1. It Only Took A Minute
2. With Open Arms
3. Autumn Leaves (live)
4. I Know You Love Me
5. Run To Me
6. Don't Waist Your Time (live)
7. Why You Wanna Mess It Up
8. Prayer Dance (live)
9. I Can Explain
10. I Can Explain (live)

  • wht song is that at the end

  • @nikkotoogood All the songs are listed in order under the 'more information' tab.

  • Rachelle KILLS Mariah Carey! She is so much more soulful too. There is just no comparison. The only people I would even put on the same level as Rachelle are Chaka Kahn, Ledisi, Anita Baker, Patti Austin and maybe Jill Scott. Ok the reason I say those singers is bcuz they all have the artistry and musicianship as Rachelle, they may not all have the versatility and/or range but they have all mastered their craft and are true musicians (they all also have a jazz influence as well).

  • What about Anita Baker, Stephanie Mills, Patti Labelle, Regina Belle, Teena Marie and Angela Winbush?

  • 1:05-1:17 - whistle with vibrato! Holy cow!

  • Adam Lopez can also use vibratto in WR.

  • @Msredhoney720 Don't forget about Teena Marie and Minnie Riperton!!

  • I saw her in concert and was blown away. This lady hits those notes seated! I am a fan forever. I enjoy all music including opera. I would love to hear her, Kathleen Battle and Andrea do a duet. PURE BEAUTY. Hell I can barely blow candles out and she's putting out house fires, lol!

  • @YourFriendlyPhoto "Besides, I don't want to sit by any un-fun people so thanks for leaving."

    And since you probably were not even at the concert where I was, you wouldn't have been besides me anyway. It never ceases to amaze me how folks just start attacking others because they have a different belief system than what they have. I didn't happen to like what Rachelle was doing at 'THAT particular concert I attended, and here you come trying to make me be wrong about MY thoughts. Get over it.

  • @YourFriendlyPhoto "Hi Nancy...That's just Kooky!"

    Don't expect someone to 'hear you out' when you readily dismiss someone else's thoughts as being kooky just because they don't line up with how you want them to think about Rachelle Farelle. So no I won't be hearing you out. You're entitled to your thoughts and I'm entitled to mine. I don't need you to 'xplain to me what Rachelle does with her voice. I'm a pianist who accompanies singers. I speak from my experience and what is tasteful to me

  • holllyyy fuuuckin shit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @nancydrew5 Hi Nancy...That's just Kooky! Hear me out...I was blessed to be able to go to Rachelle's concert in Los Angeles. She just likes to have fun...with her passion and with her audience. It's so inspiring. She gets to do what she wants to do, what she was blessed to do, and she has fun with it. You could decide to join in the fun of the extra oomph she puts on it...OR NOT. This is just me. Besides, I don't want to sit by any un-fun people so thanks for leaving.

  • Mariah Carey and Rachelle Ferrell are both great talented artists.

  • Mariah wish she can sing can that! Thats SANGING chile lol

  • While i do agree Rachelle Ferrell has an awesome voice and she luxuriates in it, she can do anything with it that she wants. She has an incredible instrument beyond compare. That said, I found myself leaving her concert once at the essence festival many years ago. It was just too much! There is a such thing as taste and just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I would say the same thing with an instrumentalist playing too many notes and totally losing the song itself. This just me.

  • Holy Crap! Not only does she kill Mariah Carey, but she'd nuke Whitney Houston along the way, just for kicks
