Rachelle Ferrell & Jennifer Hudson, March 3, 2012, Viper Alley, Lincolnshire, Illinois on Stage

[@ravishingrookrude]

Ferrell's voice is an instrument. Amazing.

[@mswkmw4683]

+Rook Rude Real talk...she is the only singer I have ever heard whose voice spans all 88 keys of the piano....the sickest!!

[@TheJaxVillain]

The absolute perfect way to describe it!!

[@nyemadavis3786]

Lawd have mercy! Is it ever! 🙌🏾❤🙌🏾 I swear, whenever I see her live, I literally levitate up out of my seat!

[@clchawaii09]

PERIODT

[@jamesmurphy-walsh8966]

Rachelle is like a elder from heaven her voice is out of this world and she is so wise

[@sharongrant6842]

Yes indeed love grace and much wisdom Come on Ms.Rachelle and Jennifer

[@sydneyreid7401]

Yes

[@deborahpatterson7692]

She is STRAIGHT UP NO CHASE!!! Preach Rachelle!

[@clarissab5882]

"Energy cannot be destroyed, only transformed." You betta preach, Rachelle. What a lesson from a legend. Just wow.

[@CountryCowboy008]

Come thru, Physics teacher!

[@willeneboone4031]

I have always enjoyed rochell musrs n will dowing jr

[@carlalewis28]

I would have burst into tears with her singing to me like that

[@donjazzy5510]

I did....

[@antoinettelashelle5093]

I know I would have been bawling!!!!!!

[@aaleyah5380]

Chylllle like somebody shot me. 😂

[@kgall6784]

I think these young sisters need a "musical Momma" in the entertainment industry and I can't think of better ones than Rachelle and Patti and Gladys and Tina. If they would just do what Rachelle just did and take these little girls by the hand and teach them how to be humble with their gifts. I love Rachelle for being THIS WOMAN!

[@LadyTate925]

OMG you SAID THAT!!!!!

[@Naesman1167]

K Gall Just saw this. This is what it’s all about. This is what I love about sisters who love each other and enjoy the love of giving.. Jennifer has some big projects coming down the line in retrospect. Meaning her role in Aretha Franklin’s bio-pic... I hope she made that call to Rachelle... The two of them together would be magic...

[@MimiKeel]

She's a bit younger, but let's not forget Fantasia Barrino.

[@mjmc5962]

Rachelle is an amazing woman. She could teach us all a thing or two. She is a gift from God that has not been given enough credit for her art. Sista’ can sing and play the piano. May she bless us all with her presence and many more songs to come.❤️💗❤️ Love and blessings…. 🙏🏽🌺❤️🙏🏽

[@marcellinejackson3826]

I know what you mean chile. ❤️

[@mysteryof7]

Rachelle is in a class all her own. The woman's voice is...I just don't have words to describe. man! awestruck every time she sings

[@AndreSilva-eh1rz]

[@rudolphmcneill3333]

I totally agree.

[@keianavernon7103]

Her voice is truly amazing and so is her spirit ❤️🙏🏾😇

[@jinaedinisci159]

I LOVE Rachelle Ferrell, she will always praise other vocalists

[@deashamitchell5757]

Am I the only one in tears? This was so heart felt!!!

[@jerryhutson6092]

Girlllll... I'm sittin' here at work with misty eyes and goosebumps. I ain't gonna lie.

[@greyonyx08]

I cried the whole performance.

[@mem3769]

😿😹😿😹

[@meekmeek2600]

My eyes 👀 burning 😭😍 Girl This is a powerful performance 🎤🎶🌌🌟👑💜

[@BlueMarvel21]

Nope. I had tears, too; and the greatest thing about this was that Rachelle did it in spirit of honoring Jennifer's gift, mentoring her and genuinely wanting to sing WITH her instead of the desire to want to outshine her. She had faith in Jennifer's range and knew full well she could hit those notes (that's why she gave them to her) then took the harmony above even that (WOW!). 🙌

[@cleopatralimakatsomokokoan7873]

J Hud's voice is melodic even when talking and Rachelle is beyond words. She is a vocal beast and so warm

[@debif2698]

I love this, Rachelle Farrell teaching JHud on stage. It's good to teach those that have a teachable spirit. It's good to see those who have walked the path turn around and pull the next generation up. No jealousy, No hate, just help and assitance, on stage. Thank You Farrell Rachelle, one of my favs!

[@karmencummings5463]

AMEN!!!!!!

[@cheriware7123]

Amen !

[@juni5430]

It’s ALL LOVE

[@gdp6580]

Say that word Debi F❣️

[@rayray5084]

The training started with "bow to your fans" a simple act of humbleness and appreciation is key to endurance.

[@myfathersprincess]

I give Jennifer an A for effort its not easy to stand on stage and go one on one with Rachelle Ferrell. Their are singers who have been singing longer than Rachelle in the business and they won't stand on stage and sing with her.

[@iluvrachellef]

myfathersprincess Say that again. She's the other VOICE!!!!!👀

[@chiara_knows_better1971]

Because her voice is POWERFUL

[@yvetteneal6431]

The music business has many talented people who rose so high and crashed. Their voices still is heard

[@yvetteneal6431]

Their voices rise so high but also fall. Enjoy the talented people who hopefully don't get ate up in the fame machine.

[@conradking9151]

[@TheDebgirl12000]

Rachelle Ferrell can sing a phone book of names and not lose her cool! She scars and wails, and cries! The sister is so gifted, intelligent, articulate, gracious, kind, and I could go on! Jennifer and Rachelle!

[@angeljohnson6665]

Deborah G.M. yes

[@benjaminromero4074]

Yessss

[@rudolphmcneill3333]

[@WorldsNo1MusicVibe]

One of the most beautiful moments on KZbin ever!

[@glennbarnard3853]

Yes wisdom through song

[@blueskyes9380]

Everrrrrrrrrrrr🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@angiejordan6454]

I cried...beautiful

[@agungk1994]

Absolutely true... beautiful moment of a sister supporting and teaching a lesson to her little sister. The music tho makes even more beautiful

[@TrooperJones]

We will not make a demand, we will make a REQUEST! I love this woman, good lord.

[@iluvrachellef]

Trooper Jones Me too babyboi and i got my ticket to see her on 9/29/17.😀😀

[@TheBakko343]

It's a trip being given a singing lesson in front of hundreds of folks - but Jennifer got it from the best because Rachelle sees that she is one of the best, if not the best in her generation.

[@CelestialGatez]

Rachelle is an old soul embodied with the gift of music...........love her.

[@cseanr2024]

I've just recently come to know the singing of Rachelle Ferrell through tributes to Patti LaBelle, Anita Baker, etc ... Her voice is beyond amazing.

[@zanikahu7499]

That tribute was awesome

[@cmuratf73]

Very strong advice from Rachelle Ferrell, someone who really knows what the music industry can do to a young soul like Jennifer, I remember they tried to pimp Rachelle and tried to turn her into a music trick in the early 90's, she said, HELL NO!. Now, she's doing her own thing at her own terms. I hope Jennifer Hudson takes these advice to heart. Great Job Rachelle for the mentoring and your great music.

[@ClearYourMindTravel]

If Rachelle Farrell ask you to sing with her, then that means you can sang!

[@nfa_Redd]

This how black people need to encourage each other

[@olliebrown1635]

awe Jennifer was so nervous she looked like she was gone run but she hung in there simply beautiful!!!!

[@Frostgrl681]

OMG..Rachelle is just first class! I mean Jennifer Hudson is a little nervous singing around her because she knows what Rachelle can do. But right on stage, Rachelle started pulling stuff out of Jennifer, that Jennifer did not know she had inside. I need to start a go fund me page so I can get singing lessons from Ms. Ferrell.

[@manuelaizzicupo2709]

Frostgrl681 ugugvuf

[@lisawinchell-simmons4391]

Frostgrl681 @Frostgrl681 ABSOLUTELY!! ... I so agree 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@melthomas6519]

[@NIJEECAPRICORN23]

She sure did. Jennifer so sweet and humble.

[@franzvegs4497]

Rachell can.hit high notes but she doesnt have a unique quality tone of her voice..no wonder shes not popular..

[@LaMonicaHill]

I so demand that Rachelle Ferrell and Maxwell do a duet together ASAP

[@williecooper1116]

[@Bl6ckWom6n]

This was so spiritual it brought a tear to my eye. I mean a real tear just rolled down without notice. Wow! Beautiful. I love both these women. Mama Rachelle is absolutely one to give such encouragement. I appreciate her gifts deeply.

[@sfwhiteside]

This was my 40th birthday and I was there. The entire show was magnificent!!! MAG DAMN NIFICENT!!!

[@peaceseeker601]

I cry every time I watch this.... authentic...real..love among women

[@karmencummings5463]

YESSSSS!!!!!1

[@audiwankenobi361]

To watch others first class singers be totally awe struck by Rachelle has been a pleasure...I mean this respectfully.

[@carterrrrrr]

she needed that , Jennifer that is , someone to love on her without no hidden agenda's. I love how Rachelle gently pushed Jennifer out of her comfort zone, made her hit notes she probably never knew she could hit. I love it, God bless you Rachelle for nurturing these young artists that are constantly surrounded by wolves.

[@springnicole1810]

I can't believe I never saw this until today. I literally cried....

[@MKhamala]

Me too!

[@Rosannasfriend]

[@NeuRaye]

This is so, so, so cool! Mentors, advisors, surrogate mothers and fathers are so important no matter what stage of life we're in. What a delight to watch! God bless!

[@karmencummings5463]

" It takes a village..." this is simply beautiful

[@williegraham315]

We see the voice lesson but she is giving her life lessons business lessons

[@louisgreen3915]

I think many singers are great, but Rachelle is a force of nature. I would say she is a proper musician first, it just so happens that her voice is the instrument.

[@poeticallyblessed]

why am I here crying my eyes out to this!?

[@tdhatcher25]

poeticallyblessed me I cried also

[@robinallen8892]

poeticallyblessed i

[@karmencummings5463]

[@cherylbrewer7389]

The same reason I am crying my eyes out in September of 2018. It's beautiful to see black women willing to support each other. Cry those tears, you shall be cleansed.

[@cheriware7123]

Right!

[@thudthedestroyer515]

How in the wide wide world of sports did I miss this? I will be kicking myself from now on! All of it is in here! The control the range the emotion the building-shaking power in these voices are just mind boggling!

[@MrPaulbenz]

rachelle ...master class

[@TrooperJones]

Tone, Power, Delivery, Execution, Control...

[@LadyTate925]

IN THAT ORDER!!!!!👏👏👏👏

[@beloved3244]

you forgot passion

[@TrooperJones]

[@IAMMOVIN4WARD]

I'm loving this duet!!!

[@RaphaelAshanti]

She sung Jennifer's hat off. LMAO!

[@Zamstein]

Caught that

[@Jhadzia]

This is where the village gathers again. Thank you Rachelle for all the wonderful shows I have seen you in. You are the definition of a Queen! One who is willing to share and protect. Listen to the wisdom Jennifer. May God bless and keep you both. Blessings...

[@smoothness81580]

Lawd lawd! Up inchere! Yessssss! I love me some J. Hud and then she gets to learn from this anointed instrument! Together it is earth shattering and spirit moving! Wooooooooooooo!

[@MikeSmithprofit1]

I'm 34 years old man who grew up on soul music and I seriously love this interaction between the two. Skilled legend bring up a know powerhouse of the modern industry and being humble. Everything about this makes me smile ear to ear!!!

[@moniquep2760]

Finally an artist who doesn't have to try to put others down to make herself shine. This was absolutely beautiful.

[@danifrommidsommar8653]

I've rewatched this three times this week.... Some things just really get me here - the grace and honour with which she welcomes Jennifer to the stage, that little squeaky laugh that's so full of mischief and heart, 'she done sang my hat off', the sheer love, support and respect you feel from their back and forth... That's art on another level. Rachelle is truly the bridge between the cosmic and the intimate.

[@reneebenmeleh8004]

Well if that wasn’t a classic Rachelle Ferrell healing moment for the whole Universe, I dunno what is. Rachelle, you be blessed to the ends of time!

[@2ventin2011]

MS. FERRELL, MS. FERELLE AND ONE MORE TIME, MS. FERELLE. THANK YOU IN YOUR OWN SPECIAL WAY OF SONG, TALKING AND TEACHING MS. HUDSON WHAT A TRUE FRIEND IS ALL ABOUT. LOVE THAT LADY AND INDEED A TRUE TALENT. YES, LEARNING IS LISTENING AND DOING.

[@Aaron16M]

Rachelle Ferrell looks beautiful here!

[@tdhatcher25]

Aaron M yes she does

[@kickmaster2007]

I've had the pleasure of seeing Rachelle three times so far! What a vocal and humanitarian experience!! San Diego loves her!!!!!

[@ikegreen3034]

This is the Musical Conversation of the Millennium! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@phil5301]

I've NEVER seen this. Even tho it's 10 years old. It's NEW to me!!! Two LEGENDS. Rochelle co-sign is GOLD!!!🔥💪🏾

[@SEFYH]

Rachelle's vocal talent renders me speechless and makes me shake my head...

[@65ANDRE]

This is two of todays greatest voices. No more Ella, Aretha, Minnie, or even Whitney. We in good sounds with them.

[@cartwrightanthony5431]

I really don't Know much about Rachelle, but what a voice she has, a truly amazing talent.

[@Ms88keys1]

Rachelle is wonderful! The reason she is not well known is because although she has the voice, she at times looks very unattractive when she sings. Her most amazing song was I can explain! Check it out whenever you get a chance

[@cartwrightanthony5431]

Ms88keys1 Just checked it out, what a song, it had me hooked from the intro, and the vocals well simply second to none, as for the unattractive comment, never did Jagger any harm lol

[@cartwrightanthony5431]

Ms88keys1 Sorry forgot to say thanks for the recommendation.

[@Ms88keys1]

No problem, I'm glad you liked her. This is why I love youtube! Being able to discuss a common interest with a complete stranger. It's helping me break free from shyness or feeling intimidated to talk to a stranger face to face. We , in general, need to stop judging or stereotyping each other and just appreciate that were all unique therefore no one should feel intimidated about initiating a conversation with a complete stranger if you see that you share a common interest.

[@len1975]

She isn't well known because after her first album she would not conform to mainstream, which the record company wanted her to do!

[@laurence2299]

Oh my... I had never seen such a loving and sincere conversation this way on stage !!!

[@mommygrace4u]

Tone. Power. Delivery. Execution. Passion. I love Rachelle. And Jennifer. I love everything about this video. ❤❤

[@lalagonegaga]

Props to Jennifer Hudson for being able to bypass all the ego trips and learn. That's the reason she keeps improving every single year.

[@LJ-focus]

I love me some Rachelle Farrell music... such a beautiful person. I can see her being everyone's Auntie Her music and vocals are one of the best I've heard along with Phyllis Hyman. 💕💜

[@marlae.hutchinson292]

I love how Rachelle Ferrell is pouring into JHUD, this is so beautiful ✨️

[@LG-kx8xl]

Rachelle Ferrell is unbelievable. Her voice, her sounds (Genius & nobody can do it like her), it's an instrument by itself & of course the instruments she actually plays. Her work with George Duke will keep your mouth on the floor!

[@DJMookieJukebox]

This is a whole TESTIMONY/Heartfelt Connection between two Powerhouse singers on Stage!! Wowwww 🤩

[@arvellgreen1]

People always talk about Rachelles voice but it’s that EAR that is crazy phenomenal.

[@higgybaby1]

OMG!! I have a total new respect for Jennifer Hudson now, I see how humble she is when she sings with royalty, and Rachelle, have always loved her. God bless both of these great ladies.

[@JaTaunPratt]

Ugh Rachelle is just Heaven sent and a wonderful soul. You can tell her heart from her music and her passion.

[@mcknightvtm]

Rachelle absolutely took her to school......wonderful singer and mentor. It only goes to show that one does not have to be super popular to being talentedl

[@kelvin88keyes]

OMG! Love them both!! Amazing beyond words!

[@nataliemorris6428]

I'm in tears because this the mentoring that many people need, and it does not matter what line of work your in or how famous you are, we all need that!!

[@evelyn7881]

These are two of the very BEST right here!! This is History right here!! # Virtuosos!!

[@Juleslive2007]

The funny thing is we forget it was just amazing to hear these two voices connect, you don't hear anything like this anywhere so appreciate we were treated with.....I remember Rachelle singing for Patti Labelle and Rachelle was just as humbled....Love is Love.

[@andrewlongworth]

Oh my word, this is just amazing. Jennifer Hudson, you just won me over.

[@annehamilton8190]

Two Giant Talents!!!.......Real Voices, to be heard!!!

[@frankiej.m.254]

I'm just sitting here in tears I've never seen this I've lost quite amount of time I had no idea that this existed. I am sitting here wondering how many vocalists are out there such as I am watching this and was truthfully overcome with an anxiety thinking oh my God there is no way I could have even blown a note correctly standing next to THE MOUTH I cannot compete! 🔥 Imagine being Worthy 👑🥰

[@SalkisRe]

I love her sisterhood grace awww she is so generous with the stage

[@waitonhim777]

Rachelle Ferrell, definitely a honor To be blessed to not only here but to truly love your music. Two Queens . We're blessed people . You have to respect the talent we have the honor to enjoy. 🥰

[@maelotter]

We miss hearing you

[@cowm11]

Jennifer hudson couldn't wait to run off that stage! Lool! Great singers both of them though...

[@ThePrincedrw1]

I would have ran off the stage too... love Rachel Farrell.. but that's a conversation we have in private not on stage in a song

[@vickiewarren2119]

There's something about Jennifer that is like a shield she holds up around her that nobody can break through. She's not like Tasia, who leaves it all on the stage.

[@GarageStudio7]

@@vickiewarren2119 Completely spot on!

[@staceyeberhart1458]

Honor and respect is an amazing combination! Two awesome talents collaborating!!

[@Elevatedmindset8]

Gifted beyond measure and absolutely authentic!!

[@Perfectlace]

I just love these two together.. it’s like big sister embracing her little sister with love and encouragement... the soul and the positive energy they give to each other is so sweet. Sisterhood at its best.

[@smoothness81580]

Listening again, I am so touched by Jennifer's humbleness! She was so reluctant to attempt to match with Rachelle. Oooo but when she did! Ergo the reason I am listening again!

[@thomasdixon2312]

Listening to Rachelle is like being in church. Her voice is so pure and rich, full of layers, Just listening to her sing and speak to Jennifer was like listening to angels on high giving words of wisdom and power. Keep giving your all and doing what you do best. You voice gives honor to the Master.
