  • 4:29 - 4:31 Indians in the crowd?????????

  • @JumperSC

    If you had been there like I was, you would have been whoopin' & hollerin' along with the rest of us in that theater that evening during & after Fantasia's 2 performances ..

    And Patti's performance too ;-)

  • don t miss fantasia on 106&park tomorrow,regis and kelly,and the wendy show friday

  • is there anything that she can't sing?????????

  • Fantasia brought the house down and walked on it!!!! Gave me chills. Best performance I seen by her so far.

  • @carlarc212

    Yes, this & her other performance at this Tribute were both EXTRAORDINARY..

    (I'm the person who recorded this.. )

    Make sure you check out "Somebody Loves You" she did at this show..

    just click on the "MyExclusiveVideos" Channel link above to see all 10 videos of my audio recordings from that evening..

    Enjoy!

  • DAMN! I have never sing like this before. She is deserves more credit. It's rare you see commercial singers with this kind of talent. I am blown away--------------------------

  • i bet ppl was like " try to sing after her" lol

  • absolutely fantastic !!!!!!

  • sosyality

  • when people want to know what an anointed voice is, tell them it's this: when they make you start testifying off a song about a hooker.

    from 3:23, it's just ridiculous how good this is.

  • Bravo! An absolutely flawless performance!

  • Just anointed... this girl has a gift only God anointes with such Power!!!

  • Jsut goes to prove her exellence - even without visual her energy & voice and her effect on the crowd is electrifying!!!!!

    My skin is tingling!

  • So glad you all are continuing to enjoy these recordings we made at Patti's Tribute..

    Make sure you check out Fantasia's performance of "Somebody Loves You" which we also posted, if you haven't already..

    The great thing about our audio files and these videos we made from them is that each one is the full performance -- unlike the TV broadcast and the videos posted elsewhere on YouTube, in which every song is cut off and highly edited, including this one...

    Take care, Lauri

  • Hit that up, lol!!!!

  • She is amazing!

  • Fan T killed this song!!!!! It was HOT HOT HOT!!! ON FIRE!!!!!

  • Fantasia took everybody with her when she left.

  • oh help me! the house is on fire....get me some water,,,,im fainting again....slained by the spirit!

  • Yea she killed it wish they had the video... she stoled the show

  • The video is on Youtube now. You can actually see where she gives Ms. Patti a kiss and stuff.

  • The videos from the TV broadcast have cut off all of the songs.. the only full audios of all of the performances are here on my channel..

    also, amazingly, the audio files i made from the Second Tier Mezzanine are better than vids grabbed from the TV broadcast...

    Enjoy!

  • MUCH CLEARER LIKE WE'RE THERE:)

  • I love this girl!

  • this bitch can sing

  • She performed that night...I love her

  • Have always liked the Moulin Rouge version because of the gorgeous costuming and great combo of singing styles but Fantasia takes the cake. Oh, wow, what power - she IS that creole girl, Lady Marmalade. Just fabulous!

  • that girl sanged that night...improper english but u gotta feel where i'm coming from. everybody else sung but FANTASIA SANGED THAT!!!!!!!

  • fucken awesome awesome awesome!

  • pure ELECTRICITY!!!!

  • freakin bombshell.

  • THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY the best performance... I loved it - and so did Ms. Patti... FANTASIA killed it - in a great way! This was AWESOME.... EVERYONE was on thier feet!

  • I was lucky enough to be at this extraordinary show and recorded this and every performance of the evening on a great little digital recorder..

    I'm so glad that you all are loving this and the other audio files.. Thanks again to the generous Jojo from Atlanta who turned my audio files into videos!

    And since they cut off Fantasia's version of "Somebody Loves You" on the TV broadcast, you can hear the whole amazing song (as well as others that didn't make it) on my audio recording...

    Enjoy!

  • I listened. i dont hear he announcer tell Sheila E 2 start again. I wanna hear it, it sounds funny.

    I wish I could go 2 these events (UNCF, NIA,Soul Train) but they always r only in LA,Cali. Come to NY,Chicago, DC, Atl,FL!

  • SANG TASIA!!!!!

  • Holy hell this girl can sing!

  • this was the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • TRUST ME!!! Miss JuJULoves(HATES)

    Fancy could care less about you or your opinion.You did not build the recording studio in one of her homes nor do you feed her child or help her with her vision.

  • she did awesome..pattie was so happy

  • Anybody who says Fantasia sounds horrible apparently hasn't heard any of the previous renditions of this song because this is BY FAR the best!!

  • I hear that! Tasia sang this song! This is one of her best performances, which is hard to say considering all of her performances are grade A! Not to mention, Patti gave full support and love to Tasia. She even told her, "Sing baby!" Now, if one of the original singers of this song think she did amazing, it should be good enough for everyone. The fact is, Tasia isn't trying to please the haters.

  • 3:22 yes yes yes yes..... u betta sing it fanny.... yesssssss

  • she killled it!!! fuck tha haters!!

  • You still here??? You take a chill pill, get on your broom and leave us alone.  GO AWAY!!! PLEASE!!

  • so go somewhere else. She did very well why do you have to come here and take that away from her. Sheeesh, don't you people ever get tired. If you don't care for her voice don't go where her video are posted. My God...You all never quit. It's anonying. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE WITH YOUR EVERYONE HAS AN OPINION. GO AWAY. GO AWAY!!!

  • i couldnt have said it better myself. i just dont understand how someone takes the time out of their life to comment on something that they claim to not like.. and if im not mistakin its the same people who comment on different videos by the same artist... if you dont like their music why the hell are you looking at their videos?

  • You're right.

  • MissJuJuLoves,

    Don't be a "Hater", green is definitely not your color.

  • Yeah Baby girl is da TRUTH!..I thought Patti was literally going to fly away..yes ma'am do ya thang sistah!!

  • i'm sooo glad that i was'nt tha only one who thought ''fantasia'' was tha true diva of tha ball(with all respect to ms. labelle) but she was tha best!!! i have been a fan of fantasia since day 1!!! much continued success to you!!!!

  • Fantasisawas a beats on this !!!! Now that was a PERFORMANCE!!!!! I wish you the best Fantasia

  • they should've saved fantasia for last!!!! nobody topped this performance last night! NOBODY!!!!!!!!

  • Did anyone notice at the very end of Patti singing "A Change Gone Come" that Patti passed Fantasia the mic!!!! I hope they have that full perfomance on the DVD as well as Fantasia's full performance of this and 'Somebody Loves You Baby'.

  • Gittchie Gittichi ya ya ta ta......You betta sang that song heifer!!!! Wooooooooooohooooooo!!

  • She was the best performance for both song she sang, all's I can say is WOW, she brought Patti to her feet, this was powerful, well sang, you go girl. Is there anywhere you can purchase the DVD

  • They say you have to maka $100 donation to get it. I'm hoping they'll make it available on it's own b/c I want it too. For now I'll just make my own dvd.

  • My girl was hot!!! She turned it out!!!!!

  • Hey does anyone know what time it comes on on the 25?? that's the one I will be able to catch :(

  • it comes on bet this sunday at 10pm.

  • Today is the "official" day it airs.

  • Tomorrow's the day! Finally!

  • Just wow! Listen to the crowd. This heffa can sAng! I love this girl. Her voice is one of a kind. ANYONE who can cover Patti is the TRUTH. She and Christina Aguilera are the only two who can do it. LOVE this girl!

  • It's funny because I talked to somebody who attended this concert and she said that after every single performance that night everybody kept saying "bring Tasia back out!"

  • dfjkslsdfjkl, that must be why at the beginning of the Somebody Loves You clip, people went crazy as soon as the presenter said, "Once again, our American Idol..." This girl is fire.

  • She is fire....

  • It's almost time! I can't believe we waited about 4 months! lol

  • all i can say is an awesome powerhouse

  • This airs in about two weeks.

  • The TV broadcasts of this evening will be on Jan. 24 and 25th, 2009 on BET, WGN and other channels nationally - it's a benefit for UNCF...

    How cool that the broadcast comes a few days after Barack Obama's inauguration, which Ms. Patti was supporting at this show when she sang at the end: "A Change MUST Come"...

  • Anybody know if she is working on a new CD? I miss her. I can't wait to see and hear something new from her.

  • Yes. It will be out in 2009. Don't know when.

  • Thanks! At least I know it's coming.

  • her first single is coming out in February

  • Really?! Do you know anything about the single itself?

  • The single is reportedly called "Him Vs. Them" and in an interview Tasia described it as being a "a future ladies anthem" dealing with what other people say about your man vs. what he tells you. It's supposed to hit radio stations the first week of March.

  • Thanks! I appreciate it!

  • Great!!!!!!!! Thanks!

  • She sang the hell out this shit.

  • wrong about studio singers... yes rihanna,ashanti,keri hilson and teairra mari are studio singers ! But Alicia Keys and Keyshia Cole are not !!! Know real singers they belts the others wine !

  • Keyshia Cole can sing I think, but she is def not a good live singer.

  • To the user name ! (onlywill) you have it wrong about studio singers... yes rihanna,ashanti,keri hilson and teairra mari are studio singers ! But Alicia Keys and Keyshia Cole are not !!! Know real singers they belts the others wine !

  • Alicia keys and Keyshia cole are "okay singers". I like them both creatively. They write good music. But anybody with ears can hear that they are no where close to Fantasia, Jennifer hudson, christina aguilera, etc. They are not gonna be known for the voices years down the line. Alicia can't belt nothing out. She wines and talks to me. Keyshia tries to belt but you can tell she's not a natural singer. They lack power, technique, and control.

  • Fantasia did amazing!!!! She hit a Bb5 at 2:10!! Her voice seems stronger than ever! Go tasia!!!

  • ♥♥♥♥♥put these 10 hearts on a video that u love ♥♥♥♥♥

  • @ onlywill, you better say that,I'm not sleeping on her either.People don't know that she arranges all of her live performances with her brother (Rico) and dad.

    Shit the entire family is talented (her Mom wrotes,sings,her brothers both produce, write,sing and she has a 15 year old brother who sings play guitar and drums.

    She too writes hopefull songs will be on the next album which will be gospel,r&b,soul.

  • Fantasia is the baddest out there right now. Ppl have always slept on her vocal skills. Fantasia is a genious. She's a real singer. She can sing any genre from gospel, to jazz, to soul&r&b. She exudes music. If patti nd aretha could be combined nd made into 1 super singer her name would b "Fantasia"

    I luv her and i have always stood behind her. Im not knocking studio singers like Rihanna, Keyshia Cole, Alicia Keys, Teairra Mari, Keri Hilson and Ashanti but none of them could compare 2 Fantasia.

  • DAME TASIA sing bitch

  • I DIED....REPEATEDLY!!!!!!!!!!!

  • yes, the Best America idol. go strong, go far Tasia

  • OMG is there an actual visual video on utb? This is amazing, and you Fantasia was showing out. You can hear it. Go head Tasia!!!!!!!

  • There is a preview vid. with her and J-hud. Gotta wait til Jan. 24 to see the whole thing!

  • No disrespect to Patti, but I think Fantasia is better!

  • Patti said it herself. Fantasia is "mini-Patti"!

  • I cosign that!!!!

  • Im signing that too!

  • Look Fantasia sang with Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin Diana Ross now Patti Labelle all the true divas of song. She is gifted you are so right. But they picked her and she will be right up there in the annals of music with them one day mark what I say. I couldn't sit down and am going through the net to find everything FANTASIA

  • Fantasia is sing that's good yeaaa Lady Marmalade

  • I so wish I was there. I love Patti and Fantasia.

  • Awesome.  Best American Idol ever.

  • yes yes yes yes.

  • just wonderful singing.

  • I was at the taping and I want everyone to know that Fantasia took the house on this song,it took us a cool 30 to 50 seconds to calm us all down in the Kodak,Im sure they will not air that part but is was crazy when she got finish,totally "OFF the CHAIN" and if that wasn't enough Patti comes at the end and Kills us with a "A Change" everyone was good but Tasia took us there in the first half of the show.This girl is AWESOME!!!!!!

  • I was the one who did these recordings, and I've got to agree with you, ICMC101! I do hope the broadcast includes all of us screaming our heads off after Fantasia's performances, and then, you're right, when Ms. Patti did "A Change MUST Come", we totally lost it! (If you play my video (audio) of it here, you'll hear us yelling so much - we couldn't help ourselves, it was so amazing!)

    Can't wait for Jan. 24th to see the TV broadcast ;-)

    Please remember to donate, even a bit, to UNCF that nite!

  • She said when she did Broadway that her range had changed,she studied with a vocal coach still does periodically, she is studying music a lot.I wish you guys could have heard her Americana performance recently.She is really putting in the work and her new team has her back!!!!

  • She is CRAZY!! I love her!

  • OMG! CAN JAN HURRY UP!!!

  • Tell me about it! Luckily, we don't have much longer! =)

  • fantasia did the damn thang like always this gerl know she can sang and put on a show, i want to see her live so bad i hope she tours with her next album cause i will be first in line!

  • I hope she sings for Obama that song I'm Here!!!! That would be sooooo great!!!

  • I be damn if I didnt say that same thing...GIRL..you know its going to be a real crying fest ..Obama and Fantasia..I couldnt take it..

  • Is there no video of this thang? MAN.

  • I know, gotta wait til' it comes on t.v. in January.

  • This girl never turns in a bad performance. she is one of the greatest.

  • WTF!!! I NEEEED TO SEEEEE THIS!!! I'm over here going crazy with no picture!!! This was off the hook though!!

  • OMG!! She tore this song a whole new asshole!! I cannot wait until I can see this on t.v. I am so posting this video on every single social network online. This is my GIRL!!

  • If she isn't the Princess of Soul, I don't know who is!

  • blew the roof off Fantasia...you did just that.

  • It doesn't matter what octaves she had, she still tore up the stage!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hey ey 2:10 sounds way higher than F5 or G5 it sound like maybe A5 or Bb5 more at hey......... amazing right there

  • I agree 100%! I was singing the song this morning and decided to check it out my keyboard to see what that note was. You are so right! Tasia definitely hit a Bb. Not that we need to continue this converstion. ;)

  • What key is she singing at 2:26 and the last note?

  • I dont think thats a different key..just an octave above..I have to listen to it again..I know Fanny plays around with A and E flat..

  • can't say she didn't give her all! lol sounded like it hurt though. lol

  • Damn she sounds like Patti!!!!!!!!! She is really a soprano, but her voice just has that Dorinda and Vanessa Bell raspiness to it. But she is a soprano!

  • WHEWW!! I just listened to this at work and had to pick my desk up off the floor!! Tasia will have you jumpin at inappropriate times! lol she brought the house down on this one!

  • lol

  • If you do a web search for Philly Radio station "WDAS-FM" you will see them perform live a few day ago, Oct. 13, 2008. They were great and did three songs from their new Album and an interview! It was hott!!

  • OMG!!! I can't wait until January.

  • I was there and made these recordings, and I agree: I can't wait for January 24th either, to see the broadcast videos of this show, just to relive this amazing evening.. ALL of the performers were so inspired to be singing these songs TO Ms. Patti, who (from her 'throne' in the audience) was loving every minute of the tribute...

    Glad you all are enjoying the videos (and thanks again to Jojo in Atlanta, who generously contacted me and made videos out of all of my audio files!)

    ;-)

  • Keep on the look out for her on Bobby Jones Gospel too. I'm not sure when it will air but u can check out soome short clips on my channel. I missed a golden opportunity to meet Fantasia, I sure wish I cold turn back the hands of time.

  • This sooo immature,and childish......who cares...so this is how love responds......grea thanks for showing us.

  • Wait, TREO LADY and ITCHY GITCHIE?? If It works!! She still killed it WRONG WORDS and all!

  • dang whose fussing about how many octaves Fantasia sings. Hey if she only has 1 octave, it's still better than some singers with 5 or 6. Her voice is gritty with runs, and growls that makes you wanna make yo slap your momma...lol

  • Can someone tell me when I can get tickets for Tasia's Tribute?! I WILL BE THERE! ;)

  • I love fantasia, she kill it!!a powerhouse..I just love her., she know how to rock the house!!!!!
