    This Song Is Beautiful :')

  • I don't know why but this song reminds me of the video Drawn to Life here on YouTube....

  • @SkrillNeonEx Draw With Me* Fail

  • different to westlife but big mark with the oul notes is far batter

  • Biig fan @DMic_Best

  • BACK WHEN American Idol WAS GOOD!!

  • Actualy, compared to Westlife I figure that the dude destroyed probably the best song ever written since the invention of the english language!

    Can't understand why Simon Colwell as manager of Westlife agreed to their song being massacred...yeach!!!!!!!

  • @croquecoco wow dude wheres ur ears at? Ruben did this song nicely.

  • I sang the fuck outta this...loud and wrong. lol

  • i cried listening to this song

  • i agree this song was made for ruben!! westlife is amazing in their own way but this song needed some soul

  • Ruben this song was made for you, No one sings it better than you dear, I have heard the other one, but dear this is your song, You have the voice for it. Good Luck and keep going.

  • this version absolutely murdered the song, westlife's original version is way better. he has a good voice tho

  • The 6 thumbs downs were all Clay Aiken fans.

  • YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY 10/25/11! i just visited this song the first time! THE EXACT DATE TOOOOOO!

  • :) love this song

  • This is a great song! I can't believe somebody would dislike this. Very touching song after all these years. It never gets old!

  • He has a killer voice. Not sure why he isnt bigger than he is. Fame wise that is ;)

  • I Love this song o muh its so heartful

  • is this a love song?

  • This is an absolute Masterpiece. Beautiful

    

  • Have to say this version is good to but Westlife's is better

  • i love ta hear my bear sing boy sighhh!

  • lovely song!

  • Ruebens version is better than westlifes. Westlife's version was good too.

  • it's nice, but for me, nothing can beat the Westlife version.

  • this song makes me think of my mom rip mom

  • RUBEN I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU AND HOPE TO HEAR SOME MORE SONGS SOON! <3 I STILL GET THE CHILLS KNOWING YOU WON. COME BACK RUBEN! EVERYONE LIKE THIS IF YOU THINK RUBEN STUDDARD SHOULD START HIS SINGING CAREER AGAIN<3:))))

  • @cassy1200 i got the chills 2

  • @cassy1200 I don't think Ruben has quit! Probably in the studio right now! let's keep him in prayer. Divorce is hard!!!!

  • @cassy1200 MY CAPS LOCK IS ON AND FOREVER IRREVERSIBLE

  • wow i love this song, makes sense.

  • I believe why ppl think Ruben's version sounds better because he is the only one singing it. With Westlife, there are more than 3 singers. So I guess Ruben does win the battle.

  • wtf why is the views so low this song is a classic

  • I love Westlife but Ruben made this song fly!

  • i love Ruben Studdard 1 of my most favorite all time song from american idol i love this song and Ruben Studdard forever

  • Love This Song It Has So Much Meaning And I Just Love Ruben Studdard. Hes So Sexy :)

  • American Idol is not know for good singer BUT GREAT singers. Kelly was so much like a black woman, she had sooooooooooo much soul and ruben folllowed. AMAZING!!!!!!!!

  • What utter JOY I get from watching this. So Gospel sounding just like Kellys a moment like this. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

  • whatz da name of the song he's singing in the beginning?

  • I Love Ruben!

  • luv u Ruben

  • Comment removed

  • this song is simply the truth might be one of the best R&B artists out there right now

  • I added this to my playlist. I love it ! What I like about your songs, Ruben, is people can relate to them ! They are uplifting and real ! Thank you !

  • I still love his dimples. :)

  • Yes Ruben!!

  • I LOVE U RUBEN STUDDARD...EVEN STILL TODAY IN 2011......SINCERELY SHAWNTALE M.

  • chills chills!!!

  • at the time when Ruben won the AI I was undergoing several testing to find out if I might have a cancer..And I remember thinking that if I could get one wish, hear one singer sing to me and just to me, that would pick Ruben ..I like many other AI winners but no one came even close to you Ruben! I am still crazy about you!!!!

  • Oh my goodness sakes, I love this song!! Memories oh what good memories of American idol in 2003, and Reuben Studdard! :) Thank you for this video.

  • I just fell in love with this guy!

  • Forget about that weak White boy version of this.. Ruben rocks on this song better than Westlife ever could. I'm white and I can say that. Love you Ruben! Be my big old Teddy Bear! : )

  • I love this song but what happened he never came back

  • Horrible version. It wasn't Ruben's fault, tho. Simon Cowell is the one who chose this song for him. #Westlife.

  • @bboi222 i think its a version but it seems like you westlifes one better

  • Rubben Studdard version is like the best version !

  • This version is the best , it's got vibes, style, just hearing it touches your heart and makes you want to sing along. It gives inspiration. I love Ruben's version the best. I like west life but Ruben outdone with his version to their song. I love you Ruben !!!!

  • why is the mormon guy always on

  • still my velvet teddy bear...

  • This is beautiful

  • hes such a cute bear <3

  • thats my friend the little girl in the green shirt and blue jean skirt running with the kyte

  • I swear this song makes me CRY.

  • I jus decided, my bridesmaids are gonna walk down the aisle to this song :) This song is perfect....:D

  • Alabama representing!lol! I was SO proud to have an Alabmian win Idol! Though the show sucks butt now!lol!

  • reminds me of my ex boyfriend... :'(

  • Every time I listen 2 this song I cry

  • i dedicate this to our future

  • Lol @ ppl trash talking about westlife, woot hiphop style music sells? Video here has it's better points, still not equal to 5 voices that have synergy :)

    Regardless I'd say the song is awesome and everyone probably agrees. So no hate both are good versions.

    @Africanstyle22 don't insult if they don't sound the way you want it. If they were to sing it in today with the same style as Ruben Studdard, it'd be even better.

  • Just heard the Westlife version and they suck. Ruben your version touches my soul. They failed to do that. I am a man, but this song makes me cry and makes me remember the good old days. I miss those days. Thanks to you, now im remembering it. Thank You!

  • What is up with the views? Dx This needs more views!!!!!

  • @allokay2121 It's about racism bro. No matter how great a black singer is unless they're being a freak like Nicki or Rhiana whites wont support them. Whites feel threatened by talented folks when they aint white. Some whites learned to sing like blacks so white folks no longer need to listen to blacks to get that great soul sound. Heard the white boy version of this song snd it aint half as good but white folks will support them over dark skin anytime. Way it is bro.

  • @Brownguylikesgirls That's a pretty racist assumption man. I have a bunch of white friends who enjoy good old Motown and black artists.....your assumption is unsupported by any evidence, I do feel sorry for you if all the whites you know have led you to this assumption.

    I'm not saying that some people aren't racist like that, but don't just generalize so many people like that.

  • @Brownguylikesgirls thats true

  • @Brownguylikesgirls That's completely wrong and offensive, half of my favorite artists are black, that is the most incorrect statement I've heard in my life. I'm white, and Ruben is my favorite artist.

  • @Brownguylikesgirls You sure right about that. Its sooo sad!

  • Comment removed

  • some people when they WIN they make you feel like you WON too this is what Ruben does!!

  • i love his dimples there are so cute and i totally love this song it is very touching

  • RUBEN..I LOVE U MAN..THIS IS VERY INSPIRATIONAL

  • i love u ruben even for the down folt love all ways

  • Westlife's original song : watch?v=G1LEISP6e9c

    Listen to the song and compare, Studdard put so much emotions and thats very nice, but westlife emphasize more some parts of the song and make it more dramatical and perfect. I like Westlife version more because the vocals change according the lyrics and the melody of the song :). Please listen to it,to the song, the video is very commercial,because that song was released in 1999,when boybands were very popular so the video is according to it.

  • Ruben sangs this equally as good as Westlife. God bless u all

  • @MJwifeyLuv Yes Westlife is good. But Reuben sings it from the HEART!

  • OH boy! God Blessed his children with AMAZING voices. When you use your talents for the work of the lord life is so much easier. Always keep God first in your life

  • I love his voice. :)

  • westlife's version is 10 million times better. this version sucks, but ruben isn't a bad singer either

  • listening to this song reminds me of cassi <3

  • @TheManny12304 aw <3

  • this song was very memorable, one of my favorites in life. West life also sang this song. I loved both versions.

  • @ThunderHenshin32 This song is a Westlife original, it was written for them and more suited for them (most particularly Shane and Mark). The original version sounds a lot better, this version has a bit of R & B feel. Brian McFadden's and Delta Goodrem's version? Hmph, no comments...

  • @Tanat83 thanks for sharing, i did know westlife were the original singers, since i heard the song from them first and also my favorite since then, that was 11 years ago.. which happened to be their first album. if i'm not mistaken. I was surprised when i heard this new version (Rubben Studdard's). I was referring to West Life &  Rubben Studdard's version. which i loved them both in my oppinion.

  • @ThunderHenshin32 Yep Rubben's version is quite good too. I was aware of him singing this during the American Idol Season 2 Finals. Im also a big fan of Westlife since the very start, bought nearly all their albums from 2000 til now.

  • Americas teddy bear:)

  • I dedicate this song to my mommy

  • AWWWW I LOVE MY BOYFRIEND THIS SONG MAKES ME THINK OF YOU!!!!

  • This song Perfectly describes my life ♥

    Beautiful:)

  • This song Perfectly describes my life ♥

  • This is the kind of song that makes you cry!

  • Every time I hear this song I think of my two beautiful girls that God has graced me with. I LOVE YOU!

  • this is such a beautiful song!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • so much for an AI winner..

  • @1AngelSolo He decided not to go "big". He chose the path to sing gospel n church religiously so the superstardom is not great in that area of music. That's why.

  • I don't mean any disrespect to Ruben because I enjoy his version of this song, but when this came out it really made it hard for Westlife (the original singers) to make it big in America (they were huge in the UK and other places). They were planning on bringing this song to America & then Ruben chose it when he won AI. I think it had to do with the fact that Simon Cowell worked with Westlife before AI. Give their version a listen. Type Westlife "Flying Without Wings" in search box.

  • @ZacHansonRhythm I totally agree with you. I love love love westlife and I wish that they would break in to the US market

  • @ZacHansonRhythm i just looked at the westlife version that you pointed out....i must say they are a great group, and there version is a lot smoother nd idk how to explain, to make a long story short, im glad you pointed out tht group. there really great =]

  • @ZacHansonRhythm Wow--I like Westlife!! I don't know which one like better! The original version is so beautiful. Thank you. I like both versions so much. :)

  • @ZacHansonRhythm I listened to both versions and my preference is Ruben's more soulful rendition. Not saying that Westlife's isn't good but Ruben's voice literally gave me goosebumps. If Trisha Yearwood and Leeann Rimes can release the same song at the same time and have huge hits with it, why not Ruben and Westlife? Wish both Westlife and Ruben the best of luck.

  • @PonderBetty lol im american but westlifes is better, by far !

  • @souljaboi2012 I heard that I feel like I was about to let love slip from my hands until I read your comment!!!

  • i love this song, iremember on my lowest days i would just spin aroud in my room dancing and singing this song. i was about 11 or 12 when ruben won american idol, and your songs still stand strong in my heart. thank you and congratulaions... i voted for you like 10 times..

  • This song gives me chills. I live In Birmingham, Alabama. I was 11 going on 12 he won American Idol. Haa...nostalgia.

  • Ruben and Fantasia are my 2 favorite Idol winners. Have you guys checked out Fantasia's new CD, "Back to Me" on iTunes! Ms. American Idol has done it again with this one guys!

  • This song makes me simply enjoy life ... Thanks big Ru - I love you brotha ...

  • Ruben! Flying without wings will cause you to plummet towards earth at a terminal velocity of around 176 feet per second. I don't think you will survive. On the other hand, if you mean "flying" by means of a "green leafy substance", then I fully understand dude.

  • Goosebumps. I like how he put his emotions in it.

  • This song has me tearing up.

  • I love it.

  • Luke 11

    17Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: "Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall. 18If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebub. 19Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. 20But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.

  • When I was 4 years old my mom would always put this song on in the car and she would smile a little brighter everytime I sang it.

  • Those so much Talent in Birmingham Alabama, Thats my hometown...
