She was trying so hard not to party and dance to this
I feel her so much

[tiastips]

No matter how many times I hear this song it is still uplifting

[paulrobinson]

Her rehearsal performance of this is one of the emotionally moving and brilliant performances I've ever seen. I'm not a cryer but i was crying lik a baby

[kinseyridling]

Nearly two years later this song still gives me goosebumps! She is everything I inspire to be. Her confidence and presence is amazing! Even if she's nervous she still perseveres and dominates!

[adewirasanjaya]

the person who wrote this song is and will be blessed forever down to his/her 7th generations

[willwaehrens]

The fact that they make sign language in the silent part. Wow

[The_A_Cast]

As a gay boy from a small eastern Kentucky town, this song cuts deep, still to this day! ❤️

Now this is the way we celebrate the 4th of July as Americans, not with division, not with hate, but with love and respect and with song the stirs our very souls. This is why we need to take our nation forward instead of dragging it back to darker days. This is the kind of celebration that I signed a contract for my life to the United States as an 18 year old US Marine, not for the cesspool that now swirls in our nations capitol.

She has so many layers to her voice. And her technique is so gooood

[christinastanton]

"I know I'm worthy of love. There's nothing I'm not worthy of!" Amen, Sister.

[thudor]

When the choir in the background belts out "WE ARE WARRIORS!!" and "....FOR WE ARE GLORIOUS!!!" in perfect 4-part harmony, it gets me every time!!
If you think about it, performing a song like that at that time and place was nothing less than an act of resistance inspired by love!

[stismail]

Kudos to the person who had the idea of having everyone sign in unison. It was beautiful.

[sydneyballard]

I was FINE! I was humming along, nodding my head,


BUT WHEN THEY STARTED SIGNING THE LYRICS 😭😭😭😭

[itswineglass]

See, I tried to listen to this song/her voice without gettin' emotional and...I failed. At least I tried. 😭😩❤

[jamescoffey]

Keala is powerful, and the song embodies the struggle of those who are marginalized to continue to fight for the respect they deserve. This song embodies our nation from the day of it's founding until today.

[Nick-kzdg]

This is one of her best live performances, her vocals crushed her Oscars performance.

[houchi]

This is how America should be united, when we accept every single person in the country.

[barbarastewart]

You are beautiful, brave, bold and endless. Thank you. Epic..

[decoriust]

I was in this! Its so cool to see myself and my friends here!

[heresanandiamond]

Still can't believe why this GREATEST song didn't win Oscar.
