Yolanda Adams Sings "My Liberty" (2018)

Me singing "My Liberty" last year at Houston United & Good Hope's Salute to Houston Gospel Music Legends!!

[@kellysawyer4581]

Thanks to @DaBrat for resurfacing this oldie but goodie

[@reggietjevans]

I ain’t never seen so many cell phones out in a choir 😅 Yolanda killed this tho

[@janclayton2017]

Cell phone users praying social media 😢

[@TheProphetsMantleLLC]

the choir directors should have told them to put the phones down... smh

[@badasiwanttobe01]

Thats crazy not cool. I song for James Cleveland, my God Mom Kitty Parham and Dr. MATTIE M. CLARK. NONE OF THEM WOULD HAVE PLAY THAT.

[@alesiawashington7814]

First..Where is the honor due God..have we forgotten he deserves all the honor.

[@chefjohnson23]

Cellphone, you are right about that.😮

[@Nikkibou09]

Hallelujah.. I sang this around my grandmother's house when I was 10 years old and still singing it today

[@tamikacannon8893]

Practicing this song to sing. It’ll be my first solo🥰

[@nikkibrowder7724]

She was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 but my Lord there is no way I would have allowed phones out recording…where are choir ethics these days. Lord help today.

[@jbrad5637]

I remember back in the day when I sung on the church choir the choir director didn't take no mess

[@shaun5729]

To much flesh being seen instead of ministry every body wants to be seen. We are supposed to lift up Jesus that’s all.

[@reemoore1174]

She recorded this song years ago and they wanted to capture it I guess.

[@Jerri-jy5on]

It is all about entertaining

[@WicksNola504]

I’m with you when you right. They seriously recording themselves with their own phones while attempting to minister to people. SMH.

[@stephhutch488]

First off…Minister Yolanda kept her flow and focus after song ending and maintained herself to the very, very end of her ministering and worship😌

[@carmakimber4304]

I love this song 🤎 Yolanda Adams ❤❤❤ what a blessing you are to us!!!

[@violet2715]

This song is so uplifting everytime I hear it! God is so good to us!❤️🙏🏿

[@userAbC-xo6ty]

One my favorites till this day.This is real gospel...❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@gailthompson2271]

I've been listening to this wonderful song every morning!!

[@bessiesimmonsmusic1368]

Me too 🙌🏾

[@kentbrooks3227]

We used to rock this one in my college choir back in the day. Yolanda, I was the last musician/director for the Bethel Male Chorus from Reidsville, NC back in the day with Leon, Arthur, Clay, and the guys. We used to travel to Houston often to sing for Southeastern's anniversary weekend. I also accompanied you on keys a couple of times when you came to NC. Thank you for the amazing example you've set over the years as both a gospel artist and humanitarian. I'm in Chicago now teaching Black Gospel Music History & Performance at Northwestern University. My most popular class covers the great women of gospel music, and you are one of the women I highlight. Peace and blessings!

[@rahsaanephriam48]

Love how the choir members are singing to the glory of the Lord ushering in His spirit by having their phones out making sure they get great content for their TikTok & KZbin page

[@mommy24me]

Not with the cell phones

[@aliciawarrenjohnson7652]

😂🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

[@jaespig1537]

Right!

[@gwennichols5023]

Probably don't know words. Reading lyrics

[@sherrihardison1661]

Yes Sir!! Anointed WOG!! Those phones though😮

[@trinawilson2267]

Glory to ya, i place no one b4 you!!! Sang Yolanda!!!!❤💃💃

[@Bnizzofashizzo]

I love Yolanda here and her professionalism and humility , as always. She is dedicated to excellence Our people … i wish they sung and worshipped unto the Lord.

[@jakeballard7999]

Yes the Brat @hitdemNotes brought me here

[@LeShawnDanielTV]

The queen of the ad libs🔥

[@keeplivingnyourrightmind]

I have listening to this song for the past few weeks. Ms. Adams is so anointed and always deliver a message of help and celebration. I'm planning to sign this one soon. Be bless, everyone!!!

[@stephaniewright6506]

I was in 3rd grade in the 80s when this song was out.

[@user-br9fo1ii1j]

Yolanda can sing, I love this song and it is one song I will always love hearing Yolanda sing. I wish the musicians would have played the music with a little faster tempo so she could minister with such anointing as she usually does, Nevertheless, God is so good,

[@andrewmarchbankd321]

OMG! Put the phone's down!!!

[@antoinetteejackson-salonis4808]

AWESOME!!! PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS!!!

[@josannealanagreene7616]

Ms Yolanda seriously and truthfully some of the members in the choir in the back row are Disrespectful ,they are video recording on their phones and laughing that's a distraction while you are singing to the Lord ,Mommy , GOD bless you and continuing serving the Lord always Mommy ,,Love the performance 👏👏👏❤💗💖💟💋💋

[@4knewt505]

I don't think they know the words. Oh wait, nope, dude sure is recording. Ugh

[@dortheamcnulty3098]

Father Hayes and Melton Bronson NO would not have been she sung Amen & Amen

[@allondaphillips5111]

When I was singing behind her in March, they were being disrespectful to her.

[@spotwms8768]

​@@4knewt505im glad i heard sing this as an adult, finally!When this song 🎵 was released it was and still is amazing!! initially, I thought the choir was using phones to get the verses but I think I'm wrong. 😢 I'll go ahead and post the record version for my throw back. I wish I could have used this (the cell phones are too distracting).

[@arrobinson2191]

I like how she kept on despite her voice. She knows how to control & stay where it's comfortable and not sound a mess.

[@demarcushoward4294]

Wow Yolanda blew that song away!!! Good Lord Jesus you have been so good!!!!

[@curiousscott1377]

I saw this video a few years ago, I was soooo disappointed to see them with cameras recording while backing her up?!?!? You’re supposed to at least act like you aren’t star struck or whatever is the reason for not respecting the ministry and who you’re ministering to. Secondly, I agree, they weren’t paying attention (even the director?!) when she came back I came back with her the first time I heard this. Maybe there’s different levels of back up or upbringing. We were always ready for wherever the leader would go planned and unplanned. Props to Yolanda ✊🏾🎶💜for keeping it going and even changing where she was to be in unity with the choir🙄, she shouldn’t have had to do that🤦🏾‍♀️ I actually did enjoy the new version minus those obvious mishaps

[@ursulaelmore8635]

Please record this again!!!

[@can_you_guess_my_new_username]

It's recorded 12 million times by the choir members....😂😂😂😂😂

[@ceritaarmstrong6308]

One of my favorite gospel songs from my childhood..Never knew it was Yolanda Adams singing this song 🤷🏾‍♀️She’s amazing

[@luanna376]

He Still So Good To Me. What An Awesome Future! What An Awesome Eternity With Christ Too...

[@josephinenelson6231]

Thank you Jesus🙏🙏🙏💞

[@eligahmurrayjr1541]

Some have their phones out but Yolanda didn’t miss a beat and neither did they 🤷🏾‍♂️💕🥰🥰🥰 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ICUMverse]

The choir holding up their phones to record is sooooooooooo distracting.

[@debrathompson3701]

I can't believe they allowed it!! 🙄

[@tunyonafrazier1701]

So true. Gods praise is what should be goal.

[@kimyoung1801]

Just rude

[@michellebeard6149]

and I think it's DISRESPECTFUL

[@tonimccleveland5014]

You sang it's so beautiful

[@lishawilliams68]

Throw a shoe😮#mattiemossclarkstyle

[@miraclesblessings5044]

That right there!!!!!

[@pytricewilliams4772]

Sis Mattie would have thrown all of them out of the choir!

[@jakeballard7999]

LMAOOOO

[@Secretplacekingdom]

You’re awesome! Sounding GOOD!! Love this!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯

[@lashawnholmes7524]

[@WicksNola504]

Sing, Shout, get a Selfie! Chile sit the whole choir down.

[@nikkibrowder7724]

That part

[@TonygMus2]

Yesssss

[@fredag5020]

One of my favorites

[@terriroyston5086]

Shame on that director for letting them record

[@blackgarmentbag7482]

Things changed when choirs stopped wearing robes…

[@kimyoung1801]

Say it loud for the peoples in the back!!!

[@nadinethomas7124]

I don't know about that but something did.

[@nadinethomas7124]

I don't know about that but something definitely changed.

[@bishoptruth8182]

Yolanda's voice is impeccable!!! But what is this tomfoolery of choir members clearly recording her with their cell phones WHILE THEY'RE SINGING??? Totally unacceptable.

[@teresawhitaker5485]

My former Minister of Music would have STOPPED the song! Selfies during MINISTRY????

[@dortheamcnulty3098]

Mine to and got all new chior members that’s a fact she kept going through Ma. Adams is BAD

[@BWTV23]

She sounds exactly the same as the record

[@rodneybrown8683]

Spectacular Style Amazing Awesome indeed ❤️💙👍💗

[@chaquitajacksonwestmorelan5530]

Yolanda....you made my soul happy. Beautiful!!!! Now what is the deal w/ the phones. That was awful.

[@MoMo-pp9ko]

Thank You Father

[@shaun5729]

Half the choir have their phones out what in the world🤔.

[@hoseawalton8987]

That's crazy

[@m.d.292]

I was just saying this. Just 😢

[@deniserollins3596]

It seems as though they were recording

[@ericabarcus4255]

🤦🏽‍♀️

[@beautifullykept66]

Wow!!! Ridiculous worshipping Yolanda Adams instead of God smhh

[@DeeC1201]

HALLELUJAH 🙌🏽🙏🏽

[@timothyjackson1981]

How you pulling out your phone to record anything? When I think about her ministry and God's sacrifice, how can I do anything but shout in that moment?

[@CANDYSOULonline]

YESSSSS!!!!

[@HI-lq4vl]

Shouldve sat the choir down. 😒

[@kelvinhallmon9304]

I'm hollin

[@bryanjohnsson415]

Choir and musicians were a disgrace could have done way better than that this is 2018, but the original recording is still king. Yolanda still talented enough to sing over that mess.

[@ms.jessikafutureeducator.3340]

Mannn had that been James Butts on that organ he would have sat the straight down! Put the phones down…And the lady with the black and white skirt on…In the front row…Everyone can see you…🙄🙄🙄🥺

[@miraclesblessings5044]

Guurrrllll yes...get on the back row or better yet the audience. I'm just saying.

[@ms.jessikafutureeducator.3340]

@@miraclesblessings5044 right

[@SuperFitness4life]

to all those who think they were using their cell phones for the lyrics...judging by the way they were angling their phones, they were recording/capturing themselves...at one point you could see the camera light on - on the female's cell phone, is there 'Anyone', anything, or anywhere that's sacred anymore? ridiculous smh!!!

[@mieshacanb6967]

Uhm HAHAHA I'M DONE THE BRO with the phone thatvis that 2018 lolol😂😂😂😂

[@jacquin.799]

I would’ve been running around the building and they’re standing there with phones out 😡

[@mommy24me]

The phones WERE SO INAPPROPRIATE. They did not pay attention to the words.

[@jakeballard7999]

That's a VERY hard song to sing, you can see at the end it took alot to hit those notes

[@galaharvell1648]

Wonderful song, and she did a fantastic job. Unfortunately, the distractions from the people using their phones to record are typical in this digital society. Other artists would have shut it down. I'm just saying....

[@Karen_Mosley]

Sounds better than her recording!!

[@shawnteberry3005]

ya'll know better. . .put those phones down and buy the CD 💿 because it's being recorded 😳

[@kingskidkmf]

Beautiful. Was that V. Michael Mckay?

[@aprilmorethanhair1952]

❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@sharnicebolling5237]

Not cellphones in the choir stand!? Oh wow!

[@desires84]

Put the phones away... if this was ole school church them phones would be GONE!

[@drayvaughn357]

People just have to proven they were around some one famous why can’t you just live in the moment

[@jennifermosby5813]

Choir Director has not trained her singers on professional behavior when they are backing up professional singers. All those phones. Their focus is on a person and not God.

[@staceyhenson3389]

Had you put those phones down, and then you could have followed Yolanda the way you were supposed to. Overall, great job! 👍

[@Nadine5567]

It hink the phones were for the words🤦🏽‍♀️...not just recording

[@alexisshackelford260]

I lovedddddd this except the RUDE UNPROFESSIONALS with their phones out like this wouldn’t be on this internet for public view .

[@marlonhamilton3666]

She sung the brakes off of that song. Hate to say it but she sounds better than the record. And the record doesn't sound bad

[@crystalspencer2203]

I Did Tik Tok Video I Really Like This Because It's Me

[@phillyvette1102]

What choir was backing her? For them to be recording and taking selfies was beyond tacky.

[@Worme95]

4:46 why did it take so long for the choir to come back in and then came in on the wrong syncopation

[@jorhodes8507]

The choir director is in charge. It's her fault.

[@MsDeebass1979]

I'm sure they did'nt know the song, and were reading the lyrics on the phone

[@alldoodlesmatter6095]

You can clearly tell they are recording

[@terriroyston5086]

She’ll probably never ask them to record with her

[@jbrad5637]

so disrespectful were that choir director at

[@bettymartin8878]

At first I thought they didn't know the words but they are recording. Yolanda Adams is wonderful. I love her music. But recording in middle of singing not cool.

[@nikkibrowder7724]

Yessss straight up looking the other way…ain’t payed attention to the director the first…

[@Worme95]

Did they have to have their phones out the whole time?

[@kellysawyer4581]

Ya'll have to chill... this is what we do when we have reunions. Church is living, moving and loving-on celebration!

[@user-bk6uf9oy4y]

Naw : The Lord requires Holiness! The cell phones etc ain’t it.

[@nadinethomas7124]

There's a time for that, this wasn't it. IMO

[@livingtobelovedforme2223]

They look so tacky with them phones in their hands.

[@miraclesblessings5044]

Did they not get the memo that this is ALL about praising the Lord? If they got paid 4 this then everyone should demand their $ back. This is ridiculously ridiculous! The lady in the front row...I mean is she reading the words or filming herself?, If u don't know the words then kindly get on the back row or better yet the audience.

[@jojomarkell7447]

Maybe she told them it's ok

[@alldoodlesmatter6095]

They should know it’s not ok

[@Worme95]

If it were my choir it wouldn’t have been up to her.

[@bobbywitherspoon8769]

Ok, this is a joke .... right...😮😮😮😮😮 And the director allowed it.

[@jacquin.799]

People in the choir with phones or 😮😳

[@Rflower1]

The camera is so distracting and should be removed from any service unless they're recording the entire service. That is a disgrace! They couldn't get the ques for recording.

[@jimmybrown-sm1pw]

That is so rude the choir got phones in there hands while singing I don't allow it..

[@chilepleasestop9118]

1:45 -- I see why this sounds so bad, put those dang on phones down and focus on what you're doing. I can't believe it.

[@GodsApostle36]

Why are they recording while singing? This choir has no respect at all. I know this old but come now.

[@monaletoirby8052]

Choir Director?? 🙄

[@dianealexander7004]

So disrespectful. Recording while she's singing. Just plain rude.

[@vedahunter4634]

😂😂 the phones are just going the director is not directing and ain't NOBODY SAAAAANNNNNNGING except Yolanda Adams what's really going on here people, but then phones down and sing please.😅😅😅😅😅

[@terriroyston5086]

The phones … how disrespectful and blasphemous

[@can_you_guess_my_new_username]

Looks so tacky with all phones out but thats just my opinion and im not god so i cant say how god felt. I do believe god wants us to enjoy life and have fun, so god probably sees this through different graceful eyes than myself.

[@marv8985]

😩😩😩 I can’t believe they are recording while doing back up ….This is tacky

[@valeriescott3040]

The choir and director is so off..unbelievable

[@rondell922]

This is sad they can't even sing without them doggone cell phones in their hands..pure ignorance I tell ya

[@hermanhorton2549]

Why grown folks GOT to be TOLD how to act ???🥲. Do unto others. You don’t want 20 phones in your face. What makes you think she do???🤩. Wow
