Yo you can sing

This woman's vocal range is amazing. Sometimes she sings amazingly high notes where you can clearly hear that she hasn't practiced them much, When I hear them I fear for just a moment, but then she pulls it all off anyhow! that's when I realize that she has considerable guts and talent.
Not to mention her bass skills....

This is so beautiful. It made me cry. I see why she won that Grammy. Congratulations Ms. Spalding. You definitely earned it.

1 Corinthians 13: 1 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5... it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil ...7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
