I've watched a lot of huge choirs perform this in different variations and absolutely no one comes close to this woman, who single-handedly tops them all by just standing there :D. It's such an amazingly powerful and energetic performance.
The story of Jericho is about people trying to oppose the Almighty God in battle. We are all walls of Jericho around each other.... humans. But with God we can each be Joshua fitting the battle of Jericho around us. better sing along this lady..
Look in the Bible under JOSHUA 6:21-27 it says God told Joshua to destroy the entire city of Jericho and kill men, women, teenagers and infants with the sword.
Why are people singing about this terrible event?
@caketheory ew really? that's pretty fucked up. I keep saying a lot of beautiful music comes out of gospel, but what a terrible shame it is that so many people have to look to imaginary sources for powerful inspiration instead of things that actually matter in life like love, family and friendship. and to top it off this one is about mass murder? that's just gross. well she sings amazing though.
@caketheory I'm a muslim, and I'm not entirely sure if we believe in the story of Jericho, but I know that I like this song when anyone sings this because it is epic and catchy, lol. I'm going to sing it in a very formal performance whose name I recall not. I am a musician (I do composing, singing, instruments and working on learning how to DJ), but all this music that I learn is going to be applyed when I become an islamic performer, with varied-genre music about islam.

Never understand how there can be people who felt like clicking "dislike" on a video like this. Racists? Anti-religious types? Deaf and didn't like the video quality?
I'm out of words to express how much i like ya voice. I fell lucky to listen to ya songs.. Moreover i like you more as you used ya potentialities to praise God....
The power of suggestion: if I say that: Joshua drinks a bottle of cherry cola instead of the proper lyric of Joshua wins the battle of Jericho, then you will hear the silly lyric as you listen to the song!
Mahalia, I thank you for your passion. Whether you choose to 'believe' or not, the voice is beyond question. An incredible talent that believers and non believers can appreciate.
You know this song is about Joshua killing every child, woman and man in Jericho? Every infant, every young girl and every young boy were hacked to death by Joshua and his army.
She has a nice voice, but I don't think she read her Bible before she agreed to sing about the glory of killing kids.
@fredsfredX I think she read the bible with more than just her eyes. What God does is always good, just because man can't understand doesn't mean otherwise. Time and time again time has changed mans understanding of God's plan
Female pop singers are not rated on how good they sing but how close they can approximate what Mahalia Jackson did 75 years before, and I'm pretty sure Mahalia did not use auto-tune.
@TwinCities16 If you think that this singing is good, then just you wait till we are in the promised land and the angels of the Lord are singing His praises and Glory.
Praise and glory to our precious Lord Jesus Christ.
hey guys, we (me and my buddy) are new to uploading youtube and as a start we thought of doing a cover of this amazing song by an absolutly amazing women. Check it out and leave a comment if u like =)
On June the 10th 2011 ( before if you cannot make it ), we will all watch " Bad Romance " in honor of the greatest singer ever's new album. Let's give her the best present ever : the highest viewed video on YouTube ! Let's give her what she deserves and what Justin Beiber does not deserve to have!
Copy and paste to all Mother Monster's videos and all music videos let's get this noticed quickly!
Thumbs this up and get it at the top of the page !
heard her back in the day, she was amazing. at some point in her life, she devoted her life to singing gospel and would not longer sing secular songs.
Hey, I’m a young artist, & I would really appreciate it if everyone would check out my cover of Michael Bublé’s “You’re Nobody till Somebody Loves You.” Although I’m knowledgeable that Michael Bublé was not the first to record the song, my version was inspired by his rendition, nonetheless. I promise you that you will not regret giving my version of the song a listen, & it will truly knock you off of your feet! So please listen & enjoy! Thanks!
Wow!!! Loved it and I am certain those that disliked it was just because they need glasses and missed the right button. How could you not enjoy that powerful voice and message.
I sang this song acapella with my 3 friends when we were 13-15, I had no idea then that it was a song with such history. We had a great teacher that taught it. Fantastic!
Thanks so much for this as i have never seen it! I didn't know that he had a show. What a graceful person he seems to be. And Mahalia well she is something else and beyond!
My aunt, my dads sister ,knew her personally.in LA .My aunt was white, she told me she was one of the nicest ladies she had ever met. My aunt just died this last year at age 98 and she told me stories my whole life of how people in the business wouldn't talk to her or touch her because she was black. it is truly shocking to see someone refer to her as a fat black lady singing gospel. I love her because my aunt loved her and I grew up listening to her records.
I seem to recall my Father (who was an Operatic Baratone who could sing Tenor...) telling me that this woman was The one great Black Gospel Singer that had a real voice who didn't scream.
notice any microphone next to her? nope! that is true vocal power and talent.
90% of the singers nowadays wont even be heard about 9 ft. away without microphone. If you actually can sing like this, please feel free to contact me, we will take over the music business ; )
Definitely it's been sped up. She didn't start to sound this high until the mid-sixties. She still had a very deep contralto during the fifties. For example, listen to her version of "My Cathedral" compared to "He Has Never Left Me Alone" both here on youtube..
It's so interesting the difference between her version of that song and the 2000's version of this song. Her "Joshy" and "Jery-cho" are very different than the choral "Jawshua" "Jerichoh." We do it more gospel than she ever intended! :)
whenever i hear Mrs. Mahalia Jackson i think of my mother . she was her favorite gospel singer. since she has left there has not been another gospel singer to take her place . just a wonderful instrument of God.
When I was younger I heard her sing for the first time in my life and her voice and songs really blessed me. I'm in my 50's now and she is still one of my favorite Gospel singers. She gave her all in each song. Her singing touches me so much. Thank you Mahaliah for using that talent to bless others.
We used to sing this song in school...in England that is. Looking back, I think our headmaster must've had an interest in gospel music, as we used to sing this and Oh Mary, Don't You Weep. I don't know anyone else who has any knowledge of these tracks.
What a good strong voice. Her performance seem to shake the rafters everytime she "took it there". She appears to be enjoying doing that. and I enjoy listening to her do it. The Battle of Jericho. Mmph. The way she was blowing, they must have had singers like her. Ooh! Even stronger! Wow.
Cole's show goes back to '57? Wow. His talent was so pure and bright that even a segregated America tuned him in. What a voice, what a man.
And Mahalia - effortless, enthusiastic - choir pipes - summoned from depths of her soul. EP mentioned her often, no doubt he listened to her in wonder, and understood and appreciated her gift.
Thank you for posting it, Emeless. And thanks, Pippi B, for celebrating it.

Cole's show goes back to '57? Wow. His talent was so pure and bright that even a segregated America tuned him in. What a voice, what a man.
And Mahalia - effortless, enthusiastic - choir pipes - summoned from depths of her soul. EP mentioned her often, no doubt he listened to her in wonder, and understood and appreciated her gift.
Thank you for posting it, Emeless. And thanks, Pippi B, for celebrating it.
