her version has power but it lacks the emotion and heart of fanny version. both r so gifted and powerful but fantasia now owns this song hearing fantasia sing this song makes me cry.coming from a small town in mississippi now living in a big city i get that im here type of feeling

When this aired I was struck that if Fantasia had her life more together, she likely would have been the one singing this in tribute to Oprah.

I thought Hudson's rendition was a poor subsitute. No nuance, just volume.
