There are moments, as an audience, when we are lucky enough to watch a professional singer being transported on stage and actually integrate into the music and like transcends. Like vocally and spiritually they go "somewhere else". This happens for Luke James at the 1:00 minute mark where he throws both arms and points to the crowd and sings "Sweet Darling!". From there until the end, something else takes completely over him to deliver this...showstopping vocal. The other performance that randomly comes to mind to illustrate that point is Dionne Warwick's "All In Love is Fair" performance in the 70s towards the end of the song. I don't even think the audience was understanding/processing real time what he did. That was...excellence on the stage at the moment. It's overwhelming to both watch and listen to.
Luke's Mic was the only Mic on in this Tribute!!! Brother man was the Anchor on this Relay team!!! He brought it all the way home!!!! Great performance by him!!!👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
**yells* "SANG LUCAS!!" The depth, the power, the control, the passion. He has so much LOVE for music. To not only sing a THEE Toni Braxton song, but to feel it like that, sing it with such raw emotion & bury your soul in it like he did especially the closer he got to the end....magic.
OMG HIS HEAD VOICE IS SO PURE AND SO POWERFUL THAT IT SHAKES THE WORLD. I KNOW THAT'S SAYING A LOT BUT YOU HEARD IT 2. JUST UNBELIEVABLE VOCAL POWER. 😳 👏 💔
I would love to here him to play Marvin Gaye in the Marvin Gaye story. It’s time they made a movie abt him. He is a beautiful man with a blessed voice.
His head voice is sensational, but I actually prefer his lower register. Regardless, this is amazing. I could feel the passion in which he was singing this song, and that's what a performer should do.
Did you know someone credside his performance ..they didn't like the screaming and he would have done better it wasn't short breath.he pick out durning his singing...and the gay shirt he was wearing. What the h___...cant we do anything without other...you know who you are...adding their two cents to bring us down. When will it stop.
@Marilyn Conner ~ What a damn shame!! He doesn't need anyone's validation, Xcept "The Toni Braxton" and he got it!! Toni gave him a standing ovation because he was OUT-f'n-STANDING!!👏🏾
Luke James snatched edges with this one!! I stood up in my house and yelled “you better sang!!”
Same
🤣😂🤣
I threw my shoe!
@danyaledavis9926 lmao I threw my naruto house shoe 😂😂😂😂
Not edges 🤭
Nobody will ever do a better rendition than that
No fricking body!!!! And I wasn’t a fan of Luke James but I decided not long ago to subscribe me to his channel and I just saw this WOW!
Jeromme Lewis facts!
@@sxybbwms she sang one. But nobody can top Luke.
I thought that too before I heard Yolanda Adams tribute, but he still slayed!!!
Amen!!!!
In retrospect, I honestly think he should've won an Emmy for this televised performance. It is just EXCELSIOR.
He ripped this song apart, Killed it
killed it DOOD

Now That’s How You Tribute A Living Legend❗️❗️
Luke James, performing Unbreak my heart for Toni Braxton, it was transcendental.
Toni Braxton’s face is priceless 😍 what a talent he is ❤️
It was Viola's face for me. It said Lawd have mercy 😂😂
Something about a black man singing his way to the ancestors just does it for me... 🫶🏽💫✊🏾❤️🥂
My God I can’t help but keep rewinding over and over again😢😢😢❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know......me too......l still listen to it now.
Me too! I come back here all the time! Lol
I dont see how the other two artist could go on stage with him after that performance. He owned that stage😍😍😍
