One of the most sensible opinions I have read in these pages.

i think the Rihanna comments are mostly because of her look, because Andra Day is singing quite a few levels above what Rihanna is capable of (and that's not a diss to Rihanna).

I'm just used to true singers (they sang), those whose vocals are not hidden beneath instrumentation and machine engineering. Thus, I truly appreciate Tiny Desk Concerts for this reason. Many artists do not perform live or a capella because they do not have these skills.

I live for that lime green clip in the front of her bangs!! 😍😍

Her music is so full of heart and emotion, as an adoring listener, I find it impossible to see her giggle so cheerfully at the end of each song while I’m simply trying to catch my breath and mop the floor of my own emotion. Andra Day, you are such a great, great gift.

Rise Up allowed me to deal with my pain and joy to be my Mother's caregiver. It sums up the experience for both of us. Aura Day's talent is a gift from God herself... Smiles!!

This is one of my favorite singers to date from Tiny Desk. Very few people sound that good in person versus their studio singles/albums. She's an incredible performer and she's from my city. The band behind her is really solid too.

Why comment? Bob wrote it already in his introduction " This is an unforgettable performance, and she's got a talented backing band to boot." That's so true.... I also like the small piano :-)

She is - I don't have a word for it. I finally watched "The United States Vs. Billie Holiday" last night and her performance was SO powerful, she is just stellar.

Her Voice Is An Instrument, Wow

A well disciplined singer. No scandals or bad headlines like other popular singers. I admire Andra Day and I really like her style. Wishing her lots of success. ✌🎹🎻🎼🎥

How does one have a voice sooo damn indescribable because it is so amazing

The band is really great, supporting such an amazing talent. Gold was beautiful

Tears listening to this woman... Goddess.

Yes. She absolutely reminds me of Eartha Kitt!!!

Gives me chills to hear her sing Rise Up

I always knew she could really sing, but I just realized how beautiful she is inside and out

She is truly blessed with an extraordinary gift!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE finding new music.

The song “Gold” - Whaaattt??? Such a VIBE

A mix of Rihanna, Amy anyhousse and Billie Holiday. How talented and what a firm voice! Thank you Andra for your music 🤩❤️

her song rise up is my anthem song - absolutely one of my favorite artists.

her voice is literally salve for the soul. how on earth can someone so beautiful exist??

She's so talented and beautiful!! That voice!!🌋🌋🌋💖 And that Lipstick!!!!

I just can't get enough of Andra Day, what a talent and love her musicians too.

She has a stunning looking face, and in the 2nd song shows what a stunning voice she has

Just love knowing I can click *ANY* NPR Tiny Desk concert video x it's gonna be something new fresh and worth the 10-20 mins watch

Wow what a DIVA full of sensibility !!! The pianist's smile at 7:19 means a lot ! Her emotion at 7:42 too !

I rarely watch a video more than once or twice. I come back to this a LOT.Maybe 20 times and counting.Killer performance. So much feeling.

She did a awesome job and the group is on point loved this performance thoroughly.

Thank you NPR for the artists you present And thank you Andra for the talent and desire to deliver "soul" music

Wow Lord you outdid Yourself with this one! That voice is a presence!!! ❤️🙏🏽🔥. 2019!

Love her laugh! And that keyboard players energy is infectious ❤👍👏👏👏

I cannot for the life of me understand why she hasn't won more awards! Her voice is undeniably exquisite and underrated, I'm glad she's been certified Platinum and Silver though. I cannot wait to hear more of her and see where her career goes.

Oh I adore her! This is authentic music! Utterly moving.... Orgasmic.

Andra Day , quiero agradecerle a todos ustedes por los temas, me gustaron mucho y los escucho habitualmente, tu timbre de voz, la música y el complemento que se forma...es perfección. Gracias por compartir (desde Concepción Chile)

Power like Adele, Aretha, and Amy (Winehouse) - all straight AAA"s! Awesome! And ohhh that band!

That voice my God ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 She is so humble.

Rise up was amazing!
