Oh dang… vocals are so stunning! This is likely the best version I’ve ever heard done of this song. Absolute perfection as Jen always does. I knew how amazing she was way back from idol. I knew she was the best way back then… even though America was clueless. Still today I believe quite possibly she’s best female vocal in world. I know that’s huge… I stand behind it 100%
The first time, ever i saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and the stars Were the gifts you gave To the dark, and the endless skies My love To the dark, and the endless skies And the first time, ever i kissed your mouth I felt the earth move in my hands Like the trembling heart Of a captive bird That was there, at my command My love That was there, at my command My love And the first time, ever I lay with you I felt your heart so close to mine And i knew our joy Would fill the earth And last, til the end of time My love And it would last, til the end of time My love The first time, ever I saw Your face Your face Your face Your face
Jennifer Hudson’s voice is versatile and so powerful. I still prefer the passion and awe in Roberta Flack’s version. It speaks to the passion and reverence I have for my wife of nearly 47 years. But only a fool would try to find fault with Hudson’s voice - amazing!
I love JHud and want to be a fan of her music as I am of her person, but the music does not represent her well to me, with the exception of some songs. However, let me say this, this gave me chills! I love when she does not over sing a song. This was just beautiful and showcases the beauty of her voice instead of the power.
Ms.Angie.., dunno if U've watched the other one by Leona Lewis. Yee..up, this 1's very good too..Can probably be regarded as maybe on par with each another's (Ms.Roberta & Jenni's) own rendition of this #. Dunno how U make 'em all.., U be th' judg Ma'am. After listenin' to the many available versions here, I'm of the opinion only 2 others ; namely Ms.Jenni & Lewis' stood-out, sounding closest to or as good as the original. Howevr so, tis so much being only so simply my opinion, alone. Ave a Good Day.or pleasant Evenin' ahead.
Beautiful song Miss Jennifer Hudson, God blessed you Jennifer with a voice of an angel 😇 you continue to give your best with your songs and even the legends as such Aretha Franklin, 💕Al Green,💚 Roberta Flack 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 just to name a few, That makes you a Diva and a legend in your own rights, May God continue to bless you and keep you.
Great to hear the song sang in total again and without the orchestra which always sems to take over, brings me back to the late 60's/70's when it used be sung on its own the strong is strong enough it dosn't need boomoing violins
Amo Leona Lewis ,porém choro com Jennifer hudson que canta com a alma e mostra todo seu talento que ela lutou e está em uma fase muito boa de sua carreira....Jhud é a melhor cantora deste mundo.
Isn't this George Michael song...? However, I love Jennifer Hudson's take on it. #SoulfistecatedFankh #MissChristineChronicles #mamagladysorbirdfoshowt #mamagladyswiththalongname
@@EdisonSaulGeorge Michael did record a live in concert version of this, also. I've read that the songwriter didn't like any version other than his wife's, including Roberta's. I've listened to about 40 versions on Amazon Music, and NONE compare with Roberta, in my humble opinion.
RYAN JARED singing with emotion isn't what I meant by 'her voice is too powerful!' She did a beautiful rendition of this song however I meant her voice is too strong e.g. she has a strong southern church background sound!!
+Galactic Beauty lmao that's the silliest critique I've heard in a while. She's a black woman and she's a powerful singer. If you don't like her full tone, then don't listen to black women cover another woman's song.
Diego Lopez actually Luv I am black therefore I know what I'm talking about !! With that being said, by you stating my comment was silly is just your obtuse way of indirectly stating, 'I have no idea what you're talking about because I'm not spiritually grounded, have NO soul nor might I add... BLACK!' Enjoy your evening... Black 1st One LOVE!!
Love JHud so much! One of my favorites!

One Word Amazing!!!!!!
This lady is amazing
And what a gorgeous looking woman
The first time, ever i saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars
Were the gifts you gave
To the dark, and the endless skies
My love
To the dark, and the endless skies
And the first time, ever i kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart
Of a captive bird
That was there, at my command
My love
That was there, at my command
My love
And the first time, ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And i knew our joy
Would fill the earth
And last, til the end of time
My love
And it would last, til the end of time
My love
The first time, ever I saw
Your face
Your face
Your face
Your face
Thank you for writing out these gorgeous, passionate lyrics....

@@beaggyboy Yes Leona Lewis' version of this song is absolutely breathtaking. It's my favorite version!
The best version is the one by Roberta Flack. Nobody version comes near hers.
I love you more Jennifer ❤️
Preciosa canción... Maravillosá cantante!

Not bad Jen KK
She's beginning to look more like Mary J Blige
The Offa Rex version is the best.
Mmmm. Mmm. Mmm.
Isn't this George Michael song...?
However, I love Jennifer Hudson's take on it.

Her voice is too powerful for that song!
Galactic Beauty no it's not. she sings with such emoticon!

Not feeling it.
Check out Jennifer's updated version of this song. You'll feel differently, guaranteed 💯...the one where she's wearing a lovely black gown
Sorry Jenifer you need to stick to more powerful songs. Leave this one to Roberta Flack.
Oh how wrong you are...beautiful song & singer ❤
Too harsh...slightly out of time with music
That timing is how the original is arranged. It's intentionally between measures.
wrong , very wrong.
Well, Jenifer just spit on a classic song. Horrible she should be fined for a bad and horrible voice. Makes my skin crawl
HRH Royal Prince Jon Dee Wright get out of here
You white
horrible voice, my ears is hurted
....so is your grammar.
she ruin the song! the worst version ever!
She is awesome
❤️❤️❤️❤️
horrible voice, my ears is hurted
