  • @janetman1 Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, so so so much for posting this! I've been looking for this rendition for a couple years now & could never find it. Please keep posting awesome performances like this treasure, which is rare & hard to find.

  • YASSSSSSS!!!! She SANG that....dam that was good.

  • Jill, oh Jill.... sing to me lady!!

  • WoWOW.. WOW

  • WOW... WOW

  • Beautiful performance. Very classy...love Jill

  • ***AMAZING SINGER*** She IS music!!!!

  • Jill was channeling some of the great classic singers from times past on this one. It has that night club in Harlem back in the 1920's type feel!

  • LAWD JESUS THIS GAVE ME HELLA CHILLS !!

  • Sing Jill!!! Beautiful!!!

  • Epic...hauntingly beautiful...pure, REAL artistic expression.

  • Jill is TRULY BLESSED and the way she carries herself is so awesome. Man o man...............

  • WHOOOOOA How amazing Jill just keeps on giving and the Strings just raise the vibe along with her vocals. I love this!!!!

  • @realdeal1ization ...my thoughts exactly!

    Jill Scott anchors this in deep....pure art!

  • PASSIONATE SOUL: Beautiful woman, Beautiful vocal instrument that God created,

    Beautiful lyrics, amazing accompaniment!

  • WOW.....!

  • Pure and utter Bliss!

  • Jill is something else. I noticed Patti Labelle towards the end like, "sang girl".....lol.

  • i cry EVERYtime i watch this(& im not the crying type) #SHE IS A TRUE GODDESS. So SOUL-FULL :)

  • So. Much. SOUL. <3

  • Breatheless

  • "She is one of the best"!

  • Nice!!!! Really Nice

  • Beautifuly beautiful.

  • ONE WORD: SPEECHLESS!!!!!!!! WOW

  • one of a kind!

  • My goodness! What a performance

  • phenomenal!

  • Jill is one of the few artist I prefer to sing live. I think this song exemplifies why! Her performance makes me want to shout and hit someone! Anyone notice homegirl was feelin' the groove at 2:06 and goes in on the violin at 3:00?

  • Even Patti had to give props!!!!

  • Man she SANG that...chills down my back for sure....just like the person said before...WOW

  • My God...she is a pure musical Genius! Was so lost in her words, face, actions, voice..I forgot to breathe. Absolutely great performance!

  • OMG>>>this is amazingly performed..the strings...sent me over the edge and she worked it!!! POWERFUL...

  • who in the hell disliked this!!??  o_O

  • all i have to say is wow wow wow wow wow

  • liryc voice.

  • Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!! Simply beautiful! I felt as if she was singing from experiencing that love...God bless you Jill Scott!!!!!!!!!!

  • My face was all scrunched up when she was done.. In a GREAT way. You know the music and lyrics are good when you make the ugliest face & chills are forming all over your body! Whewww!

  • This is a bad gurl! You go Ms. Jill

  • the is rare she good but after the real thing tour i never heard her sing this way any more its like she just singing nothin extra. i seen her on the light of the sun tour and she only sung this song like this and that was at the end of the show

  • When it gets that good, I just call it foolishness. It don't make right sense.

  • Love this. She almost sent me in prayer at the end. It was like that!!!

  • Wow!!!! That was Jill at her best...Thanks for the posting. The hairs on the back of my neck at still standing on ends

  • Honey vocals...smooth, sweet, yet strong!

  • Saw her do this version live at the Tower Theatre in Philly..and all I could do when she was done..was...stand up and clap as loud as I could..(mouth agape) Phenomenal woman, Indeed!

  • @MultiplicityMe2 When was the show?

  • @evilzlatan A few years back...at the Tower.... Loved her Operatic take on it... Powerful.

  • damn right, standing ovation. 

  • Jill, honey, you absolutely MURDERED this song in the best way possible.

    Unfortunately I want to ABSOLUTELY COMMEND THE WONDERFUL STUDENTS WHO ARE PLAYING AMAZINGLY IN THE BACKGROUND!!!!

    It seems like people have forgotten that they are there, and that they were playing their souls that night. They're probably high school students and younger, and still they're performance was breathtaking. From one music loving student to the next, they're performance was truly inspirational <3

  • She is so awesome

    

  • just beautiful!! OMG She really knows how to sing!! This moved me

  • Sing!

  • her range is astonishing she takes u on a rollercoaster ride that u never wanna get off.Just gets betta and betta

  • I was inspired to write after this. Music inspires me and i haven't been inspired in a long time. She smashed it.

  • Jill is the REAL deal....TRUTH!!

  • This moved me.

  • loved it

  • Speechless! Can only wave my hands, tap my feet & shake my head.

  • DAMN, THE CHILLS DOMN MY BACK! THIS PERFORMANCE HAD ME ACTIN A FOOL LIKE I WAS AT HER CONCERT! DMAN I LOVE THIS WOMAN!

  • By Far... The best performance of Jill.... This IS what music is supposed to do... its supposed to make you feel free and do whatever with your expression... you don't need all of the materialistic things to convey an emotion through music.... <3 I love Jill.

  • Beautiful!

  • is there a download of this? like seriously because I really want to burn this to a CD and listen to it ALLLLLL time.

  • Oh Jill u inspire me to be the woman.

  • LOVIN' THE STRINGS! THIS IS MUSIC AT ITS' BEST! Clearly Lyzel messed up. Just listening to this song. Jill was sooo deeply in love with him. I pray that Jill finds a man that is worthy of her love.

  • Jill Scott, if you EVER use autotune, I'm laying down in front of a speeding train!

  • @BermudaEntrepreneur ...LOOOOL!! I HEAR THAT!!!

  • That's what I cal MUSIC!!!! Damn! this woman is sooo gifted.

  • Just amazing

  • The metaphorical chello is a little annoying but, my god the literal voice is sensational!

  • There are singers and then there are the ARTISTS, who have the ability to make us feel every emotion of any song that they sing. Those singers, we all know who they are and that is all most will ever be. They will never rise to greatest of Jill Scott and others like her... They are the ARTISTS the rest are just play .

  • @chlofene SOOOOOO TRUE...DONNY HATHAWAY IS ONE OF THOSE ARTIST TOO

  • BEAUTIFUL!

  • Just makes me wanna go out and take a walk and enjoy the beauty of creation. Thank you Jesus and Thank you Jill.

  • JILL SCOTT IS SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!! I watched the Beyonce rendition and had the urge to come to this song obviously! I love Jill Scott, nothing stopping her!!! I'm in love!

  • WOW!!!!!!!!!!

  • Killt it!

  • Others were propped up around the time she came out. She wasn't on The Roots song, the part she wrote! Cut the crap! Stop hiding Jill Scott. Image consumers are missing out. She's beautiful and talented. She's amazing!!

  • boringgggggggggggggg, shes trying to hard for a delicate song

  • @helltotheyeah18 I guess you are that one def weirdo who disliked this vid. go clean your ears !!!

  • @icecreemz ha straight up or like some people wuld say that person was smokin somethin and had there lap topp side down, lol cause how can u dislike anything of jill scotts lol

  • Some of the liveshows vocals i've seen dont quite deliver as the albums do but this one was just phew.. Exquisite! Best performance I've seen from her, so free and full of emotion.

  • oh lady Jill the way that you do the thing that you do ...makes me go crazy

    i love u x

  • I really this the way she sings this song. You can really see that she feels every word. Jill songs from her soul.

  • I am so in love with the stories that Jill sings about;that's a badd chick

  • O GODDDDDD!!!! I felt it right im my stomach and soul at 3:12 ,jus.....AH!a wake-up call.love love lovee <3 :3

  • Absolutely priceless..

  • I absolutely love this performance. I watch every chance I get. Thanks for the upload!

  • Thanks for uploading!! Very true a gem of a performance by Lady Jill!!

  • Sick!

  • Wow! So many special moments, such an exciting & exhilarating, fresh artist. I recall Ella, Sarah, Nancy, and Leontine. Superb!

  • Continued.......There's some many others I feel the same way about in their own right but; Jill Scott is one of those rare talents that come along like a Prince, Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Minster Thomas Anthony Whitfield, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, and many others that I cant name. They just make you sit back in amazement, speechless of words & some times cause you to be drawn to tears. Much & Mad Love Ms. Jill Scott

  • Continued.......Not only is she one of the most B-E-A-U-TIFUL ladies in the industry. Her ability to deliver a performance such as this & many others is paralleled to none. Now does that mean anyone else in the industry isn't on her level, does that mean that they can't sing as well as her? NO IT DOESN'T!!!!!!!!!! All that means is that I'm just some what partial to her.

  • Let me just say this as I watch this once again as I comment on this Wonderful, Extraordinarily, Outstanding, Most Glorious Lady Ms Jill Scott whom I feel is talented beyond our understanding & to a degree that can't be match be none. Not only is she one of the most B-E-A-U-TIFUL ladies in the industry. Her ability to deliver a performance such as this & many others is paralleled to none. Continued.........

  • SIMPLY AMAZING!!! 

  • i no this sum geeky shit but i always picture myself n the front row wit patti lol i love jill scott so much one of my fav singers.

  • Can I get Jill's vocal, styles, range and breath control ?? My life would be almost complete.

  • yes!

  • i say did jill sang or did she sang?!!?

  • @freshymcFat she fkn killed it...

  • Something I thought about while watching this AMAZING video was my favorite artists. Beyonce & Mariah Carey to me are great commercial singers. Commercial like everybody knows their name. Everything is organized and well rehearsed before their performance, So rehearsed it isn't natural. It isn't as natural as a performance from Jill Scott, Mary J. Blige, Fantasia, etc. But they are all great singers.

  • @LasandraAdorn i agree which is why i dont understand why ppl bash beyonce all the time no1 can sa she cannot sing well she is just too polished sometimes unlike ppl like ledisi or chrissete michelle and the ppl u mentioned

  • @LasandraAdorn I feel you but I think Mariah has a very superior voice too. I think she could pull of a song even if she hadn't rehearsed it.

  • @LasandraAdorn  I absolutely agree with you!!!!!!!!!!!

  • straight up goosebumps through the whole song!

  • that was the dopest shit i've ever seen in my life..Jill u are the shit! these hoes cant touch you..

  • Honey now thats a performance! did you see the legendary Patti LaBelle just adoring Jill"s talent

  • jill leaves me speechless everytime!!!!

  • what she did her thing ,

  • Wow Jill did her thing as usual. I was also wowed by the kids playing the instruments!!! What talent!

  • Jill straight up murdered that song live, now THAT
