Jazmine Sullivan Performs "Forever Don't Last" Live On The Real
Fresh off the release of her brilliant new LP Reality Show, Jazmine Sullivan stopped by the daytime variety/talk show The Real to perform her brilliantly wounded ballad "Forever Don't Last." Backed by only a crystalline acoustic guitar, Sullivan belted out the number with literally awesome power--the jaw drops in the room are almost audible as she launches from bridge to chorus to a vocal solo loaded with raw, searing emotion. A tale of finally admitting that a once-eternal love affair has met its end, "Forever Don't Last" is a case of perfect singer, perfect song. Sullivan's performance flies by in seemingly no time at all--it's impossible not to hit the replay button. Just try.
Sullivan just recently bowled us over at the advance listening session for Reality Show just last month--but then again we were sure we'd be fans from the very first time we heard the original studio recording of "Forever Don't Last." For ardent fans of R&B who like traditional talent just as much as left-field creativity, Ms. Sullivan seems to have it all. Watch her live performance below and purchase Reality Show on iTunes if you haven't already indulged.
