I played at that show (one of the instruments you see in the vid is mine) and the surprising thing was how dead on Brian Kennedy was. When he arrived he was carrying his own luggage and even made a point of saying "Alright fellas?" Sound as a pound
The other thing I remember was when the kid they originally wanted to light the torch thing very nearly got seriously burned during the rehearsal... He was ok though
BTW the crowd you hear singing was on Kennedy's backing track, not the athletes
very beautiful song and the people that particapate are beautiful people to . kennedy has very good voice and does a beautiful job.
does my heart good to c all join in with the song, every one needs to see this and a special olympic event maybe then so many people wont be so cold and cruel, and for once not think of them selves ...
The crowd sings so well! Their smiling faces are so good to look at. They are special people and who can discount their worth because of low IQ. They bring special joy to others. In a way, so sad...but a happy complete video. Bravo, Brian Kennedy for coming to special olympics.
Thank you philillipdjohn, some people dont think before knowing the true meaning of this song, I love Josh Groban version too, but I was referring to the word's that were changed.

Personally, I like the Josh Groban version better, I can sing in Groban's range, so I might be biased, but I feel as if this version sounds a bit like Kermit the Frog... Just my opinion.

Fuck off, I'm quadraplegic and I say being able bodied has clouded your judgement. Many of my friends were at this concert and they think Josh groban is a cocky arriviste.
First time I heard him sing You Raise Me Up was on the funeral from George Best, the footballplayer that died last year. Wow ! What a song ! Goosebumps.
so many with disabilities... never thought that in one place can exist so many...

In terms of vocal range, Kennedy beats Groban. But I wouldn't knock either of them. Both absolutely pro.

I know he was, but I just enjoy Groban's version better.

Did I say I prefured him better than Josh Groban, I was just saying who did that first.
The word's were changed when David Foster bought it off them.
The original word's were ment for the Special Olypic's & their achievement's in the sport's they are doing, My daughter being one of them.
