The way Diana was smiling at her singing her song. She was so pleased. 😊 Yolanda always makes folks cry and bring out the church hands. 😂

[@lastvirginmedia6243]

Yolanda is a massive weapon made for live shows. She does it best on the stage.

[@CelestialGatez]

RIGHT! Hits the bulls eye every time!

[@ThuxOliveira]

Ms Ross reaction is 1:20 when the choir came is soooo nice! and her eyes filled with tears

[@FreshAir79]

Love me some Yolanda Adams, she did that to the fullest, I love how she keep a little of the original song but she adds that YoYo twist to it

[@RadiantJasmin]

that YoYo twist, love it! :-)

[@koneal1707]

Yolanda Adams is a superstar to me! I love her rendition of Reach Out, but when the choir came in, I just lost it!! This is SUPERSTAR great!! I only watched it four times, so far! This will stay in my favorites folder forever!

[@bpdynasty9265]

One of the best tributes I've seen to any artist....Yolanda's vocal ability is just insane! Took Diana Ross right to church with her own song!

[@ellisisland1374]

True!😄🙂

[@lindawilliams8715]

Check out Ms. ADAMS singing Georgia On My Mind as a tribute to the great JAMES BROWN at the K.C.H. - just as awesome! 🙏@@ellisisland1374

[@grey2868]

Wow! So amazing! I usually think it's underwhelming seeing other singers cover Diana's songs but Yolanda made the message just as powerful as Ms. Ross does!!

[@williamnuels9240]

LET THE CHURCH SAY AMEN TO YOLANDA ADAMS

[@ellisisland1374]

[@dressmakersdummy54]

It’s unbelievable, she never got to the superstardom of Diana, Aretha, Tina and others of their era.

[@eboniking4860]

Touch someone from your heart. She sing things that doesn’t take her out of her genre of living. The gospel and it resounds as an inspirational classic.

[@crd1983]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@takecourage297]

Whatever is happening to you is a valley and life is full of them We all have valleys, it is just how deep your valley is. Some valleys are deeper than others, some are longer than others. Always have hope for a solution. No one is hopeless whose hope is in the Lord. This is me just reaching out to you with this word of encouragement.

[@tffy2004]

That Choir!!

[@maryroseculas3273]

Diana Ross, is one of my favourites, since young. I see that in Yolanda Adams.

[@Tehkia02]

Yolanda ate up that Kennedy Center

[@TheRelger]

Yolanda as gorgeous as she is talented. Diana is still beautiful. I’m not a crier but if Yolanda was singing to me I might crack!

[@christopherroberts9225]

I really needed to hear this encouraging song tonight! God Bless Everyone Everywhere....We are your People.

[@GSP__]

[@pamcullen537]

Absolutely fabulous singer , thank you for making the wonderful feelings you inspire ❤️

Great Great singer and presence performer.

[@rprestol]

[@lisajackson2329]

She's still beautiful inside and out....

[@clearitoutt]

My God 🙌🏾

[@carolynmoffett5]

Yolanda worked that song! Powerful vocals!

[@lindawilliams8715]

Ms. ADAMS singing Georgia On My Mind as a tribute to the great JAMES BROWN at the K.C.H. - just as awesome! 🙏

[@Raven-ug8uw]

Beautiful.

[@dwinodd75]

I love her so dearly.

[@ujebaraislamicsinger]

Lady Of Soul Yolanda adams

[@pauleubanks9754]

THAT WAS AMAZING!!!

[@matthewhagner7803]

This got me all emotional

[@nauvejoseph9001]

She is amazing!!!!

[@Acvasq]

Wow that was amazing!

[@mysonusaf50]

Beautiful

[@kenttonbrowne9392]

But we all know that no one can do it like Diana. Her tone, pitch and the range is so soothing and sweet. Heavenly music in her throat. Love Diana. Legendary Diva.

[@dlw1221]

NO ONE!!..screaming dont equal good. Yolanda took a timeless ICONIC gem and demolished it with her attempt at turning it Gospel but then the Power of that choir came thru and saved the day. We need the Power of that choir right about Now to save this day, ijs

[@nesq4104]

I love Diana's version the best. It moves you in such a special way. I used to love blasting that song at the beach during nyv summers

[@brycesrants2899]

I ain’t crying you are

[@YaH-Ra]

also is that Steve Martin? lmao random

[@kimson305]

Yes lol

[@TheMisterMarilyn]

How weird!! For as an amazing singer as Yolanda most assuredly is, this aint a patch on Diana's interpretation!! There's only one Diana, and she made every song her own, and inimitable 🌟🧡

[@raydavis1539]

*мαяιlуи * being a Yolanda fan and not so much a Diana fan.. I don't want to agree.. but I cringed a few moments in this tribute and I've seen Diana tributed before.. there was some "WTF" moments behind her eyes this performance..lol

[@gregorynewsome6518]

I see you don't get it...

[@yellowlight2563]

Gregory Newsome It must have been too gospel to them. She needed to sound like a white washed pale 👻 to be good.

[@marimuffin]

@@yellowlight2563 It's because Yolanda has too much soul and Diana can't hit those high notes like her.

[@lulanesby2906]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Feeling so Loved in this moment! Love you guys! Awesome!!!!

[@KingMarkonian]

So beautiful.

[@evanrarung]

I dont know how many times I replay thissss

[@dercorybeep]

Still love this tribute after all these years!❤

[@CelestialGatez]

Yolanda took them to church!

[@stevengaines818]

What 6 people didn’t like this?

[@PeaceFan1]

Aretha sang this song the BEST on her album, Aretha Live at Fillmore West!!!

[@Sttephy30]

She sure did. Aretha to' this song up in that 1972 or 1971 live performance as well. It was amazing.

[@luciusjohnson384]

Right!!

[@damongipson-dg8pc]

Beyounce said she will sing Yolanda under the bus

[@Sc0rpion]

Beyonce has never said anything like that about Yolanda or anyone. Why make that up?

[@JaniellaCross]

Beyoncé a damn lie!!

[@christopherroberts9225]

Somehow I came upon this after just watching a short documentary of the "Assassination" of Malcom X...and basically he was assassinated by his own people....for those who didn't know. This song was a bit healing for the world.
