[telstarlite]

WOW....Now I know who Jill Scott is I am happy I found lots of information on here in youtube Awesome!!! I love her character in the NO.1 detective agency I didnt know how known she was in the entertainment world until Now...Thanks to her acting in the Botswana series it drew to want to know more about her ans eeing this dedication and her performance to none other than the ledgend himself Stevie Wonder drew me even closer to know who Jill Scott is thanks for the loadup.

[kmttaseti]

One of my favorite songs of all. And there are so many versions - both male and female: Stevie Wonder the original, Jackson 5, Rolling Stones, Brand New Heavies, Jill Scott, and Fantasia.

Stevie's is the best male version and Jill is the best female version. But the best version overall still remains Stevie's, even tho Jill smokes this version.

[almondy1963]

No. I like Jill, but she should have left the song alone. Michael performed that song at the age of 10 with more heart and soul than Jill did at whatever age she was during that performance. Should ave left it alone Jill!

[humannaturedj]

WHEW that ending was just the cherry on top. This is why I love Jill.

[sexyladyliyah10]

that was bet i dont knw wat be is now

[djefratlive]

i love you jill!! :)

[TheMRWRITETV]

Sang Jill!

[abSURDub]

[dancermamii32]

I love her singing this song

[KingMellow11]

Hell, I'd love her. 

[RichPics1WRS]

...wish there was a clean copy of THIS... jillie from phillie Rockin' it..

[Ncolur1]

If you want to know what REAL singing sounds like just listen to this performance. Been waiting for this to post. Jill you are one of the BEST talents of this generation.

[rmotherwell]

Good, but Stevie knocks this song out of the park on this one:

watch?v=1d48n4ESFgE

[grani08]

Jill's version of this cover is great. Fantasia's version is on FIRE!!!

[AngelWings0509]

OMG.... SHE BETTER SING THIS SONG... SHE HAS INSPIRED ME TO DO A COVER OF THIS SONG ;) PLEASE COME CHECK OUT MY VIDEOS ALL ;)

[BronxBob]

Now, that's how you perform a song!!! I feel like I just watched a feature film. Great Storytelling and strong Melody. She made me feel like she was singing to me.

[dansaghin1]

i give up all my cable tv stations for BET, the bast music there!

[happy30yrs]

Man... I wanna know who she's singing about... I don't know why. ha ha, love it!

[cgreen091]

Dats my muthafuckin baby nigga! She could sing the phone book on the toilet make it sound sound good. She straight shittin on them other rnb broads

[PinkDough]

@cgreen091 lmao yeeeeeees!!!! u betta say that! hahahahaah

[astroboirap]

she needs to lose weight :s so fat

[tweet01uk]

@astroboirap she has, this is old obviously

[fluidjazz]

@astroboirap fuck you

[cust0mEditi0n]

@astroboirap fat and sexxiii with a beautiful voice and your watching so i guess it doesnt matter ha ha

[PerignonPop]

@astroboirap You hear THAT voice and then comment on her weight? Laughable. Have a room full of people with tears in their eyes applauded anything you did lately?

That's a rhetorical question... Big up Jill Scott!

[loulabelle1988]

@astroboirap damn fool.......her wieght hasnt got nothing to do with her talent!

[vriend1]

great......

[revlooshin]

stevie's feelin' it at 2:45. so am i.

[MisterBolder]

Yes that's what i call singin

[msken118]

Very few singers can bring me to tears with their voices...but Jill is clearly one of them

[DEFinitivelyHis]

Go 'head, Jill! Deep emotion. You really can't have anyone without this kind of vocal and personal passion sing a song like this. That's why, honestly, I love Michael's more than anyone's.

Love the SNL clip beforehand...and pre-Oscar Jamie Foxx just bein' the clown that he is!

[sixplus6]

YES!!!!! YES!!!!!!........(I cried)

[madflavason]

Simply Beautiful! I love you too!

[albec11798]

Damn, Jill...This is STRONG!!!!

[ortiznyc]

Breand new heavies version is much better

[OneOfTheKidz]

@ortiznyc BRAND new heavies version effing sucked

[SIOHVAN]

Well this performance clearly defines why I love jill....

[Jackson5iveCartoon]

Excellent!

[eruditesickle0216]

Damn did she record this???

[hiddenmgr]

love how she hits that note at 3:29

[sandykesi]

Omg Jill Killed it! When she walked away from the mic it was a wrap!!!!

[TheMosoul]

what year is this

[djmgm73]

wow Jill. Unreal. What an awesome interpretation.

[namkooc]

wow i nearly cried so emotional

[nikkied76]

chillin..I love how Jill puts her heart out there...

[steveconn]

Stones version the most passionate.

[rayeovlight]

love love love love loved it.

t

[evilnerdap]

damn!

[neaknmike08]

damnnnn <3

[ebbiesart]

Jill Scott gave it up!!! I love this song, and her version is awesome. And she made Stevie smile! That's what the most important.

[gervaisst]

This is the first time I've seen Jill Scott cover this classic song. Fantastic baby,

you made Stevie smile, and proud.. I salute you Jill for your performance and

Stevie for being the genius responsible for this haunting song.

[otg92]

luv the performance but jamie is sooo stupid

[irh1991]

check out the reggae version by Desi Young-BAD!

[AveryIam]

I felt this song when she sang it, but when she walked away 4:16 MAAAAAAAAAAAAN I was done LOL!!!!!!!!!

[RebelAllianceMedia]

lol

that's just crude.

lmao.

[honeegrrl]

The Brand New Heavies covers this song good too.

[Dr52Jenkins]

I heard the Jackson Five's rendition of this classic song and thought it was OK. Not as good as the original. However, I have to admit Jill is BAD!!!!!! Love her version, this lady can sing. Thanks for the posting

[NkrumahTure]

I say D-D-D-DAMN!

[SupaLicious]

Ok, this performance is just BEYOND RIDICULOUS. Just watch her sing this song. My. God!

If I could only choose one word to describe her personhood, it would be precious. She is so open to feeling, all the good and all the bad.

She allows herself to be wide open so that her heart can soar in the glory of it's love and sink to the lowest of its sadness. This is why I LOVE. HER! . She's feelin it and she aint afraid to show it

[themstar94]

@SupaLicious a bit over exaggerated ...

[vln1972]

i like it but im sorry when a man sings it i can relate better to it...lol-- yes ladies---some of u do cheat and treat men like crap to at times we dont always have to hear women complain about it...its nice to hear a man talk about feeling hurt also. and of course we have the BAFOON at the end talkin about how good Jill Scott looked in that dress...damn cant a brotha be serious for once?? damn! lmaooo

[Spankeedoodle]

this song speaks volumes!!!i have no words to describe the brilliance of it..regardless of who sings it

[persistant1919]

Thank you soooo much for posting this video.  The first time i saw this, i must have cried. It combined 2 of my favorite soulful artists.

[Etusf]

listen.....I've played this.....8 times already...I felt this damn song. I love jill Scott....smh i can't even....

[lese627]

I've been looking for this for a while. I watched when she originally sang it and that's what actually got me hooked on the song; I'd never heard it before that! Which was crazy, 'cause I thought I knew every Stevie song, Thanks for posting.

[antiann52]

Jill I have to give it to you, girl. That was good. You pulled it off.

[Dragonrdh]

Made me cry, oh man!!

[antiann52]

Yeah, it got to me too, WOOO, that was alright.

[autsim]

Jill Scott was goin' THROUGH on this song. She went all the way in... gone Jill!

[enus1]

always treats me like a fool, kick me when im down. thats your rule

[girlzrock90]

This is a song i wish could go on a lil bit longer. I absolutely love it!

[scarolina00]

pokeybrown, I concur, Jill "went in" on this one! She always puts on a great show...

[pokeybrown]

Maxwell did Rocket Love on this same show and was just as good.

[pokeybrown]

Jilly from Philly went in!

[heroshima853]

I got goosebumps!!! Sing Jill!

[antiann52]

Me too, I felt it. Got chill bumps on my arms now. You go Girl!

[VisionPoet]

Mike's version is the best cover, but this gave me chills. Jill goes IN!!!

[KahMan3]

she killed it!...that british band wasnt too bad either.

[Toepazz1]

HOT DAMN !!!!!

THA BOMB !!!!!

[shantbe]

that is good but michael jackson's version will always be my favorite.  It just has a special place in my heart. I will always remember my mother playing it after we got out of church when I was little.

[ddesign63]

Wanna' hear Anthony Hamilton do this. That would be the SH!#!!!!!!!

PEACE

[TheSC323]

seeing her performing it was actually my introduction to the song!!!!

gotta love Jill man...she shoulda released it as a cover.

[Poorlilrichboy]

i am screamin i kid u not i have been lookin for this forever

[escapedlabmonkey7053]

Damn Jill!

[motowninvestor]

Stevie: The Movie!

[taraty101]

Jill Scott aka Mma Ramotswe can BLOW!!!

[sistasumthin]

This was one of my favorite specials.

[Back0Pack]

Is that Stevie making fun of himself on SNL? LOL

Does anyone know where I can watch this whole tribute?

[TrueWuv2]

I love the way she sings this song. Her voice is beautiful, brings all the feelings of this song.

[izituorizitme]

She does an excellent job on this song. The painful experience really comes through.

[tlofee]

Jill killed this song,but I love N'dea Davenport of The Brand New Heavies version a lot better.

[VeeBee81]

I totally agree. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE N'dea Davenport's version

[dnt3v]

OMG, this is my favorite Stevie Wonder song....and my favorite singer...wow...she tore it up too! simply beautiful...I could really feel that one...

[sekoukim]

Listen to Micheal Jackson do I Don't Know Why I Love You as a child. He rocked it too!!

[Mahogany1974]

Oh you better believe it! For a kid,he rocked that song!

[ComyaBee]

I didn't know Mr. Wonder wrote that song. BEAUTIFUL!! Ms. Scott.

[souLreBeL490]

[bajansweetness26]

she's a heavy set woman it doesn't mean that she's not still beautiful

[rickunc]

@bajansweetness26 Jill scott is one fine woman!!

[malik420]

@bajansweetness26 she's one of the most beautiful women ever

[waffleface]

beautiful..she held back and took over this song towards the end.

[trueiopian]

Wow! This is just as good as Stevie's version! Amazing! I'm speechless.

[mzbre04]

It took me forever to find this song. Thanks so much for posting it.

[death2hakz]

i knew she would get a standing ovation lol

i was a bit shocked when they clapped sitting and when i saw the first guy get up i was like YEAHH I WOULD HAVE STARTED IT TOO IF EVERYONE WAS BEING DRY!!

[enjoythevision]

jill is the truth

[PrestonPowell]

Lord, Jill KILLED THAT SHIT! Man you can tell she was putting her foot in the song at the 4:06 mark! She should've recorded this song and put it on her latest album. By far the best interpretation of the song, behind the original.

[ibbysgurl]

I feel like she needed a whole extra verse just to tear it up some more, lol. Talk about talent. Not too many got skills like Jill these days.

[motyomeid]

can't get enough of this song performed by this great singer!!she's truly one of the best i've ever heard!!

[VisionPoet]

ok, it's SERIOUSLY not easy to cover Stevie Wonder. Jill, bravo. BRAVO!

[luvthedewgirl]

WOW!...* nothing else to say**

[SoulByDzyne]

Exxxcellent! Stellar performance! :-)

[BaggyJeansBoy]

I commented on this song ages ago and everytime I come back to it, Miss Scott KILLS me. This woman is truly blessed with talent. What an amazing interpretation just brimming with emotion; she is TRULY in the moment.

[ziggy107]

sang the hell out of that song

[JusticeLoveandPeace]

Oh my word ... Damn Jill ... you're killing me here. Damn ... ripped my heart out and left it bear and open after this.

I know why I love YOU Jill.

[misslittlemomma]

[Mel3177]

[Dyamanti22]

She did well. She sang it just the way i thought she would sing it.

[kives1985]

Holy Hell!

[un1quet]

A true performer. She felt that from the bottom of her soul!

[mrljk]

Like Jill says near the end of the song..."Damn!"

She tore that song up...EVERYBODY shoulda been on their feet at the end of that performance.

[Musicfox11286]

[sholt115]

stones version is the best...no disrespect

[jody808]

what?!! lol, go back and check out the original it's here on youtube

[MsRainbowGirl]

I have been looking 4 this 4 so long! She is powerful. She goes to a place inside when she sings and I feel it when she goes. There is1 more performance that she does of He Loves me that is any ex. of what I speak of.. she closes her eyes and releases all that she has..she got down into it so far she strechted that arm and started to move her fingers as if she was playing her body lyk an instrument. At the end of the song she opend her eyes like she 4got that she was on a stage. I luv Jill

[honestjane843]

She sang the SHIT outta this song!

[broncofangj]

[CTuxford]

Wow! That has amazing singing! It's so cool to hear such a wide range of phrasing and dynamics without it sounding like a technical exercise.

[Utube121288]

I do know why I love you Jill: because of your music, your lyrics, your humor sense, your smile, the feelings you pour into your songs, your vocal quality, your naturally behaviour, and your entire SOUL which you share with all us every time you make performances like this!¡! n_n

[timbie6]

Thas right i feel the same too i can't stope listening to her ,looking at her i feel so emotional

[2tru4u2c]

By far one of the best of Stevie Wonder's songs and who better than to perform it than Ms. Jill Scott. An phenominal woman in her own right who captured the essence of the words in the song. BRAVO!!!

[CreamyButta]
