How I think I sound in the shower

My son was chronically ill and I would sing lullabies to him every night for hours. When he died I sang this to him as his last song. I’ve searched everywhere for a good version and haven’t found one until now. Thank you so much for the gift of your voice and your performance. I listen to this and I think of my little Royce and I wish he could’ve heard you too.

0:58 and 2:01 it’s so hard to find people that are able to do the Arabic sounding runs that weren’t taught to sing like that and that is extremely impressive

She needs to be picked up to sing vocals in Disney films this is crazy the Arabian trills is hauntingly beautiful ❤️

THE CONTROL. THE EMOTION. THE TALENT.

Okay, so, I came from the Arabian Nights video and I thought to myself "I hope she's got one from Prince of Egypt" and man, the joy that rushed inside me when I found this.

If I had her voice I’d never shut up

Sad fact about Ofra Haza (RIP), the original singer. She was considered by Hans Zimmer to do the vocals for the 2000 film Gladiator, but passed away before she could be asked to do it. Lisa Gerrard’s vocals on the soundtrack are awesome, but imagine what it would have been like if the woman who gave us that awesome delivery of Deliver us had sung the vocals. RIP Ofra. Your voice was something special.

Imagine hearing this going to heaven

And then as she finishes a bunch of dudes come out and start singing "deliver us"

The run starting at 2:10 is something that can rival some of the hardest runs even in RnB. Incredible control.

Hush now, my baby Be still love, don't cry Sleep as you're rocked by the stream Sleep and remember My last lullaby So i'll be with you when you dream River, oh river, Flow gently for me Such precious cargo you bear Do you know somewhere, He can be free? River, deliver him there [Vocals] River, deliver him there Brother, you're safe now And safe may you stay For I have a prayer just for you Grow baby brother Come back someday Come and deliver us too [Vocals]

The arabic trills gave me CHILLS girl

GIRL I COULDNT HELP BUT CRY OVER THIS ITS SO ANGELIC 😭😭😭🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

I've never heard something so beautiful and haunting in the same moment.. you really can feel the back story when she sings, and the use of the acoustics to amplify the effects are just bone chilling in the best possible way. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with the world Jada!

She sounds like either a goddess, or a siren.

Moses: you've been diagnosed with letma.. Pharoa: letma? Moses: LETMA PEOPLE GOOOO!

1:15 I love how here the tone is super sweet and calm, hopefull even but then it turns melancholic almost like moaning, it was so smooth. The cries of a mother

For those saying Arabic, it is actually Hebrew. Anyway, her voice is Amazing!

Why is no one talking about how much freaking control you have? That end made me listen twice to make sure I heard it right 👏👏👏

hush now my baby be still love don't cry sleep as you're rocked by the stream sleep and remember my last lullaby so ill be with you when you dream river oh river flow gently for me such precious cargo you bear do you know somewhere he can be free river deliver him there (vocals) river deliver him there brother you're safe now and safe may you stay for I have a prayer just for you grow baby brother come back someday come and deliver us too come and deliver us too

Chills. This song is such a masterpiece. So full of emotion, so raw... And your voice is hauntingly beautiful, like chimes in the wind. It always makes me tear up. Amazing.

This song!! Childhood memories unlocked 😍 You are so talented! This is lovely 🖤

I cried so hard watching this part of the movie and I still cry thinking about it and how sad she must have been to leave her child floating down a river with no idea where he would end up

This is unbelievable, I have been crying for an 1 hour now, I never had a mother to sing me these lullabies. You've more than replicated what I have imagined.

I only saw one video of yours and I said immediately you should have been in the cast of Prince of Egypt and this was the next thing that popped up!!! New subscriber you are absolutely fantastic

this must be preserved for all time

The prince of egypt is a seriously underrated movie

She’s singing without a microphone and this is what her voice sounds like. Let that sink in. 😯

As both a person raised a Hebrew and a parent, this made me tear up. The song starts off calm and comforting, like a mother, comforting her child. Then it switches to somber and melancholy, like the cries of a mother in great pain.

You’re a blessing from God to us Jada 🥺♥️🙏🏾

I have jewish ancestors dating quite awhile back. Not enough to say I'm Jewish. But when I hear this it makes me feel a little bit closer to my ancestral people. Thank you and God bless

Prince of Egypt is NOT A DISNEY FILM, GOD DAMMIT PEOPLE!!! That being said, this version is so haunting and lovely. More of this movie, pretty please!🥰

Her voice is enchanting! And I always absolutely loved the Prince of Egypt songs 😭

Ya know, this song always had old Hebrew Magic vibes to me. Doing it in an empty auditorium without music just increases that vibe.

I love Prince of Egypt soundtrack. This song was song amazingly. Wow! 🔥❤️

I WOULD SING THIS TO MY LITTLE BROTHER ALL THE TIME WHEN HE WAS NEWBORN. HE'S 7 NOW AND I SANG THIS TO HIM AGAIN AND HE STARTED CRYING BECAUSE HE SAID IT SOUNDED TOO SAD BUT THEN AFTER A FEW DAYS HE TOLD ME TO SING IT TO HIM AGAIN BEFORE HE FELL ASLEEP. I WILL SHOW THIS TO HIM I'M SURE HE'LL LOVE IT.

I will never get over how absolutely beautiful and ethereal this is

This lady's vibrational energy in her voice resonate the deepest parts of my soul ..it's absolutely the most angelic voice I've ever heard 💛

So beautiful it brought me to tears, just like the original voice actress god rest her soul 😭

She has that little waver in her voice that just puts the Arabic/ Egyptian feels into it ❤❤ gives me chills

The Prince of Egypt is very great movie. Both Musically, Song and Story too. She sung it very beautifully and she sounded like an absolute angel. Even the dress she wore was gracious.

Been singing this to my son since he's been born, he's 8 months now. She is a siren and there is nothing you can say to make me change my mind.

You sound like a enchanted mermaid! Gorgeous!!!!

PLEASE PUT IT IN SPOTIFY!!! PLEASE, IT HELPS ME TO sleep ha

Your voice is just perfect, you need to be in The Prince of Egypt

I love how when she’s done she just puts her mask back like she didn’t just bless the entire building ✋😭

OMG your voice, tone, passion, the cry oooooh wee this made me cry had to listen a few times....

I can imagine this being a scene in a Disney movie, where some guy is wondering around this empty place, thinking he's alone when he hears this beautiful voice and immediately stops in his tracks. He listens and then gets drawn in, now desperately trying to find who this voice belongs to as it gets closer. He then finds the voice and stares in awe, watching the woman sing before he steps or bumps into something, causing the woman to stop and then fleeing in embarrassment or something. That's just the vibe I get from her voice since it's just that angelic and powerful at the same time.

Me: *a raging atheist* The six year old Christian inside me: *sobbing violently*

Brings me to tears everytime heavenly voice

This is a beautiful nod to Ofra Haza. You did this song glorious justice 🙌

wow... u did the Egyptian sound perfectly.

The most ethereal and angelic voice ✨

Jada, Ofra Haza is my favorite singer of all time, and while I think no one else can quite reach the heights of her original rendition of this song, your cover is simply amazing and you can do a lot of the same vocal tricks as she did. :D First time coming to your channel. I looked at some of your other videos and I really love your voice. You are an amazing singer with an impressive range of vocal sounds. Do you have a Spotify profile? What genre of music are you hoping to pursue as a songwriter? I look forward to hearing a full album from you someday. ^_^

RESPECT FROM EGYPT 👏

This is more chilling and beautiful than the then original. Came across your tik tok first, so glad to find the full thing. Amazing talent!!

She adds the culture to her voice . I love this

This song always brings me to tears. You've done it more than justice. I can't get over your crescendo and vibrato. So beautiful.

I need a spotify recorded version of this immediately

Ive never heard the ending that was gorgeous

She's a angel from heaven 🤩

How is she not like a super famous broadway star right now???!!! She is SO amazing. This was also my favorite childhood song. XOXO

This falls into the category, if there is one song I could listen to forever!!! No words on how beautiful this is, and what it makes me feel. She TRUELY has the voice of an Angel… Probably the Angel of all angels! 🙏🏾♥️

GIRRRRRRRRRRRRRLLLLLL YOU BETTER BE FRONT AND CENTER FOR THE AUDITIONS WHEN THIS SHOW COMES TO NEW YORK ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Please do more of this style .. your voice is absolutely incredible.. that’s an incredibly complicated song and you did so well.. it gives me chills every time. I’d love to know more music like this. If you could expose me to more music like this I’d be forever grateful

My eyes watered up when I listened to your version. Absolutely stunningly beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

goosebumps. sobbed. sore throat. wow

Prince of Egypt is one of the best movies I deeply hold dear in my heart. I appreciated this lullaby even more when I got casted to be Moses' mother in our musical and got the chance to sing this piece. It was an unforgettable experience. Splendid! You've earned a subscriber ❤️

I was quietly imagining how she was hitting these notes and didn't realize till half way through it that i indeed wasn't breathing😂✌

Well, this is the true passion and blessed voice. Also some musicians do this with entire orchestras and choirs. And here is she, got nothing but her voice and the echoes.

I thought the original singer had the most beautiful voice I'd ever heard. Until I heard your version, which might be even better. You have an amazing, incredible voice. You are so talented.

All she needs to complete that outfit is a halo because she sings like an angle :)

there’s only dislikes because those 38 people were crying so hard from how beautiful it is they couldn’t locate the like button

This song makes me bawl, because the ad libbing is supposed to mimic sobbing. I lost my son as a stillbirth.

The hair on my back stood up with her haunting voice.

Such a beautiful tone and vibrato. So glad I’ve gotten to hear it.

the control she has of her voice is insane

Twice, now, I heard this. Twice, I couldn’t hold back the tears. This cover of this song is so powerful that you can’t help to feel the pain behind the song. Rarely, do I hear a performance that gets me that emotional.

I don't believe in fate but ma'am with a voice like that, you were BORN to be a singer. Totally blown away, thank you so much for sharing!

holy. shit. YOUR VOICE IS IMMACULATE AAAA IT'S SO AUTHENTIC AND UNIQUE

I would pay you to sing at my wedding. With this same melodic sound

This girl needs to be FAMOUS famous.

Knot in my throat.. 😢 this is so powerful

imagine on 1:05 someone yelled back "EEEEEEHEHHHHH" xD

she’s singing these notes that i absolutely melt over

wow now definetely you are the princess of Egypt. THANK YOU

Omg you are so amazing God Bless you! ❤Thank you so much this shooketh me.

I've watched The Prince of Egypt many times as a kid, I liked the songs, but I never imagined that coming across this song now that I'm grown up would make me cry like a baby. Just two seconds, and I'm already ugly crying, although silently. Thanks for this beautiful gift you've given us. ❤

Wonder how it feels to be her and have the most beautiful voice in the world...

Every time I listen I am instantly in tears.

Her tone is immaculate!! Literally got chills down my spine… angelic voice 💕

Ever since i was pregnant i sang this song although i didn't know there sex yet(i wanted a surprise) i felt it was a boy. And God blessed me with a beautiful son Moses... He still loves to hear me sing this song. But instead of saying "my last" lullaby i just leave out the word last LOL. So it won't be sad lol. 🥰😍 I love you Moshe...🥰🥰🕊️🙏

Seriously I got the goosebumps when she hit those high notes and the trills, amazing, and plus I love that it’s in her own style and it doesn’t sound like she’s copying the song. Loved it

I saw this movie in theaters as a child, and even to this day, I don't have the beliefs shared in the movie, but this song is incredible and your voice brought it to a whole new level of breathtaking. Just absolutely phenomenal. Brought me to tears 🥲

Crazy absolutely crazyness. By far my favorite animated movie ever

Oh my god those trills literally make me want to cry, your voice is pure melted gold

Ofra Haza is smiling down from heaven right now.

This is beautiful. I can't stop watching and crying at the same time. Heaven is definitely listening ❤️🙏🏽😭
