Beth Malone, Derek Klena, Orfeh, Jarrod Spector, Kate Rockwell are my favorite, but I gotta admit they all in the video were have a great voice, this is my favorite video ever 😍

Derek klena and jarrod spector are both spectacular!

[annewas]

I'll help add more comments. Derek Klena & Constantine Maroulis . . . just wow!

[rmalojipan]

jarod spector and derek klena just breath taking.

[cookielil]

The fact that u can hear their natural voice, no autotune, brings outthe authenticity

[deedeegreen]

This is my first time hearing this. I think I like this more than the original. The children's voices are exactly what the song needed. Wow!!!

[traviscouplin]

Broadway killed it, the kids were spectacular in this, I wish that Kristin Chanowenth and Idina Menzel would would participate in this.

That is a gorgeous cover of an iconic track. Michael Jackson would be so proud and I'm sure Lionel Richie must be too, to see their song still having such an impact all these years later.

[shirley]

I think this song should be played every day at the beginning of school and at the beginning of all of our days. Maybe it would remind us and encourage us to live better lives for ourselves and for others.

[conniegrant]

We truly need this now more than ever Spread the LOVE. Michael would be soooo PROUD that it is still so relevant.

Nothing will ever beat the stars that aligned for the original, but there are a lot of great voices here.

[annajoellecloss]
