  • Fav part: 2:08-3:21. :)

  • you realy need to listen to the entire song to know what its about.

  • i think it lack soul Fantasia really took it there and really got into everytime she sang it

    i dont get soul from this lady

    she can sing tho

  • she did a ok job but when I first heard Fantasia sing this song it moved something inside of me...i didnt get that from her...she was pitchy and her voice kept cracking you can tell she struggled with it a lot

  • @Therose565625 Well you can come hear me sing at New world Stages in NY with Tituss Burgess, the original cast of spring awakening, and several other stars. November 22nd. And let me make this perfectly clear I'm not by any standards a perfect singer...no one is. I believe Jeannette knew her voice was tired, so she did what any great performer would do: She acted the hell out of it! She is very very talented, but this performance isn't her best and I believe she would tell you that herself.Peace

  • @Koashine100 LETS HERE U SING

  • I'd like to say that the cut-off with the musical director at the end is practically PERFECT!

  • I'm not comparing fantasia to Jeannette I think they both bring something to the role, that is stunning...however in this performance, she sounds a little tired vocally, and a wobbling jaw vibrato is never a good thing. She should work on supporting her sound more, so her vibrato--especially at the end, won't change the pitch...she literally went flat probably like 3 whole steps down. Great singer though.

  • Nah... she doesnt touch me the way Fantasia does

  • she's amazing!
