[peterjonesdelacruz26]

ain't no other diva like chaka!

[tangled55]

3:11 to like 3:45 is just brilliant.  I mean, It's almost inhuman sounding.

She sounds better singing this than she ever has. Ever.

[gwapitongsonger]

wooo!!! many singers around the world had revived this song... but still "NO ONE BEATS THE ORIGINAL " Chaka really is one of the living legends of music can be classified as with whitney, tina,, celine and barbra !! =D

i a filipino and hir in the phil.. "chaka" is a gay language meaning "ugly"

but for this woman.. huh!! ugly will nwver be a word ! =D

[solomonmorris7]

I disagree, I love Chaka a real trailblazer  lover her to the bone .....

[toniro]

Just thinking that her voice comes from above! Love you Miss khan.

[heizeroid]

chaka khan voice is like a trumphet

[MarkDelawar]

Just saw the exact concert on PBS (Great Performances) a few moments ago. The quality was so good that I think I will be donating the $90 needed to get the BluRay. She sounded so good!

[hoopernikao]

Who can sing like that? Lawd have mercy! Chaka is still the woman!

[destinyt97]

[alekzxandr]

amazing vocals as usual but her outfit made her look like a penguin!! LOL

[Ch3rBear]

@alekzxandr her outfit is awesome. love her shoes <3

[alekzxandr]

@Ch3rBear : I didn't notice her shoes. Just her penguin style coat. LOL. I thought it was Gloria of Happy Feet! LOL. She's an amazing singer though!! I love all your super clear videos! Thanks for the uploads! ;-)

[uncledarnell]

[TheSanctifiedSoldier]

THAT's called blowin at around 2:30...an effortless octave jump....better with age...clear and powerful still...Thank God she's still around...btw I did not know Mandalay Bay was that big...

[turon733]

Thank you for uploading this video!

[comeon6]

She sung "Right down to the wire" @ 1:26-1:31 line like it was back in 1980...BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!! One of the best live versions in the past 3 years.

[khanman61]

@comeon6 Not sure what you are referring to here but this song wasn't released until 1984 lol! :)

[comeon6]

@khanman61 Oh TRUST ME! I admire your correction because you didn't understand me..But I am the BIGGEST fan of Chaka...Not I think..but I KNOWWWW...I know what year Through The Fire was released...I just decided to say 1980, because it was during that decade! but thank you! but for FUTURE reference...Don't correct me on my Momma...I know EVERY thing I say about her is TRUE!

[khanman61]

@comeon6 In other words you didn't know until I corrected you!

[comeon6]

@khanman61 and because I am her biggest fan, I know and HEAR every SINGLE vocal style that she does, and it sticks with me, and I know what it is..If you were a fan like I was, you would know that the way she said "WIRREE" sounded like the album version...go back and listen to the original, then you'll see...

[khanman61]

@comeon6 She hasn't sounded like she did in the 80s well since the 80s. Stop fronting like she does. She's wonderful but let's not be silly about how her tone has changed dramatically over the years.

[comeon6]

@khanman61 Whoa! I appreciate your opinion, but I don't need for you to justify my opinion with your opinion to try to correct me. No one is fronting. If she doesn't sound like the 80's one thing's for sure is the fact that her voice has gotten STRONGER. Like I said...I DID NOT say she sounded the EXACT same through the WHOLE song did I? No sir!...I CLEARLY! stated that her phrasing on that certain part sounded like the recording....Please don't try to come at me again in the near future.

[TheCmelmoneyman]

She is so bad!
