I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!! :)

[ronaynay10]

her voice is so soothing great tone i luv this song

[SuperErica333]

Luv dis song jus amazin

[gleeislife001]

This song makes me think of girls who don't deserve a hero, that have one, and girls that deserve heroes, that don't. Prince Charmings are rare, and it sucks when they are wasted.

[1995Browntown]

like if you think that the original has NO COMPARISON to this version.

[TearMyWorldDown24]

I love this song but i hate how on itunes u have to buy the whole album to be able to get the song. i dont like that!

[mrcrazymoviefreak]

Where did u finds the chords at

[HeatherMcloughlin]

@mrcrazymoviefreak type in "holding out for a hero ella mae bowen chords" on google and click the first search result. It should be a wesite called ultimate guitar :)

[HeatherMcloughlin]

As soon as the movie finished I grabbed my acoustic guitar and found the chords for this, playing along is even better than listening!

[TeamSeymour]

Haha my parents are going to disown me if I admit to loving this version(:

[maxxieZEro]

when here this i think of the legend of zelda bcuz how link gose and save zelda

[LiFeGoEsOn304]

92 people never got their hero

[moviesmusicltd]

i fell in love the minute i heard this song on footloose and ever since i've been happy

[TheFantasyWorl93]

This song just reminds me about Elena and Damond from The Vampire Diaries <3

[alyocare]

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW CAN PEOPLE LIKE THIS CUZ SHE IS THE WORST SINGER I EVER HEARD.

[MissBanananize]

Just my opinion but i think this is better than the original :))

[101guitarbaby]

What and amazing Voice and it makes this so So emotional sooooo Beautiful <3

[kenngerian]

i love this voice prefer this version to bonnie tyler`s

[dlm411]

@bigbaby1124,

You obviously had your ears shut when you heard then didn't you. You wouldn't know good music if it smacked you in the face. This is a beautiful version of the song and the 'Overdone country twang' puts something extra. Ella Mae Bowen is a hell of a better singer than you will ever be so keep your sarcastic comments to you and your husband! Yeah Bonnie Tyler sang the original but many songs that have been covered do better with their cover artist. So STFU!!!

[RaeannBirgitcd62]

hihi keiner deutsch hihi

[14MissAbbie]

This is beautiful.

[16sassysammie]

i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee this song

[nahte007]

Horrible cover. Bonnie Tyler's version is way better. She just doesn't have the raw power in voice.

[goodytwoshoes1111]

@bigbaby1124

Fuck u and everything u care about......she did a way better job......u just don't know good singing when u hear it......and honestly she's a waaaaaaay better singer.........I know good singing as my father is a singer (and has made many cds) and I'm a singer and have sung for about a decade........so get your facts straight before you go and spread lies!.......go die in a hole bitch

[babygirl070498]

like this if this is your new "the guy i have to date needs have everything here" list :)

[mjlravers]

like if u originally heard this song from shrek?

[BredenMusic]

okey for a straight guy to like this movie and song? xd

[bigbaby1124]

I can't believe she was allowed to butcher Bonnie Tyler's original version. She sounds like she has some kind of disease! What's up with the squeaking and overdone country twang? It's horrible and it made me cringe when I saw the movie. I only came to youtube to find it to show my hubby how awful it was! My ears are bleeding now and so are his!

[manbirbrar]

84 cowards S#$% their pants when they hear of heroes,,,lol,,, gotta love this tune...:D

[14honeydancer]

I love this song and I have to see the movie!

[dancerlovesDWTS]

I love this song and this movie<3 isnt this at the part right after the accident? HE'S GOTTA BE LARGER THAN LIFE<3

[jbs01fan]

[brunomarsfanno1]

Love the song and the movie. <3

[TheBigtimerush43]

[Stopmotionlove1]

GORGEOUS OMG

[BlondieEyes7726]

i forgot which part of the movie this is from!! But holy shitaki mushrooms, THIS IS SO PRETTY! its like a lullaby!

[ohmyitstrinaaa]

@BlondieEyes7726 i think its in the first half of the movie where the guy is still on his first or second day in wherever it is :))

[maydaymayday1]

ur video is losing life...........oh wait! it's the dislike bar!

i'm not surprised, TOTALLY killed it

[SerenTwilight]

Favourite song everrr

[ozguru1968]

you people have taste if you fucking arses  she has fucking murderd it

[tazzchowhury]

@ozguru1968 lol, that did not make sense... i think you should go back to school.

[mcmanuscs]

You have ripped the heart and passion out of this song. Great voice, but really?

[Charley18z]

they butchered this version

[Victoria12397]

I like the older version better

[mebeBrianna]

<3 i like this version better i thought the original version kind of made the lyrics less.....

[lilikoi13]

I recognised the original song thanks to the lyrics.. O_o'' And i really prefer the original version, but at least, it's really different

[imagleek85]

this version make me cry

[MyHeroBabe]

I -3 this song.(:

I'm waiting for my hero to come & sweep me off my feet. I think I know who he is too.-3

[joniese79]

I luv this song inwishni could sing like her

[cookietheb5]

Pretty but the original is better. It has a frantic pace faster than this one.

[skatergirl2232]

my hero sweeps me off my feet<3

[VioilinWonder17]

This song is amazing and I get goosebumps every time I hear it

[dancerwalrus98]

i have to listen to this atleast 1000 times a day or i die! :)

[dazzlertyler]

Is a good cover...is the only way this song can be sing from someone who don't call BONNIE TYLER. No other can sing better than her the "rock" or the powerfull version of this song...so...this is good for me. ;))

[3sarahsager]

wow this song is wonderful her voice is beautiful

[Lily858555]

<3 this song will never get old to me

[person123133]

I've actually never seen Footloose, but I'm auditioning for footloose at a local theatre, and this song makes me tear up

[scottysmyhotty97]

I have to say that i think the one from the 80s is better, but thats just my personal opinion.

[dlm411]

An amazing version of the song, love Bonnie Tyler but this is on another scale.

I love it. <3

[danceril96]

Such a beautiful and amazing song, the repeat button should be broken because of how many times ive been pressing it. <3

[midnightnobody]

circle?



[ALEXISZAD]

Beautiful... just beautiful. I'm speechless....there's really nothing left to say except for how beautiful this song is.

[kbthing2]

my ear have found heaven :)

[kaoimiik]

amazing <3

does anyone know if theres a karaoke version of this anywhere??

[dannezot]

@iluvJB3069 she actually does yodel a little but it's working for her voice

awesome voice

[AsaNoKaze]

Bonnie might love this version...

[Jhurleyboy]

The reason why I don't really like this version is because Ella Mae Bowen doesn't really sing the original melody at all... I don't mind covers changing the style, or adding little changes to the melody here and there, but this cover has hardly any similarities to the original melody. Aside from that, I think Ella Mae Bowen has a decent voice.

[happygoluckygirl10]

@Jhurleyboy I think it kind of goes with the tone and feel of the movie though...

[xONEDIRECTION13]

@iluvJB3069 people are saying she yodels so ..

[MASQUEdas]

so in love with this...<3

[xONEDIRECTION13]

her voice cracks at the beginning because she yodels ..

[ajgpink]

I LOVE this song so much! Inspiring

[heaven1D]

how can you not fall in love with this song?? <3

[PeVaLAdies]

any instrumentals on this? thanks : )

[hoboesbasketball42]

ima learn this on th gutair<3

[LofCrocks]

This version is good, don't get me wrong, but after playing Saints Row: The Third, NOTHING will ever top the original track. Not even this. Look it up if you don't believe me.

[murbef17]

This gives me chills every time!

And guys, I was kind of distracted by the cracks at first, too. But I learned she is a yodeler and that's why she does it so often. I think her uniqueness makes the song what it is if you learn to love the cracks. It's what gives the song personality. But hey, that's just my opinion. Everyone thinks differently!

[CocoKiindt]

Amazing!

[LiveFree1212]

<3 amazing. her voice is so different

[DlSappeared]

the girl's voice is keep cracking.... this is fail

[rehbergs99]

Love it -3 and haterz get the hell outa here and change the song!!! Just saying :)

[SmileyAholic]

I am in Love with this song <3 and to all you Haterzz If you hate it so much why waste your time commenting on it, just change it. Its much More faster :-P

[timelady321]

didn't alot of people sing this in the original, just guessing since i haven't actually seen it

[MoonshineNina]

I'm addicted to this song....<3

[123tomthetree]

I FREAKIN LOVE THIS SONG!(:

And to some comments below...if u dont like the remake or the movie...then why are u watching the video? I mean, really? C'mon now!!!

[MrVinceDiggity]

This is a pretty great cover. :)

[msdownworlder]

The scene this song played to in the movie made me cry. I mean, you should hold out for that one special person..

[Junanagou]

What a pitiful remake. -_-'

[xrxaxnxnoble]

@Junanagou IF U DON'T LIKE THE NEW FOOTLOOSE THAN DON'T WATCH THE MOVIE OR THE FOOTLOOSE VIDS GO TROLL SOME WERE ELS!!

[Galarius23]

Bonnie Tyler did this song better this version sucks



[ChaMaLaDingDong]

Hum, I prefer the original...

[ilovetobehappy289]

this is the best song ever...

[yamisupersaiyan]

Why the fuck is this above Man or Muppet and Lifes a Happy Song? Thats a crime, everyone stop listening to this crap and go watch those

[edwardcullenxoxo101]

i love this song<33 i listen to it all the time it's so much better than the original. she sounds like a better taylor swift:)

[thatblondesurfchick]

Sweet song I need a hero ...sometimes I wish my boyfriend could act a little more like a hero and less like a child

[AngelOfTheDeep143]

I don't give a flip about wat haters say. I love this song and fall asleep to it every nite. I want a hero.

[madylovesthebeach]

This song is so beautiful in a way that it makes me happy even when it reminds me of my ex that i loved. i dont know how but it just does....

[Kacie97Hughes]

i finally found my hero:) i guess all that waiting was worth it:)

[ArkScout]

WTF? This version is so shitty compared to the original one.. :S

[katherinethegrr8]

@ArkScout how can you say that? its so beautiful

[DeShaiCouture]

this is a beautiful song !

[Balletanna15]

I just keep this on repeat

[Balletanna15]

I love this version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[samanthab61]

I need to find my hero..

[Lynxspring16]

@samanthab61 I too!

[BeccaButterflyBeauty]

*click the snowflake and it snows in the video

Anywho- this is on repeat because my recently turned ex boyfriend seemed like a hero, but in the end he couldn't be enough of a hero to break up with me in person. he was a coward to break up with me over fb, so now i'm waiting for a real hero

[dyldylsmom]

I love this song! I am still waiting on my hero. I often listen to this song on repeat.

[JulesFitz14]

Anyone else notice that the circle is a snowflake? And i love this song so much. It gives me hope

[midnightnobody]

@JulesFitz14 circle?

[sammyskit]

I love this re-make!! The original one is waaaaaay different. :o

[MsPaigeD1]

I love how shes remixed this song!! I like this version better(:

[Dancingismylife2211]

This song is absolutly amazing! It's so beautiful! It brings tears to my eyes just hearing it!

[koolshoes13]

I've found my Hero :)

[M5fan13]

love this song!!!

[jamespic]

A LOVE SONG FOR JOHNNY 5!!!!!

[NowLiveLove]

Gosh... Where is my hero? 

[anneandgilforever136]

@blueblark96 According to Amazon, it's listed on the soundtrack as "Holding Out For A Hero"

[JUSTINxxBIEBERxxCRU1]

This song makes me what to date a cute, strong, fast, rebel. Someone who doesnt do anything.. BAD... just..make memories:) Like in footloose</3

[Funnybunnygirls2]

I'm singing this song in the talent show.

[katherinethegrr8]

so beautiful... just... like makes me want to cry <3

[summerstageismylife]

i just listened to this 13 times in a row.. i am not joking. So beautiful

[101Rockinprincess]

everyone either absolutely LOVES this song or absolutely HATES it. To all haters: if you hate this beautiful version so much, SHUT YOUR MOUTH, DON'T COMMENT, STOP THE VIDEO, AND TURN THE F****** PAGE!!!!! *excuse my language

[Angelus158]

@101Rockinprincess I like it but not as much as the original song. I'm not saying i don't like this version it's just that the other one has more energy, so it'd go together with dancing since it has a lot of energy. This version seems like a song during a slow dance, i'm saying that in a good way.

[Klingonmastr]

This isn't the original sung by Bonnie Tyler. I like the original much better. This sounds like more of a contemporary version of the song. The person that does sing this song is probably more talented that most of the current singers out there. Some people don't care for county music. Some people miss the 80's too.

[DlSappeared]

@101Rockinprincess you are like saying "ill fuk ur mom till she calls my name".

then *excuse my language. but yea this is not holding out for a hero, and she cracks from 0~0:30
