Mahalia is somewhere down in her soul.....because she sounds so much like her!
Ann Nesby is iconic for those who know her work. No one could have done this like Ann. She has Mahalia's movements mastered
Mahalia Jackson is proud
Wow, she even looked like her with the hair, pink 👗 and that voice did it
Dead on
She ROCKED this!
Indeed
Such an underrated performer
I have the honor of singing this for black history month!!! I’m excited to honor Mahalia Jackson!!! 🙏🏾❤️
Mahalia would be so proud!! This woman is singing from the depth of her soul!
Yes she would!
@@andreaharkless8735 and with Joshua Nelson!!! Check him out!!!
Amen
Amen yes
Mahalia is the teacher! Ann is the student ! Mahalia was her mentor ! She did this song so much justice ! Mahalia is smiling down at her with so much love & pride !! She’s saying good job darling 😘🥰❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
YOU MAY SAY THAT AGAIN!!! SHE SOUND JUST LIKE
"ANN MAHALIA JACKSON
Her performance as Mahalia is spot on!Sounds identical as Imitation of Life.
RECKONING SOUL'S ... AMEN LOVE THE VOICE
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who felt this way.
AMEN
I knew she can sing but she sang this song I didn't know she was this fabulous as a performer she can wail the song out her gut so much like Mahalia Jackson excellent excellent excellent no one can get this better than you woman of God
Gary Spencer I don’t think it’s identical
But she is channeling her
Mahalia is somewhere in Heaven shouting to this. My God what a spirit filled performance!!!!!!!!
I played this for my mom who is in a nursing facility due to aneurysm. She's paralyzed on one side and can't talk much. Thank God no life support or pain. But her reaction to seeing this is food for my soul. Thank you Ann.
She's got Mahalia down pack. From the mannerisms to the annointance to finish . I know for sure she is the perfect soul to play Mahalia Jackson.
This is wholly the most superb rendition and she has not only the voice but beautiful immense presence and gravitas to sing this song. I connect and believe..her delivery of th sentiments and feeling of this song. As a Director myself on artistic grounds, I would have cast Ann Nesby as Mahalia in heartbeat .
Jesus Christ, when she started this song it was like going back in time. 5 years old, standing next to my grandmother in the kitchen. The window open, watching her cook, this song playing in the background. I got chills.
Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus this is proof of you father God. There is no power like yours than can even be felt in the midst of a song. I'm sitting here crying and my mama is still alive! Lord you prove yourself to me again and again. Thank You Lord. Annoint my voice and my soul for your purpose. I am available God...
I luv this song and Mahalia Jackson was my grannies favorite gospel singer rip to both of u wonderful women (grannie & Mahalia)
Amen and Amen she made me weep just like Mahalia would when listing to her. 🙏🤓
I would have been all over that stage praising Him.
It might have started out as a performance, but then Holy Spirit stepped in and Ann Nesby allowed the Anointing to sang this song. Blessing Me! ⚘🎵🎶🎵⚘
damn she sound like jackson and give me chills, this Woman know she done put this song on the MAP!
Such a magical voice, Ms. Ann Nesby you are so amazing, if anyone sangs like Ms.
Mahalia Jackson it's most definitely you. If I didn't know any better I sho'nuff would have
thought you were her singing...you just killed it.!!!..CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Wow sound like her look like her .Beautiful and Amazing .Thanks
Wow I thought only one person could sing this song perfectly. Now theres two Mrs. Mahalia & Mrs. Nesby. Thank you ❤
Perfection I'm so impress she can Sang anyway !!! I sing it pretty good myself.
They aint ready for Mrs. Nesby, they cant handle a voice so powerful!
U see how elegant and gracefully she moved. God is taking her to a higher level. We love you Ann Nesby #1
God and the spirit of Mahalia were taking her to a higher level. I remember seeing her do an impersonation of Mahalia in an interview on TBN some years back and she was superb then. Quite a few women have starred as the original Queen of Gospel in this show and they were nice but that essence of Mahalia just wasn't there. They might as well have made a concert out of Mahalia's greatest hits. But when the announcement came that Ms.Ann was starring as her, Mahalia herself, told God in heaven "NOW THAT'S THE ONE!'
Geraldine Fuller I let you tell it this women is extra
Mahalia moved around the stage like that. She has her poise as well. Job well done Sis. Ann
Takes me back many years ago to hearing my own grandmama singing at a Sunday evening “gospel sing” at one of the many local churches in her small town of Hurtsboro, Alabama.
Lord have mercy.... 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This here will be all over with. I'm going home
When I tell you!!! This woman is beyond underrated !!! If Ann doesn’t sound just like Mahalia!!! I was already a big fan,now even more so!!!
She should have sang this at Aretha’s homegoing!!!
TYJAH Khan ~ I AGREE (on both counts) !! I’m sure Aretha’s family didn’t know about This woman 👏🏽
TYJAH... Right in the place of that Adriana Girl. This would have been so bomb!! It would have been the right song For Aretha Franklin!🙏🏽👏🏾👏🏾
Yes Lord, u right. She should have song this. Have mercy LORD
Yes Lord🙏🏾
@@Netbe277 "AMEN"👏🏾👏🏾
I would've had a Baptist fit lol... Saannngggg. I try not to cry when listening to this.
she sang that song truly.
OMG! You better sang it! Tears flowing
She did this song great justice. God bless Ann and Mahalia!
THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL GOSPEL SINGING, SOME OF THE STUFF THEY SING NOWDAYS, I DONT KNOW WHAT TO CALL IT
Amen
Tell'em again!!!!
The stuff today has no soul
4:00-4:15 was SERIOUS... She went out of character and just was praising the Lord!! Yesssss
Slayyyyed!!! When she said said TO SEE MY MUHHVAHH!! Oooo lawdy!!! Yessss!!!!! She have me too many chills!!!
She could play in a movie as Mahalia like the real one day just the way she dress and Her Style
Wow! It's like Mahalia Jackson was singing through her! Powerful! Spiritual! Soulful!
yes!
Thinking the same thing
Whew, Ms. Ann sang that song!
No one has Mahalia's pipes, but Ann is the best person to play her!
This is one of my favorites by Mahalia Jackson. My mom passed 3 years ago the pastor's wife (First Lady Rose Jarrett) song this song for the family, it was so beautiful and my sister's and I was able to hold it together. I'm glad I recorded it on my phone. R.I.P Mahalia Jackson and my mom Sadie Smith.😥😥😥
I have seen few people do this song real justice and she is one of them. I have always loved her soulful voice....but after this performance i am seriously in love with her gift. She really blessed me with this performance.
She should do the movie. NOBODY would do it like Mrs. Ann Nesby and Ms. Paris Bennett.
That was a blessing. She did Mahalia proud and most importantly praised the name of God.
church didn't know what hit em! The Spirit of God is in the house!
This needs a Grammy
To this day when Mahilia Jackson starts sing 😭😭 time to change the channels Rest in Peace Ms.Jackson
Anne Nesby did this classic justice. Tears came to my eyes because this was my mom favorite song and Imitation of Life (remake 1959) was my mom's favorite movie. I used to watch it with her during the holidays growing up. Anne Nesby is a singing lady. Has a voice that can touch anyone's soul.
I love Ann Nesby and her version is beautiful. However, just imagine, Mahalia’s version was even better! Both of these ladies can sing!
I also love Ann Nesby's voice she's also a great Gospel singer
This makes me think about the last part of An Imitation of Life....What a performance Ann...well done.
Wow and wow again. Pure gospel. to inspire.Thank you Ann Nesby.
Wow! I wish Ann Neaby would make a CD of these powerful gospels!!
I totally agree
WOW 😳
OMG SHE HAS IT GOING NOW !!!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Got that strong voice like Mahalia. The kinda voice that can reach in a person's spirit and shake the inner core!
So So So GOOD!🎙️👏😭
Ah! Those bass notes🎹🎻🎸 Glory to GOD
❣️😃🕊️🔥✝️
Chillsssssss all over me!!! 😭😭🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
omg just found this wonderful wonderful Mahalia would be proud i am sure of that .
David Doyle amen
David certainly not a Mahalia would be she is a Ann Nesby August 25,2020
Loved her since day one hearing her with the Sounds Of Blackness
She is amazing! She and Jennifer Holiday can embody Malhalia. I saw Jennifer in Si g Malhalia Sing in 1985 and it was beyond wonderful. Ann can definitely do that play as well.
My heart is simply Moved!!! ♥️Hearing Ann Nesby song interpretation of " Soon it will be done.. Trouble's of this World"🎶🎶🎶🎶MahaliaJackson is alive on stage!👌♥️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😊😍
Lord she got me in tears.
😢😢🙏🙏🙏
I used to play this for my mom in the nursing home all of the time. Well I since lost my mother to covid 19 in May. I couldn't even see her at all. The worst experience of mt life. And now hearing her sing this reaches to my inner core. Especially the part about wanting to see my mother. I'm ready to go home and see my mother.
Sorry about your loss-May God and the ancestors continue to watch over your family during this time of sorrow
Wow! My God! Her performance has me in tears. My God, My God what a powerful performance!
Wow!!! Love Ann Nesby! She killed this!
WATCHING ANN NESBY SING THIS SONG I JUST OFTEN WONDER WHEN MY GOD WHEN WILL WE AS A BLACK PEOPLE AND A PRAYING PEOPLE LEARN OURSELVES AND SEE WHO WE ARE????? WHEN O LORD WHEN???? TEARS FLOWING FROM MY EYES.......WHEN WILL MY PEOPLE CHANGE AND WAKE UP😢😧😢😢
Amen. All in DIVINE timing loved one. Peace and Blessings to you and your loved ones.
😢😢🙏🙏🙏
OMG, OMG this is so on point, God has blessed you with a voice that ministers to soul. Couldn't watch with dry eyes! OMG!
How I missed this I don’t know what a beautiful rendition of such a great artist Mahalia Jackson Ms Nesbit you were simply awesome I had to blink to make sure it wasn’t Mahalia Jackson BLESSINGS ABOUND

I’m weeping right now. This is reminds me of my beautiful mum....before she passed when she would sing . Her voice could be heard at every corner of that big old church. With no music ...no microphone....so beautiful, thank you for posting this.
I am truly blessed by this. God bless you .....and Ann Nesby’s beautiful voice 🙏🏽❤️

Yes, my God. My favorite song. Ann Nesby, you did the song justice and you caught the tone, along with the essence of Mahalia's voice. Awesome voice.

Thank you Mrs. Nesby for singing this song.
MASTERPIECE.
Ann Nesby is the real deal for me, in the same vein as Queen Aretha, they sing from the soul of humanity itself, desolate and haunting. I cannot think of a singer other than Aretha who moves me more than Nesby. She has a beautiful distinct sound, a beautiful tone and haunting resonance... 99.9% of other singer trail in hers and Aretha's wake, they just have a special gift from god and emote through song in a way that others cannot do no matter the size or range of their voices.
i love her voice, sing ms Nesby sing
I felt Mahalia through this performance
She feature Mahalia Jackson she can sing good Mahalia will be proud
Everytime I hear this song it brings joy to my heart and tears to my eyes one of the best gospel songs of all times
Powerful...Powerful...
She captured the essence's of Mahalia.
Lord have mercy!!!! You betta sang miss Ann
