[rbryant426]

[aliquebjjolion]

[completemusictv]

that last note sounded like twinkie!

[Jerald2010]

Karen done showed OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kmaur21]

2:46 C6# D6 crazy, she is a trip! 

[singgood4u]

This is by far one of the best performances from K.C.S and she sung this song like NO other artist can or EVER will! words do matter and so does the voice... but n this case she sang on 1000 so.... despite whether the correct words were there you wouldnt notice anyways cuz of the vocals... THE BEST N THE WORLD SAAANNNGG MA!i!

[MrRCollinsIII]

Who ever heard of a 20 sec run, hunh? This is dumb! Just dumb I tell ya......Can someone find the pieces to this song? It's just scattered all over the place! Such a GREAT gift......certainly no one can out riff thee incomparable......Karen V. Clark Sheard! I got chills listening to that 7:00-20 piece......LIKE FOR REAL? WAS SHE SERIOUS??

[kmaur21]

@MrRCollinsIII She was beasting here and I think she hit like a D6 here, and she mad C6's too and B5's just ridiculous Karen, just ridiculous!

[bakerboi23]

that don't make no since! go head

[Mouse111Mickey]

For some reason people like to compare Karen to everybody but I'm going to just put this out there: I am not by any means saying that she is the best singer in the world, but can't nobody shut it down with the runs and riffs like she can. She also does her runs and riffs on impulse which is absolutely amazing. No one can even come close to her in that department.

[mac48203]

OMG...Karen is amazing! She ain't my favorite singer for nothing....@ 6:59 I almost broke my mouse in half...LOL

[trukengrl]

Thank you Jesus we have joy because of you and what you did on the cross!!

[nemesisjq]

Karen is too good. Is dat even humanly possible? lol.1:38 - 1:42 is fire

[facesion]

I was done at 1:40...She play too much....lol, love it!!!!

[okebaram]

The wonderas of His love!

[jonesvj]

She must really felt good that day to be singing like that!

[aijuswanasing06]

[noviaknivek]

LOL I am the same way....like I do my own remixes in the shower..just the other night, I remixed nursery rhymes lol

[narkist123]

THAT NOTE AT THE END} WOW!!!!!!

[powerinpraise2000]

I'm sick of people with this "Big Karen" "skinny Karen" foolishness. She is the best at ANY size. And she's human, she had her off days when she was big too. GEEZ. GOD bless you KCS, keep slayin 4 JESUS

[HisGraceProphetDLK]

amen and I endorse this comment!-- lol

[uranoompaloompah49]

That run at 7:00 sounded higher than a B5, I mean people gasped and raised their hands in shock! Maybe it's the multi-textures and a little hoarseness in her voice and the vid masking the "real" classification. People don't gasp at B5s like that, listen closely when she goes up at 7:00, she definately went into the 6th octave.

[okebaram]

LOL Why wouldn't people gasp and raise hands in shock for a crazy high B5, especially such a powerful one? That is craaazy high, even Karen doesn't belt B5s that often. The note at 7:00 started in Bb5 and slid quickly into a sustained B5, but between 2:47 and 2:49, Karen belted C#6 twice. The B5 was the most attention grabbing though...

[okebaram]

The 2 C#6s are between 2:44 and 2:49

[kmaur21]

She does belt Bb5 B5's like all time in clear voice much like Shun. Those two own them B5 and beyond belts in gospel!

[kmaur21]

7:00 minutes is actually like a C6 the pitch goes up. That is sick how she held that note though.

[kmaur21]

I love KCS B5/C6 in We Must Praise, that C6# she hit Jesus Be a Fence was sick, and those B5's in Oh Glory 2000 was sick too, and that C6# in God's Favor was crazy as well as that D6 in Blessing Me. Karen is mad sick with those belts in clear voice.

[kmaur21]

Yeah she did though Karen is crazy. I wonder what her highest belt is truly?

[kmaur21]

I think this one of the best Karen videos on youtube. I know Karen did mad performances like this in her prime. I wish folks would post her best stuff added to her Sisters too!

[KevinDukekmd]

Agreed. Its one of the Best

[KevinDukekmd]

Yeah I wonder too.

[kmaur21]

I swear KCS hit a D6 in Blessing Me with she sung with Jacky and her sisters 2007 its on hear too. I heard like a C6 and D6 belted out and know KCS probably has a whistle register too. Listen to Be Still My soul like 2:00 minutes into she in whistle.

[SupamanTLP]

i almost fell out my chair on that last one.

[STANDINOUT4CHRIST]

everytime i see this it has that same affect on me !!!!!!...lol

[HisGraceProphetDLK]

The First Lady of Beasts!

[andalite24]

po' speakers, po' mic, po' sound system,cause they ALL got ATE up by Karen!!!

[HisGraceProphetDLK]

I agree with you from 5:00- 7:37-- dead and buried.. lol

[okebaram]

Multiple, powerful Bb5 belts. C#6 belt at 2:46. Another C#6 belt at 2:48. B5 sustained belt at 7:00! I certainly agree, she just went super high when you though she had maxed out.

[kmaur21]

She did like nothing too!

[okebaram]

I love how she came back to the mic, like they need me out there to bring it down again.

[kmaur21]

That was sick how she held that B5 and did them runs at 7:00. This Big Karen right here. BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jmh20087]

Words don't convey what she did to this song....I love everything she does, just when u think she has hit her top note she lets u know im just getting started!! I love it!!!

[uhavechrist]

The First Lady is Dangerous with a microphone.

[cm4j]

who is on the keys?

[cocoabeans111]

Words cannot even explain how I feel after hearing this. This is honestly the best I've heard someone and even this song (joy to the world) in general being sung & it had anointing! My GOD!! KAREN just always know how to BRING THE POWER IN THE HOUSE!!!I LOVED how she went to go sit down after that powerful ending and then went back and tore I MEAN TORE UP the song or the ending of the song even more! Oh God I Love Karen Clark-Sheard...God is soo pleased how she uses her voice for his glory! WOW

[STANDINOUT4CHRIST]

you dont hear vocals compare to this often...at all!!...lol

this lady is blessed!!!...this is crazy

[sunev7]

I love Karen!She's an awesome vocalist.I love how her style has changed with the time.Karen is almost 50 and can still hang with the best of them. I didn't have any problem receiving the message at all from the song.Karen is simply great and will go down as one of the GREATEST singers of her time.

[changingeverymin]

best joy to the world ever!

[Ormaga5]

I miss THIS Karen!

[changingeverymin]

wat u talkin bout she aint gone she can stil tear it up

[LoveSong69]

i agree, i dont hear nothin in here that i cant see her doin now

[bemaniac2]

thats what i say! you think, ok, shes lost the range. 2 weeks later she'll blow your mind lol!

[okebaram]

Yeah, I miss this Karen too!

[kmaur21]

Okebaram I would say this about Karen she can growl the highest. I never heard a singer growl as high as Karen. That is sick!

[bowiehs]

no one can match her vocals!

[DisTRAINbound4GLORY]

good lawwd.. she shut it dwn twice! lol

[QJBDALLAS]

I THANK JESUS EVERYDAY FOR KAREN...Simply......AMAZING!!!­!

[KBCREW]

did anyone notice that on the first ending she ended with "room" instead of sing... but she still murdered the song!

[sc154251]

All Karen fans know that she often has trouble with words. Who needs them with a voice like hers?! :)

[KBCREW]

I totally agree... she does, but something that I noticed was that through the whole Finally Karen Video, she had absolutely NO problems. very note, riff, run, word, was on point! thats seemed to be the peak of Karen... but she is still awesome and I'm still a fan!!!

[MYKEYS3]

On the finally karen recordin u have, if it is not trouble can you post the Oh come let us adore him worship part! Pretty please!

[KBCREW]

if i knew how... lol. if i learn or if anyone lets me know... i will be more than happy to...

[QJBDALLAS]

You are so right...she is the best vocals that has ever hit a mic!!!

[dukeforsinging]

Words are very Important thats where the blessing come from.. It has the msg not the voice.. So Yes we do need words...... Or there is no msg.

[sc154251]

Ok, well don't watch if you aren't getting a message. Good day :).

[dukeforsinging]

sc154251------tell me can a voice tell you what God has done for you? If yes then you are special... Words are very important it doesn't matter how well one can sing.... Think about it..

[sc154251]

You my friend, are delusional if you think that words are "very important"...the ANOINTING destroys the yoke, not some frivolous words. Yes, the lyrics CAN be important but in this instance, they are not. This is "J.T.T.W." for crying out loud...clearly people are listening to the VOICE not the words; they've heard the song tons of times.

[okebaram]

@dukeforsinging of course words are important! If a good voice does anything with regards to the message of the song, it is to emphasize the words, decorating them in a way that cause them to be heard. As far as the whole anointing measurement from emotions/vocals, that's another problem... And sc154251 people hearing a song a million times doesn't mean they have truly heard the words or cannot experience revelation/encouragement hearing the words again! :)

[dukeforsinging]

@okebaram thnk you very much my dear friend :)

[LoveSong69]

she messed up on one word!!!! get a grip!!!! please!!!!

[dukeforsinging]

Love song69 this has nothing to do with Karen.. This comment was a response to sc154251, when a the question was asked who needs word with a voice like this.. thas why i left my comment.. I really love this video and the word she messed up did not change the message.. So pls dont get me wrong now.. have a blessed new year

[KevinDukekmd]

This is a song. As Good as Yolanda is I would put Karen up I doh Think She ready for Karen But She is good, 6:59 - 7:20 Is another killer riff. Karen is wow................ thats a Talent that is being used in the right area. Praising God

[gqpostaboi]

amazing.......what a gift from heaven..

[lilmarq1021]

dang..whoo no words to describe this performace at all "speachless". all I know I love this performance. I favorited it!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOO!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!­!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! :) PRESS 333 if yaww feel me!!!

[shanes254]

this lady would make me compromise my Christianity if I was to talk to her about that ending.

[kmaur21]

I love the way she sung heaven and nature part. To be honest I more impressed when Karen sings in her lower register than all the runs and stuff. I know she going to go crazy with that, but I like when she brings down low!!!!!

[boydab13]

the longest run in history and bro you are CRAZY @ 6:30 she did shut it down!!!!!!!!!!!

[KevinDukekmd]

Glory!!!!

[dltuffy]

she ate this song!!

[play4him2]

Is that Minister Steven Lawrence directing? This sounds like one of his compositions

[PrazHymn83]

Yup, that's Steve Lawrence!

[Godislove452]

See this is what you call natural singingl this is simply amamzing, when u talkn bout range and control, its this. These new singers all about rifts n runs without being effective. But this is rifts runs and range with the annointing

[PhiladelChick09]

4:36-4:38 DEAD! ONLY KAREN

[KevinDukekmd]

4:40 - 5:01 is the killer wow!!!!!!

[PhiladelChick09]

lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala­, lol.

[sunflowermiss]

I offten wonder did Dr.MATTIE Moss-Clark know that her girls would shake and move gospel music the way her girls have done for the past 35 years!

[preachersgrandkid7]

dis woman iz crazi jus actin stupid wit da song some body check her tempature i dink she bout explode

[mtown971]

This woman is just crazy

[fuzz77]

K.C. could just sing mary had a little lamb, and bring down the spirt !!!!!!!

all you new singers, take note !!!!!!!!

[lwcogic]

[preachersgrandkid7]

karen jus ate dat song and spit it out iiiiiiiiii cant believe she can b such a beast

[hervia]

That's too much voice for one woman to have! LOL!

[Godislove452]

SHE WAS JUST a mess from start to finish...but da lelelelelet every, lelelelelet every, lelelelet every heart was not called for.....KAREN OFFICIALLY THE GREATEST....This is top with Kim's Burrell Thank You lord

[unvkpf]

oh my goodness....lawd have mercy

[antharvey]

can you put up Myrna Summers singing Jesus, Precious King?

[sc154251]

I don't have that, sorry.

[brandonelliot]

OK... We all know Karen killed this... I would have thrown somethin str8 at her!!!! How she gonna walk all the way across the stage, sit down, then get back up and kill AGAIN??? LOL she is ridiculous. But the BAND????? OMG... THEY SMAAAAASHED!!!!! Who was the MD? They showed him 4 like a second but the face did not look familiar. LOL and what church was this at??? It kinda looks like Str8 gate in Detroit but i'm not sure

[play4him2]

The composer, MD and Director was the one and only Steve Lawrence, currently at the Potter's House in Dallas TX.

[ScrappyAce]

not anymore...

[cameron270]

This is at Greater Mt. Calvary in DC.

[DatDudeWitLox]

This makes no DAMN sense. Karen should be banned from EVER singing again. A human just should not be able to do those things with their voice.

[mholla206]

love and live for miss karen.. werk!

[TradeSecret]

God is gonna bless you real good for posting this, like Twinkie would say lol. Only thing we need now is Mercy Endureth Forever.

[moekaren]

The director had SOME influence on Karen's motivation and daring by just observing the communication between the two. (ex.) 3:13 - 3:19

Twinkie appeared around 7:13

[dfowlke1]

she kill't dis!!!! is it me or do she look like dorinda around 4:53-4:59?

[sc154251]

LOL YES! Especially with the microphone to the side.

[shanes254]

Yes, that's Dorinda's spitting image. Well not spitting but drooling

[kshawn101]

just lovely

[musiknmyheart]

She just lost her mind during the drive!!! I know this cuz I lost mine too lol!!

[blessdalamb]

OMG she is a beast in this I love it!!!!!
