ANDREA BOCELLI (HQ) & HEATHER HEADLEY - VIVO PER LEI - THE PRAYER

[@fn3274]

Heather is an underrated beast of a singer. Can't imagine she is not well known. What a singer!!!!

[@Linda-iq9nx]

Heather is incredible 🥰

[@kendallroberson-gavett684]

Maybe not well know in some circles, but those who know, know. Grammy and Tony award winner. Classically trained and a- mazing!!

[@devglover4198]

I sometimes feel that Ms. Headley's vocal command, full of a rare tone, power and flexibility -- might be more well known. Then I consider her vast Broadway and concert accolades. And I think of her Kennedy Center tribute to Elton John. Sir Elton, unsuccessfully holding back tears hearing he and Mr. Taupin's excellent YOUR SONG, Ms. Headley spinning a web of subtle truth and controlled, yet raw emotion. In these moments I say, "If you don't know, then that's totally and completely on you."

[@veronicadise7480]

I have heard Andrea sing with other performers. However, as commented earlier, this is the best performance. Heather has an anointing, a gift from God. She sings from her heart, and I can see and feel her passion. The two of them complement each other beautifully!

[@Mama-Ames]

Respectfully, Ms. Headley may not be well-known in the circles of those focused on "Top 40," "Popular," "Commercialized" (forgive me, but...) dark, depressing, vulgar, obscene, borderline satanic "CR*P" being produced & sold as "Music" today. However... To the millions who still respect & appreciate a profoundly gifted, utterly superb talent, a singer/performer who is TRULY a Class Act, one who gives us QUALITY music, Ms. Headley is quite well-known. She has won Tony & Grammy, et al Awards for her performances on the Broadway & Kennedy Center stage (among others). I assure you... the incomparable Ms. Heather Headly IS a SUPERSTAR among the very BEST OF THE BEST. She is often invited to grace many a stage, with MANY of the GREATS, as is evidenced here when she sang with the legendary Mr. Andrea Bocelli. Oh yes. Ms. Headly IS "well known." VERY well known. And IMHO... SO worthy. SO TRULY WORTHY.💗👏💗👏💗👏💗

[@RadioMorphic]

I completely disagree with the negative comments here. Andrea's voice is incredible as always, but Heather Headley performs the female vocals perfectly. And remember that her part is not an English translation at all -- the lyrics are different and complimentary. Her performance is stellar.

[@kara2162]

Yes. Exactly why interpration is not the same as a direct translation. It's incredibly difficult. I'm tri-lingual. So many things do not literally translate.

[@reginaazevedo3146]

Yes, I totally agree with you. There are two great singers and Andreas as always his voice is beautiful and Heather also has a beautiful female voice and really she did not translate the music from Italian into English, but a version in her own way.

[@Linda-iq9nx]

To have a female voice so powerful it’s not overwhelmed by Andrea is something amazing - beautifully sung by both.

[@keeshonanderson6046]

Last I homeward was Yolanda Adams...now Headley...still just as beautiful just as great

[@Cajunish]

Thank u!!! These are 2 of my favorite singers. I had no idea they did this. She is so great in person!!

[@gladysrengifodavila1085]

I’ve heard this song many times Andrea with other singers. This is the best version, Heather’s voice is strong and full of emotions, the best!

[@marildajesus7579]

Happy wonderful

[@cessy514]

I must admit that this is my favorite version of Vivo Per Lei. Both of their voices came together perfectly in this song...

[@anamartins8869]

I must admit that is may favorite version of Vivo Per Lei. Both of their are the best!

[@jocelyncelino3292]

Nice rendition of the song

[@mightytiaco7747]

Me too

[@fatimahrasyid4475]

Agree

[@mariaguerrero2359]

I Agree 👍

[@OntopoftheRN]

Whenever I hear other singers singing The Prayer, I search for Heather Headley’s rendition. No one I mean no one sings The Prayer better than Heather Headley.

[@luisdeleon9819]

I totally agree.

[@jasonjonesesquire]

Heather Headley deserves more flowers! What a voice! And my Trini sister! 🇹🇹

[@toniwebb4293]

They are an amazing duo and powerful independent vocalists. I can listen to them endlessly!❤

[@matteobocelli6097]

While I rarely comment here on my KZbin pages, I was drawn to the emotion in your comment. I wish we could get along and keep in touch. where are you streaming from?❤❤❤❤❤

[@simplybeautifulhickmanjo3191]

Their voices compliment each other. Beautiful!

[@Mama-Ames]

Two most gifted, most profoundly blessed voices ~ Mr. Andrea Bocelli & Ms. Heather Headley ~ raising "The Prayer" to our Father in Heaven was utterly b r e a t h t a k i n g. 🙏

[@GwynMuah2691]

I love Andrea and Heather singing together.

[@NellaLoi]

[@danielmatta139]

De todas las veces que he visto a Bocelli, esta es la mejor voz que lo acompaña 👏.

[@anthonyryanmauro]

she sings it beautifully. what a stunning performance from both.

[@efrainfortiz]

She It is the best voice that I have heard can reach the quality of Andrea Bocelli

[@cutidowny4118]

Perfect duet with Heather, a fabulous belter setting the pace and the only other superstar I've ever seen Andrea with, who sings mellow at any volume. No others could match their ver of The Prayer. Bravo!! 🎉🎉🎉😊 Unforgettable!!

[@carlospatricioolavepereira6865]

Heather Headley es una noche de tempestad desatada su voz es increíblemente hermosa 💖 potente,dúctil. Maravillosa ❤.

[@matteobocelli6097]

Grazie per il vostro amore e supporto durante tutto questo tempo, è stata una sensazione meravigliosa pregare per i miei fan in tutto il mondo. Anche se raramente commento qui sulle mie pagine di KZbin, sono stato attratto dalle emozioni nel tuo commento. Vorrei che andassimo d'accordo e ci tenessimo in contatto. da dove stai trasmettendo?❤❤❤❤❤

[@lindawu6357]

Wow, truly amazing voices! I can listen to the two of them sing countless times and not get tired of their voices. Many people have sang these 2 songs with Andrea but I just love this rendition with Heather. Both of their voices are so powerful. The crescendos and breath control. They make it seem so effortless. **sigh**

[@liviabeatrizfernandesisper1963]

a única cantora que realmente acompanha o Andrea Bocelli, eles são simplesmente maravilhosos e perfeitos. 🌹

[@marablack3053]

concordo plenamente

[@HiltonAlice]

Lívia Beatriz Fernandes Isper ,concordo plenamente. Nas duplas com Andrea Bocelli,essa intérprete é a ūnica que se complementa artística e musicalmente com ele.

[@joabe1207]

Ficou também muito bem a versão com a Celine Dion

[@jefersonfalcaodoamaral8691]

Concordo plenamente. É desse jeito que se deve cantar essas duas canções; com força, com intensidade e com sentimento. Até hoje lamento a última vez que ele esteve no Brasil e as duas cantoras não conseguiram corresponder a música.

[@igalflint]

@Drih 29 ELA NÃO TEM VOZ! PORTANTO, NÃO É CANTORA, ENTENDE?

[@פנינהצזנה]

This song is one of my favorites too Heather.Amazing performance!!!!We pray for love and peace all over the world.

[@Hbd2002]

Incredible. Their voices sound so good together. Definitely my favorite version of the prayer.

[@lazarusissass4094]

Wonderful Heather Headley! The best duo performance I've heard with with Andrea.

[@625shapiro]

My wife heard Bocelli and Headley in Washington DC. She was so good I had chills all over. The best accompany for Bocelli. Better than Sarah Brightman and anybody else. Headly is a great vocalist in her own right.

[@brendairwin6213]

i love Andrea such a beautiful 3:31 voice

[@brendairwin6213]

Vivo per lei da quando sai la prima volta l'ho incontrata non mi ricordo come ma mi è entrata dentro e c'è restata Vivo per lei perché mi fa vibrare forte l'anima vivo per lei e non è un peso I have loved the same as you One that I know will never leave me It doesn't matter what I do I know this love will never deceive me It doesn’t matter how I go Or all of the things I know But now it’s here to make me love again È una musa che ci invita (I know nothing could be sweeter) Atraverso un pianoforte la morte è lontana io vivo per lei (Now with my new love I can cope With all the hurt and all the sadness You are the one who gives me hope In this kind of love and madness) È un pugno che non fa mai male... Vivo per lei lo so mi fa girare di città in città soffrire un po' ma almeno io vivo (I can hear the music playing) Vivo per lei dentro gli hotel (Something deep inside me saying) Vivo per lei nel vortice Attraverso la mia voce si espande e amore produce Vivo per lei nient'altro ho e quanti altri incontrerò che come me hanno scritto in viso io vivo per le Io vivo per lei... Sopra un palco o contro ad un muro... (I am in love that is so true) anche in un domani duro (One I believe and so do you) Ogni giorno una conquista la protagonista sarà sempre lei.. Vivo per lei perché oramai io non ho altra via d'uscita perché la musica lo sai da vero non l'ho mai tradita (Now when I hear the music play A voice inside me starts to say I will always be there when you call When you need a friend Vivo per lei la musica (When you need a friend) Vivo per lei è unica (You're someone to bring hope) Io vivo per lei (Per lei) Io vivo Per lei
