Can we talk for a moment about the perfection of the song itself? Somewhere over the Rainbow is such a beloved song. When sung by an amazing singer, it transports all of us to a different world. Excellent job Heather!!
Heather has the most amazing power in her voice. Her voice is gorgeous but the sheer power in her voice makes this performance just incredibly stunning. That talent was deposited in her by God. Beautiful performance.
Exactly the same as me Rossella - it was indeed an honour and a privilege to hear her singing this live - just blew my mind, and yes - head to toe goosebumps too!
This just proves what the right voice can do for a song. Hundreds can sing it, but few can really touch you. Her version does just that. She and Patti Labelle sing this the best.
Heather, it is easy to measure for me singers quality, the more I cry I know The better they are cause they had touch my heart...and certainly you did so profoundly. From argentina with love.
as a classical singer my self I truly love you and your voice and also I wanted to say I loved your rendition of "MEMORY" from Andrew Lloyd webber 40 years on broadway it made me cry beautiful heather your a true gift !!!!
Jesse Clifton Well, that was THE SONG OF JUDY GARLAND....the song for Judy Garland! There was NOTHING SPECAIL about her singing of that song. It was like running a straight-away or drinking a soup with NO INGRIDIENT! There was neither spice nor salt.
@@laurentiletinni3698 sounds like you need a hug to get some of that hatred in your heart out. Either that or you must be some extremely talented individual to criticize someone like Judy that way.
I have no idea if this is truly Heathers RUclips channel or if she even reads the comments but if you do, Andrea McArdle introduced us years ago. I had my son with me. It was brief but I’m so blessed on what the Lord has done in your life. Your husband and beautiful family that God has given you. Wayne Cilento and his wife Cathy have been friends of my wife and I for years. The gift that God has deposited in you with that gorgeous voice has blessed me and my entire family. May the Lord continue to show His favor in your life today and forever.
I.m a fan of Eva Cassidy who died way too soon at 33..Her sister and I are good friends over the years thanks to our internet..I do a radio show in Fort Wayne Indiana and i'm also a musician/singer/song writer and have traveled the world for 61 years ..now i'm 79..Heather is unbelievable and I'm so lucky to have her mom on our radio show this morning..We will play her songs and her mom will tell us things we don't know about this talented lady of song and on Broadway...Eva does a great job on this and so does Heather...The two of them are terrific..they both have so much soul in their singing and maybe i'll give the edge to Heather on the soul......God gave the people of color great voices,with a tad more soul than us white folks..Although some can get down with the best....WE DO OUR RADIO SHOW ON WELT 95.7 IN FORT WAYNE...YOU CAN GET IT ON YOUR COMPUTER AT THE ALLEN COUNTY LIBRARY SITE ..WE DO OUR SHOW SUNDAY AT 2 PM AND TUESDAY EVE AT 6 PM..YOU MAY BE ABLE TO CATCH HEATHERS MOM..SHE IS A WONDERFUL LADY AND I'M BLESSED TO KNOW HER...
Best singer alive right now, and has been for a while. I don't know why we don't see more of her, but I think there sure is a lot of irony in the fact that whenever someone needs a great performance of a song for a special occasion they always call her.
Beautiful, brilliant - totally blessed. She has been entrusted with a powerful gift. I pray that she will lift the eyes of many to behold the Giver of All Good Gifts.
Heather has the ability to impart a gospel aspect to just about any song which is a tribute to her versatility and skill. One of my top two favorite female vocalists. Her musical interpretations are always so exciting.
I came back to this tonight, I just needed my Heather fix, it's been a rough day and I needed this, such a beautiful voice, God blesses some of us with the gifts of a beautiful singing voice to share with the world, he has BLESSED this beautiful woman with a beautiful gift
I love Heather Headley! Her voice simply moves me, so rich, honest, loving and soulful! Anyone who can hold her own with Andrea Bocelli, well, enough said.
The way you sang this song...it made tears form in my eyes...you made it speak to my heart...Thank you for singing this song sooo beautifully Heather...God Bless you!!!
Just WOW!!! It's really hard for me to like another interpretation of this song other than Judy's but this one is beyond spectacular. mainly because she wasn't trying to imitate the original, she perform the song as if the song were hers and it totally paid off.
Heather, you're immensurable awesome singing in this video !!!!!!!!! Kisses from Brazil. And just a tip: you should come to Brazil .... :D Luv ya !! Hahaha
I saw her with Andrea in Tampa that year in Dec, she blew everyone off the stage. Outstanding concert. And as always he chooses only the best of the best.
When all the clouds darken up the skyway There's a rainbow highway to be found Leading from your windowpane Just a step beyond the rain Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true Some day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere, over the rainbow bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow why then, oh why can't I? If bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow Why, oh, tell me why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow Why, oh, why can't I?
Excellent production job - it is better than the original and with Ms. Headley's and Mr. Norful's annoiting , God's love for us cannot be denied !!!!! Keep up the great work and God Bless you always !!!!!
Thank you, Heather. This performance was powerful - artistic and spiritually moving. You posed that question and had me pondering: Why can't I ..?🙂🥰 You have a wonderful gift. Lift Jesus high! Much love 💕!
I just saw this live and it was phenomenal. Superb voice control even better than the video. So glad you came to Barbados . . . So glad you came from Barbados at least a part of you! I hope that you can come again and inspire our youth to strive for excellence!
I am listening to this wonderful and Glorious voice to remember how my loving Pastor Uncle who just passed enjoy to hear Heather sing this song. He said it made him Feel Heavenly. 🙏😥
Am actually addicted to this - I'll be honest, I saw the Royal and thought "yeah, nice" but then saw you do Memory on ALW 40 years show and decided that I had to look up more as you were just amazing! (imo best version I've heard - let's slap you in an ugly cat suit asap!) Then I found this, and it's been on repeat pretty much daily for the past couple of weeks... Amazing vocalist! You need to be more well known!
Beautiful voice Ms. Headley - I was introduced to your awesome singing with "Jesus is Love" with Smokie Norful - I replay it over and over !!! God's continued blessings to you and your family always !!!!
Retire this song. She killed it. No one is allowed to ever sing this song again after this.. .....simply incredible.
seriously, what an amazing job

So proud of this trinidad native!!!!! May God continue to bless you!!! What a wonderful voice!!!
Blessed, eh...She does us proud!
I had the HONOR of hearing this live, Heather is a BOMB!! Goosebumps and tears is what she creates!!!
Me as well, I was gobsmacked by her tone and control.
I envy you
Exactly the same as me Rossella - it was indeed an honour and a privilege to hear her singing this live - just blew my mind, and yes - head to toe goosebumps too!
I believe it! I love her voice. I hope to hear her live!
I had no idea that she sang!!!! What have I missed all these years?
ABSOLUTE BEST version of the song I've EVER heard.
Heather's voice is truly our national treasure.. and SEVEN WONDERS of THE WORLD--she is perfected beauty & splendor!
this was performed in tampa florida.i was there.i still dont believe what i heard.the best version i have ever heard.what a professional
This just proves what the right voice can do for a song. Hundreds can sing it, but few can really touch you. Her version does just that. She and Patti Labelle sing this the best.
Ray Charles version is second to none.
Perfect pitch, beautifully sung with restraint and at the same time a powerful presence.
BLUE is THE COLOR here..Very Dramatic Heather..She is a Perfectionist with BLUE background, blue dress etc..Blue Birds..Lovely

She touched me deeply with her performance. What a voice, what an arrangement, what a treat.
Really georgous voice !!!
she's gifted....
I saw this live and was incredibly moved and comforted after my brother had just been killed at the time. Thank you ❤️
I LOVE THIS WOMAN, HER VOICE IS A GIFT FROM GOD!
There'll never be another Judy Garland, but I'm sure she's looking down from heaven smiling at this absolutely phenomenal rendition.

My eyebrows hit my hairline in stunned amazement. This is just ridiculous. How does a human being reach such a level of amazingness?
Heather Headley singing this great classic literally took me over the rainbow. It was, in all reality, out of this world.

A master piece.
One of my favorites. Par excellence! Proud to be Trini!

She is the greatest singer in te whole world.
First time I saw her was in high school when I saw her in Aida and she was so beautiful and her voice is amazing
The opening was especially beautiful!
Always loved her voice!

When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your windowpane
Just a step beyond the rain
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere, over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow why then, oh why can't I?
If bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, tell me why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
This rendition could never be perfected. Brings tears to my old eyes realizing there is indeed another home, over the rainbow!
Bless you Heather!!!👈❤
she's amazing, been watching videos of her for the last hour
God give you the gift to touch people’s heart. Blessings!
I saw this live and it was amazing and brought tears to my eyes then and still does today. I love this!
