Indeed she did! I love the fact that she helped keep her sista friend's 👑 upright. She also was singing her songs with her when she didn't remember her lyrics.
I already loved Stephanie Mills, but this show made me love her even more. What a class act she was, being in a bad situation but never selling out her sister, Chaka. She carried the whole show on her back as well as carried Chaka by reminding us who she was and what she has done, as well as helping her sing her own songs. In other words, she could have sold Chaka out but she id not! She adjusted Chaka's crown gracefully and I hope that she is awarded by us accordingly! Go buy Stephanie's back albums, Cd's, stream her music and let our sister get PAID for the double work she did on Verzuz!
💯 That Broadway background. Gotta know how to pick it up seamlessly when your mates fall short. Mrs. Stephanie was the Jada Kiss 💋 of the night. Top 5 dead or alive! 😊
“When I think of home, I think of a place where there’s, LOOOOOOOVE over flowwwwwinggggg!” Yes Gawd 👏🏾👏🏾😩💜 I was like this is how Queens rise. And Aunty Stephanies thang was thannngin in the byke😆😲🤭😍
Stephanie deserves her check, Chaka's check and a bonus. She worked overtime! Why was IG acting up? They didn't serve these ladies well. I was over DJ Scratch and all of the other djs. That first set of djs weren't necessary. Poor Chaka looked great, but was drunk. She did seem to get better on some of the later songs, but somebody should have handled her better throughout the day. I still love her though. Sometimes we have off days. IG was a huge disappointment and I quickly had to go to RU-vid for the rescue. Stephanie really showed us all what "the show must go on" really means. Salute to Ms. Stephanie Mills!
Do you really think a singer who has been performing live for over 50 years would show up to her own show drunk? It is more likely that she has dementia or some sort of cognitive issue.
Off days?????? There should be no off days for seasoned performers!!!!! Chaka was very sloppy. I love Chaka, I was a super fan since her Rufus days. Just because she’s a legend that’s even more of a reason to be on ur A game. Age has nothing to do with her performance either. She may need rehab again!!!!!
😂 Girl your assessment is spot on. Chaka was high as a kite. Stephanie saved the whole entire show, I pray her sales go up. Chaka made me nervous the whole time, I was done when she was singing her song and then gave the mic to Stephanie lmao. At the end Chaka was Ret to Go, said Bye for last 30 minutes forgetting she still had songs to sing. Girl this was a Trainwreck couldn't turn from. They need to get Chaka help, while I laughed it was sad to see one of our legends like that.
Stephanie Mills is the Great and Powerful Oz! She is da All Time G.O.A.T. when it comes to saves, MVP of da CENTURY, a true Clutch player like 7 rings Bobby Horry Game 6 wit da ship on da line!
Chaka has an addiction, bottom line, she has been through the steps and is back out there. Chaka needs prayer, she has a gift and I PRAY that she can kick this addiction. Stephanie is the MVP and an Angel.
Two things: Ashley, you hit the nail on the head about crappy internet being unacceptable at this point. Second, Swizz n dem gots to do better about the audience they bring to the show. These crowds with these 22 yo yt Instagram people needs to stop. Showing up for cameras and no knowledge of the culture. It messes with the vibe.
Swizz and Timbaland sold Verzuz so I don’t think they have control of that aspect anymore. I would have liked to see them in a more intimate setting closer like Patti and Gladys..
This comment…. I don’t want to see all these kids, I’m 37, I want to see our age because we remember what life was like before social media. I can enjoy a good show without the phone
Man, I wasn’t sure if I was going to watch but man it made my night!! These Queens are legends!! I may not know a lot of Stephanie Mills music, but I’ve always respected her and she was the real MVP of Verzuz tonight! She carried the whole show with vocals and everything!! She helped Chaka when she couldn’t remember her words. I love Chaka Khan but damn did she disappoint me!! Chilee it was embarrassing , she was definitely on something and just not aware of what was happening. Chaka has been off for a while now but I thought things would be good tonight but it was crazy to see. It very chaotic from the live pausing and glitching to them being over an hour late to start, the random people on stage, I’m surprised I enjoyed it. Stephanie adjusted Chaka’s crown and I was here for the sisterhood. This will definitely be a Verzuz to talk about later
Stephanie is a consummate stage professional! She deserves a Las Vegas residency, and I will be one of the first to purchase a ticket to her performance. God bless the legends.
It was good despite Chaka having a moment lol. Stephanie was a class act and was her sister's keeper. Beautiful to see. We love Chaka Khan and Stephanie Mills. Great Show!❤
Ms Miller, I do not know you, but I am a devout Chakaholic, and will defend her to the end, but I must say as far as your summary of this Verzuz, I hate to say I SEE NO LIES told here. This was the best review, and you did remain respectful. Now sis, carry on. Peace & love. ❤thanks 4the talk😉
More than anything this showed that Stephanie is a very graceful woman. Too many of them would have easily let her stumble down and babble so they could get a moment out of it. Chaka has been battling addiction so long it is what it is. She looks good. I get sad thinking about these great big voices we will never hear the soul coming out of again.
Exactly. If you're a fan, you know what is with Chaka. We've seen her in performances before. We still love her. And Stephanie Mills is still the mega talented, classy woman that she's always been.
Stephanie is a MVP, I first saw her in person when she played Dorothy on Broadway ...The Wiz in 1978 in Chicago! Stephanie held it down ...Chaka...God TODAY!
And those djs were not given what needed to be gave, I’m like can we play some music from their era let’s get hype then we had a spoken word I’m like baby what is going on and baby Stephanie Mills sang home that song is soooo soooo beautiful
Instagram definitely failed those queens last night. I had to watch on RU-vid and there were no issues. They had close to 95k and dropped down to 12k. 🤔 Ms Stephanie had all the energy and she commanded the spotlight. Her vocals are exceptional.
Shout out to Verzuz for giving our legends their roses while they are alive. The show helps those artists' music get some traction again and puts some change in their pockets so if you appreciate black music support by downloading their music. Stephanie Mills is slept on and she is so deserving of so much more. I'll comment on both artists. Stephanie Mills has always been one of my faves because growing up she was one of the singers that my mother played often. Stephanie mills is lesson in being a professional and she is a class act in how she assisted her rival when she didn't have to. Although this wasn't supposed to be a competition we know what Verzuz is supposed to be. Stephanie Mills could have let Chaka fail and embarrass herself more than she did but she helped her along as much as she could. I will always love and support Stephanie Mills because she is one of the few artist that represents her blackness to the fullest without apology. Chaka Khan was not prepared but I am not going to bash her because she's left us with a treasure of music to enjoy for years to come. She is dealing with something that concerns me. At her age she needs an intervention before it takes her out. Chaka's catalogue is extensive and that is something to be respected. I don't know what it is she's intoxicated on whether it's liquor or drugs but something is troubling her for her to rely on it especially before a show such as Verzuz. I'd ask everyone to show love to both artists. Times are tough for everyone right now. Even celebrities like Chaka can be dealing with personal issues that we will never know about.
I felt the same way about the dj’s! After I saw Chaka I realized they were probably stalling to get her sober enough to perform. I wish they would’ve postponed it. So sad her mgmt let her go out like that. Praying for her 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Chaka was totally off Stephanie really help her adjust her CROWN. I pray Chaka will get herself together for what ever is going on. Chaka still have her voice still a legend can't nobody do what you do Ms. CHAKA Khan.
When you know the skeletons of your girl, you hold them up in public. They been in this game a long time for her to know her girl was not ready to give what she needed.
Chaka has experienced health issues for a few years. There are photos of her in a wheelchair at some point. I’m amazed she was able to do what she did based on what she has gone through. Yes; Stephanie carried the show with grace and respect. They both are Queens.✨
I think that is one of the many songs that she doesn't like doing. She said before that certain songs brings her to a very dark place. They surprise her with "FEEL FOR YOU " and "AIN'T NO BODY" I knew when they sprung those on her she wasn't going to do that song. I was hoping she would do it for us but I knew that she wasn't going to do it.
Stephanie Mills definitely held the Verzuz down. I love both these ladies true beautiful queens one with her crown a little tilted, but I still loved it.
Ok, OMG you are funny as fuck😂. I listened to this review while driving home from work in this thick ass traffic😩. I swear you really need to be on somebodies reality tv show😜. The way you say things is hilarious, and your laugh is infectious🤗. I live for your reviews. I wish you reviewed Married at first Sight. Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
@@AshleyMillerTV momma Chaka needed to sleep “it” all off. She’s still one of our greats though ! They should’ve cancelled it before letting her come out there like that.
I was so proud of Stephanie Mills for being her Sisters Keeper. The OG Legends look out for each other. They both looked great, but Chaka was Lit. Stephanie had to just about hold Chaka up, and she also helped her sing some of her songs. And who in the world let Chaka walk in there with those Heels on. She walked on there shakey from the start. Stephanie was holding her hand, trying to keep her steady. If somebody don’t talk Chaka into getting some help she may end up like the late Great Whitney Houston.
I was really disappointed in Chaka. She was came out there higher than the Empire State building. I hope sis get some help for her serious addiction issue. Stephanie tried to hold her down but she could only do so much. Chaka owes Stephanie an apology for that foolishness we witnessed last night. Lastly, I was not happy how late this whole thing started. I was not here for that DJ battle either.
When Chaka Khan passed the mic to her daughter to sing and she “sung” the whole song sounding nothing like her mother!!! Also, Did y’all see Chaka Khan daughter dropping it like it’s hot while they were singing I’m every woman??!!..Chillee the daughter had her club outfit on tryna be a star!!!
I wish they would have had a live band for the ladies performance as they are both icons. Ms. Mills came prepared to work it, Chaka did not. Such a shame as there was so much potential to be great on both ends.
Well technically Patti didn't know the words to all her songs either. I remember her telling production to put their lyrics up because she was forgetting her lyrics and Gladys agreed with Patti.
I can not get over Chaka Khan...lololo....I thought that when she recently messed up the Star-Spangled banner was bad...but she proved me wrong last night....I couldn't deal with her antics....lol
Honey Ms Mills was doing the damn thang, but Chaka bless her heart I love her dearly but she was faded 😂🤣 Instagram was a mess I had to switch to RU-vid 🤯🤦🏾♀️
The youtube connection was good. I have admired both of the ladies for years but I felt that second hand embarrassment as well for Chaka. Stephanie sung her songs and Chaka, she is a class act.
ASHLEY I came straight to this video this morning when I woke up I knew you were going to give me a video that was going to set up my mood for the rest of the day I am hollering NO MAM AUNTEE CHAKA DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT
I guess I don't blame Swizz and Tim for getting the bag, and selling off to Triller. But, I miss the authenticity of artist in their home studios playing their tunes back and forth.
Auntie Chaka has deep demons with suga, drinking and pills. So I hope that clears up things. She comes from a family of addiction. I was upset with the interpretations but I did enjoyed what they gave.
@@evolutionofabutterfly6925 EXACTLY 💯 Most people don't know that. They don't know that is one of the reasons why she stop singing for a while in the late 80's and early 90's. This is reason why she doesn't like singing certain songs. Like the song Feel For You and Ain't no Body. So I can't be mad because I know she is not going to sing certain songs and we may or may not get a show
Stephanie was awesome “real sister Love”❤️Gladys did the show. I love Patti but all she did was looked in her mirror. Chaka knew more of her songs under the influence than Patti . Patti acted like this was the first time she heard most of her songs Gladys song both😀😱. I do agree we don’t need a concert or challenge of the DJ. Thanks Ashley love the review I loved the show.
Addiction is no respecter of persons nor age. Sad for Chaka. Prayers for her recovery 🙏. 🙏 Stephanie knew her sister was hurting and she held her up in every way, not just vocally. What she did speaks to her humanity and I respect her even more than ever.
Nooooooo lol. Im 48. That was friggin hilarious. This isnt new for her. Some artists can still sing when high. Chaka can not and should not. Her catalog is fire...just stop with the live performances.
I couldn't stop watching this video. This was so accurate. They were late starting and wasn't on track. And part of it Chaka had no business with them shoes on glad she took them off. I was scared she was gone fall in them shoes. Her outfit was cute but she couldn't walk in them shoes. Stephanie Mills held her down put that show and Chaka on her back and put a show on. I like the show and like Stephanie sung her songs. I hope they get Chaka help. Stephanie deserves all her props and like rest of the comments go buy her music. Stephanie had a party going on up there. I hope everything works out OK for Chaka.
Bless Stephanie Mills! She sounded so amazing and held it all down. I am a Chaka fan from way back, but she dropped the ball this time around. I hope she is okay healthwise.
The whole time I was watching I was like, 🤦🏽♀️They gon light her UP in the morning 😂 I appreciate your mercy Ash. we all know Ant Chak got that habit on her 😞. We all should be glad she even made it to the stage.
Chaka has always been like when she’s good she’s great but when she’s bad she’s bad. I have seen her in concert lots of times back in the day. She would be so high she couldn’t hit her notes and she would be wobbling on the stool.
Agree! I have seen her a few times, and I have gotten the same experience. I actually just saw her 2 weeks ago and that was a great night. As for Stephanie! Truly amazing...
My mom saw her in St Louis back in the 80's and she was high as a kite. She was combative and didnt know her lyrics. She cursed the audience when they took over singing her songs, then she walked clean off the stage. My mom was heartbroken. Chaka was her girl. Smh
Ashley, I watch you all the time but I don’t leave a comment. I enjoyed your review!!!! I appreciate you being respectful!!!! Keep doing what you do because you are very entertaining and you made my day with this review!
I was so embarrassed by Chaka khan, damn it Chaka. Stephanie Mills brought it. Loved her energy and how she held Chaka down. Stephanie Mills for the win
Stephanie Mills, 4 feet tall with heals and did what many black women do everyday, she handled her business. She didn't have time for the foolishness, she was the epitome of "The Show MUST Go On".
The whole DJ battle was annoying. They should have had DJ Cassidy or DJ D-Nice and gotten someone like Mo'Nique to host. Chaka was giving drunk auntie at the barbecue at last night's Verzuz. Her daughter seemed like she was drunk when she came out to sing "Sweet Thing". I'm surprise Chaka didn't have her big fan that she keeps her lyrics on in case she forgets.
I love Chaka but I knew Stephanie was go get this one. And believe she done fell back off the wagon. We all know she got a bugger sugar problem also. She just did rehab either the beginning of this year or last year. That really sucks if she has started back on whatever the addiction is.
Let me say this, I'm genuinely a fan of BOTH of these legendary QUEENS!! I will NOT😎 Chaka Khan... I WILL NOT! Stephanie Mills is TRUE class act, she's putting on a SHOW, & uplifting Chaka during this performance!! Black women supporting each other🙏 Stephanie Mills deserves ALL OF HER FLOWERS! God bless these Queens🙏 Also, NOBODY ASKED FOR THAT DRY A** DJ BATTLE😂😂
Stephanie held it down... but Chaka bless her heart she did what she could. I love them both! They kept me up and Jammin. So with that being said... I have followed them both since the early '80s they are Legends and always will be. The Divas did their thang! There are no comparisons hands down!
