[Wiccasfun]

It should not be so hard for you to find them since a lot of them go on to be celebrities and such all from youtube....even the not so great ones.

[DARKNIGHTBEST]

reesejames25 all i have to say most of the stuff you say is correct but all i have to say is when kim burrell came out for the tribute for whitney everybody in the audience stood up and when kim burrell sung her song people was clapping the duet she had with whitney... miss houston was yelling most of the times miss burrell wasnt screaming and if miss burrell wanted to over power whitney she would off.... bottom line they are both good in their seperate way juzt as patti vs arthea

[bjs42]

She looks good!!

[cajaam]

has she lost weight?

[CarmelVirgo76]

[SHALAILA23]

JESUS!!!!! this song is amazing... but htis performance (both live on SB & now on Youtube) is spellbounding and annointed!!! This brought tears of joy & reverence to my eyes and has filled my heart with pure gratitude. God Bless Pastor Burrell and her ministry!!

[atw730]

Burrell's gifts reshape the intersection of performance and ministry; changing lives by demystifying praise and worship to rightly broaden G-d's love and promises.

[MizzJudah]

Im a huge Kim Burrell fan.. This sinew is the ultimate favorite.. Love yhu Kim -Mrs.Larson

[55cabgirl]

nobody on the earth can contend with kim but whitney back in the old days of the height of her career

[insanecaine]

Pants? Really?

[Justmejbird]

@insanecaine You are so ignorant. Keep in mind that they are not in church.

[insanecaine]

@Justmejbird Is that an excuse? If she's represeting God like she says, she should make better choices. I mean, come on - those pants are really quite tight and revealing of her shape.

[iamsaved7]

@insanecaine there is nothing wrong with pants lol... its just that those are unflattering and distracting. Yall COGIC gotta let go of that no pants for women foolishness but she could have worn some less revealing and distracting pants more appropriate for ecclesiastic singing.

[Blesseful1]

She song this from the heart, sometime she can be a little jazzy, but this is the gospel tone that stop you in your tracks, and give GOD all the praides and the glory. Thank U Lord.

[fashionista4533]

She is just a beast singer.

[fashionista4533]

SHE IS JUST GREAT!!!! AND THANK GOD FOR GIVING HER THAT GIFT!

[miccheckone2]

Yessss @ Ray Ray...clean OUT! So much compusure...

[RayRaySag]

From the 3:00 minute mark on Kim sent me clean out of here.

[bholobholo]

thank you Kim !! #crying

[Shortyice30]

Kim and Whitney are good friends, so there is no competition between the two, so please stop trying to make something out of nothing. I love this live version of the song, so soul stirring.

[mrstaylornow]

I LOVE THIS SONG.......

[chanteametcalfe]

What! Whitney ???  Kim ANNOINTED!!! NUFF SAID!

[44aeropostale44]

She is my favorite gospel singer

[chosson76]

Crazy anointed!

[mariejj1338]

I CRY EVERYTIME I LISTEN TO THIS SONG,,,SHE IS AMAZING NO WONDER WHITNEY LOVES HER SO,,,,SO DO I

[letronthedivo]

class act miss kim burrell ladies and gentlemen! =)

[Wiccasfun]

The fact that every time someone gives a great performance that moves people and then Whitney Houston's name just pops out of nowhere in and of itself says ALOT. And Kim is not a "mentor" to Whitney, she's a sista, a friend. Whitney Houston is 47, Kim like 38. I know you're feeling Kim from this performance and ppl realize now that Whitney's open for all kinds of criticism but please have respect for her as a rememberance to what a joy it was to hear her voice at it's finest.

[Wiccasfun]

Well I'm saying WHITNEY HOUSTON is INARGUABLY one of the best singers of all time. Kim is great and in her own category but Im telling you so was Whitney and EVERYONE looks up to her too despite drug problems. I mean, I've heard better vocals from Whitney just like a Kim fan will say shes better, which I MAJORLY disagree but that said this is KIM BURRELL's song not Whitney so let's leave Whitney out of this.

[TheLongingtoexhale]

People!!! Her Name Is Kim Burrell! Not Whitney! Whitney can do her thing and Lord Knows Kim can do hers! Nobody can sleep on her skill, spirit and beauty in giving the message. Glorifying God!

[Holidaystyles9]

I just felt the spirit at the end..Oh Lord!!

[wannadance2praise]

The truth is  there is room for everyone once GOD gives you a gift your are to use it whethner is is for gospel or secular. Also Whitney Houston looks to Kim Burnell as her mentor she preformed with Kim on a Gosel Show honoring her.

[Lederius18]

Her poise and confidence along with that annointed gift just renders me speechless time and time again! Love me some Kim Burrell!

[deadbeatlou]

Ms. Burrell gave this song life through her gift of voice..

[worldchanger32]

SHE FELT THAT THANG @3:16 CLAP CLAP CLAP

[mem3001]

KILLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HI­TTIN THAT SOPRANO

[boipsalmist]

@mem3001 Yes folk think she cant hit it... oh she is Kim Burrell for God sakes she can do just about anything!

[9latrell1]

I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG ONCE I SAW HER SING IT ON SUNDAY BEST! AND I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT OFF MY MIND SINCE! GOD BLESS YOU KIM BURRELL!!!

[jobhunt11]

I love that she likes to sing prayers. She talks to GOD!!! ALLELUIA!!!

[lyfemultimedia]

So good!

[Caramel88Girl]

I love the way she delivers this song!!! Love her voice and stage prescence!! =)

[bowleggedjay]

glory !



[PPMissionChrist]

Open up the doooooorrruummm! Oh yes! I like that, lol

[reesejames25]

Are you kidding me?! Why is there a need to compare her to Whitney Houston?! Anyone who knows anything about music knows that Kim is looked up to by every big name in music (gospel and secular music)! I am not disrespecting Whitney; shes a living legend, but im just saying Kim is in her own category and is arguably one of the best singers of all time.

[liltaeclint]

@reesejames25 and every one knows that every one period looked up 2 whitney houston and still does as an artist every artist out there now gospel or rmb will say whitney is the reason why!

[SANGBOII26]

@reesejames25 You right! they are both in two totally different dimensions, concerning skill and creative flow.. However, know they are both consider to be "ONE OF THE BEST". Both women contain blessings that the average singer dreams' to poses.

[reesejames25]

@SANGBOII26 i agree with you 100%

[DriveAustra]

@reesejames25 Don't fool yourself... many people had no clue who Kim was when she did the tribute to Whitney in 2010 and many have forgotten her since. In the gospel arena she is great, but in the large pop arena she is nowhere near the top. She can't even surpass Fantasia and Beyonce. Just keepin it real here...

[reesejames25]

@DriveAustra Ok, well just from looking at the two people that you named, let me say this:

-Fantasia has been a church girl all of her life, even though she sings secular music. So, i am positive that shes been a huge fan of kim's and i can bet you that if you told Fantasia what you just said, she would slap the ish outta you.

-Beyonce has admitted several times that she studies what Kim does in order to improve herself.

-EVERYONE knew and still knows who Kim Burrel is...are you outta your mind?

[Wiccasfun]

@reesejames25 And I'm sure both of them are more inspired by Whitney...especially Beyonce (the swag jacker Lol but she's great). The fact that you have to undermine another artist to make a point is just repugnant.

[reesejames25]

@Wiccasfun who did I undermine?

[Wiccasfun]

@reesejames25 Whitney Houston in your first comment. It is very offensive to someone who has been in the industry for how many more years than Kim? Has how many more grammys than Kim? Has sold how many more records (probably even only in the gospel genre alone) than Kim? She's sung at places Kim can only dream about right now. No doubt touched more ppl and no doubt (at least to most) her voice WAS much better. Sorry, I like Kim but I think the comment was DEAD wrong.

[reesejames25]

@Wiccasfun You should have looked at the previous comments, because I was responding to someone who said that whitney would have sung this better, and I was just saying that she shouldnt have to be mentioned at all on a kim burrell video. So, get ur facts straight. Plus, im not sure how familiar you are with church and gospel music, but Kim definately has a better a voice in MY opinion!

[Wiccasfun]

@reesejames25 You're lying about comments because I read each one actually (wouldn't have took long then because there were not alot). And fair enough, you have your opinion...but honestly I think you're delusional on that note and I am very familiar with gospel music. Like someone said below, with all that running and riffing all over the place Kim is mostly hit and miss with her performances. Whitney was ALWAYS Hit hit hit hit hit! Not only that but she could sing ANYWHERE!

[Thkmra]

@Wiccasfun ....Seriously???

[Wiccasfun]

@Thkmra Ugh! What?! Yes! Seriously...Obviously.

[Thkmra]

@Wiccasfun Apparently not!! Ur entire post was just.....Let me just put it this way..There is only ONE Kim Burrell!! What she does can NOT be duplicated, nor imitated, unlike some others!! there's a reason Kim is literally 'your favorite singer's, favorite singer'!! Lastly the absurdity of speaking of someone being, 'hit, and miss' is ironical!!

[Wiccasfun]

@Thkmra YOUR entire post is bull. There is ONE of everyone so that's was pretty pointless to say, and miss Kim is actually duplicated quite well, even here on youtube. The only singers who probably really like Kim as a favorite are really urban singers. So make that "your favorite urban singers' favorite singer." And lastly, get real! All that running gets her no where most of the time! Her beginning of the song sounds just like the middle and the end so it's pretty much boring after a point.

[Thkmra]

@Wiccasfun . Show me those 'people on utube' who masterfully, and throughtly create, interweave, and sync runs so effortless, and melodically!! To tall an order, because that is the difrence betwee a skill, and a gift!! If you knew why Kim is considered one of the 'predominate voices of our time', it's not only because her singing talent, it's the annoting by which it manifests itself that canNOT be bough, sold, or taken away!! Again, there's Whitney Houston, but then there's KIM BURRELL!!

[Wiccasfun]

@Thkmra Also, your last comment made me laugh. EVERYTHING Whitney Houston's voice touched before the crack turned to gold! EVERYTHING! before the drugs and the downfall...and even during for a while. But that to the point, yes I think all of Kim's performances are either hit and miss...she either makes me jump through the roof or go to sleep. Not too mention most ppl are giving Whitney a hard time NOW for popularizing that run stuff and she NEVER over used it so imagine what they say about Kim.

[reesejames25]

@Wiccasfun just to correct you, "runs" have been in the black church way before Whitney Houston plus I would like to see a video of a person on youtube singing like Kim Burrell

[Wiccasfun]

@reesejames25 You're not correcting me. You're not even adding to what I said. I didn't say Whitney invented runs. I said she popularized them, along with a lot of others. But it is her style of singing that I hear copied the most with the head voice stuff added and the fast runs, etc. As for youtube singers who sing just as good as Kim? Ha! They're everywhere on here, do your own searches and I'm sure you'll find lots. Runs just as clean and crisp with that over the top feel.

[preacherkidd1]

Kim and Whitney are great, but there's only one who should be called "the voice"and her name is Ms Karen Clark Sheard.

[Wiccasfun]

Kim is great but Whitney "IS" still the voice being that no one still hasn't topped her level of vocal expertise... Just like Aretha is still Queen of Soul even though she can't sing like she used to. Whitney is like, the most copied sound of today, especially by Kim...therefore I don't think it's right to call Kim Burrell "the voice" because she happened to give you goosebumps in this performance. Kirk Franklin needs to be original and come up with his own, original trademark terms.

[musiker247]

2:10-2:15 I can SEE the glory of God on her face! Yesss GAWD!!

[ShareMyWorld28]

Ok, I understand what everyone is saying, I really do. BUT as you all have said Whitney "WAS" the voice none of you have said Whitney "IS" the voice. As we've all experience at some point in our lives, when we dont take care of something, we lose it for one reason or another & when or if we get it back its never the same. Whitney WAS the voice for 25 years but when you get to a point of thinking you're above & can abuse your gift. God will take it & give it to someone else. God bless you Kim!

[Nueckels]

Beautiful! What a voice, what delivery!

[DriveAustra]

I just wanna know why Kirk Franklin has started calling Kim Burrell "The Voice" when we all know Whitney Houston has been "The Voice" for 25 years... I saw this post on facebook and agree 100%.

[FaNessA2Z]

@DriveAustra were talkn about gospel.....she is the voice 4 gospel, God Bless u

[DriveAustra]

@FaNessA2Z I am sorry but that is not a good enough reason to use a living legend's title on someone else because you feel like it. Whitney Houston was the voice during Body Guard and she was the voice to the gospel community during The Preacher's Wife. This is Kirk Franklin creating a salty situation and Kim, who is Whitney's friend should ask him not to call her that...

[FaNessA2Z]

@DriveAustra ok we all got our different opinions....and i am grateful for yours, but please everyone'z opinion is good enough to listen to, cuzz i respect everyone as a person and love everyone and u. If i were about to kill myself and heard Whitney or kim at dat time, i wud say she is the voice, becuzz im still alive today through GOD who gets all the glory! thx u DriveAustra God bless u and i Love u!

[snoopyco07]

@DriveAustra it's just a term, get over it...

[DriveAustra]

@snoopyco07 Well he should not throw her into the firestorm with Whitney. People are talking about the situation and do not like it.

[rahphunk]

Absolutely Amazing!!!

[favored81]
