go there looking to get into the spirit yourself ...

[@TheSuperkennedy]

For all y'all having a problem with Ms. Nikki...I'ma need you to sing the original melody. These songs are older than old, and what she did to them makes me want to praise all over again. This isn't about riffing...She went off into a place that very few musicians and people get to go...she was in that expressive space and what she expressed to her Creator was awesome!!! We get a little too constrained with the technical...how many of you have actually just praised him? Sounds just like this

[@8thboyz]

beast mode she went in!

[@RONIDC1979]

let her have it. she . i . speechless!!

[@bigskill45]

Yeah!!! She hurt em with the earth song riff for sure!!!!!!

[@leounardosantos]

Melhor cantora.

[@orlenecharles6590]

Reading all the comments about her riffs and runs...but you all have to understand she singing to a target audience. They live for this stuff. This isn't for a regular church service as the special number before the preacher. The vocal acrobatics overpower the lyrics but the people are happy to be entertained...so it's ok.

[@Phoenixrising09]

Idc what anyone says, she sang on this video!!! AMAZING!!! If you sing then you know she has some skills!!!!

[@MrDmcty1]

7:58-8:03 that riff WHAT IN THE WORLD! Is this REAL LIFE?!?!? GOSH! AMAZING!

[@pauloblackmusic]

O melhor....

[@Shannon920]

My oh my!

[@omarrperry]

She definitely appeals to singers, musicians, and church children. lol

[@rustyglock212]

Right!

[@masterl14]

The run from 2.40 WAS KILLA!!!!! *FAINTS* LORD SAVE!!

[@timotheejackson]

gurl you BETTA sing.....now take a bow

[@valeriefoye2]

PHENOMENAL GIFT....................PERIOD! It's a wrap!

[@tubles4u]

you betta sing nikki!!!!!!!!

[@tyjefferson11]

Love you mam!

[@noemirsantos]

Sem palavras..sem palavras...EU TE AMO Nikki!! Que Deus a abençoe sempre mais e mais!

[@TheKingdomboi]

The title sums it up...."PERFORMS!'' ...

[@LawrenceOCook]

Agrees

[@andreedavis8530]

My God. The anointing on her life.....Jesus!

[@facebackvocal3003]

🥹🔥❤️❤️❤️ miss u Nikki

[@NajhaeT]

why do people hate so much on her riffs and runs? i personally love them all, she couldve chose ANY other genre of singing but she's singing for the lord, HE gave her her gift, so saying SHE isnt worshipping is just ignorant, rude and disrespectful, if you dont like the way she sings there are thousands of other gospel singers you can listen to, no one told you to type in nikki ross, you should go back and edit YOURSELF before you place judgement on someone else, real talk

[@prjtmusiz]

Sing Nikki :)

[@reasewiggles]

i almost just went in on that part!!!

[@leolove]

1:05 - 1:09, so sweet and hauntingly beautiful...love the echo effect!!

[@okebaram]

Aaaah after reading your comment, now I got it!

[@nulosounds]

1:39 to 1:50 the run over F minor to the B-flat diminished I believe very melodic I will be stealing that trust me. I like when singers can sing what's in the chord instead of alwas going to a penatonic scale. Bless you Mam!

[@lashaunabowie]

I CANT CONNECT WITH GOD WITH ALL THESE RUNS BUT SHE CAN BLOW

[@okebaram]

@TeeBird504 as it turns out the anointing feeling thing is often subjective, and that's okay for now. I felt a flood of anointing and sincerity in worship, and I know I'm not alone there.

[@dartisk]

The reason for the riffs and runs because her praise is reflecting the riffs and runs and trails in her life !!!!!! *praise break*

[@okebaram]

@denoprofundo using runs as ascents, so well worded, is mostly how I would sing, if I could sing, and it is very awesome strategy. At the same time, the saturated vocal improvisation like Nikki does, and Rachelle Ferrell does, etc is very amazing, in a different way. Both styles have some very amazing layer that the other is not as strong in. I love both. But from an art perspective, them quieting down does not necessarily mean that they were not being more blown away with each new run.

[@Dc3atl]

3:29-3:37... i love how she sounds like she is sayin something here... very scattish lol.. love it.

[@dimitrehorton9889]

Shes Dope for sure! All the activity makes people miss the message of the song and only get involved in the hype of what she did and not what she she said! Whats more important what she said or what she did??? We, Who have been given the gift to communicate the gospel need to understand the if the peopel dont get the message, the point then we have failed as communicators of the gospel! Just saying! God Bless!

[@apca08]

LOL! HAHA! am i the only one that hears the snippet of michael jackson's "earth song"?!?!? around 7:05? HAHAHAHAAA!!! listen CLOSELY! LOL!

[@SOULSANTOS7]

ohohoho God!!!

[@LadyShabazzHijabi]

Totally Hear Michael Jacson in the rift at 7:05 lol too funty but sis is great at runs and jazz cords really great!!!!!

[@okebaram]

Why is the "storm" and "you are" part of Total Praise cut out?

[@churchboi4christ]

hahahaha yeSSSSSS MJ all day on that earth song!!!!!

[@mrswright326]

if i could give you 10 thumbs up. its like ma'am we all no you can sang and run and riff with the best of them . but every now and than( im my preacher voice) just sing the song .

[@MJSJenkins1991]

HER RANGE IS JUST SICK!

[@steviechords]

@MetriJay I agree, that representing the original melody is best. However, I feel we need to make exceptions for songs that we have heard 400 times before. That goes double for songs like "Total Praise" where the melody is all half notes and quarter notes.

[@candeese777]

WHY DO PEOPLE SO HATE ON RIFFS AND RUNZ....IT IS STILL WORSHIP PLEASE STOP HATTIN STTTOOOOOPPPP !!

[@livingblessed100]

Yes the runs and riffs are way too much..but i don't think she's showing off. That just how she sings...I think that the more she's feeling Jesus the more the riffs come. She doesn't seemed to be phased by the reaction around her she's personally being taken in by the presence of the Lord.

[@robskeys88]

Not too much at all!

[@shaylabrown6038]

Niiiiiiiki. Lord Jesus. I love you. Saaaaaaaaaaaaaang to Jesus. Gloooooory

[@DrCharityTV]

Why is she so SIQ?!?!?! I love it!

[@jaifromars]

dang Christians..... she's still a musician.... let her be one. pleaseeee

[@collinisaiah1376]

"Great musician." Appreciate …

[@brelashayy2k]

If you know the original melody of the song, you should be able to follow lol there is NOTHING wrong with her singing it to her liking! Its her worship! Only God needs to pleased!!! Not you all, in all honesty i think she killed...and if you cant follow the chords & whatnot...listen again lol

[@matthewmorales1509]

anyone know the second song she started to sing after total praise?

[@okebaram]

I'm Available to You

[@Peazy1085]

she sings background on sunday best now

[@TheSuperkennedy]

Man Alive Nikki Ross... You praised the buttocks off the song...I don't want to hear it again, from anyone else for at least 5 years.

[@masterl14]

@apca08 YEP!!! I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!!!!! AMAZINGNESS!!!!

[@steviechords]

@jesusishisname102 I beg to differ, she DID do all those runs in There is No Way. We just consider those runs to be the way the song goes because we heard her sing it first.

[@NajhaeT]

7:05-7:38 kills especially 7:21-7:30 sooo beautiful, do you nikki ross, we love you

[@TayTheAncient]

8:40 Okay I heard pure Dorinda Clark Cole!!!

[@Siobhan90sBaby]

The voice is an instrument... come on now peeps... !!! She sure knows how to play hers very well!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jfizzle211]

@apca08 YES !! & she deff killed it !!! like dagggg i got goose bumps all over cuzza her LOL she is jus sick w/ her voice !!!!!!! OMG ... i still got goose bumps as of now !!!!! I LOVE NIKKI !!! ♥

[@mrsfthomas]

@NateKeasley man i wanna shake your hand! i am reading all of the comments and i am wondering if the people thats says this is worshiping ever experience worship before. worship aint no light stuff ya know. i live on an island and i have traveled the world. i have heard her worship God before and that een it. jus flips, jumps and rolls is what it is....vocal acrobatics or should i say technique.

[@f4evrgrtful]

GLORY TO GOD! YOUR VOICE SOUNDS LIKE YOU CAN BREAK CHAINS AND BONDAGE'S AND YOKES, KEEP SINGING, LET GOD USE YOU TO TOUCH AND HEAL US!

[@TTG1973]

I love the Jazziness of it! The beginning was GREAT if she reel it in a tad with the runs she'll be even greater! 1:05 and 1:47 runs were PERFECT. Did ya'll notice that she DID that ECHO effect at 1:05 herself that's not sound effects!

[@SuperBad111000]

The drumers face in the backround lol!
