Did we forget another performance that made YOU emotional? Let us know below, and check out our video of the Top 10 Most Emotional Singing Performances in Movies - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4MYiTggeU0M.html
The joy on the faces of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page are what make the performance truly emotional. When the choir starts singing, Jimmy nearly bounces out of his seat.
Aretha Franklin’s singing You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman at the Kennedy Center honoring Carole King! She made a sitting President cry! That should be #1!
So many incredible choices here. My favorite part of the Tracy Chapman/Luke Combs performance is the way he looks at her, like he can't believe his luck that he gets to be on stage with her. Heart's Stairway to Heaven was perfection. I was surprised when they chose to play that, and I was even more surprised that Ann Wilson made it even better. What did you miss? Queen at Live Aid. I mean really, how could you? 2004 Rock and Roll HOF performance of "When My Guitar Gently Weeps" with Dhani Harrison on stage surrounded by guitar Gods paying tribute to his father. That one _never_ fails to give me chills. Especially when Prince goes off on his solo. That was a bunch of brilliant musicians having a jam session that we were privileged enough to watch.
I am guessing the inclusion of the Band Aid song from the same concert is why they omitted it although, imho, Radio Gaga 's audience participation gives me an emotional rush like nothing else.
Aretha Franklin at the Kennedy Center Honors for Carole King Eminem's performance of Lose Yourself at the 2020 Oscars. Lin Manuel Miranda's performance of My Shot and the White House before Hamilton because a juggernaut. And I agree with those who have commented on the Luke Combs/Tracy Chapman performance. Luke's multiple looks of respect and admiration toward Chapman are priceless.
- Fleetwood Mac, “Silver Springs”, “The Dance” - Prince et al, “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, R’n’R Hall of Fame induction - Eric Clapton, “Tears In Heaven”, MTV Unplugged - 10,000 Maniacs, “Because the Night”, MTV Unplugged - Pink Floyd, “Another Brick in the Wall”, Live8 - Nirvana, “About A Girl”, MTV Unplugged - The Who, “Baba O’Riley”, The Concert for New York - Gary Brooker, “A Whiter Shade of Pale”, Live in Denmark 2006 - Pavarotti & Clapton & East London Gospel Choir; “Holy Mother”, Live in Italy 1996
Same. Came here to mention "Silver Springs" (or "Landslide") and the "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" which I just can't get through without sobbing. I would also add Joni Mitchell's performance of "Both Sides Now" from the same Grammys as the Tracy Chapman/Luke Combs performance. What a moment. Absolutely breathtaking.
Gloria Estefan performing "Coming Out Of The Dark" at the 1991 American Music Awards after her catastrophic bus accident in June 1990. I remember watching as a little girl and crying when I saw her standing on the stage. It was truly awe inspiring.
Brooks & Dunn opening the show with Only in America as their guitarist played a blistering rendition of the closing lyrics to Star Spangled Banner...chills
Queen feat. Liza Minnelli (and others) - We are the Champions @Freddy Mercury Tribute Concert Bob Geldof - I Don't Like Mondays @Live 8 Eminem - Lose Yourself @Oscars 2020 Paul McCartney - Hey Jude @Olympics 2012 closing ceremony
I would say George Michael singing Somebody to Love at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert: A dedication to a great performer lost to AIDS, but also in private dedication to the love of his life, whom he would soon lose to the same disease.
Tracy Chapman & Luke Combs performance of Fast Car was so good and beautiful 😁❤️❤️ they did sound really great together 👍 Also that rendition of My Hero for Taylor Hawkins was very emotional 🥹
U2 Super Bowl 36 appearance, post 9/11. "Where The Streets Have No Name," where the backdrop scrolls the lives lost in the 9/11 tragedy, then when Bono opens his jacket. You missed this one!!!!!!! How could you???? Probably the best halftime show ever.
Tracy Chapman & Luke Combs rendition of "Fast car." Should have been mentioned"Jackson 5- Motown 25th anniversary." Also 2014 Grammy All Star perfomance of song of the year, "Get Lucky" The audience was on it's feet!
U2's Where the Streets Have No Name performance at 2002 Superbowl. Just as Bono started with an intro of MLK, ALL of the names of the victims from 9/11 were displayed for all to see in memoriam...I genuinely tear up every time I see that. Even though our country was going through a dark time, it still felt like we were all UNITED. Now such a moment just feels lost to time.
I’m angry that the performance of Melissa Etheridge and Joss Stone is not on here. I swear, if Melissa Etheridge’s tribute to Janis Joplin at either the Grammy’s or the American Music Awards, doesn’t give you chills, then you are dead inside. She had been going through chemotherapy for breast cancer and rocked a beautiful bald head. ❤ I also LOVE when the British singer Joss Stone started the performance and eventually sang with Melissa.
Prince guitarsolo during "While my guitar gently weeps" at the George Harrison tribute-concert. Daft Punk with Pharrel and Stevie Wonder at the Grammys. First Aid Kit playing "Emmylou" to Emmylou Harris at Polar Music Awards. U2 playing "With or without you" on Glastonbury. All of these should be on the list and the No1 was kind of a BS choice, it´s more you should feel chills according to your brain rather then you actually did feel it with your heart.
Good list, but i also would have gone with Whitney's performance of the National Anthem at the Super Bowl, right after we started the first Gulf War. Her rendition was so powerful, it was a real 'bring the country together' moment.
Number 1 was way off. It didn't move me at all. Hearts tribute was incredible. Aretha at the Kennedy Center Honors, Whitney's performance of the national anthem, Demi's Anyone from that awards show. Kelly Clarkson Peices on AI. All were moving incredible performances. I cried at every one of them.
I just finished watching the I Am Celine Dion documentary and watching in retrospect the struggles she started to face for over the past decade makes watching her 2017 My Heart Will Go On performance at the Billboard Music Awards the more heartbreaking. Stiff Person Syndrome or SPS, is bit something I would wish on anyone. 😢
Cory Henry with North Sea Orchestra, performing “Purple Rain.” Glycerine by Bush, at a spring break concert when it started to pour and he came out with the acoustic and rocked it.
Lady Gaga performing Til It Happens to you at the 2016 Oscars. I still can't believe that they let her do that just to turn around and give the award to Sam Smith..
Chris Brown playing Tribute to Michael Jackson at the BET awards. He breaks down in tears while performing Definitely Whitney Houston singing, "One moment in time"
What you really should have added was reach out and touch ashford and Simpson ft teddy Pendergrass at live aid Especially because it was the first live preformance since pendergrass’ vehicle accident that left him paralyzed
Where’s Christina Aguilera- Hurt from Rockefeller Centre? Impossible to have top 10 without it. The song and the ice-skating are giving chills for days!
Elton John and Eminem at the Grammys, Queen at Live Aid, Annie Lennox, Cyndi Laupet et al. at Joannie Mitchell Tribute to her career singing Big Yellow Taxi
The following Grammy "In Memorium" performance with Logic. Especially, besides two of my idols (Chester & Chris), I lost four other people to suicide that year.
The recent video of Michael J. Fox rocking on guitar with Coldplay as well as Whitney Houston's first performance of "I Look to You" at the 2008 or 2009 Grammys.
Alice In Chains-Nutshell, MTV Unplugged. Haunting and incredible. Also one of Layne Staley’s last appearances before his tragic death. Carrie Underwood and Vince Gill-How Great Thou Art, Girl’s Night Out special. So powerful. Logic at #1 is not your best choice.
