Taylor Swift Live Fearless Concert coming up too. bare See how I'll leave with every piece of you Don't underestimate the things that I will do There's a fire starting in my heart .........
I keep coming back to this video - noisy crowd regardless, it is the loveliest ballad ever and Joan Osborne sings it the best. Thank you Joan for being such a great singer and for singing that beautiful song. Setting was perfect also just a pity about the wasters crowd.
She is a national treasure. And America doesn't even know it. Just unbelievably heartfelt and gorgeously interpreted. She did Adele AND herself proud. Viva Joan!!
I'm not really a fan of Joan's, but I clicked on this video because I saw that Tracey Wormworth (of The Waitressess) was listed as a band member.
Fan or not, I can't believe this audience.
I've been to performances and had to wait until others performed until my favorite(s) came on stage. While I didn't care for the others, I had enough manners to keep quiet while they were on, no matter indoors or outdoors.
It's common courtesy for the performers and the fans. Geeez!
i like this better than her original recording. And yes, it's better than Adele's version. This performance is full of soul despite the apparent disregard the audience was showing her.
Got to agree, people who go to gigs and don't show respect by shutting their faces and listening to the acts when they perform, p!ss me off. This is a great version and gets my thumbs up.
Wow this is such a great and beautiful song and she sang it amazingly !!! I rarely here this song on the radio. This song to me is like that one guy on that Seinfeld episode that stops elaine from talking to listen to it hahaha!! lol!! ;-))
there are so many versions of this beautiful song and i must say this is now my second favorite (no need to discuss my fav). joan is incredible and i agree w/ javadude54 but i'd say put ANYONE in freezing cold blowing wind and i doubt the results will be as great.
I've been on YouTube for months now, and this is the first time I've felt compelled to actually sign up for an account and comment on anything. Beautiful performance, what a talent. Been following her for a long time, thanks for sharing this Derek, over the years you have always been a reliable source of everything Joan. :)
Beautiful song, beautiful voice. The words make me cry. When I am in a bluesy music mood I go to my Joan Osborne CD's. This is quite slow for her...but this girl can "kick it"! She's the best since Janis. Great, great talent.
I think I like Garth Brooks version better, maybe because his was the first version I heard and got used to. Tough call between Joan Osborne and Trisha Yearwood; Trisha Yearwood gets a slight edge because I'm more familiar with her, no other reason. Joan Osborne has an incredible voice, wow, and beautiful to boot! I used to live in San Diego, and the breezes coming in can be more than a little chilly during certain times of the year!
I really think you all need to watch all she sang prior to this encore performance song. She was freezing and dancing. She is way incredible and most certainly takes top over all I heard sing live on this song. As for beauty...again taking top!that I do know about!LOL
You could feel the emotion with Joan's voice. Adele's voice is unique but I find her rendition a bit snobby whereas Joan you could hear a WOMAN sing of heartache.
She is SO obviously singing this to one she loves. She is phenominal. Singing this the way in which it is meant. Thank you to Bob Dylan for another brilliant tune.
@Jordi1962able Bob Dylan wrote this song 1997, it was on his Time out of Mind album released in September that year..... easily over 100 Bob Dylan songs covered by other artists.... type ' List of artists who have covered Bob Dylan songs' into Wikipedia for the full list
Listen to everything from "Relish" EXCEPT that one song and you will have a truer idea of her style. Amazing album, and "One of Us" is by far the worst song on it.
Col7777..a lot of people talked about others who have covered it because many people have. No one has said a negative thing about Joan's performance. Everyone loves her...what's not to love. As for the audience...from experience I can tell you she didn't hear the audience yakkng away ..it was probably just the people in the proximity of the camera. I love the setting.
probably THE most underated female performer in history,well except kate bush,but anyway,right on joan.righteous love was bought by maybe 2 people n i am pround to be one,lol
This is the best version of this song. I had the chance to see Joan Osborne in O.C NJ in 2001 and it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. She is underated as a performer.
I don't understand how anyone can compare Adele, a very ordinary vocalist, to Joan Osborne - one of the very best there is. So much more musical and creative. Her own style, not just able to pitch high notes (like a million others). And great Dylan song too. Mr G*d Dylan.
I didn't realise how many people have covered this song, bob dylan, kelly clarkson, ronan keating, bryan ferry, billy joel to name a few, but out of all of them I think adele has the best version, joan osbourne coming close second, but saying that joan's version was live so hard to compare
Bob Dylan didn't cover the song, he wrote it and recorded it first, Garth Brooks was the first BIG cover, everyone else is comes after. Obviously, this isn't a comment about who is best, that kind of opinion, like yours, is a blind alley.
I guess you're not going to like me saying I like Adele's version better. It doesn't mean I don't like this version though! I think she does a fantastic job. She changes it up the melody a bit, which sounds great. Also shows what a great musician she is to do that, and have it still sound wonderful.
I just listened to adeles version of this song, and it doesn't come close to joans version. Its bland and boring, where joan puts some real feeling in her version.Lovely song joan.
every version of this song is great and they each evoke something different but for me i think i can relate to this best, so soulful, so simple. so true.
I wonder how well Adele would do standing up in a freezing cold wind blowing off the Pacific Ocean like Joan did. I've heard her version, still prefer Joan's, though I admit I'm biased because I think Joan Osborne is one of the best singers there is. I love everything about her voice and how she uses it.
@javadude54 Just don't compare them. For me Adeles voice is also very lovely ... and bless Bob Dylan for having written this beautiful song. It is like a frame for all those versions. And look how many people can feel the love coming from it, since it has been covered so often by so many beautiful voices.
Somebody gave your original post a pity green thumb. I left it there, having made a few late-night, alcohol influenced gaffs of my own, though not that bad.
It has been covered by Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Billy Joel, Neil Diamond, Joan Osborne, Luka Bloom, Josh Kelley, Timothy B. Schmit, Kelly Clarkson, Ronan Keating, Mick McAuley and Winifred Horan (from Solas), Emily Loizeau, Bryan Ferry, Mary Black, Jasper Steverlinck, Ruarri Joseph, Phil Keaggy, Taylor Hicks, Jon Peter Lewis, Adele, and Kris Allen.
i love this version the best. does bob dylan own the rights to this song? if he does, he gave adele permission. joan osborne rules tho
Kelly Clarkson butchered this song like alot of other ppl did...but i must say this was a nice job...Adele did it best though..i havent heard a version to top Adele's version
I remember seeing Joan at the Fineline in Minneapolis. I walked by and yelled, "Ladder." She responded with, "Exactly" and began singing Ladder. It was sweet:)
what a bunch of idiots that didn't shutup and listen to one of the greatest voices that you will ever hear. Joan you are so powerful, Please don't ever stop!
Nice recording. I agree that those ppl should have stfu during the song :) I like the country version, myself. I like the Bob Dylan original but certainly prefer when someone else sings it :)
Absoulety one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. Sung by a great singer.They can keep Celine and "BABS" I'll take Joan and Cyndi any and everyday. I'm so pleased that I found this, and thanks to whoever posted it. One complaint, who are all the IDIOTS at this peformance that are talking throughout the song? They need to get slapped, and I'll do it!!!!!
Adele version is best for me Adele has so much soul. But this was cool

Yes, you are right. That's what I get for posting a comment late at night after a couple of glasses of wine :)

Somebody gave your original post a pity green thumb. I left it there, having made a few late-night, alcohol influenced gaffs of my own, though not that bad.

Me fascina, como ella se olvida del frío... y se entrega... I'm fascinated by the way she forgets about the cold, and gives herself, to the song...

I remember seeing Joan at the Fineline in Minneapolis. I walked by and yelled, "Ladder." She responded with, "Exactly" and began singing Ladder. It was sweet:)

Nice recording. I agree that those ppl should have stfu during the song :) I like the country version, myself. I like the Bob Dylan original but certainly prefer when someone else sings it :)

Absoulety one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. Sung by a great singer.They can keep Celine and "BABS" I'll take Joan and Cyndi any and everyday. I'm so pleased that I found this, and thanks to whoever posted it. One complaint, who are all the IDIOTS at this peformance that are talking throughout the song? They need to get slapped, and I'll do it!!!!!
