Her musical communication skills are great!!! This is a very subtle thing, but as a voice coach, I emphasize this: Listen to the emphasis she places on certain words-it's the same inflection one would use in conversation.

Her delivery gave me goose bumps-it was not a performance, it was a testimony. It was not Marie glorifying her voice, it was Marie glorifying her God.

It would have been great if the arrangement would have allowed Marie to use her "classical" voice.

Thanks for your comments, this was one I hadn't really appreciated at the time, indeed it was one of the songs that I uploaded last... but it's a really interesting perspective you have that helps us appreciate how Marie sung this. Thanks again, all the best, John.

It doesn't have the nice flow that this song usually does. Might be because the lead singer is too amped up and the background is at like 50%.

She was chosen to do Sandy from Grease. It would have been interesting to see her instead of Olivia Newton John. Still, she stuck by her standards. Good for her!

What can I say? Beeeeeeeeeeeeeautifully sung. I loved her when Paper Roses was in the pop charts in the 70s, and I love her now.

When I saw that one of my favorite and prettiest singers was singing one of my favorite hymns - LDS or not I had to listen. Praise be to God. Thank you John. Jimmy Mac from Las VEgas
