OMG! Is she ever! I watched this live and she made every hair in my body stand on end. She made this song her own. Just like Patsy Cline made Crazy her own when it was actually first recorded by Willie Nelson. If you want to hear another monster rendition of another song, look for Susan Boyle's X Factor rendition of Wild Horses by Rolling Stones. She took that song and ran away with it into the havens.
Ha! That Fantasia is just indescribable! I have to re-visit this quite often; and each time, it's like I am experiencing her musical genius for the very first time! This is my absolute favorite performance by her!💙💙💙
Fantasia this has to be the best performance I have ever heard by you. I can never get enough of listening to this over and over again the beauty and power of your voice is undeniable.
April 2022 and it's my first time seeing this. 🤯🤯🤯👏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️ Elton was transported, eyes closed the entire time. So was I. She should record this. She's 1 of my fave singers EVER. Deserved a standing ovation. Goosebumps.
Her talent has taken her a long way from Greensboro,NC. But she has never forget what was instilled in her or where she came from. CHURCH IS IN HER❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Even though it's not a gospel song, Fantasia took that audience to church and back to the stage with this beautiful performance of Sir Elton John's amazing love song.#OBP
I just LOVE that Elton John was able to experience the interpretive genius of the beautiful and talented Fantasia with his song; and that Warren Beatty was there to witness this stellar moment as well! She had an audience who witnessed her sweet and moving nuanced with this song; that they ordinarily would not have been able to witness in a normal setting!
Man listen! It’s 8.15.19 and I’m still moved by this. Did y’all get into the conviction and facial expressions. She looked him dead in the eyes and gave him nothing but true talent.
INCREDIBLE! Perfection. She even moved Elton John to tears! She has a wonderful Sarah Vaughn quality to her voice that is just endearing. Invokes nostalgia in the best possible way.
Two of my fave singers, but I don't really think they're much alike. She's a mix of Michael Jackson and Nina Simone to me, but with a clear gospel background. MJ in the way that there's a desperation, agility, tremble and grit that I find similar. And Nina in the way that she translates the emotion in a song perfectlyx so empathic. I'm sure being church bred has something to do with it.
It has even more meaning.. he was the only star to back her when they were gonna put her off American Idol because she couldn’t read. Elton said the devil is a liar leave Fanny right there on that show!!
Fantasia, única. Soy de Argentina y la conocí mirando American idol. Sólo lo vi por ella. Desde la primera vez que la escuché, me dije: ella es especial. La interpretación más bella que escuché de esta canción. Ver como Elton siente que le llega como flecha a su alma, y no puede evitar conmoverse. Es hermoso mirar algo así. Hace 3 días encontré este video, y lo vi varias veces. No me cansa. ❤
It really took Elton back to the feelings , when he wrote this song and the things he was going through.In other words…she brought up some shit he was not trying to hear.
Just can never, ever get enough of this rendition. Holy grail !! Even though this is a human song, I hear the earth, animals, creatures and nature crying and signing it to us to listen, please listen and care. Amen ॐ
such an easy song to love...its a haunting song. And sometimes those are the best songs because they're hard to forget. Her interpretation is so powerful...you can feel that she know the song inside out, because of how she emotes every single word. This is the trait of a truly great singer. Thats why we say "anybody can sing a song...but can you make the listener, believe you?". She'll take the baton from Patti LaBelle and Chaka Khan and run with it, because they are who I think of when I hear her sing. And Elton...you are the bees-knees.

Still listening to this in 2023. She did an outstanding rendition of this song!! This is one of my favorite songs from Sir Elton John.
She has a very particular way of phrasing her songs that makes it more heartfelt
She sang it perfectly. Best version that i have heard.
Nobody does a tribute better than Fantasia…
She is SUPREMELY talented. Naturally gifted, no assistance in the booth, ever.
She is one of the most amazing singers I have ever heard. When you make Elton John cry, you know you did something right!.
OMG! Is she ever! I watched this live and she made every hair in my body stand on end. She made this song her own.

Ha! That Fantasia is just indescribable! I have to re-visit this quite often; and each time, it's like I am experiencing her musical genius for the very first time! This is my absolute favorite performance by her!💙💙💙
She needs no introduction. You hear that one of a kind and unique voice and you know it's her.
Never heard this version, my heart is touched, full of soul, Fantasia is very underated.
Fantasia this has to be the best performance I have ever heard by you. I can never get enough of listening to this over and over again the beauty and power of your voice is undeniable.
The fact that she sang this as a little tyke a baby! Her interpretation of song is so empathetic. When you make EJ cry, you bad!

Whoever did the lighting… is a genius!
It's 2023 and in tears. Bravo!
April 2022 and it's my first time seeing this. 🤯🤯🤯👏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️ Elton was transported, eyes closed the entire time. So was I. She should record this. She's 1 of my fave singers EVER. Deserved a standing ovation. Goosebumps.
Tasia really killed every single one of these tributes damn.
Her talent has taken her a long way from Greensboro,NC. But she has never forget what was instilled in her or where she came from. CHURCH IS IN HER❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I LOVE ALL YOUR TRIBUTES FANTASIA
I just LOVE that Elton John was able to experience the interpretive genius of the beautiful and talented Fantasia with his song; and that Warren Beatty was there to witness this stellar moment as well! She had an audience who witnessed her sweet and moving nuanced with this song; that they ordinarily would not have been able to witness in a normal setting!
She made Sir Elton cry his eyes out
I think she took him to space and time in his life when this was personal moment.
Yassss
this song... when black women love, we love hard.
Man listen! It’s 8.15.19 and I’m still moved by this. Did y’all get into the conviction and facial expressions. She looked him dead in the eyes and gave him nothing but true talent.
Fantasia is the tribute slayer ❤
Fantasia is greatly amazing, she sang this song perfectly, you could see it in Sir Elton John face.
This rendition is so moving!❤
Still listening to this 2019
2021 I'm still hit hard by this performance.
INCREDIBLE! Perfection. She even moved Elton John to tears! She has a wonderful Sarah Vaughn quality to her voice that is just endearing. Invokes nostalgia in the best possible way.
