I am 😊 I listen to this Atleast once or twice every other day , sometimes on repeat til I’m ok with whatever is going on in my life currently ! Time heals all things
This song takes me back one evening my father beat my Mom.She was sitting on the couch crying while he drove off.This song was play on TV in the background.That day I promised myself never to lay a hand on my wife.Today I am 41 years old married and never did I ever lay a hand on my wife.I remember those broken days like yesterday.
This is so fitting to me for I'm a Breast Cancer Survivor twice over Thank You Lord....This is a Survivor song from hurt and pain but I also feel it for my life as well it's been a long journey!! August will mark 7 years woot
I bump this everyday in my car. Not because I've been hurt but my mother used to jam the disco version while she cleaned house on Saturdays but this remake has become one of my favs.
This song got me out of DEEP depression when my ex wife divorced me to be with someone else. By the time she realized her mistake (5 years later) I met my current wife who has been my heart for 16+ years now.
She did that, the remake of a classic was done flawlessly. Her version came out when I broke up with my first boyfriend in the 90s, I was 19 years of age, I'm 47 today with a grown man for 22 years. The best line for me was "so long bye-bye" I love it.

100lbs down and nothing but happy tears! "Wasn't you the one that tried to hurt me with goodbye? Did you think I'd crumble, did you think i lay down and DIE!" Love this song!
It's irony how her last name is Savage because she absolutely went beast mode on this song. Love me some Gloria Gaynor, but I gotta give my girl Chantay the nod for this track.
This song saved me through all the crap in my life. I told her how this song saved me and she wrote back and said thank you. She was so humble and sweet. I’ll never forget it! ❤
Gone are the days when life in south africa was good.love was love.a woman would visit you.youll seat under the tree with your girl listening to this kind music.alcohol was not popular those days.youll buy a girl big packet of smoke beef lemon creams,cream soda drink life was good.not now we are lost.may God restore us
amen to that... everytime i play this song it just takes me back to 96 and i remember exactly what i was doing right after high school. music is so freakin powerful!! i remember the mixtapes i had with this version and the remix version of it too :)
Vitamin C I hope so as well!!! I liked SWV, Xscape, and Kelly Price. I always wonder what happened to Chantay. I wouldn't mind seeing her and Jodeci!!! I'm not on Fb sorry.
I used to play the song on my walkman radio back in 1996. one of three covers of this song rock version by Cake and Diana Ross version that came out a year earlier plus the late Aretha Franklin did a version of this song ten years ago. Of the original version done by Gloria Gaynor in 1978.
When i was younger....I knew this song had power but at the age of 36 I experienced heartbreak a few times...dealing with raising a child alone and bills....I know for sure I will survive!!!!!! Even though mentally I'm in such a happy place loving myself again hitting the gym and saying no when necessary!!!!! THIS SONG MESSAGE IS SO POWERFUL AND WILL NEVER GET OLD!!! # oh and she was so beautiful in this video👸🏽👸🏽👸🏽👸🏽👸🏽👸🏽Thank you Queen wherever you at. I hope someone is loving you and you're happy! Keep God first❤
I remember this song playing on the radio every morning as my mom drove me to school. i was only in the 3rd grade then. In my older grown up age one morning on my way to work in the shower this song was playing in my head. Funny how music appears out of thin air. I love the way she sings this song.
I'm from Chicago as is she, and I remember like it was yesterday, this song was hugely popular! This and Donnell Jones stayed in rotation on the radios.
Her voice!!!...Her voice!!! While listening to this...I became so engulfed in the tone and narrative of the song...I was held under Her spell, literally!!! Her voice!!!
One of the most creative and best remakes ever. Love the arrangement, the background vocal arrangements, and that poignant synthesizer line. Perfection! Thanks Shante.
I hope all is well, and yes we do know you have heart broke too. Spoken a many days with my brorhers they have listened to me, and I with them. God bless.
This is when you want the abuse to stop and you realize you don't need him no more you need you and that's all that matters. You got God and you that matters
I HATED THIS SONG IN THE 70'S GLORIA 'S VERSION BUT NOW ...OH MY, OH MY, OH MY, ...CHANTAE PUT IT OUT THERE FORE EVERYBODY TO LOVE...I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT! !!!!
I remember I used to listen to this song everyday 6 years ago after a boy I used to love the most took my virginity and broke up with me. I felt like it was the end of the world and I was losing myself. Looking back I can't believe I'm here today, God has blessed me with a man who has shown me love, he's the one who helped me heal and reminded me that I'm worthy to be loved. I guess I had to go through the worst to appreciate what I have now
A classic song from the late 1990's when I was in kittrell job corps center in North Carolina. This is a true song of survival for everyone going or having gone through something and now you can hold your head up high. God is definitely good. Chante savage did a fantastic job on this song. Thank you for rewriting a classic song and bringing so many people THROUGH THE STORM, Chante' !!
This song was absolutely amazing! It's 2024 and this song means more now than it did back then for so many people! This is a TRUE ANTHEM for so many people.
I remember trying to mimic Chantay's vocal style when I sing that song in high school, just to channel her sassy personality. I loved Gloria's version but Chantay's take was soulful and so 90's. I was going through my problems as a teenager: fake love, rejection and being bullied for being gay so this song is still my pick me up jam. Thank you Chantay Savage
My cousin used to play this Song none stop every Sunday while she's cleaning the house I was about 5/6 that time this tune was my childhood soundtrack, I love it till today
I was afraid, I was petrified Thinkin' I could never live without you by my side And now I've spent so many nights Thinkin' how you did me wrong But I grew strong, I learned how to get along To you're back from outer space I just walked in to find you here With that sad look upon your face I should have changed all the locks I should have made you leave your key If I had known for just one second You'd be back to bother me Oh, now go, walk out the door Just turn around now 'Coz you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me With goodbye, did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down an' die? Oh no, not I, I will survive Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive 'Coz I got all my life to live And I got all my love to give And I will survive, I will survive Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me With goodbye? Took all the strength I had not to fall apart Tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart And I spent so many nights Feeling sorry for myself, I used to cry But now I hold my head up high And you see me, somebody new I'm not that chained up little person That still in love with you An' so you feet like droppin' in An' thinkin' that I would be free But now I'm savin' all my lovin' For someone who's lovin' me Oh, now go, walk out the door Just turn around now 'Coz you're not welcome anymore, no Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me With goodbye, did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not I, I will survive Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive 'Coz I got all my life to live And I got all my love to give And I will survive, yes, I will, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah If you wanna know do I need you? No, no, no I will, I will, I will, I will survive So long, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye So long, bye, bye, bye, bye So long, bye, bye, bye, bye So long, bye, bye, bye, bye So long, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye So long, bye, bye, bye, bye So long, bye, bye, bye, bye So long, bye, bye, bye, bye I will, I will, I will survive
When someone walks out your life, it’s God removing them.They’re not suppose to be in your life, they only had a reason or season, but not a lifetime. God’s grace gives us strength to SURVIVE!
It's hard to give up on someone you love. I'm still in love with my ex girl,but I'm not what she wants so,all I can do is hold my head up and move on. Love hurts, y'all.
Throwbackkkk! Where Chantay at? I remember this joint. I survived escaping a full fledge narcissistic sociopathic energy vampire dem0n. All Praise to The Most High!
I Will Survive out here in these streets alone I know my man is in prison doing five years as long as I have God on my side that's all I need maybe this is a spiritual awakening telling me to move on with my life Play It's Hard Out Here cuz I'm always thinking of him
sometimes i have regrets to leave my ex thats doing time in prison but i tried that prison wives shit an it was not easy an then we aint gone talk about the visitation process omg be strong follow your intuition not your heart
This was a real good remake of this song. Chantay was a talented singer I thought she was gonna blow up. I wonder what happened to her because she is unsung for real.
She said she does alot of behind the scenes of music now such as mentoring, writing songs, arranging songs, etc, she said she's working with some up and coming artists.
yesterday the father of my child came to see him after 6 months, i told him our little boy wasnt doing well at school. he started with the blame game, telling me i wasnt doing enough. i acknowledged i had to do more towards or son's education but he kept on persisting with the accusations. this time i avoided the confrontation, the arguments. i am done, i am different, i walked away peacefully. until he realises the impact of his absence as a father, until he acknowledges he is not contributing enough and that he is not merely doing me a favour by checking on our son. perhaps until he takes responsibility and commits to raising his son. then, ONLY then we can have a conversation. this song speaks so much to me. even though i am strugling as a single mother. i will survive, i will raise my son to the best of my abilities. Son, i will do all i can, i promise, i will survive. WE WILL SURVIVE.
Leungo Rakola To be honest I hope you aren't. You're extremely beautiful and I can tell by your braids that you're from an island somewhere. You are beautiful ms. Self employed. What is out you do for a living ? Then again how many men in the 6 months your b dad was gone ??? I deleted the comments because unlike me you put your real name up and anyone can view you on Facebook. I talk shit for my own personal entertainment never meaning anything by it. I don't want some dumb ass trading my post the facebooking your name.
talkin shit thank you for deleting those comments. although u say you said those words for entertainmnt but u will never know how some1 on th other end would receive them. some ppl r weak n others hv really thick skin. u will never really knw wat sum1 is goin thru n what yo words can do to te them. but like i said im not like anything u refered to. so we cool. thank u for the compliments. stay blessed.
talkin shit to answer your questions. i am a chattered accountant, im not promiscous, i do not live in an island. i am from the motherland. i am from AFRICA.
I was only 13 when this song came out, and I remember buying this single from Camelot and playing it over and over. I would sing my little heart out, what did I know about surviving?? lol
Greatest cover of ALL TIME FOR ME. I remember when I was like 7 or 8 when this came out. This made me wanna sing, and now, I sing. When she sings that "and you see meeee..." and "so long buh-buh-buy baybay," my heart MELTS. Takes me back to drives home from family events (a family full of singers) in the 90s 🥹🙂❤️🙏🏾
After losing my older sister to a gun shot by our brother who is in prison for a 130 years to life only 22 years ago my heart was torn apart during only at 32 she woulda been 54 years old today I was heart broken then only 7 months pregnant with my oldest daughter Adrennie Michelle Armstead at the age of 23 years old now I am 45 years old . Then February 18, 2009 I was in the car accident while I was 8 months pregnant with my youngest son Jermone Armstead Jr. I had suffered a life threatening injuries and while carrying my baby boy who's is now 7 will be 8 years old on March 13 2009 but we both survive when I walk out the hospital still pregnant and alive on February 24, and with my husband Jermone Armstead Sr. And my family was on my side when I gave birth to our youngest son Jermone Michell Armstead Jr. on March 13, 2009. I am so great to God for my children, my husband, and my family. My great grandmother had told me and my family we will survive because God knows how we feel, he knows our struggles, crying , sleepless nights , and sorrows. Then two months ago I just lost my niece to a stabbing to death so it was hard for me and my family now but I still have my great grandmother's advice who's is resting in heaven My family will survive someday I will see my sister, my niece Sabrina Armstead and all of my loved one in heaven. Not only that God kept us alive but we had survive that is why I love Chantay Savage's song " I will survive " was the message for me and all of people that we can and we will survive no matter what people said about my testimony if you don't know what I had went through and how I survived then don't cruized nor don't judge until you went through something yourself.
timmyyyt 0 Excuse me ?!!! Hold the hell up look you don't tell me to shut the fuck up on my own mouth first of all this my own story my own testimony so I don't appreciate what you had comment on my own testimony of my story that I put so you don't have to like it. And you don't know what I had went through when my family and I did lost my sister, surviving the car accident that my son and I could have died , and my niece's death so I am going to keep on sharing my testimony by the grace of God I am still here , my son who is now 7, my marriage, and my whole family is a survivor so you can shut the fuck up on that 😠😠😠😡😡😡

Landon chong Thanks much and how's your mum?
Turning the original disco version into a slow-jam was just pure genious! One of the few times that I loved a remake more than the original.
Yes it was...
Allen carter my sentiments exactly!!!
I did not even like the original but never cared for disco anyways.
listening to this in the car...OMG!!!
I bump this everyday in my car. Not because I've been hurt but my mother used to jam the disco version while she cleaned house on Saturdays but this remake has become one of my favs.
her makeup in this video is absolutely flawless.
I absolutely love how she made this song her own.
This song got me out of DEEP depression when my ex wife divorced me to be with someone else. By the time she realized her mistake (5 years later) I met my current wife who has been my heart for 16+ years now.
Welcome Back. Enjoy!!
AWWW GOD IS GOOD.
Sometimes devastating things happen to us and we have no clue it is the gateway to something better.
Love this...hoping my outcome will be the same.
@@meganwilliams8536 It will.
Man, oh man. This is that healing music that I miss from the 90's. Here it is in 2023, and listening to this just calmed my soul. Beautiful!
Thank you for this Ballad of Survival!! I walked away from an abusive relationship. I survived!!!! Amen🎉😊😊😊
Yeah you did😎💪💫
Blessings
Good for you xx
Amen
🙏🏽
She did that, the remake of a classic was done flawlessly. Her version came out when I broke up with my first boyfriend in the 90s, I was 19 years of age, I'm 47 today with a grown man for 22 years. The best line for me was "so long bye-bye" I love it.
Black women are soo beautiful. Her voice is so strong 💪🏾
Yes our black women are beautiful.
I think so too, except the angry one related to white Karens
Yes unique looks and talents
I’m a black girl, ty for noticing us! 🥰☺️

I used to play the song on my walkman radio back in 1996. one of three covers of this song rock version by Cake and Diana Ross version that came out a year earlier plus the late Aretha Franklin did a version of this song ten years ago. Of the original version done by Gloria Gaynor in 1978.
Yes
She was on track to be one heck of an R&B singer, I wonder what happened?
God knows she poured her heart out in this song!
🎵🎶🎼🎤
RCA Records wasn't pushing her.
She probably didn’t want to sell her soul🤷🏽♂️
@@hesmlurh2467how is that label still in business they literally don’t push anyone even now..

This song saved my life !!!
Chile!!!! Chantay sang her face off!! This song plays daily in my home and car!! In my opinion it's better than the original!! Love ya Gloria💞😘💃🏽
This takes me back to the old days when I was a kid now I’m 40 I always love this version
Hey I'm 58. I saw how serious it was back then and still is. !!!!!!
Best Version. the Radio offerings today are pure goat tripe.
I'm 43 I was in the 10th Grade when I bought her album back in 95
The WGCI days
Besides MJB I rarely like when songs are remade. This one is good!
a great remake! Fell in love with the song as a kid when it was first released (1996)
abenjam2 I agree. It has that great 90s vibe to it. She remade this song very well.
Me too! I love this song❤
I searched for this version for years but couldn't remember her name or the name of the track...finally stumbled upon it just now!!!!on repeat
Me too
She nailed it! knocked it out the park. I absolutely LOVEEEEEE this song.
I'm from Chicago as is she, and I remember like it was yesterday, this song was hugely popular! This and Donnell Jones stayed in rotation on the radios.

Those background vocals are fire!!!
Had to listen to it on the headphones just to catch it all.
@@Allencartercomixyeah I know
I love how she put her own twist on the song. She killed it!!!
Chantay ,where are YOU!! you're VOICE IS MORE POWERFUL AND SOULFUL ,THAN WHATS OUT HERE!!! You just hold on i got you, CHI-TOWN IN THE HOUSE!!!!
R&B Divas maybe??? Her and Blu Cantrell :) Yaaassss!
Yes!! they should reach out !
Damn....Nothing like a rainy 6:00am drive to high school listening to this in 1996.
YASSSS !!!!!!
I used to love watching this vid on "The Box" from the 90's! Chantay is so beautiful!
I wonder if she knew she was making a lifetime hit... 2020 I'm still listening. Savage indeed!!! ❤
When you lose feelings for the person, who's done nothing but hurt you
+Angie Dee True and it's a struggle sister!
+s2ace1 yes Ma'am 💯! And it's a great feeling when those feelings are finally over
Yes, you said it sista!
+Angie Dee yes because it's time that he feels how it Is not to have you in his life. When enough is finally enough!
thank-you I agree!
I remember when my ex dumped me. I played this song over and over again...yes ladies, men can have their hearts broken too!
ERIC MATTHEWS 😒😑
I hope all is well, and yes we do know you have heart broke too. Spoken a many days with my brorhers they have listened to me, and I with them. God bless.
2023... Still one of my favorites ❤️❤️
This is when you want the abuse to stop and you realize you don't need him no more you need you and that's all that matters. You got God and you that matters
A great remake of Gloria Gaynor's I will survive. Love the video too. This song truly gets to me. I enjoy it far more than the original.
her voice reminds me of Heather Headley
agreed
I hear a little Anita Baker. Especially the arrangement
I hear a little Regina Bell, the lady sings she knocks me o.ut
Yeah, most say she sounds like a mix of Anita Baker and Heather Headley.
I do hear a little Anita Baker but Chantay has made this song her own..
I also prefer this to the original. That rarely happens.
Golden Goddess she put that soul to it
the 1st is an upbeat disco this is a slow jam rnb i love both
Love you okay
Yessss, I absolutely agree. The remake is amazing, she is incredible.......
Same here
I HATED THIS SONG IN THE 70'S GLORIA 'S VERSION BUT NOW ...OH MY, OH MY, OH MY, ...CHANTAE PUT IT OUT THERE FORE EVERYBODY TO LOVE...I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT! !!!!
FACTS!
AGREED
I hope tv one does an unsung episode on chantay savage and I encourage you to go to tv one's Facebook page and tell them to do it.
I remember I used to listen to this song everyday 6 years ago after a boy I used to love the most took my virginity and broke up with me. I felt like it was the end of the world and I was losing myself. Looking back I can't believe I'm here today, God has blessed me with a man who has shown me love, he's the one who helped me heal and reminded me that I'm worthy to be loved. I guess I had to go through the worst to appreciate what I have now
Mine raped me and took my virginity and left me for my best friend... they are now married and they have a kid... but i used this song ...
Who’s still LISTENING in 2019? 🎵🖤🎶
2020 ❤️
2024
R&B at its finest. Love this song!
if it's not good bye!!!!
Yes I agree
She took this song and made it her own.... tastefully i might add....i love the 90s....take me back neeoowww...my highschool graduation year....c/o 96
A classic song from the late 1990's when I was in kittrell job corps center in North Carolina. This is a true song of survival for everyone going or having gone through something and now you can hold your head up high. God is definitely good. Chante savage did a fantastic job on this song. Thank you for rewriting a classic song and bringing so many people THROUGH THE STORM, Chante' !!
Have been listening to this for close to 30 years. She absolutely murdered this song. Better than the original in my opinion
Lost my husband 12 years ago. 02/26/2011. This song reminds me how far ive come and what i made it through.
2024 Where is Chantay Savage?❤❤❤
The best version of this track I love it
Yes it is
Truth!!!!!
This is the o me remake that I feel is better than the original. It’s genius!
danny..... so so true!!!
Loved this from the first time I heard it back in the day.
Nikki B agree with you so much. In fact I didn't even hear the original first... I heard it later and thought oh no!!!! Love this one way better!!!!
Those Hot ass Summer Night of the late 90s. .."this song" sheweww
They were the best 💐💖
What an era! ❤
I used to record this off the radio. Play this over and over. I loved her make up on this video. I miss the 90’s!
Chante Savage delivered this so beautifully ❤
WOW this is nice! Sounds like a song that would have been on the Boomerang soundtrack. Beautiful!
One of the best remakes EVER!!!
I THINK SO TOO
Yup.
YASSSS
She naturally sang this song! I loved this arrangement!
This song was absolutely amazing! It's 2024 and this song means more now than it did back then for so many people! This is a TRUE ANTHEM for so many people.
I remember trying to mimic Chantay's vocal style when I sing that song in high school, just to channel her sassy personality. I loved Gloria's version but Chantay's take was soulful and so 90's. I was going through my problems as a teenager: fake love, rejection and being bullied for being gay so this song is still my pick me up jam. Thank you Chantay Savage
My cousin used to play this Song none stop every Sunday while she's cleaning the house I was about 5/6 that time this tune was my childhood soundtrack, I love it till today
I was afraid, I was petrified
Thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
And now I've spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
But I grew strong, I learned how to get along
To you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
With that sad look upon your face
I should have changed all the locks
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me
Oh, now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Coz you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me
With goodbye, did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down an' die?
Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
'Coz I got all my life to live
And I got all my love to give
And I will survive, I will survive
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me
With goodbye?
Took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent so many nights
Feeling sorry for myself, I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
That still in love with you
An' so you feet like droppin' in
An' thinkin' that I would be free
But now I'm savin' all my lovin'
For someone who's lovin' me
Oh, now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Coz you're not welcome anymore, no
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me
With goodbye, did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
'Coz I got all my life to live
And I got all my love to give
And I will survive, yes, I will, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If you wanna know do I need you?
No, no, no
I will, I will, I will, I will survive
So long, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
So long, bye, bye, bye, bye
So long, bye, bye, bye, bye
So long, bye, bye, bye, bye
So long, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
So long, bye, bye, bye, bye
So long, bye, bye, bye, bye
So long, bye, bye, bye, bye
I will, I will, I will survive
Asuka Ytb...thank you 😉
Thank you
I love you for putting the lyrics up!
Supreme Black woman in all her glory. Survive like no other.
When someone walks out your life, it’s God removing them.They’re not suppose to be in your life, they only had a reason or season, but not a lifetime. God’s grace gives us strength to SURVIVE!
It's hard to give up on someone you love. I'm still in love with my ex girl,but I'm not what she wants so,all I can do is hold my head up and move on. Love hurts, y'all.
So true
Nice remake...always loved this one.
Who’s here May 2024❤❤❤❤
Throwbackkkk! Where Chantay at? I remember this joint. I survived escaping a full fledge narcissistic sociopathic energy vampire dem0n. All Praise to The Most High!
Yes. She didn't sing. She sang it. Love her version.
I Will Survive out here in these streets alone I know my man is in prison doing five years as long as I have God on my side that's all I need maybe this is a spiritual awakening telling me to move on with my life Play It's Hard Out Here cuz I'm always thinking of him
sometimes i have regrets to leave my ex thats doing time in prison but i tried that prison wives shit an it was not easy an then we aint gone talk about the visitation process omg be strong follow your intuition not your heart
I use to cry but now I hold my head up high yasssss
Tina Cooper ..good 4 you...dont waste ur tears.
Real music
More power to you,sis.
Yessssss but we made it
Yes!!!!!!!!
Still one of the best remakes I've ever heard. Savage was definitely underrated.
I got goosebumps all over my body listening to this version. ❤
This reminds me of video soul all day, or midnight love on BET. She killed this, love this!
She looks absolutely Flawless! She laid this song out! Point blank, periodt!!!🎤❤️
I can’t explain how much I love this dang song.
I bought it back in the day. This version is everything. That ending is my fav part.
This was a real good remake of this song. Chantay was a talented singer I thought she was gonna blow up. I wonder what happened to her because she is unsung for real.
She said she does alot of behind the scenes of music now such as mentoring, writing songs, arranging songs, etc, she said she's working with some up and coming artists.
yesterday the father of my child came to see him after 6 months, i told him our little boy wasnt doing well at school. he started with the blame game, telling me i wasnt doing enough. i acknowledged i had to do more towards or son's education but he kept on persisting with the accusations. this time i avoided the confrontation, the arguments. i am done, i am different, i walked away peacefully. until he realises the impact of his absence as a father, until he acknowledges he is not contributing enough and that he is not merely doing me a favour by checking on our son. perhaps until he takes responsibility and commits to raising his son. then, ONLY then we can have a conversation.
this song speaks so much to me. even though i am strugling as a single mother. i will survive, i will raise my son to the best of my abilities. Son, i will do all i can, i promise, i will survive. WE WILL SURVIVE.
talkin shit I will pray for you.
All this was really not necessary. I'm nothing of what you describe here Sir.
Leungo Rakola To be honest I hope you aren't. You're extremely beautiful and I can tell by your braids that you're from an island somewhere. You are beautiful ms. Self employed. What is out you do for a living ? Then again how many men in the 6 months your b dad was gone ??? I deleted the comments because unlike me you put your real name up and anyone can view you on Facebook. I talk shit for my own personal entertainment never meaning anything by it. I don't want some dumb ass trading my post the facebooking your name.
talkin shit thank you for deleting those comments. although u say you said those words for entertainmnt but u will never know how some1 on th other end would receive them. some ppl r weak n others hv really thick skin. u will never really knw wat sum1 is goin thru n what yo words can do to te
them. but like i said im not like anything u refered to. so we cool. thank u for the compliments. stay blessed.
talkin shit to answer your questions. i am a chattered accountant, im not promiscous, i do not live in an island. i am from the motherland. i am from AFRICA.
This song is sweeter than pancake syrup, It's got such a chill vibe, it's a favorite...
Feels so Anita Baker. I love THIS! Her voice is beautiful! Lovely remake
Yes, she did give those Anita Baker vibes.
I was only 13 when this song came out, and I remember buying this single from Camelot and playing it over and over. I would sing my little heart out, what did I know about surviving?? lol
Boi the way she sings this cover its amazing its even better than the original version God give some pupil a beautiful voice this is one of them.
tv one should do an unsung episode on chantay savage.and I encourage you to go to tv one's Facebook page and tell them to do it.
Erich Pengel I've always loved this version. Not a fan of the original.....
This is HOW you do a classic cover, and make it itself a classic!!❤
Greatest cover of ALL TIME FOR ME. I remember when I was like 7 or 8 when this came out. This made me wanna sing, and now, I sing. When she sings that "and you see meeee..." and "so long buh-buh-buy baybay," my heart MELTS. Takes me back to drives home from family events (a family full of singers) in the 90s 🥹🙂❤️🙏🏾
Oh GOD I’m trying to listen to this song and heal man he really hurt me😞
I hope you're ok today in 2024😊
After losing my older sister to a gun shot by our brother who is in prison for a 130 years to life only 22 years ago my heart was torn apart during only at 32 she woulda been 54 years old today I was heart broken then only 7 months pregnant with my oldest daughter Adrennie Michelle Armstead at the age of 23 years old now I am 45 years old . Then February 18, 2009 I was in the car accident while I was 8 months pregnant with my youngest son Jermone Armstead Jr. I had suffered a life threatening injuries and while carrying my baby boy who's is now 7 will be 8 years old on March 13 2009 but we both survive when I walk out the hospital still pregnant and alive on February 24, and with my husband Jermone Armstead Sr. And my family was on my side when I gave birth to our youngest son Jermone Michell Armstead Jr. on March 13, 2009. I am so great to God for my children, my husband, and my family. My great grandmother had told me and my family we will survive because God knows how we feel, he knows our struggles, crying , sleepless nights , and sorrows. Then two months ago I just lost my niece to a stabbing to death so it was hard for me and my family now but I still have my great grandmother's advice who's is resting in heaven My family will survive someday I will see my sister, my niece Sabrina Armstead and all of my loved one in heaven. Not only that God kept us alive but we had survive that is why I love Chantay Savage's song " I will survive " was the message for me and all of people that we can and we will survive no matter what people said about my testimony if you don't know what I had went through and how I survived then don't cruized nor don't judge until you went through something yourself.
timmyyyt 0 Excuse me ?!!! Hold the hell up look you don't tell me to shut the fuck up on my own mouth first of all this my own story my own testimony so I don't appreciate what you had comment on my own testimony of my story that I put so you don't have to like it. And you don't know what I had went through when my family and I did lost my sister, surviving the car accident that my son and I could have died , and my niece's death so I am going to keep on sharing my testimony by the grace of God I am still here , my son who is now 7, my marriage, and my whole family is a survivor so you can shut the fuck up on that 😠😠😠😡😡😡
I hope tv one does an unsung episode on chantay savage and I encourage you to go to tv one's Facebook page and tell them to do it.
Vitamin C Thank you and I do appreciate it .
Oh my, the Creator loves you, you have a purpose. I send nothing but peace & prosperity and positive vibrations to you....
Well God bless you ... that’s a lot for anyone to deal with
Who is listening now??
