  • Not better than Irene Cara, but it's still very good. Naturi Naughton has always been a great singer

  • very good

  • heck no this is not better then irene cara are you loco in the coco ...you must be related to this person..

  • DOnt you just hate those awkard time when youre singing in thea thatre and dont know someone is watching you... SOME ONE IS ALWAYS WATCHING YOU!!

  • i didnt kno she was in Fame

  • I Love This Song Along With The Singer~!

    This One Of The Best Movies I Have Ever Seen And This Was Deffinatly One Of My FAVORITE Parts! <3

  • didn't know she could sing this good...beautiful!

  • Not better than Irene Cara,to high pitched . . but well sung!!

  • Who is the original?

  • @SarafinaE irene cara!

  • Thumbs down because it's too high compared to the original. Don't speed up the video next time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • too high voice. i don't like

  • OMG, so beautiful !!!

  • Shame the film was shit

  • @tonyoutterside well thats your opinion!! most people think differently :P

  • She is really really good . My mom singss this song all the timee . When I saw the original Fame i fell in love with this song & learnd every single word . This made me really happy when I saw this , because its like the youth is giving created to the Originals & she did an excellent job of doin it .

  • she has a great voice and i think her high notes a very nice... and don´t submit bad opinions, when u don´t can be better singing :-))

  • Naturi don't feel in blue

  • i like the version of Irene Cara much more..young singers are always screaming .but it's not always good for the song.Irene sings with so much more heart,she sings it with the x-Factor.

  • the song is very beautiful

  • I definitely prefer Irena Cara's original version of this beautiful song. It's not just singing it's FEELING and she does it all. This girl here only sings and that's not enough. And her voice is too high and squeaky, altough I wouldn't say she can't sing, of course.

  • i cry during this part :)

  • I love this version and the Irene Cara version but this is definately my favourate... probably because this one is the first one I heard making it to me the original and I always prefer the original... love you Naturi... but how do you sing that high at the beginning? gawwdd :) xx

  • No offence she is good but I like Irene Cara because her voice is very different more natural. The song was written for Irene.

  • @davidcontractor I'm sorry but I disagree with you on that. I prefer Naturi's version.

  • lil kim!

  • She is not a bad singer but the real power of this song is that it builds. The lyrics are self examination of her own confidence to keep going. This version treats all aspects of it as if it is verses with out the 'touch" of the original. I know a lot of people will like it based on the movie release date but for me this performance lacks that emotional understanding. Put blandly, she start way to high in vocal range and so she runs out of places to go with it.

  • @LionlordEbonfire -.- Are you being serious?

  • @ChineseSugarSquare yeah I think he is. And he's totally right.

  • @LionlordEbonfire That is ridiculous. She sings beautifully, and to state that 'this performance lacks that emotional understanding', is absurd, and outrageously judgemental. She is brilliant, and I think that you could very well be jealous of her.

  • @LionlordEbonfire I completely agree my man

  • she picked it up way too high in the beginning...

    so by the time that she was going through the runs, the song loses its potency.

    it felt as if the song was too contrived, too rehearsed and processed, as if she was asking all of us to pick our jaws from the floor.

    sometimes, less is definitely more.

  • Shes AWESOME!!!!

    Just set the lyrics in the discription pleaseee ":(

    xxxxx

  • AMAZZING!

  • Good but I'm an 80's baby so I prefer Irene Cara version.

  • Wow! shes amazing!

  • better than the original! 

  • I love this version, listen to her sing it live it gives me chills!!!

  • She sings amazing =)

  • Better than Irene but to be honest it didn't really 'connect' with me. She was just raising her voice to sound great with the notes. Not a lot of emotional connection.

    I prefer someone who's emotion you can feel while singing it properly.

    I like Thia Megia's (from American Idol) version better because it feels like she was really showing emotion there regardless of what note she hits.

    Sorry for being too judgmental, its just that the lyrics of this song means a lot to me.

  • two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos

  • no comments..... my hands are still shaking!!! WOW

  • Wow you lot are TOO judgemental. I sing as well and i know how hard you have to train your voice to belt those notes and TRUST me i know what screaming and shouting is. THATS NOT IT.

    Well done girll, youre amazing <3 x

  • i have earache... sorry, Irene sings, she screams..

  • like this part but the rest of the move is not good :S

  • Beautifull :)

  • i like this performance :D

  • I thing You SHould Have a duet with charice pempengco ^^

  • what key is it in?

  • I disagree, I dont' think it's better than Irene Cara. This is version is high and beautiful but her voice sounded kinda like a chipmunk in some parts.

  • @popups46okay

    tu si que pareces una ardilla!

  • Love itt <3

  • She sounds good on most of it but at the end it gets a little shouty.  Not sure why they changed the key to it. It doesn't seem necessary. I like her voice though.

  • The thing that is missing here is that when Irene was singing it she was singing it to someone, this girls is just saying the words.

  • You can't tell me she didn't sing her ass off on this song....

  • Irene Cara is the only one who can do this song....Irene wrote it so it is her song. This is just a cheap imitation. Plus, Irene has a much richer voice. When this girl hits the high notes it sounds like a bag of fighting cats.

  • @dumbthings1970 ...yes you are right. its a cheap imitation...her voice is very IRRITATING!!!

  • i did a beat for this song chk it out /watch?v=5WihVvgHpOU

  • beautiful i think she sing better than ireana ccara cause irena soundss retartded and look retarded... Hehhee lolss lovee ihtt !!!

  • waouw... nothing else to say.

  • She looks like she belongs in a suburban setting - not the gritty real world that was the original version of the movie.

  • Best song ever!!!!

  • Best song ever!!!!

  • THIA MEGIA'S VERSION IS ONE OF THE BEST SONG I EVER HEARD IN THE WHOLE AMERICA.. try to hear it. , goosebumps!!

  • THIA MEGIA'S VERSION IS ONE OF THE BEST SONG I EVER HEARD IN THE WHOLE AMERICA.. try to hear it. , goosebumps!!

  • love it <3

    

  • love it <3

  • In an utter DISASTER of a remake, this scene was probably the only bright spot!

  • Eu poderia ficar o dia e a noite inteira ouvindo a voz dela (:

  • Better than irena cara!!

  • @ilovetruefaith Better than Irene Cara? You're kidding right? Her voice is so artificial, it has no soul.

  • @ilovetruefaith seriously its true...

    

  • still like Irene Cara's version better, but vocals are great.

  • que dulce!! :) 

  • Irene Cara's version is 1000000000 x better !

  • oh my GOD....who is she???? Great!

  • She Sang This!

  • damn this song touched my feelings

  • 46 people either hate the piano or are out there on their own.

  • Wonderful, i saw you in the movie Fame

  • i want to audition for this role in my class's showcase but i don't know how to play the piano :P

  • While this is obviously a great vocal, for me, no one will ever match Irene Cara's version. It's not just one of those cases where everybody seems to like the first version they ever heard of a song...Irene Cara's voice just seemed to have much more power, depth and emotion to me. But like I said, you certainly can't knock this version. While I may like the original better I heard many people "try" to sing this over the years and after Irene's this is still the next best.

  • @SteveAndrade623

    As someone who knows from first hand knowledge sing it sing with your heart.

    This song is one rare song but it is meant to be song with heart and soul.

    When you sing it remember to sing it the way it is written but make it your own.

    Don't hold yourself back don't stop doing what makes you happy.

    Dreams and hope make life worth living why limit yourself if you have the ability use it follow it.

    You never know where the road will lead you.

    TC from a friend.

  • Wow! She's got an amazing voice ! I saw her on Lottery Ticket didn't know she could sing (:

  • She sang that song so beautifully she's amazing

  • why is there an 'unlike' button anyway!?

  • For all the people who press the 'unlike' button. GO and let your ears squirt...

  • i love her voice. she can sing her behind off

  • the only thing good about that awful movie...was this girl... she has a beautiful voice.. she should be way more famous

  • i love this song

  • i remember when i first saw this at skool and every one was being sooo noisy not watcing it and i knew this song and when i herd it i started singing softy and me friend herd me and asked the teacher for everyone to be quiet and i sang to it hit all the notes and got the biggest apluas at the end i was soo happy thats wat basicly made me wan to start singing

  • Just in the movie and when someone knows the story is this song so sad. :(

  • Powerfull voice!! :) Loved.

  • I like the version of Irene Cara more. I find she has better voice. Naturi's voice is very high. But the song is wonderful!!!

  • Like it so much.

  • she are great singer!

  • I really like.. :)

  • prefer this all the way.

  • I prefer this one to irene's version but both still good :D

  • Sometimes I wonder where I've been...who I am... do I fit in. Make believing is hard alone... out here on my own....

  • her voice is too high for me

  • @br0ken thats not her something dont sound right i heard this gurl sing this in person on the movie and soundtrack this aint right and its on my ipod it dont sounfd the samme

  • I think that whether you prefer Naturi's or Irene's version is completely situational. They are two different situations in the movie, requiring two different types of performance, so while Irene and Naturi both did amazing jobs at this song, Naturi's version for me is very real and emotional, and Irene's version is just kinda plain, though that is not a bad thing, it is still absolutely amazing. I couldn't decide which was my favourite if you held a gun to my head.

  • ang galing nya noh!!!

  • ang gaaling nya noh!!!

  • I think Irene's version is better. :) But good job Naturi! I'm gonna make a cover of this song soon..;)

  • @mzaisyabieber I agree, you just can't beat the old fashioned way. But she did her thing and she did a decent job.

    ;)

  • Naturi did a great job. But Irene's version is still the best. She damn near made me cry when she sang this song!

  • Love this song.... connects and inspires me a lot to know that I can make it even on my own...c",)

  • WoW!!...Perfect keys, low and high...awesome job. Oh yeah, Thia brought me here too.

  • yes thia megia brought me here .... to hear and see for myself how other singers sings it, i beleive i like thia's version more it tells of my saddest thoughts...

  • yes thia megia brought me here ....

  • Like if Thia Megia brought you here :)

  • @archangelval whos that lol?

  • i like this version but i like the one better i heard on american idol season 10 by thia megia. both are splendid renditions anyway and this music is definetely a joy to listen to

  • Good job, but this song sounds much better in a lower key.

  • This song is so close to me there's no words to describe this feeling

  • yeah, Irene's performance is really believable. And her voice... I don't know if it's the video quality, but Naturi's voice seems thinner somehow. Sure, she can hit the notes, but that's not exactly sufficient.

  • She can belt it, but it lacks the emotion that Irene's performance gave it.

  • @twodoortwo : I totally agree! Irene FELT it down to her soul y'know? 

  • Naturi's version is one pitch higher..Irene's was warm and simple..but both are GREAT!!

  • Nice, but her voice lacks the warmth of Irene Cara's.

  • Comment removed

  • Make sure to search the Irene Cara version too here in youtube and be the judge..

  • she was on 3LW

  • The original was 100% better

  • Buenísima

  • Beautiful song :)

  • Wow she did a wonderful job and I adore Irene's version.

  • She did amazing like this better than the original I swear she has a more powerful voice.

  • ich liebe es :))

  • LOVE THIS SOOO MUCH, SHE IS SOO BEAUTIFUL

  • can someone send me the MP3 of this?

  • i love this song very much and love the movie too.

  • i got chills at 1:06!!!! She did Awesome

  • Very good :) I like both her version and Irene Cara's version. Other than this song and the newer finale song, I didn't like the other songs or the rest of the remake. The original movie I thought was way better. If only they took out some of the innapropriate parts and less cursing.

  • I've heard her on a couple random unreleased tracks posted on youtube, but never heard her blow like this. It's a shame she only sang on about 3songs on 3LWS debut album. I can't speak on the 2nd album cuz I didn't listen to it, but it's a shame she didn't get more shine. I wonder if she's really playing the piano here, cuz I didn't know she could play if she is. You betta sang Turi!! Great actress too.

  • my jaw drop........my good girl...ya can sing.....better than most of idol contestant...amazing

  • 30 people are in shock

  • WOW, she can sing??? They never let this girl sing in 3LW!! Unless, I missed a song of theirs where she is singing. Gosh, that's so sad.

  • Brividi...

  • Hard to imagine she also played the Queen Bitch aka Lil' Kim in Notorious hahahaha great version though!!!

  • sie hat eine sehr gefühlvolle stimme und sieht gut aus

  • I MEAN COME ON! She sang it even BETTER THAN IRENE CARA! Her Voice is AMazing!

  • so this is the musical progress in 2010? It's kinda bit overdone compared to the raw, heartfelt and virtuoso performance of Ms. Cara in 1980. Naturi Naughton is a great singer no doubt, but this was Irene Cara's great moment that has captured us for decades. It's really kinda hard making the lightning strike twice especially if you're just gonna sing it higher and wavier. But I'll still give this a thumbs up.

  • where can you download this number?

    free download.

  • chills

  • Me encanta.

  • i love this song to sing

  • only two words : WONDERFUL SONG !

  • lovely<3

  • I song this song for the graduating class of 2011 @ Verbena high school. I changed the words to acknowledge them instead of saying baby belong to me I said hold your head high you'll succeed. Very powerful song I must say! Naturi Naughton song this beautifully! :)

  • This is my first time hearing this version and honestly, it's not that bad. It just didn't want to make me play it on repeat like the original version did. Naturi has a beautiful voice, don't get me wrong,but I just don't think it is "better" than the original. A worthy cover though.

  • BAD WEAVE.

    -NOT A HATER

  • Well guys im a singer .. And thats a Talant + Good technique = Awesome !

  • I'm in love!!!!!!

  • she got talent !

  • Hey, can you watch me try this please? I'm using it as an audition into uni and I would love feedback before I go, thankyou <3

  • Wow!!! incredible!

  • Wow!!!

  • she has a great voice... seriusly.. i like it 

  • 26 people are out there on there own... its ok..

  • i brividi proprio!

  • OMG i love this girls voice she has an amazing voice, soo talented!!!

  • she left 3LW, im not suprised... she never even had any parts of the song lol she sounds the best out the other two, how crazy

  • awesome!

  • Sorry but naturi is sooooooo much better!!!!!! I like the original but LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!!!! The emotion is ridiculous ... Gooooosebumps!!!! Applause!!!

    As for that wonderwoman person who's been saying she's rubbish she needs to shut up and get real because this girl can sing full stop !! She's flipping awesome!!! She looks so young aswell.. Anyone know how old she is ?

  • she was the only good part of this movie honestly

  • 25 people are jealous because they can't sing like her
