CHANDRA CURRELLEY Talks Her Favorite Tyler Perry Moments & Teaches TERRELL How to "Holy Shake"! 

Ain’t no Tyler Perry Play without this woman. She deserves her flowers ❤️

Can I just say Terrell be having the best people on his show and I am so happy that this woman is the show finally!!! ❤❤

I still go back and watch her sing “Heaven Waits for Me”, she’s a captivating performer

Chandra Currelley has definitely been a part of many of black kids' childhood! We skipped everybody songs in the play's except Chandra's cause we was waiting to see her incredible performances! ♥️♥️♥️ Love her soo much!! ♥️♥️♥️

I had CHILLS watching her on the Tyler Perry plays as a child. I love Ms. Chandra’s voice, so authentic and pure. Thank you Terrell for bringing her on the show and giving her her flowers 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

People need to understand what an amazing actress this woman is!!!! UNDERRATED!!! 💚🙌🏾

You can’t duplicate that woman’s energy if you tried!!! So much talent.

CHANDRA CURRELLEY is EVERYTHING!!!🥰🎉🎉🎉 My mother passed in 2004, and she was everything to me. Chandra helped me to get a handle on my grief when I was in the audience, and she started singing, "I made it". Chandra, if you see this, I adore you. God bless you.

You can feel the anointing Ms. Currelley has on her. I'm crying just about every song she sang. This is one of my all time favorite episodes!

Her “heaven waits for me” always makes me cry. I love you Chandra

When she said “I made it” during Madea’s Big Happy Family Play, it was the first time I ever cried during a Tyler Perry play. She’s right, as a young girl, all I felt about death was fear but she instilled a different point of view of Heaven for me in that movie.

can we just mention that she looks tf good!?!? the mustard, the red lip, and the brown skin! chileeeeeee. & her body is bodying! the voice is voicing! damn. i hope i age this gracefully ❤🎉🥰

The way Terrell pours love and affirmations into his guests is beautiful! Ms. Chandra is a treasure 💜

The first time I seen Chandra live was in Madea’s Big Happy Family. I was about 10 or 11, maybe 12. When she sang after she crossed over in the play, my entire section was crying. I was crying. But recently, my grandmother passed away in 2021 and we found a letter that she basically wrote for whenever she passes away and it literally said “don’t cry for me, don’t she’d a tear” and that song that Chandra sang as Shirley in that play immediately popped into my mind and I just broke down. My grandmother was actually at that play with me. But that song, and knowing that my grandmother really did make it there helped me process everything way better than I thought I would. I actually haven’t watched that play since my grandmother passed but I think I will this weekend. 💜

Has Chandra been a broadway yet? She NEEDS to be on Broadway! The voice, the presence, the charm!

Terrell is in his bag this season!! I can't wait for this episode!!

She changed my life. She taught me how to show up in full transparency. To see her be so authentic and give her all on the stage, it always brought me to tears . What an ICON and amazing woman. ❤

I just LOVE how giggly, excited, & bubbly Terrell gets when he's impressed & tickled with amazement. I live for his reactions ❤

I am in awe. I had no idea this woman has been singing to me my whole life. I have a new respect and reverence for her as an artist.

I needed this today!!! Terrell did it again!! I love her!!! Y’all gonna put some respect on Ms. Chandra Currelley. This is for the folks that watch all the Tyler Perry plays, movies, and shows. Y’all should know who this woman is!!! She’s been the staple, paper clip, and glue for Tyler Perry’s career. Y’all know that famous signature shimmy shoulder shake from anywhere. While Terrell is at it, he needs to get Cheryl Pepsii Riley, Cassi Davis, Tamar Davis, Stephanie Ferrett, Terrell Carter, Maurice Lauchner, Patrice Lovely (Mattie/Ma), Palmer Williams Jr., Paris Bennett, and both sisters D’Atra Hicks and her sister Taral Hicks. This is just to name a few. We need a Tyler Perry play cast reunion episodes of all the SANGERS. If y’all got anymore, put them on too. 😩😩😭😭😂😂🥹🥹👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️

Both her and Ms. Cheryl Pepsii Riley are iconic!!! Madea's Class Reunion (the special edition one) and Why Did I Get Married are in my top 2 favorite Tyler Perry stageplays. Please have my all time favorite singer Ms. Cheryl Pepsii Riley on here one day. Love you Terrell, God bless you and continue to spread His message 💚

I just love how Terrell pours into the guests with words of affirmations , comfort, and drive to keep going ! Letting them know we see you and we appreciate your gift !! THIS SHOW is what’s needed for the culture because music (and/or God) is where so many of us turn to when we need to be uplifted or just feel like expressing ourselves ! You have both on this show and I Thank you for that !

She has the voice that makes EVERYTHING better. No matter what she sings

Terrell is pure Black Boy Joy!!! The way he pours life and love into every guest is so beautiful. I pray he receives all his flowers as well.

The messages in these Tyler Perry plays were so impacting.... they've saved my life when I was in a dark place and time. Thank you to all the actors, the beautiful musical renditions that brought me to tears and lifted my spirit. Ms. Chandra..... your beautiful, powerful voice and the roles you played moved my spirit, had me doing the holy shake lol....God's continuous blessings to you in your endeavours ❤🎉🎉

WE NEEDED THIS 🙌🏾 Chandra Currelley’s spirit is everything!! I didn’t even realize how much I missed her. This episode was filled with messages, nostalgia and positivity. THANK YOU TERRELL!!!

Between Chandra, Cassie, David, and Tamela, they are the reason for the success of Tyler Perry's plays.

To know that "I made it" moment was improvised speaks volumes to Chandra's theater background. And, her connection with human beings!

Seeing a woman with my skin tone and my eyes being a beast on stage when showing her gift! Qualifies that others made inferior to normal standards. Thank you, Ms, Currelly!

This episode was completely heartwarming and amazing. She most definitely deserves her crown and flowers ❤🌺 🌺

Her singing is so effortless. Just opens her mouth and it tugs right on your soul. Love her ❤

Chandra is a authentic and breath of fresh air. I am honored to watch her use the gift that God had blessed her with. Thank you Terrell for having her sit next to you and effortlessly bless us all with her gift❤❤❤❤❤!!!

This is so soothing. My childhood. She doesn’t even realize the depth of how she has touched my heart over the years and in this episode. ❤️ You can feel her connection to the Lord and that’s what we need ❤️

This is my whole childhood! She is an amazing singer nobody has her voice or the emotions that she brings. I am happy ❤ now get Cheryl Pepsi Riley, Tamar Davis and Stephanie Garrett pleaseeeeeee😊😊😊

OMG!!!! I cried this entire episode. She is strong. She is beautiful. She is intelligent and that VOICE….JESUS….I am so happy that you brought it full circle with the SOS Band….People needed to know that she has BEEN A FORCE. Thank you for this…❤️

This was one of the most wholesome, genuine shows you’ve had on here yet. Her spirit and personality is so powerful. We love you Ms. Chandra ❤❤❤

She had me hooked since class reunion. She’s an angel because I feel it every time she sings 🙏🏾❤️

She is so deserving of all the love and praise she’s receiving and more. The grace she carries so effortlessly is impactful!

This is better than 90% ( if not more) of the shows on television and definitely one of the best things on RU-vid. Not just entertaining but it encourages and nourishes the soul. 💯✨😌💜

I remember her from all the of Tyler Perry plays she play in. She is very blessed with her career. It good to see her on Terrell show 🙂

When she sang, Heaven Waits for Me,... My soul, Lord! The tears touched the tip of the duct... but then I had to dab and keep watching! Ms. Chandra!!! You are phenomenally brilliant in delivering anything you lend your voice to. Thank you for your gift!

I worked with Chandra years ago, and she is a hoot. Such a talented, wise woman and so funny too.

I love and been a fan of this woman for years. So glad she is getting her recognition.

Baby that holy shoulder shake gets me every TIME!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤ I'm glad she's receiving her flowers!!!!!!

I’ve done musical theatre for years. I grew up watching Tyler Perry’s work. I lived in Atlanta for four years. This woman has been such a staple in my upbringing. Thank you T for reintroducing us to her. ❤

Love Chandra! Saw her first with my family in “Madea’s Class Reunion”. Her singing “Heaven Waits For Me” gets me every time. She is so right. That song is SO healing and makes me think of my Mom and Dad who have passed on. They made it. Thank you Chandra for sharing your gift. ❤

I love her. The vibe, charisma, body language, everything 🔥🔥🔥 she’s a gem 💎

I couldnt click this video fas enough.... first encounter was watching bootleg tyler plays.... the looks she gives, her eye focus, the dip of her head, her eyes and body movements..... YOU FEEL IT ALL and BELIEVE IT... because she actually feels and believes every word she states and sings....love her....she is one i would rewind it bout 3, 4 times before i could finish watching the rest of the play...the other was the short haired lady (crissy collins) in the jail scene when she sang while passing out blessings please let some drops fall on me... i ball my eyes out til this day on them scenes...there is NO ONE like her..period

The way she tells a story with her voice is beautiful and strong. It fills up spaces with so much power! I’m so glad Terrell just knows. He really just knows what voices are needed to be shown and displayed.

I had just lost my mom a couple of months before I went to see Madea Big Happy Family play and when she came out as that damn angel and started singing, it broke me down so bad !!!! All I could think about was my mama rejoicing in heaven just like that ❤❤❤

I'm beyond grateful, and filled with joy that Terrell has asked Chandra Currelley to come on his show. This is a moment that I'll never forget. I'm in tear she is truly a gift from God.

OMG I love hearing this woman sing!!! When she sang Rainbow in the sky I had chills for days... She can blow such an awesome talent!!

This woman and them plays were my childhood!!! My inner child has the biggest smile right now ever idk how many times I replayed parts of this when she was singing ugh!! thank you Terrell 🩵🩵🩵

She’s definitely TOP TIER when it came to the plays, one of my favorites from all the people who worked with Tyler Perry. ICONIC

Ms. Chandra if you’re reading this, I want you to know that we thank you for coming on the Terrell Show and sharing your love & light once again. We miss seeing you on our screens & yes I’m speaking for everybody lol. I rewatch the plays OFTEN & it’s always the ones you’re in! My favorites are the ones starring you & I can listen to you sing all day! A true artist & beautiful soul. We may not know you in real life but we can feel it! Forever my Auntie in my head I don’t care lol ❤️ Also, I cannot believe I did not know that you were the voice behind the SOS Band 🤯. I love you guys’ music so much & it makes so much sense now lol

This episode was so FUBU. What a time to witness those plays in real time and to see this legend be celebrated! ❤❤❤

Her performance was always so heart felt and brought me to CHURCH everytime ! I love her !!

The way she sings... the expressions... it draws u in. U can hear everything... feel everything. Love her!

This episode has me cryingggg😭😭 I don’t know why. I LOVE HER! It’s her authenticity for me. 💯 thank you for allowing God to use you MS.CHANDRA!

When she sung and said, “it LOOKED like sun wasn’t gonna shine anymore…” I was done!!!!🥰🥰🥰 She is blessed so blessed. I love her!!!❤

and when she sings, you literally feel everything. its crazy

Madea's Class Reunion is my favorite play as well. As soon as I saw Ms. Chandra, the first thing I thought of was the "Holy shake". Continue allowing God to use you Ms. Chandra and shine your light everywhere you go. Much love and respect!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

MS. CHANDRA, MS. CHANDRA!!! WE LOVE YOU, WE APPRECIATE YOU, WE CELEBRATE YOU AND WE ARE SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU GET YOUR FLOWERS WHILE YOU ARE HERE MAMA!!! My childhood has been shaped by you. Terrell, THANK YOU for this. You are a treasure. May this platform continue to be BLESSED'T! 💗

YES YES YES 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 she deserves all her flowers and more for all the laughs and strength she gave. I remember watching her as a little girl and now I’m here at 23 filled with joy to know that she knows how loved she is. WE LOVE YOU MS. CHANDRA ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

She is so AWESOME. I hope she knows how many times her voice pulled us out of sadness after a repast. I'm so glad we get to give her flowers. Please keep going 🙌🏾

To hear her say she has problems being told “you’re too soulful” speaks to me. People don’t sing anymore with soul especially at my young age of 22, so this just inspired me even more. If breaks your heart hearing someone tell you that when that’s all you got.

The way Terrell breaks down dancing in the background while Ms. Currelley does the Holy Shake is 😄😄😄😄.

13:10 To watch her on tv throughout my entire childhood and hear her voice in PERSON, I would’ve fainted. She’s such a legend😩

She deserves all the flowers given to her! So much more than deserving. What a great woman, what a great talent, what a great impact. ❤

I have no words for the giftedness that oozes from this woman!!! I heard every lesson she taught during this episode!! Thank you Queen Chandra Currelley and thank you Terrell! The people you have on your show..........!!!!!!

This episode had me smiling the entire time. Thank you, Terrell, for always bringing amazing & talented guests on your show. You are a gem! And for Auntie Chandra.. WE LOVE YOU!!! Your light, energy and talent are amazing. You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

I've watched this episode for the upteen time and it's still makes me smile. Chandra is that auntie you always wanted and need in your life. I need her to adopt me! Love this episode.

She is here for such a time as this!!! She reminds me of the seasoned women in my family who have gone on to glory. She made me feel so loved tonight. She made me feel heard and seen. She is a anointed blessing of God!!! We need more of her!!! This generation needs her!!! God we need her. It is like God himself exudes out of her when she sings!!! She is home! She is love! She is comfort. She is peace. She is joy. She is laughter. May God continue to exceed her wildest dreams and goals!!! Tyler Perry we need a show on BET centered around her, the main character!! For the culture!!!!

Can't thank you enough for showing out for the black music community the way you do Terrell. 😫😘😭

❤ Love me some"Shirley". Chandra Currelly is a unique talent. Tyler Perry gave us a peek at this unique & wonderful talent. Terrell thank you

I am SO GLAD you are giving Chandra a spotlight. This woman is SEVERELY underrated- and people use that word so inaccurately, but it is absolutely the case with Chandra! This woman is a BEAST! Thank you, Terrell! WE LOVE YOU, CHANDRA!

I love her...she gives me goosebumps everytime she starts singing...such a blessing and beautiful woman..

I love Chandra Currelley. Especially in madeas big happy family she got me through so much especially since my mama passed she is everything

I love her so much. This episode was so amazing. I went from singing,to crying, to laughing. Her voice is just so mind blowing it just hits my soul like no other.🥰🥰🥰🥰

20:59 "You know, you hear too good for your own good!" So true, Chandra! Terrell's ear for music is directly linked to the wide range of gifted vocalists who have blessed the stage of his studio. And what I noticed way back in his early days on youtube, no matter what critique he had of someone else's performance video, there was always resounding truth in his reaction as well as enough comedy to leave people no choice but to crack up laughing. I thank God for how He's using Terrell to this day to inspire the masses with notable guests like you Chandra, you're so well rounded in talent and I am mighty interested in everything that you do with your craft. God bless and keep you all!

I LOVE CHANDRA!!!! Every play she's in... the songs.... just MOVED me!!! She's definitely a core memory from my childhood.

This moment has gone viral and this show will tooooooo 🥰😂🥰

This is a vocal master class!!! And she is singing down while sitting down yall!!! I love her so much, she is truly an inspiration.

I had the pleasure of seeing her live for 1 or 2 of Tyler Perry’s stage plays as a child, and my eyes always went to her whenever she stepped onto stage. The talent she has and the treasure that she IS. Thank you so much for sharing yourself with the world Chandra, we love you soo much!!❤

Okay! Her spirit is literally EVERYTHING! I can feel her through the screen. What a light. Now I feel bad for always fast forwarding through the singing parts, when I was a child 😭😭😭

The way I had Chandra's version of I Need Thee on my mp3 player when I was a kid. I sat on the bus and learned every inflection and ad-lib. That song brought me THROUGH. Heaven Waits for Me definitely had me bawling when I saw that play live. We love you down Ms. Chandra! Thank you for honoring this queen, Terrell 💜✨

Terrell if u read this, u betta host every freaking music show cuz u know everything about everybody! Im addicted to how flawless your knowledge of black culture is. Thank you for humbling us.

Her parts in the plays are my favorite ❤. I have cried so many happy tears over her singing and dancing ❤️

The way she makes heaven and death seem so beautiful is unreal! She is definitely iconic when it comes to black plays and theatre!

She is GORGEOUS, she's a STAR, she is the MOMENT! This is easily one of my favorite episodes. Thank You for showcasing her and reintroducing her to us!

Wow!!! I love her vocal range and the strength she has in her voice!! Amazing vocals !!!

I love her. She’s definitely one of the most memorable performers in Tyler Perry’s plays.

I LOVE THIS EPISODE!!!! Thank you for having her on the show! Getting to know the real her was a beautiful blast!! The way y’all cut up together…😂😂😂and I’m in Florida, my Uncle is an A.M.E. pastor and his church was cross the railroad tracks, by the orange grove, with a wooden floor and pews!😂😂

I have replayed so many aspects of this episode ❤ When she sang "SOS - Just be good to me" I immediately went back to being a little girl and singing that song with my hairbrush infront of the mirror because My Mom had it stuck on repeat. So many SOS Classics. What a great trip down memory lane with this episode 👏 👌 🙌 ❤

My teenage daughter puts on Madea’s Big Happy Family at least 3 times a week and she absolutely LOVES Chandra’s holy shake and all her roles in Tyler Perry’s plays. Such a joy to see her on the show that I had to leave a comment. Be blessed y’all🙌🏾

My son loves Mrs. Chandra. He knows every song and does the holy shake all the time she does it. When him and his sis gets in lil quarrels he always holla “step over the line Caroline” 😂 and to add he’s 5 😂

Thank you for spotlighting Chandra! She is one of my favorite vocalists. 👏🏽❤️

I needed this. Just lost my big brother to cancer a month ago and this completely changed my perspective on his passing. I cried and did a praise dance in my room all by myself. Thank you for this blessing.

I could listen to her sing all day long ❤❤❤

Mrs. Currelley, I honor you and I thank you!!!! As a Black man who is in the National Tour and Broadway community, let me say I felt it on a DEEP level when you said you made a choice to be part of The Culture because you didn’t see that or get that in traditional America theater. Thank you for your art and telling your story!!! Such an encouragement!❤️❤️
