I only came here for this comment and to double down on it. ",There's literally no one like Jazmine Sullivan, period! She's in a lane all her own and has written many great songs for other artists as well. Just an immeasurable talent
Went to the same high school as Jazmine. Creative & Performing Arts High School here in Philadelphia. Rode the same bus to school in the mornings. She lives and breathes music. She’d practice scales and runs on the bus, in the hallways, wherever she went. Loved and admired all the vocal majors and their commitment to their craft. Ms. Sullivan has always been special!! Wish her a lifetime of success.
shoutout to you beauty for not being one of those haters from peoples past! the fact that you like it seen it back then and you’re just happy for her! that’s a powerful woman 💪🏽❤️
It’s such a privilege to grow up w talented people I went to Hollywood high performing arts magnet and got to observe them perfecting their craft and dedication to get to where they are today I run into her every blue moon and it’s funny because I really believe they brain wash artist because they remember you early in their career but after a few times of running into her the 3rd time she didn’t remember my face .. the most we can do is wish them the best it makes me feel like I’m a star as well‼️🤷🏽♀️😭😂🥹👽🔥👌🏽
“The Other Side” is a really sad song and topic that she treats flippantly, the same way the girls who are pursuing that life do. It’s a really tragic tale that she portrays brilliantly while still showing love, grace and non-judgment to the women she’s singing about
@@eboyd2478? The album is called Heaux Tales… literally none of them are her lived experiences or thoughts. She sat with a group of black women who told their stories and she built this album around it
I love how moved your dad was by "The other side" because although there is some humor to the lyrics.. there is truly a yearning to have a "better life" that she convey's through the emotion in her vocals. Even if you don't relate directly to her desires expressed in the song you can relate to fantasizing about a life you've always dreamed of.
You do realize that Jazmine is painting a picture of a girl with a warped sense of self-worth and the life she dreams of isn't to be desired. The song is supposed to be sad, not an anthem.
Fun Fact: "Let It Burn" interpolates a song called "Ready or Not" by the vocal group, After 7, which was founded by two of Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds' brothers. Jazmine nods to this in the lyric, "Cause ready or not, it's coming for you". Glad you enjoyed the Tiny Desk! Jazmine is an elite singer and songwriter!
I don't know if you looked this up, or know it organically, but I caught that when I first heard it. 'Ready or Not' had a very particular sound and style. Jazmine called to it, expertly.
Jasmine is a vocal prodigy and this is why you're so moved emotionally. She has all the range and control to manipulate her voice in whatever direction she so chooses. This is why her voice appears both simple and complex at once. Nothing short of total control and musical genius
Jazmin, at 10 years old, was the special guest at my home church in Philadelphia and performed and sang five songs in front of 5500 people and owned the room at such a young age. I knew she was a star. No one could touch gift, it's beyond what I ever heard, and Jazin at that time was a baby.
I love Jazmine Sullivan. You will be blown away by her live version of Pick Up Your Feelings. Please watch it, even if you don’t do a reaction. It’s amazing.
I love that your dad was able to feel the emotions she was trying to portray. Heaux Tales was an album expressing the stories Jazmine heard from women about love, self discovery and heartbreak. If you've heard the song Mascara from an older album, this album is like an expansion on the themes in Mascara. You could even look at The Other Side as Mascara pt.2.
Jazmine is not only an amazing performer but she also wrote great tunes for other famous artists. If I can recommend another Tiny Desk that you would enjoy it's Yebba. A lot of people are fantasizing about a collab between Jazmine and Yebba because they are both amazing Live.
I played this sooooo many time during Covid. I discovered Jazmine in college and initially thought she sounded like Lauryn Hill in her prime, but Jazmines sound is truly all her own. Her throat is anointed!!! She sadly lost her mom and grandma recently so send her all the positive energy! 🫶🏾
When Heaux Tales came out… I listened to it everyday 5x per day for 3 months and then the deluxe the version came and I listened to it everyday 5x per day for 5 more months and after listening to it today, I’m gonna have to give it another couple of listens. Love Jazmine ❤❤❤
So happy you’ve done this. You definitely need to see the lock up your pieces performance live. Also, Chloe and Halle’s Tiny Desk is so wonderful. Please react!
thirded! their vocal technique is incredible, and their harmonies are heavenly. bonus you can see why chloe spent the past few years as a dynamic solo pop star and halle as an ethereal disney princess
I luv me some jazzy🎉🎉🎉I can listen to her for days and not get tired but I won't say she's the greatest living. Come on , but to each there own. Stephanie Mills, Angela Winbush, Ledisi, Anita Baker, Lalah Hathaway, Rachelle Ferrell, Celine Dion, that's just some from the ones who sing music I jam too, there are absolutely more. 🎉🎉🎉
I totally get the emotions when watching/hearing her. For there to be someone so talented it kind of takes you aback. And realizing people are truly born with gifts, recognizing that becomes one of those “life is beautiful” moments.
15:53 i said play more Jazmine because i haven’t seen dad tear up in a while, but I wasn’t expecting it to be the part of her singing about moving to Atlanta and getting a BBL! 😂😂😂😂
I love Jazmine down!!! Ugh so good to see you all cover this. Tori Kelly, her live performances are just as dynamic because she came up very similarly, performing from a very young age, etc. Vocal runs fall effortlessly out the throats of both ladies. Absolutely beautiful!
I'm so glad you enjoyed her Tiny Desk. Since you enjoyed her vocal range so much, another performance that I think really shows a great range and it's also a Tiny Desk, is the one for Durand Bernarr. He's fairly... eclectic, I guess is a good word, but the creativity pours from him and he puts on an absolutely fabulous show, him and his musicians and background singers.
You really don't appreciate Jazmine Sullivan until you hear this Tiny Desk. Her vocal range and control is INSANE! After you listen to this version, you don't even want to listen to her actual album. This live performance was INSANE. WOW!
I remember when The Lost Ones dropped. I was so ready for the Heaux Tales album. Jazmine Sullivan to me releases music at the perfect time, every time.
She is the epitome of our generation’s Phyllis Hyman…lyrically and musically.. she sings depths from the lowest points in life that make you ‘soul cry’, to the joys of love and life…absolutely Devine…❤
I totally relate to dad getting emotional over the feel of the song regardless of the actual lyrics because it happens to me all the time.. like why am I getting choked up?? 💖 love this channel
I'm so glad you got a chance to sit down and experience Jazmin Sullivan she's my favorite singer of all time. The first reaction hurt 😂. She is amazing not only vocally and lyrically but also in her chocies of sounds and textures along with the placement. For me she is unmmached.
I am so touched by your dad’s reaction to Jazmine’s voice. She recently lost her mother.. I hope she sees this and gets a little bit of joy. Love the channel! Can’t wait for the Beyoncé reactions 👌🏾✨
I'm so late to this video. I had been hoping you'd get around see her Tiny Desk show. I hope you look up Jazmine's performance of "Home" from The Wiz. She's 10 or 11. The funny thing is that Questlove mentioned that exact performance in an podcast interview he did with Sam Fragoso (A Celebration of Soul, 6 Feb 2022). He was describing how he started having jam sessions at his home in Philly and his neighbour told him how this 10-year old sang like an an adult (35:40). When you see the video, you'll understand. It's a crazy powerful performance!! In the bubble that gave us the Roots, Jill Scott, India Arie, and Eryka Badu, little Jazmine Sullivan was there taking in the view.I thought you'd like to know that.
We watched and reacted to her wonderful Wiz performance on our Patreon in case you’re interested. Thank you for checking out this Tiny Desk reaction - simply brilliant. - Kai’s dad
I’m so glad you covered this. Dad is right. No one can really cover her, but the song I find real singers…everyone’s favourite singers love to cover is “In Love with another man.” That and Mona Lisa are worth listening to on the channel. You’ve also mentioned Pick Up Your Feelings and all the live performances are different for that one.
You have to watch the video of her singing a song from The Wiz at talent show when she was a kid! Puts me in tears everytime! For someone that young to have the voice she had back then is absolutely amazing! I think the audience thought she was lip syncing to it before realizing it was really her and got into it, which makes the video even better. She is truly one of the vocal greats, I’m a big fan!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jazmine Sullivan’s acoutic version of Pick Up Your Feelings is masterful. She also has a song called Masterpiece which is amazing. She’s one of the most underrated artists/vocalists.
I think your dad would enjoy Ari Lennox. She has a new song called Get Close w/a music video. Lots of beautiful songs in her discography though with some humor in her lyrics too. She's a gem
I love Jasmine and especially this album Heaux Tales Mo'Tales. She introduced a new way of expressing some women feelings about love and life through music. Almost like having real conversations with your best friend about situations that have happened in your life. Where you express yourself freely and not using words to insinuate the situation, she basically sings what happened and her real thoughts. I can see where some people cant relate to the lyrics but her songs are real life situations. Its a very creative way of getting her lyrics out but entertaining you with the music even if you personally dont relate to words of her songs. Amazing if you ask me. 😊
I LOVED this. Jazmine is hands down my favorite tiny desk video and artist/vocalist/etc. But I will say I think y'all would like Yebba's Tiny Desk just as much. Her range and textures, etc. are really good and the songwriting is incredible. If you do listen, Dad keep tissues close by because it could be emotional.
I love I love that she wrote let it burn for the love between her parents! She recently lost her mom, I hope she continues to perform it, it’s such a feel good fun track about love. 💕
I just LOVE the both of your reactions. Jazmine is my FAVORITE and NO, there is NO ONE that can do her songs like this. She one of a kind. This shows how universal music is. Keep rocking on gents!!! 🙌🏽🙏🏽✊🏽
What I think I love about Jazmine which I think she showed in Lost Ones is sometimes the Background will sing the main vocals and she does the ad libs which allows her the freedom to go balls to the wall and impress us all. Sidenote: I saw Jazmine at The Phoenix in Toronto in 2015. AMAZING 🤩 10/10 Would recommend
I fell in love with her through watching this 2 years ago. I was going through a hectic breakup and my ex left me because I lacked drive. “The other side” made me so emotional for some reason because all I’ve done was work and I’ve never asked anybody for anything and to have someone leave me because “I had no drive” baffled me. I was and still am such a hard worker, and yes I might not be working a job of my dreams but I make sure that I make the most of the job I have. I am constantly getting promoted and that’s definitely not due to a lack of drive. Anyway the reason I love “The other side” is because it’s about a girl who’s worked hard and just wants a break, a girl who just wants to be taken care of for once. I felt that way during this period.
She’s one of, if not the most vocally complex singers of today’s music. Not only is her writing insane, but she tells a story even with just the tone of her voice. I really hope you two listen to In Love With Another Man and I think you may like the recorded version of Let it Burn.
The Dad is so cute getting touched by Jazmine’s singing. She has been singing like that since childhood. She is the gold standard. Google Jazmine Sullivan at 11 y/o and hear her as a child. God blessed that one!
I would love to see Jazmine Sullivan and Brandy do a duo. They both have those unique raspy voices and so much depth and layers in their tone. The theatrical side of Jazmine in Lions, Tigers and Bears can go side by side with the Cinderella version of Brandy. Both ladies are incredibly talented!!! If you haven't seen it already, please check out the video of 13 year old Jazmine singing at the Apollo, her voice was mature even then.
Two artist playing back and forth off each other with runs and rifts is definitely intentional!!! It’s very popular in R&B and gospel! They did it perfectly!
After seeing Jazmine Sullivan Tiny Desk, it immediately made me think of Durand Bernarr’s Tiny Desk. Please do his. Durand, his BGV, and band all were musical perfection. Also, he is a longtime background vocalist for Erykah Badu and grew up with his father playing instruments for Earth, Wind, and Fire. His talent and what he’s able to do with his voice is on another level, just like Jazmine’s.
I saw her live at the House of Blues in Dallas and there is just such an amazing spirit off of her that is just... insane in person. I just cry every time so I get your dads emotion lol we grooved and danced and cried in the audience the whole time! I love that she turned "Lost Ones" into a praise and worship song lol
I still can't believe that someone can actually sound like this, every time I hear her voice. 🙌🏾 It's like she's turned singing into a science and she MASTERED it (no pun intended). ❤❤❤❤
I saw her in Atlanta in October 2022 and I was in tears and shaking with emotion. She is so amazing live! And she had just gotten bad news about her mother's healthand was taking some time off, so it was very special. The whole crowd prayed for her as she got emotional.
Your explanation of the song she did with H.E.R. was on point. it expresses the collective feelings of women and more significantly black women and the ideals of society and navigating love and ones own sense of self. As a black woman I personally loved this song the most.
What a great observation by yall on the last song "heaux like me". I felt the same way when I first heard it and it seemed as though Jasmine and HER vocally didn't mesh well together on the song. But... when I look at it in the perspective like you guys talked about it makes more sense. Anywho I was super excited to see you reviewed Jasmine's tiny desk. Great job! Edit: another thing I felt and literally seen it come over your Dad at 15:49 is that the content of the song was lost on me and unrelatable, but the vibe and emotion behind it couldn't be missed. Other side made me super emotional although the lyrics were, dare I say, superficial and hilarious. I told my Husband I almost wished the lyrics were about something else because the heart strings being pulled on in that song was unmistakable.
Jazmine has been singing since she was like 8 years old. At this point she is giving the world the vocal genius she has and continues to become. I am in awe of her voice and she deserves so many flowers. ❤❤
I want to say,your son loves music the way you loved music back in your day and. And this is truly a gift you inspired in him so I appreciate you both for showing 💗
If your dad is into jazz, you should check out her cover of a song called Round Midnight. She did it twice. One over a decade ago and again in 2022 with an artist named Adam Blackstone. They have 2 different feels and the newer one was jaw dropping!
I seen this video and went to the “Lions, Tigers, and bears” reaction to watch that one first, and this one next. It’s very touching to see someone that’s not of the culture appreciate (and even moved to tears by) a gem such as Jazmine Sullivan, who has been overlooked and under-appreciated. I love your raw, honest, reaction, and you have gained a new subscriber! Much love! ❤️🙌🏾
If y’all saw her performance of “Home” from The Wiz from age 12 (?) you’d be stunned. How a child that young can have such control of their voice is amazing
I am OBSESSED with this album! I love all of Jazmine's stuff but this was THE album and I was so happy when I got to see her live a couple years ago and sing these songs live!
This has got be one of my favorite videos I’ve seen in months. Your dad being touched so deeply by her talent!? That tells me she isn’t recognized enough. If HE hears it and can get this emotional imagine what could happen to others that get to know her music?? Really my favorite video in so so so long.
I suggested Joe the singer and I’m sure he’s coming but after watching this. Another male singer popped into mind that I think you would 100% enjoy. Early Musiq Soulchild. He’s an absolute beast too the song “Love”
When your dad started crying at min 17, I totally understood why. My husband laughs at me every time I cry to a song, because he instantly knows that I must really love everything about the song. The first song I ever cried to because I loved it so much was "men in black" by Will Smith. 😂😂😂😂. I freaking love everything about that song. And I cried to a fetty wap song after that 😂. Over the years I have cried a lot more, but its not often a song steals my heart so much to bring me to tears. If a song can make me cry with excitement, thats how I know its a really great song.
I simply am mesmerized and joyful with your videos. The joy is a father and son relating to the same art is so inspiring. Dad’s love of Diana Ross insures that Kai is learning the true classic ICONS. Jazmine and “Hoe Tales” was one of my favorite albums for 2021! So clever, so funny and the music is right on point. Jazmine is an excellent writer as well. Another artist touched by Clive Davis, who I had the honor and luck to be a music mentor when I was a decades long Arista guy.
What I love about Jazmine is her ability to make such relatable, realistic and intimate music. She sings about things every day people experience - whether it's struggling to let go of someone who doesn't deserve you, or dreaming about money and fame because you never had anything growing up, she just makes you feel like you're singing your feelings out vs singing a perfectly written song. It's always so raw, always so intimate.
My reaction to her vocal presentation is that her voice is a pure illustration of its use as a musical instrument. Just amazing what she is doing. She “plays” in a way that makes the outcomes beautiful gifts of magic she bestows on us. Her live performance is outstanding.

Jazmine’s parents were huge jazz buffs and named her Jazmine to commemorate that. She’s also trained in jazz, hence the scatting.
❤
Exactly and I also hear her Gospel roots
❤
“The Other Side” is a really sad song and topic that she treats flippantly, the same way the girls who are pursuing that life do. It’s a really tragic tale that she portrays brilliantly while still showing love, grace and non-judgment to the women she’s singing about
That was my favorite part of the album it was based in truth not judgement

its like when you microwave a honey bun with the wrapper on, the microwave explodes and you're homeless.

Fam your explanation and interpretation of the song was beautifully expressed!! Love it….
Dad is ME!!!! "Don't have too much fun without me" is the hardest line to hear if you've ever been there! Absolutely perfect!
Jazmine's voice is so textured and just moves your soul; and her songwriting captures emotion in such an authentic way that we can all relate!
its like when you microwave a honey bun with the wrapper on, the microwave explodes and you're homeless.
@@ggggt517 😂 yes thats how explosive it is
Jazmine and H.E.R didn’t have to go off like that. It doesn’t disappoint AT ALL 😭😭😭✨
They really didn’t!!!! 😭😭😭
Jazmine Sullivan does not receive the recognition she truly deserves. She is a phenomenal artist. ❤❤❤❤
Facts
We know the industry😢😢😢she's a real arrist/with talent, so I'm sure she will not settle for BS/ they can't control her.
She won a Grammy finally!!
Then you give it to her!!

I love Jazmine Sullivan. You will be blown away by her live version of Pick Up Your Feelings. Please watch it, even if you don’t do a reaction. It’s amazing.
Omg yes I agree 100% this is a must! 😂
My thoughts exactly!
This is an absolute must
I absolutely agree too! I think they would love how the song is built.
That performance is so amazing!!!
I love that your dad was able to feel the emotions she was trying to portray. Heaux Tales was an album expressing the stories Jazmine heard from women about love, self discovery and heartbreak. If you've heard the song Mascara from an older album, this album is like an expansion on the themes in Mascara. You could even look at The Other Side as Mascara pt.2.
Mascara one of my favorites and I agree about the other side could be a pt2 to the other side
There’s also Famous from an even older album! Seems been talking about this stuff for a long time
I love your dad’s passionate attention and appreciation for artists❤😢
Yes!! He has such a good ear!
Y’all NEED to listen to Durand Bernarr’s Tiny Desk, it is quite possibly the best male vocalist they have ever showcased and it is phenomenal!!
YESSSSS
This this this
Yessss I was thinking the same thing!!!!
HEAR HEAR and another. Earlier today I wrote the same.
❤❤❤
I can listen to him, just hard to watch.
Jazmine is not only an amazing performer but she also wrote great tunes for other famous artists. If I can recommend another Tiny Desk that you would enjoy it's Yebba. A lot of people are fantasizing about a collab between Jazmine and Yebba because they are both amazing Live.
Yesssss !!! I listen to Yebbas tiny desk almost everyday. It was better than jazmins 😅😩😭😭😭
@@brejohnson6532you’re reaching
Yebba’s tiny desk yes, but if you react to one Yebba song it has to be “My Mind” at SoFar in nyc
@@brejohnson6532I hate comparisons
Jazmine, Yebba and H.E.R. are absolutely hands down in my opinion the top 3 Tiny Desks ever made. Literally in any order!
I played this sooooo many time during Covid. I discovered Jazmine in college and initially thought she sounded like Lauryn Hill in her prime, but Jazmines sound is truly all her own. Her throat is anointed!!!
She sadly lost her mom and grandma recently so send her all the positive energy! 🫶🏾
back in her Seasons 2 Love era i thought the same

same. i think that was the one album I played consistently all year round. I'm gonna go back to listening to it religiously
Your DAD is for sure an EMPATH like me I just feel all the EMOTIONS and PAIN in her songs and it makes me tear up and cry too ❤
Jazmine Sullivan's live performances are unmatched. She has such a unique and wonderful delivery.
Him tearing up to the part where the adlibs are “imma go get my ass done” 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭 he’s too cute 😭😭
So happy you’ve done this. You definitely need to see the lock up your pieces performance live. Also, Chloe and Halle’s Tiny Desk is so wonderful. Please react!
Yes Chloe and Halle one is so good
I was literally about comment thissss
Yesss pls do this
Yassssss!!!
Absolutely! It was iconic
Listen to this Tiny Desk every few months. Another UNBELIEVABLE tiny desk is from Chloe and Halle. I don’t even listen to their music and I loved it.
What I came to say!
I second this!
thirded! their vocal technique is incredible, and their harmonies are heavenly. bonus you can see why chloe spent the past few years as a dynamic solo pop star and halle as an ethereal disney princess
Same
Exactly! Two of the best Tiny Desk Concerts I’ve heard.
Jazmine Sullivan is the greatest living vocalist!!!!! Thanks for finally reacting to this! 😊
I luv me some jazzy🎉🎉🎉I can listen to her for days and not get tired but I won't say she's the greatest living. Come on , but to each there own.

😭😂
😂😂 factsss. I love how he didn't even see Dad crying at first.
The dad's reactions are so pure. Him crying was so touching!!!!
Love You Jazmine Sullivan!!!❤❤❤
I love love how dad connects to the music and has such empathy. He is the kinda person i am motivated by to keep writing
I love Jazmine down!!! Ugh so good to see you all cover this.
Tori Kelly, her live performances are just as dynamic because she came up very similarly, performing from a very young age, etc. Vocal runs fall effortlessly out the throats of both ladies. Absolutely beautiful!
I feel the same way about these two. Vocals that reverberate your soul. They should definitely react to Tori Kelly as well.
I'm so glad you enjoyed her Tiny Desk. Since you enjoyed her vocal range so much, another performance that I think really shows a great range and it's also a Tiny Desk, is the one for Durand Bernarr. He's fairly... eclectic, I guess is a good word, but the creativity pours from him and he puts on an absolutely fabulous show, him and his musicians and background singers.
agreed!
They should do this one asap! I was blown away ❤
And Yebba
Durand definitely was good
Durand, the band, and the BGV ate Tiny Desk completely up!
Oh man, I wish y’all did the Pick Up Your Feelings acoustic version 😭 it is PERFECTION. Shows her pure talent!
They should review the HBO concert...❤
The HBO concert was absolute perfection too!!!
Acoustic one for sure ❤
This is literally my favorite live video of all time
You really don't appreciate Jazmine Sullivan until you hear this Tiny Desk. Her vocal range and control is INSANE! After you listen to this version, you don't even want to listen to her actual album. This live performance was INSANE. WOW!
Who dont??? 😭😭 if yall youtube her deep cuts from 2008??? Listen...
I remember when The Lost Ones dropped. I was so ready for the Heaux Tales album. Jazmine Sullivan to me releases music at the perfect time, every time.
Jazmine and HER are the best ones and their songs always describe my life at the time
Omg same that song put me my in feelings lol
She is the epitome of our generation’s Phyllis Hyman…lyrically and musically.. she sings depths from the lowest points in life that make you ‘soul cry’, to the joys of love and life…absolutely Devine…❤
we have to really recognize and pay homage to her background singers they are top-tier!
Yes!
On the other side background vocals tho❤❤❤
I, too, shed tears listening to Jazmine sing about getting a BBL and trapping a rapper.
😭😭😭
Screaming 😂
😂😂😂😂
Lmfaooooo
She’s just that good tbh
I totally relate to dad getting emotional over the feel of the song regardless of the actual lyrics because it happens to me all the time.. like why am I getting choked up?? 💖 love this channel
I'm so glad you got a chance to sit down and experience Jazmin Sullivan she's my favorite singer of all time. The first reaction hurt 😂. She is amazing not only vocally and lyrically but also in her chocies of sounds and textures along with the placement. For me she is unmmached.
I am so touched by your dad’s reaction to Jazmine’s voice. She recently lost her mother.. I hope she sees this and gets a little bit of joy. Love the channel! Can’t wait for the Beyoncé reactions 👌🏾✨
Been a fan since “Need U Bad” so glad she finally getting her flowers now ❤ I love you guy’s genuine reaction.
I'm so late to this video. I had been hoping you'd get around see her Tiny Desk show. I hope you look up Jazmine's performance of "Home" from The Wiz. She's 10 or 11. The funny thing is that Questlove mentioned that exact performance in an podcast interview he did with Sam Fragoso (A Celebration of Soul, 6 Feb 2022). He was describing how he started having jam sessions at his home in Philly and his neighbour told him how this 10-year old sang like an an adult (35:40). When you see the video, you'll understand. It's a crazy powerful performance!! In the bubble that gave us the Roots, Jill Scott, India Arie, and Eryka Badu, little Jazmine Sullivan was there taking in the view.I thought you'd like to know that.
We watched and reacted to her wonderful Wiz performance on our Patreon in case you’re interested. Thank you for checking out this Tiny Desk reaction - simply brilliant. - Kai’s dad
The Other Side is definitely my favorite song from the album! So amazing to see your dad feel the emotion of the song.
I’m so glad you covered this. Dad is right. No one can really cover her, but the song I find real singers…everyone’s favourite singers love to cover is “In Love with another man.” That and Mona Lisa are worth listening to on the channel. You’ve also mentioned Pick Up Your Feelings and all the live performances are different for that one.
You have to watch the video of her singing a song from The Wiz at talent show when she was a kid! Puts me in tears everytime! For someone that young to have the voice she had back then is absolutely amazing! I think the audience thought she was lip syncing to it before realizing it was really her and got into it, which makes the video even better. She is truly one of the vocal greats, I’m a big fan!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My all time favorite video
Ugh i love Jazmine Sullivan praise, she deserves it so much more attention. She is beyond talented.
I’m so glad you noticed the incredible back up vocals. SKILLZ people. Love it to the ground and back
I love your dad, he’s so kind and empathetic i love him❤
Jazmine Sullivan’s acoutic version of Pick Up Your Feelings is masterful. She also has a song called Masterpiece which is amazing. She’s one of the most underrated artists/vocalists.
I think your dad would enjoy Ari Lennox. She has a new song called Get Close w/a music video. Lots of beautiful songs in her discography though with some humor in her lyrics too. She's a gem
I love Jasmine and especially this album Heaux Tales Mo'Tales. She introduced a new way of expressing some women feelings about love and life through music. Almost like having real conversations with your best friend about situations that have happened in your life. Where you express yourself freely and not using words to insinuate the situation, she basically sings what happened and her real thoughts. I can see where some people cant relate to the lyrics but her songs are real life situations. Its a very creative way of getting her lyrics out but entertaining you with the music even if you personally dont relate to words of her songs. Amazing if you ask me. 😊
I love that Jazmine makes Dad emotional. I have the same reaction to her. Her voice and lyrics are Brilliant! ❤
I LOVED this. Jazmine is hands down my favorite tiny desk video and artist/vocalist/etc. But I will say I think y'all would like Yebba's Tiny Desk just as much. Her range and textures, etc. are really good and the songwriting is incredible. If you do listen, Dad keep tissues close by because it could be emotional.
💯💯
Yes absolutely love Yebba tiny desk!!!
Omg he CRIED!!! I love seeing ppl genuinely react to jazz the first time don’t feel bad dad she does it to us ALL ❤ I love it
I love I love that she wrote let it burn for the love between her parents! She recently lost her mom, I hope she continues to perform it, it’s such a feel good fun track about love. 💕
And she lost her grandmother recently too 😢
I just LOVE the both of your reactions. Jazmine is my FAVORITE and NO, there is NO ONE that can do her songs like this. She one of a kind. This shows how universal music is. Keep rocking on gents!!! 🙌🏽🙏🏽✊🏽
What I think I love about Jazmine which I think she showed in Lost Ones is sometimes the Background will sing the main vocals and she does the ad libs which allows her the freedom to go balls to the wall and impress us all.
Sidenote: I saw Jazmine at The Phoenix in Toronto in 2015. AMAZING 🤩 10/10 Would recommend
I saw her in Philly before she came out mainstream and was astounded. Philly has some of the best talent unlike anything you will find anywhere else ❤
❤❤❤❤👍🏼
Thank you!
I fell in love with her through watching this 2 years ago. I was going through a hectic breakup and my ex left me because I lacked drive. “The other side” made me so emotional for some reason because all I’ve done was work and I’ve never asked anybody for anything and to have someone leave me because “I had no drive” baffled me. I was and still am such a hard worker, and yes I might not be working a job of my dreams but I make sure that I make the most of the job I have. I am constantly getting promoted and that’s definitely not due to a lack of drive.
Anyway the reason I love “The other side” is because it’s about a girl who’s worked hard and just wants a break, a girl who just wants to be taken care of for once. I felt that way during this period.
Hi. Relationships are about COMMUNICATION. The fact that you didn't understand means he was talking BS and tried to hurt. Don't beat yourself up.
She’s one of, if not the most vocally complex singers of today’s music. Not only is her writing insane, but she tells a story even with just the tone of her voice. I really hope you two listen to In Love With Another Man and I think you may like the recorded version of Let it Burn.
Jazmine is one of the GOATS - right up there with Lalah Hathaway. She blows me away as she progresses with her talent!
The Dad is so cute getting touched by Jazmine’s singing. She has been singing like that since childhood. She is the gold standard. Google Jazmine Sullivan at 11 y/o and hear her as a child. God blessed that one!
I would love to see Jazmine Sullivan and Brandy do a duo. They both have those unique raspy voices and so much depth and layers in their tone. The theatrical side of Jazmine in Lions, Tigers and Bears can go side by side with the Cinderella version of Brandy. Both ladies are incredibly talented!!! If you haven't seen it already, please check out the video of 13 year old Jazmine singing at the Apollo, her voice was mature even then.
Two artist playing back and forth off each other with runs and rifts is definitely intentional!!! It’s very popular in R&B and gospel! They did it perfectly!
After seeing Jazmine Sullivan Tiny Desk, it immediately made me think of Durand Bernarr’s Tiny Desk. Please do his. Durand, his BGV, and band all were musical perfection. Also, he is a longtime background vocalist for Erykah Badu and grew up with his father playing instruments for Earth, Wind, and Fire. His talent and what he’s able to do with his voice is on another level, just like Jazmine’s.
I saw her live at the House of Blues in Dallas and there is just such an amazing spirit off of her that is just... insane in person. I just cry every time so I get your dads emotion lol we grooved and danced and cried in the audience the whole time! I love that she turned "Lost Ones" into a praise and worship song lol
I still can't believe that someone can actually sound like this, every time I hear her voice. 🙌🏾 It's like she's turned singing into a science and she MASTERED it (no pun intended). ❤❤❤❤
Do her Acoustic live of Pick Up Your Feelings next please! Jazmine is the best hands down while at the same time being underrated.
I saw her in Atlanta in October 2022 and I was in tears and shaking with emotion. She is so amazing live! And she had just gotten bad news about her mother's healthand was taking some time off, so it was very special. The whole crowd prayed for her as she got emotional.
Your explanation of the song she did with H.E.R. was on point. it expresses the collective feelings of women and more significantly black women and the ideals of society and navigating love and ones own sense of self. As a black woman I personally loved this song the most.
When your dad closes his eyes and listens to her scat and then smiles ❤😊
What a great observation by yall on the last song "heaux like me". I felt the same way when I first heard it and it seemed as though Jasmine and HER vocally didn't mesh well together on the song. But... when I look at it in the perspective like you guys talked about it makes more sense. Anywho I was super excited to see you reviewed Jasmine's tiny desk. Great job!
Edit: another thing I felt and literally seen it come over your Dad at 15:49 is that the content of the song was lost on me and unrelatable, but the vibe and emotion behind it couldn't be missed. Other side made me super emotional although the lyrics were, dare I say, superficial and hilarious. I told my Husband I almost wished the lyrics were about something else because the heart strings being pulled on in that song was unmistakable.
Jazmine has been singing since she was like 8 years old. At this point she is giving the world the vocal genius she has and continues to become. I am in awe of her voice and she deserves so many flowers. ❤❤
My morning has been made! I’m so grateful to see you guys share this connection with the people who were captivated by this performance ❤
Good morning!
I want to say,your son loves music the way you loved music back in your day and. And this is truly a gift you inspired in him so I appreciate you both for showing 💗
If your dad is into jazz, you should check out her cover of a song called Round Midnight. She did it twice. One over a decade ago and again in 2022 with an artist named Adam Blackstone. They have 2 different feels and the newer one was jaw dropping!
Sis really out here doing vocal gymnastics 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️Jazzy out givin us musical life
I seen this video and went to the “Lions, Tigers, and bears” reaction to watch that one first, and this one next. It’s very touching to see someone that’s not of the culture appreciate (and even moved to tears by) a gem such as Jazmine Sullivan, who has been overlooked and under-appreciated. I love your raw, honest, reaction, and you have gained a new subscriber! Much love! ❤️🙌🏾
The runs, the scatting, Jazmine is truly one of the best singers out there
I'm so glad y'all covered her again because I LOVE JAZMINE!! She doesn't get nearly enough credit for what she's able to do with her voice.
Dad is so gassed and I'm loving it❤😂😂😂
Jazmine Sullivan has been under rated for decades! She is one of the best singers out there!
If y’all saw her performance of “Home” from The Wiz from age 12 (?) you’d be stunned. How a child that young can have such control of their voice is amazing
I still randomly listen to her national anthem at the Phillies game
There is only ONE Jazmine Sullivan! Be clear. Her range, tone, vocal choices, etc are UNMATCHED! And seeing her live is such a treat!
Thank you so much for the patreon invite ! It was my first time and I enjoyed it a great deal 😊😊
You are so welcome! Thank you ✌🏻
I am OBSESSED with this album! I love all of Jazmine's stuff but this was THE album and I was so happy when I got to see her live a couple years ago and sing these songs live!
I thank God she won a Grammy for this! Jazmine deserves her flowers NEOW! Been deserved it if we being honest.
This has got be one of my favorite videos I’ve seen in months. Your dad being touched so deeply by her talent!? That tells me she isn’t recognized enough. If HE hears it and can get this emotional imagine what could happen to others that get to know her music?? Really my favorite video in so so so long.
I suggested Joe the singer and I’m sure he’s coming but after watching this. Another male singer popped into mind that I think you would 100% enjoy. Early Musiq Soulchild. He’s an absolute beast too the song “Love”
Funny enough yesterday we reacted to two Joe tracks, so expect that soon ✌🏻
She’s my favorite female singer of all time… I honestly think no one on this earth can compete with her toe to toe
When your dad started crying at min 17, I totally understood why. My husband laughs at me every time I cry to a song, because he instantly knows that I must really love everything about the song. The first song I ever cried to because I loved it so much was "men in black" by Will Smith. 😂😂😂😂. I freaking love everything about that song. And I cried to a fetty wap song after that 😂. Over the years I have cried a lot more, but its not often a song steals my heart so much to bring me to tears. If a song can make me cry with excitement, thats how I know its a really great song.
You guys would love ‘Sometimes I feel like a motherless child’ - Jazmin Sullivan.
I simply am mesmerized and joyful with your videos. The joy is a father and son relating to the same art is so inspiring. Dad’s love of Diana Ross insures that Kai is learning the true classic ICONS. Jazmine and “Hoe Tales” was one of my favorite albums for 2021! So clever, so funny and the music is right on point. Jazmine is an excellent writer as well. Another artist touched by Clive Davis, who I had the honor and luck to be a music mentor when I was a decades long Arista guy.
What I love about Jazmine is her ability to make such relatable, realistic and intimate music. She sings about things every day people experience - whether it's struggling to let go of someone who doesn't deserve you, or dreaming about money and fame because you never had anything growing up, she just makes you feel like you're singing your feelings out vs singing a perfectly written song. It's always so raw, always so intimate.
Jazmine Sullivan is the GOAT. Y’all should watch the video of her singing “Home” from the Wiz at ELEVEN years old. So much damn talent.
15:46 😂😂😂😅 “ fuck a day job. I want a big house in the city. Get my ass done”. lmfao.
I love when dad gets in his feelings 🥹 Lost One makes me cry too! I love me some Jazmine
My reaction to her vocal presentation is that her voice is a pure illustration of its use as a musical instrument. Just amazing what she is doing. She “plays” in a way that makes the outcomes beautiful gifts of magic she bestows on us. Her live performance is outstanding.
Her song writing is top tier. She's so funny and thoughtful. Love Jasmine.
