  • Faith took that to church. Amen!!!!

  • I just want to make love to her Voice! Lol. It is absurd to be this soulful! Faith kills everything she is on, & is the greatest R&B singer vocally. I put her right above Mary J. Blige. Not in terms of catalogue of course, but VOCALLY. She was put on this earth 2 sing.

  • I've seen this a couple of times, and I just don[t know, right now it really hit me...got me misty eyed. thanks to the uploader of this video.

  • Please dont mention Beyonce in this video..She doesnt have enough soul to go hard like this

  • FAITH EVANS TORE THIS SONG UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!STILL BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES!!!!WHEEEEW

  • Awesome!!

  • Still gives me the shivers! Classic performance.

  • She killed it! I don't think I ever heard Faith like this. She went in.

  • I love this rendition of this song...I listen to it all the time....and just seeing Patti enjoying it makes it that much better!

  • No one and I repeat no one has ever and will ever perform this song like Faith Evans just did other than Pattit Labell herself.... I knew Faith Evans could sing but I see she can really sang.... I get goose pimples listening to her perform this song and that's how you can tell someone can blow vocally...

  • A-freakin-mazing.

    

  • Her best performance ever she killed this song sang girl Love her

  • Shout out to all those who doubted her vocal abilities....U officially can shut tha hell up because she blew up the damn stage...smh...GO FAITH!!!!!!!!!!

  • Outstanding!!! Faith Evans is known for her soft smoothe vocal and she doesn't unleash her range often but when she does I tear up something serious. She is a very emotional singer when she sing you FEEL her. There is no reason to compare her to MJB clearly from this video there is NOTHING TO COMPARE. I Iove MJB too but Faith is my favorite and she's smoother and more graceful w/ her vocals. After awhile MJB's voice starts to get on my nerves.

  • WHEN I FIRST SEEN THIS ON BET. I CRIED SO HARD WHEN FAITH PERFORMED THIS. SHE SANG IT WITH SO MUCH EMOTION. LOVE YOU FAITH & PATTI LABELLE

  • I remember when this first aired. I recorded it on vhs and used to play it over and over. Faith killed this!!!!!!!!! Patti was so proud!!!!

  • People get up for her in a Tribut for Patti and for Mariah no, and when Mariah sings for Stevie too, nobogy get up lol

  • You gotta read Faith Evan's book "Keep the Faith", then you wil realize why she could perform like this, she's been singin since a little child, raised by her grandparents where she learned in church, her mother was also a singer so basically she learned before church, no she is not a church girl, very ghetto rebellious child but she had her roots in it, her story showed how she had much vocal experience before joinin bad boy, Puffy probably wanted her to sound like Mary for commercial studio

  • Patti is my favorite (Aretha is 1 1/2) and Faith is showing the love and did a damn good job with this song.

  • my my my my my wauw what a woman the way she does that

  • she wasnt dropped by p diddy, she did leave, although she gets compared to mary j blige she is much better but u know that certain folk feel mary is better which is why she is where she is but we know the truth!!!!

  • she wasnt dropped by p diddy, she did leave, although she gets compared to mary j blige she is much better but u know that certain folk from another culture feel mary is better which is why she is where she is but we know the truth!!!!

  • I felt that in my marrow of my bones. SANG THAT SONG GAL

  • @dawnye1 I know thats right she sang her face off!!!

  • Comment removed

  • faith evans new CD out now! Something about FAITH go cop it

  • faith i love all u stand for i have all records and you can sing your ass off ...u and kelly price will always be the top too

  • This makes me cry every time I see this. Faith tore it up something serious!!!!

  • Boy Faye, Faye was sangin wasnt she??? Love it when she starts singin hard when she sayin I been around. I know she sayin I been through some things ya'll but Im still here love ya Faith!!!

  • Her range is serious on this!

  • sang Faith!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Faith definitely wore this song. She hasn't got her just due. Love you Mary but Faith runs rings around you. Oh wait, can one imagine how Fantasia would kill this song!!??Faith and Fantasia should do a song together. We'll call them F2.

  • @selttes check out endow me by coko feat faith evans, fantasia and lil mo

  • Lord, this had me tearing up.......

  • You can hear some Aretha tones and ranges in there. Faith is sooo underrated! I absolutely love her voice!

  • @STiLisHiShlyME Yes you are so right Iike at the very end she started sounding a little like Aretha.

  • this was the most professional ,technical,spiritual song done for patti labelle, Fantasia is the only person that came close but faith did to much damage to this simply perfect with her own touch!! She almost made me forget that patti sings this song. Simply amasing!!!!

    the ending was perfect!!!!!

  • Faith is the truth... Can not wait for the new cd soon.

  • Damn that girl has SERIOUS tone. I NEVER knew her voice was so rich

  • AMAZING!

  • What the heck did i just saw?!! It doesnt make no since how good this woman can sing. im in tears.

  • I agree with kaimusic87...

    lots of people don't realize that FAITH was MARY's singing coach, and allowed Mary to sing back up on a lot of the 1st cd. I love Mary too, but Faith has a range....

    I have loved Faith for a long time, and she doesn't get her just due...

  • @MissSuperHottie I agree Faith doesn't get the credit she deserves but she didn't ever vocal train Mary... And Mary only sany background on one song for Faith"s first album "Falling in Love" because she co-wrote it... Both of these ladies are greatand I wish ppl would stop comparing them

  • ialways been a fan of faith diddy gave her songs that wearnt for her voice shes timeless long jevity sucess and happiness

  • Patti's expression says it all... EOM

  • I am a big Faith Evans fan, she is known for singing soft melodies. But I never knew she sang like this. She sang the hell outta this song. Patti was like YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the girl can sang her freaking face off... She just another sanger that can sang. That is not getting any kind of respect in the music world...

  • my god fay..you really sang the heck out of that song..fay you are blessed with talent and beauty..may god bless you and your family!!

  • Wow Faith took that to church!!!!

  • Faith is the Truth.....I'll always love her and her voice. Patti Loved it soooo much!! Ya better sang Faith......

  • you know you can sang when ms patti jumps out her seat and is on the verge of tears. GO FAITH GO!

  • Sing Girl!!

  • I was really never a Faith fan....but she did something on this that turned me into one. Da da da......da da da.....I'm like Miss Patti...I woulda thrown my flower, my kleenex, my earrings, my shoe....SANG

  • My favorite of the 90s crop. So beautiful and talented. Love you, Faith!

  • chillz

  • UNDERRATED!

  • i love faith, singing is more than sound..when you show emotion and feelings and even truth...its so much more touching than someone who sounds perfect with no emotional effect on you. but faith has both, she's deff on my best list!

  • Look at Faith...who knew she had that kinda power!! go girl!

  • She does have power like you said.. A lot of people slept on her talent including Sean Combs and didn't promote her the way she deserved to be..Girlfriend has always been blowing and she is versatile and when Ms Patti is giving up to her, you know she is doing the DAMN thing!!!!

  • lol @ 2:36....hahaha someone threw something on stage. She was SANGIN!!!!

  • that  was Patti throwin her tissues at her. She went off!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @nerotenore lol they sure did..lol

  • go faith....always a fan!!!

  • Underrated singer, she is ssssoooo talented

  • It's a shame that she's known for songs like Missing You where she doesn't get to show off her huge vocals. P.Diddy was crazy to drop her from his label!

  • He didn't drop her... She left him like alot of his artists have.

  • YES!!!! get em right

  • yeah i know rite, if i was a singin artist THE LAST THING I WOULD WANT is to be signed to BadBoy! if it wasn't for puffy's clothing line this dude would really be irrelevant, and sometimes im still not sure why sean is relevant.

  • aMEN..i WOULD SIGN TO Da Inc or Da Row..and you know how they do...Diddy is a biatch and egotistical. I hate his wack ass. he talks crazy to people. He didnt do that to Pac or Suge. Diddy wanna be the star therefore he cnt make his artists stars!

  • thats word

  • @4realson Her music has not been the same since she left. I like Faith Evans voice I think she sounded more soulful when she was with Bad Boy!

  • @4realson lol. Puff didn't utilize her or plug her the way she deserves...but nevertheless, this type of live performance shows people (haters particularly) that this bitch is a SERIOUS sanger like the best of them.

  • i had no idea that Faith had a voice that powerful! I knew she could sing but i didnt kno she could SANG... she tore that song up.. i'd like to see Mary try and top that.. i aint hatin on mary but i just aint never seen her get down like Faith just did

  • WOW

  • You know you can SANG if you get Miss PATTI out of her seat! Yes Faith can sing her butt off! A lot of people are sleep on Faith!

  • dang i didn't know Faith could get down like this, man....this gave me goose bumps

  • I love this song! Beautiful!

  • faith can get down, i like her more now! go head!

  • Why Is Mary Always Mentioned

    When Faith Does Something?

    They Sound Nothing Alike

    So Stop Comparing The Two!!!!!

  • AMEN I totally agree!

  • I couldnt agree with you more...they sound completely different............n this is da first time i have ever seen faith take it home like this..............i raise my hand to her....wow!!!

  • @kaimusic87 when they first came out, they did sound a lot a like. their styles were similar, music and fashion wise. now, since their voices have matured, they don't sound alike. i agree.

  • @dojrr2000 I Agree As Well. I Just Wish,

    People Would Stop Putting One Artist Down To Make The Other Look Better!!!

    They Both Have Vocal Abilities Out Of This World.

    But, One Just Happens To Be More Successful Than The Other...

    Some People Need To LEARN How To Deal With That!!!

  • @kaimusic87 exactly. they are both amazing in their own unique way!! this comparison BS probably is the reason why they haven't worked together since faiths debut album or 'one more chance'

  • @kaimusic87 i think their are some similarities. 1 they both sing in the same genre. 2. they're voices blend very well together. 3faith evans sang background for most of mary's 'My Life" album. 4 one more chance was a super big hit which both their voices are on and last but not least Faith was molded to be a copy of Mary because puff started his own label and Mary was already signed to a different label (this performance is 100% Mary) First time i actually felt like Faith had that thing that!

  • oh men i dnt kno this gal cld sing like that...wow..i was moved

  • DAMN ! ! ! ! ! ! ! you go Faith !

  • Great Tribute! Faith Evans is a great singer. I am glad that she did it this song. Great Job!

  • THAT IS WHY BIG LOVE Faith Evans

  • ''Grow up people..... for real. Its NOT that deep.''

  • You claim what the whole world knows about Faith and Mary. Just because she don't have the same success as Mary, doesn't means that she want sang a fucken circle around Mary, there's alot of female entertainers out there that would make Mary choke on that fucken Mic, but aren't out there with the success as Mary....

  • the only thing that Mary J ex crackheaded bitch has on anyone is all that fucken screaming she does when she is on the fucken stage... Like you got a fucken talent other then sucken dick behind the fucken dumpster after getting decline for foodstamps....Ugly bitch

  • love it! so emotionnal

  • Mary just has better music behind her. Faith & Mary sing very different music though so it's hard to compare...I like both of them alot but rarely buy Faith's music because it's mostly not worth listening to twice, with a few exceptions, so singing better means nothing when it comes to selling records [like nasal-voiced Britney Spears - I cringe to call it singing }.

  • Comment removed

  • She went to church with this song. this is the faith i know and love.

  • she went to church and took it home!

  • Don't get me wrong I like Mary, but I love Faith more because her voice is more smoother to me and she can harmonize.I just think Mary over does it sometimes and it sounds like crap to me.You can thumb down my comment all you want, but I'm just keeping it real.

  • I agree with you. Yu can feel what Faith is singing.

  • Catching feelings womp womp womp womp womp cry me a damn river :)

  • Wow, aren't you kettle callen the pot black you worthless piece of shit, I take it a faggot knows a faggot when they see one, huh? Miss gurl!!!!! YOu need to go and get you some kind of a fucken talent or a damn life. Why in the fuck would you come on this page to leave them nasty ass remarks about somebody that you don't even know shit about?

  • Couldnt agree with you more. Faith has a waaaaaaaaaay better singing voice than Mary in terms of pitch, tone, clarity and just being pleasnt to the ear. I love Mary but its hard for her just to sing on key during live performances more or less actually having to harmonize. lol

  • I agree with you so much. The girl can sang her face off.

  • though she doesnt have patti's vocal power to sing this song, faith put her soul into this song and SANG the hell out of it!!

  • This is my favorite live Faith Evans performance. Triplemz- I co-sign your statement- Faith looks as if she could be Florence Ballard's daughter.

  • Faith DID that song! She better sing! Omg,I remember when this originally aired, and I loved it. This is why Faith is one of my absolute FAVORITE singers. She is so underrated. You go Faith!

  • i see you too appreciate faith evans! i love her so much i too feel she is underrated! she has one of the best voices out there today! Believe it or not faith holds back a lot on her albums! i have had the pleasure of seeing her live and she blew me away with her range and vocal control with all the tricks you can think of.

  • Hey blkzuri, you are right!! She is no joke live!!!! She has serious vocal skills!! She pulled out some vocal tricks when she sang at the Taste of Detroit in 2005!! I luv all of her albums, but the best one was "Faithfully" I love the song "love can't hide"

  • thanks, biship9157..alot of people sleep on faith but i know better..the women is baaad! there's nothing like seeing her live...that way you can see her true skills!

  • Go on Faith!!! She put her foot in this song!! I am reading her book now and I see her in a totally different light. Faith is a strong black woman! I have been watching all her live performances and she has really come into her own!

  • i think Faith should portray the late Florence Ballard...the resemblence is in looks is spookingly uncanny...that would give her an OSCAR NOD....

  • This is why so many people recognize Faith Evans as the 1st Lady of R&B. She tore dat sh*t up man!!

  • It breaks my heart that Faiths career isnt bigger than it is. She can truely sing!! Cuz Faith you know you should have played Etta James and not Beyonce. On the strength that Etta's life is so similar to yours you wouldnt of had NO problem portraying her on film. Plus...u kinda look ike her

  • I agree, it should've been Faith, however Beyonce is desperate for an Oscar after she lost out to J.Hud

  • OMG faith would have been a better choice... well almost anyone would have been! Beyonce is a good singer.. it's just no depth or color to her voice man.. lol.. sorry B fans.

  • I cosign that!! But the mediocre singers that screw the right people get ahead these days (not saying that Faith didn't have a rep back in the day , but she does have true vocal talent, obviously gospel background)

  • I said this way back in the day... she was pretty decent acting wise in the fighting temptations....

  • faith did and pattie let her know bitch u better do it and she did i loved it !!!!!

  • love it. at 3:14 Patti looks like she's going to faint from all the excitement. Proof of a good performance.

  • I love this song! Beautiful!

  • Faith - when u sing for our Lord (and patti), you sound so much more annointed. Yessssssss-I love it. U sang this song.

  • One of Faith's finest vocal performances, absolutely perfect!

  • Faith really felt the spirit

  • Lawd Karen Clark Sheard came all out of Faith in this video!!

  • lol yhh

  • I would like to see Mary Blige to a performance like that, without her going into her weak ass head voice.....or doing a whole bunch of runs that sound a mess..Mary's production team is what makes her.....READ FAITH'S BIOGRAPHY...

  • exactly faith is so much better than mary its not  serious. she and patti should do a gospel song

  • I alway wondered how puffy (diddy.... whatever) gave her the title "queen of hip-hop soul. No saying that she can't sing at all and she does have a style ... but the title was not deserved.. in my opinion

  • u need to do ur research. although she does have a kid by one of the hottest producers of the 90's Kiyamma Griffin "3 boys from newark" therefore she had to "screw" him; her talent is outstanding. she has written/ sang backups for everyone from mary blige to usher, if its anyone that is undeserving of a title anything other than outstanding talent scout, record exec, marketing genius and entrepreneur (which is enough) is the one you call (diddy....whatever)

  • What the fuck r u talking about? Perhaps I did not make myself understood or left out some shit. Puffy never gave faith that title(which I think she is more deserving of than Mary) See previous for context of what I was talking about.

  • ok i see it now and i totally agree with. i thought u were down playing faith's talent. whn u first click on the video sometimes it doesnt show comments made b4 urs. but was the irrate response necessary? perhaps some anger management (or some shit) as u put it would be beneficial 2 u.

  • sorry. I was not angry when I made my previous comment.

  • likewise. sorry if i offended.

  • First off im a huge Faith Evans Fan... but Mary is deserving of that title she is an iconic figure who at one time had a distinct style and sound to her music that other R&B artist werent touchin... she was a true merger of hip hop and soul... Faith kinda got more that way later on but PERFORMANCES LIKE THIS SHOWS FAITH IS INCREDIBLE!!!

  • In her book Faith says that Puff wanted her to be the more mature balladeer. That's why her first album has so many bangin ass slow songs. She really needs no title though, everyone knows who the First Lady is. Faith is my all-time favorite singer(her and Aaliyah), but Mary is Mary, you gotta give her that. She is the Queen of the sound that she helped create. But everyone knows My Life would not have been as hot as it is, without MS Evans doing her thing in the background. Cop her book.

  • PLEASE look @ 2:40-2:41! You can see Patti stand up and throw her hands up! Patti was about to get up on that stage yall! Love it!

  • I love...so many things about this performance. It's so intense. I think my favorite part is 2:13 when Patti stands up just before Faith starts her growl cuz she knew what was about to happen.

  • You see at 2:36 patti threw her tissue at Faith... and everybody know if you get something thrown at you... you either bad and need to sit down or you tearin the hell up outta a song... FAITH TORE UP THAT SHOW FOR PATTI, she's amazing

  • YES YES YES YES!!!!!!

  • damn i got goose bumps that was serious...
