Tamela Mann @2:05 - 2:08 thats one of the sickest runs I've heard her do you, def took it to church!!!

[sexyleog7o]

there's no such thing as trying to sing black soul.. blk ppl aren't the only ones with soul because everyone has a soul just not every1 knows how to sing from it, she does. you are sad and especially when someone is singing to the lord, maybe you just need to go to church

Ummmm I'm SURE THIS WAS REHEARSED. THERE IS NO WAY THAT TAMELA WOULD JUST INTERRUPT CRYSTAL. I'm SURE IT WAS PLANNED> TAMELA IS NOT ANGRY, THAT"S CALLED DESPERATE SINCERITY. It's a BEAUTIFUL THING! I sing similar to Tamela's style ... it's cause I love God, not cause I'm angry.

Very beautiful.

@pildo2000 I'm not judging and I know the word yeah. I said just because if you singing Christian music or claim to be a Christian does not mean you are true. You ever heard of False Prophets? I never said that she was fake or true it's not my call but I made it known just because you sing God's word doesn't mean you are working for him!

[pildo2000]

@MusicGod2008 and if you knew the gospel, you wouldn't judge. ;-)

[MusicGod2008]

Okay, but you act like you know Crystal personally. Just because she is singing gospel and claim to be a Christian does not make her pure not true. If you read the Bible or know so much as you claim to do there are a lot of false prophets. Just because the producers didn't pick her to lead doesn't mean Crystal is the better singer. if you knew anything about music. Crystal vocal mistake and limited range are made apparent @1:37 a pro shouldn't have let that happen at a big BET event n such SMH

[DERLESIA1]

Know that Crystal is a Christian artist and not a gospel artist. Nevertheless, she is a professional artist. Christian music and Gospel Music is two different genres of music which is for sure sanged differently. Chrystal was apparently asked to lead the song and not Tamala and the producers had their reasons. You did say tamela gets overlooked alot, but maybe its because she tries too hard. Let God raise you and wait on your turn...she did not have to do that to Chrystal.Is my point.

[MusicGod2008]

I don't know if she was angry or not but when she came in she came in with power and in your heart you know she sounded good. if her voice is strong oh well if it drowned her out so be it because she was SANGIN!!!

[MusicGod2008]

@DERLESIA1 I don't agree. Just because someone sells more and is more successful doesn't make them a better singer. Tamela may have been angry because she gets overlooked. One thing Crystal doesn't have the soul in her voice that Tamela Mann has...there is a difference if you have any knowledge in music and voices. Crystal was okay in this song but her voice cracked at highest point in the song, I didn't hear you say anything about that?

[DERLESIA1]

Tamela seemed to be angry during her singing. Crystal was stunned at the way she came at her during the solo. Tamela is more professional than that....Tamela has yet to produce the number one albums that Crystal has...the awards and the money. Tamela is good on someoneelses song...but lets see her stand alone and work her career without trying to bling on someoneelses album. She would have been better off on this not showing up.
