Jazmine Sullivan performs "Accept What God Allows" on Apollo 

I don't think people realized she hit a Twinkie Clark run at only 11 years old. You can't get this type of raw talent with vocal lessons..you're born with it.

Steve didn't know who he was talking to..

Her voice at 11 is better than most adults.

Jazmine been on the grind and STILL don't get the recognition she deserve!! A dag on shame...

Yo that was AMAZING for anybody let alone an 11 year old

Wow! Her voice at eleven years old is simply amazing. The crowd was terrible.

the world had no idea what they were in store for. and now 17 years later she's still killing it

My right ear really enjoyed this.

That audience was weeeeeaaak! Was any saved folks there? Sheesh!

Vocals & she was only 11 let that sink in

She sounded like one of those holy ghost filled 40 year old evangelist that visit your church during a revival and wrecks the place. I remember being shocked and mesmerized by her as i watched.

I KNOW TWINKIE CLARK WAS HAPPY WHEN SHE HEARD HER SING HER SONG!!

11 years old!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? She straight up testified!

: how did that crowd not go wild after the opening line?! she's 11!! : ]

2:26 she was like, yall not even worthy for it dead ass crowd lmao

She ministered that day.

11 years old with a voice that has such depth. Amazing. This could only come from GOD.

i think this deserved a standing ovation! who sings like this at 11 years old? What in the world?!?! This was remarkable!

Vocals were and still is insane!! Still gives me chills.

Steve didn't know he was talking to a future LEGEND.

"Your trial is but a stepping stone" Yes, God! Hallelujah!

And 15 grammy nominations and #1 hits later she's still killing the game and a force in r&b!!

She was blowing at 11 years old. I love her even more because she's still so awesome.💗😊💗

At 11!!!!!! GEEEEEZ 🙌🏾 ...some gifts are legitimately God given!

this woman was a beast even as a child!

The Apollo got sanctified that night, praise God! She was 11, but she sounded much older. She worked that song like someone who had been singing for decades. She did an awesome job:)

One thing that I really miss with todays R&B are singers who make full exercise of their vocals. I miss the soulful ballads where singers would actually belt out some notes. Hell get gospel with it! I sick of this trap shit and "performers" just singing words into a mike.

crowd was dead af man. she was one of the best performers

She probably should've competed in the amateur night LOL - - - She was WORTHY OF IT!

Still coming here in 2021

Snatched every vocalists wig in the building.... They wasn't ready fa ha!!!!!!!!!

Amazing, her voice is truly a gift from God.

Damn Jazmine was always the truth! Love this woman!

Wow!!! That Karen Clark/Twinkie Clark ending was so amazing.. You know everybody can't do that!!! She was and still is something very special...

Wow!!!!! I was recently on twitter and Missy Elliott said that believe it or not, but jazmine sullivan has been singing like that since she was a kid and it is true! I love that song already but Jazmine hit every note and run as if it was Twinkie Clark singing! Jazmine is a true gem in the music world! A vocal Chameleon!

Never gets old🥲

She could SANG back then too

I just watched her sing the song off the Wiz and it gave me CHILLS!!! Like I still got goosebumps :-)

Just a perfect voice and ability to skillfully express it, at 11.

I watch this like 300 times lol

Wow! Time really does go by so fast. Me and my mama use to watch this every Saturday night. I really do miss my childhood man...I grew up too fast.. lol

Amazing that she was 11 and could sing like that, singing like that requires more than talent but also technique and control which is rare for kids.

Praise God! That child was singing, too God be the glory! ...and the church said AMEN!

Jazmine Sullivan riffs and runs 😭😭😭👀👀👀🏃🏿‍♀️🏃🏿‍♀️🏃🏿‍♀️yeasss girl sing it

This young lady was put on this earth to sing. Wow!!!! I'm glad to see her now as an adult living her dreams. With a voice like that she cannot be held back.

She hit a karen clark sheard run at the end !

God-given talent.

Hey! I remember seeing this on TV when it aired! I remember thinking she could sing, but I didn't know until know that it was THE Jazmine Sullivan. OMG! She is unique and has a special tone and quality all her own. You GO, Jazmine.

2:59 that note. Wow that was amazing

This is really blessing me. I keep listening to it over and over again. Such an annointing.

LMAO!!! THAT. LITTLE. GIRL. KILLED IT!!!!!!!!! Straight out amazing!!!

I would be screaming in the first 49 seconds of her singing

Today she sang her face off at the Super Bowl 2021! 🔥

i feel sick evey time i've watched this over the years when steve looks jazmine in the face making fun of her. she was respectful and almost baffled at why or what he was saying and laughing for? i had a niece like jazmine who was bigger in her class (now 6'5'' athlete)...he is gross here.

I miss that people could sing gospel on national tv shows...and mean it.

Can they bring her as a coach on The Voice… she has been an amazing singer forever. She been doing this since a kid

omg i love that tenor when she first starts off

When you can feel the anointing,🙌🙌🙌

jazmine always brightens my day

i real deal shedded a damn tear

I was 5’8” at 13, shut up Steve. Awww. That was amazing little Jazmine.

Stevie Harvey was a clown for saying what he said he was doing to much

I remember this I watched this and sang it with her I was 18 teen at that time singing in church amen

Jazmine went in!!

Her and Kierra need to collab 🔥

Thank Twinkie for this arrangement that Jazmine nailed!

Wow she was young then 😀Sang it jasmine praise God!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Look at her now beautiful she kilt this ‼‼‼ go go❤❤

I LOVE JAZMINE SULLIVAN!!! This song and hervoics just gave me chills!!

Jasmine Sullivan who woulda thought...just beyond amazing just beautiful

She was a beast at 11🔥🔥🔥

most girls at age 11 sing all high and screching like and for her to sound so full, low and controlled vocally is amazing and her voice carries live with no mic dats a true singer

straight brought a tear to my eye!

This is #1 on my iphone. Every time I plug it in the car this place first. I done sung along to this so many times. Lol

Yesss Jazmine Sullivan :) I am just now seeing this on Monday evening, 12/5/2022 at 10:30 p.m. Sending love to you always from Central Florida. Wayment, I see a video on the side here recommended and it's of Jazmine at the apollo again singing "What God Allows"!

Oh my... hands up in praise. One of my favorite artist

Singing like a grown woman, even then… BEAUTIFUL! 🙌🏽

Hey! I remember seeing this on TV when it aired! I remember thinking she could sing, but I didn't know until know that it was THE Jazmine Sullivan. OMG!

She is Absolutely one of my favorite artists..... I love her... I just told my daughter I probably saw this episode I used to stay up faithfully to watch apollo

wow she was so brave and strong wow I'm blown away wow

This as an 11 year old is astounding

What an amazing voice then & even now It’s hard to believe she was 11 years old with a powerful voice like that!

Oh my God, I had to wait for my goosebumps to subside to even write. She was born a star!

She has been ordained to do this!!! AMAZING!! This truly brings warmth to the spirit and soul!! The works of GOD are wordless in explaining!!

WOW WOW WOW!!!!! That was at 11 years old and she sent chills through me with that. That's nothing but a God-gifted talent right there from Jump Street.

A STAGGERING talent even at that young age. Such mindblowing vocal maturity, command of phrasing, nuance, technique.. just mindblowing...

one of my favorite songs Twinkie Clark sang and maybe wrote as well!!

She just blessed me. Her voice was very mature at such a young age. That's a gift from God if I ever saw one.

Yup Lord! She did that!!

Girl! Y'all Betta quit playing! This is how you know someone was TRULY GIFTED! she's been singing like an adult since she was a child! Stay Blessed Mama! her vocal chords were touched by angels when she was born!

I realise why Jazmine Sullivan is who she is!! She been training that voice since she was a baby!! None of us stand a chance 😂😂😂 she had those RUNS DOWN wayyyy BACK THEN!!!!!! She is a seasoned vocalist

WHERE.IS.THE.VERSION.WITHOUT.THAT.MISSING.RUN!?!?! UGGGGHHHHH.

Her voice is amazing!!! I have NEVER heard a child sing so well. I mean, I havve heard many kids sing in church, and I applaud because of their effort and to encourage them, but this girl... WOW!!! Far from Michael and his siblings being pushed on stage!!! LMAO THIS IS A VOICE FROM GOD!!!!! If I could sing like this I'd NEVER shut up!?! haha

yass wont he do it!!! that baby was blessed from day one.

Everybody should have been on their feet giving her a standing ovation...she killed it!

WOW I REMEMBER THIS EPISODE LOOK AT HER NOW, U NEVER KNOW .

I would have been like " thank u Apollo, Steve imma see u again in the future"! Lol, n the tape would skip in the middle of a run.

Jazmine baby u been a star !!!!!! I’m still in love with u today 😍😍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

YES YES... Jazmine Sullivan was a STAR long before her time!!
