[geoedgrav]

I remember when this came on TV. Glenn Jones was the absolute TRUTH !!!!

[steddyt18]

POOR GLENN...THATS ALL I GOTTA SAY!

[musiciangirl24]

@steddyt18 Lol that is too  funny!! She totally beat him all up side the head with her runs!

[blackaman30]

Although this wasn't a vocal competition, God is to get all of the glory, but sister Sheard killed it.

[BigBlackRod]

What y'all are hearing is SKRAIGHT from the Holy Church of the Living God, Pillar and Ground of the Truth, House of Prayer for All People, 14th and Grunthal streets, Jacksonville, Florida, Bishop Moses Baker, pastor and Overseer...PEACE.

[twademusic]

What Year was this?

[GxSimone]

Classic Karen Clark always looks like Jill Scott to me...in all of these older clips. I love them both. Its like a 2-for 1. :)

[ladyjmk20]

i agree

[sofreshrod2]

That......was not fair

[DorindaClarkColeFan9]

Jesus! This is officially my new fav KCS song!

[5574480]

i luv this woman, but am i the only one that think she look like a member of kiss

[murice11]

Oprah was on the front role and gave Karen a thumbs-up at the end of the song

[131413]

was this at the grammys?

[oneloveatatime]

Karen, Karen nothing but Karen OMG whew

Oh man....she tore it up!!!!!!!!! Karen is phenominal.......I want to here Karen C. Sheard sing a tribute to Aretha's amazing grace album......OMG Karen would make the Earth shake on that album.........

[bdihigo]

Have mercy!!! Karen, Karen, Karen!!! She should have just done Glenn a favor and sang the song by herself. She put it down and that's that.

[ronneal1]

That is Sandra Crouch directing the chior Wow~ and Andrae on the keyboard that is a good combo.

[aynota]

Lawd that was an unfair combo...i like glenn's voice, but Karen just came on stage and ate glenn CHOMP CHOMP

[njharris27]

u a fool for that one LOL!!!

[MinistahB]

THE CHOMP CHOMP had me on the floor!!!

[Soulsurvivor4165]

LMBO!!!! Too funny! You wild!

[upt3rd]

i love big and small karen

[johngarner3]

i miss big karen

[hazeyez2007]

Why?!

[VeryNtycing]

Her voice was at her peak then. She's still amazing now, but "Finally Karen" was her vocal peak

[lifeofchangesforme]

karen clarksheard can still belt out them growls if shes wants to

[DigitalDezinesCEO]

@VeryNtycing I actually women reach their peak in the 40's-50's. So she is technically at her best now. Her style has also changed a bit which in the long run will keep her a soprano voice. Growling throughout a whole song is not good for the voice. I think she knows that now.

[Vocellist2010]

@DigitalDezinesCEO The age of vocal peak actually depends on what genre you sing, and your range. Generally sopranos are at their peak in their early to late 20s in all genres. Karen has evolved and has had to do things differently now because of those days of hard singing and I do agree that she has matured vocally and is still incredible.

[enique1103]

this should have been a solo effort...

[muikologist]

when was this?

[hazeyez2007]

After 2:00 run, I had forgotten all about the dude singing with Karen.

[njharris27]

karen should sing with tonex or jesse campbell, because they can hit those notes effortlessly,especially when doing a song with a vamp like that!!! What yall think?

[soccerbadmint]

that would be great!

[ronneal1]

This is a exellent song and I just noticed that Andrae Crouch is playing the paino and his sister Sandra Croucg is directing the chior boy ! what a blessing

[lynnpwilliams]

This was great they really complimented each other and sang from the heart.

[SupamanTLP]

too much going on for me

[22willy]

They both were good , glen started out excellent, But we all know Karen doesnt play especially a duet , its more like a deul!! karen is nothin to play wit , someone said this is the old Karen.....she only gotten better , like i said shes nothing to play wit !!!!

[muikologist]

i like'd her better then than now

[sexyblack103]

well i think the man did pretty good, but karen got him sorry bro.

[shoutinjohn]

lol that outfit was shweet lol!!yesss karen....they did some kindof dressin bac then!!!

[wepopalot]

You church people are so funny. your always talking about who's better than who. No wonder you guy's are always so miserable. Too much pressure. Will you ever learn to appreciate each individual for thier own unique abilities. They are both amazing, and that's coming from a sinner.

[PaulRiddleJr]

I agree, they both sound great.

[Sc0rpion]

I agree with you!!!!

[azzerqaz]

Karen absolutely sang him under the table. he looks to have a bad attitude too? who knows. i love quincy's gospel clap. very cool video.

[yoggi744]

why he lookin at her so mean?

[blackaman30]

Cause she's singing circles around him. Lol. And what are ya'll talkin' about Karen still has it.

[BigBlackRod]

He's looking at her like that cause she is play-actin' and it is inappropriate. If you listen to his singing, he doesn't miss a note, and he doesn't engage in all that verbal frippery that she does, mostly because it would look bad for him to be noticeably trying to outholler a female. All them screams and yells that folks pick at Fantasia about, are in full stride here. Glenn Jones is singing, not competing. The praise is supposed to be to the Lord anyhow, ain't it? PEACE.

[DonellReid]

This is the old Karen sanging.

[BigBlackRod]

I'm sorry to inform y'all, but she can't touch my homie Glenn Jones...PEACE.

[TT1478]

no offense, but you can't compare a male's voice/singing to a woman's voice/singing.

[BigBlackRod]

Yes, you can, and if you take away all those vocal gymnastics Karen is doing, and just listen to the tone and pitch of Glenn's singing, you'll see that he's technically a better singer than she is. Glenn could sing ANYTHING, from ancient church hymn, to the steamiest Marvin Gaye-type bedroom invitation. He was SUPPOSED to sing the last four lines of the opening, but she saw him getting applause, and took it from him while he caught his breath. She can sing, but so can he...PEACE.

[RTDavis0503]

@BigBlackRod I agree my brother

[ladyalaniz]

brother where on erf' lol, do you find these clips, this was great thanks for the post!!!

[cogic98387]

KAREN RIPPED THIS UP!!!!!

[vxzcn]

Overdose of the Holyghost!!!!

[MontAKALamont07]

sang karen!!!! woooo, she's da best! this is more proof why! wow...

[LynsAngel1]

O MY GOD.... karen

[notordinarydays]

How powerfull is her voice my God?!!!

[uncledou]

1:07-1:18 Those transitions! Nobody but Karen could find those notes. Jesus gave her an ear!

[midnitehour]

Karen sand that!! But you knew she was gonna show her tail for her favourite singa. And that other dude has a good voice...who is he? For secular dude he did a pretty good job og keeping up, usually Karen takes them down after the second verse lol.

[bemaniac2]

i so wanted to see aretha's reaction at the end. i wished they woulda passed her the mike!

[powerinpraise2000]

karen does her good singin when aretha's in the room lol

[Sc0rpion]

SHE DO!!! That's her idol, she gotta make her proud.

[StopClubbingInChurch]

Was that Andre Crouch on the organ? How did that happen?

[Gioblu]

U can count on Karen to take IT there! She sho showed out that night! LOL!

[gelibeans3]

SHE KILT THIS SONG!

[holyrollersoldier]

Wow!! I remember this peformance. Aretha honored at the the Grammy Legends Awards. Either 1990 or 91. Titus, man what don't you have???

[bowiehs]

GO AHAD KAREN

[Mandice]

I love it. Thanks for posting. I don't know about the outfit though.

[Sc0rpion]

Is that supposed to be a hat?

[Bartsing]
