  • This gives me goosebumps. Like someone mentioned it is just cool. A timeless live performance and song. Nobody does it like Jill. This is what a live performance should be like; taking a song people know and putting a fresh twist on it. Simply inspiring. This version on oprah sold me on Jill and i have been a fan ever since. Ms Jill please bring something new, the wait is killin me.

  • It´s like someone draw her face and dreamed her music and she was created

I loved everything about it, how her eyes twinkle with happiness, her voice which only competes with her soulfulness. In love, on Oprah, getting the recognition she deserves - you can just feel her heart glowing through this song.

  • SHE IS THA BOMB YOU GO GIRL

  • Wow She is Great!!! My Favorite song by her!!!

  • Just had an out-of-body experience. Imagine if the video quality was better.

  • Ms. Jill Scott is AWESOME!!!!

    Is that Vivian Green in the white tank top singing back up?

  • @Finallyfree2beme Yeah Vivian Green and V were back up singers for Jill...

  • i absolutely love her eyes in this video. they smile the whole video

  • man man man ....

    Jill really knows how to use her instrument ...

    she never gives too much or too little ...

    I think that's what her sets her apart from other artists...

  • @zsmith9032: Absolutely. Unlike so many singers with great flexibility, power, and range, Jill Scott never oversings. I just wish she had included the high, operatic notes in this performance. Other than that it was flawless.

  • Jill is fabulous I remember my first time seeing her was on the Chris Rock show performing Getting in the way and I knew to go right out and get her CD which was coming out the following week and she has not disappointed me ever since.

  • DAWN.................smile

  • my 3 year old makes me put this song on repeat in the car when we are traveling, now she sings it word for word...jill is such a sweet spirit...even babies pick up on her soul...true gift from god...we need more people with soulful songs like she puts out...great job jill...keep it up.

  • This has got to be my favorite Jill Scott performance...

  • I love the posititive energy that Jill Scott brings, it's an ongoing thing that I am so grateful for.

  • I am so blessed to have experienced "Who Is Jill Scott?" Bravo just bravo and brilliant.

  • she has such a sweet kind soul and it comes through in her music.

  • Do You Have Mary Mary singing Shackles on this Episode of Oprah!?!?!?!?!?!

  • There are few people like Jill Scott on this earth! A true gift from God!

  • did anyone notice that vivian green is one of her background singers? vivian got her deal around this time

  • Damn!!! Ive been longing to see this performance ever since it debuted & i click on it & its not recorded loud enough,damn damn damn :(

  • @iluvrachellef i SOOOO AGREE! :-(

  • I cannot add anything that hasn't already been said here. Even though I have heard this song a thousand times, saw the original performance on oprah and still after watching this clip, I have tears streaming down my cheeks.

    Thank you Jill, god bless you for being you.

    For some moments, there are no words.

  • @Hideo007 very will said!

  • Just beautiful: her, her smile, her music, her soul. Keep doing what you do Jill

  • She is one of the most beautiful women I've seen & heard. I'll bet she's an incredibly strong woman too. I saw this performance years ago when it was on TV & have loved her ever since. It's still my favourite, standout performance ever!

  • This was the very first time I saw her with Alicia Keys' debut..

    They have both exploded ever since!

  • Simply amazing and her smile is gorgeous!

  • This is the song and the performance that got me into Neo-Soul.

  • Great talent!!! And she's so humble!!! She can really put on a shoe!!!!!

  • does anyone know who the backup singers are?

  • the one in the white is Vivian Green. She went on to release Emotional Rollercoaster

  • sorry didnt mean to press the thumbs down. I was over excited and button happy

  • All I got to say...BAD!

  • brrrrrrrrrr... goose bumps....

  • she's God's gift to da world

  • In singing about love it doesn't get more honest than this - that's why we feel a connection

  • Sad that Jill is now divorced...

    Her music is still beautiful but her current material doesn't have the carefree joy and innocence of her earlier music. Divorce I suppose will do that.

  • well i know after that divorce she eventually got engaged with one of her drummers and they had a baby boy together. althought i don't think they'er together anymore perhaps motherhood will be her inspiration next=)

  • @juaquino really? Well the divorce rate is about 60% these days. Nobody ever said love has to last forever -- or that you can live with the person you love... sad, but there it is.

  • love it!!!!!!!!!!!

  • LOVE HERRRR! This song is BEAUTIFUL!

  • Jill is so beautiful!!

  • absolutely wonderful
