Ms. Lena Horne preached a whole word in that song !

[@dzejnalukovic9920]

Yes.......she.......did !!!!

[@ealanmontgomery2304]

Yes she did!!

[@ThisIsJ.Nicole]

She sho did. I always felt like she was singing directly to me❤

[@SeanOfSeattle]

SANG LENA!!!!!!! always gives me goof bumps

[@danamonei]

The Horne made me believe that I could do anything. She was as beautiful and she was legendary ❤❤

[@UnmeiUCray]

She was in her early 60s when she sang this and her voice was absolutely beautiful still. This is such a wonderful performance from the late great Lena Horne, R.I.P to her and her daughter who recently passed.

[@user-yo7zo6jj9q]

She tried

[@Hope-vf7pf]

The horn!!!

[@calvincox23]

Lena still brings me to tears listening to this after all these years.

[@MzMaestro]

Maaannnn I have tears running down as he’s doing this narrative. Something about how Mama Lena Horne sings this message it’s a whole word by itself. 🥹❤❤❤❤🙌🏽🙏🏽😩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #believeinyourself

[@dmp7252]

OH MY GOODNESS - I WAS THE ONE WHO REQUSTED THIS VIDEO !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I think I requested it last year ... oh my goodness. The world needs this now more than ever.

[@jmlegrairstudio]

I remember now! 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

[@deneepowell7377]

Thank you so much for your request I love me some Miss Lena Horne❤❤

[@MzMaestro]

@@jmlegrairstudioJust Re-watched the entire movie last weekend. Never disappoints. Have you seen the new versions of the Wiz with Avery Wilson as the scarecrow? It was on tiny desk! Definitely, do a breakdown of them singing those songs. It’s VERY GOOD!!

*Yws! Much thanks for this reaction...* *... The Wiz is one of my all-time favorite movies, & this scene is one of my all-time faves...!!!* 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

[@starchyld1972]

She did the song in one take. she sang her face off and gave us what a LEGEND is

[@shelbymartin502]

Maybe I'm just crazy but.... The Wiz is one of those movies that just brings me to tears. It just does.... I'm about to cry all through this

[@user-yo7zo6jj9q]

yep ... you're crazy

[@lumiere7216]

Same here. My daughters do not know that Judy Garland was ever Dorothy. They grew up thinking that Diana Ross was Dorothy and MJ was the Scarecrow! But I just absolutely love this movie! It was certainly a regular on Movie Night in our house!

[@ThisIsJ.Nicole]

As I've gotten older, it sure does ❤

[@gionnijohnson408]

​@@user-yo7zo6jj9qNot really, he's just an emotionally attached person like me, it ain't crazy for a person to have real emotions for something, it makes you human.

[@raydavis1539]

Something about watching that performance as an adult hits different. This was a musical sermon 🫶🏾

[@ThisIsJ.Nicole]

Sure does.❤

[@samanthaford5786]

This performance is my favorite part of the whole movie. I love it!!

[@ThisIsJ.Nicole]

Me too. It makes me feel so full.

[@JillCheese]

As a lil girl from Georgia, Lena was like my 3rd grandma, even though I never personally got the chance to meet her. Her live versions of "If You Believe" are even better because she does this incredible old school head voice note in the climax. She was truly a jewel, and I'm so glad you covered her! She is forever missed💝🙏🏾

[@confessionsofagoodgirl]

This song does something to me every time!!!!

[@helloxonsfan]

*Thanks so much for this reaction...* *... The Wiz is one of my all-time favorite movies, & this scene is one of my all-time faves...!!!* 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

[@TheCurt82]

Lena was a goddess that never got everything she deserved. Broadway recognized it, but the world didn't. Suggestion: Lena on Broadway, Stormy Weather #2.

[@grayadonas]

There was a lady that sang at my grandmother’s church that used to sound just like Lena Horne when she sang. So whenever I hear this song it reminds me of her too. Love this song and loved Mrs. Marjorie Jackson that used to have the church on their feet whenever she would lead a song! Thanks for posting this!

[@dylanwashington2419]

Vocal Arranger, Musician, Author of the Eliose Series Kay Thompson was Lena's Vocal Coach during her years at MGM.

[@soulstrength]

I can't tell you how long I've wanted you to review this! Lena was a DIVA until the day she died!! This song always had gospel undertones to me with the music. But Lena is actually PREACHING this song. To the point I actually have this song on my gospel playlist. So inspirational to me! ❤🙏🏽🕊✝️

[@nostoneunturned7641]

The bells of notre dame from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I'm going to spam this request on every single video.

[@thejoyjones_actor]

Thank you, thank you, Jaron. Your analysis and encouragement--and of course, Ms. Horne's song--brought me to tears today.

[@tiffanyanderson9437]

I am completely enthralled by Ms. Lena Horne. I saw her on Sesame Street as a little kid and have been blown away ever since.

[@lotus_qween]

This scene always made me cry as a kid her voice was so moving yet playful

[@mrskaycee26]

YES!! YES!! YESSSS!!! A WORD!!! Believe in yourself!!! It's one of my favorite scenes in the movie. ❤

[@dawncoe1293]

Miss Lena ate!!! Legendary.

[@SanginQT27]

I love Lena! She was truly a legend!!

[@johnjacquemart6159]

I had the great fortune to hear Lena Horne in Scottsdale, Arizona!!!!!!

[@nickjoy6389]

Omgggg this movie has such great power towards me. No matter the criticism. It has brought me through so much

[@jeremiahp9225]

It's not only Lena's beautiful voice but it's the beautiful piano notes in the background for me. After she sings the line "Within your heart, You'll know." and those 🎵 DaDa Da da da 🎵 🎹 it's so good. Then at the end of the song when she sings "as I believaaa in youuuuu" the music goes up the scale 3 times. This is my 2nd favorite song from The Wiz, home is number 1. I love everything about this song, it brings me so much joy. Lena Horne is one the best. ❤❤❤

[@rhondaatkins1776]

I'm so glad you did this!

[@okanomode]

The songs in the film adaption are some of my favorite recorded performances of all time. Sang Miss Horne!! Thanx for this one Jaron. ❤️‍🔥

[@tylerhackner9731]

Love Lena, she’s a legend

[@realshaho3180]

Yes!!! My all time favorite diva ❤️❤️❤️ I loved her Tony’s Performance of this song. She hit high notes I’ve never even heard before

[@dennishall9989]

Thank you so so much for giving homage to this legend!!! I love your lessons and encouragement. You are awesome! 👏🏾

[@speedyjefferson3690]

Till this day this part of the movie it still makes me cry

[@CandlemanOMK]

Lensa Horne is one the greatest divas of all time, and she showed it in this song

[@KPWASRIGHT]

This whole video made me smile.. thank you

[@KikiMc89]

I love so many people saying The Wiz is their all time favorite movie... I'm so glad I'm not the only one!! I first seen this movie at 2 years old in 1991, on the Disney Channel. And begged my mom to record it for me on a VHS!! I still have that tape to this day!!

[@dlp-dolapoofficial.]

Class act all the way.... Pristine analysis to back it up. I enjoyed it.

[@thekaliko]

i can't hear this song without crying ❤

[@truthbetold1074]

awesome reminder of what a great voice sounds like...positive motivation is essential...for success!!! Praise God

[@ljackson3928]

She is the great Lena Horne..❤

[@seanwheeler356]

I love it!!!!! Ms Lena did that! No one can come close to this rendition!!!!

[@sassyashley123]

I just watched this movie for the first time (from what I can remember) last week❤ I stumbled upon "Stephanie Mills - Home" years ago (a favorite and not knowing it was a part of this movie), and when hearing Diana sing it, I was nearly in tears

[@MsTrace]

‘ Class’on every single note! Interesting vibrato…like a metronome. 🖤🎶 .. & a littl’ Gospel 🙌!

[@angelabasse2662]

Chills hearing Ms. Lena Horne!

[@MizzNee796]

I remember seeing this when I was 12 years old at the Cineramadome in Los Angeles. This is a movie that must be seen on the big screen. 10 out of 10.

[@ciarrajohnson3849]

Her daughter just died💔💔💔I grew up hearing about Lena Horne hanging on the Hill (Pittsburgh-I think she lived in Schenley Park and that’s where her daughter was born)🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛

[@brandym.williams7314]

Yes ❤❤❤

[@n.p.3145]

The Beautiful Lena Horne!❤❤❤❤❤

[@gazelleman08]

You should absolutely do Amber Riley singing "He's the Wiz" from the live TV production. She kills it!

[@SweetRiverVenusMama]

Mama Lena SANG this OK?!!!

[@rhondaatkins1776]

I grew up listening (we had the soundtrack on 8 track!) and singing this song like Lena. Or so we thought we sounded like her. Lol We would imitate the way she sang it. ❤❤❤

[@fernandocolonpiconpicon8596]

I’m waiting for yo tu analysis all the music of this fantastic movie especially ‘home’. Btw love your content

[@rhondaatkins1776]

I'm going to see the Broadway play this weekend. While I'm sure I'll love it, nothing will compare to the movie's soundtrack!

[@ThisIsJ.Nicole]

When I say I mimic the heck out of this song. I honestly don't know how to make this song my own because the way she sings is powerful with massive control. I adore her. This was something special. You can't tell me she wasn't Holy Ghost filled.

[@reginaburrell2967]

Ms. LENA wasan awesome amazing singer but those little star babies were so cute 😍 Murrayville Georgia 👸🏾

[@loriweeks5590]

Yesss!!! This reminds me of my daughter s voice with her Bachelorette s self.,❤

[@Nell_3]

She was as beautiful as her voice🥰RIP👸🏽Lena 🕊️🕊️Like Fred Sanford said, she’s “ the horn”😅😅💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

[@cindyc12]

Yassss sang Lena ! This is my fav 🥰 I don't blame Diana for doing that Holy Ghost cry #insertsTatata#😂 cause I would too🏃🏾‍♀️. Rest on Queen Lena and to all those in this movie who are no longer here. Now please do "Home" analysis that was Diane's greatest performance in my opinion.

[@cutie3638]

Absolutely love this song. Gets me together every time! If you can find a video of it, I'd love for you to review the Bring Him Home quartet from the Les Miserables 25th Anniversary concert

[@alyssaswann9784]

This made me cry

[@KevJBrown]

I love the Wiz and especially the rendition of this song by Lena. Thanks so much for covering this. Could you, by every chance, cover "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" by Patricia Neway on the Ed Sullivan show?

[@derrickalston5864]

thank you so much

[@anthonyspruill101]

Always believe in your no matter what !!!!!!

[@valeriefrancis5861]

I love this❤

[@Starisborne]

The way I listened to this yesterday night and this appeared today is one of those signs frfr

[@BrooklynRWhite]

Chills!!!

[@lawaii2024]

"...the time will come arooooouuuund..." Did you catch where it went rather nasally...but effective and phenomenal!!!!!!

[@mlyl78]

Lena ministered that song to the fullest!!!

[@RoyceHuggard]

Now, you MUST do Diana's version of HOME. AKA, the nest version!

[@AlkalineInsides]

Her take does something to me and when she sings lion

[@miaiman4949]

I absolutely love your videos Mr Jaron! 😌 and just your breakdowns to the tidbits 😮‍💨 love it! Could you possible analyze Can’t Nobody by Housefires ft Mariah Adigun & Ryan Ellis?

[@SeanOfSeattle]

Lena Hone did an interview where she said that MGM didn't know what to do with her because her voice was so explosive and loud. They wanted her to sing pretty like the white girls did at MGM. if you watch any of the musicals that she was in, her singing was very calm and....pretty. BUT her albums and tv show appearances, LENA WAS LENA....EXPLOSIVE.

[@DreamGyrl360]

Dorothy: *nervous breakdown* -- you mean-- I could've gone home, this WHOLE. TIME??🥴🥴 *goes insane*

[@WuWei7]

No one epitomized beauty, class, and elegance in the Black films from the Golden Age than Auntie Lena. She always seemed to rise above even the most contrived and stereotypical material and brought them up to her level. Just like she challenged segregation as one of the first Black women performing on the Vegas Strip who actually got to come in through the front door, instead of the service entrance and stayed in the same hotel, instead of being relegated to West Las Vegas, the "Black" area of town.

[@Miguelperry411]

This one scene made me want to watch the movie again.😂

[@samukelophoku]

Please consider analyzing Chaka Khan and Fourplay Between the sheets live❤

[@TheRealKymiPoo]

🧡🔥🔥

[@engineerlocs3912]

"she takes the R out of your" Me: You? 🥸

[@user-yo7zo6jj9q]

[@carlgraham7998]

Chest voice throughout 👍

[@Kp14033]

Ca you do when Uzo Aduba sang it??

[@lawrencesmith4629]

Can you analyze Diana Ross singing 99 and a half

[@MizzNee796]

Can you please review Michael Jackson singing " You can't win!" Please if you haven't already done it.

[@jmlegrairstudio]

I did! 🫶🏾 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXmzo3qtiteSgJIsi=li_M2YGnF5scbM9M

[@GalaxyNexus1]

Now please react to Diana Ross Home from the same film
