  • muito linda. preta mágica y maravilhosamente encantadora =)

  • Even though I can do it all by myself... it's true... I need You

  • i cry every time i hear this ...she plays me

  • This woman is sooo damn amazing!!! just saying.

  • SING JILL!

  • Gives me chills!!!! Thats a real soulful singer! REAL RAW TALENT!!!!

  • She's speaking out for all women....Hear it clearly Men/Brothers...WE NEED YOU!!!!!

    Serious talk.....love this, love Jilly from Philly!!!!!

  • My inspirations to stay STRONG!!!!!!!

  • imma swollow my pride and say it

  • this is one hell of a woman we need more like her in the world!

  • This is true beauty right here. And I'm not talking about physical appearances. I'm talking about how beautiful this woman's soul is. Everything she expresses through her music is just so raw and so real. I'm a guy and I can say with no shame that I get chills every time I listen to this song. Go head, Ms. Scott.

  • It never fails.. every time I see that performance for some reason I'm left in tears. The sheer beauty this woman exudes is beyond my ability to describe.

    Jill Scott is a gift from on high to all of us.

  • am i the only one that can't watch Jill Scott str8 through in a live performance because I get uncontrollable chills watching it...?

  • This song is profound because modern women have sold their souls and sabotaged their husbands & defied the value of family all for a child support check. So hearing a woman sing she needs her man to help her son to be a man brings tears to my eyes. All the things she claims she can do is totally what the women's liberation movement believes but they forgot the most important part,they still need a man. God Bless you Jill Scott for spreading positively.

  • @Cosmictalk Wonderfully written, and so true :)

  • @Cosmictalk I agree but it's more than that. Some women feel that they don't need a man because they have been deserted for whatever reason by their men. When you are left alone, you have to learn to survive without him; this may mean learning to do all these things Jill mentions in her songs. It is sad to say but it is a reality for a lot of women. Absolutely love the song though.

  • I love this song! [And even tho I can do all these here thangs]

  • sing it girl

  • She is sooo real. One of the few left in the business who has REAL talent...I have yet to hear a song that I don't love by her.

  • THIS PERFORMANCE IN MY BOOK SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN MORE THAN 302,327 VIEWS......THIS IS AN AWESOME, HEART/SOUL FELT PERFORMANCE.....WAY TO GO JILL!!

  • Incredible performance!!!...I appreciate this song so much as a man because so many women hate too say those words strong, smart, independent and all....I need you...Love it!!!

  • Love this song, you know a song is a good when you make an ugly face and got chills. Love all her songs. SING IT MS.SCOTT!!!

  • this song.....cant get enough of it ! i love her !

  • Love her!

  • Jill is her

  • I love this song!

  • HOW MANY WOMEN DO U THINK WOULD DO A PERFORMANCE IN A T-SHIRT AND JEANS, NO RELAXED HAIR AND ALMOST NO LIPSTICK? NUN, THATS HOW MANY! JILL SCOTT IS SUH A REAL PERFORMER! I LOVE HER!!!!!!

  • @mujaahid123456 Indeed!

    

  • @mujaahid123456 so does that make her a tranny?

  • @HiddenCare STFU, DUMBASS COMMENT.

  • @mujaahid123456 it's generally unheard of - good on her for just chillin' that is how comfortable she felt. God bless her!!!

  • Author G D Grace says wow!

  • I have this dvd!

    I am n luv with it!!!

    I never get tired of it!

  • my favorite song ever!!

    

  • "'Woman what you done to me?!'-kinda lover I could be" (LOL) I love this song. <3

  • my favorite song ever!!

    

  • If i knew ...i d been at This concert....oh ! Respect ...

  • Raise The Vibrations Jill!!

    

  • LOVE THIS!! Its all TRUTH no false information."Even though I can be all these here things...need you." YES!!! Thats what men and some female artist fale to relize even though we can do all theses things our selfs we STILL and ALWAYS WILL need men. Can't hold you at night, make you fell like a woman, show love to you every morning. But its just something about a man.... ;)

  • Oh God, how true, children need their fathers too. Listen up fathers...

  • @CeeceByrd I so agree, I don't care how unpolitically correct that is ;)

  • This is just too smooth.... Thank god true soul is alive and well

  • those 6 people what is there not to like about this; is it because she doesn't talk about how she is dependent for a man. She is speaking as a strong BLACK woman and we should be proud of that ,bu t though we are independent we still need YOU for the love and the natural connection.

  • True Jill so true!!!! Dedicated to our men!

  • i cry each time i hear this song 

  • I dedicate this to all my Black men.  We sisters DO, need you. Please understand that this is a song about LOVE. WE NEED EACH OTHER...

  • I was there! Great concert.

  • Jill is the kind of woman that makes you want to be a better lover,more honest person and live life to the fullest. She makes everyone feel they are that kind of poet like she is even when we don't have the right words, or aren't as smooth. Thank you to my sistah Jill.

  • This has recently became one of my favorite Jill Scott songs. Been loving her since I was 5 when she came out.

  • can't get enough of this song..

  • I Wanna hit that doggie style.

  • this song and performance gives me CHILLS!! So powerful.

  • When reflecting on the combination of powerful and beautiful sound, lyrics, voice and presentation -- this song is one of the best. As a man this song moves me, and reminds me of the love and respect I should always carry and show for my woman. Thanks Jill.

  • YOU have to be insane to NOT appreciate this type of music !!! Neo Soul all the way... Jill Scott you are Amazing !!! It so sad we don't bring more music like this out... It's not always about shaking ya butt (LOL) Take a rest and listen to Jill Scott some time !!! This is that soul relaxing music... Go Jill !!

  • i love this song, this is a beautiful song

  • I absolutely love this song. It is so true. We as women sometimes are given the image of being bitchy and like we don't appreciate the role men play in our lives. I appreciate everything. Men please take these boys under your wings and teach them to be just as responsible. We do need you.

  • I love some Jill Scott!!!!

  • BEAUTIFUL MUSIC !!

  • we need you

  • we need more women with her mindframe in this world

  • Thanks for posting this video. The song is so true and Jill has such a beautiful voice.

  • She's wonderful

  • Jill's one of those very few artists who actually sounds better live than on disc! Don't get me wrong, she sounds beautiful regardless, but there's something very passionate and powerful about the way she sounds when she performs loud

    And no matter how many times i listen to this, it's STILL as spine tingling as the first time i heard it. There's something so magical about this woman - i feel blessed knowing i can listen to her music and just float away....

  • If this don't make the hair stand up on the back of your neck and give you goose bumps, then something is clearly wrong with you. Powerful, wonderful stuff from the tremendously beautiful and talented Ms. Jill.

  • This grown folk music just elegant and nice. Sang jill not sing but sang

  • I cry everytime I hear this song!! LOVE U JILL SCOTT!

  • she tells the truth in this one we still you

  • I wish more men sang songs like this to US!! 

  • I love it! Jill know she's tha BOMB BABY!!~

  • She oozes talent! Amazing skill and sooouuulll!

  • when i see her

    when i here her voice i feel so ooooooooo lost of words lol

    this sista is just so powerful omg I LOVE YOU

  • You, as a woman, admitting that you need a strong man in your life, is what I need, as a man.

    TRUTH.

  • JILL SCOTT IS AND WILL ALWAYZ BE ONE OF THE BEST FEMALE ARTIST OF ALL TIMES...SO MUCH PASSION AND TALENT!!!..I LOVE U JILL!

  • watching this video just makes me want to cry because it's so true ..and it's so sad how much we need men and love them but they just don't want families now of days just a chance to be on mtv or the next biggest rapper not a loving family man or a lover to his wife so sad.....but there's hope

  • @alyssahtr

    Being a family person is not what everyone desires in life and truthfully, I applaud folks who know what their priorities are rather than who are pressured to having families they don't necessarily want. The people who DO desire to share that type of love WILL find it (eventually) if they take care of self and work on their own goals...but folks GOTTA have boundaries so they recognize the real thing when they encounter it :D

  • man! she is so real with all her musical deliverance. i love me some ms. scott

  • MY FAVORITE SONG!

  • Jill is so unpredictable, so emotionally deep. I don't get tired of listening to her. Shes relavent! WHAT A CRY FOR REAL LOVE! Wow her voice is strong but the feelings she expressed say I still need the strength that only you can provide. Thank you ms Scott.

  • Jill is so unpredictable, so emotionally deep. I don't get tired of listening to her. Shes relavent! WHAT A CRY FOR REAL LOVE!

  • Who disliked this song...really?!?!?!?

  • thumbs down to the 6 guys that dodge paying their child support and therefore chose to "dislike" this song.

  • @versitalica Separsate your own issues from the real point here. Dear lord, so many wrap their own histrionics up in an already vapid spider's web.

    Jill Scott isnt talented; she is a musical and poetic genius. Beautiful, humble, warm, and extremely gifted. An actress, a poetess, a woman, and a songstress that sings songs that fall from heaven like manna.

    Jill is therefore the truth in music. The water's drip drop on the tongue of those dying of musical thirst.

    For Real...

  • @versitalica LOL!! Well, no need to pay child support if I'm doing what I'm supposed to do.

  • oh hell yeah! This is the cut!

  • man i luv jill scott! my auntie got me hooked on her!

  • Love Jill Scott & Her Brilliancy: "i can even raise the child we'll make, make sure he's loved and knows what god gave. i can teach him how to walk and stand,

    but he needs u to help him be a man. we need u. so hard to say. we need u..... somethings don't change. Even though I can do all these

    things, I need you.

  • I love the fact that she's performing in a T-shirt, pants and sneakers...with her beautiful hair and very little makeup. Naturally beautiful and immensely talented.

  • @scampbell04 YEAH COULDU SEE BEYONCE OIN THAT? I THINK NOT! LOVE JILL SCOTT!

  • @mujaahid123456 luv Jill Scott so much. Of all the female entertaniners U pikd Beyonce I feel sorry 4 Beyonce. She is the only Blak women that gets compared 2 neo soul singers& White pop stars & they hate on her because of her talent & probably bcaws she aint Wite enuf..Then Blaks dont think she's soulful enuf. No one compares Britany Spears or Lady Gaga 2 Jill Scott . Beyonce sang with the legendary Lutha.V& @ the President's inaguaration. U see Bey perform? I think its the other way around.

  • @breaknfoool EXCUSE ME HUNN U HAVE MISSED MY POINT! I DID NOT IN ANY WAY COMPARE BEYONCE 2 JILL SCOTT! I SIMPLY ASKED A QUESTION! BUT 2 ADRESS YOUR STATEMENT, BEYONCE IS A POP BUBBLE GUM STAR HAS COMPLETEY FALLIN IN THIS WHOLE " IF MY BEAT ISN'T FLY AND MY MAKE UP ISNT RIGT AND LYRICS ARE NON MEANINGFUL, THEN IM NOT GOING TO MAKE IT" KIND OF MUSIC INDUSTRY! THE OTHER WAY AROUND........I THINK NOT! BEYONCE IS BEYONCE AND JILL SCOTT IS JILL SCOTT! I WONT COMPARE BECAUSE THERE IS NO COMPARISON! SMH

  • @breaknfoool I don't get why anyone would say that Jill is not soulful enough! They obviously didn't see her perform!

  • Jill is the epitomy of beauty and talent... such an exceptional piece of art. I love her and I hope that she continues to show case her unique beauty despite with "normal" standards say is beautiful

  • i agree, most underrated neo soul artist and much better live than recorded

  • 10 / 10
