At 7:58 she sings an F#4 in clear, controlled tone. I don't know what you kids want. She has a natural raspy voice-most of us (you) have tried to sound/sing like her for the past two decades, don't unleash all your hate now that you or others may have perfected which she initiated. I prefer more melody, pero, this performance doesn't warrant the hatefulness I've read. You should pray you sound as well as she does at her age and rate of singing.... from alto to soprano, I love her technique.
J Hoard me too ,nobody like Kim got an lot of imitators but shes one of an kind the originator of her own sound I pray that her boldness in her gospel be rewarded in heaven I stand with her she only spoke the world of God not in hate keep preaching truth pastor Burrell .
I don't know what everyone else is talking about Kim delivered very well for someone who was reading the words her voice was beautiful as usual so Kim yes standing ovation
whew...Kim Burrell!! the quintessential example of vocal prowess....a vocal beast. She absolutely killed that performance....I was blessed and awed at the same time. And she looks great!
As Kim Burrell becomes more popular, she gets more haters but she has come too far to be pulled down by them. Its like stealing a hundred from a millionaire.
This ministered to me in a way beyond what words can describe... The words alone touches me deep in my soul. AMAAAAAAAAAAZING KIM!!!! It clear that she read the words, however it is evident that what she was saying followed from a sincere place. Anointed and done in a way that only Ms. Kim can do. Love love loved this!!!! Tears...
knowing kim personally for many years now, i have seen her look a mess at times lol but to be completely honest i was very satisfied with choices. her makeup was on point and beautiful, her outfit was beautiful and complimented her body very well, i loved it!!!!! and the hair was actually done lol, and yes reading the words was foolish but understandable, we will all have a moment when we want that extra support to be sure, idc how good you are , and she sounded great!
I see a lot of y'all cussing, saying she was reading the words and so forth. the composer(Yolanda Adams) of the song enjoyed the performance, so all of yall comments are irrelevant. Stop criticizing and appreciate, spectactors are always to judge if any of you are able to outshine her performance, then get on bet, essence festival, Sunday's best, bmi awards and perform. Until then, keep y'all filthy negative remarks to yourselves.
Great tribute. Also that sweet little angel and puddin' sittin' behnd her with the pink bow gave me lots of joy. Babies are the best - the bright lights of the world.
I can't believe this video has this many negative comments. This lady's singing is amazing. Stop being so critical you guys! She's not a robot so she's going to make mistakes. If you can't sing at least half as good as her then you should think about keeping the traps closed. IJS
I have to say this.....EVERYONE....and I MEAN EVERYONE on stage during this LIVE PERFORMANCE are TRUE MUSICIANS....it takes skill to Follow a soloist and allow the music to take on the shape it needs....this was a TRUE LIVE PERFORMANCE...SANG KIM
Exceptional, considering she doesn't know the words..she's reading them from the monitor on the floor..I'm always amazed at the artistry when one is singing a song they haven't memorized but yet are able to slay it.
Anybody in their right mind could tell she wasn't at her best but nevertheless she killed!! I'm sure her voice was tired! she probably had been singing all that week but still belted them notes😜👇🏾Yall need to stop hating, her gift speaks for herself! She could never be overrated, more like underrated!! #Houston #TeamKim
Yes, yes! Yolanda Adams has widely done alot, all because of God opening her doors, and her saying, "Yes, I'll do it." My Uncle that passed away used to back up sing for her in Houston (in the 80's) and her days of singing in "The SE Inspirational Choir."
i love Kim Burrell, and she sounded great. I would suggest that for a tribute, preparation is also a form of honor, and for a song so powerful, it was distracting to know the song, but hear her struggling *nicely* around the verses. Yes, she put her own spin on it, but it was obvious she was holding on to reading those words for dear life.
I love Yolanda. Mountain High...Valley Low is a favorite. Kim...really? Do you even know her songs? You read lyrics off the screen. I only know about you because of Whitney. I am sure you were her friend. God bless. Wash of the temporary fame.
People have the right to dislike this performance. I thought it was rather underwhelming from someone who tries to tout themselves as the "Voice" and "HBIC" lol BUT I think some of the comments go way overboard. Folks will cut up when their favorite song is messed up by someone. hah
She just needs vocal rest. She's always constantly singing at some church, or event or anywhere. Never gets a chance to rest. Life of a perfomer/pastor/minister I guess. Always on the go..
No she's always been raspy from the age of 17 look her up her voice has always sounded like that but she can still hit a higher range that will blow you out your socks so don't take it for granted
So many runs, in so many spots, I wish she would've kept it simple like Yolanda did. Her voice and tone are already unique the simpleness would've brought more feeling and meaning to the song, but instead all the runs just have you lost. But it was still a coo performance.
I agree. Too many of today's singers are obsessed with "runs" which are really called "melisma's" to those who have studied music. To me, runs are sloppy, imprecise substitutes for articulating the notes carefully and well----like all the old-time singers used to do. They distract from the song and are just plain annoying.
I will say, its a huge testament to her ability to be able to deliver such a powerful performance while reading the worlds. Just my opinion
The One And Only Ms. Kim Burrell Nice Tribute To Yolanda!!!!!
Her trying to figure out how to come in at 8:33 was so cute and adorable! LOL Excellent job!!!
At 7:58 she sings an F#4 in clear, controlled tone. I don't know what you kids want.

😂
exactly. she did a great job no and if or buts. her voice is naturally raspy and she has definitely over the years gained some range
+J Hoard EXACTLY!!!!!!
J Hoard me too ,nobody like Kim got an lot of imitators but shes one of an kind the originator of her own sound I pray that her boldness in her gospel be rewarded in heaven I stand with her she only spoke the world of God not in hate keep preaching truth pastor Burrell .

whew...Kim Burrell!! the quintessential example of vocal prowess....a vocal beast. She absolutely killed that performance....I was blessed and awed at the same time. And she looks great!

Beautiful! In a world of monotones Ms Kim Burrell has the all natural ability to put all new music to shame....respect the greats...she's one of them.
Kim never disappoints ! That voice of hers is .... AMAZING

Trenton Cruz How the hell is kim Burrell not a good singer?
Trenton Cruz How the hell is kim Burrell not a good singer?
Trenton Cruz you’re delusional
Everything she does is beautiful & deliberate! Singing genius this woman!!!!
As Kim Burrell becomes more popular, she gets more haters but she has come too far to be pulled down by them.
Its like stealing a hundred from a millionaire.
I love Kim Burrell she is my favorite gospel singer
Her runs and riffs ! Woah !
You see the way Kim ran back to the stage? She probably realized she was moving too slow. She never misses her cue. Gotta love her. 😂😂
Runs and riffs are HER style. She sounds like her self.. that's what she wanted. She can sing straight but she sings what she feels..
Omg I love how she sings...I tear up ever time
These words spoken are so very profound and a must share! Keep working for the Lord Sisters Burrell & Adams!
I Love The Meaning Of This Beautiful Song !
Nice,
This ministered to me in a way beyond what words can describe... The words alone touches me deep in my soul. AMAAAAAAAAAAZING KIM!!!! It clear that she read the words, however it is evident that what she was saying followed from a sincere place. Anointed and done in a way that only Ms. Kim can do. Love love loved this!!!! Tears...
I love this song.I think folks feel obligated to say Kim sings everything beautifully.
Sing Kim. Just beautiful with the runs that come naturally to you. You uplift the spirit. Thank you.

Outstanding !!!! Amazing !!!! Tears !!!!

Very nice! Kim always seem to speak strong words of encouragement to her friends. I like the way she ran back on stage. 😂
knowing kim personally for many years now, i have seen her look a mess at times lol but to be completely honest i was very satisfied with choices.
her makeup was on point and beautiful, her outfit was beautiful and complimented her body very well, i loved it!!!!! and the hair was actually done lol, and yes reading the words was foolish but understandable, we will all have a moment when we want that extra support to be sure, idc how good you are , and she sounded great!

An amazing presentation to Yolanda from Kim. I love them both and I thank God for them.
Why are people sooo mean? Ugh..irks my spirit! Anyway, I enjoyed being able to see this performance; as usual, Kim brought me to tears.
She never more beautiful looking Good ms. Burrell
Kim looks beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
was I the only 1 thinking "Stop reading and sing already!"
I see a lot of y'all cussing, saying she was reading the words and so forth. the composer(Yolanda Adams) of the song enjoyed the performance, so all of yall comments are irrelevant. Stop criticizing and appreciate, spectactors are always to judge if any of you are able to outshine her performance, then get on bet, essence festival, Sunday's best, bmi awards and perform.

Great tribute. Also that sweet little angel and puddin' sittin' behnd her with the pink bow gave me lots of joy. Babies are the best - the bright lights of the world.
kim and Yolanda are 2 legend girls for me
Walter Stocker Kim Burrell is not in the same league as The Great Yolanda Adams!
It makes it much more special when artist take time to learn the song of the artist that they are honoring and not reading the words from the screen.
what a blessing this morning, I rise from everything is trying to let me down.
I love Kim Burrell and yolanda Adams, two of my favs.
Sing!!!! Kim Burrell!! The part knowing God is able to strengthen me is wow!!!!
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Bravo 👏 👏 👏 Soulful,meaningful,professional,yalonda Adams Deserved it💯💯💯💯Great Job queens💙

I can't believe this video has this many negative comments. This lady's singing is amazing. Stop being so critical you guys! She's not a robot so she's going to make mistakes. If you can't sing at least half as good as her then you should think about keeping the traps closed. IJS

Kim Burrell can't help herself but to riff
Yes, yes! Yolanda Adams has widely done alot, all because of God opening her doors, and her saying, "Yes, I'll do it." My Uncle that passed away used to back up sing for her in Houston (in the 80's) and her days of singing in "The SE Inspirational Choir."
Kim Burrell is my idol lol

Thank you better than me any day
She just needs vocal rest. She's always constantly singing at some church, or event or anywhere. Never gets a chance to rest. Life of a perfomer/pastor/minister I guess. Always on the go..
No she's always been raspy from the age of 17 look her up her voice has always sounded like that but she can still hit a higher range that will blow you out your socks so don't take it for granted
I actually like this performance , her not knowing the words made her have to read them and do less at times where she would've did too much
So many runs, in so many spots, I wish she would've kept it simple like Yolanda did. Her voice and tone are already unique the simpleness would've brought more feeling and meaning to the song, but instead all the runs just have you lost. But it was still a coo performance.
