FIRST TIME HEARING | Rachelle Ferrell, With Open Arms Live @ the Apollo | REACTION

[@foster6404]

She’s an elite singer, she “sangs” like a church girl and she’s trained, knows how to control her diaphragm and upper muscles. I also want to see who inspires her love songs, somebody did, because she sang from the roots of the ground. And she still sounds like this. ❤❤

[@jebog24]

Rachelle is the 9th wonder of the world. For real!!

[@senznme]

Truth!!!

[@tamiiagrisham6353]

Beyond talented!!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@jacquelinebell6467]

One of the best singers in the world! She is so gifted. Seeing her live is a blessing. She’s So underrated. That entire album from ‘92 is fire to the tenth! 🔥

[@MsMadAboutMusic]

Totally agree with all you said. I've seen her several times and it's definitely a blessing. Still play the album beginning to end!

[@yvonnejones9940]

Same. One of THE sexiest songs ever!😙😙😙😙

[@derekm4819]

One of the best? There is nobody on this planet who can remotely compete with her vocals. NOBODY!

[@senznme]

Yes, she IS!!!!

[@CarrellDickey]

Your Expressions Are Everything Man 😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️😂😂

[@senznme]

I may be biased. But this lady here has the best vocal instrument. I see her every time she has come near me. Her voice is a true gift from God. She can actually sing instruments. She will sometimes introduce her band with her voice. Simply the BEST. She’s so good, I really think the music industry could not box her in. She is a stand alone type of voice ❤

[@avionterria7855]

Her live performances are always different. She can mimic every instrument with her voice. It's amazing!!!

[@senznme]

Yes, I just made that comment. I’m just finding his channel and I was looking for Rachelle and found his reaction.🔥🔥

[@cupcakes7015]

Rachelle is an underatted, gifted vocalist. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥 You know she can sang when she makes her listeners, make an ugly face🤣 11/11/2021

[@lukmantaylor683]

EVERY note, intonation, expression, and mouth contortion has been and is nothing short of a virtuoso performance and a true delight and privilege to witness every single time, whether live or in- studio. She is absolutely captivating and other-wordly , please believe me when I tell you that her albums and performances are worth every penny! They don't make 'em like Sister Rachelle no mo', ppb!💯. Find somebody from the last 30 years who you think can blow - man or woman- and put their best song up against Open Arms. GAME OVER.

[@akii824]

I can't name ONE singer that's singing like this presently. This is true skills. Man, I wish we had music like that now.

[@carlosprimus952]

You have just been treated to a vocal master class!

[@JazzPublicist]

6-octave voice snd she uses each one. Plus she has the ability to hold notes for 20-30 seconds. She is also one of the best Pianists in the Jazz field. One of a kind.

[@derekm4819]

That’s black American greatnesses. A voice and vocal abilities like no others.

[@lanceflx63]

This is what you calling sanging!

[@wadiyahabdur-rahim1558]

Oh My G-d, I thought for a minute Minnie Ripalton was on stage.

[@The524eric]

Rachelle her voice and control is so unbelievable, what a gifted artist

[@MsZenT]

Hey Satori! Rachelle is THE TRUTH! This woman is the epitome of musical Genius. Her whole body is a musical instrument! The way she moves her arms, her facial expressions, her body movements...every movement powers and controls every nuance and inflection in her voice including those incredible whistle notes and tireless, endless runs. INCREDIBLE! Peace...Be and Stay Safe!

[@ericcunningham2455]

SHE IS THE BEST FEMALE VOCALIST EEEEEVEEERRRR,no one can get wit her vocally,her range is impeccable and performance is legendary..but so dangerously underrated!!!!!!!

[@eugeniaboone5602]

The live performances are always better than the recording. You get to hear and see every note, expression and stage presence. Stage presence is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Rosyid2040]

She is the real vocal bible! We miss you, Rachelle!

[@LesleyThompson85]

THEEE Rachelle Ferrell🔥🔥🔥🔥 Her concert sets are legendary. As always, thanks for the reaction. Brings back great memories. Check out another banger of hers, I Can Explain ~ live version. The recorded version is nice, but I didn't fully appreciate the song until I saw her perform it live. She's in a special class of vocalists (i.e. Luther Vandross, Patti LaBelle, Teena Marie, Brian McKnight, Lisa Fischer, etc.) who sound just as good as the recording or better live🙂

[@acquenetta]

My God this lady right here. She's always been a beast to me. I've loved her voice & range for a long while. Good choice

[@thegoddessdinah6078]

I came across this video and had to tell my story. One day my 4 year old son was outside playing and a song came on the radio; he asked me who it was singing. "I don't know" I said to him. I waited until the DJ give the title and the artist. Then I said to him "Michelle Rell, I think." I was stunned that she caught his attention. My son was diagnosed with superior audio when he qas in high school. I later realized that is why he tuned in to Rachelle so avidly when he heard her voice. Well, it was her debut back then and my son is now 34 years old and we are still are #1 fans. I saw her live in 2019 she is still AMAZING!🎶🎵🎼

[@LeoSpiritGenX]

I said it before and I’ll say it again, her whistle range is crazy 😜.Hits them Effortlessly!!! You can tell how she opens her mouth 👄and uses breath control she has been doing this for a long time. You must check out some more jazz from her.

[@AlexisLexLexi]

This woman literally does vocal gymnastics. She is absolutely amazing. Try to find her singing “Nothing in the Middle”. It’s out of this world, IMO.

[@cassandrabartee4999]

Another Rachelle Ferrell Classic, I Can Explain ( Live), It'll Blow Your Mind! ♥️

[@afrolanticanjurisprudence8849]

i love when she rocks her hair naturally later. queen.

[@lucretiaedwards1104]

She said that when she was a little girl, she used to practice with the sound of the train that ran through by her house where she grew up at , and that was how her voice grew stronger and stronger, she said the train began to sound like music to her , I don’t quite understand what she meant by that , but I believe her 🤔🤔🤔

[@annamariahardy-kelley1415]

Please watch all the videos you can of this amazing women …. Her talent is beyond words!!!

[@goldie8303]

Yup. Ms. Ferrell is musically a different breed. This is my first time seeing her not at, or near a keyboard when she performs. Phenomenal .

[@spicyhot2552]

WOW! Rachelle was hitting those notes like it was the norme.lol. Her voice is incredible .

[@feliciacook3716]

Rachelle is The G.O.A.T. of music

[@sharonjarrett8953]

She’s so underrated she has and amazing voice but no one can touch her voice range and style she’s and amazing artist 👏👏 she singing at the Apollo Theater too I bet she won’t get boo’d loll 😂😂

[@Justcallmyname75]

That whistle registry sent me to heaven and back

[@kennydeez..1774]

😲"OH MY GOODNESS!!"..That Gal Can SAANNNG!!.. And That Whistle Note Was 😖FFFFFFF🔥YAAA!!..👏 WOW!

[@upclose22]

Aww, she’s amazing!!! I’ve never seen an artist with that much control of their voice and that many ranges!!! Bravo👏👏👏💕💕💕

[@kevsherril158]

I’m just glad I was born in the 70’s with real music and great singers….Gladys knight/Dionne/Nancy Wilson/EWF….. and others

[@tolicelawrence461]

I'm so glad that you finally reacted to her live performance of this song too. She is so underrated. I've said many times before that her voice is a freak of nature 🤣🤣🤣. WHAT AN AMAZING VOICE !👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤

[@dinibell]

Uh-oh, when you hear those notes at around the 4:53 mark, you know Rachelle’s about to take us to CHUCH! Yes Lawd!

[@dalskyguy]

She’s AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! RIDICULOUS!!!!

[@alishabryant2011]

She is so underrated, such a talent!

[@cmlady0437]

Yesss... Sir 💯 Rachelle Ferrell at the Apollo 😍 Satori.... You finally got a chance to hear and see Rachelle Ferrell perform 'Live' at the Apollo. AMAZING!!! 🔥🔥🔥 I remember seeing this recommended by someone b4 in the comment section .... & to the Special Individual(s) who recommended this video: Thank you! 💜

[@lilliebrown8144]

This right here is the song. Before I even watch your reaction beautiful.

[@valenciathequeen8994]

I had the pleasure of experiencing her in person at the legendary Blue Note jazz club in New York in early 2000’s. It was so amazing to witness.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@marshagreen9759]

I discovered her 3 months ago and was so taken with her, I never heard of her before, amazing is all I can say. She is made out of an heavenly stock.

[@LG-kx8xl]

Rachelle is on top of it!!!! In comparison to many years later, this is almost tame for her. If you want to fall OUT listen to LIVE Rachelle, George Duke, Jonathan Butler at the Jazz Festival w/her singing Waiting!

[@yolandajoiner12]

I can’t believe you are just hearing her beautiful voice, she is the truth she can break glass.

[@lukeemhanton2591]

I’ve been waiting for you to react to this performance so you could be a witness like the rest of us.

[@cjohnsonatl]

She was NO joke!!!

[@gmjnsn1695]

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS !!!!

[@wendyhestick8514]

She is the best!

[@deneepowell7377]

God is so good she is a blessed soul with a beautiful voice and I thank her for it just being a sharing spirit

[@kathleendunton241]

The first time I experienced her was at the Apollo back in the day and it was love at first sound

[@Kenyon712]

She’s tha truth.

[@claudiaminorhall3257]

🔥🔥🔥she’s fire

[@cmlady0437]

On a Side Note: Bigg ups to anyone that happen to remember the gentleman standing on the stage who is introducing -- Ms. Rachelle Ferrell Man... It's been a long time! 🤔 Good memories!!.... From way back when 💜😂😂 Mark Curry from the Tv show called: Hangin' with Mr. Cooper

[@sandramiller6752]

🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶💯💯

[@reshaud81]

We tried to tell you Man. The live version does not disappoint. Check out her 1983 song, My Heart and you will really see and hear her whistle registry. Before Mariah's whistle registry it was Rachelle Ferrell!

[@adamtoronibyrne1086]

So as we can see, she feels the music and expressed her voice with her whole face and body. The fact that she makes those faces is a positive, but guaranteed, this is why she didn’t achieve mainstream success. Unfortunately, this is what happens to a great many talents - Angela Bofill, Phyllis Hyman, Jennifer Holliday…. They give us musical gifts and anyone new to them will remark on how they look whole performing, which is ridiculous. Rachelle is incredible and I only wish we’d have something new from her, as Individuality is now 22 years ago, and while it’s a masterpiece, we miss her! Those like me who love and that appreciate the grace of true musicianship and vocal stylings wait with bated breath.

[@jamomathews9890]

Some sangers you must see live to really appreciate their talent. This girl still blows up my box

[@Mtc0nqr3r]

Great reaction bro. That's how she does it live. I've never seen another artist walk and not loose any volume on their note. One of an kind fo sho. Now you have to do her and Will Downing live.

[@deborahbrown9433]

AWESOME VOICE!!

[@BlackValyria]

Now could you PLEASE do her LIVE duet with Will Downing NOTHING HAS EVER FELT‼️

[@yvonnejones9940]

YES to millionth power!!!!!!

[@MsMadAboutMusic]

Great reaction!! Rachelle is amazing; love her! Been blessed to see her multiple times live! An out of this world experience! Another great song from her debut album is Sentimental, check it out!

[@SkammLykelee]

It's a shame that truly gifted vocalists like Rachelle are relatively unknown while so many lightweights are famous and making the big bucks.

Rachell is one of a kind. Her vocal range is phenomenal. Check out GINO VANNELLI - I Just Wanna Stop (1978)

[@dinibell]

@Elitelady 1954 - my favorites from him were “Valleys of Valhalla” and “Brother to Brother”. I still listen to and enjoy those songs even now, so many years later.
