  • I wish my name was Sara.. :l

  • Apparently if your name is Sarah but ends with an "H" the song has nothing to do with you isn't that namist

  • Hell yeah... This Sarah loves this cover... ;-)

  • dang they did their thing on this track......smh best rnb group to me

  • @BruceJC75 amen to that my brotha!!

  • I gotta find me a Sarah so I can sing and play this for her!

  • @nicholasnareshkumar My name is Sarah...

  • My name is sara:)

  • beautiful (sniffle sniffle) i sang along to the whole song!!!

  • Not Boys II Men. It's Shai, I think

  • @ehukai2003 it is boyz II men

  • @ehukai2003 Boys 2 men. I have the CD.

  • I love Boyz II Men but something about this non-organic beat behind it took away from the musicality of the song. This is not a song to do without 100% live instrumentation.

  • NOW ALL I NEED IS A GIRL NAME SARAH.

  • @dubvc1 even tougher, her name has to be spelled 'Sara' ,not "Sarah".

  • LYRICS needed PLEASE:)

    

  • yes i love this song from Hall and Oates....this is very nice too!! thanks for sharing

  • @hernan1551 Whats Hall and Oates?

    are those the original singers?

  • @dubvc1 you may already got your answer, but just in case you havn't ,yes. daryl hall and john oats are the original singer and writers.

  • @dubvc1 Gee, I hope you have since checked out Hall and Oates, icons!

  • Boyz 2 men killed dis man

  • this and the after 7 version are the best covers IMHO

  • Lots of virtuoso--but too many and too much--this was like an intimate song of a man to his lover and her kind of new at the whole thing--H & O rocked this--sometimes it is not about how much you can manipulate the song or your voice--the vibe is not there for me--too fast and too many doing too much--but love B II Men--this one goes to the Original.

  • I forgot there is another cover: Brian McKnight. Wfhen I first heard him sing Sara Smile I felt loved. And remembered how much I like having romance in my life.

  • I love the original because of Hall & Oates. I am a fan of Boyz II Men. They sing

    Sara Smile so melodically romantic and soft. And I also love the way After 7 add their

    passionate voices to background music that ignites this song and takes it to another level of romance. : )

  • Love it (: they have some of the most beautiful voices ever -3

  • Im a big b2men fan but brian mcknight did a much better job!

  • I love this version. We need more music like this.

  • Again, they are not trying to "out-do" someone at their song...just trying to honor the originals.....WE ALL KNOW HALL AND OATES DID IT BEST!!!! LET IT GO AND ENJOY THE MUSIC. Or get off this page..

  • @DeLayneBrown

    And B2M Did an OUTSTANDING job at honoring H&O!

    Great comment!

  • @oldguyami Thanks!! lol

  • My name is Sara <3 !!! :D

  • My name is sara 

  • i love the hall and oates version but yhat was a nice twist

  • i really luv this version

  • This was awful.

  • @ColtFan89 listen to after 7 version its much much better

  • I change my mind, LISTEN TO THE BRIAN MCKNIGHT VERSION!!!

  • DANG!! I just listened to hall and oates b4 this and they r g8, BUT Boyz ll Men...mmmm! I love this!

  • A wonderful version of this song. A bittersweet love song!!!!!

  • YES! I finally found a song that wasn't either depressing or about stupid Sarah Palin! thanks for posting, I love this song.

  • honestly i dont know what people are talking about, im sorry, but boyz to men's version is 10x better than hall and oates, original or not, boyz to men made this better

  • This song jus makes me think about my ex and my life.

  • My goodness, this is beautiful. I love this version as well, I'm only in 1:30 of the song, but I already love it. Hall and Oates who did the original version is untouchable, but Boys II Men did an amazing job!

  • This is really smooth and nice..

  • :) My name is Sarah and I think every guy I hav ever dated has brought up this song.

  • best cover of one of my fave songs.....excellent job

  • @blulinx after 7 did the best cover

  • Nice job guys :-)

  • I love this song! whom ever sings it!

  • hall and oates smashed this song and i almost threw my draws at the screen when i heard this rendition! LOVE THE HARMONIES!

  • "We"? you say it like you had something to do with it being made. This song sucks and mgr's forcing people/groups to make and publish music that sucks, just cuz they liked the song and might make a dollar off someone stupid like yourself, accounts for why nobody can turn on the radio anymore w/o getting lady Gaga or worse. Sarcasm... ur funny -

  • hermosa....I'm dedicating this song to you.....

  • @MrToocooljoe hi who r u? lol thanks

  • God bless all the sarahs in this world.....glad had my experince with a sarah.

  • @nicholasnareshkumar i just had a sarah leave me...but she is in a better place!

    ):

  • @nicholasnareshkumar hey i'm a sarah

  • I wish this song was for me. Then there would be an 'h' at the end of Sara (like its supposed 2 lol) oh well... :)

  • thats too bad, butchering classics seems to be the thing all you morons are fooled by. i guess when it comes to boosting album sales, if u cant make it, take it. at least 232 of you are wak!!!

  • @MegaDede23 you're totally right. why should we even make any new music. just listen to the same people do the same shit over and over! who cares if people who have talent to a great job paying their respects to the classics, they all suck!!!! (did you catch my sarcasm?)

  • This song is pretty good but no one can beat the Original Hall & Oats Version.!! And My Name is Sara and Im so proud of My Name.!! (:

  • boyz 2 men really kicked a lot of ass on this version of sara smile,hall n oates should B very proud

  • hall and oats is the best because they are the originals and thats the only reason ,they are lucky boys to men didnt make this first

  • does my name cover why I'm smiling :)

  • its when this moments that i love My Name : Sarah :)

  • Ahh, they did alrite, hall&oates, and brian beats em tho...

  • LISTEN to the RIchie Kotzen version

  • Good job Wanya holding it down...

  • Oh My....I am in Love with this song all over again...These guys are SOOOOO Talented. God Has Bless these fellas!!

  • Gurlz 4 curls getta jeri curl then hurl ammoniah. Sara Silo=Sss Buddha imagine calling your sister budabitch.

  • everyone always asks if i get my user name from this song XD i didnt, but i like this song! :D

  • I give credit where it's due. I think there are too many purists out there.

    This is a KICK ass version, and is right up ther with HALL & OATES. This is actually one of the best remakes of any song.

  • @whoregay : I totally agree! I LOVE this version...and my name isn't even Sara! LOL!

  • Jimmy waynes cover is nice

  • mmm! just can't resist Boyz II Men!

  • I didnt know they covered this song...........they sound good without a doubt.......but Hall & Oates nailed it the first time

  • @Jacobrester U r so right, but I havent heard this version so I think its great and Brian Mcknights Version. The song is great. This song was about Darryl's girlfriend Sara, they were together for years. I saw them on A&E talking about the real Sara. They only split up a few years ago.

  • Damn yo....That's sweet

  • Hey i love this song... thanks! my name is sara and you just totally made my day!!!! wow!!!!! haha thanks!

  • well done, way better version, with soul. best version

  • this version fucking sucks. nobody does it better than hall&oates. the only acceptable cover of this song is by jimmy wayne. boys 2 men suck they do an awful job with this song and they are a fucking bad band.

  • @stephiebragg then dont listen to it,you stupid bitch

  • @ajahamza woah there! you don't even know me and you are calling me a bitch! How mature, really! i was simply expressing my feelings about this video.so yeah, you do not need to be calling people names...THAT IS CALLED BULLYING! ...and people get in serious trouble for that! so if you are going to be doing that...please, go back to myspace because nobody cares on there.

  • @stephiebragg hall&oates and jimmy wayne are the better version because they are white? please get over yourself. am very sure Boys2men wouldnt appreciate your comment about their version fucking sucks, as you so arrogantly put it. Am not a Bully, i just like give people a taste of their own medicine, and see if they like it. from the sound of it i can tell you dont like it.

    if cant handle it, dont give it. and who died and made u music critic?

  • @ajahamza i never said i liked them better because they are white! you are just assuming things! everybody is a critic to music! i hear things that i don't like on the radio everyday and i will critasize it if i wish to. it is my opinion weather i like or dislike this version of the song. you were the one that had to comment on what i said!

  • @stephiebragg off course it makes sense now, you are a 20 year old, who no anything about music, you listen to music from the lights of taylor swift, and you  think you have the right to critic soul? such arrogants. honey stick to what your childish music, and leave rnb and soul to the more mature sophisticated people

  • @stephiebragg do you even like rnb or soul. typical

  • @ajahamza and that is my dession if i don't like it! do you really have that much of a problem with me not likeing this version? if you do you should just grow up and get over it.

  • @stephiebragg  learn to spell you twart, decision not dession

  • @ajahamza well i'm sorry if i'm not the best speller on the earth! i'm sure you are not either. i don't usually go around spell cheeking what other people have written in less if i am told to. but you know good job! i hope you get a job a human dictinary!

  • @stephiebragg, am sorry, i just dont like when people criticize other people, especially when they have tried. Am very sure you wouldnt appreciate your effort being criticized the way you did them. Think about it

  • @ajahamza well i'm done with this conversation. all these comments were just a waste of my time when i could have been doing something more productive. so goodbye and have a nice life. :)

  • @stephiebragg, well you should have thought about that .

  • some songs just cant be remade no disrespect but this song was made for hall and oats

  • I love this version!!!!

  • This is a very good cover. B2M did a very good job remaking this song:)

  • Excelente, muy blusero en el + puro estilo dl blus negro

  • nobody but Hall & Oates

  • My Name is Sarah, so i believe this song was written for me. I just love it the way Boyz II Men sing it :)

  • nice tribute to the top Philly group"Hall and Oates"

  • I love this song!

  • This nice. I usually hate their singing over each over crap, but this is really good.

  • no fan of boys to men but i must say...very nice job fellas'

  • i love this song. my name is sara, and i gave a cd full of love songs to my bf for valentine's day with this song on it. he really loved it :)

  • Still the best group ever to come together!

  • @isabellissimo - THE BEST!

  • this is AWESOME!!

  • love it.

  • Alot of scales but where is the STANK?

  • This was a very good recreation of this song, very good!

  • agreed. Of the all the people who remade this classic the best i heard so far has been Brain McKnight. And this is coming from a big Boyz II Men fan.

    BoyZ II men still did an outstanding job in recreating but the oringal by H&O is the one.

  • I'm also a big B2M fan, and i totally agree with you. Brian Mcknight's remake is the best. Still love this one too. =D

  • I agree. Both of those guys have some pipes on them, but Daryll Hall is a vocal legend.

  • For those of you who love the song itself...you have to checkout Daryl Hall's website Daryl's House...Daryl and Smokey Robinson sing this song.....

    They killed it! That damn good!!

  • hi jackie :)

  • It must be a Philly thing Ha! a very nice rendition of this classic Hall & Oates song!!!

  • Hall & Oates version is best! because its original...but damn Boys 2 men does a wonderful job doing it! I give em props!

    wish a guy would dedicate this song to me lol my name is Sara so it would be sweet! lol

  • @HERMOSAROCKERA what a kick. I like brian mcknight version, but for me hands

    down it's hall n oates. when i was pregnant with my little girl my husbands band opened for them at alices in malibu, n they sang sara to me, and ask if I had a girl

    would I consider naming her sara. I love the song but at the time one of her 3 god-mothers name was sara... 2 said it was was unfair to name her sara, therefore.she has my 1st name given by my great-grand parents n all of their middle names.

    peace.

  • @HERMOSAROCKERA well This song is for u..... it's you and me forever, so sara smile........ lol

  • @wesley190 LOL AWWW <3 U ROCK~

  • @HERMOSAROCKERA i dedicate this song to you

  • @gunn1217  =) awww see now you guys made me feel special lol

  • @HERMOSAROCKERA lol...This ones dedicated to you Sara! From:Cotton!

  • @txviolet thanks cotton =D

  • i love this one the best. But the newerr jimmy wayne verson is sexy to lol

  • I like the way Boys II Men add a loving touch to this song called, "Sara Smile." I was pleased and not a bit surprised because they sing very well together.

    I came upon this song by accident. And,

    I am sure glad I did or I might have misssed out on hearing this tune!

    Thank you, Boys II Men.

  • Comment removed

  • I still think Hall and Oates version is the best... this one isn't EVEN close...

  • Comment removed

  • @collumjm you right though, nothing is better than the original version of any song. But they did they damn thing!!

  • This was a lovely rendition of this song!

  • love this song ...and not just cause my names sarah :)

  • Smile....

  • This is my favorite version of the song !!!

  • anybody got the remix to this boyz2men song???

  • anyone could sing this song and get a hit

  • I'm all about remakes & covers, cuz I enjoy listening 2 different versions & arrangements of songs. But U can't compare this 2 the original--The H & O version is sheer perfection. But I'm not hating on this version--it works. Then again, when UR working with 1 of the greatest songs ever written, any version/arrangement sounds great.

  • Tarantulisimo, have you heard the After 7 version? I think they did a great job. I know that some people prefer the original songs but I think that Boyz II Men and After 7 did this song justice. But that's just my opinion! Oh, and I like any song that has my name in it. ; )

  • u dam right man

  • They catch the tenderness of the lyrics.

    H&O - were memory makers.

  • H&O - boyz II men completely different, both version are fantasic in their own way.

    Personally, i prefer the song slower, like this, or brian mcknight.

  • I agree, different style of music all together... the one thing that remains are that the vocals to all versions are brilliant.

    This is my least favorite of the 3 you mentioned and i still like this one quite a bit.

    Im a 8o's cheese head, so i really like the HO version...of course, when im lookin for something a lil less, BIG HAIR, Brian McKnight kills this song...its brilliant!

    A country music artist just covered this song too and it sounds great. some tunes transcend genres.

  • The H&O version isn't gospel dude. It's soul.

  • This has a more gospel feel to it then the hall and oats version so you can't really compare.... but i prefer h&o :P

  • I just watched Live from Daryl's House with special guest Smokey Robinson.

    Both of them were saying how it's such a huge compliment to have someone cover your song.

    Daryl said once you've released it, it belongs to the world. Not to mention they do get royalties for every version and sample out there.

    I have to say I really enjoy the After 7version the most out all the different covers released.

  • I just heard both verions & I really listened to them both. For a person like myself who sings and plays an insrument...I must say that Boyz II Men outdid H&O. Sorry adorejunk :-(

  • adorejunk.. bitch yo just ma you can't sinq like dem!

  • this makes me happy to be named sara

    ~S~

  • @sanabria87 same here:)

  • It sounds way to polished for my taste, like they zapped not the emotion but clarity of raw feeling out of the song,

    Overall nicely done though.

  • Smooth.

    Comparisons to H&O are just plain stupid and bad minded. All you 'defenders' of H&O realize that covers are a COMPLIMENT right? duh

  • True, Hall And Oates Do It Best, The Rest Are Good But There Not...You Know...Charming?

  • can understand maybe agree a little with that

  • yea ur right

  • hottttttttttttttttttt remix

  • Boyz II Men do the best remakes ever! their the best no matter what anyone says!!

  • They did this sing nice

  • Boyz II Men, After 7, Brian McKnight all versions are okay......NOBODY DOES IT BETTER THAN HALL & OATES.

  • agree

  • Absolutely!

  • Amen!

  • @504ish  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEN!

  • @504ish I disagree...Monte Montgomery does it better!

  • boys 2 wacc ass men succ'd..... this is the best remake of this song..

  • i think daryl hall would be proud

  • no way

  • fuck. yall dont knoe chit........chizziiLLinnn...

  • It is spelled right. The original song was called "Sara Smile" ....without the 'h' on the end.

  • Comment removed

  • Ok, got it, sorry had only known the Hall & Oates spelling before saw this version. Peace!

  • Please spell it right! :)

    Thanks.

    Peace!

    Sarah

    Dayton

  • i sounds good but like the oringial better

  • i agree. for someone reason i always prefer originals.
