  • For those I've Loved and Lost...Forever in my Heart....

  • Stephanie Mills has done nothing to equal her "Home" performance. No matter how many singers do this song, they cannot equal her rendition of "Home" in the Broadway play of "The Wiz". I think this play is one of the icons of American musical performances. She is unsurpassable. Go girl!

  • this soooo good .......all i can do is cry like a big baby......damn Stepanie please !!

  • AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG There are not many singers like this making music today

  • I remember 10 years ago my mom would play the Home album on tape when she was taking me home from school.

  • AND LET THE AUDIENCE SAY AMEN,AMEN! SSHHHHE TORE IT UP! I REMEMBER SEEING HER SING THIS AS A TEENAGER THE DAY IT AIRED ON THE APOLLO. SIMPLY THE BEST. TILTHIS DAY, SEE'N THIS SENDS CHILLS THROUGH MY BODY. AS A TEENAGER, I WOULD STAND IN THE MIRROR AND IMMITATE HER BECAUSE WE'RE BOTH THE SAME HEIGHT. SO, I THOUGHT I WAS STEPHANIE. LOL.

  • She's a real diva!

  • I remember seeing this at a friend's house and almost being in tears because I wasn't home recording it. Now I'm seeing this for the first time SINCE!!!!! There will NEVER be anyone who can sang AND perform like this!!!

  • Hurricane Stephanie landed on the Apollo in NYC and blew the roof off that joint....TRUE TALENT...TRUE SKILL....very few artist today have such talent and skill. Its a shame.

  • Comment removed

  • This kinda performance had the audience goiong , and the love they showed forced her to give it right back. Thats black love right there. Damn I miss the apollo

  • Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Stephanie yes yes yes.....she ate this up. i've seen her do this song a million and never saw her take it to the place she did in this performance. i'm sorry ....im gagging!!!! @5:01 in this song i hit the floor. real talk!!

  • Damn she brought the damn house down at the Apollo. Sinbad got a lil smooch at the end. Man he was in his glory. Stephanie please sang that song yea yea yea.

  • That lil heffa wrecked tthat!!!!!

  • My goodness this woman is talented.

  • I am a better human being for having heard this all but perfect piece of music. God has a special room for Sister Stephanie back Home.

  • pure sangn,,,,,,,1:15-1:20,,,,gagg

  • All I have to say is......she killed this sh*t

  • Now ya'll know that at 5:01-5:03, everyone in that audience went home to be with the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

  • She was sangin'!

  • that lady wow no work omg only thing i wish is that I could have been there i think the Lord someone got that on tape. Nobody can sing like that these days I need some singers to watch this and take note's

  • omg!!! i always knew ms. stephanie could sang, but this is one of the all time best live performances i have EVER seen!

  • nice

  • Comment removed

  • beautiful song

  • @pajamagirl123, thats probably true. i wasnt born at the time either so i cant be to sure. but that sounds probable

  • WOW!!!!!!!!WOW!!!!!!!, It Is Giving Me Butterflies!!!!!!, You Know We Had The Best Of The Best Back In The Day!!!, Meeting Her Was Soooooooo, Awesome In 2008!!!!!, She Gave Me A Kiss And Rose And I Could Have Just Drop To My Kneess!!!!!!, A Woman Of Beauty!!!!!

  • theres absolutely no reason y she didnt get this part in the movie. she wouldve dumped on diana ross

  • So y did Diana Ross get the part of dorothy in the movie??

  • @sactownboss i think its because she was a bigger name at the time? And I'm pretty sure with Diana then they would have gotten Micheal also, because they were good friends at the time. I wasn't born at the time so I can't be sure lol but that's just what I think happened.

  • WOW! I have NEVER like ANYONE'S live performance over the recording. This is the exception! This woman defines "sanging"! Chill bumps, tears, shouts of joy over this rendition! Lord, this woman should really more popular than Whitney, Beyonce and Janet COMBINED! God Bless you Ms. Mills!

  • These kids don't sing like this anymore. Love ya Stephanie

  • Fantastic

  • Wow she shut that place down

  • This just send chills all threw my bones !!!!!!!!!!

  • am i the only one who broke down to tears?

  • it is amazing a woman so small have such a huge voice.

  • Goooooo Cookieeeee

  • She so beautiful and so damn talented.

  • Damn!! This is some REAL singing.

  • What she did at 5:01 came so effortlessly to her. Nowadays, "singers" sound like they're stuttering trying to emulate a sound that they can NEVER copy.

  • @mars0266 To do that so late in the song is amazing!

  • Close the curtains, turn off the lights, lock the doors.........THAT WAS THE SHOWSTOPPER.......everytime I watch this I get chills

    Someone needs to call the police......STEPHANIE JUST STOLE THE SHOW!!!

  • @longnthick2 I really really really miss the days when there was one singer and one mic stand. Just post up and BLOW! That's the test of true talent.

  • THE definitive version of HOME. With apologies to Miss Ross, no-one TOUCHES Miss Mills' interpretation. Electrifying. And yes..that riff at 5:01-5:03 is the moment when she seals the deal. :)

  • @vwpnla perfection right down to that deep bow at the end.

  • EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO THIS (and it's been many, many times) I STILL AM MOVED.

  • is it true shes only 4 feet?

  • I had the pleasure of seeing her in concert in 1980's and I was blown away. She gives one the best performances I have ever seen and that includes Patti, Luther, Gladys, etc. I dont know why they never gave her her just dues or got a good record company behind her but it is definetly their loss as well as ours. Great Woman with a GOD given instrument!!!

  • No dancers, no pyrotechnics, no special effects, no computer assisted voice, no hoochie outfit, and no lip-synching. Just PURE TALENT. Any of the so-called singers on the charts now want to try to do this? If some of these girls didn't run around the stage half-naked, no one would pay to see their shows. Hell, you can just save money and go to a strip club for less.  At least you'd get a lap dance, too - LOL!

  • OMG< wowwwwwwww.

  • I get chills every time. Where oh where is she now and why is she not recording. I adore her and want to hear her again and see her perform live. Stephanie, where ever you are, come back to us, please.

  • there is no one like this woman, I simply adore her talent. I wish i could have seen The Wiz in the original cast.

  • OMG. Pure talent.

  • She turned this OUUUUUUUUUTTTT!!

  • @ddlast Indeed....The girl is Bad!!!

  • Beyonce will never be a Stephainie Mills, not in this life!!!

  • only Stephanie can do this ! enough said!

  • Man she DID THAT. This version should've been released. Every note was perfect! She should've been in the middle of the stage when she hit that bridge with the long note....chills...

  • SING STEPHANIE!! I thought I was about to have church at the 5:02 mark!!

  • @MysticStranger so true! now thats sanging! One class act for sure....this is my all time fav song!

  • love her we have the same name I spell it the same way miss her

  • notice how stephanie works that crowd all by herself. she doesnt need a posse of people on stage or other half-naked girls shaking all over the place. She may be a small woman but she is powerfully talented with a strong beautiful voice.

  • @summersbr1 amen i am so sick of these girls walking around exposing themselves what happenened to having class i feel if they have to take off their clothes to get attention they never had talent from the beginning beyonce,rihanna all of them need an etiquette class

  • @babydollatl, I agree 100%. i've never understood why it was necessary to get half-naked to perform. Whats the logic? Is it supposed to make the song sound better? lol. Give me Patti LaBelle, Gladys Knight, Sade, Chaka Khan and Stephanie Mills (with clothes on) and they sing a circle around these female singers today

  • I remember her singing this. She came on in and sannng that song!!!!!

  • THE UNCROWNED QUEEN!!!!

  • Harlem, USA represent! General Grant Houses, otherwise known as 'the projects' produced a gem of a sister in Sister Stephanie!

  • That song can be song in church!! Wow!!!!

  • I hate how Never Knew Love Like This really doesn't showcase how freakin talented Miss Mills is... She is everthing that a true DIVA is and even calling her a Diva doesn't describe this AMAZING woman. MUCH LOVE xxxx

  • Sing Stephanie, I haven't heard one yet that comes close to your voice, Whitney sings this pretty good too..but not like you. I loved this back in the day and it still sounds good today. Much Love!!!

  • Still don't understand why it's taking so long for her to get some kind of recognition...1 of the very few who gives 100% to every performance...

  • @antwannd

    Do you know how long Ms Mills has been around, she got recognition back in the day.

  • She won't take off her clothes - and sell her soul - this is why commercial fame is fleeting. However, with that voice she'll always 'eat' and her bank account will never say 'insufficient funds'. Sadly, her former manager damn near cleaned her out like Melba Moore's ex-husband did her. Fortunately for Sister Stephanie she had friends in 'high places' like the 'suit and bowties' that helped her get it straight.

  • Although I can appreciate Stephanie's music, Im not the biggest Stephanie fan. With that said SHE SUNG THE HELL OUT OF THAT SONG!!! I miss real performances like this. Thank God for youtube

  • What she did at 5:01 (when she said Stephanie Please!) was nothing short of miraculous!

  • @TJNYC118 that was so on point...talent...oh boy she overflows

  • @TJNYC118 

  • @TJNYC118 I see your comment is 11 months old. Still, may I agree with your observation. Indeed it was amazing beyond belief. I discovered tonight, based on this live performance, that no one could sing better than this. Oh my God, what a miracle it is. I ain't kiddin. And I'm still trying to figure out how the hell she did what she did at 5:01. That's impossible to do!

  • @TJNYC118 I was gonna say the same thing she KILLED! that performance. One of my all time favorites.

  • Hands down...this was INCREDIBLEUNBELIEVABLE and in some ways better than Whitney's.Yeah I said it.

  • 100 right

  • Yes, this was better than Whitney's; and I am a huge fan of hers.

  • Wow, she was a little before my time, but f*ck, she destroyed the stage wit that. I vaguely had heard of her but NEVER knew she could sing like THAT. It was all mariah/whitney stuff when I was young.

    But damn, I must say, uhhh that was uniquely comparable to whitney's and mariah's...anything.

    Excellent.

  • I have never seen Mariah perform like that, not even in her prime.  Now Whitney has given comparable performances for sure, but not better.

  • I agree with you about Mariah, but I think she has given some stellar vocals live, but not better than this. However Whitney, well, that's just a different story. Some of her late 80s performance of like All the man That I need and Didn't we almost have it all were staples in pop culture.

    Stephanie was no dog though, this is a staple in and of itself. :)

  • Nene go watch Whitney Houston Grammy performance for the Greatest Love. That performance from whitney is the best EVER.....This Home song is number 2

  • Man, man, man. What can you say about Ms. Mills, SHE IS god! One of the greatest of all time period. This woman's voice is annointed by God! We have to fall back and give it up for she is deserving. May God continue to bless her!!!

  • Sang dat sh-t!

  • I can't listen to it enough.....

  • damn good performance...one of a kind

    she exudes talent...

  • That has GOT to be one of the BEST of the BEST I've EVER seen in my entire life. This performance had it ALL. Vocals, stage presence, charisma, captivating, crowd pleasing, and the bow at the end.........graceful and humble. Ummm, does THIS exist at all today. Someone send me a performance of an artist today that has ALL that. Just excellent!

  • Yes! Miss Stephanie, is utterly masterful herein; I couldn't agree with you more.

    Simply breath-taking, spell-binding and spine-tingling Brilliance.

  • Holy Shit! I'm surprised the building didnt burn down from that performance....cause she was on fucking fire!!!! Now THAT is a performance! Just raw, vocal talent! Simply SUPERB!!!

  • Holy What? wow please ask God for forgivness

  • As for the Holy Shit! ~

    bklyngato, you made me laugh soooooooooooooooo much ~ thank you.

    Reverend Benjamin

  • She should be more famous 'cause 1. she's a posterchild dramatic mezzo sopranos. 2. She can still sing that mothafucka like it's 198-mothafuckin'-9.

  • this is by far the best performence everrrr

  • real singing rite there

I hope she comes to the East Coast...maybe to Atlantic City. Thanks again for such great news!  I'll have to check out the interview.

  • this is what R&B use to be all about

  • When is Stephanie Mills going back on the road? I love her; she has one of the greatest femaile singing voices ever! Stephanie, please give us another album or just come on back out on the road and tour! We miss you! Show these young girls how to get it done!
