Far away from her Houston home Yolanda Adams was tearing up the stage in the UK for a special Michael Jackson tribute.
According to the UK’s Telegraph, Yolanda stole the show!
Yolanda Adams’s soaring gospel-tinged Earth Song banished the uncomfortable memory of Jackson’s 1996 Brits performance and Jarvis Cocker’s bottom-baring stage invasion. The image of a young Jackson on the screen behind the Texan singer – one of few shown due to image copyright issues – seemed desperately poignant against the “what about us” refrain. It was the only performance of the night which bettered the original: gone, but by no means forgotten, Michael would have been proud.
That’s an awesome review for Yolanda Adams who was sharing the stage with a who’s who list of secular performers like Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera, Gladys Knight, Smokey Robinson and Beyonce.
Jackson’s children Prince, Blanket and Paris took to the stage to thank a warm capacity filled crowd. Check out the video of Yolanda’s performance below.
