  • Is candi statton American?

  • @tospicy4ya Yes. She was born in Alabama.

  • Bite the dust!

  • this shits on that gangley redheads version!

  • After the original this is the best mix.

  • @matrags Too Right Am With You! Respect - > DJ(UNITE)MC - MADCHESTER - UK.

  • new mix is betterrr WWAAAYYY BETTTERRR js

  • Escuchè a Florence y me quedo con Candi Staton....Menuda diferencia,nada que ver que la voz,el ritmo,todo...Ella es la mejor...

    

  • Listen to the pitron/sana mix. Then see what you think...

  • you guys gotta be joking.... Florence version is awful!!! seems like a drunken was singing at the karaoke, it has totally ruined a great song.....

  • @ulurusky I don't even want to imagine how terrible your voice is so please go back into your cave..

  • @smashingcray0ns hahaha, you are such a stupid brainless, what the fuck are you? the number 1 fan of Florence or what? get back to your shit hole and fuck yourself, asshole!!

  • @ulurusky Is that honestly the best you can come up with? Smh...

  • Most all of versions of this song are great but this one is by far my favorite. It has so much more feeling and soul to it, it is truly inspiring. No offense but the Florence cover does not move me the way this on does. I loved it from the moment I heard it on the last sex and the city episode

  • It doesn't matter if florence's version is better or not. Hers is a completely different song. The reason this is so powerful is because it so elegantly encompasses ecstasy, fragility; a desire to experience all forms on earth and grope transcendence. Thats what dance music and the era it grew out of was all about: Drugs, love , inner and outer space. Florence will die trying to replicate that!

  • Its called "You got the love" not "You've got the love." The Florence & the Machine version is called "You've got the love." Fail.

  • I think I prefer Florence's version. Nothing against this one, they're both pretty amazing.

  • This is by far the best version unlike the one that shemale Florence did!

  • @SoulManTom: lol So True!!! :)

  • Florence didn't ruined it. JASON DERULO DID IT.

  • This great sound was a marriage between the source and candid, it takes two to tango. Hahahaha so glad they did.

  • No pls can't agree with you there, plus she took and possibly improved not created

  • Candi does it better!

  • @hrpara that's just lunacy!! Not even going to bother saying any more, does not warrant it?! 

  • THUMBS UP FOR THUMBS UP AND THIS SONG

  • Luke Davenport !

  • Alot of you are Candi fans, so your opinions are bias, so theres no point in arguing with you about who sung the song better, but personally i think Florence sung the song better, I think this NOT because shes my everything(: but because I think shes the worlds best vocalist.

  • @Musicandpolitics7 and you're a florence fan, biased?

  • @hrpara Well, you may think that. But Seeing how Florence is more popular for this song then Candi is, Florence must have sung it better.

  • @Musicandpolitics7: Excuse me, Florence is more popular with this song than Candi? You do stand up, right?

  • @redpenphantom How can't you think that Florence isn't more popular for it! Florence's version has millions of views!

  • @Musicandpolitics7: so does Justin Bieber LOL how on earth can u claim F is more popular when she has been around for what, 2-3 years? get yourself checked man. just because u have a zillion views doesn't mean ur more popular or u have more talent, it's simply cuz of people like u that watch the same vid over and over again.

  • @redpenphantom I think it goes without saying that Florence is more popular. And to be completely honest, Florence is more talented, shes the best vocalist ive ever heard, i mean just listen to a live video of her!

  • @Musicandpolitics7: I trust she is more popular in "ur world" and it's ur right to believe that. but if you want me to spell it out for u: florence is utter shit! she can't sing to save her life and to even attempt doing this horrendous cover is a slap in the face to anyone that actually knows the difference between a genuine singer and a tourette town crier. ur opinion... my opinion... no one will win. u can buy her records and go to her concerts. I certainly would pay not to hear her.

  • @redpenphantom I'm just baffled as to why you don't think Florence is popular. She had the 7th most sold album in 2011, and a song that was labeled the song of the year.You don't like her just because she covered a song of someone you like.Who cares if you don't like her version that's the point of covering a song, is to sing your the way you want it sung. Florence sung at the Grammys with artists like Christina Aquilera and Jennifer Hudson. And Beyonces album was inspired by Flo.

  • @Musicandpolitics7: 1 sec, u were the one that started this ridiculous path that she was more popular to justify ur view and u keep hitting the same key about "popularity, where as the point here was who the real singer is. You assume left and right that I must be this or that. Furthermore just cuz someone's name is all over the press, that isn't synonym for talent. I really don't have the time to explain it further to you cuz ur stuck in ur delusions & it passed from being laughable to annoying

  • @redpenphantom I'm completely aware that this is Candis song, I'm not denying that Candi is talented, I think she can sing very well, I just believe Florence is better. We can agree to disagree.

  • @Musicandpolitics7 yeah and all yr favorites are gaga and adele shit, go listen to some more top 40 divas you tasteless slut.

  • @Musicandpolitics7: Thank you. This is what I was saying before, We can agree to disagree. :)

  • @redpenphantom So the question as to who is more popular isn't an opinion its a fact. And if you don't see that, then clearly your not intelligent.

  • This is the real shit. I hate Florence's version so much!

  • Classic, Prefer the orig thow

  • @wwwRickyWordenCom This is the original.

  • @PneusPie The original was released in 1986. This version (the Now Voyager Mix) was released in 1996. Search Candi Staton - You Got The Love for the original version (It's 6.55 long)

  • @Jellyform My ignorance has let me down. Now to the 6.55 version...!

  • @Jellyform: the original is STILL candi staton, regardless of 1986 or 1996.

  • @redpenphantom Candi Staton & The Source to be exact ;)

  • I really despise Florence & The Machine's cover of this. I hate it when she sings "lu-a-u-a-u-a-u-a-uuuuuuu-uuuu­uuu-uuuuu-uuuuuu-ove". So irritating. I hate her voice.

  • Comment removed

  • The best version of this song, by FAR!

  • Uwielbiam tą piosenkę. Przypomina mi stare dawne czasy i lata 90'. A to co Florence zrobiło z tą piosenką to porażka. Zero klimatu, niestety..............

  • Absolutely amazing version ! Florence eat your heart out :o)

  • Awesome video. Truly beautiful, poetic and moving. I commend you, sir, on this fine masterpiece.

  • Daan zo mooi was jij.. Met deze mooie song denk ik aan je.

  • This song is the reason the end of Sex and the City made me Bawl my eyes out!! I'm a gay man and Sex and the City showed me I was Fabulous!!

  • Sorry but Florence hasn't got shit on this. Feel guilty just typing Florence under this masterpiece.

  • Check this version: /watch?v=h1l4pDXbkic, it's epic!

  • love this version from Sex and the city !

  • @CrazyworldFab no, from '90

  • I don't often like covers but Florence's version shits all over this.

  • @scotthendo maybe you need to clean your ears, at the end of the day we can argue which is better. the record labels are the ones laughing all the way to the bank by releasing covers every generation and cashing in on new arrangement/cover of old songs, they also rely on noobs to think its brand new track.

  • @kisamakara Well Florence's voice is unquestionably better. I don't think there is much room for argument there. So then you have to decide which you like better, Florence's excellent backing band or this generic dance crap that any kid with a laptop can do.

  • @scotthendo they also did the original in 1986. florence vocals are not better, they are different.

  • @kisamakara Yup, not better just different. I guess in the same way a Bugatti Veyron is not better, just different from a from a Fiat 500.

  • @scotthendo id think a bugatti veyron of the music world would be someone with superior calibre than florence act, if shes/crew are a bugatti then what does that make justin bieber a ferrari? hell elton john must be some alien vehicle.

  • @scotthendo totally agree. I love this version (heard it first on sex in the city), but love their version too!!!

  • Simply The Best Song Of Them All....

  • The best!!! Hottest jam ever. The New York jam, still...Thank you Sex and the city and it's wonderful writing and creation. (-_-)

  • Fuck you florence for ruining this song for me!

  • @jaivomi i agree with you

  • @jaivomi How old are you to say things like that ? You certainly are nothing compared to Florence Welch so don't judge behind your computer and put at least some arguments (if you can find some). Guys like you are just wankers, you think that what YOU love is always the best, but guess what, I prefer Florence's version, but do you see me saying that Candi Staton is a bitch ? Nop. So grow up.

  • I just don't even know why versions are compared. It's obvious that Candi Staton was born to sing this song and that this is the superior work in every possible way.

  • this version is much better its just haunting

  • I like this version,but Florence made it so much better :3 probably cause I heard her's first.

  • @musermiki we all different in life. this track brings me back to my teenage years, a lot of memory's in life. that amazing vocal & break beat sound, and that Epic piano break down with true feeling with that verse makes it so EPIC as well as nostalgic in my mind.

    Florence version sounds like a cheap updated karaoke song, it's dead to me.

    But a lot of today's generation would have heard the song for the first time, and not dig this style when u find out about it, there you go :)

  • Thubs up if you agree that jason derulo and florence&the machine ruined it :(

  • @orenJF are you kidding? florence didn't ruin this. she just made her version. grow up.

  • @orenJF

    They haven't ruined it.. I still enjoy this song just as much. If you're gonna make one of these attention seeking thumbs up comments at least spell thumbs right =/

  • @101danr They are that bad you dont need the m. Ba dum tcshh.

  • @101danr its better untouched

  • @101danr: I'm sorry but I agree with orenJF, florence & the machine RUINED IT. regardless of thubs or thumbs.

  • @orenJF

    Too right.

  • @orenJF WTF?? The Florence version is waaaaay better than this sh*t! :O

  • @orenJF idk about florence but jderulo sure did, i haven't heard it though trolololo

  • All you people, this song is wayyy better than the florence and machine cover!! I love the background music to this song, and the part at 1:58 is incomparable! This song is uplifting!

  • I love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • @HearTheCallMin i count on it

  • I absolutely love this song, I'll admit that football brang me here because of the championship! This song is a classic, i love it1

  • Sooner or later in life the things you love you lose sooo true!!!

  • Fuck Sex and the Shitty, the film Layer Cake brought me to this song.

  • @krikarica Oh Sienna Miller how she is lovely :)

  • This is shit!!

    The one with the violin strings is way better!

    This version makes Florence & the Machine look amazing!

  • wow, first time i prefer a cover version of a original song...god save Florence :-)

  • I admit that the last episode of 'Sex and the City' brought me here,and now I am raping the replay button.

  • Candi Staton - Wat a voice

  • Now listen lady..I know i got the love..but we got divorced and you got my stereo bitch!!

  • it's so 90's and timeless. love it.

  • The Scary thing is... my favourite song was probably danced to at nightclub's all over the world by people buzzed off ecstasy.... in the 90s.

    sometimes i feel like saying lord i just don't care, but you've got the love i need to see me through!

  • im raping the like and play button

  • Love love LOVE this song! Been on repeat all day! Florence and the Machine's version is also good.

  • you've got the love ♥

  • um...this is NOT the original...that came out in 1990...this mix & vid suck...

  • /watch?v=duUk5ui6-wo&feature=c­hannel_video_title

    the best version of this song. love it

  • I have been to Sydney, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Barcelona, New York and Los Angeles (and lived in most of them!!) but NOTHING compares to London.....it is (in my opinion) without doubt the most incredible city in the world.

  • @KingKennyRules you have not yet been anywhere, so no wonder london gets your thumbs up :)

  • @MrCroft3242 ..........what do you exactly infer with that comment?

  • I much prefer this version by far.

  • I HAD NO IDEA! I thought Florence wrote this song... kind of disappointed the original's so shitty, but I guess no one can beat her.

  • @MeandmySara This is ten times fucking better... just because you have no appreciation for music.

  • Sex and the City? Florence!

  • LOVE.

  • fuck sex and the city! layer cake!!!!

  • Best song ever!

  • cany its about youre voice on this and the music and of course the words!!! ab brilliantxx heard this a long time ago, and it still makes me shiver, what a fantastic track, ok it was in a programme so what. i will remember it for just being you!!!!!!!

  • fuck sex and the city this is candy xx remember?

  • sex and the city......... that's the show with a talking horse right?

  • @Foxdodge

    Fragt sich bloß, wer hier das Pferd ist? :P

  • @NadaHollywood Sarah Jessica Parker

  • @Foxdodge

    Sicher nicht! :P

  • @NadaHollywood you better believe it, at one point they were even thinking about calling it Mr Ed & the city

  • @Foxdodge

    Na, wenn du sonst keine anderen Probleme hast als dich mit SJP's Aussehen zu beschäftigen.

  • @Foxdodge yep, that's the one.

  • @Foxdodge

    OMG that is so cruel and yet so true and funny :D

  • @Foxdodge oh.....and there was me thinking the show was about three hookers and their grandmother!

  • @Foxdodge HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Nice.

  • this song is just a pure work of art. the power created by the bass and the delivery of the lyrics is unmatchable.

  • I wonder what's the percentage of dance music videos that take the theme of a moody looking guy wandering around a city? About 97% by my reckoning...

  • damn beat

  • Thumbs up if you got here because of Florence + The Machine

  • love the original.

  • Maybe you also like my Remix of this Track? Watch it in my Channel ;) Called: "Sofa Tunes - Feel (DJ Drukktechnik Dubstep Remix)".

    Vocals from Candi Staton :)

  • @CorSandersProduction :) lovely remix!

  • sex and the city has nothing to do with this song, great song, crap show (and movie) :P

  • Thumps up if you got here because of Matthew Vaughn s L4YER CAKE

  • I was introduced to this song by Sex and the City and that's nothing to be ashamed of. The series finale of this award-winning show featured it to sum up the characters' stories and their friendship and it did so perfectly. This is just a good song whether you're thinking about the love of God, family, friends, or your other heroes. I would think that the comments for such a beautiful song would be more...loving?

  • @staycivil just finished watching the boxset and may i add i shead a tear.

  • Best version of this tune by a mile!!!

  • Eh, sorry I think flo's voice furs more. : /

  • Why would anyone hate on the fact that Sex and the City brought people to this song? That's great! More people to love and appreciate this awesome music, who cares how they discovered it?!

  • THUMBS UP IF YOU JUST WANNA GIMME A THUMBS UP

  • Some love Flo, some love this band. This song is amazing, as the cover is. Some prefer the original, some prefer the cover. Now, why to get so damn tribal about that?

  • "Thumbs up" If your love for music brought you here and not some American TV show.

  • Sex and the city is dumb... BUT THIS SONG KICKS ASS!

    

  • This video was up loaded one month and one day after my husband was K.I.A. This is a song I listen to when ever Im feeling down or just simply feeling wonderful. I share it with friends it's a good pick me up. *love shines down*

  • Just noticed the sex and the city thumbs up nonsense. wtf is going on?

  • Tuneage

    

  • Truly uplifting & magical. They dont make tunes like this no more. The words are so inspiring. Pure pleasure and my best Tune in years.....

  • This song is about God. Listen to the lyrics not fucking sex in the city.

  • Fuck all those thumbs up comments...tired of that shit.

    I came here because I googled that shit and I like this music, not because some lame ass soundtrack of some crappy movie..damn!

  • Thumbs up if you think Sex and the City is fucking shit and you know this song from its release back in like 1996.

  • @InTheCity3D It's worse than that...I can remember the 1986 original!!

  • Like it But you guys should check out how Florence and the Machine sings it its really good!

  • @harrypfreak101 Are you kidding? This version kicks the ass of FATM's version and even the original... ;)

  • @MrScottJMiller ok well all of them are good!

  • thumbs up if layer's cake brought you here ;) !!

  • timeless

  • This shits all over the Florence and the Machine cover

  • @xerxes502

    sehe ich auch so ;-)

  • best of this song is from 0.00 to 3.35

    

  • I'm sure Florence Welch wouldn't claim her version is better than the original. It's just fans who get all tribal about this kind of thing.

  • NOBODY BUT NOBODY can sing this song like Candy Staton. NOBODY. The raw feeling and emotion she pours into this song is chilling and breathtaking. This is HER song. It always was. It always will be.

  • @DENGODFREY I see the thumbs up raising this comment to the very top of the page.

  • original is wayyyyyyyy better!!! gives me shivers every time! love it!! :)

  • 5000 people dancing a field as the sun came up this tune was playing one of the highlights of my life, So loved up everyone was beautiful, everyone was moving in harmony, a perfect moment. damn I miss raving.

  • @MrScurvyKnave sounds like a great memory, wish I was there... this song brings me back to cosmopolitan London of the early 1990s

  • Why do people have to argue over which is better? There both great, there is no need to argue.

  • @foorganders Yes indeed!

  • Hi, does anyone know where i can dowload an mpeg of this remix. Have looked at the Now Voyager mix, but this is slightly different. I urgently need to get hold of this version. thanks

  • Hi, does anyone know where i can dowload an mpeg of this remix. Have looked at the Now Voyager mix, but this is slightly different. I urgently need to get hold of this version. thanks

  • I love this song

  • don't watch this if you're gonna bitch about which one is better

  • How is this video different from the original? I'm struggling to see the difference between this and the original minus the title at the beginning and the smaller size.

    Either way 'Voyager Radio Mix' is the best version.

    Florence didn't make this song, This all time great track helped make Florence.

  • The drop at 1:59 is epic

  • @joelliam1988

    you are so right!!!!
