im not of color so i cant relate to what you feel, but I alwasy felt like people are disconnect from eachother and the earth they live on. This song is so powerful to me because of how much it screams for the greatest parts of humanity to show itself.
+no one's favorite asshole that's exactly my reaction... that was insane! well, i thought that's the thing in broadway. they have to sing great spot on. there's no turning back. the show must go on and singing is part of.
That's what one can do when you're a classically-trained soprano, a Broadway musical veteran, and a four-time Tony Award nominee. Judy Kuhn is a big star in that circle.
2024 and I’m still listening to this… and I’m a man😂 it’s crazy how she sounds exactly like the movie you can tell by how she sings she felt this in her soul
Such powerful words...we have but one world and each of us one lifetime..all our colors make up our world...may we be able to one day find that peace in each of us and each other.
+wonkavite I don't even understand how she hasn't been inducted yet. The voice of Tiana was inducted as a legend after only being a princess for less than 5 years.
Doesn't make sense because all studio songs are rounded off from around that time and to today. Besides, all theatrical singers are supposed to have this level of skill, even today. Your point is weak and ignorant.
+Derek hi I'm a bit surprised and disgusted a jidf shill, as yourself is here. stop spreading your lies, hate, and political social engineering agenda in general but especially here where moral ppl come who r nice, very unlike u. sometimes negativity is called for but not here. try to b happy about the song and actually listen to it.
Broadway artists are the real deal. They are singin live with acting. No room for mistakes. Audience in front of them. They were absolutely those pure talent
Disney Pocahontas was made for her voice.... Her live sounds identical to the studio version and it gives me goosebumps.. Hands down to the best singer in all disney classics, together with Lea Salonga
I KNOW. This song is HARD. I took singing lessons for years and I had a pretty good voice (I say had because I'm out of practice, and had some health issues that seem to have affected my singing), but I usually had a sore throat and would be out of breath after singing this one.
Everytime she sings this song, I cry: for all marginalized people, and for mother earth which we are so disrespectful to. "How high does the sycamore grow/if you cut it down, you will never know"
I think a reason this song is one of the greatest in Disney movies is because it's a song I think everyone can relate to.. And if you noticed close to the end it looked like she was getting emotional.. Songs are performed and sing better when there is an emotional connection.
Yeah; for all the actual events & aspects of her life they did NOT include in the movie, they made up for it with the overall message, I think. Namely Colors of the Wind - Which is, I believe, what she stood for.
I really like Vanessa Williams cover but Judy's original version is still my favorite. It would've been nice if Judy would've sang this song in the Oscars, i feel like the award was really meant for her version not Vanessa's :/
@@irmajasso-mendez4333 because that verse is the contextual intro in the movie.. the RnB version is more universally held not only applicable to the attack on native Americans by european soldiers.
honestly I don’t think she realized how much of an impact she had on our generation. she really impacted me personally and I cry every time I hear this song
SIMPLY PUT, SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL... SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!! SHE SINGS THIS SONG NOT ONLY WITH HER MOUTH BUT MAINLY WITH HER HEART, WITH HER MIND... AND WITH HER SOUL!!!!!
As a woman of color I feel like movies like this are so important because it’s a message of loving and respecting somebody who doesn’t look like you, And I also love the message of taking care of the environment and respecting it is so clear too
I keep seeing comments like she doesnt realize how good she is, or she sang it way better than Vanessa Williams....Y'all really thought Disney was going to hire some fly-by-night to sing one of the most powerful influential Disney songs of all time...this lady is clearly above qualified to sing this or any other song. Just amazing.
I LOVE the OG voice. It’s so strong and powerful yet beautiful at the same time. A lot of the covers are really ‘girly’ don’t have that bad-ass ness to their voices.
i don't think there's anything wrong with girly. that's misogyny talking. all different styles have their merits. it's ok if you prefer one to the other but you don't have to take down one to elevate another.
I wasn’t allowed to like pocahontas Disney growing up. But as an adult i can appreciate the outstanding performance Judy is delivering. Same with the animation of this song in the movie. Brings me to tears like Judy when she’s singing 🎉
I am a 91 born... And today, this moment Alexa is playing this song on loop. They gave me dreams... They gave me freedom.. they gave me Hope. They gave me the most powerful emotion I have in me... LOVE💙
I prefer Judy's version because I tend to gravitate more toward classically trained vocalists, but Vanessa's version is beautiful too. It's comparing apple and oranges...they're both very talented but very different in style and approach.
Her voice was perfect for Pocahontas and Lea Solonga was perfect for Mulan and Jasmine. The casts were all perfect. Judy has power in her voice which made it perfect for this song.
This song taught me so much about appreciating and respecting our planet as a child and now, at 33, I cry when I hear it because we've ruined the land for all the animals she honors in the song. We treat this land like it's ours to pillage and manipulate it for our comfort
Two Jewish men wrote this song and a Jewish woman sing this amazing song. That the ability to express spirituality to this extent is Jewish is understandable. They know About it the creation and the creator of the universe.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My ears refuse to accept any other versions of this legendary song sung by the Disney Legend Judy Kuhn. This is the only version I ever heard besides another Disney Legend Lea Salonga’s rendition.
I come after years because I remembered this song, when I was a kid I loved this movie just because of this song, really moving the power of this woman's voice
I had never cried like this in my life until now. I was remembering the tune in my mind all day, I hadn't heard it in decades. I cried with sadness and happiness at the same time for understanding it today, for the possibility that perhaps I will leave this world with one less crack in my soul. I heard it in 1995 when I was 6 years old, now I'm 35. I guee I it was disconnection from the animals my parents taught me to eat. I am referring the thinking being, with emotions, the ability to cry, to be sad, to feel fear and also feel joy like us, that existed. "You think the only people who are people Are the people who look and think like you But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger You'll learn things you never knew, you never knew"...
I remember seeing this in 1995 before the movie came out. It was always so exciting to anticipate the next big Disney film. Anyway, I didn't appreciate what an incredible performance this was then. She really has a powerful, unique voice! It's stunning.
again, this vid, why isn't this watched by more than a million people?? this woman is just epic! one of the world most amazing voices!! i love you Judy
This song gets me every single time so beautiful such a powerful message we could all learn something so fundamental about life from this easily the best of Disney
This is a song I’ve heard many times but some days, I just “wake up” and realize how much went into it. I especially appreciate the strings that accompanies this song during the height of “have you ever heard the wolf …”. We 90s kids were LUCKY to have had this in our childhood. I appreciate this kind of music without even knowing it as a kid.
Only discovered Judy Kuhn a few months ago having seen the best live performance of the musical 'Chess' i've ever seen, from 1989. Why this girl didn't become a mega-star i'll never know - there is no justice in this world...
‘The rainstorm and the river are my brothers’ that part always gets me 🥺 Such a beautiful song and especially vocalist, she sounds amazing live ❤️ Big message in this song
Her singing is so crisp and clean that u can hear every single word so clearly. I also love how it’s so straightforward and on beat instead of the flashy garbage vocalists are doing these days, taking the liberty to slow way down or speed up whenever they please to fish for applause from the audience before the song is finished. Like what singers do to the national anthem.
You can see the story in her eyes and feel it in the vibrations of her voice. She is not just singing but a piece of her is living the story and it becomes real.
Who's listening to this in 2024? 👍🏼
Me
Roll Call. HERE!
Yo! 👋
I'm here
Right here
best singer in all disney classics and maybe the deepest song
indeed!!
Yes!
and thats compared to all the freaking amazing disney singers aghh her voice is so rich
I think she has competition from Lea Salonga for that title. Or indeed Mary Costa the voice of Sleeping Beauty, who went on to be an opera singer.
Lea Salonga!!!
I don't think this woman understands the powerful impact she had on us young kids of color. Her voice speaks to me on a whole other level
amen :)
im not of color so i cant relate to what you feel, but I alwasy felt like people are disconnect from eachother and the earth they live on.
This song is so powerful to me because of how much it screams for the greatest parts of humanity to show itself.
so true.
Fact and THATS a fact.
This song always makes me cry.
Her voice moves people, very emotional and powerful
@ Veronica Suarez This song is 100% Powerful.100% Talent, 0% Depressing
Veronica Suarez meeee tooo!!
😭😭😭
Same here. But before I get teary eyed, goosebumps sets first.
She literally sang a studio-quality vocal live. That's insane. What sort of black sorcery is this?
+no one's favorite asshole She played Cosette in the Original Broadway cast of Les Miserables. 8 shows a week of singing live. She's a badass. :)
coolness06 I know, but still, even Broadway singers don't produce studio vocals when they sing every time. Judy Kuhn really is a badass.
+no one's favorite asshole that's exactly my reaction... that was insane! well, i thought that's the thing in broadway. they have to sing great spot on. there's no turning back. the show must go on and singing is part of.
That's what one can do when you're a classically-trained soprano, a Broadway musical veteran, and a four-time Tony Award nominee. Judy Kuhn is a big star in that circle.
+MartyHasNoLife It's white sorcery!!
2024 and I’m still listening to this… and I’m a man😂 it’s crazy how she sounds exactly like the movie you can tell by how she sings she felt this in her soul
Same here.
Hell, I feel it in my soul
Who’s listening to this in 2020?! 🙋🏽♀️
me
me! :-) powerful song, powerful voice.
😂👏🏼
I am, love the song and even live it,sometimes!
Such powerful words...we have but one world and each of us one lifetime..all our colors make up our world...may we be able to one day find that peace in each of us and each other.
Dude she needs to be inducted into the Disney legends!!!
wonkavite yeah, no editing needed.
+wonkavite I don't even understand how she hasn't been inducted yet. The voice of Tiana was inducted as a legend after only being a princess for less than 5 years.
i dont see how she wasnt
Her voice is great like Lea Salonga
She IS disney legend, everybody knows this song because of her amazing voice
This song should be the new national anthem 🙌🏽 👏🏼 👌🏽.
Indeed! One day🙌🏻
💯
This was a time BEFORE autotune made most of the singers today..this is REAL TALENT
Amen🙏

Totally agree
Broadway artists are the real deal. They are singin live with acting. No room for mistakes. Audience in front of them. They were absolutely those pure talent
I like how Judy's singing voice matched almost perfectly with Irene's speaking voice. The nuances of their voices really characterized Pocahontas.
Disney Pocahontas was made for her voice.... Her live sounds identical to the studio version and it gives me goosebumps..
Hands down to the best singer in all disney classics, together with Lea Salonga
And she's still got it over 20 years later at almost 60 years old. ruclips.net/video/yX1qUZKqpYg/видео.html
not identical, similar!
I prefer Lea Salonga’s version. Lea is vocal perfection in whatever she sings, in my opinion.
@@brucejane7395 Lea's voice sounds a bit too thin for this song.
@@jixer1956yes, Judy Kuhn is made for this song, but the version of Lea is amazing but still I prefer Judy Kuhn's
i teared up at the “how high does the sycamore grow” part. so, so powerful and you could see the happiness on her face while singing it
Same i lost it started bawling
And now that you mentioned it...
Same
It's humbling how this grainy video can deliver emotions I rarely ever feel in movie theatres. What a song, what a singer.
Its that dang otter and heron part for me... 😭
Her pitch is amazing
She makes this look so simple to sing...mark of a true master.
I KNOW. This song is HARD. I took singing lessons for years and I had a pretty good voice (I say had because I'm out of practice, and had some health issues that seem to have affected my singing), but I usually had a sore throat and would be out of breath after singing this one.

I think a reason this song is one of the greatest in Disney movies is because it's a song I think everyone can relate to.. And if you noticed close to the end it looked like she was getting emotional.. Songs are performed and sing better when there is an emotional connection.
The ending of the song is the most beautiful and poignant. “…all you’ll own is earth until…” So amazing ❤❤
2:47, aw, you can see some tears beginning to form there.
This song always pops in my mind at “ Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon!” 😌
"And we are all connected to each other, in a circle, in a hoop that never ends" ...❤
Tell that to all of the racists!
@@kayj2093 and those who are into colorism as well.
Yeah; for all the actual events & aspects of her life they did NOT include in the movie, they made up for it with the overall message, I think. Namely Colors of the Wind - Which is, I believe, what she stood for.
So true and beautiful
@@kayj2093 tell that to yourself in the mirror then
Absolutely moving. Brought tears to my eyes. Got instant flashbacks to my childhood.
8 years from this video and I still get chills!!!
I really like Vanessa Williams cover but Judy's original version is still my favorite. It would've been nice if Judy would've sang this song in the Oscars, i feel like the award was really meant for her version not Vanessa's :/
Rubs Hernandez so true like aladdin not same voice singers in the movies dont get recognised unless you bought the movie sound tracks
Yes... Vanessa deleted the first and very crucial verse from her version. Why? Disappointed w her. Prefer Judys.
Most definitely
@@irmajasso-mendez4333 because that verse is the contextual intro in the movie.. the RnB version is more universally held not only applicable to the attack on native Americans by european soldiers.
honestly I don’t think she realized how much of an impact she had on our generation. she really impacted me personally and I cry every time I hear this song
Yes!!!!!!
Yes! I cry every time as well. 🥺 Alan Menken + Steven Schwartz + Judy Kuhn = A match made in heaven
SIMPLY PUT, SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL... SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!! SHE SINGS THIS SONG NOT ONLY WITH HER MOUTH BUT MAINLY WITH HER HEART, WITH HER MIND... AND WITH HER SOUL!!!!!
ruclips.net/video/yX1qUZKqpYg/видео.html
The lyrics are up there in the light who ever wrote this must have been thinking in the light.
As a woman of color I feel like movies like this are so important because it’s a message of loving and respecting somebody who doesn’t look like you, And I also love the message of taking care of the environment and respecting it is so clear too
Judy Kuhn's voice is out of this world... perfect. Omg. Thanks for this video!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
She sang so clear that I could hear and see every words. Other singers lack this clarity which defeat the meaning of the song's spirit.
Prob the most underrated disney song ever. So relevant for today.
God this song is so amazing! Her voice is out of this world. She is absolutely my favorite! The absolute best Disney song
I think so, too :)
Completely this film is beautiful back when Disney was more interested in making movies that mean something rather then money
Amazing song ❤❤
I keep seeing comments like she doesnt realize how good she is, or she sang it way better than Vanessa Williams....Y'all really thought Disney was going to hire some fly-by-night to sing one of the most powerful influential Disney songs of all time...this lady is clearly above qualified to sing this or any other song. Just amazing.
I don't think so
Preach
Dang she killed this
I LOVE the OG voice. It’s so strong and powerful yet beautiful at the same time. A lot of the covers are really ‘girly’ don’t have that bad-ass ness to their voices.
Exactly. All the other covers are too pretty and girly.
i don't think there's anything wrong with girly. that's misogyny talking. all different styles have their merits. it's ok if you prefer one to the other but you don't have to take down one to elevate another.
This song is so touching you can see her eyes brimming with tears as she too sings this soul cleansing song.
As a First Nations woman from Canada I truly appreciate this song. Thank you Judy. Thank you. 🇨🇦
i wondered how native tribes might look at it. thank you for the implied endorsement.
I wasn’t allowed to like pocahontas Disney growing up. But as an adult i can appreciate the outstanding performance Judy is delivering.
Same with the animation of this song in the movie. Brings me to tears like Judy when she’s singing 🎉
This seriously sounds like it’s from a studio and she’s doing it live. I’ve always loved her voice.
The orchestra is from the original studio sessions, but she is singing the song live.
I am a 91 born... And today, this moment Alexa is playing this song on loop. They gave me dreams... They gave me freedom.. they gave me Hope. They gave me the most powerful emotion I have in me... LOVE💙
She sang it way better than Vanessa Williams lol
James Paolo Garcia i hate Williams version she destroyed it.
vanessas version is shite!
+James Paolo Garcia Vanessa is a pile of shit mainstream impostor.
James Paolo Garcia I prefer Vanessa's, but I guess to each his own.
I prefer Judy's version because I tend to gravitate more toward classically trained vocalists, but Vanessa's version is beautiful too. It's comparing apple and oranges...they're both very talented but very different in style and approach.
The golden quality of her voice!
"and you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon, for wether we are white or copper skin" THE POWER THAT LINE HOLDS
I think about the wisdom of the native people and their respect for the earth.♥
And we think we're so smart....
What... what... WHAT!? How is this possible? This is the best live rendition of anything I've ever heard. I'm... in awe.
gabor ap this is the woman who actually sang the song in the movie.... this is not a rendition lol
Can't get the "you can own the earth and still all you'll own is earth until..." Out of my mind. Such deep and true pile of words
When raw talent was all that mattered in the music business.... good times. Miss old disney.
her voice and facial expressions remind me of julie andrews when she sings in "the sound of music". this woman is incredible.
I love when Julie Andrew sings the sound of Music she is awesome also
Matter of fact I am going to add Julie Andrew's to my playlist.Thanks for bringing her up
I don't see how her voice doesn't have more views and is so underrated. This is better than Lea Solonga in my opinion.
Agreed. She's absolutely underrated. Lea's version of this song doesn't hold a candle to Judy's.
its not a bad version but you cant even begin to compare it to the OG vocalist
@@SAELIOSMUSIC Judy is the OG vocalist for this song. She was the singing voice of Pocahontas in the movie.
@@Ihdc1 yeah I was replying saying Lea Solonga’s wasn’t bad compared to Judys
Her voice was perfect for Pocahontas and Lea Solonga was perfect for Mulan and Jasmine. The casts were all perfect. Judy has power in her voice which made it perfect for this song.
Why hasn't she been given the Disney legends award yet?
This song taught me so much about appreciating and respecting our planet as a child and now, at 33, I cry when I hear it because we've ruined the land for all the animals she honors in the song. We treat this land like it's ours to pillage and manipulate it for our comfort
Whos listening to this in 2019?
@Blair Bart II Me as well
Here it is!

Some voices are never heard, they touch the heart more than any star. It is a shame we never hear them more.

About it the creation and the creator of the universe.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
STUNNING!
She ate this whole thing up
She sings with her soul!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Among the disney princesses, judy khun has the best vibrato.
never heard any singer who sings like her! truly amazing!
Why they choose Vanessa over this, i will never understand! What a powerhouse and imho one of the most beautiful songs in the world!
I was thinking the same!!
She's amazing her voice is stunning with perfection
I had never cried like this in my life until now. I was remembering the tune in my mind all day, I hadn't heard it in decades. I cried with sadness and happiness at the same time for understanding it today, for the possibility that perhaps I will leave this world with one less crack in my soul.

Her voice is perfection!
I can feel the emotion in the song
gosh she did an amazing job ,her voice is So strong & proud, so effortless done ...... very talented women !!! love Pocahontas .
This was live and way better than some new singer after 3 days of audio editing in studio
It feels wrong watching this without hearing thunderous applause at the end. Holy shit that was amazing
again, this vid, why isn't this watched by more than a million people?? this woman is just epic! one of the world most amazing voices!! i love you Judy
This song gets me every single time so beautiful such a powerful message we could all learn something so fundamental about life from this easily the best of Disney
I got goosebumps
The best of all versions.
This had no business making me cry from nostalgia.
Pocahontas was my favourite film, and “princess” as a child.
my absolute favorite disney song
One of my favorites singers. You feel the meaning
God really gave her a beautiful gift!
i dont remember any more how many times i pushed the replay button on this song....simply amazing, not like garbage songs of 2021
The best. No remix could ever come close to her voice of integrity.
Judy, Jodi and Lea my top 3 singing Disney princesses.
And Also Anika Noni Rose. ❤❤

She’s great
@@alkahinat4558OH that’s great, not so many people know that. I’m so glad someone else knows of her achievements. She’s really a talent to remember
That voice is a God Given gift! Such emotion being spewed for a music of bliss.

What an unbelievable performance!
I love her voice. Beautiful.
I can feel her emotion 🥺
