Someone to watch over me

Jean Louisa Kelly in Mr. Holland's Opus

[@skipperdamico5691]

The very best version of this song. A great movie and a great job by Jean.

[@yw5976]

This is my very favorite rendition of this beautiful song. Her voice is perfect and the music is beautifully played.

[@drdavedj983]

Me as well. My favorite rendition to date. Bravo!

[@wendeqallab6656]

YOU could feel every emotion and I do not blame her.

[@larryreed9149]

AAAAAAAAAAAA A REAL LADY... THANK YOU. GBU. DARLING.

[@liasoetje2531]

I couldn't agree more! She owns it.

[@HowDareThey1970]

I agree about the schoolgirl crush part... but I still think it was a big hole in the story for her not to return. In the intervening years she would have matured, outgrown the crush, and looked back on him as the teacher who encouraged her to follow her dreams.

Sends chills up my spine. Can feel what each of these characters are feeling.

[@totodog2]

Love this movie, love this performance. Reminds me of something that happened years ago...

[@apocbible]

she is absolutely perfect... no wonder mrs holland was jealous yowzah !!!

[@barbaracorry6816]

Lovely rendition of a beautiful song. Sweet, tender, vulnerable, lilting

He did the Right thing, Not to get on the Bus, How can he forget his family when her wife loves him so much. I believe that if he would have got on the bus his relationship with that girl won't last long.

Glenn Headley's emotional reaction is gut wrenching. It's so sad the both she and her movie husband in 'The Circle' died within months of each other.

When I first saw this movie in the theatre, I truly thought that when Mr. Holland was being called into the principal's office to be laid off, that Rowena had "spilled the beans" on his helping her move to New York and not telling her parents. For me, her unfinished story left a big question mark on an otherwise perfect film. It still remains in my top two movies of all time.

Someone To Watch Over Me Ella Fitzgerald There's a saying old, says that love is blind Still we're often told, seek and ye shall find So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet He's the big affair I cannot forget Only man I ever think of with regret I'd like to add his initial to my monogram Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb There's a somebody I'm longin' to see I hope that he turns out to be Someone who'll watch over me I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood I know I could, always be good To one who'll watch over me Although he may not be the man Some girls think of as handsome To my heart he carries the key Won't you tell him please to put on some speed Follow my lead, oh, how I need Someone to watch over me Won't you tell him please to put on some speed Follow my lead, oh, how I need Someone to watch over me Someone to watch over me Composers: Ira Gershwin / George Gershwin Someone To Watch Over Me © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc, Peermusic Publishing

This lady pops up in the recent Top Gun sequel as Iceman's wife!

[@emucow9]

No, Rowena not showing up just proved that any attraction felt between them was false. It was no more than a school girl crush for her and an emotional moment of weakness for him.

[@bluegreydude4]

love the song....the Portuguese subtitles were a little disconcerting though! LOL!

[@danielc.8875]

Such a clear and well sung song. Unlike the loud noise coming off the radio today. It hurts to see how music has deteriorated so badly. With a few exceptions of course

[@curiouscharacter1]

No doubt about it; she's the best thing in this somewhat lackluster movie and the song? She totally nails it. This is the best rendition either before or since. Blew me away the first time I heard it.

[@h4g6v3]

I also agree about the school girl crush and also wish she had returned but who knows maybe nothing came of her career and like many of us she just never returned. I don't really think it was a momen of weakness on Holland's part, I think it was love but love for the beauty of music...not the love of a young girl.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

C Goheen it worked for Mick Jagger:)

[@rickyd4810]

All good points. But she should have been present at his retirement assembly.

[@artkelly5402]

WOW!

[@nutballgazette]

I agree. They dropped the ball there.

[@HowDareThey1970]

I always thought so too...

[@karel797]

Fun Movie...

[@AnneLiesveld]

I don't think the movie is lackluster--and if all you got out of it was a girlfriend for a boyfriend you missed a lot of subtlety and sweetness in most of the family and kid scenes.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Anne Liesveld I still cry every time when they're at the parade...

[@barbarabrennan1753]

This is how I feel right now.

[@msscott73]

the women can sing here ass off.

[@fw6942]

Question! She perfect certainly! But why she didn't to be a star or famous singer? In fact, people like fast food not healthy food! Take a look at the current celebrities, not art at all increasingly!

[@al1936ful]

Maybe it was too painful for her to go back; after all, she did fall in love with him, and expected him to leave his wife.

[@OliviaSparkle]

Okay but she kisses her friggin TEACHER! That made that whole movie wierd for me me

[@markseslstorytellerchannel3418]

I'm positive the writer couldn't stand Mr. Holland. He didn't have the guts to be a "bad guy" and chase his dreams...and Rowena represented his last chance ...and he said no. I'm quite positive Rowena saw him as a coward.

[@RayO9954]

I agree

[@Trajan730]

Agree, the singer nails it, highlight of the movie. Dreyfuss should of gone with her, I bet he had regrets, as we all do.

[@fibes55]

This movie fails miserably at the end due to Rowena Morgan's absence from the grand finale. She was the highlight of the film and they never account for or make reference to her again once she leaves high school. You develop a character like that & let her drop off a cliff?? Shit writing!

[@markseslstorytellerchannel3418]

No, she represented the fork in the road. Once she left, he lost all illusions about being a composer...he settled for being a good man and teacher. She reached for stars..it was too much for him to bear.
