YEBBA-My Mind || Sofar New York || "REACTION"

[@kracine9582]

What gets me about Yebba is that she can just weep and weep and weep within her singing! She is incredible!

[@elondamusichead]

k Racine Yes ! I totally agree it's ridiculous

[@tanyawillis6151]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

[@musicandgodsgracearelife]

Yesssss. So true!!

[@lettherebmusic4249]

I've seen a million reaction videos..this is the first of yours I've seen and you're the one for me!

[@ianwilliams2387]

My mind my mind. To far out man

[@fedup9073]

The only thing I don't understand about this performance is why no one stormed the stage. I have listened to this a number of times and every time I just want to hurl myself through the monitor and just give her this enormous hug.

[@pluevo8277]

They asked the audience to keep quiet because they were recording the performance. Hmmm. I would have been crying anyway

[@rebekahfernandes7991]

Am I the only one who stops breathing everytime I hear her sing this song. Literally have to remember to breathe again ❤️❤️❤️

[@22coconut]

NOOO, YOU ARE NOT ‼️

[@koridevereaux]

I’ve been listening almost every month for the past 2-3 years, I forget to breathe constantly lmao

[@katrineheke0736]

I'm having an anxiety attack as I'm reading your message because I stop breathing watching her all the time

[@yadidv7203]

Not the only one... She makes me cry every time, it's like the 12th time I played it, and still want to play it again... She's so broken, I can feel it, it's me singing 😭😭

[@CenturySAM-vb2kt]

For a straight week I have been binge watching yebba reaction videos and this is one of my favorites lol I can't get enough of listening to her and seeing genuine reactions appreciating such an incredible performance. Take care 😊

[@wendy___777]

CenturySAM 1987 Wait, this could last a week after you hear Yebba sing after the first time???

[@musicandgodsgracearelife]

One of my faves too. :)

[@besties6427]

[@superkay4421]

[@lytelime8104]

Lol...its been 4 days so far for me

[@MorgueOfficialMusic]

I'm a 30 year old guy, and I can't watch this performance without crying.

[@polythenepam6461]

YEBBA is a Queen. I've listened to this song no less than 300 times and it still gives me chills

[@musicandgodsgracearelife]

Same

[@rhonda4333]

I'm up to 500. I need a daily fix.

[@smiler5134]

She needs to calab with Jasmine Sullivan ...I WOULD LOSE IT AND BUY EVER ALBUM THEY HAVE

[@titij7733]

This is a hurt woman ugh she just reaches in and pulls out the feeling I tried to hide deep inside

[@oregonchick76]

I always feel a little embarrassed with this video, like I'm seeing her naked soul and feeling her anguish so personally that I'm intruding. It's just so authentic, the anger and despair are absolutely real, but then the beauty of her voice and the caliber of her performance is pretty much mind-boggling.

[@cookiec1803]

How could the audience just sit there???? I can't take it... That was spectacular!!

[@sonyaharris2401]

Ikr?!? They make such!!!

[@KRoseB]

All wrapped up in their feels

[@xjjtvx2533]

Apparently they were asked to stay silent during the performance for the recording :)

[@katrineheke0736]

Did u see them? U know they can't see. So they didn't see the emotion 😕 🤔 lol it's a joke

[@desiraevang]

I love when people react to YEBBA she’s phenomenal🙌🏻

[@elondamusichead]

Desirae Vang yes she is girl!!

[@klove69flava]

This my 3rd reaction video in 20 mins

[@JTTeProductions]

I can feel her heart in this song!

[@elondamusichead]

[@arthurstarks4878]

I agree

[@heavenwithin81]

Aggghhhhh I feel so blessed when people find these types of voices!

[@OneEphraimite]

EMOTIONS BEING PROJECTED WHERE YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO FEEL IT.

[@elondamusichead]

Exactly .. well said!

[@Kiyaa930]

Felt this in my soul wtf

[@elondamusichead]

Kiyaa Stroman for real!!! Like whhatttttt

[@sunshineloveyasharal4768]

You BETTA say dat ! 🗣️🗣️🗣️😩

[@monicamorgan272]

I just discovered this tonight. 😭

[@tytmoothare]

I dont know you. But i like you. Cried to Yebbas voice and passion and felt i was in company with you.

[@kaaaykaaay93]

Your reaction is the realest, most genuine, and the closest to mine I've seen on KZbin. Her RAW EMOTION in her voice when she sang EACH and EVERY WORD. UGH stank face every time I watch her video. And I get why we connect too, we both sing and can recognize what it takes to execute what she just did. Every single run and trick doesn't need an over the top reaction, scream or 😱. You let the runs marinate lol and you feel them with with a nod or slight movement with your neck. 🎶Does anybody know what I'm talking about🎶 👐🏾👐🏾

[@beatsteak22]

Yebba is Abbey backwards 💖

[@andreacollins3204]

This has been watched by me at least 150 times. It’s my song I sleep and meditate to. Her mother committed suicide a year before so it was so emotional.

[@elondamusichead]

andrea collins oh wow ! I didn't know that her mother did that .. that makes sense why she's so passionate and soulful .. I've never had so much goosebumps happen whip listening to music in my life until I heard this !

[@andreacollins3204]

Elonda Vibez I keep watching this and rewatching ever chance I get!!! She has a way of breaking your heart but making you feel safe also

[@musicandgodsgracearelife]

It was actually a week after she performed this song that her mom committed suicide. She has another song called 'Evergreen' that she wrote in honor of her mom.

[@transcendingbutterfly1132]

A week after she performed this song her mother committed suicide that is why this song was so raw! She is AMAZING!!!

[@changenow-th7gy]

Omg!

[@song4night]

I think decades of rock, metal, soul, jazz...they have not come this close to the expression of the hurt human heart.

[@mariuscarlia5921]

It's so hard not to notice how skillfully YEBBA was able to take real cries and sobs and elevate them into music. That's poetry.

[@thehoop74]

There is nobody alive that can sing like her!!!!!! She has the best voice of all time!

[@dobrydendavid]

My absolute favorite reaction to this video. Yebba is the best vocalist of her generation, hands down. There is no one even close. Watching her is a religious experience.

[@nay8059]

Girl I had the same reaction I had tears in my eyes seeing this for the first time . Amazing voice .

[@elondamusichead]

Yes !!!! She's so gifted!!!

[@drikashavers9458]

I watched this video a week ago for the first time and babbbbbby when i say she gave me my life for old and new... i fell in love with her instantly! Its rare that we are blessed to hear artists that bare it all! She allowed us to see her completely naked. And vulnerability in an artist brings out a side of them that is amazing. She is the next big star we fall in love with. *sighs* im going to new york just so i can witness her perform in person. She had me in tears for real!

[@futureprimitivesoap]

Every single time you got the feels at the exact same point in the song as I did. Isn't she just incredible! Great reaction. Loved it xxx

[@elondamusichead]

FuturePrimitive Soap Company haha ! That's funny .. yea she's crazy good !!

[@lankosidesigns1625]

Yebba is a talented and humble soul, we are blessed to be alive during her era and witnessing her beautiful alent, i am inlove this woman is phenomenal.

[@byzinski]

After 50 years of listening to all genres of music I would put this LIVE (only a guitar accompanying) performance by this lady up against any other LIVE performance (with only a musical instrument accompanying) of any singers. DOPE, SICK, DA BOMB G.O.A.T. Yebba States her influences were Aretha Franklin 🙌🏽 and The Clark Sisters🙌🏽 and Afro-American Gospel Music. She just won a Grammy (2019) with P J Morton for ‘How Deep is Your Love’ . Check out ‘Evergreen’ (video Beats 1) where Yebba sings an original song in memory of her mother who committed suicide 5 days after the performance above (2016). She sings it in a church with a full accompanying Church Choir 🙏🏽

[@avionterria7855]

Yes!!! This deserves a Grammy!!!

[@MsMere78]

The polite, calm, composed audience always gets me. Don’t they know they are witnessing music history here!?!?!

[@PAPIOSHUN]

I can never listen to this and not cry 😢 she is completely amazing 🔥

[@xavyrocks21]

I heard you mimic her run with ease and I never hit subscribe so fast lol

[@elondamusichead]

Lmaooo!!! Thank you so much I appreciate the loveeeee

[@lindasalter1017]

I cry everytime I here this song. It's very emotional and heartfelt.

[@659elcid]

All her voice aside she was brilliant in all that but the runs her vibrator crazy mad the pain she passes on in the way she expresses her story is wow mind blowing!

[@reenie85churchin]

TO THIS DAY I FEEL EVERY SLICE IN HER SOUL....🤦🏾‍♀️😩 BEEN THERE...WHEWWWW CHILE

[@lxhobson]

Atn many places in this song, she appears to be either on the verge of tears or actually wailing in pain. I think that's why so many of us are moved by this song of betrayal by someone who's supposed to love you. And, also, you have to be able to empathize/sympathize .... and I've seen lots of people while watching reactions to this performance who were shedding tears and struggling to maintain their emotions. That is actually a good thing, as it shows we are good people who care about others.

[@hillarypearce4905]

My reaction was EXACTLY the same. I got chills, cried...felt like I needed to pray. I have rarely seen someone sing with that much emotion. Aside from the cheating the song is about, her emotions and her deep hurt carries though the actual words and speaks to the part of my soul that has felt my deepest pain. Just damn. Thank God I heard this,

[@tiae6207]

Kim Burrell, Jennifer Hudson (sings with Conviction) Jasmine Sullivan, Lalah Hathaway, Joss Stone..... YEBBA, put them together!!!!!!

[@joshuasterling2144]

She is perfect to collab with Snarky Puppy, Lalah did a song with them and its the combination of supreme musicality....lol

[@amethystw7061]

She reminds me of Jazmine Sullivan (my fav) with her range and raspy-ness in her voice i love it and it makes me wanna cry ❤️❤️❤️

[@avionterria7855]

Yebba is Abbey backwards...a childhood nickname given by her mother. She tragically lost her mom a week after this performance. Since her mom's passing, she has gone back to Abbey Smith...for future searches. Check out more Yebba/Abbey 'Gravity' w Clark Beckham, 'Evergreen' and she has a gospel duet

[@MrSitemaster2]

Ed Sheeran brought me here..... "She is by far my favourite new artist. Go listen to My Mind and Evergreen if you are new to her stuff, I promise it will give you goosebumps x" - Ed Sheeran

[@JJ-hn9lf]

yebba my mind , love it so much. could the feel hurt, the pain and the love we all exchange in life.

[@jlog1c]

Yebba (Yeh-bah) is life. Subbed.

[@elondamusichead]

JLog1c thanks for the pronunciation!

[@dreday2566]

Your reaction at the 3:00 minute mark!....I enjoy this song and even more so, the reactions! They come to do a reaction to her voice/vocal talents. Then they have that moment that this lovely lady has at that 3:00 minute mark. That moment where this performance grabs you! That moment when it becomes about so much more that vocal talent. This song/performance is just special!!

[@billliberati9840]

this is the queen of runs, imo only yebba and KZ Tandingan convey the most emotion while they sing in the world

[@elondamusichead]

Bill Liberati I gotta look up KZ Tandingan !

[@billliberati9840]

[@angelam797]

Bill Liberati that’s a strong statement you’re making. Are You sure about that ?

[@AdorzAaliyahSince94]

@@angelam797 Amen because Stevie Wonder and The Clark Sisters practically wrote the blueprint on vocal runs. Everyone else is merely a student under them all!

[@andilemaphumulo8274]

Whenever people react to artists I like it feels like I recommended them myself, so yeah, you're welcome Elonda 😂

[@aweful]

Your reaction was PRICELESS. you’ve earned yourself a new subscriber 👏🏾

[@elondamusichead]

Seriously Rob awee.. thanks so muchh

[@yoitsme762]

Thank you for your genuine reaction. I’m over here crying and feeling all the pain she feels, and i don’t have that in my life right now...I’m blown away by the sheer talent that is her.

[@angelaabram7577]

omg!!!!! i love her!!!!!! chills!!!!

[@elondamusichead]

Angela Abram yessss

[@angelaabram7577]

she is amazing! i was just strolling youtube at work one night and "stumbled" across this. dealing with a shaky marriage and my father had just past.... just imagine the shape i was in after listening....she truly has a gift from God!

[@elondamusichead]

Angela Abram wow.. I'm so sorry for that.. I pray things better

She's sounds like Jazmine Sullivan! I love it!

[@jacebell4782]

This song brought back some painful memories as if she heard me cryin and sayin those same words.

[@RickyT484]

Such an amazing (AMAZING!) performance. Literally crying over here and the she ended with a shrug and “That’s that one...” lol

[@BelleNewman]

Stumbled across your reaction and totally agree with everything you said about Yebba! Such emotion! Have you heard the 'Rise' cover by Superfruit ft. Brian Justin Crum, Mario Jose and Mary Lambert? That certainly gives the feels, too!

[@elondamusichead]

BelleNewman she is something else ! And no I haven't heard but definelty will now! Thanks for the suggestion ^_^

[@avionterria7855]

She's PK...and cites them as a heavy influence growing up. She was only 21 years old here...sanging like someone twice her age. 🤣

[@elondamusichead]

[@TheJaybirdOfficial]

Love your honesty 😍 showing how mindblown this is, makes you so sweet 😉 keep on with the reaction videos....there are others trying to clinically analyse her and end up with statements like „singing is 10% talent and 90% mindset....“

[@elondamusichead]

Wow ! I appreciate that so much !!!

[@TheJaybirdOfficial]

Yebba’s emotional authenticity is what draws you in. I’d really like to know the story behind the song because she lives it every time she sings it.
