  • One of her best preformances.....

  • Fantasia is amazin her voice is unbelieveble for who eva dnt like her or think she cnt sang u mite wanna check wit ya ear doc caz da gurl bad hands down ne thng she sings brings tears to my eyes... jus amazing tasia

  • Amazing....

  • The song just grooves & continues to build, finally...the musical orgasm happens at 2:04...the release & let down. Great musical awareness by Fantasia one of her greatest performances ever.

  • Was the "I love you" at the end part of the original song, or did she add that?

  • @insanecaine No it wasnt

  • hell, to hell with Elton crying....I cried, too. She has that a 'savoir faire' mixed with a lot of melisma, in her voice, and that combo is just about deadly...there arent many vocalist out here, dead or alive, who know how to 'get there', with wiggling the notes and emoting the way she does....but I get the feeling that she was born with it. Add some hard living, a lot of joy and a lot of pain, and you have a very rare singer in Fantasia...she's gonna be here for a very long time.

  • 0:15 Did it for me....I knew it was over by then

  • Ohhh lawd she make me cry when she sings this

  • the strings make me dyspneic.

  • This is a masterpiece, there will never be a cover as great as this. I also can't get over this performance. Locked on my favorites forever.

  • This is the Fantasia that won American Idol - at her very best.

    Love it every time

  • Ladies and Gentlemen the one and only fabulous Fantasia !

  • I totally agree!! Every time I find myself surfing you tube I always end up to this video. This song really got me through a hard break up wish she would record it!

  • She SANG the song.

  • This song, together with her rendition of 'Summertime' live on idol, are the two best soulful performances i've ever witnessed.

  • I think when Sir Elton wrote this song this is what he heard in his mind. Beautiful.

  • A great rendition of the song. It was perfect.

  • WOW !!!!!!!!!!

  • This performance gives me chills!!!! One of her best!!

  • wow,,,,she is an angel spreading her wings.....i love this woman for sure,,,,the best

  • FANTASTIC, I get goose bumps everytime I listen to my girl Ftantastic

  • I love her so much its crazy.....

  • This is what they call perfection. Beautiful from beginning to end.

  • I have been watching this video for years. I can feel it. Good job Fantasia!!!

  • With all due respect to Sir Elton, who I adore, this is the best version of this song I have ever heard. Wow!

  • I love my cousin and whoever don't like her can kiss her ass those of you supported my cousin She appreciates it.

  • She wrecked this song! Ain't nobody else can sing it anymore! FANTASTIC, I get goose bumps everytime I listen to this, so moving. The emotion she put into it, coupled with her vocal ability. I can't go on, I'm off to go leap off a bridge. That is all.

  • Yes Lord!!!!!!!!!

  • Now just imagine if she'd done this on AMERICAN IDOL! Man!

  • thi song makes you cry and fantasia has put some soul into it and you can feel it with all the heart ache and finally that it is really over : love you too fantasia

  • imma grown ass man but i wuz choked the fuq up. luh this girl

  • Simply beautiful

  • This is amazing the sad part is that I don't think people realize just how good she is...smh

  • Jennifer and Fantasia....different voices you EGG!..they both are very talented performers...you cant compare them!!

  • I would love to see her record a full version of this song. Simply beautiful.

  • That was beautiful.

  • Y ppl always gotta compare others and start personal beef among themselves...everybody different, hands down, so whats the big deal....really?

  • attention if your in arkansas on july 9 dont miss fantasia live in concert at the robinson center in Little Rock,AR cause gonna be phenomenal so dont miss out cause she puts on a good show

  • @lilseaxydee most don't want to admit that Fantasia can sing circles around Jennifer Hudson, but the truth is in the voice. Fantasia can sing her ass off. Her voice dominates Jennifer's

  • @cash986 Maybe cuz everyone has there own opinion/preference about singing.

  • Belissimo, brasileiros pelo amor de Deus vamos postar nossas opinioes essa garota canta muito.

  • everybody keep requesting fantasia new single "collard greens and cornbread" on your local radio station so we can get it at number one so far its at 13# so request a little harder please

  • dont miss fantasia live at the indig02 live in london

  • OMG u would expect her to go into over kill BUT she nailed this song. I LOVE HER

  • @grungboi That's what I love about Fantasia. She can be 'wild' in one performance and use the 'perfect restraint' in another. That's skill ;)

  • you name any song for her to sing, and i bet she will make you feel so so so damn good in side. i love you fantasia

  • it is an exquisite version. Congratulations Fantasia !

  • she sang this just right..where alot of singers would've over did it. This song expresses pain and sorrow>she nailed it

  • What is the name of this song

  • @zackory111 Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word

  • every note she sings has so much emotion - I can't get enough of fantasia

  • So I'm crying and sorry does seem to be the hardest word and I'll never get the chance to say it now.

  • yoo on the real tasia sings the ong better then half the artist she sings for u betta fucking work tasia i swear u go hard

  • He closed his eyes because just like the rest of us he was completely captivated as to how Fantasia took that song and sang it flawlessly... Perfect Performance.

  • GET INTO MY SOUL WHOEVER LISTEN TO FANTASIA AND DO NOT GET GOSE BUMP NEED TO CHECK THEMSELVES AGAIN

  • my inspiration gurl

  • Fantasia can sing so much better than Jennifer Hudson. I would love to see Fantasia do a duet with Jacob Lusk..that would be fire.

  • This song...and the way Fantasia sings it...it just really tugs at the heartstrings.

  • if she sung a song for meh i would be tee heeing 

  • @Tubber2010boi I would pass out if she sung to me

  • i think this performance deserved a standing ovation!

  • The best interpretation/performance of this song so far, I've never heard such passion and soul in a voice since whitney. It's incredible, when she sings, it's like the story that goes on the song really happen to her, she makes it so credible. She gives me goosebumps with every single song she sings, greeting from Portugal.

  • I texted this to my ex bf to see if we could kiss and make up. I love this song

  • how do you know she made him cry???

  • I only wish she sang it longer.

  • nothing else here needs to be said...she said it all

  • A diva in the making

  • I love this girl voice shes so beautiful

  • She puts all her soul into her music. It made me tingly inside

  • I wish this was longer.

  • @zdaflow -I agree she sings with such deep emotion. I watched this video more than a dozen times and it never gets old. I wish there were some way I could download this song to my ipod. I love it!!!!!!

  • Never grows old!

    

  • said i LOOAHAAOOVE U.

  • must've watched this a thousand times and it still moves me.

  • I've just listened to a future legend

    

  • GOOSEBUMPS...She really knows how to bring out the emotion in a song, not to mention her beautiful voice. This woman is amazing!!!

  • i love that girl

  • This young lady is one of the only ladies that can make me cry everytime she sings. God is blessing this one right here and His hands are all over her. I hope and pray that she goes back to her roots and does gospel music. I am sure that I am on of the many that will be there first in line to purchase that CD. Girl, sing like God told you to.

  • Jacob should have watched how is done, right here. Real emotion and raw power without overdoing it. Fantasia is spot on as always.

  • Really beautiful and terribly affecting. Great performance.

  • @Romeeki Haha Jacob don't got shit on tasia, FOR REAL! ;)

  • Jacob just sung this on American Idol.

  • dont miss fantasia tomorrow on american idol to debut her new single "collard greens and cornbread"

  • I think this version of this song is BETTER than Sir Elton's. It is amazingly presented and she didn't add all the runs that would have lost me. This ROCKED!!

  • FANTASIA IS RELEASING COLLARD GREENS AND CORN BREAD AS A SINGLE SUPPORT THE TRACK SHES PROFROMING IT ON AMERICAN IDOL MARCH 31 IF YOU WONT ANOTHER SINGLE REQUEST THIS SONG TO YOUR LOCAL RADIO STATION BUY IT ON ITUNES OR BUY THE CD OR DO BOTH SUPPORT FANTASIA

  • It's when song becomes a prayer...no matter what religion. Listen people.

  • I loved it!! Totally amazing

  • I definately would spend my hard earnt cheque on her CD's, she's worth every cent!

  • What the hell is wrong with 58 people?? This is breathtaking.

  • I read on a CNN message board someone saying that America got it wrong when she was voted winner on Idol! Please! She is simply the best in my eyes and heart.

  • @expoet lol but idiots like Lady GaGa are called 'talented' . . ..please

  • @sweet2def Tell me about it! She is sooooo underrated! Simon has said that Fantasia is his favorite idol because as a person she is real and genuine. He always loved her on the show it was so obvious.

  • @sweet2def u said it...lady gaga just using all her stupid antics to show how talented she "aint"!!! fantasia is a real vocalist from the heart...shes got soul...this girl got talent real talent!!!

  • seriosly this girl just leaves me without words she is so amazing damn!

  • underrated!

  • This is how you do a cover! If she had done this song as on idol, it would have become her signature song as Summertime.

  • tell it girl!! 1:39

  • I MUST SAY FANTASIA CAN SING BETTER THAN JENNIFER HUDSON

  • @lilseaxydee  they both can sing but fantasia have her own sound.

  • @lilseaxydee man yall is really trippin Jennifer HUDson Got mad skills so does tasia but Jenny aint worried she got and oscar grammy etc... the list goes on

  • @indakut OK SO THAT DONT MAKE YOU BETTER CAUSE YOU HAVE AWARDS ITS BASED ON TALENT NOT AWARDS 

  • @lilseaxydee My point is...Her beautiful voice was the one that got her to where she is now...Point Blank She is Talented! Anyway why are you comparing the two, that's so ignorant. Jennifer HUDson Got MAd Vocals Point Blank regardless of who else is out there...she can hold her own very well.

  • @indakut OK THATS COOL I LIKE BOTH BUT I LIKE FANTASIA BETTER

  • @lilseaxydee That's cool too. I happen to like both equally they both have an amazing life story and they both been through alot. So its hard for me to pick. Why do you think I was even watching Tasia, its because I like Her :-)

  • @indakut ok its good i see where you coming from

  • HE FELT THAT!!!

  • My favorite version of this song! Has been for a while now.

  • everybody please keep requesting her song "im doin me" on your local radio station cause its movin back up on the charts and buy her new album "back to me" so we can get it on gold

  • GET IT GIRL!!!!!!!!!!

  • A real artist, God given talent, I would love to hear more of her than any commercialised pop singers. I love listening to you Fantasia, your one of a kind.

  • I FUKN LOVE THIS BITCH RITE HER! SPECIALLY THIS JAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL IM DOING IS CRYN

  • Your the best !!! love you!!!

  • This girl betta sang!

  • congrats to tasia on her grammy win

  • OMG.... YES YES YES HUNTY!!!!

  • There should have been a warning that said DO NOT WATCH IF YOU DON'T WANT TO CRY!!! Damn Fanny you got me crying at work....Beautiful

  • Watch her sing Lady Marmalade to Patti Labelle. Every tribute Fantasia has done in front of the the original performer has blown me away. I just watched her sing to Stevie, Patti and now Elton. All are amazing.Even when she doesn't go full blown gospel singer its the most impressive/emotional singing of my life. I'm speaking of singers from my generation. Her live performances unfortunately differ from her albums.I think as she matures she will settle into her best singer alive role.

  • I didn't know the song was over lololol. She killed that song. Fantasia is a true singer!!

  • she can sang in spanish in still sound awesome

  • Download the audio from this video at speedyconversion doht cohm.

  • you cant even compare beyonce and fantasia they are not even in the same catergory ...beyonce is a performer not a singer..fantasia is a singer she can just stand there and not put runs on a song and you will be moved beyonce can not do that with out putting all that extra stuff on a song....

  • @jayonna65 i definitely agree. a more fair comparison would be Fantasia and Jennifer Hudson. they both sing... actually wait they SANG. Jennifer's new single Where You At has some fine sangin in it... you should definitely give it a listen. youtube.com/watch?v=o6SaotKTR_­g

  • she still sound good rather she is jumping, standing, or seating. Beyonce jump around to and wear short things and thats why b is popular she could never sing a song like this and get a standing o. I love them both but plain vocals its fantasia hands down. B is for looks and slut looks when i want to be a slut i put on video phone and buy short things so my booty and legs are showing.

  • @warrsmith... I'm sorry you feel that way. I don't want to discount your "opinion". As for me, most of my open doors (employment, education,spiritual,etc.) were as a result of kindness shown to me by Black people. Do note this is not to say that people that were not Black have not shown me kindness. So from my perspective, to say "most" Black people keep each other down is not true. Fortunately that has not/is not my reality. Nevertheless I appreciate you observation.

  • Fantasia is the only singer to my humble knowledge who is no respecter of persons; when she sings she quickly rises to a celestial zone until her singing is done totally unconcerned with the rest of us commons....that's flawless art.

  • fantasia '''' remind me ''so'' much of  the actor that die name (neil carter) r.i.p.

  • Fantasia needs to perform more like this in the future. She has an amazing voice. What I hate is when she tries to over perform and starts jumping all around the stage like a clown. She does not need to do that.

  • @lininja890 LOL....AAAYYYEEEEE US FANTASIA FANS LOVES WHEN SHE DOES THAT.......THAT WAS FUNNY THO

  • @lininja890 ...i agree with u.........she very talent...but , when she jumping around ''''''''thats just a lil to much...hehehehehe.......but'' i steal love fantasia.

  • @ warrensmith, just curious, what black people are you talking about? Please bring me up to speed. She is loved by all.

  • @fdlemons ...it is mostly black people put down on ther race.........most i here blacks people puttin down on fantasic...........u don't here many white people puttin down on ther race.........we black people don't stick together.

  • I LOVE THIS GIRL.....WE LIKE TO LOST ANOTHER TALENT BLACK ***STAR***......THANK ''GOD''... UR STEAL HERE.........YOU HAVE A BEAUIFUL VOICE THAT WILL MAKE A MAN CRY'''....I HOPE YOU KEEP UR HEAD UP AND DON'T LET JEALOUS BLACK PEOPLE HOLD YOU DOWN..........YOUR ONE OF THE BEST SINGER I SEEN IN A LONG TIME........I LOVE U FANTASIA .........WARREN SMITH , CHARLOTTE,N.C.

  • i love this song she did a great job with it

  • This girl got me teary eyed..

  • how can you dislike this video ??

  • Fantasia talented and beautiful you are. LOVE MUCH. 

  • Elton in your face....you said talent shows, idol and factor and such don't produce stars....you are clearly wrong.

  • i love this woman!!!.. She has so much pride and pain when she sings you hear that what makes her a great artist that most people can relate to!!..

  • I wish i could sing this song as well as she does, omg this makes me tear up so much.

  • shout out to FANTASIA, ZION, TERRI VAUGHN, TERRELL CARTER, CRYSTALE WILSON AND OTHERS FOR JUST RAPPING UP ON FANTASIA'S NEW SHORT FILM TITLED "RUBY'S CAFE" WHERE FANTASIA CO-PRODUCED AND PLAYS THE LEAD ROLE OF A CHURCH GIRL WHO FINDS HER VOICE AND WOMANHOOD IN A 1960'S JUMPIN JUKE JOINT... IF YOU RECENTLY SEEN FANTASIA ON THE BACK TO ME TOUR THEN YOU KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT....BUY HER CD!!!!!

  • Fantasia is one of a kind and can't be mocked. Her voice captures you emotionally and elevates you with her presences. I wish her much more success and hope she doesn't fade away as many in the music industry.

  • fantasia is the best singer in the music business.........check out rob50ful

  • luv this girl

  • when exactly does he cry i can't see it
