I do think that was one of the most beautiful, and incredible things I've ever seen. It was VERY obvious that they were all about the music. The emotion and soul was pouring out of them. Best performance of "You Raise Me Up" I've seen yet.
Oh...and that guy in the beginning that comments on Aretha's weight needs to rot in music hell.
I like hearing this live rather than the recorded version for TV. Hearing it live in person or on a camcorder gives the real sound of there voices and the band.
My Precious Aretha!!!, My Beloved Aretha, My Precious Aretha Franklin, I love you so, I always will. I love you Aretha for the songs, for your gift, for your sharing. Thank you so much Aretha. I will always love you my Precious Beloved.
"Aretha Franklin could be described as a larger-than-life figure and the Queen of Soul was certainly the biggest star of the night at a gala to mark Nelson Mandela's 91st birthday."
THis is like caviar and barbecue. Champagne and top-shelf margarita. two very good but different things. I'm still processing it.

Ver engaging. I love the way Aretha harmonized rather that just taking turns with the verses and chorus.

It was a beautiful performance. You can hear the magic in Aretha`s voice again and it`s amazing ! She`s is still deserving of her crown ! The Queen !

AT 4:24 she loses an ear ring. Her other one got lost somwhere else in the beginning.

I think all the videos from the concert records gave the full effect of the duet. The actually professionally filmed ones were hanging above them.
