[@hildat8]

I can’t help but cry when Valerie started to sing. And then that shot of Nick crying in Sydney Poitier’s arms just has me ugly crying. Surely both Valerie and Nick had to know that Nick was ill. It gets to me every time. It’s sad that there does not seem to be an effort to keep that energy alive and productive, but I am glad that God led Oprah to do that.

My third favorite part after Valerie ,with Patti being the most iconic part.

[@godisgood7334]

Yes, when I listened to Chaka saing I said my God, Chaka sounds like an instrument. I didn't know which one, I thought a trumpet, whatever it is, it's beautiful and I never heard her voice in this way until I watched this video.

Patti killed it, but I was most moved by Valerie Simpson's part. I loved what she sung..."For the change, from this day, we won't walk the same. We gone walk taller. We gone think higher. We gone be better." I just loved that so much. It moved me immensely, and plus, Ms. Simpson has an incredibly fine and powerful voice. No one mentions her here and I think she very much so deserves to be.

[@CaribbeanAtheist1978]

Valerie Simpson was testifying as well.

Why would there be nudity in a situation like this? If this was a strip club, that would make sense. But it isn’t, so why bring it up? Comments like this harsh the buzz. It’s why people leave the church. Obsessing about respectability instead looking at someone’s heart and humanity.
