[jessyrosegirl]

When I watched footloose, this was the first song and it caught my attention. I paused the movie and typed in the lyrics hoping to find the song and sure enough I did :)

[kenzielashua]

[daniellemariepaduch]

[cindyfish123]

She looks sooo much like Jayma Mays from Glee :)

[MegaJesussaves1]

THIS VERSION IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE IF U AGREE

[minicoopersworksgp7]

nice motherfuckers!!!



[musicmanyandex]

Much worse than the original. It's boring, and not the best vocals. Bad execution. But this is my personal opinion.

[love1122able]

@musicmanyandex No one asked you. Take your hate elsewhere.

[musicmanyandex]

@love1122able It is not hate. This is the point of view of professional singers.

[love1122able]

@musicmanyandex Yes I see that you are quite the professional, what with all your videos being deleted due to copyright infringement and everything.

[musicmanyandex]

@love1122able Ha-ha! I have not even tried to upload the video on YouTube. And it seems to me, you hate everyone. Must be able to easily relate to other people's opinions. Even if you do not really like it.))

[brunomarsfanno1]

love this song

[TheOnesWeLoveTheMost]

When you're sad you don't have a hero, listen to this version, BUT

when you're angry that you don't have a hero, listen to Bonnie's ! :D

Love them both!!

[brittnygarden]

apparently people are deaf, because even though the original was amazing, this is just beautiful.

[truspider]

nope.

you ppl are obviously deaf

[Onfire1232]

How can this not have millions of views, it's literally AMA-ZING!

[ZariaCulen]

Love this song

[itsme12233221]

im sorry but how does this not have more views?! it is literally amazing.

[queen20B]

the song in her voice are better than Bonnie Tyler sorry Bonnie ):

[iamjd32]

this song CANNOT be acoustic!

[rodeichick100]

Love this song! :)

[702neonboy]

kinda reminds me of mandy moore in walk to remember! dont know why? the style of her voice maybe

[Kacidy95]

ooooh! goosebumps!

[CarolineN98]

It is so beautiful

[LollypopLC]

This song is beautiful.

[ECGgymnast7]

44 people havent found their hero :)

[reblehell]

She has the cutest voice ever.

[xRequiem666]

This is shit.

[KailiandEmmaroxursox]

do u think this would be good for a lyrical dance solo????

[jurgmike]

Wow. She completely ruined this song.

[702neonboy]

@jurgmike ruined? the original sucks so much! this is an amazing cover! and im a heavy metal head! bonnie eclipse of the heart was good every thing else no!

[hello333able]

im sorry but its not dramatic enough

[LuvFearlessly]

I cried when I first heard this song.

[claytonlose]

I've been waiting for my hero for years. I've had so many nights alone, crying because I've been told that I'm going to hell for being gay. Five months ago, my hero walked into my life, and swept me off my feet. It was the most beautiful thing in the world....and it felt just like I always dreamed it would. My friends love him, my parents love him, and I LOVE HIM. More than I can ever describe on a YouTube comment.

I've been waiting 19 years for you, Jamie. And now we have a lifetime.

[Arimesselt]

this song should be alot more famous.

just sayin'.

[jurgmike]

@Arimesselt It is. This is a cover.

[maddipeery293148]

thumbs up if this song really gets to u and u cannt help but cry

[2marebear3]

I love her voice; it is so raw and real.. the lyrics are amazing.

I'm glad there's someone out there who believes there's a hero worth WAITING for. :)

Racing on the thunder

And rising with the heat

Isn't there a Superman

To sweep me off my feet? ♥

[allierenee2238]

the guy who saved me from taking my life left me two months ago...... last wednesday was the first time i saw him since he left.... he made me feel like i meant something to him again and that he was sorry.... he saved me from going back into depression and i cant tell you how much he means to me...... i sing this song everytime i think of him

[Rockioe]

@allierenee2238 I am sooooooo happy 4 you in how this guy helped you first out of depression and than just recently by his return. Human heroes are recognized with ultimate appreciation. Yet, if one forgets or rejects the ultimate hero than all is lost. Jesus and his death on the cross and His resurrection was, is and always will be the greatest act of heroism every in all of eternity. It is by accepting, trusting and believing that this awesome God/man sacrifice is >>continued>>

[Rockioe]

@allierenee2238 >>continued>> for one's ultimate freedom spiritually. God says of every human soul that we have all sinned and come short of his glory~~Rom. 3:23... He says in Rom. 2:10,11~There is none righteous no not one:There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. The greatest news of Christ is God is not mad at any of us any more. All of this anger, wrath, and hatred towards sin was taken out upon God's only Son JESUS. Now just receive & ENJOY Him!

[Rockioe]

@allierenee2238 Correction---oops. My first paragraph should read near the bottom this, "Jesus and his death on the cross and His resurrection was, is and always will be the greatest acts of heroism ever in all of eternity"... Thanks

[SameHat88]

@Rockioe if you say Jesus death on the cross is the greatest act... should we not then follow by his example..? not meaning the death but by heroism... y cant our humanity do as we were shown/told not just by Him but by every Great Human to ever Walk before ( Buddha, Muhammad, Gandhi, Martin Luther king, Mother Teresa ) who ever it may be These HUMANS Projected PEACE Through their words... We All have Hearts and are born with intellect..This Song is Beautiful WE ALL NEED A HERO!!!

[13MattP13]

Thanks for ruining the greatest song ever.

[ThePinkAlpaca]

@13MattP13 I hope that was addressed to Bonnie Tyler... I'll leave it at that.

[LuvFearlessly]

@13MattP13 Ruining? She nailed it!

[pupleono]

One thing every girl wants..

[DramaGirl911]

Oh my dear goodness. This song is absolutely beautiful. <3

[mg98798]

I love this song :)

[amkc1514]

love this song so beautiful

[eckogurl24]

im inlove with this song every sense my cousin sang it at a party:)

[wingedzer0]

Chivalry is not dead. The problem is so many people in the modern generation get hooked on drugs, sex, and other addictions and small things in this world its so easy to fall into, but quietly the hero lurks undiscovered looking for someone similar to how they perceive the world. If your morals are right, and your heart in the right place, you might just find the hero.

[LindB377]

Sounds like you want a soldier, hooah.

[LiTTle8022]

It fit the in the movie perfectly....

[LiTTle8022]

I LOVEEEE THIS SO MUCH!!

[RamonaViciousMonroe]

@LiTTle8022 im obsessed. every since dancing with the stars

[stelbl]

Love this song

[4everhogwarts]

This is better than anything by adele and it barely gets anywhere near the praise.

[haqatak23]

This version is different from the 80s bonnie tyler classic. This version is more of a love song, compared to tyler's upbeat disco soundtrack. I prefer tyler's version because it's more upbeat. But credit to Bowen she is a good vocalist, and does a good song.

[awesomegv13]

beautiful

[savonsavvy]

This song describes a friend of mine who recently passed away at the age of 19. He fits the description of this song so well. I cry whenever I hear this song, and think of the way things could've been. He was the hero I was waiting for and I never got to tell him. I only hope to do him just and live this life cherishing it in all the many ways he did. He died in the mountains to only reach his destiny sooner. I hope he's up there dancing his way around this earth. He is still my hero.

[jokojokoify]

beautiful

[RLex2011]

so beautiful! she sounds like jewl, beautiful voice

[RgrRone]

Beautiful...

[cookiemonster2931]

So beautiful i love the guitar strumming in the beginning<3

[emy5888]

She has one of the most beautiful voices. Just amazing.

[RHODES0BABY]

@xujhan what? What's your point in your comment towards me? I was saying that every girl wants to marry a hero. I'm sorry that I have standards and I'm not willing to settle for something worthless??

[dancerforlife2425]

i love this!!! if i could live in the movie footloose i would!!!

[Jacobzgirl455]

this version is better then the real version

[5872flower]

LOVE THIS SONG!!! :D

[PrettyMishawaka]

YouTube is not church and it's not the twin towers. I responded as ERT that day and I am tired of you all acting like you god damn know the horribleness of that fucking day. If you didn't respond, didn't lose somebody that day, not a police officer, not a firefighter, or didn't work at the Pentagon, then SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[PrettyMishawaka]

Can't you all get your own god damn websites for your comments instead of fucking up this one????

[LollypopLC]

Late at night i toss and turn and dream of what i need

[American5270]

people are stupid, why are you getting in stupid debates about politics and 9/11? just comment on the song

[TrueScottBoy]

I love that accent listen to how she says dance

[ChloeBallantineXx]

1,731 people know good music when they hear it

[Leyliserair]

awesome . 

[lifebreathmindsoul]

GORGEOUS version of this song :)

[SecretsInSociety]

for some reason, i always pictured this lady as an old lady. lol, but shes not so yeah...

[Rockioe]

Jesus is my hero. He is absolutely 100% larger than life. The greatest part of knowing my LORD is that I don't have to wait till I die to see His beauty,love and fragrance of grace/mercy. I have my hero in my heart right now. Jesus, thanks for being my hero.

You showed me and all those who have received you that Almighty God is not mad at us any more. I love you LORD...

[Jebess99]

I love this song so much! There is so much emotion in the way she sings it ;)

[mattjreid]

This is version is sentimental, whereas the original version is bombastic.

I prefer the bombastic.

[brina8015]

Like if you cryed (; -\3

[JosieJsFantasy]

i love this song,, so much emotion was put into the way she sung this...

[grits905]

This is awesome!! She puts so much feeling in it. Way better than the original song!!

[peace2theworld13]

WHAT THE FUCK ARE THE CHORDS FOR THIS. i've seached everyyywhere & i can't find any legit chord progressions. i mean, this is fucking beautiful. flawless. amazing. i mean, if anyone knows, i would love an answer. :) cause i'm kinda obsessing over here.

[starmiriamma]

this song is so amazig i need a hero

B)

[thejokersmistress15]

All right remake...but I wish she's rid of the squeaks and breathless gasps. It sounds sloppy.

[alwaysgonnab2cute4u]

@thejokersmistress15 I love her voice , she puts so much emotion into it!! it sounds so pretty ans soft

[EnocMunoz]

The original Bonnie Tyler version is catchy. This version is BEAUTIFUL. Chances are this girl approached Bonnie, sang her heart out with this acoustic version. And then Bonnie probably said, "Touche. Go ahead and do your thing young one."

[Arppis]

Power sapped... need energy... AERGH!

[TomHyberger]

Not very good

[raecain07]

Hate the original, love this one! Sorry 80s! Ella Mae rocked this one. :)

[RHODES0BABY]

this song describes everything a little girl grows up to want in a man. Its a beautiful, clean and pure version of the song. I'm not trying to diss the original but it fits for this generation. I'm ready for my hero to stand up and show me that chivalry isn't dead.

[xujhan]

@RHODES0BABY Hate to say it, but if that's your attitude then your hero probably isn't interested.

Actually, no, I lied. I don't hate saying that.

[darkshadowshinobi]

@RHODES0BABY Sometimes you gotta be your own hero

[Kcoure]

I /love/ this song. Of course, I view the hero she is singing about as Jesus Christ and, when I imagine Him while singing this song, goose-bumps run up and down my skin. <3 Absolute LOVE.

[fire1202]

Terrible. It takes away everything exciting, thrilling and thunderous about the original and turns it into trash for emos.

[NotUnderstandingIt]

I love this version. She puts so much emotion into it and i can't listen to it without being moved.

[colemanhill]

I remember as a kid when the original song by Tyler was released and thinking it was totally awesome and well used in "Short Circuit", but this cover is epic.

[JBsabz]

who can DISLIKE this song!! omg go shoot your selves

[TheGabbbster17]

i love this rendition , i dont like bonnie tylers sorry .

[ThePinkAlpaca]

after this, I went to the original. after about 15 secondss of the original version, I realized that it was absolutely awful, so I came back. Bonnie Tyler, I believe you just got overpowered.

[ericadillon16]

i love tthis song i need that same some one that is going to b there when i look u from falling hard. some one that i can talk to when im down.some one i can look up to n say ya thats my bby n i love hi cuz he love me the same way...but theres not alot of thos heros out here no more the dum biichs that dont need thim well thy have thim :( but ya still looking for that one...

girl keep it tho i love every song <3 :)

[714bari]

Hate I didn't hear this song before the movie :[

[hannahGsutherland]

This is the most beautiful song i have ever heard. Ive been playing it on repeat for days.

[hannahGsutherland]

This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. I have been playing it on repeat for days!

[lilylove120296]

i just cant get enoguh od this song :)

[JarouqueXIII]

There's something about her voice that really annoys me. Like she's almost squeaking when she changes notes (I know squeaking is the wrong word but I can't think of any other word)...

[TheNerdWithin12]

This is a great version...I still love the Frou Frou version the best, but this is a close second.

[ryanestabrooke111]

makes me sick to my stomach everytime.. its such a beautiful song i wish i had another chance with her but it most likely wont happen just gotta keep praying... amazing song..

[BeautyisPower23]

"I am a hero I'm holding out till the end of your night.

I am strong, I am fast, And I am still fresh from the fight...

I am your hero, I'm standing here and will till the morning light

I am sure, I'm always here. And I'm larger than life, larger than life..." ♥ Jesus

[horses4life1221]

@BeautyisPower23

To me it's all animals... horses..!!!

Beautiful song

[horses4life1221]

@BeautyisPower23

Horses are my hero(s) they cure my sadness.they cure my pain.they cure...ME...

[pineapplelover54]

@BeautyisPower23  AMEN!

[CaptainWuby]

@BeautyisPower23 Jesus was black, Ronald Reagan's the devil and the government is lying about 9/11

[betsi2196]

@CaptainWuby keep this too yourself. no one wants to hear it.

[CaptainWuby]

@betsi2196 and I dont want to hear stuff about Christ and such, but since theres no irl filters i am almost forced to each day. Besides, if a pointless comment about a fictional character can have 85 likes, why cant my pointless comment which includes a greater variety of views get the same?

Stop the hate crime.

[marebearroxthehouse5]

@CaptainWuby Who Cares about Jesus's race... He is our savior, and THAT is all that matters.... asshole

[betsi2196]

@marebearroxthehouse5 Thank you!

[CaptainWuby]

@marebearroxthehouse5 Why am I an "asshole" for stating facts? That's very rude of you. Our savior? He saved some people a long time ago.. if you believe in that stuff. Still, should let go of the past.

[betsi2196]

@CaptainWuby If the government is lying about 9/11 how the hell do you explain the families who lost a loved one? How do you explain people still going through pain and sorrow for even seeing the twin towers fall or the pentagon? please enlighten me, oh how i wanna hear your logic behind all this madness.

[CaptainWuby]

@betsi2196 The building imploded. That's a technique that people use to demolish buildings safely so that you only destroy the building and not the whole block. The government killed people so that the effect would be greater and get support on their war on terror, so that the government could point fingers and say "they started". Win votes on elections and such. Do you really trust the government? I understand hope and such irrational ideas, but those things are born from ignorance.

[littleangelsass]

@BeautyisPower23 I never thought of this song that way... thank you for making me realize that I already have a hero:)

[morgannenicole]

This song makes me feel even more hopeless...but I love it anyways

[Jewls787]

i loved this song when bonnie tyler did it and i love it now even more because its the country version and ella is amazing BEST SONG EVER :D

[bethany9312]

This song is gorgeous.

[iheartmyboo96]

This song makes me want to dance. -3

[keymook26]

how do I get the single to this, amazon, itunes only sell the album. stupid, I don't want the rest of the song, why would they not allow us to only buy this song????

[RianaaFARRO]

You're like a talented version of Katy Perry.

[Evfan1789]

This song makes me wish I could just grab the person I love, pull them in close, and dance the night away.<3

[SamoIsKing]

This aint got shit on Bonnie Tyler.

[xoxogymnast08]

this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard Ella Mae did a wonderful job

[BiebersGurl93]

I love this song:)

[KUgirl26]

[143Simpsonfan]

[Shauna646]

[TAYLORMADEMUSICify]

Ella May i love your voice. I love you!!

[TAYLORMADEMUSICify]

What movie? Wanna see it!! Love this song too. Am going to submit it to our trio. Needs to be about Jesus i think. Gospel for sure. ((>_<)) Total inspiration no doubt

[browneyes129]

@TAYLORMADEMUSICify the new Footloose:)

[seveervixen]

and since i see people below me are nonsensically arguing over versions --- This version is 28.7 million times better than the original :)

[emFF5luver]

Her producer is Seth Bolt...who is the bass player for Needtobreathe...who was Taylor Swift's opening band on the Speak Now tour.

Ohhh connections! :)

[seveervixen]

Her voice Captivates me * Can't Stop Listening! * Love it!

[MrAliciaCook]

[ciaoginabella]
