  • ...asure to hear among all these washed out voices in the

    charts. If you don't like her style it's ok, but don't be disrespectful to

    a true master. And to those comparing singers: please stop it already,

    because it isn't leading anywhere. Music is not sports!

  • @sings83 please, the one who just embarrassed her/himself was you. (with your comment and lmao about your own joke) Fantasia is surely happy to be on the same stage with Chaka and both were just humble. It's Chaka's style to sing dirty and on the edge, but she never crosses that thin line when it would be wrong and that makes it so thrilling to listen to.(Sorry my english) Maybe you don't know what blues means or listened too much Madonna or Lady Gaga already. For me Chaka has always been a ple

  • Lmao @sings

  • BET you must get Fantasia to tribute S.Wonder again for the BET Honors.

  • Chaka Khan is too old to still be getting high. Chaka let Fantasia assassinate her. Chaka Khan embarrassed herself and she knew it. That's why when Fantasia said "I can't do nothing with Chaka!" She responded with "naw baby but it's not the truth!" and they both proceeded to laugh. They knew what was up, Chaka sounded terrible, she might've hit one correct note in that entire performance or utter a single word in English? LMAO

  • all I can say to those who never heart Ms. Chaka Khan at her zenith - simply play Epistrophe/Giant Steps/from her self titled, CHAKA. You will be in the fold. Live, she can have a tendency to scream - she always had, but that's just how she lets go. If you need to hear her controlled artistry? Simply listen to her sing (right here on YouTube) here, with Fourplay....., philip bailey....

  • Chaka sounds a fucking lost ass mess.

  • That ending went straight to church, all the way to the piano softly playing lol!

  • When Chaka comes in at 4:43, I get instant chills!

  • Sorry,,,,THE CHAKA BLEW Fantasia AWAY!!!

  • @idivinelover Fantasia was singing, Chaka was speaking and doing useless runs and belting high and high but without any melodic consistency, it wasn't singing.

  • Fantasia sung this really good.

  • the LIKE button doesn't do justice ... where is the ADORE button? or INFATUATED button ? or POSSESSED button ?? THIS RIGHT HERE is what music is all about.

  • Fantasia is a gem. She is definitely one of the most talented vocalists in our current day.

  • Chaka Kahn!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Two phenomenal female vocalists!!! I love live performances that show real, true talent!

  • @MIMI88998899 If you don't like her don't watch the videos that she is in. I know that it's your opinion, but I bet you just jealous and you couldn't sing like that if your life depended on it!!!!!! Stop being so green with envy because it never gets you anywhere, there is always room for more new talent along with the great old talent that has already come through and made their mark and as a young artist I certainly don't understand the hate, you have deeper issues to work on and I suggest th

  • I can't stand Fantasia's singing. I grew up on real soul and real talent like Chaka Khan, Gladys Knight, Aretha Franklin, Natalie Cole, Stephanie Mills, Teena Marie and Phyllis Hyman, Fantasia's can't scat and it sounds bad when she does all that yang yang yang mess.

    I just can't stand all that screaming, screaching and yang yang coming from Fantasia.

  • Chaka seemed so happy to be singing with Fantasia! I love it when artists are unselfish and enjoy each others work. :)

  • Til this day, even though she won almost 9 years ago Fantasia is still and always will be the ONLY person to kill this song. The judges even said themselves she sang it the best and nobody can touch her.

  • Chaka is a legend. She is passing the torch. Someday Fantasia will pass the torch on to someone else. You can tell that Chaka respects Fantasia as an artist and that is a huge compliment. You are witnessing history.

  • 2:49-3:49 Chaka sounds a HOT D MESS!! Sounds like a drunk cat being tortured... There is no way one can think that sounds good!!

  • @Clemsonshawty uhhmm...that's chaka's style..its called improvisation :D she's an adept jazz singer..hope you find my comment not offending :D

  • @Clemsonshawty Lmao! It's Soo true and yet sad at the same time but then Chaka's had her time she anit got nothing to prove I guess

  • rashard418 if you check this. i agree with you but what about THE THRILL IS GONE FT. CEE-LO one of the best.

  • Chaka was gud but u gotta admit my gurl tasia held her own up there..

  • I am covered in goosebumps.

  • everybody the time as come to start requesting fantasia new single "collard greens and cornbread" on your local radio station and buy it on itunes so we can get this girl to number one yea so lets do it

  • Chaka Khan has sung Summertime so many times, she doesn't NEED to remember the words. Some of yall need to recognize true talent & a true legend when you see/hear one. Ms Khan paved the way for many singers like Fantasia, so RECOGNIZE.

  • chaka been in the business so long she could sing mary had a little lamb and it will be a classic. haters fall back.

  • OMG! The power of THE Chaka is too powerful.

  • chaka made her way and she didnt want to take the light off fantasia. this is what is called performers respect that fantasia is good 2b so young. its all this scandle and hoopla from the media now thats foreshadowing thet few talented singers

  • chaka made her way and she didnt want to take the light off fantasia. this is what is called performers respect

  • Awesome how they fed off each other....Chaka is one of a kind, not that many LEGENDS left....... Hail Chaka ! my girl Fantasia bad too

  • This is frickin amazing!! Fantasia's grit is unreal and Chaka's voice is legendary. I love the harmonizing at the end!! 

  • this isn't a face off... it's a duet!

  • Who ever is talkin smack about Chaka Kahn losing to fantasia needs to shut the hell up and learn some jazz Kahn killed her when she started scatting the lyrics and fantasia will never have the power that Kahn has that's why her big azz (no offense cause she dose have a big one) steped back and let her mentor/ idol sing

  • Chaka Khan's recent interview was asked about this performance, and she said she smoked pot right before this performance. Thumbs up for weed(:. My favorite song while smoking right here!

  • @TheTTriixxxShow Which interview? I wanna see it

  • i have to agree with half of these other ppl.. fantasia my girl and she killed her part as usual but i think she shoulda left chaka where she was at! this was a bad performance for her

  • I still say you guys are sick......Chaka and Fantasia sang face off on this duet. Apparently many of you don't know who C.K.is; to say that she "dosen't know the words to SUMMERTIME"!!!!!??????

    Artists "DREAM" of being ablt to improv jazz the way she does.

    Study study study....before you make comments such as that, people.

  • @timothyeral RIGHT its her damn song how could she not know the words, what she was doing was called scatting the song verses singing the sing, yaw better check her resume and learn ur histoy b4 u start talking sh**

  • @PinkieLewinskie No disrespect cos you're a chaka fan but summertime isn't her song it was a Gershwin song. It's a really old song - the oldest recorded version I can think of is Billie Holiday's version - check it out it's awesome!!

  • As much as I love my Chaka, they should have let Fantasia do this by herself. This is a great of example of Fantasia's talent when she is not screaming out her lyrics. Go Tasia.

  • iLove chaka But Her Asz Dnt NEVER knw The Wordz EVER lol Thats My baby Tho...Lol

  • Poor Chaka....somebody need to coach her on voice pitch....

  • @ederrick987 you a fool

  • Fantasia tore her ass up on here... poor Chaka

  • ya chaka i dont hey.... but tasia always delivering :-)

  • Love Fantasia. She saved the song on the part she sang. Chaka had too many mimosas before she cane out. You couldn't understand what the heck she was saying in between those screeching screams.

  • Something is wrong with fantasia (in a great way) she is greatness..i feel everything that she sing. I dont even blink when i watch her. I love Chaka but I think she had too many glasses of wine before the performance she does seem a little sloppy and have forgotten the words.

  • goin head to head new schoo vs old skoo

  • speechless. absolutely love these divas. 

  • i love it

  • Chaka is a beast but she let me down on this performance. YUCK

  • @WillTurnerMusic You need to lay off the pipe AND take your head out your ass. Seriously. Who the hell are you talking about she let you down. Nucca you been down since the day your ass fell out between piss and shit.

  • @blewis9505 Brother you seriously need to get a life. My comment was a matter of opinion and performance wasnt great at all. If you think so, you're the one that need to lay off the pipe and make an appointment to get your hearing checked. BTW this is 2011, update your lingo Old School...

  • @WillTurnerMusic Lingo aside you idiot .... you replied to what I said so what's really your issue? If you need remedial reading and comprehension get thee to a classroom pronto. Other than that? I'm not one of the people who give a damn what you think. Hahahahaha (LOL)

  • @blewis9505 Dude you have serious mental issues. Its hard to believe that youre an adult. I really hope you dont have any children because your replies say alot about your character. Especially when my comment wasnt directed towards you or anyone else for that matter. I am allowed to voice my opinion like everyone else has. Sorry you cant handle someone else feeling differently about what they heard in this video. Im sure there are others who may not agree with me but as I see they didnt care...

  • @WillTurnerMusic (LOL) Ah ... "physician" [lower case intentional] .... heal thyself."

  • @blewis9505 What a moron...

  • WAS THAT JANET AT THA BEGINGINNG

  • these r 2 of our greats. cherish while we got 'em

  • this is fantasias song and her time to shine chaka being a real singer stepped back and let her shine...remember this is her first single after winning american idol. plus chaka started the song as it was orginally done in porgy and bess....thruthfully i think tasia sings better without the di di diiingggg....and screaming!!!!

  • Fantasia put her foot all up in this!!! Much respect to Chaka, jazzed it on up!!

  • Fantasia put her foot all up in this!!!

  • Fantasia was the best thing that came out of American Idol. Talking about R&B artists. I think even Chaka was amazed and overwhelmed with her singing. She can sing like no other. Plus I think Chaka probably didn't know the words.

  • @Jaylasplenty Actually, LaToya London has been the most talented person on idol thus far.

  • @BlakeBarbieDoll I stopped watching after Fantasa. I don't even know who LaToya London is. I know bad on my part.

  • @BlakeBarbieDoll

    Along with Tamara Grey

  • Two great power house singers...

  • attention fantasia fans please vote for her new video "im doin me" on vh1 countdown to vote go to (vh1.com:vspot top 20 countdown) and please vote hundred or more a day so we can get her on that countdown thanks

  • What in the hell.......?

  • @Chimier lmao. my thoughts exactly!!!

  • Highly doubt Chaka was high here.. she's over that stuff.. ppl are just showing their stupidity making statements as such because Chaka is a happy person and loud when performing. Not so used to her on slower songs but no matter the tempo they'd still say that because its just in ppls character to judge, even if it means criticizing lies. so weak!

  • Yes..Chaka is a TRAILBLAZER.....

    but accomplishments or not....

    WHAT IN THE HELL WAS THIS?

  • CHAKA KHAN!!!! I ADORE YOU!!!

  • attention fantasia fans vote for her new hot video "im doin' me" on 106&park countdown so text fant to 79922 to vote or go to 106&park website and vote there

  • To God Be the Glory Right Here!! This right here is a Miracle in the Midst.. Chaka is alive and able to appreciate artists like "Fantasia"! Fantasia is in whole a Tribute in herself to Chaka Khan! Not a Threat.. She emulates (Fan.) her, many have tried.. Fantasia has arrived and it is beautiful! PCSLM55 is right! Trailblazers light the path so "Fantasia's" can come forth.. somebody has got to keep it going.. Be Happy for them both! They are Master Pieces!

  • Oh Please....yall better be careful talking about Chaka. If it had not been for women trailbrazers in the music industry like Chaka, Whitney, Diana, Arthea etc, performing on stage...there would be no Fantasia! I love them both.

  • @PCSLIM55

    don't forget Nina Simone

  • Chaka was really feeling her essence here... She ain't gotta prove a THING!

  • i like how tasia found herself with no move left at the end. no matter if she would have taken the song up or down Chaka still slayed. all fantasia had to impress athe audience were some repeatable adlibs like that "wooboodoo" thing

  • I love them both on this. So old school and hectic and bold.

  • Um get a clue people talking negatively about Chaka Khan, she made away for all these singers. Fantasia respects Chaka, all ya'll none singing folks watchin the vid and not a part of it need to stop hatin.

  • chaka...i love you but stop baby hahaha tasia u did that! amazing!!!

  • Chaka wtf? #thatisall

  • chaka is the most amazing singer alive, she is always on the cutting edge of voice, thats probably why everyone tries to imitate her.

  • Chaka sounded a f ucking mess.....People are crazy if they actually think she sounded good.

  • @randallthemarysefan Thank you. People act just like cause someone is a celeb, they can always do a good job. NO! Damn, reality is reality. Shit im an artist, and I think she sounded terrible.

  • @randallthemarysefan, crazy about her voice you mean. She sounds a mess TO YOU, so please don't offend others, who have a (different) music taste.

  • Okay Im not the one that usually speak negatively but WTH Chaka Damn I wonder just how hard this was for Fantasia

  • attention all fans of fantasia please request her new single "im doing me" on your local radio station so we can help her on the charts so please all true fantasia please support so we can make this number one

  • OH my, that performance was two world class titans sparring and no-one got hurt once! Wooooow.

  • don t miss the 2nd season of fantasia new reality show "fantasia for real" vh1 on sundays at 10/9c

  • chaka tries to hard to hide her body and it makes her look tacky ... high and tacky .. not a good look.

    but thank god she is supposedly drug free...... now only if she can free herself from tackiness! I LOVE u chaka and god bless you!

  • Chaka does look a little high or something, but she also seems like she was singing really high because of the way Fantasia came in. She didn't want to feel shown up on stage, so she was doing something to be extravagant, but it was a bit extreme. She was singing the first verse again up so high it was distorted.

  • Y'ALL CRAZY AS *#@+!!!!!!CHAKA DID THA DAYM THANG!!!!!!So did Fantasia. Y'all must have been hi when you listened. They were both on "FIYA!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hahaha, she must have been drunk. What in the world was she doing? xD Still love her though! And of course Fantasia <3

  • - Yooooo she was drunk as hell .! very EMBARRASSING she messed up fantasia song danqq Chaka .!

  • fantasia has a new hot album out title "back to me" in stores everywhere

  • I love Chaka but What notes were she hitting...they sure weren't *ON KEY* ones..I hope she was drunk and thats the reason behind this mess..lol

  • 20 old Chaka Khan vs a 20 year old Fantasia...no competition. 20 year old Chaka would blow Fantasia out of the water effortlessly!

  • fantasia represented!.....it aint easy to deal with chaka and all that range!

  • WOW! This was a weird performance. Chaka was not at her best. I wonder what Fantasia was really thinking!!!

  • @TEESALSAS

    Me too?

    I'm bout to call and ask her

  • 3years nd i cnt work out wht this woman is saying, nd they tlk bout whitney lmao

  • @chesneysimon Um yeah...This was a bad performance for Chaka, but GUESS WHAT!?!? It's 2010, and my momma is STILL goin' strong with lyrics, tracks, appearing on tv, and singing live liek NO OTHER!!!!!! What's Whitney doing?? Cracking every note that comes out of her mouth...She can't sing ANYMORE....She's ruined...Chaka can still KILL that bride on I'm Every Woman like it was yesterday....Can Whitney?? NOPE! Chaka is getting the UNCF Award of Excellence...'NUFF SAID...GO SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE!

  • Why do they keep kissing this jews ass. He's made money off black folks all his life. why don't he go get a job off selling some begals or something.

  • SMH!!!!! This is not musical at all Ms. Khan......Some stuff I can excuse but this "absolutely not " Where they do that at???

  • WAS CHAKA DRUNK OR SOMETHING HORRIBLE PERFORMANCE CHAKA YOU GOT TO DO BETTER

  • Chaka what the hell did you say??? lmaooo I love me some Chaka, but she was a mess in this one lol

  • Chaka musta been drunk or somethin

  • Chaka sound like shit!!!!!!!!

  • i see where tasia gets it from...

  • what happened to the sound?

  • MAN i love when CHAKA uses her voice as an instrument. Beautiful!!! they don't make like this anymore.

  • vote for fantasia new video "bittersweet" on 106&park site or text fan to 79922 so we can get her on countdown

  • funkyyyyy!

  • O_O...................oh god at chaka from 2:48 -- till the end........lmao

    she still one of the best tho even if she was singin under the influence of something strong................fantasia is a legend in the making <3

  • @TheBoldenb Hahahaha Yesssss

  • Mane they did it n Chaka drunk self lol

  • attention all fans please go and request fantasia new single "bittersweet" on your local radios or buy it on itunes so we can help her on the charts

  • Fantasia messed up on the words but still did a phenominal job!

  • Chaka seemed to be back on the Heron--and we have to give Fantasia her due--she is a diva of the first order and like most--she is eclipsed in her prime but will shine on, long after the Alicia Keys, Beyonces and trina's are a foot note.

  • They need a duet for real. Make it happen y'all.

  • I like them both. But that was a hot mess.

  • I liked this colabo. I think Chaka did what she does and Fantasia did her thing in the most humble way not trying to outshine Ms. Chaka. I like Chaka's contribution to the song. She played with it but they complimented each other well. I LOVE the fact that Fantasia can hold her own when performing with ANYBODY without over doing it or trying to outshine or outsing them. That's what makes her even more loveable!!

  • CK must have been sipping something backstage.....

  • chaka khan wasx drunk

  • love it!

  • tASIA CAN HOLD HER OWN... GO CK..

  • now im a fan of chaka but i didn't think she

    sounded that good here. it should have been

    chaka sayinq "i can't do nothinq with tasia" ! lol

  • LOL

    They are good at what they do but they have the song just all over the damn place. I can't keep up no mo!

  • To all who are criticzing Chaka: yes, she's acting high, but that's just chaka. She had her bout with drugs, but even when she was sober, Chaka acts very laid back and drowsy. And i dont see anything wrong with how Chaka sung. She sung the song in the traditional way that 1940s singers would sing it (this is a very old song). Fantasia did kick ass on this song too, though. Her and Chaka are a good combo.

  • @professormotown Also Chaka is a hippie/soul sistah. That was the temperment of the youth in her day, especially artists. They were laid back and care free.

  • Fantasia's run at 5:47 was like birds tip toeing on the clouds.

    that girl is ill with it

  • Chaka was killing them low notes though towards the end they worked it out, but yes, was not too comfortable with Chakas accompaniment during the beggining, Tasia could have done just fine alone, but thats her idle so she was having fun. ;)

  • CHAKA!! what are u doing? lmao saaang Fantasia!!

  • i know she act like she was high on sumtn LMAO...

  • As usual Fantasia did her thing ....but um Chaka Kahn?...WTF??? next time Tasia please do this classic by yourself. Wow!

  • don t miss the final of fantasia vh1 reality show tonite at 10pm est don t miss

  • wtf r yall talkin about? she waz sober then and she is now...since lyk 2004 or 2003

  • Damn... Chaka MUST'A been drunk!!!! WTF?? ;(

  • Tasia Making me Wanna Return To The MIC and Start back singing again...What a gift she has.......lovin it

  • LOL, THEY BOTH WORE THAT OUT!!!

  • Ahhhh what the hell was that Fantashia was Great, but Chaka whoa, hope she didn't get paid for that mess...

  • Why did they put Chaka in the ring with Fantasia the CHAMP.

  • I don't believe Chaka was drunk, I do think that she was on some level competing through her gorgeous smile in front of her "industry friends". Unfortunately it got the best of her, as Fantasia was very much in control.

  • yeah chaka wasnt on it that night. but u know tasia can go with anybody

  • whoever said whitney has no soul does not really understand the concept of the word, its quite embarrasing that you would think the woman dont have no soul, not saying she is the queen of soul but whitney got soul and she emotes it well, better than most. need to relax that ignorance

  • Fantasia did show her up and her Chaka knew it.

  • Chaka need to stop getting high, this is the second performance i watched and felt like she was in the clouds, LMAO.

  • If Chaka was drunk that would be a pisser! did nothing to her range. Jesoos christ

  • See I like this Fantasia, because she reminds me more of the soul mary j blige/india arie/ jill scott type vibe

  • Fantasia is one of the best ive ever heard, she can sing absolutely anything and knock me flat.... poor chaka...

  • Fantasia is so amazing.
