Stephanie Mills with Shanice Williams Sing Home 2015

Here's the incredible STEPHANIE MILLS with Shanice Williams singing HOME from the Wiz. Stephanie is a master!

[@lriley7017]

Watching this brought tears. Shanice has an amazing voice but Stephanie Mills is Queen. I noticed after Stephanie sung and Shanice observed she brought that ending from her gut like Auntie demonstrated looooved it!!!!!

[@cherylking8627]

Love Stephanie. She sounds exactly the same in her concerts

[@karimmalone9110]

I like how at the end Stephanie let her finish the song and pointed at her. She let the young rookie get her shine. Great job by Shanice, Outstanding by Stephanie

[@Frostgrl681]

But that is who we are, and that is what do, or used to do. Our family members always did that. They would always showcase us dancing, and singing. Seeing them made me miss the way we used to be.

[@MindfulMatters734]

@j w Lmao! I have both (I'm late to work but that's another story) and never been called resembling a man or even just ugly for that matter. Also what tone you reading in. You can't read a joke when you see one?

[@Handle2point0]

You can tell that Shanice is classically trained. Shes great, but Stephanie's voice comes from the heart and soul. She moves an audience.

[@comeagyn]

Classically trained? Breathing into her chest and breathing multiple times in the middle of phrases no diss but that's not indicative of Classically trained singers. She's very Broadway tho. And it works for her. Her version is nice for her. No diss And no comparisons.

[@mannail888]

The fifty-eight old Mills preserved her vocal instrument way better than Streisand and Franklin did when they hit that age.

[@thealanliddellshow3885]

mannail888 Amen.

[@andresuston7692]

mannail888 this is how I imagined WH would have preserved her voice and been still Wowing audiences at this age. Aw man she woulda been something at this age strutting around in gowns still laying em out.

[@ursulas9906]

WH put too much strain and overuse of her vocals. Her team should have been there for her, making sure her vocals were nutured and taken care of. No difference then if you are a hair stylist maintaining your clients hair.

[@samuelking9497]

Actually, Streisand voice is actually technically better than Stephanie

[@mannail888]

@@samuelking9497 No two ways about that. But Streisand's voice didn't age as well as Mills' did.

[@titan2010cafe]

Shanice was really good, but Stephanie Mills is a true pro. She sung that like it was just a walk in the park on a nice summer day.

[@Rosannasfriend]

She's been singing it longer though, but yes she handles it better.

[@MaskedMan66]

+Rosannasfriend They're both brilliant.

[@MaskedMan66]

+Nishan King And considering this was Shanice's first job, it's phenomenal how well she did. Absolutely phenomenal.

[@manuelorozco7760]

Stephanie may be old school but with this video and her performance as Auntie Em, she proved her voice can still get the job done.

[@karimmalone9110]

Nishan King Exactly, you can tell the difference between legendary vocal skills and a beginner

[@rebeccadavila6603]

no one can sing Home like Ms.Stephanie Mills,makes me cry every time I hear her sing it.love the one and only one that sang this song.

[@briafx]

Rebecca Davila I agree!! If I was in Shaniece’s place I wouldn’t have been able to sing the song after Stephanie sang her part!!!

[@mikegotlikes3924]

[@she45namify]

my exact thoughts

[@musicjunkie7549]

Yes Diana did a lovely rendition of this song and I love the Diva, However Stephanie Mills made you want to go back home and put soul into the song..

[@SamuraiPanda201]

That point at 2:53 is everything. There's so many aunts in my life with music in their blood, who just encouraged us to sing the shit out of everything. I know that point. "Sing it, kid. Kill it." And boy does she. They both sound amazing.

[@manuelorozco7760]

It was pretty amazing for Stephanie to be Shanice's Aunt Em and pass the mantle (or in this case the silver slippers) to her last year.

[@beautybyblaze686]

David Armstrong you know how many times I've rewound this just to see that point! And the fire in Stephanie's eyes when Shanice goes for it! I love it!!

[@amandaramos4322]

This video was in some of my dreams

[@NnamdiAzikiwe_keyamsha]

For some reason Shanice seems to "feel" this version more than The Wiz live. Of course, MY BABY Stephanie shows what happens when you sing a song since you have been 15 years old. Every phrase has meaning and it shows.

[@brianbutler-lopez952]

Nobody will ever be able to sing" Home " like Stephanie Mills

[@MaskedMan66]

+Brian Butler No, but they aren't required to; a good song like that can have many interpretations. Diana Ross nailed it wonderfully too, just like Shanice.

[@brianbutler-lopez952]

+MaskedMan66 You are right,Diana did a great job,as well as Shanice but neither one of them can touch Stephanie Mills,I saw the Wiz on Broadway many years ago and when Stephanie does the finale of Home, it is so powerful, Standing Ovation for the entire song

[@MaskedMan66]

+Brian Butler Shanice will be playing Dorothy on B'way soon, and I have no doubt she'll be getting standing ovations as well. Stephanie loves her and was knocked out by her performance.

[@honeegrrl]

Brian Butler Yea we know this but she's not Stephanie, she's Shanice. Stephanie is giving her her props, why can't you?

I got chills and tears when Stephanie Mills came on as Aunt Em. I had seen her as Dorothy when she was on Broadway when I was a teen. I have been a huge fan of hers since then. I had no idea that she was going to be making a special appearance in this production which was great. Loved this video! It felt as if the Original Queen of the Yellow Brick Road was passing down the slippers with pride to the Princess of the Yellow Brick Road. Congrats Shanice!

[@justschr]

Stephanie treated singing this song with Shanice like a true diva should... Showing off her vocal talents without completely hogging the spotlight... This song will always be hers but it was incredibly heartwarming to see her pass it on to someone else in TRUE diva style...
