this was michael't most loving song he wrote, that's why jermaine was singing it too at michael's memorial service and it was verry tough for him to sing it b/c it made him cry, but he did it! donna summer did the song too and it was verry beautifull to hear and see it. i'm a fan from michael for almost 30 years and i love all his music, just like the discomusic. that was the periode when i grew up.
@minoeke7 Chaplin's movie, Modern Times, was from the 1930's, way before MJ recorded it in 1995. I love MJ's version, but he in no way wrote the lyrics. I found this tidbit of information aslo: Chaplin composed the music, while John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons added the lyrics and title in 1954.
This is like "Melody of Love" all over again, for me. After listening to her, for 30+ years and thinking, she was 'good', Melody of Love was a revelation! Her performance of that song showed me that she was EPIC! It was THE first time I noticed her Operatic qualities (which she’s displaying right here with “Smile”)! One of THE MOST naturally gifted and UNDERATED performers of the last 30 years! Amazing!
Funny how WE in America won't see a performance like this on network tv. The loss is ours because Donna Summer's sultry & powerful voice is overlooked. Can anyone honestly sing ONE Beyonce song from start to finish? Just one? Of course not. Played today - forgotten tomorrow. Ms. Summer is a classic! Savor her voice while she is still around belting songs like this outta the park!
@GLMuralist Your comments are spot on ! Hopefully the loss of MJ will set something off, and people will realize that we need to treasure, and support a talent like Donna, while we still have her.
@GLMuralist You are so right!! People like Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Katy Perry, and Janelle Monae will come and go, but a LEGEND like Donna Summer will be with us forever; even long after she's gone, just like Michael..long live the life and legacy of Michael Jackson; he was the GREATEST!!!!
The DIVA does a great job again. That was very classy of her to dedicate Michael's favorite song to him. Bless her and Michael Jackson. Donna's voice is still in order at 60 years young.
Michael loved this song...It's very very difficoult to smile now that he's gone...his smiles were ours...I will love you forever Michael...thank you Donna,you're amazing!
a beautifully moving tribute to an unforgettable icon from another equally as unforgettable. thank you, Donna. keep giving us joy and hope with your music just like Michael WILL even in death.
Magic moment in time. Moving and heart-breaking. A living legend paying tribute to a super Star now singing to the Angels in a better world. What a Lady: Donna should be immortal!
I was at this concert...it was amazing. Donna looked fabulous, her voice was as AMAZING as ever, and the atmosphere was electric. It was gorgeous to see a packed venue, and everyone (well nearly everyone) were on their feet....dancing the night away. A FABULOUS NIGHT...DONNA IS AN ICON...the audience gave her love....xxxxx Thanks Donna.xxxxx
Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! Rest in peace, Michael. And thank you Donna for a glorious rendition of Michael Jackson's favorite song. What a voice. Wow! O.k. No more crying in Paris or over his daughter of the same name. I'm gonna 'Smile' in all their honor! :-)
irritating crowd in the beginning, know when to stfu.
