Yolanda Adams - Oh, Mary Don't You Weep

Yolanda Adams sings "Oh, Mary Don't You Weep" during a tribute to Aretha Franklin in 2003.

[@2436golden]

Yolanda is singing her guts out, and all the audience is doing is sitting there like nothing is going on. They must be spiritually dead. ijs

[@Zeldarw104]

Ikr!? What I'd be getting my holy ghost spirit on for sure!!💯💖

[@constancejay8440]

They definitely are dead she is belting out powerful ancestral call and they are just motionless maybe they didn't want to offend Aretha by reacting 🤷🏾‍♀️

Thanks

Show you right but she gonna kill it hallelujah Glory To God!!!

Listen! I am not even a Christian and Yolanda constantly feels my spirit with joy! I literally seek out her songs!

I felt the holy spirit and I agree.

I wish I could rage through her fine ass body. lmao and she is definitely one of the baddest singers gospel or otherwise out there.

[@elizabethilling9387]

Excellent statement. Holy Spirit raging through Yolanda. The Holy Spirit is here to touch everyone listening to Yolanda sing. She is filled with the spirit and her awesome voice is straight from heaven. I pray she will tour Canada and wake up the so called Christians here who do not believe God is all powerful.

One of Yolanda's most powerful performances, in my opinion!

Naturally gifted. Yolanda Adams was born to sing. Everytime I hear her sing 🎤it moves me to the core of my being.

[@locadisa]

I used to ask myself how can she sing like that, Hit those high notes so well,go low and,back to midrange then recover with a smile? I finally came to the realization that it was in front of me all along.... it's hard work and God's anointing!

[@jtizzle369]

Yes, she did, my dear. YES, she DID! And, she TOLD that story,operating in the Spirit and Power of the One who raised Lazarus from the grave that day, to all who had ears to hear and a heart ready to receive & bear witness.

Most of you just couldn't compliment Yolanda and keep it moving. The only ones that are mad are you all. Aretha didn't do anything wrong. Just because she didn't jump out of her seat and start hollering doesn't mean she wasn't appreciative. Stop looking for drama where there is none and enjoy the song

[@hardren101]

1 2nd that emotion....when any artist covers a song..it is soley based on that artist's interpretation of the song....Yolanda's cover of this song was great...Aretha covered this song in her hey-day....and in aretha's hey-day...just like striesand...she could not be touch...not only did Aretha have a spectacular soulful voice...she had a spectacular comprehension of music....even with all that said...yolanda was on pitch and in key those are the two main ingredients of a good song..

[@sereneamani1713]

SAY IT AGAIN!!!!

[@Kindred04]

I know this is an old comment, but I completely agree with Brenden A. All of the mean comments about Aretha simply aren't necessary. This is pretty much how she always composes herself at these types of shows. Even when a tribute is being done in her honor, she is still very subdued and doesn't show much emotion. i don't think it's because she's mean, or jealous, or self-centered or anything like that. I think she's just one of those people who doesn't show much emotion when she's not on stage performing herself.

She is not the queen in heaven. The song is about the King Of Kings and Lord of Lords. Jesus Christ and Aretha knows better. To God be all the glory.
