Sade was by far, I mean no comparison, the best singer I ever saw live. You could feel the music in your stomach. There were grown men crying next to me. She was absolutely breathtaking.

[@sebasdebordeaux8347]

[@philhenderson3516]

@@christianWilliams-pc4jn OMG can we please stop with these silly comparisons. Sade and Whitney are in two different lanes. Many many others than can keep up with Whitney and match her note to note. Lisa Fischer, Rachelle Ferrell, Phyllis Hyman, Wendy Moten, etc. etc. etc. Will I bring them up in a Whitney video, NO, because they all have their own, unique singing style. Whitney possessed an unrivaled tone, but Sade has a very beautiful one too. Let's appreciate them for what they had to offer and the fact that, sadly, talents like them will never be promoted in the business again.

[@philhenderson3516]

@@christianWilliams-pc4jn But why do you feel the need to say that Whitney was better in a Sade video? Yes, Whitney had an undeniable gift, but you can't say she was better than everyone and everything. Whitney wouldn't be able to do a Sade song as good as Sade, nor can Sade do a Whitney song as good as Whitney. Like I said, two different lanes and both of them represent the very best on their respective genres. Let me also remind you that when Whitney came out, people weren't necessarily fond of her. They didn't see her as refined a gem as let's say, Aretha, Donna Summer or Shirley Bassey, to give out a few examples. Overtime, her voice matured and people embraced her talent and then IWALY came along and catapulted her status. But it wasn't always smooth road for her.

[@philhenderson3516]

@@christianWilliams-pc4jn Sade did not a have a Clive Davis or a Mottola on her side to invest millions in marketing and image. Her band grew up mostly organically. So while 60 million may not seem like much (next to 200 million), it's still a very impressive, almost unobtainable figure for a non-mainstream artist. And yes, while I agree that she's not necessarily the best of the best live, I'm totally fine with any fan saying she's the best, because, to them, she is the best. And hey, I'd rather have someone say Sade is the best singer ever than mentioning Ariana Grande, Adele, JHud, Adam Lambert or any of the newfangled "singers" for that matter. Sade was/is very very talented, and I'd take her over anything these days!

Lovers Live is better

[@tonisambioja9693]

This woman is from another planet. What an energy, what an emotion. Just WOW. This performance hits so deep, I got no words. Sade, you’re a walking masterpiece. Thank you. ❤

[@zoeletlive]

She sounds incredible live. I feel like many artists don't sound the same on stage. Pure talent. Wow.

I luvs me some Macy Gray, but in line with your comment, you should listen to that live version and that's how u can tell someone who's masterful with their instrument & someone's who's getting to know it.

5:20 , please take some time out of your day and just appreciate the raw beauty of Sade’s vocals followed by that amazing trumpet solo.

[@rjh1048]

Clearly the epitome of passion, love, and love making. This woman's talent will put anyone in the mood. Incredible voice, incredible talent behind her. These guys put it on the line and if you know music...you know these guys love what they do and they get paid well. Sade is on a different level when it comes to making you want someone. Her music is just beautiful,...her too.

You can definitely hear that English soul in her.. 😐🤦🏿

[@jjmdirector]

Omfg her shape! Her sound. Perfection

[@shellzmoe8966]

When she came on the scene she was totally different than anyone out at that time, her voice was sultry and the music was so relaxed and chill. Looking at this video now in 2020 it's clear that I never realized the "barefoot jazz lady" was actually mesmeriizingly beautiful, just flawless... her face, her body, her voice, just WOW!

[@Dino-su2wh]

different? no. not like Queen Tina Turner

Yesss

[@timothyhardy6417]

Still look the same

[@Letkikiexplainit]

@@Dino-su2wh They aren't even in the same category lol.. we know Tina is a Queen, but she did Funk and Rock.. Sade is Jazz. She was different, everyone was either singing ballads or rapping. She gave a new approach to the sound of jazz.

For a while sade was seen as synonymous with eighties, but her music has aged so well and sounds timeless, she is so great, classy, and soulful, and the band are fantastic as are the songs. Lovers rock is a smouldering masterpiece

[@ShellieSager]

Saw her only once in the late 80s. Her voice live, her awesome band.... best show I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen many greats. She’s mesmerizing.
