IN PERFORMANCE AT THE WHITE HOUSE | Yolanda Adams "A Change is Gonna Come" | PBS

[BrooklynWV]

I love yolanda but they should've had somebody else sing this for the president

[Ivom071]

@BrooklynWV well said but i guess she wanted to sing it

[DionnesDiscography]

I really pity the guy or gal that has to follow Yolanda Adams after her performance...I mean, honestly, she totally obliterates everyone else out of the water. Love her.

[Ricky31628580]

This change sure isn't a Godly change. That's 4 sure

[JahmeneDouglas]

wow 

[mrsignsandwonders1]

:-) perfect for this season and that atmosphere

[BranFrenklin]

Tears in my eyes, god damn it...

[erika21c]

one of the best female gospel voices:)

@39RaptureReady but then again who are we to judge?:)

[39RaptureReady]

I am so sick and tired of fake Christian mingling into the world and Yolanda repent and turn back to holiness. The change you are singing about is the NWO and obama is smiling cause you are being Lukewarm like him. salt that has lost its savor.

[babyboy19921]

@39RaptureReady SAY THAT!!! hot garbage..they kno who to pick don't they, lolol

[frsh6272]

@39RaptureReady I totally agree and that is not judgment, but speaking the truth. God did not give us the spirit of fear but of love power and a sound mind. So, some songs are contradictory to us that believe. By faith, we know what is beyond the sky.

[rmbb10]

Awesome indeed.

[ruenzito]

Brutal!!

[ruenzito]

Impresionante!

[cmuratf73]

They should have had Rachelle Ferrell performing this song.....This song needs a powerful voice

[1badpuginph]

sang beautifully. expect nothing less from yolanda. lovely. 5stars.

[ClintDecker148]

the world has yet to see someone preform Sam Cooke songs like sam. this wasn't bad but he had a special voice. The only person who could have done this near perfect would've been ray Charles. Too bad the obama admin did a horrible job. The only black person I would vote for Is David Palmer(24)

[gospelx2]

God bless President Obama and his lovely wife. Great performance Yolanda!!!

[frammvox]

Estilosa, Maravilhosa!!

[55cabgirl]

it doesnt sound right she is a gospel performer!!!!!!

[haloi1000]

Yolanda Adams always the best



[marcelino791]

THANK YOU OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR EVERYBODY .

[haloi1000]

wowwwwwwwwwwww; amazing vocals the best

[riquegoldschmidt]

Mariah Carey em 2:57 no canto direito da tela aplaudindo e batucando com os pés >>>> rsssrsrs

[OnlyOneMrsJLewis]

I just loved that moment whn President Obama put his arm around Michelle.....That's how a classic moment is created....Love u Yolanda, President Obama & First Lady

[kathycuddles1]

@OnlyOneMrsJLewis I just saw that part and I was going to comment on it you must have read my mind , That was really sweet

[OnlyOneMrsJLewis]

THIS IS A MOMENT IN TIME THAT WILL NEVER, NEVER, EVER DIE.......IF ONLY MORE PEOPLE GOT THE MESSAGE....BLACK PRESIDENT & FIRST LADY....I JUST KNW IT WAS HARD FOR THM TO SIT STILL.....YOLANDA KNOCKED THE WHITE HOUSE OFF IT'S FOUNDATION..........THANK YOU YOLANDA, THANK YOU & I THANK GOD FOR YOU.....

[weavestodiefor]

she is such a gifted and blessed singer. love her to life!

[patrick141407]

that was her best performance ever nobody cnt tell me otherwise...she is so blessed with the gift from GOD..i love her....!!i replay this song everyday almost 50 times..lol

[jayyjayy2010]

this woman needs to be slapped somebody hand is red...she sung this and it was definitely obvious she was holdin back...that 3:02 change sent chills through me..cuz you could tell that it was thought of on the spot...oh boy would i love to meet this woman

[KingJames432]

nice voice.. but wasn't feeling this version

[OnlyOneMrsJLewis]

@TheRelger lol

[TheRelger]

This has Michelle Obama all over it. Bringing class to the White house!

[OnlyOneMrsJLewis]

@TheRelger I'm almost thinking that she had to restrain due to security measures in the White House, but I dnt think anyone in that entire room got the "message" except President & First Lady!!

[TalentedCaribbean]

yolanda adams keep on doing your thing and keep god first amen

[emmeJB97]

I love this song... <3

[chewerboy]

3 people have no good changes God and Jesus in their lives...

[uneptitemelodie]

[rodrigodeoli]

[mistroplease]

I love Yolanda Adams. I can lesson to her alllllll day long.

[GameJourney]

Damn. That lung capacity...

[TJNorton1]

When I watched James Taylor perform this in 'The West Wing' (episode "A Change Is Gonna' Come" - ironically!) I thought then that one day I'd like to see this performed in the real White House. Who better than the one and only queen of heart and soul music - Yolanda Adams! They said a change is gonna come .. and it has indeed arrived!

[lovely75ish]

She is the voice of love, of wisdom, of a llife that we all live in.....and in some cases..effortless. God bless a devine woman named Yolanda Adams!!

[osbornd89]

She has the most incredible low notes!!

[DeanoMcken]

that has to be the longest c5 ive ever heard lol

[RikoIsHere]

The crowd is so boring I dont think they understand who these performers were

[MTOWNAL]

I Love Her! Praise GOD!

[sonya3020]

Praise the Lord!!

[Norelleism]

SHE BETTER STOP PLAYING. I TELL YOU SERIOUSLY SHE BETTER STOP BEFORE SHE HURT SOMEBODY.

[wuioplikymnjbvnb]

What can I say ? She is incredible. And the fact she smile whole sings just do the song really more bether.

[DRisLegend200919]

@wuioplikymnjbvnb awesome voice she's classic

[jamillia381]

yo go girl, she blew it out the way. love yolanda shes so blessed to have a wonderful voice

[mswaitingtoexhale]

MY GOD MY GOD THAT SISTER SANG THE HECK OUT OF THAT SONG. MY GOD THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SHOWN IN PRIME TIME. BUT SISTER YOLANDA HELD BACK IF SHE LET GO THE HOLY GHOST WOULD HAVE TAKEN OVER THE ROOM WE MIGHT HAVE SEEN THEM ALL BREAK OUT IN A SHOUT AND RUN THE ISLE LORD HAVE MERCY!

[chi2capcorn]

She did good but for yall who don't know about her TRUST she held back a lot in this sing she could have really done more with it if she wanted to.

[esxy27]

This woman can sang

[FABULASHIA]

[Max22relax]

[AnonimuzZ]

@tenderglo4 She had worse than that on her head. That is fine.

[agnatanga24]

OMG she SANG that Song! ooh thatwas good!

[Tryinitonmyown]

@chuito6 I aint lyin. She didn't wanna scare some of those folk!

[babygyalk]

Now that is a beautiful voice lol

[Ashabobo]

Yolanda is amazing, lookin in those faces that are just lookin back at her, no claps no hand waves, that's strong and mighty. You gotta know you gift and walk in it. This is a different platform, not churchy at all but she is killin it!!!

[okebaram]

@Ashabobo Yes! You really got to know your gift cause them people will have you doubting yourself. Singing your nose off, and they just looking... lol

[MrRstcyr77]

OMG i am breathless. one of my favorite artist taking us all to a southern church house praising one God. LUV IT : )

[JAflex]

@chuito6 If she completely let loose, no offence but the white people that don't know about that type of old time gospel singing would of jus been like "is she alright?" lol. She is one of the best vocalist man, so much control!

[cjs33139]

This diva shows that beautiful women of color don't need to show a lot of skin or dress like whores to be sexy. Yolanda is gorgeous! Take that Mooriah!

[c3poooc]

OMG , She's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute ! I want to hold her , hahahahahahaa .

Her voice's very beautiful

[keauntae8]

Yolanda is so amazing! & ii love how she holds notes! xD

[LivingInArt]

[AliciafavelaTV]

Barack: ''Baby u wanna go?'' @ 1:00  xD

[AliciafavelaTV]

Barack: ''Baby u wanna go?'' @ 1:00 xD

[MrSoulSamCooke]

Don't Ever touch Sam Cooke

Like that again

An not Let Loose!!

(even though ppl can sing it there own way)

I've seen better in Yolanda!!!!!!!

[ToxikMuzik]

good stuff, btw, if you guys like electro-house, n styles similar to fast foot and dj solovey, check out my channel for some good new music

[Junkay2]

DANG!!! That's all I can say after this performance! She did Sam Cooke proud!

[klimaxxx06]

Change HAS come...I like how she put that in there at the end..as she belts out this song with a Black President and First Lady sitting in front of her in the White House...Its STILL amazing

[DRisLegend200919]

@klimaxxx06 awesome voice she's classic

[SuperNatashad]

Perfect voice! I'm blessed to say she's got a God Given gift!:D

[KeiserSniTT]

I know! Her voice is not a product of good genes, lots of training and hard work. God gave it to her her:)

He gave us parasites and aids too:)

[FRESH20s]

No they shouldn't had Mavis Staples did u hear her at the Grammys that year with Kanye,,,she couldn't even complete the verse. And I love Aretha Franklin but she doesn't have her voice like she use to either...its a fact. Its not a bad thing singers voices just change with age.

[letsif]

What a beautiful woman, inside and out.

[anthmi2]

@letsif ...I agree, been loving this woman the majority of my life, so sincer in here singing.........WOW.....LOVE 3:03-3:11........she be doing it.........

[dyhanah]

OH MY GODNESS !!!!

[LShoniXXX]

WOW!

[diah4]

Yolanda's voice is beautiful. Effortless. I like to watch her perform. She smiles through the whole performance.

[keithsmd]

Ms. Adams is obviously very gifted, but it doesn't sound like she understands the difference between singing and showing off her voice. She just made me miss Sam Cooke all the more.

They should have invited Mavis Staples or Aretha Franklin, better singers who have some history with the civil rights movement.

[Ant57fr]

@keithsmd

I agree with you. I would have liked a little more sobriety. Still moving, though - the song is amazing anyway.

[mickaelsurtour]

Aretha Franklin??? are you kidiin me? the girl use to sing but now all she do is struggling... I felt sorry for all american when she sung "my coutrry tis of thee"

She belted so much that she only got the ghost of a voice now.

I'm not here to bash, Aretha Franklin's voice is just no longer what is was (and that's normal, she's no longer in her prime...)

[listengroovy]

Fabulous performance! I guess we are in two camps, people that like the histrionics that start at 2:39, and those who adored everything that came up until that point.

[Dhyna86]

She had a beautiful voice! Amazing!!! Glory to the Lord for this voice

[creativelc]

The whole thing is amazing; The section beginning at 2:39 is phenomenal! She sings it like she believes it!

[pf243]

oo my Lord!! my mama Yolanda always ALWAYS holds it down, now that is true sangin.

i dont know how they stayed in their seats..

she is a Great women of God

[fledgehead]

what is with the histrionics ,

[fledgehead]

what a screaming windbag , cut the strangling histrionics and rent yourself out as a lighthouse warning siren'

Get a clue so overdone

[josephjmg18]

@fledgehead she's a gospel singer you closed minded person.

[akdyer03]

Something has been going on with Yolanda's voice the past year or so. She isn't hitting those notes like she used to I hope everything is okay.

[digidestiny2099]

She might've just been a little hoarse that day. She does have a morning radio show she is a part of everyday so that's probably straining. She was on the 2010 BET Celebration of Gospel and sang Victory higher than i've ever heard her. I also saw her in Cincinnati for GMWA and she sang the battle is the lords and hit this crazy high note so i don't think she's losing her voice!

[HitDemNotes]

Nah this just wasnt the best song for Mrs Adams but she tore the Patti tribute up! There are few people who are as consistent as her

[tortorician]

What a great song.....let's hope we don't have to wait too much longer.

[Bdaneaudrey]

Amazing in the White House. God bless you MS Adams.

[LittoMoonLight]

people who make this song a Obama thing needs to stfu and in joy the music.

[Stevoy]

@jazzscherzo uh yeah

[keryberri]

Very good performance Ms Adams

[mjgoodson]

Stay classy.

[32Pennies]

The change that coming is a tidal wave of democrats losing their seats in the house & senate........and barack will be a one term president. Oh change is coming!!! We'll just have to wait it out and hope barack doesn't too much damage to our great country!

[KushKing99]

@32Pennies

Maybe another Bush would be your choice to have in office. Maybe the Florida Bush will come and then you will pray for another Barrack!

[futnyors]

She is uper overrated to me!

[TheBigHo111]

*****

[badbutt570]

Amazing!

[vi867]

yes! Ms. yolanda adams. if she wasn't gospel she would be HUGEEEE. her voice is perfect.

[FrsBigeasy]

Still waiting for that "Change" to get here.

[robertantonnyc]

Sang chile. Very sedate performance; classy.

[azas1949]

WoW ! What a great voice.
