Minnie Riperton (Seeing You This Way)

[megustaBFMV]

i´m a student of classic sing and she makes me feel like a little tiny person but she´s amazing and so great

[hartzaire]

This a GRATE song R.I.P Minnie

[Edbup1]

que registro, sencillamente extraordinaria!

[ale5677]

Amazing performance...She sang like an angel so she deserved a beautiful place like heaven where she is today. R.I.P. - Minnie Riperton.

[soundseeker63]

My gosh, I don't even know what to say about that performance.

Just sublime.

I'm in awe. She is otherworldly.

[jonathan834756]

this is my favorite artist of all time! thank you for posting ! and my favorite song ;)

[freakumboy09]

She was truly an angel

[TheJonblk]

thank you posting! i love minnie

[esmenra]

We miss you Minnie

[panxosolis]

Her high notes sound so refreshing and clear!

[radiootoo]

She sings like she's SAVED!

[iluvmyboba]

@radiootoo Yeah, I like that. There is definitely a purity in Minnie's voice that you just don't hear everyday.

[soulandmore]

Minnie, the best whistler ever!! I get excited every time I hear any song from her, she was one of the best singers of all time. Her live performances were the best!!!! Nobody can sing like her!!!!!or Mariah or Christina, nor Leona, I lvoe all of them, but Minnie were fromouter space!!

[alucardbca]

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[MrGooie]

She makes that HI C 4 look effortlessly

[MrPeputxi]

one of the best voices ever

why she died so young ? :(

[TheJonblk]

@MrPeputxi breast cancer. and she was one of the very first spokeswomen. she also won a courage award and did a commercial for breast cancer

[adric137]

a very versatile voice

[THEmotownboy]

I love this song!! Thanks for posting.

[vveq]

Minnie only lived to be 31- so sad. Her daughter is Maya Rudolph who was on Saturday Night Live from 2000-2007.

[BOYUP]

what church did she go to?

[tubebitch12]

Minnie was by no means a one hit wonder ! she was a prolific singer and did backup to many artists and commercials. and she had many more songs within her. Just like Stevie Wonder said she, was an angel recalled to heaven. She had a voice range far beyond the range of any singer and her voice was crystal clear. She was just a beautiful and exquisite,siren and she is terribly missed. One of her more beautiful songs was "Inside my love" you must listen to it.

[theresa2319]

we love u minnie, no one will never take your pleaces. r.i.p. 10-28-09.

[TheKiozz]

que zarpada esa mina!!!

fue mortal eso!!!!

[68NYC]

Thanks for posting this.

Sometimes we take for granted after an artist and or song is well known that there was a time when the world was first introduced to it.

Thanks again...

[lowenghard]

Double-High C

[clgil77]

Could you imagine if she had still been around today? She would have been one of those divas. But Minnie never had a diva attitude. She was very down to earth and sweet. But her talent is unrecognized. She made a great contribution but she hadn't reached superstar status. Had she had a few more years..she would have had more than Loving You. I hate that VH1 considers her a one hit wonder she had so many songs.

[JBK353]

Are you serious VH1 considers her a one hit wonder? I'm 16 years old and I know Minnie was not a one hit wonder. She has a lot of good songs.

[mmr003]

you are soo right!!! What a smart 16 yr old.

[ssbbw00]

i so agree with u how in the world could this woman have ever been a one hit wonder

[fandeathena25]

I`AM SO AGREE WITH YOU

[bria129312]

this song is so happy

[EBWASH89]

0_0 Omg those notes.

[GQBlue3]

He seems to love her ... I bet he was probably broken up when she passed on.

[mikemike000]

GREAT VOICE LOVE IT.

[ajanithegreat]

wow, what a great voice!

[agrant06]

I wanted to remind everyone to tune in to TV1 broadcast of Unsung featuring Minnie Riperton that will air on June 7th 8:00 Eastern time. I know you Minnie fans will enjoy it very much. Many thanks to SadeO

[trentnjones]

It's here on youtube! Really great show.

[ginmarie75]

THE BEST!

[HotKit]

Seeing you this way makes me feel so happy...seeing you this way makes me feel so good...

[trinasmi]

I was trying to figure out who's show this is!! i noticed she was on there a lot too.

[harvsoul]

Mike Douglas sure LOVED him some Minnie! She was a frequent guest on his show.

[DiscoRules2006]

its a c7 actually

[freakumboy09]

im agree ....

minnie is still ..the biggest, the one and only...

[jvcpvice]

Tnhx friend...

:)

[mistermilkman]

What kind of tuner r u using?

[mistermilkman]

The "Teach Me How 2 Fly" is not a C8. It's a C#7. Her hitting a C8 is rumored, but has yet 2 be heard. She's still the greatest.

[jvcpvice]

What´s the vid friend???

I can´t find it

:s

[jvcpvice]

Wow....

Here was when she did her higher note ever live...

Her double C...that is like a C7 more or less

But thnx 4 the vid...its really beautiful and amazing..

4 ever minnie...the biggest, the one and only...

[jetit]

Love when she hits that.. I just want to Thankyou

[chanteuseCrystal]

lovely!

[trinidk]

ethnic?

[freakumboy09]

minnie was so young!! any artist today at that age have her talent,grace,sophistication,st­yle,natural voice,experince and such a great personality...... too much. but we hope new artist can do the same. cause nowadays they just show us the way they look outside with fancy clothes ice and shit like that.. money...dirty sex and drugs.. but minnie gave us every little simply thing with love cause she was a real artist. even when there's a lot of new kids with talent

[Kateyhall]

Great video.

[trentnjones]

An amazing performance. Effortless and powerful in many different ways. Love her talent. An inspiration. Her speaking voice sounds like Whitney Houston; I only now noticed that.

[ginmarie75]

Minnie's live performances were the best! She sounds even better live! Not many artist can say that.

[ohmshanti5]

it's refreshing to see ethnic women with natural hair viva la 70's

[ssaturn]

that range is so rare. the music biz seems to forget that its a rarity and it should be appreciated because not very many can sing like that. chante moore shanice etc, no credit at all. such a shame.

[regcart]

Just plain PHENOMENAL...Her voice to me is unmatched and i say not even Mariah can hang, Minnie has this control that i dont see in other singers, its just plain natural and easy. Yes a MOVIE would be ideal and Chante Moore would be a front runner and Shanice Wilson should be considered as well a CLOSE second.

[titan123]

Shanice is perfect for the role she has acted before and she has a great voice

[darlingnola]

I had no idea Clarice passed away. She was absolutely integral to MRLPS. So much of what the organization accomplished could not have been done without her (and Michelle, of course).

[MsTexas73]

MRLPS???

[darlingnola]

The now-defunct Minnie Riperton Legacy Preservation Society

[MsTexas73]

thank you.

[panxosolis]

WTF is MRLPS?

[mistermilkman]

It was fan dedicated website 4 Minnie.

[mmemmorry]

I wish someone would tell me when her movie is coming out or is it? Someone on another Minnie You Tube page mentioned it coming out in November of this year. I wrote to the Parade Magazine that comes out in our local Sunday paper asking, but they never printed my question nor did they respond. Anyway,thank you for the wonderful post, you are the best. I go to web everyday looking for you to post something new. It feels good to know some many people love Minnie. May her sister RIP.

[panxosolis]

i search everyday too! LOL

[HevanL]

Your are AMAZING!

[titan123]

We must keep her music alive. A movie needs to be made so everyone know of this wonder

[Brinah]

yeah, i agree! they need to cast someone as minnie with her same vocal range and mannerisms!

[LuvNU75]

I think Chante Moore would be ideal for the role, and besides the vocal chops to pull it off, she favors Minnie and has a cute little Minnie-nose too. LOL

No seriously, Chante genuinely loves Minnie,and I feel that she would bring sincere passion to the part of her idol.

[sharondamedia]

So agree, Chante' did Give Me Time on her new album.And then her and Kenny Lattimore did Here We Go I still have it somewhere I love it!

[panxosolis]

Yes! We, Minnie fans all around the world must do a poll or something!...

[jetit]

love how she hits.. that I just want to Thaaaaaaank you.

[Ratchetchan]

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! I didn't even know she did this live, it's her song with the largest amount of whistles, I think... and the interview was even better than the song.

[mistermilkman]

Nah man...listen 2 'Silent Night, 'We're Going Wrong, 'Minnie's Lament,' 'Expecting,' & 'Reasons,' name a few.

[edosolis]

You are the reencarnation of minnie! thankyou so much!! 5/5 i wish 6/5 LOL

[LuvNU75]

Minnie Riperton...A voice like no other. Thanks again for another installment of Minnie's wonderful legacy of love. Please Keep the Riperton and Jackson families in your prayers as they grieve the loss of Minnie's sister Clarice Riperton-Jackson. Her funeral is tomorrow in Chicago. Clarice inspired Minnie to sing.

R.I.P. sisters.

[agrant06]

That's very sad news. May she rest in peach.

[Brinah]

oh my! how did her sister die?

[CoCMember]

Breast Cancer, coincidently.

[mistermilkman]

AGRANT. I LOVe U...I LOVE U...I LOVE U!!!!!!!
