This was definitely her best performance she’s ever sang. She sounded very controlled, was on pitch, and was supporting her voice nicely.

[@MalikRashod]

Let us not forget even Whitney Houston and Patti Labelle have approved Tamar’s vocals. She truly doesn’t get the credit she deserves, and if anyone has listened to her album “Calling All Lovers” you know exactly what I mean!🙌🏾

[@nikkis5592]

Her best album!

[@MalikRashod]

@@nikkis5592 Absolutely, her best work to date!

[@tiffanypayne6743]

Yessss!

[@blackqueen5201]

Yaaaaaaas

[@kassandrarivera6500]

Aretha and mariah and chaka as well

[@devindraa_vvs]

This is one of Tamar’s best performances, she ate

[@Melissa19f]

Soprano saxophone embodied in a human body. Love her voice 🥰

[@Keiwon.X.Lambert]

I think all female artist should record while pregnant because they be SANGING with them baby bumps And the GLOWS! also, I think Tamar has a sense of natural classical ‘technique’ with that vibrato and on some of her phrasing. I like to coin it “classical gospel” or “classical soul” ❤️

[@fantasy2290]

yesss its like the babies give them an extra “oomff” their vocals are at their best when pregnant its soo weird

[@facethebass]

​@@fantasy2290it's not really weird to be honest, when pregnant it's like women's bodies become a little stronger in certain parts to protect the babe. Also they can't drink, or be around smoke or do anything that put their voices in harm so the integrity of the voice remains.

[@vaniamickelle]

This is hands down one of my favorite live performances ever. She killed this, pregnant and all!

[@bishelia7003]

Tamar is the truth! I enjoy listening to you explain it in detail.

[@jmlegrairstudio]

Thank you!

[@tahjsuer46]

You can tell she’s extremely comfortable in her upper register! She has that natural autotune!

[@Aliasss]

It still amazes me every time I listen to this performance.

[@marianothomas6828]

I think she was pregnant here which makes this even more incredible!

[@MalikRashod]

Yup, she definitely was pregnant with her son Logan here!

[@ParentalDiscretionIsAdvised]

Pregnancy is when a singer can be at her VERY BEST....primarily due to them having "more to hold on too"!

[@blessedandfavored9242]

Not only that but she wasn’t drinking during her pregnancy or smoking

[@MalikRashod]

@@blessedandfavored9242 how you know? You was there with her🤣🤣

[@blessedandfavored9242]

@@MalikRashod I meant she wasn’t drinking or smoking during her pregnancy. And actually, I know folks who do know her and knew her during the time of this pregnancy.

[@Mongo76]

Even Toni said Tamar's voice is even better than hers. She got some pipes.

[@OfficialDeftprince]

Hmmm noooooo not even 😂😂😂

[@jaeraee3437]

It isn't. Very different and tones... Two different soulful singers. They both are my too singers ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@perfectly_imperfect7972]

Tamar has tremendous voice control 💯

[@Qu33n]

There were sooo many parts of her singing this song that just made my ears twitch! She sang it beautifully and very impressively.

[@AFOS94]

Tamar doesn’t get enough credit to me. She be singin the house down. Loved this video 💕

[@barbarathornton8813]

I feel the same. The girl is bad

[@ParentalDiscretionIsAdvised]

Even she has YET to create her "magnum opus" or her BEST body of work! Her albums are amazing, dont get me wrong, but HER best is still yet to come!

[@len1975]

She definitely has more in her. She need superb writers and producers behind her

[@CameroTV]

Definitely one of her top two best performances. I watched this live and we were all at home like….wow. Definitely the biggest Braxton voice.

[@Eastpointe]

I’ve gained added vocabulary watching these videos!🤣🛑🙌🏽 Ohhh Tamar, such a beautiful melodic vocalist. I love how she adds texture to her notes and not screaming with typical gospel riffs!

[@jmlegrairstudio]

I love all this! 🙌🏾❤️😂

[@LuxLife24]

Right ...Crycoid lol

[@christiandixon3221]

One of my favorite teachers period!! Thank you for informing me on almost everything about singing. And put some respect on Ms. Braxton’s name 👏🏾 Tamar has been that girl💯

[@jmlegrairstudio]

🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️

[@MrObryantJ]

She did that! Pregnant and all 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@jmlegrairstudio]

WHEW.

[@WhitmoreReads]

I wish someone would write some beautiful ballads for an entire album. She deserves to be standing with a lot of the great singers. ❤️❤️❤️👑

[@NickiLilBro1]

i gagged when i 1st saw this middle school! i’m 25 now & am still floored. she did this pregnant!!

[@kamrynlake16]

That ending gave me CHILLS!! Amazing video as always!

[@francisjenkins1994]

THIS IS THE BEST BREAKDOWN OF THE SCIENCE OF HOW SHE DID THIS SONG.... IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME FOR ME ,,,,,,,SHE STAMPED IT

[@jmlegrairstudio]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@Jor-Day-Nah]

This is one of my all-time fave performances, period. Absolutely flawless.

[@sarahsmiles7384]

Tamar and Keke Wyatt when I tell ya. This is my Mother’s favorite song. For some reason this song makes me emotional.

[@JavaughnL]

The fact that she did all of this while pregnant makes it even better

[@jacobTheeCreole]

She’s amazing! She was seven months pregnant here ! The baby had the lower register so sweet

[@BrooklynFlyGuy]

the fact that she was Eight months pregnant and singing that high lol this performance floors me

[@loriblunt2144]

God bless you, Brother Jaron...Tamar can really sing great vocals and her technique is very different from other singers...

[@rosiejaxon2534]

Tamar was amazing in this performance! The Girl is Bad, she gives Toni a run for her money for sure🥴. You My Friend are even more amazing with your analysis! Man you are a Beast at this, so Anointed you are🙏🏽. God bless

[@jwalt8019]

She definitely has more range than Toni but Toni has a very unique sound which I love.

[@blackqueen5201]

Even Toni says Tamar is the better singer

[@rashadhaughton22]

You're opinion...yes, but Toni is the blueprint.

[@violetsrayreikishop2]

Toni is unique they all are Tony is the blueprint for Tamar don't forget that part

[@Gorgeousbaebeauty]

Her voice is so unique love her

[@DesiderataVio]

She has a beautiful voice.

[@gabrielevans7800]

Thank you for doing this! She SANG DOWN on this! One of the most unique version of this I’ve ever heard.

[@jslack8973]

LeGrair you just hit those notes so effortlessly but that’s why you are who you are

[@marjorietillman6697]

She’s definitely sanging, she passed over singing. And I know those who study our singing, will be trying to do those changes!! I’m not hating on them, but just give credit where credit is due. Amen!

[@lenroybrown3348]

Could you please do Le'Andria's version of "Be Grateful" so we can understand the difference in their approach to the same song... That would be great

[@Anfani]

Leandria ATE

[@sugarbabyesquire107]

I like this idea of comparing different vocals on the same song

[@THEE.apples]

The biggest difference is Leandria sings with more weight and power.

[@Official.tadiwa]

@@THEE.apples not power. Sounds like there is more power but its just her timbre. Lighter voices don't sound as weight as thicker voices doesn't mean thicker voices are more powerful.

[@travisdacus]

@@Anfani that's always 👍🏻

[@carter6forlife]

Tamar killed it ✨✨✨💐

[@bryannarossse]

YES YES YES!!!! She goes awf in this! Always love hearing your very insightful thoughts on these amazing vocalists. Sending you peace and love 💕✨

[@blackqueen5201]

Listen to her song free falling or circles the whole album really

[@rashadhaughton22]

Right cause her singing her own songs don't sound like this live... She be doing too much much & this is perfect.

[@Russell-ji2fl]

@@rashadhaughton22 Im just new to the Braxtons n observing groups so I'm new but I heard her singing once or twice in the pass

[@seasonedsofisticate1901]

Out of all the Braxton sisters, I think Trina has a very nice quality voice. I really wish she would sing more. I think Tamar frequently sounds better when she’s playing around but she can sing too.

[@Timothylloydblues]

I would love assessment of my voice and music by you

[@delaw2xoxo269]

Yeah I think she just played with the chords of the song and added to it!
