I think Jill Scott did a beautiful expression of Stevie Wonder song. I was feeling it right with her, that's the only important thing, nothing else. Just simply Beautiful!!!
One of my favourite of all time songs.Few people have covered it and done it justice,you know who they are and this lady is one of the absolute best Great job Jill. Also an amazing actress.The No.1 lady detective.x
Ok, this performance is just BEYOND RIDICULOUS. Just watch her sing this song. My. God! If I could only choose one word to describe her personhood, it would be precious. She is so open to feeling, all the good and all the bad. She allows herself to be wide open so that her heart can soar in the glory of it's love and sink to the lowest of its sadness. This is why I LOVE. HER! . She's feelin it and she aint afraid to show it
Between Stevie's orginal, The 'Stones' spooky cover, the Jackson 5's catchy version and this powerful rendition, I don't think a bad version of this fantastic song exists!
Really? I assumed that it was written by Stevie Wonder and several others, as that's what was on my Rolling Stones record. Thanks for the interesting info!
ty jackson Definitely a 'new' song written by Stevie Wonder, although it does borrow heavily from that older song that you mentioned. All praise STEVIE!!!
+ty jackson I only know Stevie wrote this song and didn't realize it was inspired by another song. Can you tell me the name of the song, and the writer of the 1913 version as I really want to listen to it. This is one of my all time favourite songs. Thanks Ty.
Not sure about some peoples ears or hearts, for me, Jil Scott took this to a deep place. Even Stevie felt the passion and the pain in her delivery, she nailed this song. Coming of age, this was my favorite Stevie Wonder song. I hope Jil records this someday.
This was outstanding ,you did great Jill !! she's not trying to take over Stevie,she just wants to do her best to tribute this MAESTRO.There is only ONE Steveland Morris (Stevie Wonder) who is One of the Greatest Musicians-Singers in the known world....on this planet!!! You nailed it Jill,for real!!! Stevie is proud of you , for sure! Standing Ovation *Clap * Clap* Clap
Man, I wish there was a better quality vid of her, love Stevie and Jilly. She hit it out the fuckin park with that one, one of my favs, but true not one of the well known Stevie Wonder tracks, but so powerful!
+monkeyRL I am with you on this...as I have watched this so many times and so wish there was a better copy of it. I absolutely love her version - just as much as I love Stevie's and the Jackson 5...all different but all so good. I have loved this song since I first heard it when I was a kid - so beautiful, so powerful, and so full of emotion. Stevie was just a kid when he wrote it - he was definitely a prodigy.
I commented on this song ages ago and everytime I come back to it, Miss Scott KILLS me. This woman is truly blessed with talent. What an amazing interpretation just brimming with emotion; she is TRULY in the moment.
Every cover I've heard of this beautiful song, from Jill Scott, Stevie Wonder, the Jackson 5 & the Brand New Heavies are just as strong as the other. GREAT JOB by all. I dedicate this song, my last dedication ever, to my Ex...
Jill made this song her own (just like Michael)...it was very beautiful to hear and see her performing this piece yet at the same time it made my heart sad because I know someone who is suffering right now because she truly loved a man who probably never loved her. She has faced the reality of it but it still doesn't take away the hurt and anguish! Excellent job 1st to Stevie, the original artist and then to you Jill for the tribute to a great master artist!
Wow, I forgot she did her dam thang on that tribute to stevie....Beautiful as always, and I love love love the song gives you something to think about only stevie wonder can make you do that
Now, that's how you perform a song!!! I feel like I just watched a feature film. Great Storytelling and strong Melody. She made me feel like she was singing to me.
You are someone who got it! I wish that the other people who commented on Jill's performance not matching up to Stevie (or Michael) would have realized that this is a tribute to Stevie and not a comparison to any other artist! Jill made this song a really blues piece....excellent work, young lady!
i knew she would get a standing ovation lol i was a bit shocked when they clapped sitting and when i saw the first guy get up i was like YEAHH I WOULD HAVE STARTED IT TOO IF EVERYONE WAS BEING DRY!!
OMG... i've been lookin for this video for so long... thank you for posting this... Jill Scott is an AMAZING artist words can't describe how beautiful she is... I love her so much.. amazing performance
The Brand New Heavies have a version on their "Get Used to It" Album w/ N'Dea returning as their female lead... I respect all of these artists (Stevie/ Michael/ Jill/ N'Dea) individually and it is interesting to heard different interpretations of the same lyrics. Art is subjective but it is also an "imitation of life!" Jill did it her way based on her personal experiences. It is easy for the ev'ryday person to forget that entertainers are HUMANs 1st - IJS!
She sang this song! I had never heard this song until I heard her sing it. It made me find the original and the Jackson 5 version. She should have made recorded her version.
Go 'head, Jill! Deep emotion. You really can't have anyone without this kind of vocal and personal passion sing a song like this. That's why, honestly, I love Michael's more than anyone's. Love the SNL clip beforehand...and pre-Oscar Jamie Foxx just bein' the clown that he is!
i agree. it was taped to VHS, and then i had to do a conversion to get it into the computer. Shame BET don't offer hiQ archives of their shows. Thanks for watching!
Jill's soul is on fire, make sure you watch 'til the end!
Jill Scott is the best female cover of this song and I give Michael Jackson best male.
YES SHE IS REALLY ON BIG TIME FIRE.
Man, it really doesn't matter who sings this, there is truly not a bad version!!!!! That's the mark of a good tune.
i am screamin i kid u not i have been lookin for this forever
I think Jill Scott did a beautiful expression of Stevie Wonder song. I was feeling it right with her, that's the only important thing, nothing else. Just simply Beautiful!!!
This woman brought down the house and almost brought me to tears in the process!!! Absolutely STELLAR performance :).
JAMIE!!!!🤣😂 Jill DID THAT. I didn't expect anything less...
The Brand New Heavies killed this cut. Hands down!!
Lil Michael Jackson kills it even more, Hands Down!
Yeah they did!!!
So do Andrew Roachford and John Mellencamp!
I've heard all the versions and the only one that really did it for me was The Brand New Heavies!
David Porter took OWNERSHIP of this song, sorry Stevie.
WHEW that ending was just the cherry on top. This is why I love Jill.
One of my favourite of all time songs.Few people have covered it and done it justice,you know who they are and this lady is one of the absolute best Great job Jill.
Also an amazing actress.The No.1 lady detective.x

LarryRickenbacker actually this song was originally composed in 1913...its been done over 50 times from Frank Sinatra to The Jacksons and beyond
Really? I assumed that it was written by Stevie Wonder and several others, as that's what was on my Rolling Stones record. Thanks for the interesting info!
No prob !

I didn't know Mr. Wonder wrote that song. BEAUTIFUL!! Ms. Scott.
I absolutely love this song. I haven't heard it done bad by anyone. Thanks Stevie for writing a winner for me.
Every one who has covered it has done a splendid job 😍👌
The brand new heaves did an amazing cover to the original song too!
So did John Cougar
Omg Jill Killed it! When she walked away from the mic it was a wrap!!!!
Love it
chillin..I love how Jill puts her heart out there...
I got goosebumps!!! Sing Jill!
Smoking! One of my all time favs and Jill smoked it! Thanks!
She kills everything
Leave it to Jill Scott to find a hidden gem like this Stevie song!!! Love Stevie!! Love Jill Scott!!!
MS. JILL SCOTT SINGS THIS SONG VERY,VERY WELL EXCELLENT.
Not sure about some peoples ears or hearts, for me, Jil Scott took this to a deep place. Even Stevie felt the passion and the pain in her delivery, she nailed this song. Coming of age, this was my favorite Stevie Wonder song. I hope Jil records this someday.
I also enjoyed it actually. She put so many layers on it.
This is also my fave Stevie song. So many covers over so many genres, and not a bad one in the bunch. It speaks to the timelessness of it
@@cupidsiza Have your heard N'Dea's or Fantasia's versions?
seeing her performing it was actually my introduction to the song!!!!
gotta love Jill man...she shoulda released it as a cover.
Me too
I felt this!!! I don’t know why I love this crazy man
Very few singers can bring me to tears with their voices...but Jill is clearly one of them
This was outstanding ,you did great Jill !! she's not trying to take over Stevie,she just wants to do her best to tribute this MAESTRO.There is only ONE Steveland Morris (Stevie Wonder) who
is One of the Greatest Musicians-Singers in the known world....on this planet!!!
You nailed it Jill,for real!!! Stevie is proud of you , for sure! Standing Ovation *Clap * Clap* Clap
Wow! That has amazing singing! It's so cool to hear such a wide range of phrasing and dynamics without it sounding like a technical exercise.
I dont understand how you can dislike this performance. One my top five Stevie songs, and my number one JIll performance!!!!!
Thats my baby!!!! She makes me so proud! lol
*****peace n luv folks*****
can't get enough of this song performed by this great singer!!she's truly one of the best i've ever heard!!
Man, I wish there was a better quality vid of her, love Stevie and Jilly. She hit it out the fuckin park with that one, one of my favs, but true not one of the well known Stevie Wonder tracks, but so powerful!

If ya never been there, you can feel it when you go there with Jill.

Every cover I've heard of this beautiful song, from Jill Scott, Stevie Wonder, the Jackson 5 & the Brand New Heavies are just as strong as the other. GREAT JOB by all.
I dedicate this song, my last dedication ever, to my Ex...
One of my fave Jill songs... i absolutely love her. She makes you feel it right along with her.
Donice Chappell this is not Jill Scott's song. Stevie Wonder wrote this song.
