[ruslitomey]

m currently embracing this FAITH haha..great! :)

[dennybish67]

Carlalouisec All due respect followed by a putdown? Hmm...Chaka looks awesome girl, don't be hatin. She's always been about big red hair and she wears it out!

[jclef614]

R&B's version of Karen Clark-Sheard!

[Junchee81]

@jclef614 Yes...I've been saying that for the longest. I heard a song with those two on it and I couldn't ell the difference. I've know Karen for most of my life and they even have the same speaking voice!

[jclef614]

@Junchee81~I still got Karen's CD with them singing on that track...lol I was still living in Michigan back then! To this day I canNOT tell them apart on the track...they are very similar. I love them both!

[carlalouisec]

All due respect...... Chaka could of used a better hair stylist?

[ewalk4959]

Faith threw down!! Chaka had to get up.

[hotrodindalou]

Faith Evan killed this shit! she made Chaka get up out of her seat! That said it all. Chaka's music is full of "flaws" thats what makes Chaka Chaka, and faith's "mistakes" are what makes this band jam work, the fact that she plays her voice like a horn, the way Chaka did on this track, leavng notes where they may and saying, "that's the way I played my horn Bitch!"

[mariejj1338]

this is the one time im not mad at faith for singing someone else song,,,,

[cre8tinme]

man Faith can saaaang! dopE!!!

[lyricalkismet]

This is amazing! I've been watching Chaka tributes all morning, just knowing there had to be one by Faith somewhere. I mean, she's one of literally three people I can think of that I don't mind hearing sing Chaka (the other two are Erykah and Ledisi).

[kobi0101]

Wow, Faith killed it. It takes some big drawers to even attempt a Chaka song. She did that.

[rellenoz]

Dang, I wish it were just a wee bit more uptempo, like the original had that funky disco dance rhythm that made you want to move. Faith brought her A game though. Stunning!

[uncledou]

Everybody says that Faith looks like Karen Clark Sheard and I never really saw it. But MAN but she really looks like her in this clip!

[kobi0101]

@uncledou And also self-admittedly, Karen is one of her greatest influences.

[MiBizzuh]

Faith is the under dog man! Love this tribute!!

[MrIJUSWANNALISTEN]

Love her voice so smooth and pure

[mochatino]

What I wouldn't give for an HD version of this to be posted up youtube! This and all her other live tributes to other artists and her gospel performances. Please God answer my prayers.

[turkeyroast100]

man i can see florence ballard.

[sickvokals]

@turkeyroast100 Sad she's not playing the part anymore )o:

[sr9266966]

Beeeeeast!!! Faith Can Do More Than Dis. She Murked This Tho. Best Of The Nite

[masculine31]

I glad Faith pulled this off, I didn't think anyone was able to do her or Whitney. Now we just gotta find someone who can pull off Whitney LOL

[indakut]

She Still sound Amazing LOve Her voice one of the Best R&B Voices Ever!

[1salvaje]

Come on people really? Mistake?? 1:04 sounds more like an ad lib to me... go Faith!

[OfficiallyRoyce]

@1salvaje It was a mistake that she caught and turned into an ad lib... I'm a Faith fanatic but I also know she made that same mistake when she sang this with Chaka. Still, great performance!! Best of that night!!

[SPYSINA1]

How is she going to sing a song & dont know the words? 

[hidehitosatoh]

chaka khanも大好き

faith evansも大好き

what's cha gonna do for meも大好き

泣きましたよ

[civan1234]

@hidehitosatoh omg yes!!

[Amanimusic2009]

my fav singer ofall timeeee..she kilt this...and was the best performace of the night..besides chaka's daughter.

[WillTurnerMusic]

She killed at 2:26 to the end... I havent heard her sing like this is a long time. That's what I like to hear babygirl.

[AstralBooBaby]

Faith did an outstanding job on this song! In my opinion, I think that she could actually do her own cover on it and that's saying a lot because not anyone can redo a Chaka song and do it justice!

[ManDownVocal973]

FAITH SANG THE MESS OUT OF THIS SONG! SOUNDING LIKE KAREN CLARK SHEARD JR! IT LOOKED LIKE CHAKA'S DAUGHTER WAS TRYING TO THROW SOME SHADE, THO! LOL!

[Hunni]

I notice Faith's voice has changed. She still sound and sings good though but I can tell her voice has matured.

[chinkyeyes86]

OK, Faith got Chaka to stand up and start clappin to the song....so enough said...and Faith achieved the notes as well...the very very tiny mishap with the words was recovered well...love this performance...another Fatith fav.......

[skittskatt1]

sang baby!!

[RasheemC]

Faith gave me goosebumps at 2:26

[LAJCain]

Gotta love Faye Faye!!

[Mista80]

Faaaaaaaaaiiiiiiitttthhhhhh!

[jorgessssito]

First Patti and now Chaka...Faith Nailed it...she did came in to soon on the second verse but she sure made up for it at the ending...go Faith

[jaiyson]

i love faith evans... she cant do no wrong......

[Aishah215]

Faye did mess up a lil but it wasn't nothing major, her performance was still the shit !!! That damn crowd should've got up and rocked with her, seriously !!

[jiggac4]

lol i didnt notice her mess up until i watched this video..but other than that this was a pretty good performance...one of my favorite's of the nite...

[comeon6]

@jiggac4 LOL...It's so funny, because she did the EXACT same thing when her and Chaka sang it on Motown Live, and Chaka had to sing over her to let her know it wasn't time to sing the second verse...LOL! I think it was

[Speaklife]

@comeon6 Yes, she sure did do the same thing, lol,...she keeps forgetting to pause for those counts. Those who know & love this song, recognized the mistake. But still, Faith was one of the best of the night, IMO. Plus this is one of my favorite Chaka songs.

[comeon6]

@Speaklife No dobut! :)

[4realson]

FLAWLESS VICTORY performance!

[kblack177]

thx for posting a better version. Faith s my fave and i cant get enough of this tribute. She nailed even tho she thought she was singing the version she performs in her shows on occasion lol

[luvtinaturnerlots]

really enjoyed this cheers

Chaka deserved this and more

[NaWaOOOO]

Yepp, she did a good job and looks great.

[rh608]

SING FAITH!!!!!!!

[ilindah]

she was incredible!!

[Speaklife]

Dang, I just realized Faith messed up too! It is hard to pull a Chaka song off..

[ilindah]

@Speaklife i initially thought the same thing at 1:04, but its actually how she sang it on a different occasion ;)

[Speaklife]

@ilindah Ok, well she messed up then too, cause she came in too soon. She was supposed to wait before she came in with, "In the cool of the night when nothing seems right." She keep forgetting that part. lol. She did play it off cute. Anyway, I do agree that Faith's tribute was one of the better ones. Thanks for viewing and commenting

[ilindah]

@Speaklife lol it was a little mistake but focusing on the positive, she blew me away with her high register :) you could really feel her admiration for chaka.

[Rudaje2000]

@Speaklife right! I caught that too. Thought I was haering things, but she played it off perfectly. I do agree that this was a very smooth performance. It was like silk.. Great Job Faith!

[NaWaOOOO]

@Speaklife LOL...that was a cute mess-up. She brought it in real quick.
