im not of color so i cant relate to what you feel, but I alwasy felt like people are disconnect from eachother and the earth they live on. This song is so powerful to me because of how much it screams for the greatest parts of humanity to show itself.
+no one's favorite asshole that's exactly my reaction... that was insane! well, i thought that's the thing in broadway. they have to sing great spot on. there's no turning back. the show must go on and singing is part of.
That's what one can do when you're a classically-trained soprano, a Broadway musical veteran, and a four-time Tony Award nominee. Judy Kuhn is a big star in that circle.
+wonkavite I don't even understand how she hasn't been inducted yet. The voice of Tiana was inducted as a legend after only being a princess for less than 5 years.
Such powerful words...we have but one world and each of us one lifetime..all our colors make up our world...may we be able to one day find that peace in each of us and each other.
I KNOW. This song is HARD. I took singing lessons for years and I had a pretty good voice (I say had because I'm out of practice, and had some health issues that seem to have affected my singing), but I usually had a sore throat and would be out of breath after singing this one.
Disney Pocahontas was made for her voice.... Her live sounds identical to the studio version and it gives me goosebumps.. Hands down to the best singer in all disney classics, together with Lea Salonga
SIMPLY PUT, SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL... SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!! SHE SINGS THIS SONG NOT ONLY WITH HER MOUTH BUT MAINLY WITH HER HEART, WITH HER MIND... AND WITH HER SOUL!!!!!
I think a reason this song is one of the greatest in Disney movies is because it's a song I think everyone can relate to.. And if you noticed close to the end it looked like she was getting emotional.. Songs are performed and sing better when there is an emotional connection.
Everytime she sings this song, I cry: for all marginalized people, and for mother earth which we are so disrespectful to. "How high does the sycamore grow/if you cut it down, you will never know"
Doesn't make sense because all studio songs are rounded off from around that time and to today. Besides, all theatrical singers are supposed to have this level of skill, even today. Your point is weak and ignorant.
+Derek hi I'm a bit surprised and disgusted a jidf shill, as yourself is here. stop spreading your lies, hate, and political social engineering agenda in general but especially here where moral ppl come who r nice, very unlike u. sometimes negativity is called for but not here. try to b happy about the song and actually listen to it.
Broadway artists are the real deal. They are singin live with acting. No room for mistakes. Audience in front of them. They were absolutely those pure talent
Yeah; for all the actual events & aspects of her life they did NOT include in the movie, they made up for it with the overall message, I think. Namely Colors of the Wind - Which is, I believe, what she stood for.
2024 and I’m still listening to this… and I’m a man😂 it’s crazy how she sounds exactly like the movie you can tell by how she sings she felt this in her soul
As a woman of color I feel like movies like this are so important because it’s a message of loving and respecting somebody who doesn’t look like you, And I also love the message of taking care of the environment and respecting it is so clear too
honestly I don’t think she realized how much of an impact she had on our generation. she really impacted me personally and I cry every time I hear this song
I really like Vanessa Williams cover but Judy's original version is still my favorite. It would've been nice if Judy would've sang this song in the Oscars, i feel like the award was really meant for her version not Vanessa's :/
@@irmajasso-mendez4333 because that verse is the contextual intro in the movie.. the RnB version is more universally held not only applicable to the attack on native Americans by european soldiers.
I LOVE the OG voice. It’s so strong and powerful yet beautiful at the same time. A lot of the covers are really ‘girly’ don’t have that bad-ass ness to their voices.
i don't think there's anything wrong with girly. that's misogyny talking. all different styles have their merits. it's ok if you prefer one to the other but you don't have to take down one to elevate another.
I keep seeing comments like she doesnt realize how good she is, or she sang it way better than Vanessa Williams....Y'all really thought Disney was going to hire some fly-by-night to sing one of the most powerful influential Disney songs of all time...this lady is clearly above qualified to sing this or any other song. Just amazing.
I wasn’t allowed to like pocahontas Disney growing up. But as an adult i can appreciate the outstanding performance Judy is delivering. Same with the animation of this song in the movie. Brings me to tears like Judy when she’s singing 🎉
Her voice was perfect for Pocahontas and Lea Solonga was perfect for Mulan and Jasmine. The casts were all perfect. Judy has power in her voice which made it perfect for this song.
My ears refuse to accept any other versions of this legendary song sung by the Disney Legend Judy Kuhn. This is the only version I ever heard besides another Disney Legend Lea Salonga’s rendition.
again, this vid, why isn't this watched by more than a million people?? this woman is just epic! one of the world most amazing voices!! i love you Judy
I am a 91 born... And today, this moment Alexa is playing this song on loop. They gave me dreams... They gave me freedom.. they gave me Hope. They gave me the most powerful emotion I have in me... LOVE💙
Two Jewish men wrote this song and a Jewish woman sing this amazing song. That the ability to express spirituality to this extent is Jewish is understandable. They know About it the creation and the creator of the universe.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I come after years because I remembered this song, when I was a kid I loved this movie just because of this song, really moving the power of this woman's voice
‘The rainstorm and the river are my brothers’ that part always gets me 🥺 Such a beautiful song and especially vocalist, she sounds amazing live ❤️ Big message in this song
Only discovered Judy Kuhn a few months ago having seen the best live performance of the musical 'Chess' i've ever seen, from 1989. Why this girl didn't become a mega-star i'll never know - there is no justice in this world...
I prefer Judy's version because I tend to gravitate more toward classically trained vocalists, but Vanessa's version is beautiful too. It's comparing apple and oranges...they're both very talented but very different in style and approach.
This song gets me every single time so beautiful such a powerful message we could all learn something so fundamental about life from this easily the best of Disney
You can see the story in her eyes and feel it in the vibrations of her voice. She is not just singing but a piece of her is living the story and it becomes real.
Everything that grows - that gives life like humans do - NEEDS to B Respected , VALUED. Many comments don’t mention how we NEED TO STOP BEING SELFISH N CRUEL to nature n the lives who rightfully live there before any of us did. stop supporting trees getting cut down, cement killing green, so much we can do n shld do to help in any way we can. Teach ur kids to respect trees n vulnerable lives who call nature home
