• Faith Evans The First ...

[@charkitahood2532]

I can’t count the amount of times I’ve watched this performance. Faith’s voice has seasoned sooo well. She’s so underrated

[@cocoaming]

A nice Smokey brisket 😩

[@dalewilson2034]

💯

[@MillSteph]

She ate this up BAD! One of my favorite vocal performances period!

[@mfmondragon]

This is one of Faith's best live performances. Her voice was on point and well rehearsed.

[@motownmommy]

Karen Clark Sheard is one of her vocals heroes. I don't know if yall have heard the duet with Karen on Karen's first solo project. ❤

[@SirTrell]

Thanks for the reminder, because I often forget about the "studio" part of that album. Let me go listen...

[@SaraSmile70]

The Vocal Acrobatics done effortlessly! Faith is not to be played with!🙌

[@tandrahill302]

Her word pronunciation is off the chain, she's one of my favorites for that. That church background gives way to that emotional factor in her singing. I love her!!

[@eb8532]

Please keep talking about FAITH! Her voice is undeniable……

[@reallyitsjackiev.meadows7578]

This was one of her best performances....her sound check was on point.

[@ObservingtheMatrix]

Someone said it recently but R&B just hasn't been the same since we took the church out of it! We have a few girls still, but the color and character you learn from church singing produced gems like Faith! Her voice cuts through so many we hear today because its so unique and anointed.

[@staceycheatom4427]

It's true. Most of the singers from back in the day came from the church, sang in the choir. When people stopped going to church, you saw the talent dwindle.

[@mch-aka007]

Absolutely agree! Growing up singing in church gives the voice depth, range, color, character, & emotion. Some argue this, but I also think if done PROPERLY, it gives us a strength and longevity to sing without getting tired so fast.

[@bigd7386]

She sounded ahhhhhmazing here.. but that bridge!!! SHE KILLED IT!!! And lets not forget how she murdered on the Masked Singer. Even with a huskier and and raspier sound. I'll admit, while I loved her music and her unique voice back in the day, I think I slept on her vocally because I just hadn't seen much of her live. But this performance opened my eyes FULLY and then to see how she bodied TMS. Sheesh!

[@OreoBoomtown]

Loved her “Midnight Train to Georgia” ❤❤❤

[@jamiengaddis8416]

I love Faith Evans voice. She can go from a whisper to a growl in seconds. So underrated.

[@missy567ful]

Her sound goes with the music. Sometimes it's not about big crazy notes. The emotion, technical ability brought the beauty to those records. She's unmatched.

[@inspiretotravel777]

Her first album is a CLASSIC, top to bottom! She's one of my faves for sure! Love me some Faith 🤍

[@chenemc8953]

This analysis was 🎯💪🏿 Definetly agree with the Karen C-S. comparison. I'm so happy to see Faye Faye getting her flowers 💐💕

[@rogerssombe7369]

Faith is def R&B Karen...yea

[@kdperry591]

Faith is so underrated! She's always been such a unique gift. #BrickCityBeast

[@lwalker9378]

Yes! Please do the rest of her set. She's the best there is in r&b right now. Her voice is so genuine.

[@jayw.1042]

I lost faith but she is NOT the best in rnb right now llol

[@dsspace1260]

I feel robbed

[@lexgraham2118]

​@@jayw.1042THANK YOU.

[@blank-pi9cc]

@@jayw.1042 give us names please. Who is the best in SINGING? Not this crap we hear on the radio these days!!

[@artisticspirit779]

Not the best but definently top 10. Im not sure whos the best but shes definently top 10

[@LOVE92031]

Faith's voice is so clear and her runs are precisely soulful. Now, THIS is good sangin'.

[@renaissancewoman100]

Probably one of the last few artists that grew up singing in church

[@jaydenwhite2615]

We still got jazmine Sullivan

[@WordWoman111]

Facts. Such a tragedy

[@kp5008]

Durand Bernarr grew up in church and you find his old videos AlcoholHarmony crazy church songs on there better than most

[@lilsouth01]

Not true

[@CDawg]

The first time my ears perked up to the Karen Clark-Sheard influence in her voice was on "Kissing You" from the _Waiting to Exhale Soundtrack._

[@terencewilliams7509]

Faith Evans is a true talent and a gem. She needs more than her flowers, she needs to have as many accolades as MJB or even more. She is so underrated and so populous at the same time. She will stay relevant!!! I hope she is blessed with more Grammys from The Recording Academy 🙏🏽 💓 ✨️.

[@lexgraham2118]

NOT ON THE BEST DAY OF HER LIFE, RESPECTFULLY. SHE'S MORE TALENTED VOCALLY THAN MARY. AND A DECENT WRITER, BUT THERE ARE LEVELS. MARY IS A STAR. THERE'S TANGIBLES AND INTANGIBLES. FAITH HAS LOOKED UNCOMFORTABLE AND AWKWARD ON STAGE FOR OVER 25 YRS. SHE DOESN'T COMMAND AND LACKS PRESENCE. SHE STRUGGLED WITH HER WEIGHT AND NEVER OWNED IT. ALL THESE THINGS PLUS MORE WILL NEVER ALLOW HER TO BE ON THE LEVEL OF SOMEONE LIKE MJB, RESPECTFULLY.

[@maryfans-xf2hb]

@@lexgraham2118 Faith will never ever be better than Mary vocally dummy. Mary is a real singer that can sing ANY genre. Faith voice is very basic. You can go to any local church and hear someone singing like Faith.

[@maryfans-xf2hb]

@@lexgraham2118 Just because someone has a high pitch voice doesn’t make them a better vocalist goofy. Faith can’t do half the things Mary can vocally.

[@lexgraham2118]

@@maryfans-xf2hb LOL AND IM SURE SHE WOULDN'T WANT TO. U THOUGHT U SAID SOMETHING. U CAN LOVE SOMEBODY AND STILL TELL THE TEUTH ABOUT THEM.

[@maryfans-xf2hb]

@@lexgraham2118 She tries and can’t. Nobody ever said faith inspired them to sing. But tons of singers have said it about the Queen.

[@mashanti_worldwide]

Your initial reaction in the first few seconds? I co-sign 🤣🤣🤣. Her vocals and vocal arrangements are something special

[@cmtown93]

Karen Clark Sheard, JR! She definitely studied all of the Clarks.. her production and arrangements are RnB Clark Sisters' music.

[@cmtown93]

Also, I do need a reaction to her and Carl Thomas at the least.. because ... HE SANG!!!!

[@leonardjackson1573]

You nailed it. I've always said Faith Evans is an R&B Karen Clark-Sheard. She studied The Clatk Sisters down. In particularly, Karen to be exact.

[@KhaoticKim]

You can feel her singing from her gut. Her voice is full and resonate, and then it can be so soft and still clear!

[@staceycheatom4427]

IMO Faith has always had the VOICE and she still sounds AMAZING. Faith is my favorite r&b singer from the 90s! Way too underrated...

[@shonairheard3143]

That was a great analysis! I've always said she reminds me of Karen Clark Sheard. I'd love to hear more from this performance!

[@Millennial_Matriarch]

Anddd she looked damn good while sanging her face off!

[@cchisolm92cc]

My heart just melted when she went "Baabyy If yah give meee". That woman's voice is like a hot honey buttah biscuit from Ms. Pearl's house.

[@DivoDOntae]

I started shouting!!!

[@Learningisfree808]

I almost threw my shoe at Faith when I watched this. 👞 she did that !

[@RiRiTheGr8test]

I have been listening to this on repeat since 2018. It never gets old! So much control and power . She definitely knows how to use and manipulate her voice and sound. Love me some Faith!

[@ajareid8122]

Please do the ENTIRE performance!!!!

[@prettypractical3372]

Agreed

[@dawnbecerra7670]

Pleeeeeease review the rest of the video. I know it's long, but it's sooooo worth it! I was in the audience for this Soul Train Awards, and it was probably the best "concert" I've ever attended. AND...when you're through with Faith, PLEASE go on to Erykah Badu's performance!!! Floored me. 💖💖

[@kclorenz8037]

Please finish it don't care about how many parts. Love Faith's performance

[@Blondiebaldgirl]

Yea in an interview she said KCS is a major influence in her singing and they also did a song together also

[@carriesmith7843]

So glad to see you cover such a great performance! This performance always makes me do the ugly face!😂😂

[@len1975]

Yes do her whole entire performance, so that I can get my whole entire life!!!

[@cthomas2639]

Yes PLEASE do the rest of this performance. I've been waiting for over two years for this one. Please do Badu's performance from the same evening as well because Adam went in on the arrangements for both of them.

[@jenniferjenkins9155]

The harmonies on that background=🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Same_ol_jee]

About to watch this for the 100th now because of this video lol she killed this entire performance.

[@km6509]

I've been waiting for someone to react to this for years! So overlooked!

[@jaidataylor3671]

I looove your analysis Jaron! I studied her first album like a book. If anyone out there wants to be a singer, you gotta eat sleep and breathe that album!!! Also love that she had her daughter as her backup singer ❤

[@DALAINC]

I love how you articulate and show how it sung! Thank you I’m listening and using it 🙏🏼

[@gozaness]

I love that you are all the way vibing. Lol!

[@lisapeytonmcneill256]
