Yes! this is the most powerful song I've ever heard! there are very few songs that can do to & for me what this song does. So raw, so hauntingly beautiful & captivating!!!
Yes, I Know. Exists Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Maria Callas, Beyonce, whatever you want. But If you ask me, right now, whats the best female performance EVER , whats the most technically difficult song for any female singer, it is this. In no other circumstance can you find such hard song to sing like this who could transmit such feeling . This song moves each fiber on you an the first six notes and you simply can't escape of that feeling. Underrated.
+Arkantos Yes, yes, yes! I did this song for a recital and currently trying to record it. I'm a soprano and it is A HARD SONG TO SING. THIS SONG TAKES LOTS OF BREATH CONTROL AMONGST OTHER THINGS. I stopped rehearsing this song and I lost what I learned. Now, I have to do it all over again.
+Arkantos Thank you. I did another recital and sang 'Oh Holy Night' Memory 'Cats' "Ave Maria" Bach and Gounod and Silent Night. Now I'm going to the "Voice" in Philadelphia and my voice teacher wants me to use this song for an audition. Have a happy New Year!
her song is beautiful but I think her chorus was inspired by Jevetta Steele singing Bob Telson's composition Calling You, ua-cam.com/video/nk7mCmgzpPE/v-deo.html which is from 1988...............Jevetta also has amazing vocal control
Pride can stand a thousand trials The strong will never fall But watching stars without you My soul cries Heaving heart is full of pain Oooh, oooh, the aching 'Cause I'm kissing you, oooh I'm kissing you, oooh Touch me deep, pure and true Give to me forever 'Cause I'm kissing you, oooh I'm kissing you, oooh Where are you now Where are you now 'Cause I'm kissing you I'm kissing you, oooh
Everything about this performance was quite mesmerizing! Stunning! Brilliant! Beautiful! Her voice, natural beauty, stage presence, tone, total vocal & breath control, the look in her eyes towards the camera, etc. So captivating!
I was 9 when I first heard this and I instantly fell in love with it ever since! Definitely had a crush on des'ree and still do to this day! Her voice is like heaven sent. Wish she would still make music to this day it's kinda sad she doesn't because I'm a huge fan and with what's being played in today's radio's I just come on here (UA-cam) and look up classic good music like this to satisfied my music crave. Des'ree forever.
Agree! I was playing (miming) piano on this performance and during soundcheck she asked me if i would mind NOT pressing the keys down on the piano because it was distracting to hear both what i was playing and the backing track! So that was kind of strange for me! She was a lovely lady though and an incredible talent. Her vocal he is 100% live.
She could have been up there with Whitney, Toni, Mariah in the 90's but people (black people) had the nerve to say her music wasn't black enough... Prince, Seal and Stevie wonder saw her talent, it's such a shame the United States music industry was so damn divided.
BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO !!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏿👏🏿👏🏽👏🏽👏🏿👏🏿 I heard this song years ago, and every time I hear this BEAUTIFUL QUEEN sing this song I am spellbound with her voice, controlled breathing, balanced tone, etc..... Such an Amazing Singer, and she is filled with graceful class !!! 💖💞💗
Who's is listening to this in September 2021? One of the best love songs of all time. If you Ever have loved and had your Heart broken...this hits everytime... love in it's Purest form..
omg its the way she sings this song with so much emotions , omg i feel like shes really missing the person that she wants to hold and kiss . i feel this song in my soul . but its the voice and the notes of this song . omg i live for this song
Beautiful x infinity!! Stunning in every aspect there is! Those dimples...Sheesh! This song cuts me to the core every time! Absolutely in love with it. Only Des'rée!!
I love this song!!! No one can EVER sing... Ever! I've found ONE cover that can satisfy me. My GOSH, this STILL gives me goosebumps like the very first time ! Thank you Des'ree for this gem!
This voice...is so beautiful...I miss her presence.. I started listening to her in the 80's/90's...what we have lost in this in the industry..is sublime voices and songwriters of caliber....absolutely the truth of the matter.....I mean she wrote this!!!!!! and listening to that voice.....my goodness...
This is the song that made me fall in love with Des'ree as a singer. You Gotta Be was her biggest hit, but didn't showcase her flawless voice like this one did. To sound this good live is something that many singers today cannot do.
+Fabian Barrera , I totally agree. Although Beyonce isn't that bad, but she lacks the artistry that Des'ree has. This lady kills this song! Absolutely beautiful, but I heard she retired from singing.
Is that what people do? You must be a Beyonce fan, correct? Well so am I, and the reason that people compares Beyonce's version to this version is because she's the lastest big name artist who covered this song. Again, Beyonce did a credible job, but Desree version is tops imo... not a knock on Beyonce.
I heard so many covers of this song, and no one can sing I'm Kissing You like Des'ree did, it cuts me deep, touch me deep and true
Exactly!
#same
TaeYang :)
Papa Khaled VERY TRUE. I love her. I love this song so much. Romeo+Juliet ❤️❤️❤️
Extremely true
Incredible to hear an artist sound exactly the same as she does on record. Gorgeous woman, sublime song.
Igualito que los “artistas” actuales con su autotune (aunque hay excepciones, pocas, pero las hay).
I wondered if she was lip syncing, or just perfect at performing
@@justineglickman pretty convinced this is live... her breathing and everything is audible when she sings.
@@peterwindle4453 Yep, live to a track. It's fabulous!
oh dear! her modulation and control is so flawless that it sounds like it was studio recorded. really one of the greatest voices.
Beautiful
That's why she has always been one of my most favorite singers.
@@claudiagehre9488 she's back now!!!😄
Totally agree!!
At first I was sure she was lip syncing, she sounded so good
Her beautiful voice has me in all my feelings.... Who's still listening in 2019? 🙋🏾♀️
*2021*
We made it everyone *2022* !!
Welcome to *2023*
still listening since the 90's
Listening in 2020
2020, sine i fish hear on Romeo and Juliette 🥰🥰
....2021
2021, checking in..they don't make'm like this anymore..
"That" look at the camera at 1:14 was EVERYTHING
Yes!! It was!!
finally an artist who can actually sing without auto tune.
Autotune did not even exist when she made this song.
Finally???? This video is 23 years old.
Real talk
Yes, finally it's 1996
@@haz1554 it did actually.....
the most emotional song ever! What a voice! What an interpretation!
Yes! this is the most powerful song I've ever heard! there are very few songs that can do to & for me what this song does. So raw, so hauntingly beautiful & captivating!!!
Please listen Ne me quitte pas - Jacques Brel
curious - why do you say "interpretation"? This is a song co-written by her and originally sung by her.
I thought her husband wrote it with her, so it wouldn't be an interpretation...

This is what Heaven sounds like.. Gets me everytime.
Best song of all time for me. Pain has never translated into song so plainly as it does here.
NO ONE should’ve ever even tried to sing this song other than this woman.
학창시절 봤던 로미오와 줄리엣 i'm kiss you를 듣고 바로 앨범 사서 들었고 간간히 찾아들었던 노래 어느덧 20년시 훌쩍 넘어 버렸네 아직까지 desree를 뛰어넘는 사람은 없다..
Love the fact part when she sings " the aching..." Can just feel all the emotion she puts into that part (':
pinkseashell09 omg yes
It kills me all the time😭😭😭
Reporting from 2022: that line hit me today. She nails it. I cried!
those dimples, that voice, the vibrato, her poise and stage presence - amazing
Her voice is out of this world and I don't think she gets the credit she deserves! I mean she is barely trying! Amazing!!! Give her flowers now!🌹🌹🌹⚘⚘⚘
She sung this song so beautiful amazing stage performance!..
She has perfect control of her voice! WOW!!
She's the original artist, this is her song. It's probably why she sings it so effortlessly and flawless. A brilliant vocalist.
No one will EVER do better than this
I swear she must be an angel, there's just something about her. 💜
She has a goddesslike energy ❤
@@androqeburia7076 she certainly does… like she was dipped in gold.
Desree's expression with every word is pure feeling
Her beautiful face is telling the sad song .So impressed by her performance
Ahhhhhh, so breathtakingly beeeeeautiful!!!!!!
“Watching stars without you, my soul cried” 😢
OMG!! Is anyone else crying? Her artistry is EVERYTHING!!
We need you back Des’ree❤❤❤. Come back to Music Industry
Pride can stand a thousand trials
The strong will never fall
But watching stars without you
My soul cries
Heaving heart is full of pain
Oooh, oooh, the aching
'Cause I'm kissing you, oooh
I'm kissing you, oooh
Touch me deep, pure and true
Give to me forever
'Cause I'm kissing you, oooh
I'm kissing you, oooh
Where are you now
Where are you now
'Cause I'm kissing you
I'm kissing you, oooh

I'm having this as my wedding march. Haunting and very beautiful.
Beautiful x infinity!! Stunning in every aspect there is! Those dimples...Sheesh! This song cuts me to the core every time! Absolutely in love with it. Only Des'rée!!
Des'ree is the first artist whose songs I have listened to when I was 4-5 years of age. Just the purity of her voice gave me chills
damn what a Voice, what control. Melts my heart.
I love this song!!! No one can EVER sing... Ever! I've found ONE cover that can satisfy me. My GOSH, this STILL gives me goosebumps like the very first time ! Thank you Des'ree for this gem!
Beautiful song beautiful voice!!
Puts me in a trance every time :)
"my soul crys" gets me everytime.
I want her to sing this at my wedding
Magnifique chanson Desree 🎤🎵🎶💕💕👍👍
This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever....
She is incredible. Amazing voice.
She really sings this marvellously beautiful! Her expressions, her all being is put into this song. A true beauty and deepest purest feelings.
Been listening to Des'ree all day. ☺️😊
She has always given me goose bumps. Like to watch her live... she sings so effortlessly
She reminds me of the blue lady on the fifth element. IDK why maybe the way she moves her hands.
She's like a goddess. Omg i was thinking the same . I was like she could play a role on the 5th element
omg she's just as beautiful as her voice
Dude my sister played 2 seconds of this song and I recognized it immediately. Yet short and repetitive, one of the most beautiful songs i've heard.
I Love This SONG.
This made me emotional what an amazing performer I can only imagine the goose bumps of an in person live performance
This voice...is so beautiful...I miss her presence.. I started listening to her in the 80's/90's...what we have lost in this in the industry..is sublime voices and songwriters of caliber....absolutely the truth of the matter.....I mean she wrote this!!!!!! and listening to that voice.....my goodness...
This song is so so real,pain found the greatest way too be translated,this song is what true pain and heartache is.
This is the song that made me fall in love with Des'ree as a singer. You Gotta Be was her biggest hit, but didn't showcase her flawless voice like this one did. To sound this good live is something that many singers today cannot do.
One of my favorite songs ever!!!!🙌
Beauuuutifullll, just like her! Wowwww! What a gift! I bet she still looks just like that today. Ancient beauty!!!!
Bravo!!!
Still in love with Des'ree
ITS INCREDIBLE!!!
wow,she's fucking amazing,,made me cry
she is underrated DİVA... no more voices like that anymore.. what a shame!!
beats Beyonce all damn day.. idk why she was allowed to cover it to begin with.
+Fabian Barrera , I totally agree. Although Beyonce isn't that bad, but she lacks the artistry that Des'ree has. This lady kills this song! Absolutely beautiful, but I heard she retired from singing.
+Fabian Barrera Why do people always have to drag Beyonce into the conversation?
Is that what people do? You must be a Beyonce fan, correct? Well so am I, and the reason that people compares Beyonce's version to this version is because she's the lastest big name artist who covered this song. Again, Beyonce did a credible job, but Desree version is tops imo... not a knock on Beyonce.
Beyoncé was good
Des'ree was far better.
fantastic
The most heartfelt, painful, vulnerable, honest song I’ve ever heard . Thank you for touching my soul ❤️❤️
Absolutely stunning even after all these years. To me, this was her best song. 😍
Romeo & Juliet 🤩
I love your song! Greath singer, greath performance!
The most beautiful song
