KAREN CLARK SHEARD x BALM IN GILEAD / Voice Teacher Analyzes 

One of the best vocalist to ever exist. She does it like it’s nothing. Praise God.

shoutout to the choir though, they modulated right with her and didn’t miss one note! whew!

All of them changed music history forever. From their mom, to them, to now the grandchildren. Crazy talent!

Idk how she sung like this the ENTIRE night and only had one sip of water 😂 I watched Finally Karen probably a 100 times 😮‍💨 this was a good video and your voice is 🔥 too 👏🏽👏🏽

This is dude is the best. Many of these channels but it helps if you kind of KNOW OUR community and they way we express! Plus OMG you can actually sing the notes! I have never heard that from any of these review channels. You Jaron are the truth bro.

I was at this recording at Bailey Cathedral in Detroit, MI. It was absolutely unforgettable. She forever gained a fan with the way she turned this entire album out. I still listen to it to this day. The Clark Sisters are pioneers. Your review of this song is spot on, it is a difficult song that she makes look effortless.

And jaron I’ve said this already but YOUR range is DISRESPECTFUL ❤️❤️❤️! You better sing sir! We love a PROFESSIONAL singer and teacher WITH KNOWLEDGE !

When people ask what album reminds me of my childhood, the answer is always Finally Karen for me. My family is SDA and my mother played this EVERY sabbath morning for months. Before my sister was stringing multiple sentences together, she took her pacifier out and sung this song word for word. We were shocked. My sister learned how to sing by listening to this album. This lime green CD cover is engraved in my mind forever. Karen Clark-Sheard is a top 3 singer ever in my eyes. You definitely did her justice with this video. God bless her

Heavy on the she makes it look easy. I put this song on when I clean. Every time I attempt it, I’m sorely reminded that i could never 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That song is a hit because of Karen's vocals and Donald Lawrence's direction.

Her range is literally endless. 😫

i love how she uses her jaw and mouth shape so much when she's singing.

Karen clark sheard is giving a vocal master class here. Nobody sings like this.. crazy.. love her!! Living legend

I had this concert on VHS and played it to death! 😆 So many outstanding riffs and runs. One of my favs is when she sounds like a siren singing at 8:45 “if you need a laaawwwyyeeerr, he’ll meet you in the court room” My God, what a timeless classic!

Sis Clarke is giving a nod to Michael Jackson with her "uniform" and Earth Wind & Fire with the "Oh-OO-Oh". Though the Clark Sisters are straight COGIC, they definitely have an R&B influence.

The Queen of ALL Sopranos Et Gospel Artists! Love me some Lady Karen! She’s a masterclass in vocal technique and execution! This is by far one of my favorite gospel songs of ALL time! A true praise BOP! ❤️

Auntie was in her prime and this my favorite era of her vocals😩💕

Those Clark Sisters have some BEAUTIFUL voices. Their vocal acrobatics are amazing

Growing up a white Catholic kid with what he thought was a little bit of soul who just loved good singers, I thought I knew great singers. Then I heard this for the first time and I realized that if Karen Clark Sheard is not in your discussion of the objectively greatest voices of all time, you can’t be taken seriously.

Don’t forget that she had braces in this video. When you have braces a lot of time it also makes you talk and or sing in a way so that your braces don’t get caught on the interiors of the mouth. Still outstanding singing by First Lady Sheard while wearing orthodontics. Haha she can’t be beat! EVAA!

I love how Karen made it her own! This song was on their album Heart and Soul back in 1985 and then Karen did it on her debut album Finally Karen in 1997. Detroit's own!!!!!! I love how they remained in Detroit and surrounding areas!

You be so on point! I JUST finished watching their making of their Return album and it was AMAZING watching them and hearing them create that Clark Sisters sound. Karen be tearing them vowels UP!!🤦🏾‍♂️🥳😝🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥 iconic vocals. The runs. The SCATS. Who else can echo themself and make it sound good?! 🤷🏾‍♂️🔥🔥😝 love it!!!

Now this is a CLASSIC performance from mother KCS ! The finally Karen album is still a jam 🥰

Literally the best vocalist to ever exist…I SAID WHAT I SAID!

My absolute favorite gospel singer! The way she’s able to control her breath even to this day is astounding and God given.

Chaaaaaa Karen in a league of her own! The fact that you could give us some analysis is amazing bc somethings you can’t explain. Lol some stuff you just gotta be like “it’s God”. Her voice is one of those things. She’s sick! I could watch this over and over! And you hitting those Karen notes! You better go head now! You did great and sound great!

This was the first song I heard from one of the Clark Sisters, I discovered them late in life and have a been a dedicated fan every since.

Brilliance & genius at FULL display; from vocals to phrasing, arrangement to production, songwriting, band and choir (director). 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

More Karen please!

That legendary run at 6:37💯🙌

Her voice is so dynamic

This whole album used to be my go to back in the day!! This woman always touches me. She is anointed!!

Jaron: "She did it again" Also Jaron: 🗣️🗣️aaaaahhhhhh🎶 😂😂😂 You're iconic too, you're amazing!!

3:50 the dude in white is really into this song it’s wonderful to see a gospel singer and songwriter that can reach all audiences

I just stopped by to say I love your videos! Thanks so much for taking time out to teach and explain the magic that goes on in these vocals to us! Lol

I would love to see Karen and Rachel Farrell do a duet...

I love this. Can you do something by LaShun Pace next? “I know I’ve been changed” would be a good one

Babyyyyyy, when McDonald's used to hold gospel showcases and my mom took me to one and I saw The Mighty Clouds of Joy and I got happy at the age of about 10! Lord, my mom has an old VHS with The Clark Sosters singing You Brought the Sunshine. We wore that VHS out! Karen has always been effortless and continues to be. A much welcomed breakdown, Jaron. ❤❤❤

Sitting here with goosebumps ☺️….this song does it to me everytime!!

"Jesus is the Balm in Gilead !!" The message is amazing I'm sure angels dance to this version; all praise be to the Most High God who was and is and is to come. Alleluia.

I love listening to Dorinda and Karen! Love their voice and techniques.

My favorite gospel artist! Her vocals are like none other and she makes her voice sound like a live auto tune! Most have to use a computer to sound like this and all she have to do is open her mouth and sing! Wow! Her throat is oily! I love your explanation of her vocal techniques!🔥🔥

I'm just blessed to experience her ministry during my lifetime.

Literally I love listening to lady Karen she’s my favorite I love when she live doing her echo 😇

I really appreciate the language and concepts you use to describe how vocalists are using their voice. I’m learning so much by watching your videos!

This is straight style taste making at its finest. She ain’t NO joke.

You've reviewed two of my favorite Gospel songs ever. This and "When Sunday Comes"!! Bless you!

Karen Clark Sheard is a phenomenon.. ❤️Absolutely Amazing!!

I'm an israelite and even though we have our own praise music, I still listen to contemporary gospel music. I love Keren and all of the Clark sisters.

One of my favorite songs ever. This song caught me as child and hasn’t let go 😩🙌🏾💛! I sing at random and on demand in sync w/my friends who KNOW! KCS 🐐 Singing & Writing!! 🔥

ooooo yay i love when u do auntie karen

I WILL NEVER GET OVER THE FACT THAT SHE DID THIS LIVE! I’m not a shouter but there’s no way I could’ve been there & no ran around that building like it was the wall of Jericho! 😭 One of the best performances EVER!

It’s you at 9:28 hitting this note yet again flawlessly 🤦🏾‍♂️🔥🔥🔥

The one and only, First Lady Karen Clark Sheard. Magnificent 👌🏾 ❤️

Oh YES" HER' VOCALS ARE MAGNIFICENT; GREATLY OUTRAGEOUS; MASTERFUL And BEAUTIFUL !!! ❤️❤️❤️

This whole album and vhs was on repeat in my house.

Detorit's finest!!!! My auntie played finally Karen out! Reminds me of my childhood.

Get goosebumps everytime I hear this song and see this video. Her voice is ICONIC and ANGELIC

I think she sang this song better than any song EVER💕🎼💕💗. This is my all time favorite song to hear her sing. Love her vocals and of course your breakdown is absolutely amazing! Mannnnn, you are truly anointed by God to do this! You are A-Ma-Zing👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Her mother was a genius and so is she. I can't even pretend to sing a long with this song. I just close my mouth and enjoy the praise.

She tears it up💯👍

She doing that good ol flat foot full face SINDAY MO’NIN!! sangin!! TGBTG!!! Love 1st lady as well and her daughter too!! 🎶🙌🏾✊🏾👏🏾😁🥰❤️

This is the woman that whenever she and Whiney Houston were in the same room, Whitney knew what time it was.

The HARDEST beat ever!!! I grew up COGP and this was our Riding music!

This album is a classic. 🔥🔥🔥

I have no words🔥🔥

I really enjoy what I learn about singing from your page and I love the music you do awesome

Literally JUST finished watching the Finally Karen taping like 30 mins ago. I remember seeing it as a little girl and I still cannot get enough!

I LOVE THIS CHANNEL❗I'm intrigued how you said her voice was light and clear during this era because a friend an I always say her voice was heavier here than on her next two albums. I felt it had more weight and a certain rasp than before her medical issues. I remember Donald saying her made her rehears her adlibs so the recording could be clean. EVERY LICK WAS PERFECTION! Recording in her home church where so many albums and musicals took place created a sense of comfort and she's eased through this recording. I love this album and I've been listening to "Couldn't Tell It If I Tried" the last couple of days, another masterpiece..

Yeesss I love when she saaang this song, her facial expressions were everything. She was laughing at times like, Y'all I'm cuttin up ! 😂

I love Karen’s voice! This is one of my favorite songs ever! Great video Jaron!

Our church choir sang behind Karen Clark Sheard when this was out. Karen did a concert at our church and we rocked that thing for Jesus.😎👍😇

Earlier this year I had this performance on loop. I just came to click the like button, I’ll be back to watch.

Watching this makes you realize just how many artists are inspired by this queen

Whew!! Every time I hear this song it gives me chills. ❤

Jaron love you analyze my Favorite Gospel singer " The one and only Karen Clark-Sheard ❤ Love everything she do and sing and stay in the same state of Karen and her Sisters . Fell in love with that whole cd and the singer as well. Lol 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Love 💘 How You Just Explain Vocals. Class In Session

I love your breakdown. Such a beautiful song and reminder of God’s healing. One thing I love about the whole video is how everyone in the room is just vibing and they recognise how amazing the singing is! I first found out about Karen with her song Just For Me. Just subscribed. Love from the UK😌

I literally came searching for this song because I want to hear it. And seeing that you have a video on it, Imma just listen to it, and keke with you! Cause she HOLLERRRSSSSS!!!!

Whew I love me some Karen. One of my favorite singers across genres. My hometown Shero 🥰.

Been waiting on this one...what a vocal genius 🙌...thanks for posting this

Had this on VHS...had to be about 10 OR 11.... Classic video for me! And I used to hit every single run. Trained me well!

You're an awesome singer yourself!!!

I’ve watched this video a few times. Glad your reviewing it. Only great singer producer and composer. I love me some mama Karen cuz she has so many ranges.

I liked before I even heard the video . I love Auntie Karen this bring back beauty shop days when I was young.

I love this song and her voice so very much!

This took me back. I remember the first time I heard this song as a child, on their album. I was so blown away.

def mh favorite singer..her voice is unmatched

I don't understand how she has that much oxygen in her body 🤯 Lord hammercy. Her breathe control is out of this world. She is NOT human 😭😭 She ate that 🎤💃🔥🔥🔥

I will never. Never Get Tired of auntie Karen Clark Sheard. Ever.

I'm so glad that there are people who still love this album. 😊💜

You have definitely just gained a subscriber! Let me break this down! #1. You're commentating and reacting to a song I grew up on as a child! I knkw every note reflection! #2. The way you're breaking down the fluctuations in the note selections, the tone and the biology of where the sounds reflections is something I've wished for reaction channels to do! I appreciate it as not only as a song writer but as a musician. 3. You respected how complicated it was for her to sing this song! Much respect and God bless. I'm riding with you! Looking forward to watching more! Seriously! I'm impressed!

I love me some Karen!!! She’s amazing. I listen to this song all the time

Love how everyone is just grooving to this including her 🥰

Love your analysis, I so wish I would have ran into you at the Reunion Tour in Nashville! You are a star wishing you continued success Jaron!!🙏🏽💌

First, I've never seen you bob your head so much. Lol! Secondly, her range is BANANAS!!! I love this song! The choir was great as well!

Thank you so much for doing these videos. You are teaching me so much music theory and technique with these analyses. As a vocalist this is GOLD. 🙏🏾

I was also at Karen recording and had a wonderful time. Especially at her concerts. One of the baddest singers in Gospel. ❤❤❤❤❤

6:40 that is reminiscent of Maurice White of Earth Wind & Fire's adlib in "Love's Holiday". That's what it reminds me of. I think this is my favorite gospel song.

I’m literally obsessed with your page and with your voice I need you to vocal coach me like legit willing to pay an all
