We can all use that right now in these crazy times! The world has suffered too much

[@barbaradrake6282]

This is the best performance of this beautiful song that I have ever heard. Fleming's voice is phenomenal and the way she sustained that last note was simply amazing.

[@Blitzy279]

I think Jessye Norman did it better.

Please please please don't compare these 2 wonderful artists. I love them both dearly and to ever consider one better than other is an abomination.

Wow! The last note was 16 seconds on one breath and so controlled!

What a FANTASTIC of voice RENEE HAS AND A Lot built EMOTION IN It ONE of the Best RENDITIONS

So beautiful. I've heard several women sing this but this is the best I've heard. Stunning.

[@erpollock]

Beautiful performance by Renee Fleming, and the assembled military chorus with the eternal Lincoln Memorial observing silently in the apex of the scene.

[@Lederius18]

They way her voice seemed to just linger was purely magical!

[@manuelorozco7760]

Renee’s Kennedy Center Honors tribute sent me here! One of the most beautiful songs in the Rogers and Hammerstein songbook! And who would have thought she nail it the first time?

[@georgebeierberkeley]

I have listened to this recording so many times. I just love it. A nation full of hope. A new young president. And she's just terrific here. That last note, the slow crescendo, finally her voice just all by itself ringing out... I love it.

Yes.

@@JRobbySh I was way down at the Washington Monument that day -- freezing! -- and I remember wondering as soon as I heard her voice -- "who is that?". It's a performance and a day I'll never forget.

When you walk through a storm hold your head up high And don't be afraid of the dark. At the end of a storm is a golden sky And the sweet silver song of a lark. Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain, Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown. Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone, You'll never, ever walk alone. Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone, You'll never, ever walk alone.

Renee has a beautiful voice is obvious,but how she uses it is the problem. Renee works in weird sounding mannerisms and inflections in her voice. Renee’s diction is weird on some words, and she didn’t use a pure tone hodling that last note either.
