@vijanatrix IDK who your comment was intended for and I don't know who you are referring to "probably not knowing anything about football" but her dad used to play in the NFL so I'm 99.99999999% sure she knows a lot about football. Maybe I came in the middle of a conversation, probably bad timing. I'm not meaning to start a fight, just sayin, is all :) G'day sir
@moskitomafafa Never heard of what team?? I never mentioned any teams?? I was talking about her dad playing in the NFL... Phillippi Sparks, played for the Giants.
is it true that jordin sparks will be having a concert,then the talent of oprah and david foster,a 17 year old singer,CHARICE who has the single NOTE TO GOD will be guesting?oh its nice..that girl has really an amazing voice..you'll be blown by her brilliant voice..try also to watch her videos in youtube..i've heard also that charice will be guesting in michael jacksons concert in london but unfortunately it will not happen because of what happened to MJ...
First off, she completely murdered the song - shes a great singer but she completely ruined YNWA.
Secondly, the reason why Liverpool fans hold such strong attachment to this song is because it is sang in remembrance of the 96 innocent lives that were lost so unnecessarily at a football match.
It was sang before us and will be sang after us, but unlike in Carousel, and to the tens of artists that have covered this, this song has emotional meaning to us.
@Smartass8504 YOU ARE A FAT ASS PIECE OF SHIT FAGOT. ALL YOU DO IS COMMENT ON BETTY WHITE FOOD ( BECAUSE YOU ARE FAT) AND AMERICAN IDOL CRAP. YOU ARE A FUCKING FAG. WHAT A WASTE. AND YOU LOOK LIKE A CHILD MOLESTER IN YOUR SCHOOL PICS.. fUCKING LOSER.
@col06 Ok, sorry- yes Gerry & Pacemakers did probably the best known version (my era) although I'm not sure how popular their version was in America??
Jordan sang this song with so much emotion. She was awesome. Check out Patti Labelle's version and you will see what singing this song is all about. Thanks for the post.
I Love This Song..Its A Great Song..And She Does A Great Job Singing It
But What I Love Most Is What Is Means To Me And Every Other Liverpool Fan..Every Time I Hear It I Think Of The 96! And All Them Games That Had Us Nearly Crying Aswell..And I Get Shivers Down My Spine!
I Know This Isnt The What The Song Is About..Or What It Was Written For..And I Know We Dont Own IT..But Thats What It Means To Us..And We Love It!!!
YT has evolved into a place to argue it seems, Liverpool or not, this is one of the greatest songs ever, and has been sung over and over by many people.
This is a great song and it will remain that way for until all of us go to bed in our graves.
This performance was outstanding! Her voice is flawless. People can have their own opinions as to whether they like a voice or not, the same way we all have different favorite foods...but no one can tell me that she doesn't "have the pipes"...because when God makes singers...this is how he does it. She has a gift. I admire her choice of song here, because she was proud to let the world know that her faith is her strength. So many people hide their faith.
typical scousers thinking they own everything this song is a classic wrote and sung by one of the greats (yes liverpool born) but he wrote and sang it as a recording but not for the football club who adopted it .
she is 17 and a brilliant singer who dosent deserve putting down by some idiot who talks rubbish ..leave her alone she has more passion than a load off drunks at a football match .....bad sound track on this vid as well
The lyrics were written by Oscar Hammerstein (American) and the music was written by Richard Rogers (American). The original singer was Christine Johnson (American).
One does know the History of this Song!..however this song has been inherited and bequethed to Liverpool F.C...for emotion and passion come to Anfield,Liverpool for a midweek fixture and you will soon realise that YNWA has found its natural resting place for eternity(if not EVEN longer):)
I don't think one does. Multiple people have claimed it was written for Liverpool or by someone from Liverpool...it was not on both accounts.
I know the fans are very passionate for their team, but that in no way means that they "own" the song. The song is a part of artistic history having been used in Carousel. I do not and will not agree that its "resting place" is with Liverpool. That's ludicrous....no matter how "proud" or "passionate" the fans are.
Thank you, people are so ignorant, they only believe things exist in their little bubble and nothing else in the rest of the world counts. I thought it was just New Yorkers but it's human nature.
I'm aware of that. What does that have ANYTHING to do with what I've said? Just because they've sung this song for years does not mean it belongs to them. It was in no way written for them, by someone from Liverpool, or "bequeathed" to them. The song came out 18 years before Gerry and the Pacemakers' version.
Good voice, but she butchers this classic beauty of a song. She "customized" it, almost beyond recognition. And what the hell did she have to walk around for - as if she were "acting out" the lyrics.
This proves right here and Simon is a dipshit. He says that she can have a hit record with this song and its about 60 years old(it's not) but he says he doesnt like it when she sings "I who have nothing" because its too old. Can you say hypocrite?
No kidding. I'm shocked she wasn't in the bottom 3 the following week after murdering this song, plus Livin On A Prayer, while Phil was one of the best left and got voted off
If you want to hear another great version of this song - arguably the best version ever - check out Roy Hamilton's version. It was uploaded just recently by sojourner06.
Sassybrat is from Canada (according to her YouTube profile thing)... so um... what's the reason for commenting about AMERICAN Idol. If you hate the contestants so much, why do you keep talking about them? CLEARLY someone has be eating too many hater tots. And the fact that you keep calling Jordin fat probably signifies that you may have been eating more than tots.... Something tells me you're fat and jealous. But it's okay... "I feel your pain, I really do." NOT.
ok listen. im not saying this was bad it was good. but to go to saying it was one of the best performances ever on idol is going much too far. the best performance on idol is something with emotion, no pitchy spots, and passion in it. this had some emotion and passion, and quite a few pitchy spots. to compare this to fantasia singing summertime, or kelly hitting that note in natural women, or clay singing solitaire is just stupid.
Jordin Sparks, is a wonderful performer, and I loved when she sang this song, it was so filled with emotion, she showed the emotion throught facial expressions.. And Heck You, all you haters, Jordin Sparks, is really good!! :D
Jordin wears too much make up and looks like a smelly pig. Her singing is like the Disney Review performers or a cheap Vegas act at a 3rd rate casino. I bet she eats alot of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
poor jordin how could ryan be so cruel i was shocked I convinced she was going especially after lakisha got through having said that she screamed this song no way as good as randy went on about! but better than kiki!
Listened to this clip at least 5 times ,each time it touches my heart and brings tears to my eyes for the way she presented this song . She is so genuine . I just pray she will continue to present the same spark of life that she does today . I know she will be big in the music world , being big sometimes brings the temptations to place yourself on a pedestal ,I pray she will remain the sweet girl we all love today .She is blessed ,I hope she will remember the one who gave her the talent.
I am a professional musician of 32yrs and my Father was offered to sing on ED Sulluvin so i have heard just about every singer from oprea to heavy metal. 17yr old Jordin Sparks has been given a heavenly gift, not to many singers communicate with your soul. She is a precious gift from Heaven, and is the Idol winner in my book.
markmanue16, how could you say that , jordin sparks is NOT NOT awful , she is truly amazing and she is so awesome , she is blessed with a talent to sing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are listening more with your heart than with your ears. that's nice, it's your right. Jordin made the most of closing the show, she knew she couldn't lose. But it was a pretty ropey singing performance. She would not get that song down in one for recording. She's well ahead of LaKisha and the guys; she'll have a good career in pop, if well managed. I want her to do well, she's a nice kid it seems. Losing AI wouldn't touch her or Melinda. Relax and enjoy our two ladies!
