  • Comment removed

  • it's been 4 years, and i'm still angry over what Beyonce did to this song... Des'ree did this song right. It is gorgeous.

  • goosebumps

  • this songs makes me  cry every time

  • This song is a Classic.... such a wonderful song. Never seems to get old and always seems to remind you of that special someone in your life.... LOVE truly is the most wonderful thing a human being can ever feel....

  • her dress is really pretty

  • if someone asked me what love was....i would show them this song

  • sounds like an angel

  • wholy shit....... am i crying right now??

  • Des'ree voice is so unique....I love the way she sings this song!!!!

  • My heart can't withstand what this woman puts it through... I would give my soul to all my fellow people so that those who have the power to impact the world; coulc change it to what we all know it need to be.

  • i like beyonces more... i like her words.

  • wow this song was sent from heaven ....now that both of my parents are gone it took on awhole new meaning .....when i can stop crying to sing I SING IT to them ..r.i.p. mama &daddy !

  • My friend had this played at her wedding when she walked up the aisle. There wasnt a dry eye in the house guys, I swear to God. xx

  • LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. Des'ree makes me cry with her beautiful voice.

  • She is the best. This song is so romantic!

  • Beyonce only did a semi-cover of this song. Of course she added her own "flair" to it and it can't really be compared to the original because the songs are so very different. I will ALWAYS love this song and Des'ree's singing of it and I'll think of any covers or remakes as tributes.

  • I love this song,this movie,love it

  • i love this song. when i hear it chills just come on cuz this is like a real love song

  • lol, Rather than searching Youtube for sex videos, you should try my new tool for finding a gf or bf texting bud! It is cellflirt (d0t)us

  • This is a pretty good depiction of love at 1st sight, probably one of the best in film...can anyone think of any others?

  • When I heard that Beyonce did a cover to this I was immediately angry, and when I listened to it, to no surprise, she couldn't execute the same range of emotions as Des'ree. Don't get me wrong, she is a very talented and beautiful woman but she should have left this song alone.

    This is a beautiful song which should have never be tampered with <3

  • @DetroitVixen4Life And she was rightfully sued by Des'ree's representatives when she made a music video against the copyright.

  • angel's voice...very beautiful

  • this is my wedding song i love it, becuz even if you believe your so strong u dont need to love anyone you still miss them wen their not with you and this is my mirror song

    

  • her voice is beautiful :)

  • BEYONCE AIN'T GOT SHIT ON DES'REE!!!!!!!

  • fuck beyonce this one is the first, not a cover!!!

  • i've heard this song on another movie. does anyone know where else this was played?

  • Sometimes, the only words that need be said are the words that are in this song.

    Period. 

  • This Womans Voice IS Beautiful..... Beyonce's Voice Is Great Also I Like B's Version Better Because She IS Just More Relatable To Me With Her Voice

    AND HER VIDEO TOOO THIS SONG IS SOOOO MUCH SEXIER

  • Thanks RBCHILD4EV sorry it took so long to respond

  • I can always count on Des'ree for expressing emotion in her voice. This song gets to me EVERY time I hear it.

  • Man I feel like a jackass but PSG sent me... I am ashamed.

  • If the movie producers had thaught Beyonce could do a better job at ths song hen they would have hired her to do it. Plain and simple

  • @MsAlone4now "thought"?/??? beyonce is NOT the only performer out there...Des'ree has a rich sounding voice, almost operatic (like an opera singer) in nature. I think Beyonce sang the song well but she adds a hint of sleeze to everything she does - Des'ree adds class and that's why they chose her version of the song for the movie: Romeo & Juliet.! Beyonce is not the almighty saviour when it comes to R&B music - she has other irons in the fire - let someone else have the spotlight for once!

  • @sensationalWun

    Thanks for your opinion, I agree with you, my response re: Beyonce was to someone who wrote how Beyonce was much better and coud have done a better job, or something along that line. That's why I said if the prodercers had wanted her they would have hired her instead of Des'ree plain and simple. Also thought I wrote that I had listened to Beyonce's version and not only did she not sing all the words but wasn't as soulful. As a matter of fact I'm not her fan. Reread my posts

  • AH. Leonardo DiCaprio. What a gorgeous man(;

  • for people to sit here and say beyonce didn't do this song justice kills me cause CLEARLY BEY SOUNDED BEAUTIFULLY!!!!! PLEASE WITH ALL THE HATING!

  • @yaboitrey4evaontop umm yeah she sounded alright but she ghettofied the song by changing the lyrics and we all know beyonce is a emotionless droid so i wasn't FEELING it when she song it

  • not that i don't love des'ree's amazing voice but my favorite part of this song is 2:55 .. thats where it gets all epic

  • this is a timeless performance...unbelievable

  • this is most emotional song i have ever heard. It makes me cry every single time. She sounds just so.... heartbroken.

  • some songs should be illegal to remake. This is one of them anyone doing this song other than Des'ree is considered noise pollution.....Listening to her sing this song actually makes you feel that there is some crazy hope for that 4 letter word......

  • Question did she play the blue chick in The 5th Element????? Look @ her in this video and think about 5th Element.SERIOUSLY!!!!

  • @OurKombatz No, it was Maïwenn Le Besco.

  • Question did Des'ree play the blue chick in The 5th Element????? Look @ her in this video and think about 5th Element.SERIOUSLY!!!!

  • The only thing about this video that I don't like...they cut out the part of the song where she sings "Where are you now?"

  • ALL I CAN SAY TO THIS IS LESS IS MORE!!!. Beyonce needs to take a page out of this lady's book. When i watch Beyonce i say a pageant performance the only thing simple was the black and white, however this seem like Des'ree's life and she was telling you her story and i believed it . Well done

  • This is one of my favorite songs of alllll time! I love it!

  • somebody need to slap BEYONCE

  • My favorite song of all time! I can feel every ounce of emotion she has put into this ballad.....and her dynamics are AMAZING! One can only aspire to reach the depth she has when performing this piece!

  • My favorite song of allllllll timeeeeee!!!!!! I can feel every ounce or emotion she brings to this ballad....and her dinamics or AMAZING! One can only aspire to reach the deepth she has reached when performing this song!!!

  • This song brings tears to my eyes. It is so moving and so beautiful. I absolutely love this song.

  • @ondeemia agreed makes me still have hope 4 love like this is hoe it should feel with all the emotions she puts into this track

  • It's hard to get this out of my head but I think Final Fantasy's Somnus was inspired by this song.

  • this shit is soo fkn deep,no remakes will ever count.....smh at you people

  • Last week, I kissed my father's hand. He was unconscious. A few hours later, he died from lung cancer. There aren't many songs that can convey that agony so well as this tragic aria.

  • @Puronicth sorrie to hear tht.your in my prayers....

  • @Puronicth may years tears be turned into laughter in due season. I truly pray you & family's strength. God bless!

  • Feels like love.

  • @Seg741 I love Beyonce's music... but I gotta agree on this one. I listened to half of Beyonce's version, and I just couldn't do it. Beyonce' has a way with slow music... and it's just not right for this song.

  • This son is so perfect for Romeo & Juliet

  • love it love it............................­..

  • this song is goooooooooooooooood:D

  • Beautiful song. Des'ree is the only person I've heard sing it perfectly.

  • Beyonce does not do this song justice! This is a gorgeous piece!

  • she is dangerously talented...like she-would -make-me-fall-in-love-with-any­one-with-this-song talented

  • @uncannybiscuit - I agree!

    

  • Normally I don't like vibrato singers. There's Shakira and Susan Boyle and both can sing it, but Desree's vibrato is just perfect for this song.

  • This song came to mind this morning.....it breaks my heart!

  • I think shes prettier than Beyonce too.

  • @TheKimmieykimkim No way.

  • was this the girl who was singing the song in the movie?

  • my ears just had an orgasm

  • OMG!!!!! I just gave the Beyonce version I try and I couldn't make it passed the first few SECONDS!!!! I am DEFINITELY a purist....

  • omg i love dis song its so beautiful her voice is wonderful :)

  • She sounds like an angel.  It takes me back to a boy I once knew in HS. :(

  • So much emotion in this song. I love Des'ree's version the best though. It's HER song. Now I'll give credit where it's due, Beyonce's is good as well. Not as emotionally charged as this original version though.

  • Vitaluv... you are absolutely right. Classic movie, classic scenes, tru love, passion, and the perfect voice and artist for this song. The Beyonce remake is cheap, and just flung around, it has no feeling, it has no soul, it's dead. To make matters worse she made an incohesive Deja Vu mistake of a video. I'm listening to Des'ree sing this song now, and it just gives me chills how beautiful it is when I hear Des'ree singing this song.

  • Emgee, I couldn't have said it better myself. Des'ree really pours herself into this song, she conveys emotions that Beyonce just can't. Geez, especially with that dumb self absorbed video she has attatched to the song, it's dingy, and it's ridiculous. I llve Beyonce for so many songs that she has, but the remake of this song is pointless. I don't think there is even a handful of people that could match the lyrics with a great dramatic poetic beautiful voice as Des'ree does. It's beautiful.

  • & the test of a remake to a movie soundtrack is could it still fit in the scene even w/a new voice. The answer is NO! I don't care what anyone says. When Whitney did I Will Always Love You she killed it. That can't be denied. Anyone who would say otherwise is either a fool, racist, or deaf. LOL. But with Beyonce's version of this, there is no way it could fit into the movie. Her voice and stupid ass arrangement would fail one of the most beautiful scenes in cinematic history. Class dismissed.

  • this song makes you feel like you're in love..beyonce's version makes you feel..ugh. like it's unexplainable. she doesn't put any depth into it.

  • Beyonce's is better.....This is to operish.... I like how beyonce makes it feel more down to earth and simple..more relaxed and i can understand her. this version isnt bad dont get me wrong but beyonce's is more emotional to me... This is just singing. That is all ... Lol

  • @blaisan .....i like how u dont have one thumbs up......LOL

  • wow she has an powerful voice and she looks like she wasnt tring really. but leonardo...hold on give me a minute...(1minute later) leonardo.......is SO fine gosh just looking at him gives me chills i mean its ridiculouse he is that fine gosh its unbelevable and tell me why it seems like the older he gets the more beautiful he gets i mean its not even belevable like what in the world

  • Listening to this after so long makes me remember what it was like to have those chills thinking/ seeing that persons face... Like how hes sitting next to me right now playing PS3. I do hope he feels the same. Damn look at what this song is doing to me! lmao

  • Comment removed

  • Sensational. Powerful enough to make you stop, think....and feel :)

  • how did beyonce get 3x more the views than Des'ree?! her voice is far more beautiful beyond beyonce's. .

  • ugh!!!! THIS SONG, HER VOICE, SHE'S SO BLESSED AND HER VOICE IS SUCH AMAZEMENT! I GET CHILLS EVERYTIME, I PLAY THIS SONG ALOT! I LOVE HER SO MUCH (i even try to sound like her when im singing this lol)

  • this is love

  • this song, can make you feel like you're in love..when you've never been. that's how powerful it is.

  • Beyonce ruined this song. OK?

  • @lpycb42 I know right! who changes the lyrics to a great classic anyway!

  • Gosh... I remember listening to this song when I watched the movie for the first time... I felt chills. Still gives me chills 15 years later.

  • Panty and Stocking made me find this song. I for one think her voice is FANTASTIC wonderful and very beautiful. I think about my loved ones and how they have found love. From my parents to my grandparents I contemplate about it...who will be that special someone whom I will share my life with? I dunno I will never know all I can say is that I will be loyal to her and no I will NOT be like Chris Chan that jerk....Song moves me to tears and I for one am not ashamed.

  • you know how certain songs just make you feel in love--even if you've never been?

  • beautiful song

  • i did a dance solo to this song and i totally loveee this songg

    <3333

  • LOVE THIS MOVIE AND SONG!!!

  • young leo makes me smile ^_^

  • @gustibank95 hehehe me toooo...(;

  • I like Beyonce's version way better

    but this is good too

  • @TheSummerbabii894 obviously listening to the wrong song... or you're tone deaf.

  • @lpycb42 nope she jus doesnt sdound as qood but everyine has their own opinion. in my opinion she sounds too manly i couldnt even listen to the whole thing -_-

  • @TheSummerbabii894 Me too!

  • Great singer... Great lyrics... but it's just not the kind of music I like.

    She did an amazing job though.

  • <3

  • This is what true love is...the real thing..so sad it doesn't seem to be this way much anymore. LOVE this song.

  • I considering walking down the aisle to this song one day when I get married. (:

  • I'm more attached to this version, and Des'ree has a beautiful voice. It's not about who has the biggest voice here. It's about the emotion conveyed.

  • @Emgee78 I agree with u completely. I heard Beyonce's rendition of this song and it's beautiful too! Like u said it's not about the biggest voices it's the emotion. To sing a song of the this stature the person has to have experience of being in love. I can feel the emotion of love in both songs and that's what make them truly beautiful!

  • @Emgee78 Agreed.

  • Thumbs up if you found this through Panty and Stocking : D

    Beautiful song and voice~

  • i like romeo and juliet but out of the hole movie this is the part i like the most

  • Its hard to find a song that makes a movie so memorable. this is one of those songs. I saw this in 1996, in 8th grade on a school trip to see Romeo and Juliet. This song has stayed with me ever since!

  • Shes a great singer.....love the song but I so love Beyonce's remake

  • Utterly Amazing..I'm speechless...

  • i much prefer the stars rating system over the like & dislike. ugh

  • I am trying hard not to cry on this song. Its so beautiful!!!

  • love it love it

  • How dare Beyonce remake this song! She couldn't touch this song the way Des'ree can and I'm ready to battle anyone who says she can!!!

  • @Seg741 I do LOVE beyonce, but THIS RIGHT HERE....she had to LEAVE alone...DES"REE KILLS this SONG...in only a way SHE could!!!! moves me to tears...the backdrop, the theme, the melody...SOUL STIRRING for real....not many songs move me to this point, but THIS ONE DOES!!!!

  • @Seg741 I agree. Beyonce added to it and it kinda killed it for me. and the video for it is crap

  • @Seg741 Girl, let the retarded masses eat off Bey's poo poo of a song. They know not real talent or emotion when they hear it. Des'ree's voice...controlled, brilliant, classic. Des can do it all. And she didn't have to see her soul achieve it.

  • @Seg741 Girl, let the retarded masses eat off Bey's poo poo of a song. They know not real talent or emotion when they hear it. Des'ree's voice...controlled, brilliant, classic. Des can do it all. And she didn't have to sell her soul achieve it.

  • @Seg741 You're so right. Des'ree has a very beautiful and mournful voice. Beyonce did ok but nothing like Des'ree.

  • @Seg741 THANK YOU. Beyonce thinking that she can do this song because she has the vocals. Pshhhh.

  • @KAYLEE00000 i JUST listened to the Beyonce version and my face was stuck on dissatisfied the entire time.. I don't think i liked it...!

  • @Seg741 agreed!!

    

  • @Seg741 Agreed, the latter was ok, but this is filled with so much more passion...it's far more real then Beyonce ever imagined. But, I give her kudos for at least passing on a good song to a new generation.

  • @Seg741

    Uhm SHUT UP! Please!

  • words cannot describe how much emotion and how beautiful her voice is.

  • I have loved this song for 14 years and will love it forever more. This is an amazing depiction of the passion and torture that was Romeo and Juliet's love.

  • Apparently 130 people never kissed anyone before.

  • Beyonce has a power and stability about her voice that I ABSOLUTELY adore, so I like her cover better. This one is good too, but this is just my opinion....

  • BEYONCE VERSION IS BETTER CAUSE SHE IS MY IDOL, BUT DES'REE IS VERY VERY GOOD....DES'REE SONG IS VERY POWERFULL

  • I LOVE THIS AND Des'ree has a POWERFUL VOICE!!!

  • notice the green line above here :)

  • this song is awesome! i just fall in love all over again when i hear it.

  • LOL trying to understand why ppl bother responding to any haters that feel they are so BORED with there own lives or dislike themselves that they NEED to even put up hateful comments about a video.....because as far as im concerned...oh wait...im not concerned about you!! OK NOW.....back to the song!! :)

  • i still like beyonce's version better

  • @1013trish yuk..this is classic.

  • @sensationalWun sorry, i dont like her voice.

  • @1013trish sorry, i love it!!

  • i like bee's version wayyyy better !

  • @princesstinele101 i agree

  • I have loved this song from the first time I heard it, Des'ree does this all the justice in the world! Exceptional talent and no one can take this from her...not this one!

  • better then beyonce's version
