A day before Juneteenth was commemorated as a federal holiday for the first time in its 156-year history, ABC celebrated the occasion with a stirring tribute TV special – “Juneteenth: Together We Triumph – A ‘Soul of a Nation” (June 18).

The two-hour televised event – which featured appearances from the likes of former President Barack Obama, Michael Strahan, Leslie Odom, Jr., and many more – also was rocked by roof-raising performances from the likes of Chloe (of Chloe x Halle fame) and H.E.R.

The latter – hot on the promo trail in support of her long-awaited debut album ‘Back of My Mind’ – delivered a particularly riveting performance of her Academy Award-winning song ‘Fight For You’ (which was originally featured on the ‘Judas & the Black Messiah’ soundtrack).

Look inside to see how she fared.

While some argue Chloe Bailey came out swinging for the inaugural performance of her first official solo release, a remake of Nina Simone classic ‘Feeling Good’ (found on the  ‘Liberated / Music For The Movement Vol. 3’ EP which can be streamed here), others slammed the young songstress for a showing chock-full of choreography many deemed provocative and ill-fitted for the occasion.

Easily lending the most talked about moment from ABC’s ‘Juneteenth: Together We Triumph’ (#SoulofANation) TV special Friday night (June 18), Bailey’s hip-winding, dipping, and popping even garnered mixed reviews from within the Simone estate.

Moments after the late icon’s official Twitter handle delivered a tweet-and-delete suggesting disapproval of the performance, Nina’s granddaughter hopped online to defend Chloe.
