Stevie wonder has one the greatest voices In history, I can never get enough of his singing :') he's done really nice songs and this has to be one of the best ones ♥♥♥ Muchlove Stevie
The pop was... odd... but I liked it. Know why? Unlike some others who cover, he didn't try to outshine the original, and that's a sign of a great artist. : )
Ohmygod it's not suppose to be better than or worse the original . It's a cover it's suppose to be different. People on here are honestly like 5 year olds.
@italiaqirlx33 I think Stevie Wonder's version is more compelling, & has more bite,his voice just gets into your soul & heart. The Harp playing by Stevie just kills it,he is the GOD of all music!
@sakpase19 Sure, I hear you: 1:30 is great; the moment Stevie takes over. Nonetheless, 2:50 is pretty sweet two [head of harmonica solo], but I live for 3:36.
This is featured on the Original 1996 Musical Soundtrack to Rent, not the movie one. So you can find this song there. I got the album off of iTunes, so look there!! =)
AND OMG OMG I LOVE RENT. IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE.
For twelve years IT WAS US BABE WHO WERE THE LUCKY ONES!
This is the version I have on my mix CD. I really liked it, and I didn't have to hear this version every time my roommate watched the movie version about 5 times a day, so it never got old for me. Thanks for posting, and very nice video.
he is great when he sings i dont know theres smethin magical bout his voice i luv it he great wurds cant describe it hes a legend better than anyone even elvis way better rip elvis!!!
Well, since some of you don't like the backing singers, I guess they'll just have to get rid of the whole cast, CUS THAT IS WHO IS SINGING IT!!! duh!! lol :)
thanks for the info but not the attitude. :-) anyway, just because they're the original cast doesn't mean that they're suited for the new R&B style of the song. it was a good effort but i don't think they quite nailed the style.
nope not all of the original cast. i like how they had tracie thoms do one of the solo parts in the movie. i like her voice a lot better than the other actress she replaced. plus while seasons of love is great on the soundtrack, they don't really mesh that well with stevie wonder's voice. he doesn't have a broadway voice and the fact that they tried not to make this a broadway song while still using the cast seems to throw off the sound to me. they're trying for R&B but it's not quite there.
well you're entitled to your opinion and i agree to some extent that a live performance would suit them better than a recording but i love tracie thoms' voice. just because someone did it first doesn't mean that they did it better. :-)
YOU SUCK because rent was originally a play, DUMBSHIT. not just a "MOVIE". stevie wonder IS singing with them, it's a special recording. look who's dumb now.
You don't know who Jonathan Larson was? Dude! Jonathan Larson was the composer of "Seasons of Love." He was the creater of the musical "Rent," which is where "Seasons of Love" is from(in case you don't know). And if you haven't seen "Rent," then you need to because it will change your life.
you could get it on iTunes or buy the original 2-disc broadway cast. London just took a butcher knife and stabbed it in te heart of RENT (Johnathan Larson) It breaks my heart to see a musical go away knowing that it's being made into a piece of shit in london. Kepp on living people and remember the love because you never know when it's your last time here on earth.
LOVE THIS SONG
