Yolanda Adams Sings "Unbreak My Heart" in Tribute to Toni Braxton at BMI Awards 2016.

[@CoachJonJohn]

The R&B queens better be glad that Yolanda stuck to gospel 🔥🔥

[@marietpark1478]

You are so right...That anointing

[@reggietjevans]

Listen!!! Lol

[@deandrejamarr2632]

Ok! Cause My God! They Better Thank The Lord Cause This Performance Could've Single Handedly Put A Lot Of Them To Shame😂

[@davielove11]

Amen to that..😂😂😂..some of these so called "divas "are wiping the sweat from their eyebrows after that performance..😂

[@Ernstmithrandir]

Hahahaha

[@darrian202]

Don't ask Yolanda to sing your songs. She will OWN it!!!!!!!!!

[@Metallicgld12]

Darrian McRae No, she will over sing them.

[@redeemedharshsw209]

Darrian McRae ANYONE WHO SINGS ANOTHER PERSON'S SONG WITHOUT PERMISSION IS FINED AND ALSO CAN BE SURD"..

[@jarrellgreene3953]

Darrian McRae facts

[@ChrisJophiel]

Clearly it’s a tribute......... She sung this song and made it her own which is what you do when you cover another artists song. Each of Yolanda’s tribute are SICK & AMAZING. And if you knew her in her own artistry you would understand her voice. Not fussing, just correcting major errors.

[@eceoswehg.5671]

A BIG NO! The original is untouchable.

[@annamontanez870]

Yolanda can't help it. Once the spirit takes over the song will never be the same.

[@Khadijah459]

Dat's Yo!!

[@cheryljacobs8699]

[@darianmdennis]

She just went COMPLETELY IN‼️ lol and I lived for it ALL

[@liciadee1165]

Yessssss, she did that!!

[@JustMeJP]

@@cheryljacobs8699 i love Toni but she always struggles with the climax. Yolanda took it to church

[@Marco686marques]

This was the perfect balance between high notes, low notes, melisma and emotional intensity. The best cover of this song!

[@sweetangelz1126]

Absolutely

[@arturpessoa8066]

yolanda taking us to church while singing a romantic song 😂 lol she is incredible

[@matthewhagner8229]

No one can take this song from Toni but fuck!!! This was unreal! I could listen to this woman all day! She brings me closer to god

[@yolandaadams8256]

[@XavierSmithXcellence]

I'm filing paperwork against Yolanda down at the court today because I'm going to sue her for making me damage my 50-inch TV because I threw my shoe at it.

[@yngblkguy21]

Xavier Smith that part !!

[@kimberlytaylor6538]

Xavier Smith 😂😂😂😂😂

[@duranceware2750]

Lmao not at all lol

[@olefisheyedfool-watchitsuc8527]

[@123CREATIONS]

Hahahhahahahaha YASSSSS DARLING HAHAHA YESSSS

[@kalmstorm81]

[@joeyatwaini]

[@cocovernon8394]

Murdered it...........sing!!!!!!!

[@westsidetommie]

Damn Yolanda can literally sing ANYTHING and body it!!!

[@MsBellasworld]

Anything!!! Unlimited…

[@dro3910]

This needs to be released officially. Those vocals.

[@reggietjevans]

EVERYTHING AFTER @2:20 IS JUST GOLDEN!!! AFTER SHE CAME UP OUT OF THAT LOWER REGISTER SHE SMASHED THAT SONG!! STRAIGHT TO CHURCH!!! SOMEBODY PLEASE UNBREAK HER HEART!! 😣😣

[@yolandaadams8256]

[@sire6090]

Her acrobatics are ridiculous. Next to Toni, this rendition is purely emotional. For those downplaying her vocal ability (compared to Kelly Price), lets all respect each artist for their artistry. If you don't like one versus the other (KEEP YOUR MOUTHS SHUT!!)

[@dro3910]

emcnary - Yolanda’s runs are crazy!! She did amazing. Effortless.

[@rhondabenns2867]

Yeas Up Yo. Slayed that gosor Toni slayed Anota too the girl just BAD !!!!!icj love

[@danielramos6309]

You and your coment are ridiculous

[@ralisalewis351]

Kelly price is amazing too! Powerhouse singers

[@tarunmedikonda6389]

How on earth can she sing like that! I'm driven crazy. Dang Yolanda! You slew it girl....

[@thelotusbluetheory7625]

Tarun Medikonda that's what I was saying

[@keithking8348]

I LOVE THIS. IM GLAD SHE SUNG IT LIKE R&B AND NOT GOSPEL. IF SHE EVER MADE AN R&B ALBUM SHE WOULD DEFINITELY HIT#1

[@Godlywoman88]

Keith King She got gospely towards the end though

[@reggietjevans]

She definitely churched that song lol

[@imperiousness]

She definitely DEFINITELY churched this.

[@singingmanmd]

Smooth R&B and a twist of Church at the end!!!!! Yolanda you did that!!!

[@msmichelle2196]

Majority of all r&b, hip hop artists etc come from the church so church will always exist in their music hence y hollyweird uses them and gains so much money

[@musicalone74]

She took it to church! I'm surprised she didn't start singing Jesus in the end. Her voice is awesome. The only thing missing was a Hallelujah at the end... lol

[@ebitulagha3198]

😂😂😂

[@tinaayitii189]

Loll

[@massimosigismondi699]

You can't sing Jesus everytime, you have to be faithful to the song, it is not always about religion, it's also about life

[@carebear4554]

You are so right! 🤣

[@yecart5691]

😄

[@iss_iam809]

THE BACKGROUND KILLED AND YOLANDA SANG LIKE SHE'S BEEN THROUGH A HEARTBREAK!

[@slycat2355]

She has!

[@sweetangelz1126]

Yea and the band. All were amazing

[@foster517]

yolanda was DIGGING for those low notes but she got them OUT!!

[@ColeWorld75]

Nasir Foster OWT!!!

[@meto2854]

Barely. I love her though, beast!

[@mdgamble]

DIGGIN

[@sassygreen5024]

Right them low notes are her weakness NOBODY CAN HIT LOW NOTES LIKE 2 PEOPLE TONY AND LALA HATHAWAY.

[@nathans.5911]

She did okay w the first *don't leave me out in the rain* but the I need ur arms part. Yikes lol. Yolanda is a beast tho. I'm a huge Toni fan but Yolanda would wipe the floor w her in every category besides low notes

[@SuperRaymond1996]

Bruh she did that YOLANDA IS IN THE MASTER CLASS❤❤❤❤

[@chefbstable9678]

Yolanda IS the masterclass!

[@L4UR4RU4L]

can't stop replaying 03:30

[@t.m.3769]

Yolanda got me wanting to get saved off this R & B song. She was definitely singing for the Lordt. That was powerful!

[@Brwnskinn518]

She had to wear the hair too? Lol made sure did Toni justice!!❤️❤️♥️♥️

[@skip031890]

Mooke Sims I noticed that too! lol......aww, is that u in the default pic?

[@Brwnskinn518]

Kel0390 no just a pic

[@tinytowz4471]

Mooke Sims The hair! Yep!

[@rlly_james_smh1744]

Mooke Sims She a fool for this!!!

[@biancaglenn225]

Dang Yolanda

[@deejazzdancer]

Always Ms Adams gives the best tributes ever....nobody does them better.... From Whitney-Aretha-Patti-Shirley -Toni.... the list will surely go on ! D I V A !!!!

[@deantwaynehall1716]

deejazzdancer , and Anita.... that was insanely ridiculous lol!

[@queenoftheharpies8018]

I know this is an old comment, but baby she MURDERED Diana's tribute at the Kennedy Honors.

[@khixaanobioma-sakhu1758]

She did James Brown justice as well. Not taking anything away from him, but John Legend cannot and should not ever sing Glory again. It is now her song!!

[@jacobbuckhanon6366]

Khixaan Obioma-Sakhu I said the same thing

[@deejazzdancer]

@@Tshjyx01 did Yolanda did tributes to MC and LH that I missed? 😳

[@MegNaturally]

Tell me you grew up Baptist without telling me you grew up Baptist. 😂😂 This will never get old! ❤️🙌🏾

[@yenm6098]

I needs this version recorded, then sold on iTunes!!! 😂❤

[@sweetangelz1126]

Those background singers and the band too ommmggg 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@malikakeim7429]

She murdered this 🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ellenoir1]

Yolanda brought her own vocal styling to it and we felt it. I dare say Too she sang it that way caused she lived it. Not the story in the video of the song, but the lyrics. She pulled from the heartbreak of her divorce to bring all that emotion to it without overkill.

[@wanda1alexanderify]

Yolanda just can't help herself.... The gift just take's over!!! GOD WE THANK YOU FOR HER AND THE GIFT!!! 🙏🏽 2020...

[@marietpark1478]

Well said, absolutely

[@GospelAccording2ME]

Tony should file charges. Ha!

[@theerubirose1322]

GospelAccording2ME toni*

[@XavierSmithXcellence]

You stupid. Ha ha.

[@monicaw.3384]

That was so funny I snorted

[@somethingmagnificent9529]

Yolanda took ownership of the entire song!

[@CalebAHall]

They should sing this together 😂

[@DonovanLowe]

I can't stop watching this.

[@alessandromartins5966]

How could anyone dislike this impeccable interpretation, marked by emotion and musical technique.

[@matthewhagner6893]

And that's how you pay tribute 🙌 I bet Toni was living for this. So beautifully well done but of course it's Yolanda Adams so you only expect the best when she is on stage. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Leeleejayy]

Soooooooooooooo Yolanda just made me snatch my eyelashes off so I can really see who was singing !!! Y’all hear how Tamar screamed sing it haha

[@bucksanchez577]

What part

[@slycat2355]

Child, Tamar can blow doing some covers of Toni's songs too!

[@MsBellasworld]

Her talent is limitless!!! Love her!!!

[@ladynesbitt8730]

QUEEN Of Diversity! Guitar Blessing

[@Livelife95ify]

Yolanda was powerful! Shout out to the background vocalist they were amazing They Carried the background so awesomely.

[@sweetangelz1126]

Omg the background vocals and band were amazing

[@MissCleoknows]

Struggling with the lower notes. It becomes clear why Toni Braxton is such a legend. Not everyone can capture that tone and smoothness.

[@raylassiter9573]

Hilton Gennison please! U don't know music. probably can't sing either. Neither Toni or Kelly Price can touch Yolanda's strength, or quality of voice. But u are entitled to your unprofessional opinion though!

[@popland1977]

Ray Lassiter Yolanda's lower register still isn't as strong though

[@rifqidut4050]

Hilton Gennison you can watch of Anggun version for low note

[@deirdretodd1237]

Toni has struggled with this song live herself and could never take a Yolanda Adam song and smash it like Yoyo did hers#facts

[@ocandro]

People hear what they want to hear. Toni is a very good vocalist, but her only weakness is her low register, she pushes her tongue back, larynx down and soft palate up to force this comical mumbly sound, that's why her lows have nothing in common tonally with the rest of her voice. A rich mezzo like Toni could easily sing down to A2 or lower in her real voice. She uses fry sometimes too and it's actually a better way. I guess she did it to emulate Anita Baker or to stand out, but she really didn't need that.

[@savimaison2463]

Yassssss Yolanda Adams show them vocals skills. Let the Holy Spirit takeover. Give me those runs. Just gave me life.

[@keysupremehoodsoulqueen2272]

😩Lol so Ms.Yolanda just decided to take Unbreak my Heart and turn it into a Sunday Best Gospel Original 🤣 Cause she definitely sung that to the Lord!!!! #lovedit

[@ritaholliday2236]

lol

[@anousa_]

I still watch this performance frequently to this day

[@sweetangelz1126]

Me too

[@charlesjones5301]

I mean she went in for the kill...You can kinda tell she began as a tribute to Toni because it is her song but she reached her spirit and death came in for the Lyft of the song... fabulous rang, control as well as her bravado following with a falsetto... I loved it :)

[@michaelthomas7907]

Charles Jones. She meant that "without u I can't go onnnnnnnn" sheesh

[@jamiepatterson9335]

She tore this song up

[@amandaj7403]

The last 2 minutes are just other worldly ♥♥♥

[@reformer6666]

Yolanda ought to be ashamed of herself. She knows she was wrong. They never should have let her near that song. They knew it would never be the same. Lawdy. Lawdy!

[@inggutierrez6503]

reformer6666 like the time she sang... My bad.. SHE SANG glory... Oooh jhon legend... Life would never be the same LOL

[@KaayMoney]

[@biatsoho1332]

You are outrageous that was funny.

[@liciadee1165]

Y’all KNEW Yolanda was gonna go IN! She don’t half do anything she sings.

[@lisacowens79]

Amazing. Also shows just how skilled Toni Braxton is!

[@FKotun]

I wasn't expecting that. she really nailed it. excellent.

[@ralisalewis351]

Her voice has been slept on….which is ok for me cause she kills me everytime I see her sing. Yes Yolonda Adams!

[@bmbm1886]

something spiritual just happened. boy, i felt like i lost someone and i don't even have a someone to lose. gaaaah

[@hafizgunawan5337]

I love how everybody stand up for that high notes

[@marietpark1478]

Her voice so powerful it seems like it just runs on its own,but then she reels it back in....the control!!! Lord Jesus

[@1Glamrys]

How have I not seen this until 2022??? Just WOW!!!

[@JustMeJP]

Taking the climax of the song to another level, doing even more impressive runs after that climax and keep it going untill the end. Who does that?! Love Yolanda ❤

[@caligirl3000]

Hell!!! I rewind like 1000x. Yo killed it!!!!! Yaaaaaaaaaaaas!!! Wouw!!!!

Yolanda is another VOICE - She's Gifted. Her music brought me through a lot. @jonjon you're right R&B queens should've been happy she stuck with Gospel .. Because she's a beast with those vocals

Absolutely

[@tonjah3202]

Oh wow just wow Yolanda. That was beautiful. I’ve never heard anyone but Toni do this song. She handled that low register and then ran with it. To those saying she did a bad job, I sho can’t tell by the audience that stood to their feet before the song even ended. Give credit where it’s due
