  • It's no secret tht those "faces" she makes while singing havent helped her career..i mean really..who wants to see tht..they're wayyyy too ugly for me. All of us singers can get the ugly face but her's have ALWAYS bugged the hell out of me..alot of other people I know too. But she can sing her tale off.

  • She makes the faces because she is sanging!

  • now im not insecure for the faces i make when im singing, i know now that i dont have to hide because when i hide it, the song sounds boring and not from the heart...Thank You Ms.Ferrell

Rachelle Ferrell is The Voice of our generation...........It used to be Minnie Ripperton, but the range at which each lady can sing is utterly unbelievable........Go Rachelle!!!!!!! You gots my respect....Yes and I did say gots, I meant to!!

  • WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Go head on girl!!! Rachelle is The Bomb!!! She not only sings she really feels her music, she gets all up in the songs she sing...........She just can't sing, Rachelle blows the roof off and this girl sangs her songs.

  • she is off the chainnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

  • My girl rachelle!!! lol!

  • Ah, people who know of, love and appreciate Rachelle. A songstress and a real person. Grounded, spiritual and true. I've had the pleasure of having her in my life and my world. She knows her talent is a gift and she shares it with us generously and graciously.

  • Why'd she get escorted off? Jesus...this woman was feeling so good.

  • @CaptainMoon Because they had to move the service along. If Jesse Jackson's daughter Santana hadn't sang....Rachelle probably would have had more time. I actually wish Santana had opted out of singing.... :-/

  • @CaptainMoon She didn't get escorted off the stage. Rachelle likes to have someone help her to and from the stage.

  • WHO???? do you know NOW besides her that can SANG LIKE THAT!

  • Amazing

    

  • i can watch this all day....absolutely amazing!

  • I've never heard anything like that. That was amazing.

  • thanks for posting... I had no idea she sung at Bernie's home going neither did I know she was his favorite singer. I love me some Rachelle Ferrell. Great post. An awesome talent. Sometimes when I am listening to the radio ... I am like really...really and you all know I mean

  • absolutely the best vocalist i have ever heard and yes she is very much so underrated, i pray i get the opportunity to meet her!!!

  • Wow!! The choir didn't know what to do. Is she gonna take over?

    THANK YOU LORD!!!!

    The BADDEST vocalist alive!!!! TRUTH.

  • There is a woman in Pitt County area named Ms.Wilder that reminds me of her. She's always encouraging me to come back to the lord. I just found out that she also likes Jazz.. I think she'll love Rachelle.

  • this woman right here is bad  true gift

  • her voice is gorgeous

  • HOW MANY FOLKS YOU KNOW CAN SING A PRAYER LIKE THAT!!

  • She is one of the Best vocalist alive. Her range is out of control, her talent is so out of this world.

  • no one can do it the way she does it ,shes great

  • When is her album going to be release? Her voice is awesome!!

  • she came to earth, went all the way IN and then went out the back, got on a rocket and left the planet ____Flatline___

  • So, here is something else for US to chew on. This woman fought the record industry and won. Their is a price to pay for that. With that said, she has an album that will drop soon and hardcore fans will need to SPREAD THE MESSAGE LIKE CRAZY..................BUY BUY BUY...........I KNOW I PLAN TO SEE IF I CAN GET HER AN IN-STORE PROMO AT A LOCAL NON CHAIN PHILADELPHIA RECORD STORE.................FIGHT THE ESTABLISHMENT AND HELP THIS CREATIVE FREE SPIRITED WOMAN SUCCEDD.....................YE­S

  • @Dix420

    You know we've got to keep Rachelle lifted up! Her music continues to do so much lifting. Like you, I am on the edge of my seat for the new album. Whatever it is, I will support, support, and support with my work, my voice, my dedication, my time and my attention. Thanks so much for the reminder!!!!

  • Make me wanna go to church!!

  • She is the singer's singer. Her vocal range and style is unmatched. Rachelle is a pure vocalist and extremely talented pianist.

    She is so beyond us it is hard to relate. Ever tried to even lip sync Rachelle? Its impossible.

  • Still missing you Mr. Mac...love always.

  • OMG AND SHE'll be in Memphis next weekend. Gotta go!!

  • Girl You had betta Call HIM, DO YOU HEAR ME????? cALL jESUS DOWN FROM GLO REEE tHANK YOU GIRL. hALLELLUJAH!!!!!!. tHANK YOU.

  • like fa real when i say she is the greatest vocalist in the world she is NOBODY can beat her at all i mean who has the skill she has

  • This woman is out of this planet. She has always been so underrated. ;( But she is probably one of the best vocalist alive.

  • @ale5677 i soooo agree!

  • @ale5677 I agree with you about Rachelle being "out of this planet" LOL! and the best female vocalist alive right now. But she's not underrated, Trust me they know who she is. You can't have this much talent and not be known all over the world. She's under-commercialized, because she's not a mainstream artist in the "commercial marketing" sense. Corporations would rather promote garbage (Tits and Ass) over art (respect and consciousness).

  • @ale5677 THIS IS SOOOOOO TRUE. I LOVE ALL HER MUSIK!

  • @ale5677 Most definitely!!! I agree!

  • @ale5677 She is the best vocalist alive, no one can sing like Rachelle on the planet!

  • @ale5677 believe that... this woman is phoenominal???

  • i used to not like her for all the faces she made when she sings. but her voice is so pure and now i luv it.

  • Pound for pound...I don't think it's nobody that can touch this girl on the mic... DAMN!!!!!

  • I would like to know WHERE IS RACHELLE I NEED TO HEAR SOMETHING FROM YA

  • YeaYeaYeaYeaYeaYeaYeah!!!! and Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaah!!!!

  • I LOVE HER AND I ALWAYS HAVE. WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS WOMAN ON THE APOLLO. I CALLED EVERYONE I COULD THINK OF. I TOLD THEM TURN TO THE APOLLO THEATRE. THIS LADY NAMED RACHELLE FERRELL, IS LIFTING THE BOLTS OUT THE SEATS. FOR GOD HAS GIFTED HER WITH A VOICE NO ONE HAS.

  • I mean there is an artist and then there is an ARTIST! Rachelle and Bernie shared that!

  • I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS, THIS WOMAN OUTSINGS AAAAALLLLLL OF THEM OUT THERE TODAY BY FAR!!!!!! THEY CAN'T EVEN COME TO HER! WHO DO YOU KNOW THAT CAN SING LIKE THIS?!

  • wow, i'm speechless! rachelle is a jewel.

  • @jazzscherzo Because she doesnt get naked and dance like a stripper

  • ... je suis fan depuis un bon moment mais elle arrive toujours à me rendre fou... quelle voix... quelle âme... que du bonheur... merci, merci et encore merci... longue vie à toi... fais-nous vibrer encore longtemps... Rachelle je t'aime !

  • I've been a fan for a loong time! Everybody knows that the music industry is a joke, if uain't dropping it like's hot or showing on ur goods they don't look @ u twice, but Rachelle is still being blessed to b able to share her talent to the WORLD, did u know she speaks french too, yeah the sista is BAAD!

  • Way I'm just seeing this in Today Sep 2,2010 My Lord sanging & sanging & Dressed to kill Good is Good my Bernie Mac RIP !!

  • Where you been?

  • @jazzscherzo I'm with you. She is all that!! Period!!! She should be on the top of the charts.

  • This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen or heard. I am moved to tears.

  • Just amazing, nobody comes even near...

  • This girl is just amazing, I felt the spirit as she praised the most high my lord and savior jesus christ, just amazing. bernie had to be smiling after this tribut ot him. thisgirl is awesome no fake here jsut the powere of god. i enjoyed this sorry it took so long to see it. WOW

  • Awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • her voice is amazing...

  • Now thats a SAANGER!!! There are those that can sing and then there are some that can SAANG. I felt that!! SANGERS will do that to you. Go head girl!!!!!!! SAAANG!!!!

  • All I can say is & I know that this might be inappropriate, but DAMN!!!!

    THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

    She always had the talent & I definitely think that she is one gifted singer that is under rated. She deserves to be up there with Patti LaBelle & Aretha Frankllin. These singers today just don't know!

  • I feel guilty for avoiding the Lord for too long now...

  • (wiping tears) this woman is the best. Period.

  • This was an outstanding tribute and performance to Bernie Mac! Rachelle Ferrell has always impressed me with her vocal talent and I would love to train under her. However, much of what she does is just her gift, personality and flair, never to be duplicated! Sing On.............

  • @jazzscherzo They tried to make her famous. She walked away from it and decided to do it her way. Best thing she ever did.

  • love rachelle ferrell she betta go head

  • I am without words. This was the greatest vocal performance I have ever heard, she left no stone unturned, every emotion was covered in spades.

    Aretha the undisputed queen of soul might consider giving her crown to this soul princess, just to insure the torch is passed to it's rightful holder.

  • The SPIRIT! Its hurts me when breath taking voices like this don't make it BIG!

  • Amazing Gifted From God !!!! Thank you Lord!!!! were can you buy this

  • yes i really agree with u on da "jasscherzo" i've been listening to Rachelle Ferrell since i was 15;) and i love her ever since.... but u right about dat she really don't get the credit that she deserves..... R.I.P Bernie Mac miss you!!! and Rachelle Ferrell sho nough did her THING;)

  • Yes Yes Yes Thank You Lord Praise His Wonderful Name!!!! Rachelle Ferrell

    Amazing Gifted From God

    can't stop playing this song over and over again very up-lifting

  • I'm in tears......no matter what genre of music that speaks of Jesus, I praise him...

  • jazzcherzo you are so correct. This gifted woman has never gotten the exposure she well deserves. When I first heard her cd in the 90s I was hooked and been hooked every since.

  • she is amazing...

  • FLAWLESS!!!!!!!!Keep on praising God Rachelle The Music Industry Cheated You But I Promise God will bless you with even MORE .....THANKS FOR THE POST

  • VOCAL CHAMPION!!!!

  • She is awesome. It almost brought me to tears. She was gettin her praise on while honoring Mac's life.

  • Thank you rachelle for this song! Words can't express what you gave to me thru this song of thanksgiving! KEEP ON KEEPING REAL MUSIC ALIVE! GOD BLESS YA REAL GOOD SIS!

  • @jazzscherzo It was due the the initial contract she signed for her first record deal. It kept her on a very short leash for more than a decade.

  • "time so short", to have a great gifted comedian as Bernie.

    Thank you for allowing him to share his gift with us,. Thank You Lord

  • An awesome performer that has not been given her due by main stream, however those of us who have experienced Rachelle either live or by way of cd/dvd know what an incredible artist she is........WOW!

  • How Amazing. I have so loved Rachelle Ferrell for some years now. My husband bought tickets to see her in concert years ago in Dallas. Thanks Roland for sharing with us. I loved Bernie Mac too....Gone so soon. Loving her hair style. She is blessed beyond measure with a voice like that. Thanks be to God for her.....she uses her gift completely.

  • she looks like whoopi goldberg

  • She if absolutely, phenominal!!!!  Go Ms. Ferrell!

  • Her vocal control is amazing!!!

  • The Mac was my Favorite Comic..God Bless His Soul.........Ceasar Elloie/New Orleans

  • Thank you Lord!!!

  • what a performance! Lol

  • this woman has such an amazing way of playing with her voice.i first heard her voice as a background vocalist for Doc Powell(Sunday morning).you only get this kind of performance on edited versions.amazing

  • WOW!!! Awesome!!!

  • @suave1906 A female Al Jarreau!!!! She was a music teacher before she came into the business. When I first heard her in the early 90's, I said this sister can blow..Saw her on the Apollo show, and watched how she really got into her music..The girl can make some faces when she sing, but she be tearing that song up, down, throw it sideways and then start all over again...You go Rachelle....

  • Wow! That was phenomenal! Miss Ferrell is truly the best!

  • She can stinking sing man!!!!! WOW. Amazing. Whoooooooo! 4:36!! OMG. Chills!!!! Chills!!!! OMG. Thank you Lord!

  • She is one who all u can do when she SANG is shake ur head and make an ugly face....lol

  • @MyLifesPromise....YES.....

  • @jazzscherzo You know sex sells....and if ur not half naked, singing about sex, or look like ur doing it....You dont get exposure...And unfortunately a lot of people arent getting the exposure they deserve....I had someone just the other day ask me who she was and who Will Downing was...and I know hes OVER the age of 25 {believe in his late 20s to early 30s}

  • Lady Rachelle has no equal. Her vocal dexterity is truly amazing. And listen to her play the piano! Can you imagine her at church playing the organ? Chills run through me every single time I hear this!

  • @jazzscherzo it's so true. some people are just too talented to go commercial. I heard her perform live last night and it was unbelievable. What a gift she is.

  • @EmmaWeisberg1 In total agreement!!!! If she had become commercially successful, her voice and talent would be so overused and worn out. She is smart. I am certain that she has been approached by big record companies. I'm certain that she has refused.

  • @etanielyehuda Do you think she would of sacrificed her individuality to go commercial? I saw her live in a small, intimate jazz club this past wednesday. It was absolutely amazing. Every performance of hers just makes me more obsessed

  • @EmmaWeisberg1 as many years as she's been around and hasnt done it yet...I doubt she will do it now...I think it just take people pushing her and making the radio stations give people like her attention....{dont listen to the radio much bc of the music they play but if they played more artist like her, I'd listen more often}

  • dang talk about opening your mouth she got a big mouth and know how to use but did she have a real song

  • What god has for you...TRULY IS FOR YOU!!! You can't be taught to sing like this. This golden instrument in her throat is ridiculous and unparalleled. My god, she gave vocal masterclass at a funeral.....IM DONE

  • Goose bumps!!!

  • all i can say is WOW!!!! i grew up on listening to her gift and to watch the lord use her was a blessing. U GO GIRL!!!!! STILL MY FAV
