  • i hate that stupid saxophone!!!!!!!!!

  • Deborah has me in tears at works and the saxaphone just makes behind makes it so much special!!!...Powerful performance

  • Thanks! Interesting also that it's from Patti's home. Merry Christmas to everyone.

  • so glad people have been blessed by hearing this! i saw this on TVone when it first aired and it seemed none of my friends knew what the heck I was talkin' about. Thanks, Youtube!

  • Deborah and Patti = MASTERPIECE!

  • This "Blessed" the inner parts of my Soul this morning. Who would not serve Him...."Only A Fool"..

  • Deb could sing the label of a crackerjack box and sing the f*ck out of it.. she's amazing..

    and she OWNS this song..

  • Crying especially at the end.....COMEBACK DEBORAH!!!!

  • Love this version n the guy on the sax. Omg

  • Deborah....girl you betta sing! And pregnant too...love her!

  • There are only 2 versions of this song... Deb Cox & Celine Dion

  • the pianist and the saxaphonist are on fire!!!

  • lol! I love the way Patti started feeling up the Piano player at the end and Deborah reached for her hand ! hahaha

  • WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ummmm....idiots, that IS Patti Labelle in the bad wig and oversized kimono...look close...what's next I guess is her own version of the 700 Club

  • I think this is the Most Beautiful song and Deborah Cox made this song 1,000 more Beautiful!!!! The SAX player is just icing on the cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Most important comment is she is & or * months pregant and can sing like noboby i've ever heard.

  • she was big on the club seen. her music rocked the clubs.

  • @Shell0517nj SHE WAS HUGE IN THE RNB MARKETS!

  • Do you have Kindred: the Family Soul singing on this special?

  • that boy played the hell out of that sax; and deborah sang her butt off, luv it.

  • This is awesome..love the way she sings this...and she looks good too ...love the lil roughness in the voice too...sounds hott

  • LMAO at 0:30 - 0:35 Patti says "You've got a HUUUSBAND okay? Baby got a father!" She's so ghetto.

  • This version is one of the few versions that actually made me feel something. Deborah's voice; the TONE, wow, off the chain!!

    This is straight up, no BS, SINGING.

    I wish there would be more performances like these on TV, like y'all know back in the day when people like Whitney, Mariah, Patti in the 80s/90s would just sing a christmas song just for the fun of it, and not for promotion or anything? Just with ONE piano, and ONE microphone, and nothing else on stage? Bring those days back!!

  • Usually I don't like deborah and i feel she'sall over the place

    but credit where credit is due.. This woman killed this

    AMAZING... i have to watc this at least twice a week

  • I remember this. Deborah Cox was horse but she was still fantastic to me. A true singer.

  • voice is AH-MAY-ZEEN (amazing)

  • wow i had never heard of her b4 now but this is amazing

  • AMAZING!!!!

  • When god give you a voice like that you should be at the top of the billboard just such an underated singer

  • Deborah I love you

  • She is quite underrated!! She needs to be on the same stages as J. Hud, and Beyonce.

  • Hello? man I felt the anointing all over me when I hear this, now that's the way it's suppose to be sung. Praise God.

  • You betta get it Deborah!! She is still my fav!!1

  • I know it's a little early for Christmas (10.15.10), but Deborah Cox DID this. Even though she seems to have lost some of her upper modal register, she STILL, as Patti said, KILLEDEDED this!!! And then comes Patti with her takeover spirit...LOL!

  • @JayCroix Lol, Patti does the most! I'm thinkin the lost of th upper modal reg was fatigue from the pregnancy, Idk

  • @DivaQueen2400, that may be right...I didn't think of that!

  • and ima fall on my knees lmao i love patti

  • sing deborah..... take it to church girl

  • sing deborah.....

  • PATTI, I can't stand those extras in the back...lol.

  • "betta sang girl" .. lol. love it.

  • :O Gosh her voice... She looks beautiful pregnant. She's glowing.

  • this was amazing

    she sounds like whitney with a kick of faith evans..

  • piano player with the gelled hair smh

  • Some comments i've read has said that ppl should stop comparing her to whitney...but CLIVE DAVIS the man who discovered BOTH of these singers is the one who started it all....clive said he signed Deborah cause she reminded him of whitney.....he has verbally said she is CANADA'S ANSWER TO WHITNEY HOUSTON...unfortunately she has never been able to acheive the success of whitney's career...but she is in my opinion 1 of the baddest female vocalist ever

  • Whitney's voice is but a memory. Deborah's voice will remain. I never knew of this 'comparison' until I first watched this video here right after it aired. Whitney's voice was gone a long time ago. Deborah's will be there for many years to come. It annoys me to hear artists like Whitney and Mariah sing now because of how they destroyed their voices. Deborah knows better, though. Deborah sang this as only she would/could. No need for idiotic comparison because there is no comparison.

  • truss me deborah cox is slammin..massivly underated

  • i love this song and the way she song it she killed it and it touch my soul i listen to it every day and i love that she lift people soul. thank u

  • dang deborah cox u can sing!!!!!

  • dannng suhhn. That was intense! :]

  • yes i love deborah and patti patti lol she gave that man a run 4 his money child ,werk patti

  • wooooooooooo!!! damn it Deborah!!!! Sing it like you know it!!!

  • @nycaight - you made me really LOL when I read your comment. You are right - she did that right 'dere!!!

  • I maybe late in viewing this but I love it. Thanks heykev75 for sharing.

  • This brought tears to my eyes. Deborah tore it up and so did my girl Patti. Like Patti said, Deborah has her own way of singing. I really wish people would stop comparing Deborah to Whitney. That is so old and tiring. Just like people comparing Jennifer to Fantasia. Anyway, I also loved how Patti and Deborah gave a shout out to Jennifer Hudson and her family. That was really cute. And let me not forget the HARMONIZATION AT THE END!!! THEY HARMONIZED SOOOO DAMN WELL!!!

  • what?? THREE? wow i thought she only had one child.

  • This is crazy I always said tht you really cnt put deborah cox and druged out ass whitney in the same boat....yes the old whitney had a good ass voice but DEBORAH is awesome and Phenimenal....they both have a powerful rang and sing from the soul!

  • I totally disagree. Deborah can sing just as well, and IMO better than Whitney. Where do people get the idea that Whitney is untouchable? There are many other singers that are better than her as well. Deborah is phenomenal and this performance speaks for itself.

  • @blueindig I feel u ALLL THE WAY!!!!!!

  • patti kno she neeed to sstop that ..... this was just tooo beautiful

  • Anybody can say what they want about Whitney ,but she's done what all of these artist's are trying to do. They're vocals are not half of what Whitney's were when she was their age. Whitney is a beast simply!!!

  • Um, no. Deborah ate Whitney up on "Same script, different cast." I love me some Whitney, too, but she does not want to come for Deborah.

  • Maybe so but Whitney is still the better artist. Deborah can't touch young Whitney's vocals,and when they did same script ,different cast Whitney was already up where she needed to be. she had nothing to prove and besides it was Deborah song why would she want to embarrass her.

  • OK, I agree, young Whitney was untouchable. But, if they shared a stage today, Deborah would get her. She's taken better care of her voice as the years have passed.

  • Most definitely

  • that was beautiful... i love the way deborah sang oh holy night...she has that raw talent that very few artist these days have...if you really want to know an artist's vocal ability? have them sing with just a piano and or just a sax!

  • @blkzuri or when they're hoarse. She passed in my book.

  • @Worme95 right man! I love Deborah Cox I think she is so underrated! She sang that song so beautifully and was good and pregnant!

  • whats the piano  player name

  • john stanley

  • Thank you

  • i wish patti would shut up nd let her sing the damn song!!!!! lol...jk i luv them both!!!!

  • Patty 6:47!!

  • UTTER PERFECTION!!! Amazing tears in my eyes she took U to that night in Bethlehem singing this!

  • I agree. No one should even attempt to sing this after hearing her version. In my opinion, she OWNS this song now!

  • @wiggerlover04 not to get too deep about it, but how does one "own" a Christmas song? they're singing about the birth of Jesus and everyone should be able to do that. We should leave the "owning" of the songs to secular music, not sacred music.

  • WOW.....

  • No, but she was a background singer for Celine Dion.

  • Dwborah has an amazin voice i love her and whitney houston i think they should make more songs together.

  • @TheWizzle66 You obviously haven't heard Whitney lately.

  • @yeahFUXKINright she does kinda sound like whitney

  • @JazPres Whitney from 10 years ago yeah

  • your damn right whitney cant hang like that anymore,but because of her past the world is gonna accept what ever she gives us! I heard whitney live christmas 1988 Damn she was off the chain!!! yeah its sad but those days are over!

  • Where did you her the Whitney Christmas cd from 1988?? Is any of it online??

  • No, I saw her live at christmas back in 1988.Ill never forget that !!!

  • it's funny how you can put whitney down and she still doin her thang the question is CAN YOU SING?

  • WAY BETTER than she talks out of her songs in a raspy cigarette breath sounding tone

  • Went to HS with the sax player. He is no joke.

  • Debora is a pretty girl!

  • No she was Celine Dion background singer at one point.

  • Workkkk Patti and Deborah!!!!! Yes!

  • wow...damn deborah get it....didn't know she could sing like that but that was full of emotion...gave me goosebumps

  • ii luv her nd ii luv the way she can sing

  • deborah betta sang and i felt something while he was playin that sax..i wouldve been like patti in the background..lol

  • yea I get here and whitney the old whitney vocally confused until deborah goes up

  • whitney comes out when she shows off her control

  • Debroah no she can SANG

  • Yeah me too...sometimes I will be like wait was that Whitney. LOL

  • yes it does take strength to do that but u know what? she's in shape unlike most of America...u c her arms?? b4 she got preg she had a beautiful body and prob has the same one back by now.

  • She sung da mess out dat song! Especially at 4:41!

  • I love the guy playing the piano, but what's up with his hair, I mean come on.

  • i love the way that deborah and patti sang and mike he can play the saxphone oh lord have mercy may god bless all three of them and the new babygirl.

  • AWESOMMMMMMMMMMMMMME

  • love it!!! deborah cox is so slept on that girl can really sing

  • go on now tell it!!!!!!!!!!

  • keep in mind that she is pregnant...she gets all 10's from me

  • She sounds a lot better than the ones who are out today! She is SO underrated! And you're right about the pregnant part. For her to be singing like that AND she's pregnant? I would think it takes a lot of strength for that! You have to respect that! I DO! I saw this on TV One and I loved every minute of it!

  • THE BABY IS PROBABLY SINGING HIS ASS OFF TOO INSIDE OF HER AND CLAPPING "yA MA GO MA"

  • patti was giving me jokes...deb sounded gr8, gave me goosebumps

  • EXCELLENT!!!!! I love Deborah... I won't speak to much on it as to not to anger any of my fellow Whitney fans (lol)... But she DOES have her moments when she truly reminds me of Whitney!!!!

  • Yes, especially on her recorded material.

  • I do hear the Whitney out of her. LOL

  • Deborah's still got it...amazing voice, just beautiful...

  • I see why they wanted her to be the new whitney.....She has the voice...almost there

  • 7:04 =====> 7:08

    Man...

  • That's Mike Philly !!!!! Deborah Cox is killin. Mike Phillips takes that to another level !

  • i had NEVER heard anyone sing that song the way she sang it...God has truelly blessed Deb with a beautiful voice,she was made to sing that just for god and she did and Patti knew just who to sing it...JUST AWESOME!!!

  • That performance was simply divine. I hope a star will shine on her career again.

  • Thank you for posting and I knew Deborah can god there with the best of them! Deborah, need a Christmas CD!!! Beautiful U R!!!

  • BEAUTIFULL!!!

  • Let me first start by saying Thank You for the posting. Its an amazing performance thata should be seen!!! I cried like a baby fresh out the womb. Deborah Cox.....DAMN! I had no idea she had it like that.

    Next, Miss Patti is not a competer. Deborah took her there, and she had to release the music flowing inside. Anyone that sings knows what its like to hear someone sing, and can't restrain themselves.

    Thank You again for the Posting. Much Love!!!

  • Patti isn't competing Deborah and she are just collaborating and just playing around, you made it seem as if patti interrupted Deborah's solo...

  • GOD is good...I didn't know she had ANY kids...and to be in utero and hear THAT...wow

  • Im just watchin this for the first time on TVOne and Deb sang the ish out this song. Best wishes to her with baby #3 on the way (I didnt know she had 2 already!)

  • Oh stop it! Patti isn't competing. She likes to sing and that's it. She doesn't need to show off everyone knows her vocal range and capabilities. Legend nothing to prove.

  • Whatever you say man.

  • i didnt think of her as "competing" exactly but I did hear another song they were singing on and when Patti chimed in it seemed like Deborah was getting drowned out a bit..i still like em both

  • Why would you say something like that? Thats just Patti HONEY!!!!!!!!! She has never tryed to out do anybody she just doing HER!

  • Shes the best.

  • DEBORAH DEBORAH DEBORAH...no words are needed. The video speaks for itself! True talent is all that i can say!

    Thank you Patti for recognizing the best vocalist of today!

    'The Promise' in stores NOW!-check it out.

    4_deborah

  • Simply beautiful and awe inspiring!!!  I can't wait for her to put out a Christmas CD.
