  • POWERHOUSE SINGER GONE TOO SOON. ALWAYS LOVED HER VOICE.

  • a very powerful voice i love her voice in this a beautiful song you will be miss vesta r.i.p

  • She still had her passion and enthusiasm!

  • Commenting while watching, god, it gets worse... fuck.

  • like a fucktard, if I wasn't clear in my last comment

    

  • I never smoked PCP but that's exactly what I imagined I'd think I could sing like if I did.

  • mmm what a voice...so sad she's gone..wish there was no overdose so she could keep blessing us w/that divine voice

  • @ladymuziklover The autopsy report is back. My V died of hypertension and heart disease. V had been off drugs many many years. We went to the same church, she truly loved Jesus and had totally turned her life over to him. Rumors are terrible. Dont believe them if you dont hear from the horses mouth.

  • @IMissMyMichael thank u 4 the information...after watching unsung it was obvious to me that ms vesta had turned her life around which was gr8...i was not at all implying that she was still on drugs but the unsung segment made reference to sleeping pills being a possible cause of death which is why i said i "wish there was no overdose".. btw, i am not one to believe every rumor i hear

  • No more pills, no more pain but there is peace now she's in a far better place with God. RIP ms. vesta williams u r missed. I'm sure all the angels r enjoying that beautiful voice in heaven

  • Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • Amen. Thank you! 

  • @EvyWeath Shut the hell up ! you will never be where she was .

  • @lexisopretty lol U MAD

  • Now for all those that judged her wrong, my Vesta died of hypertension and heart disease. So leave her alone so my baby can rest in peace.

  • OMG My husband just told me she died, I did not know!

  • Another beautiful voice, another exceptional talent...silent, gone much too soon. Goodbye, Vesta, thank you for the music.

  • So now as long as I can breathe, you'll always be the one for me. I miss you soooooo bad. Ugh!

  • WOW, WHAT A TALENT..

    I wonder what could have been going through her head here, since

    this is ONLY 6days away from her death..?

  • And that is the benediction to a beautiful lady and a beautiful life. She knew the Friend Who Sticks Closer Than a Brother, and she is with Him right now in Heaven, rejoicing. I love you Vesta. Rest in peace Sister.

  • I heard this was the last show she did before she passed...

  • Man this is so sad....days before her death and she looks so very happy and healthy. Just goes to show how we should live our life to the fullest,.. doing what we love to do. You just never know how long you have to live on earth. R.I P Vesta..."congraulationsts" will always have a special place in my music collection.*Heart*

  • RIP VESTA

  • love her 

  • To all the curious, Vesta didn't smoke, drink or do drugs...and she did not I repeat did not commite suicide...

  • @abaide73 we were all her facebook friends and twitter followers and kept up with her even thought she didnt have a current hit record by going to all the shows she gave here in Cali...My heart is still broke..I feel like I lost my family member...I cry everyday and I have to ask how did God allow this to happen.. She loved the Lord and she didnt do anything to anybody...I just cant understand why V. Smh I am sad forever

  • Oh. My heart is hurting! How could this be? How could I not found out about this until now, when I happened to be looking up Ms. Vesta---wanting to know what she was up to now and bracing myself to hear that voice wash all over my soul during this challenging time. Congratulations Ms.Vesta. You blazed through our lives and touched my heart with your voice, your humor and your beauty. RIP and I will always remember your Spirit-filled. True Song...RIP forever.

  • what is happening with all of our greats?

  • Rest in peace, my baby. I love you.

  • @thebooneagency Do you have any more videos of Vesta this night at the Jazz Explosion, if so can you please post them?

  • @monerandall Do you have anymore of the videos from her last performance on September 17, or did anybody video the entire show. I would love to have it. Please let me know.

  • @IMissMyMichael Sorry no I don't have more videos from Vesta's last performance, however TVOne was there recording for Unsung which should air Vesta in January.

  • @thebooneagency Awwwww. Thanks for your response. Unsung is going to air today January 2, 2012 at 8pm pacific time.

  • RIP Vesta. What a beautiful, talented, classy, elegant, sophisticated woman. She was so underrated. Her voice was pure magic. I will miss you Ms. Vesta.

  • Is it just me or does Deborah Cox look like her a little bit?

  • @Jaleel1992 I've been saying that too. When she lost the weight, her and Deborah resemble alot. WOW~!

  • vesta!! wow a voice!! sad that she is gone... If she was going through some sad times or whatever nobody knows.. life can be horrible at times. She is in peace now... love u vesta

  • Rest in Peace Ms. Vesta. I wish I could upload the video of her on the Monique show which was broadcast on 8-11-2011, with her and 3 other diva singers. She was phenomenal.

  • Thank u for this .

  • AWESOME~ THERE IS NO WAY THAT I WILL ACCEPT SHE COMITTED SUICIDE~ SHE WAS GIVING GOD GLORY HONOR & PRAISE IN THIS FINAL SONG~ NOW SHE CAN SING FOR HIM IN THE HEAVENS~ WE LOVE YOU & MISS YOU VESTA~ RIP

  • my life. We dont know when our time is near. This experience opend my eyes to not be afraid of telling the ones you love how you feel about them. Be kind to people you dont know. Even though we may feel like we are in complete controll of our own lives we have to realize that life is to short and fragile to be walking around holding petty grudes against one another... We love you VESTA and the words "thank you" just dont seem like enough for you trusting in us for this opportunity.

  • @MoneRandall

    So very true!!!

  • It was such an honor and a privilege to be able to perform with miss VESTA WILLIAMS!!!! I was playing the bass in this clip... We were honored to be blessed by such a great talent! This is only one out of 7 songs we performed that night and Vesta performed for about 50 people as if it was 50,000! During sound check she was one of the most professional, stern, yet kind and good humored artists I've ever worked with. Her music touched millions and this experience will stay with me for the rest of

  • MY THINGS IS WHY PEOPLE CAN GET ON HERE AND JUDGE SOMEONE YOU NEVERKNOW IF SHE WAS HURTING FROM A BAD BREAKUP BUT ITS ALWAYS A PERSON SAYIN SOMEONE IS ON DOPE I CAN TELL SHE IS HURTIN FROM THA WAY SHE SUNG THIS SONG AND A MAN IS THA REASON ...

  • Wow...Heart wrenching...One of my all time favorite artists. Gone but in NO WAY forgotten. Rest In Paradise VESTA!

  • She looks so good in this performance, but u can tell that she was going through something, kinda like her soul was troubled. I really am sad that this has happened. I grew up listening to this womans beautiful voice. Love you Vesta

  • What a performance of this classic song. With every nuance in every note, every expression, Vesta captured the essence of this song *perfectly.*

    Thebooneagency, I so thank you for sharing Vesta's final(?) performance. I know the audience members are so grateful to have been with her on that night. How I wish I could've been there as well.

    Her performance from 4:29 on ... my goodness. "As long as I can walk this earth and make you laugh .. cry ..." Chilling. We sorely miss & love you

  • RIP Vesta....

  • look at her at 1:20 where she stares at the screen ! can we say if we only knew what was going to happen !

  • So much potetial, gospel, jazz, R&B, dance, disco, techno...she honestly could have done IT ALL. Im areal music lover and Im thinking long and hard...theres NO OTHER female singer, young or old that has or had her POWER and FIRE. When I see and hear her...she's CHAKA, PHYLLIS, JEAN CARNE, ARETHA, CELINE,JENNIFER (both) and many more rolled into one beautiful package. SAD,SAD,SAD!!!!

  • RIP Vesta Williams. Thank you for your music.

  • @ 7980COOL1...I totally agree...so true.

  • This IS Phyllis Hyman all over again, an aging beautiful talented singer whose career was the promised that was NOT kept, seeing classless newcommers like Rhianna sell out arenas & making millions. Worst still ,THIS is a classic example of not having a top mgmt team guiding her (like Whitney Houston and Clive Davis) ! She also had the misfortune of comming on the scene the same time as Anita Baker, Whitney Houston, Angela Winbush, Nickki Howard, & Janet Jackson her label mate at A&M records !

  • @7980COOL1 thats the same thing but I dont she killed herself, A family memeber said she died of natural causes

  • Vesta was truly a gifted singer and beautiful woman! My heart goes out to her family. We will miss her beautiful voice. R.I.P.

  • RIP Sista Vesta.

  • Goodbye Vesta !!!!!!! Rest in Peace Sister !!!!!!! You will not be forgotten !!!!

  • Will she get the next UNSUNG? I would really love to know her real story. Rest in Peace Vesta.

  • just read on her facebook page. a family member of hers says that she died of natural causes.

  • @spirit69warrior They are in denial. Multiple prescribed bottles most empty were found at the scene. Some said she took sleeping pills to get rest. May she rest in eternal peace that she obviously didn't have here in life.

  • Damn, was this really just a week ago???? She looked FAB and tore this song down bad audio and all - she had not lost her gift! May she rest in peace!!!

  • RIP

  • I'm SO AFRAID that she might have done something to what Phyllis Hyman did. I know it's too early to tell because they're still investigating but I hope she didn't kill herself like Phyllis

  • @spirit69warrior I agree. I just wonder why all of these so called devastated friends didn't offer her a place stay while she was in transition. RIP Vesta..BTW She looks a little off and high to me

  • I had the pleasure to be in the audience that night and she gave us the BEST OF VESTA. Not only did she sing beautifully but she shared other talents that God blessed her with. Awesome show and I am truly thanking God for blessing me and family with her laughs and love that night...RIP

  • They did her no justice with that horrible audio but her voice makes up for it... R.I.P

  • Sad, RIP!

  • She was hot

  • R.I.P. Vesta Williams, the world has lost another beautiful voice.

  • Wow...this just breaks my heart. I meet her at Ontario Place when I was twelve and she was the nicest person and so funny.

    Rest in Peace Ms. Williams.

  • this makes me so sad. i was just thinking about her and singing this song the other day!!! smh...you will definitely be missed! i was actually hoping to hear new material..

  • Wow, this is just 5 days before her death. You never know when it's your time...God bless her. R.I.P Vesta...

  • RIP Ms Vesta, the fondest memory I have is when she was on BET back in the day and gave Donny Simpson a fit, flirting on the show. Lots of laughs! She will be missed, she had an amazing voice. Somebody missed this lotto ticket........

  • R.I.P. Vesta...

  • R.I.P Vesta

  • This is sad. The video is not a good sound quality and does not give Vesta justice. A great singer back in the day. RIP Vesta.

    R.I.P. MARY VESTA WILLIAMS

  • Wow sooo heartbreaking

  • What a voice and talent. RIP Ms.Vesta we love you!

  • @MrBillydo I agree. I always liked this song have not heard from her in a while but this reminds me of the last performance by Amy Winehouse.

  • She looks coked out to me. We all have or have had demons.

  • RIP VESTA

  • this has been a BAD day. I live in Virginia not to far from where vesta was here in this video. today now it's raining . thundering tornado watch. . . . wow it has been a gloomy day. I hope it's not truth she died of a overdose because that means she would have another thing in common with someone who she reminds me of . . . Phyllis hyman

    So many memories come to me when I hear Vesta's songs...she was somewhat a comedian, or at least she'd have Donnie Simpson cracking up on Video Soul. True talent gone.
