My mom loved this song. We lost her to cancer in June this year. I knew getting through this part of the year was going to be like navigating a minefield, but I still don't think I was prepared for it. Hug your mom, if you can, while you can.
No one is ready for loosing any parent, ever even with a severe disease. Unfortunately the pain will remain inside you for ever, you will just learn to live with you just need time, that's it. It's hard to understand but that's the cycle of life
@@michaelflagulant Clickbait song, that gets a dislike and a no from me. Thank God, a Leslie wasn't used on this (it's so easy tell if one is there, or not; it's that ugly tall box, invented by a troll who was an opera and silent movie fan). Otherwise, we'd get something out of a dead dago from the 1900s (if the FAST SETTING was on steroids). One of the few times THAT THING is used on this channel. I didn't listen to it and even turned off recommendations for this channel. Got to spread the disapproval somehow.
Yea they kinda killed any joy this song had when they superimposed the abused dogs and messages about shelter statistics.. this is like a whole new song.
I've been listening to this song for around 25 years. Everybody else loves it. I never did. This is the first time in all those years that this song has blown me away. This is what the song was always meant to be. Congrats to everybody involved with this production.
Omg, completely agree!! This is unbelievable. I was shocked the first time I heard it… how can this be sooo damn good when I dislike the original?! Haha! Man, this gal’s voice is unreal. I love It!! 😍🥰
🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂 This song has always affected me... I am sorry for your loss. I am here to chat if YT will notify me of your reply and you feel the need to do so.
Baaaaaaby - that voice. I love PMJ and I am a fan of certain singers, but this voice gave me literal chills. I felt a tear well up in my eyes - I can’t explain it. She can come to the cookout and eat first.
I'm not sure if this is going to make sense, but the overlap of Sarah's voice with the woodwind instruments felt like the sea and sky merging in the horizon in a hazy afternoon. It really works.
I love this song so much and this cover is astounding. I'm so glad people can finally listen to this song for being a beautiful song without associating it with the animal shelters.
Eh, it's still going to need a few rounds to shake off that association. Not saying you didn't do a good job. It's just that the song is so entrenched in being associated with animal shelters and abuse.
Gawd - I love her voice! She's got just the perfect rasp combined with the high notes. I'd love to hear more from her, most definitely. BTW, I love her dress too!
Those poor puppies! Can't listen to the original any more... but here that voice kicks in and just doesn't quit... every note, every expression carrying the heart and soul of the song. Magnificent...
God I was sick of this song. It played on every sad commercial ever that wanted my money. This though, wow. This is incredible. A complete redemption of the song in my eyes.
I know why it is called soul music, 'cause mine left my body and soared to heaven, all this while Miss Potenza slayed it with that beautiful voice of hers.
You know, that one time when you just can't think of anything to listen to after a great great perform? I'm like that now, I've got nothing, nothing, not one more thing to listen to.
I'm always listening to music, and this song is one of those rare ones that when it's done, my entire body just has to take a moment to process that it just got to listen to something so....just beyond. My sincere thanks to everyone involved.
I lost my only sister, Angelina, and she passed away in a hotel room. This song took on a whole new heartbeaking meaning to me in 2017...she would have LOVED this version. Thank you for this!! (She loved all things NOLA, we even played the jazz funeral procession at her gravesite). I'm both crying and comforted listening to this right now 💜💛
Thank you for remaking a beautiful song that has suffered from so much over exposure. I can listen to this version and remember when it was originally released without all the excess baggage.
Sarah. Is. A. Goddess. She was my favorite on the voice to the point I kept following her after she exited the show. Several seasons past and she's still one of my favs. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My mom loved this song. We lost her to cancer in June this year. I knew getting through this part of the year was going to be like navigating a minefield, but I still don't think I was prepared for it. Hug your mom, if you can, while you can.
So sorry for your loss 💜🕯️💜 hope you have ppl around to share the memories with in this first winter season without her.
My mom was never comfortable with hugs. She would unwrap my arms. Your mom blessed you with her arms.
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️
Sending healing hugs 🫂

That dress! That voice! That band! The elegance. So beautiful! So powerful. I'm so impressed.
That Roboter suit! Nice, wonderful
She is amazing on it!!!

So many memories of sad puppies
Lol nooooo
🐶
😂😂
I tell my students that whenever they can't stop laughing, they should picture the ASPCA commercial.
I am continually amazed that PMJ so often does a cover better than the original.
A cover to put weary hearts at ease
I'm leaving my comment here so when someone likes it, I can listen to this masterpiece again.
come back
@@dustyb58 man, I really needed to listen this song again.
Like!!!
think of the sad puppies!
It is time my friend for another listen
WOW AND WOW what a great powerful voice and such a great song to sing it on . I'M IN LOVE!!!!!!!! Would love to see her live in concert.
You go girl! Hometown girl. We love you Sarah,!
Wow. This arrangement is spectacular, but Sara's voice is everything.
FINALLY!! I can listen to this song again without being reminded of abused animals. This version is so uplifting and joyful.
Yes, I know exactly what you're talking about.This woman has great pipes
Yea they kinda killed any joy this song had when they superimposed the abused dogs and messages about shelter statistics.. this is like a whole new song.
🤣🤣🤣
@@MFnDahk This song is about a heroin overdose, so it was always riding the sad edge.
@@BrBill tf you comparing overdosing to animal abuse? Share what you're smoking.
What a pair of lungs! You took one of my favourite songs and made it better. Well done to all who were involved . Thank you
Wow!! She took us all to church with that voice today
You should see her live, she is amazingly powerful and soulful.
I've been listening to this song for around 25 years. Everybody else loves it. I never did. This is the first time in all those years that this song has blown me away. This is what the song was always meant to be. Congrats to everybody involved with this production.
I agree!
damn now i realize it IS 25 years ago ....
100%
same! this rendition hits so differently.
Omg, completely agree!! This is unbelievable. I was shocked the first time I heard it… how can this be sooo damn good when I dislike the original?! Haha! Man, this gal’s voice is unreal. I love It!! 😍🥰
My dear friend just passed. Missing her.

Now, THIS version, I LIKE.
Thank heavens for recommendations such as this, no matter if it's from a special person or random algorithm. 🙏
I'm not sure if this is going to make sense, but the overlap of Sarah's voice with the woodwind instruments felt like the sea and sky merging in the horizon in a hazy afternoon. It really works.
Actually that…yeah that makes perfect sense 🤔
oh my. what a voice.
Suddenly Angel' became a soul song - worthy of Aretha .... love it !
The original version is a masterpiece. Such a beautiful song. PMJ version: Next-level masterpiece. Loved this.
ABSOLUTLY!
Goosebumps and tears here!!!!
Why? Why do I doubt these people? Everything they touch turns to gold.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I love Sarah Potenza and what she can do with a song! More please, MORE!!!!
Yes, please! 🥰
I wish there was a love button!
She knocked them dead on AGT. So glad she is getting the attention she deserves.
I love this song so much and this cover is astounding.
I'm so glad people can finally listen to this song for being a beautiful song without associating it with the animal shelters.
Lol I was 100% thinking the same thing
Well, I could until you said that… damn.
lol. Or being in HS seeing "city of angels" in theaters and just bawling my face off through the movie to the drive home.
@@gtjs1119 I was trying to figure out how I knew this song. Damn.
Eh, it's still going to need a few rounds to shake off that association. Not saying you didn't do a good job. It's just that the song is so entrenched in being associated with animal shelters and abuse.
Never a fan of the song but SHE made it GREAT! Such a blues singer... WOW!
DAAAAAAAAAAMMMN!!!
Mmmm, That Voice!
oh wow. wow, wow, wow.
Gawd - I love her voice! She's got just the perfect rasp combined with the high notes. I'd love to hear more from her, most definitely.
BTW, I love her dress too!
Hate hate this song absolutely love this version and what a voice
Her voice is stunning, and so is that dress!
Wooooooooooooow, what a voice, what a beautiful woman!
Wow, I knew this song had more potential than serving as a soundtrack for a sad fundraiser TV commercial.
What a gift this lady is.
Holy hell what a voice
THAT. DRESS. IS. *AMAZING*
Those poor puppies! Can't listen to the original any more... but here that voice kicks in and just doesn't quit... every note, every expression carrying the heart and soul of the song. Magnificent...
Love love love this singer. Great singing, great song.
She has an iconic voice.
A master class in vocal performance. Impeccable phrasing and style.
Perfecto
This version is my wedding song
Fabulous
Wow, she's gorgeous! Such a beautiful voice!
I didn't think of a sad puppy or kitty once! That's amazing! Beautifully done 😍
I get you!
This comment made me snort so hard! But you’re absolutely right.
😂
Never in my life I think someone could totally New Orleans blues style this song! EPIC!
God I was sick of this song. It played on every sad commercial ever that wanted my money.
This though, wow. This is incredible. A complete redemption of the song in my eyes.
Same.
Amazing.
I know why it is called soul music, 'cause mine left my body and soared to heaven, all this while Miss Potenza slayed it with that beautiful voice of hers.
JEEZ, from the 1st tones, hit with pure intention and gravitas of the song. 🤯
The dress and her voice. 🔥
This would get a standing ovation at The Apollo
top top top parabéns!!!!
My wife and I saw them at the Hard Rock in Houston last night. Definitely one of the standout performers.
Thank you for making this song enjoyable and not depressing
Goodness gracious !!!!! Wow! Bravo. What an incredible voice. Fabulous!!!!
You know, that one time when you just can't think of anything to listen to after a great great perform? I'm like that now, I've got nothing, nothing, not one more thing to listen to.

If you close your eyes and just feel her voice. This song feels like it was made back in the day. Damn she has some soul. Love her voice
Great voice and rendition, love that dress!, and the band was great.

Love the rendition,
Her voice just sent me to heaven!
