Geez. Did I have to sing and cry along to this? Of course. Ah. Gone are the times when songs were written not only to move your your lips but your heart and soul especially. Love this so! Miss my childhood home in the Philippines.
Gets me every time....such a powerful performance, that it transcends time, itself. People criticising Diana Ross' singing have obviously never watched The Wiz. While other renditions out there are good in terms of technical ability, Diana's version is more than just about the technical, it's about her on-screen presence, with tears streaming down her cheek. It's about how the character of Dorothy would have sung it in the context of the story. The song mirrors her development on her journey from a quiet, directionless girl, to an aware, empowered woman, moving with purpose. She's found her VOICE, and that's reflected by the end of the song. Diana's speaking to us both as the character and as herself, all at once, telling us all to find our voice. She knew exactly what she was doing with this song, and it's absolutely magical for that reason.
Vey well said! Diana is authentically singing (and living) it vs. merely trying to give a good performance. Her voice is powerful; she just has that light-lyrical Soprano voice that carries differently. Louder voice types, acrobats, and over-singing does not equal better.
Amazing! I grew up on Motown, singing and dancing in my living room to The Temptations, The Supremes, The J5 (watched their cartoon every Saturday morning). When The Whiz came out, I was in music heaven! I loved the intensity of Diana singing this song up on the movie screen, but for some reason, hearing it again now make tears come to my eyes even more (you hit 50, and you get sappy LOL!). Thanks so much for posting this!!!
HOME is a very difficult song for beginners. yes it is a good try for aspiring singers and a good piece for singing contest. Only Diana Ross, maybe she only can sing it perfectly while crying with joy in her heart. Kudos to ms. Diana Ross
I love, love this heartfelt version of Home. Diana Ross sings with such emotion, you can feel it. She adds real meaning to the lyrics. That’s how you sang a song. That’s right! I said “sang” not sing. She is outright “sangin”
Think of home Home When I think of home I think of a place where there's love overflowing I wish I was home I wish I was back there with the things I been knowing Wind that makes the tall trees bend into leaning Suddenly the snowflakes that fall have a meaning Sprinklin' the scene, makes it all clean Maybe there's a chance for me to go back Now that I have some direction It would sure be nice to be back home Where there's love and affection And just maybe I can convince time to slow up Giving me enough time in my life to grow up Time be my friend, let me start again Suddenly my world's gone and changed it's face But I still know where I'm going I have had my mind spun around in space And yet I've watched it growing Oh, If you're list'ning God Please don't make it hard to know If we should believe in things that we see Tell us, should we run away Should we try and stay Or would it be better just to let things be? Living here, in this brand new world Might be a fantasy But it taught me to love So it's real, real to me And I've learned That we must look inside our hearts to find A world full of love Like yours Like mine Like home...
When I first heard this song it immediately touched my heart and I knew what every word meant to me I immediately started crying as soon as I heard the voice of heaven I knew home wasn't where I was at the moment but I knew it was the best of my life and my heart and soul was the only thing ever to be the best thing ever for my family and friends and my heart is in the best of my life to be in my life and my family and I will always love you too much for your help with anything I need your help with 💯 😘 just be patient with me and I will always be there with you and show you what I can do for you and I 😙😘💋😍😗😍💘💜😍😗😍😗😘💋😘😚😚❤️❣️😘💖💋😘💋😍😗😍💘❤️❣️❤️❣️❤️❣️❤️❣️😘💖😚😚😚😚❤️❣️❤️❣️❤️😍😗😍😗😍😗😘💋😘😚😘 All praises to my lord and savior Jesus Christ Blessed me with you 😜😉😉😉😉😉😉 facts 💫😁😇😁😜😉😉

Vee B I think the song has to kept in perspective with the rest of the movie. Other artists sing it and it's great, but in this version of the song she is making a wish. It is a whispered prayer. She's been thru all of this stuff and she just wants to go home now. It's beautiful in it's simplicity of being just that - a wish/ a prayer.
Every time I hear this song, I think about my grandmother being here with me. R.I.P grandma.
I have always loved this song and it still makes me cry. I even tear up everytime I try to sing it.
She is crying because of happiness and she gets a second chance in her life to start over and go back home and start over and grown up
Geez. Did I have to sing and cry along to this? Of course. Ah. Gone are the times when songs were written not only to move your your lips but your heart and soul especially. Love this so! Miss my childhood home in the Philippines.

Encore - encore! excellent control of her voice...thx for posting!
Now that's some kind of singing. She made me a believer. What an awesome talent. I've always loved her.

진짜 감동적이다 ...ㅠㅠ
This make me think of my Grandmother
Oh God I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!
I like this movie
Think of home
Home
When I think of home
I think of a place where there's love overflowing
I wish I was home
I wish I was back there with the things I been knowing
Wind that makes the tall trees bend into leaning
Suddenly the snowflakes that fall have a meaning
Sprinklin' the scene, makes it all clean
Maybe there's a chance for me to go back
Now that I have some direction
It would sure be nice to be back home
Where there's love and affection
And just maybe I can convince time to slow up
Giving me enough time in my life to grow up
Time be my friend, let me start again
Suddenly my world's gone and changed it's face
But I still know where I'm going
I have had my mind spun around in space
And yet I've watched it growing
Oh, If you're list'ning God
Please don't make it hard to know
If we should believe in things that we see
Tell us, should we run away
Should we try and stay
Or would it be better just to let things be?
Living here, in this brand new world
Might be a fantasy
But it taught me to love
So it's real, real to me
And I've learned
That we must look inside our hearts to find
A world full of love
Like yours
Like mine
Like home...
HOME WHERE LOVE IS
OMGoooodnessss!!!!
SANG!!!

DAMN GIRL YOU GOT DEM LUNGS!!! :)
You should leave the lyrics on screen as she is singing them, even if it takes a little bit longer at times.

I'm singing this song at my school
Who’s watching this in 2017? 🤔 has m not the only one ☝️😂
is that a part of a movie entitled wizard of oz??
No. It's from the Wiz. I guess it's basically the same movie... tells the same exact story but The Wiz has an all black cast and different songs.
I have a play at my school i am dorothy. i have to sing that song and the others

Listen to Stephanie Mills! ...... Then tell me what you think of this version
I prefer Stefanie Mills original version, but can appreciate Dianna’s, too. It is the money grubbing Hollywood decision making as to why Stefanie did not also do the film that sticks in the craw of some of us.
2:27
I love you
I can't get with this version after listening to Stefanie Mills kill it. Ross sounds like she's whispering
Vee B I feel the same! Stephanie Mills sanggggg this
Vee B I think the song has to kept in perspective with the rest of the movie. Other artists sing it and it's great, but in this version of the song she is making a wish. It is a whispered prayer. She's been thru all of this stuff and she just wants to go home now. It's beautiful in it's simplicity of being just that - a wish/ a prayer.
the wizard of Oz sing a long
Toto !
Yes I finally hacked my cousin account,!!!! I have to sing this song for my school
I never got why she was crying.
