I love the Shrek series. I think it was the first real "kid's movie" that was treated like a REAL movie that both kids and parents could enjoy. Not to mention, the soundtracks and the animation was PHENOMENAL.
it is considered a cover. most people don't know what covers are but trust me, alot of songs you might like are likely covers. look it up, you might be honestly surprised like I was when I looked up my favorites.
By far the most amazing version. She nails it. The orchestra and choir also nail it. Everything about this version rocks my socks off. This amped up version I play in my car and it totally pumps me up for anything I'm about to do, lol
The original has always been one of my favorite 80s tunes. It was exciting to know someone took the original band's music and created this huge choral/orchestral masterpiece. Huge kudos to Dean Pitchford, who was responsible for a TON of hits in the 80s.
Didn't know Jennifer Saunders had such a great singing voice until Shrek 2........Loved the show "AB-FAB". The orchestra is fantastic. The musicians don't get the credit they deserve.
Everytime I hear this I imagine some guy racing to prom to confess his feelings for this girl while she is dancing with this handsome guy who is a jerk
Ya know what? Jen never gets anything wrong, does she? God, I adore this woman and everything she has done to make us laugh. Live long and strong. Never give up the fight. Much love from the colonies.
Trivia Fact: They actually used that version of the song when some TV Channel in my country made a promo for the film when they were going to show it one Saturday evening after the news.
I like the original. I like this one. both did a great job singing this song and I hope that one day we can get people to sing songs with as much passion and fire. instead of high pitched voice Justin beibers and one direction people. we don't need amateurs... we need real singers and Orchestras/bands like this. well done Jennifer.
I'm listening to this song while watching the Yu-Gi-Oh season 1 opening on mute.... you have no idea how weird it is that the two work together so well.

What upsets me most is always that one never finds the original videoclips and the song. Always lyrics, covers, or anything else! The most old songs are so great. But there isn't any originial on youtube...

It was both kid friendly and adult relatable
@@Jaybassili73 nor will 4ever after
What? Shrek, no. Shrek 2, yes.
Am I crazy to think that this is actually better than the Bonnie Tyler original version, especially with Jennifer Saunders voice?
No youre not
I love this version much more
Jennifer just slayed the vocals in this song
+Matheus Beltrão FUCK YEAH!

Matheus Beltrão This is miles better than the original version.

2:00 is the best part of Jennifer saunders version of this song
It's so strange hearing this without the rest of the sounded from the movie. Like the giant gingerbread man's "Noooooooooo!"
That's why I'm here.
"NOT THE GUMDROP BUTTON!"

This is the by far the best version of this song
Why this masterpiece is not available on Spotify?
I was wondering the same!!!
The weird thing is that the soundtrack is available on Amazon music but not this song. Which is super weird
Jennifer should do some singles or some album, i would happily listen to her all day!! fab singer as well as an actress!
Not the gumdrop button! *Screams*
More like a Godzilla roar
Funny thing is it's in G minor.
You had one job pianist, one job.
Mission failed... Successfully!
its very motivating amd i love songs with orchestra and choir
i will always love this part 2:20 the orchestra really give goosebumps everytime
Everytime I hear this I imagine some guy racing to prom to confess his feelings for this girl while she is dancing with this handsome guy who is a jerk

For some reason I imagine some giant gingerbread man
Just the perfect scene 😁!
Haha sameee 😂😂😂

I love the gospel choir in the background! I think that's hysterical!
2:34 I love when the instrumental plays with the violin in the background
This is my favorite song of all time. It never wears thin no matter how many times I listen to it.
Her voice just blows me away-- almost as much as her amazing comedy! Love this woman!!! ❤😍❤
I love Jennifer´s voice!!!

Great song and version
The proper title for this song is "Holding Out for a Hero".
I will never forget seeing Shrek 2 in theaters as a kid and losing my mind at this scene
You are the greatest for making this.
I wish they had this as a single on iTunes! I don't need the whole album! Just this damn song!!

Wow thanks for the lyrics uploaded video :D Love this song from Shrek 2 ^_^

2004: We need a hero!
2023: We need a superhero!
I love how this fits Kingdom Hearts
Sweetie darling, I love it.
shes a SUPER singer
I listen to this while writing battle sequences.
What upsets me most is always that one never finds the original videoclips and the song.
Always lyrics, covers, or anything else!
The most old songs are so great. But there isn't any originial on youtube...
Столько лет этой песне, но она реально охрененная!
So many ears to this song, but it's really awesome! My respect for authors
Am I only one who think this version very like "I will survive"lol
BTW I like it.
Is Jennifer really singing it?? I never knew she was good? X Love her tho x
2:03 best part of the entire song
2:00
2:25 Mongo :'(
Too sad at the time
better than the original...the intro is divine:)
better voice and better quality, so this is in fact better than the original...
I remember this song from saints row if you played that game :D
Who would have ever thought Jennifer Saunders could sing like this?
Dwight will always be the true hero. -DBD
I see you are the Man of culture
As a matter of fact
this song reminds me of summers of 2004...really loved it
You can't forget about that C Minor, shout outs to all the keyboard and piano players
