They dont sound as good as the record. They are out of breath just from moving a bit. Only a couple of the singers sound as good as the record. The two heavy hitters still sound good in this perfromance. Thats why they have the best parts.

Optimistic by Sounds of Blackness is a staple in Black homes and untouchable but I do love what August Greene and Brandy did with this. #BlackHistoryMonth
