[KendallMarie]

This woman is such a legend. I can't believe Vogue even got close to her

[rubyvakauta]

She is so ECCENTRIC and in love with herself, her surroundings and what she believes in. I love it. She's an amazing talented woman.

[applecinnamon]

She’s just so unapologetically dope, a lot of people don’t understand that you shouldn’t try to fit in when you were born to stand out✊🏾✨

[bencraft]

I feel like i can always tell when someone has been through their shadow and made peace with it. I love her energy.

[jamesapeterson]

I think the thing that comes through so clearly in this interview is her genuineness. A lot of people seem to project a caricature of themselves for the public. With Erykah, you can tell she is just being true to herself.

[atheisticafemenina]

I remember her when I was a little girl. She would come to my aunt's Thrift store in Dallas. I remember there being a spiritual essence about her. I didn't realize she was about to become a huge star. The world truly is small.

[niecithomas]

I could have spent another hour watching this. She is a energy that we will never see again. It makes me so proud to watch her express herself so freely. You’re welcome Vogue!!

[mirellalastar]

Aww, this is way too sacred to be shared on the Internet. Thank you so much, Erykah Badu.

[crystalclear]

She's so deep. She gave us "different" Black girls a reference in the 90s and early 2000s. It wasnt ok to be different. Love her!

[mannyg.forever]

She exudes so much peace and calmness. All my anxiety just melted away as I watched this small clip. Her energy is everything we all need within ourselves.

[yoyo]

Her energy is on another level. SHE'LL ALWAYS BE RELEVANT.

[shae]

She just does not age. She's absolutely one of the most beautiful women when the topic comes up, I think of her and the charisma about her. I've loved her for YEARS. She's just a complete gem. I love her.

[AsiaAmengansie]

Honestly, I felt so calm watching this. Her albums still give me life especially the magic behind her instrumental selections. She embodies creativity.

[falloutgirl]

Erykah is like a real life Willy Wonka people like this are important. So important.

[monicakelly]

This makes me love her even more. Such a unique individual living her authentic life. The world needs more people that do this

[metalyssatv]

I saw her in concert in the 90’s. At the Smoking Grooves Tour. She had that audience. ENTRANCED. I’ve never seen anything like it.

[sophiaisabelle]

Erykah Badu is talented in more ways than one. Her overall aura and personality shines through and through.

[tatianawatkins]

I feel like I'm falling in love with her presence, she's truly the embodiment of walking art a true Muse she's her own realm

[janellvircks]

She is on another level that most of us humans will never achieve. Grace, beauty, insight and pure artistry. Getting a glimpse into her universe is special. Thank you Vogue.

[janelleguzman]

I just know she cleansed her house after this 😂🤩
