Do you honestly think untalented or unskilled people would get record contracts? Those people ARE talented, it's the people working for them that change their image and performance style. When you sign, you're signing over your soul.
You have such an incredible vocal range. I cannot stop listening to your beautiful singing voice. It's literally like a breath of fresh air as you step outside into the world
Anyone know any talent agents? Let's make fame happen for this amazing singer, people! We can't be selfish and keep her to ourselves! Get her on Broadway!
Absolutely amazing Elsie! you have a Idina Menzel quality to your voice. I can't explain it, but you remind me of her when you sing!! Beautiful cover, and this is one of my favorite disney songs too
As you sang the chorus I started to tear up - completely not expecting that. Your singing voice has an incredible quality to it and I honestly don't know how you're not more famous. I'm glad you've got some voice acting roles but you deserve plenty more. Good luck to you, you insanely talented person.
LYRICS I have often dreamed of a far off place Where a hero's welcome would be waiting for me Where the crowds would cheer, when they see my face And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be I'll be there someday, I can go the distance I will find my way if I can be strong I know every mile would be worth my while When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong Down an unknown road to embrace my fate Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you And a thousand years would be worth the wait It might take a lifetime but somehow I'll see it through And I won't look back, I can go the distance And I'll stay on track, no I won't accept defeat It's an uphill slope But I won't loose hope, 'till I go the distance And my journey is complete, oh yeah But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part For a hero's strength is measured by his heart, oh Like a shooting star, I will go the distance I will search the world, I will face its harms I don't care how far, I can go the distance 'Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms I will search the world, I will face its harms 'Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms
I found myself clicking "like" before you even started singing... I've just gotten used to it, I guess! x) Got chills every where... Simply stunning, dear!
What key is this transposed to?! I'd love to know for future reference. I adore your voice by the way. It's very Idina Menzel-esque (especially in your upper range).
Thank you so much!! I'm really sorry but I don't actually know what key it is because my friend Kendra did it for me XD I'm useless with stuff like keys ;w;
Your voice is so amazingly powerful, it's like it reaches into my soul and hits me right in the nostalgia. I honestly think Disney should hire you to sing for their movies. If you did it would bring back a sense of my childhood that their newer movies seem to lack. You are incredible
wow.... just wow... you are fabulous!!! I started a couple covers of this song and stoped watching a few seconds in but you a just amazing! I'm going to watch more of your covers now....
Hey!!! :-D "Hercules" has never been among my favourite Disney films, but this cover is absolutely brilliant! I've enjoyed it far more than the film version. :-) And by the way, I clicked the "I like this" button before you even started singing the song - and I must say that it was a huge understatement. The "I adore this" button would be more appropriate. :-)
WHOOKOSMedia After watching this part of the movie, I remember being all of 5 years old and looking at my dad and saying "I wanna be a hero when I grow up" Manly Tears yall.....MANLY TEARS
Literally sifted through all these females versions of this song with literally 100% talent and 0% emotion. Finally found one that has both at 100%. Thank you ma'am.
I've grown up on all of these beautiful songs, but I never thought I'd enjoy yours more than the original. This song might as well represent my life in a nutshell. Thank you for this beautiful rendition Elsie.
Very nice job elsie. You really do this song justice. I like this version better than the one in the old animated movie. I feel this one has more emotion.
Go the distance have always spoken to me as im autistic and it's tough to find a place where I belong in this ableist shit world . Thank you for covering it!
Hooray! A new cover! And I must say, you sang "by his heart" in a way that flows better musically than it did in the original song. Kudos for that. Always something that I'm happy to see in my subscription feed. Good job, Elsie!
It's weird, overall Hercules isn't even in like...my top 20 Disney movies, but Go The Distance is easily one of my favorite Disney songs. Also, I think this is my most frequently relistened to of Elsie's songs. I just keep ending up back here. Great song, great performer. Winning formula.
This is amazing ! You really, really make me think of Idina Menzel when you sing the high notes, it's kind of disturbing (but in a good way, I'm a hudge fan of her voice) ^^ I love this song and your cover :D
Oh God, I'm so far behind on RUclips and all things in the online world, it's not even funny! I can't believe I missed you uploading this! Elsie, I seriously think this is one of the best covers you've ever done! Flawless doesn't even begin to describe how perfect this is. I think I'm on my third or fourth listen now lol
Wow! That fantastic! Reminded me of both Celine Dion and Idina Menzel. Tone and feeling was flawless and you even brought a bit of the 90's nostalgia back for me so thats even more cool! ;) You did wonders with this! ;D
I have waited for this day when a female cover has been made for this song with a singer that can convey what the feels for this song is. You have exceeded the amazement of this song with your voice!!! TT^TT Thank you for doing this song!!
Amazing cover! Your voice reminds me a lot of Elphaba from Wicked. You really make the song your own, I got chills from listening. You are incredible :)
Oh lord! Are you secretly an Angel? You have the most beautiful singing voice! I envy your singing voice.. I wish I could sing like you! TEACH ME, TEACHER!
This makes me so happy :D You're so amazing! I keep telling everyone that I know to come check you out because you are just so amazing! Thanks for being you
You have such a gifted and an amazing voice! I can listen to this cover all day and this is perhaps better than the original version. :) You are really REALLY talented!
Amazing cover of this song! I just love how you make every song your own! This was so much higher than the original, but still so great, amazing feeling in this!
Soooooo amaazing D'; I'm going to cry now. *jumps off cliff* Anyways, as an aspiring singer/coverist I think you are SOOO TALENTED and hope when I'm older I'm somewhere near your skill level! This song is so beautiful and your cover inspired me to do this for a talent show. And because of that, I learned how to transpose karaoke XD So creds to you for all of that! You're stunning!! love you
This song means so much to me- reminds me of my dream and how I have to keep going, so hearing you sing it was just incredible. Absolutely fantastic :) You have such range and such strength in your voice. You should be more well known for it.
The singers on RUclips sing better than most of the famous singers on tv. Very well done. Keep doing what your doing.
IrisClaudia, I agree with you on that. Most if not all the singers that are famous don't have the natural gift that most of the RUclips singers have
You said it!
Do you honestly think untalented or unskilled people would get record contracts?
Those people ARE talented, it's the people working for them that change their image and performance style. When you sign, you're signing over your soul.
Thank you so much for everybody's wonderful kind comments on this, it really means a lot!!
Elsie Lovelock 58
I can't stop listening to your singing
You have such an incredible vocal range. I cannot stop listening to your beautiful singing voice. It's literally like a breath of fresh air as you step outside into the world
The most beautiful version i have found in a female voice in spanish or english
This song is great u think you'll ever try to redo it ?
Anyone know any talent agents? Let's make fame happen for this amazing singer, people! We can't be selfish and keep her to ourselves! Get her on Broadway!
+Candice Frost Awwww, thank you so much, Candice! It would be lovely for that to happen, I have to work harder XD
Omg you replied! Would you consider covering Sia's "Chandelier"? It would be an inspiration!
+Candice Frost NO! She is mine, *MY PRECIOUS!*
Candice Frost yn
how can you sing everything so epically and not be famous yet?
What are you doing on RUclips anyways XD
You could be the next Christian Aguilera girl
Wow... Just blew me away. Was this uploaded from Heaven, because it sounds like an angel sang this! Awesome as usual, Elsie.
Absolutely amazing Elsie!
you have a Idina Menzel quality to your voice.
I can't explain it, but you remind me of her when you sing!!
Beautiful cover, and this is one of my favorite disney songs too

You sound like Idina Menzel 0-0
So beautiful!
LYRICS
I have often dreamed of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome would be waiting for me
Where the crowds would cheer, when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be
I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way if I can be strong
I know every mile would be worth my while
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong
Down an unknown road to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime but somehow I'll see it through
And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope
But I won't loose hope, 'till I go the distance
And my journey is complete, oh yeah
But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart, oh
Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world, I will face its harms
I don't care how far, I can go the distance
'Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms
I will search the world, I will face its harms
'Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms
Gave me chills. I stumbled on your "far longer than forever" duet and can't stop watching your videos. You are immensely talented!
you're honestly one of my favorite singers....ever.
I found myself clicking "like" before you even started singing... I've just gotten used to it, I guess! x)
Got chills every where... Simply stunning, dear!
The same thing happened to me. :-)

Haha I do the same!
This just made me cry tears of happiness!!! Best cover i've ever heard!!
13 people cannot go the distance.
38 now. How very sad for them
What key is this transposed to?! I'd love to know for future reference. I adore your voice by the way. It's very Idina Menzel-esque (especially in your upper range).
Thank you so much!! I'm really sorry but I don't actually know what key it is because my friend Kendra did it for me XD I'm useless with stuff like keys ;w;
Haha its okay! I'm a music minor and even I can barely figure keys out haha thanks anyway (:
How do we go about getting you to do a duet with Dan Avidan?
+Ian Jones Hah I wish! I'm a huge fan of Game Grumps and NSP, I love him! :D
I think this is my favourite cover of yours Elsie, I've lost count of how many times I've listened to this
WOW! Fabulous! Your high belt is astounding. Very inspirational! I'm a singer too, but have never been able to belt that high. Fantastic!
Holy cow! You SLAYED this! Easily one of your best covers by far. Top 5.
YOU HAVE THE VOICE OF A GODDESS
your voice is scary good. they need to sign you up to be the next Disney princess
Your voice is so amazingly powerful, it's like it reaches into my soul and hits me right in the nostalgia. I honestly think Disney should hire you to sing for their movies. If you did it would bring back a sense of my childhood that their newer movies seem to lack. You are incredible
Your cover is FANTASTIC! I didn't know I needed this in my life until now. I
love it!
wow.... just wow... you are fabulous!!! I started a couple covers of this song and stoped watching a few seconds in but you a just amazing! I'm going to watch more of your covers now....
I love this song!!! I just moved from FL to CA and I miss everyone and everything this song describes my life right now. thank you!!!!
Hey!!! :-D "Hercules" has never been among my favourite Disney films, but this cover is absolutely brilliant!

Brought an actual tear to my eye. :'D

Beautifully done
Literally sifted through all these females versions of this song with literally 100% talent and 0% emotion. Finally found one that has both at 100%. Thank you ma'am.
YES!!! I've been looking for a decent cover of this FOR SO LONG!!!
THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!!
Whoa. I think you just blew the original to pieces. Do you think you could sing "I'm still here" from Treasure Planet sometime?
Please do tell me you actually are a voice actress.
I've grown up on all of these beautiful songs, but I never thought I'd enjoy yours more than the original. This song might as well represent my life in a nutshell. Thank you for this beautiful rendition Elsie.
This is the best cover I've heard! You're amazing! This song was a part of my childhood too and makes me cry as well :) Well done!
Very nice job elsie. You really do this song justice. I like this version better than the one in the old animated movie. I feel this one has more emotion.
OMG this is SO AMAZING! I love it so much! ❤
YOUR RANGE. YOUR VOICE. IT IS AWESOME. This is GORGEOUS!

Probably the most beautiful, heavenly belt I've ever heard.
Wow!!! Just wow! You absolutely nailed it!!
VERY GOOD Elsie!!! YOUR VOICE, WONDERFUL!!! Listen to your cover shakes with emotions!

One of my most favorite Disney songs....you'll be in my heart is another one.
This is amazing ! You really, really make me think of Idina Menzel when you sing the high notes, it's kind of disturbing (but in a good way, I'm a hudge fan of her voice) ^^ I love this song and your cover :D
Now that was gold, every note a gem!! #NewFavorite Keep on singing, Elsie..
Did anyone else get chills? I do when the music is really good like I can fall asleep to her voice.... I find comfort in this woman! lol
I started crying thirty seconds either because of how great your voice is or because Disney makes me cry in general
Oh God, I'm so far behind on RUclips and all things in the online world, it's not even funny! I can't believe I missed you uploading this! Elsie, I seriously think this is one of the best covers you've ever done! Flawless doesn't even begin to describe how perfect this is. I think I'm on my third or fourth listen now lol
Michael Bolton must hear this song to know someone can sing as good as him especially when it comes to this song.
Wow! That fantastic! Reminded me of both Celine Dion and Idina Menzel. Tone and feeling was flawless and you even brought a bit of the 90's nostalgia back for me so thats even more cool! ;) You did wonders with this! ;D
Loved seeing your face in this one!
I have waited for this day when a female cover has been made for this song with a singer that can convey what the feels for this song is. You have exceeded the amazement of this song with your voice!!! TT^TT Thank you for doing this song!!

You have an amazing range! You sang this beautifully, and mostly in your chest voice, if I'm not mistaken. Wonderful!
Thanks god you exist!!! You're great!!!!!!
