No one can sing that song like Lulu. ❤️❤️ What a great range to her amazing voice and she is so beautiful. ❤️ I truly loved the Classic Movie starring Sydney Poitier. ❤️❤️
Well, she floored me with this rendition. I had no idea she was capable of that style of singing. Additionally, she did this on a song that's pretty much sacred -- you just don't mess with it. But she did, and got away with it beautifully. Well done, Lulu!! And you're looking great, too.
Barry Manilow and Lulu re-arranged it... and I agree. It's the best I've ever heard and the best guest-star performance on Am Idol. And Jordin Sparks looked terrified... like the bar was just raised.
As much as I love this version of this song. I still perfer the original radio version and the album version better. But don't you ever doubt that this version was great. Just say Lulu was definitely feeling it that night. She definitely nailed it, and she was definitely feeling it when she saw her version on American Idol. Just for you to know, I totally and completely love this song. Lulu was definitely on fire that night.
Some one who was an actor inspired you to become and teacher and not an actor? Real teachers should be your inspiration not people pretending to be one.
@@freddiejohnson6137 so you're insinuating that actors aren't teachers?! Sidney Poitier inspired people from all walks of life and broke many barriers, especially when it came to civil rights. I believe that's the greatest lesson of all.
Bill in a strange way when kids had respect for teachers but wouldn't admit it and then teachers wernt a few yrs older than the kids of today they teach
LULU....darlin...sweetheart....no one has ever or will ever sing a more beautiful song....NOT EVER. Your song "To Sir with Love" will reach across the Universe and transcend all space and time. I was so glad to see and hear this performance live on AI... GOD bless you love
Over more than 30 years, not alot of singers have covered To Sir With Love and this is the reason why - the song still and always will BELONG to Lulu - what a voice !!!
LuLu your are bad, I saw this movie when it came out. In 1967 I will always love the movie and the song. I was having surgery and the song came on in the hospital in St Marys. I knew God was with me. The song up lifts you when you hear it. I can't get a enough of it. Bless you Ms, LuLu
Show them how it's done Lulu. I could never understand why these American Idol contestants don't sing any British songs. The Brits made some of the most beautiful songs ever!!
littlesmew for some reason I always thought it was a reworking of an Al Green song. Just found out it’s the other way round. Find out something new everyday
I cannot believe the utter stupidity of the music world not to take her way back when and make her a star. She has one of the most sweet and soulful voices I have ever heard...always loved Lulu!!!
Good catch Kevin! Also she is clearly having an issue with her right ear monitor starting at 1:47; then see how she shoots a look at someone on her left at 1:49.
This was posted 11 years ago. She is 69 now (April 2018), her birthday is November 3rd. Lulu falls into that ageless beauty realm occupied by the likes of Cher and Tina Turner. They just classier with age!
Lulu was my first ever favorite singer when I was in high school. In 1980, I went to England and saw her perform 3 times in a club and hung out with her in her dressing room after each show. Later, we had tea together at London's Ritz Hotel for an hour. It's a memory I won't ever forget!
She is AMAZING. Had never heard of her until Idol, but I just watched an older performance of this song, and as great as she was then, she's even better now. WOW!!!
Sheer brilliance. Absolutely nailed it with this more 'up-to-date' rendition of the song. Never compare this to the original - that in itself was an epic number - this is another number.
Wow, look at her! After all these years, it's nice to hear that's she's still singing and still go it. Sure, it's not the same as the 60s version, but we're not in the 60s anymore and she has to change with the times in order to stay relevant. And personally, I think she's done a great job! Get down Lulu, no one can sing it like you do!
Just seeing this for the first time (and remembering when I was younger and saw the movie in the 1960's). Magnificent performance! Lulu is still just as wonderful over 50 years later.
That's real talent there folks. A timeless classic. I was looking up her age and found out she was married to Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees at one time. Didnt know that.
May, 2019...I remember hearing this song, when the movie came out !! And, due to the magic of You Tube, I'm able to listen to it - original or updated - when I feel the urge ...Such an amazing, simple, pretty and powerful song. And, what an amazing artist - Who does not appear to age.
"To sir with love"...thank you for mentoring me...and protecting me in your own way...You are missed but thought of often.. This song was beautiful then and still beautiful now. Lulu is one of those women who's only grown more beautiful with time.
Lulu, absolutely fabulous, hen. Looking sassy you have still got girl. A proud example of Glasgow pride belting it out on the idol show. Those kids could learn a lot from this wee stick of rock n roll dynamite. Although. I do prefer the original sixties rendition, I throughly enjoyed this and will watch it again. PS in Glasgow next week doing a bit of shopping on Sauchiehall
Yes!!!! Sidney Poitier my favorite actor and Lulu, my favorite singer!!! You can’t go wrong with this amazing movie!!! Idol just made my day!!! Best performance besides Lionel Richie! 🌹Is like to think I sing similar to Lulu and 🤩 I’m seeing my idols tonight!!!
Lulu did it then and every and anywhere she performs this song; she hits it out of the ballpark over and over again. Powerful voice. Love the original and love love this version too. She looks and sings amazingly. The Brit's are super gifted musically. In addition, they have impeccable acting skills, too.
I've been lucky to see perform in New York City and meet this beautiful woman in after her show twice 2013 and 2015. She has an incredible voice and is super sweet. I hope to see her again here in USA.
Absolutely agree, her delivery was spot on. Her vocals were outstandingly surprising, and I loved every aspect of this performance. I would pay to see her perform today
This under rated, soulful underdog has been brilliant from day one and had never really got her just due! She gets better & better. That last strong & powerful high note was riveting. Her vocal arrangement, so stunning, the band had to re-group! Might I add that Lulu is in her 60s!
ALL Divas, past and present... you can only hope to look this good and sound as great as she does so many years after hitting the music scene...absolutely fabulous.
Barry made it a ‘competition’ number with a key change and a huge ending to elicit wonder and applause because it was Idol and she was demonstrating what her voice can do.
She's still incredible! Loved the movie and how she has made the song progress along with the times. Her vocal is phenominal as well as her body and ageless beauty. Go LuLU! You taught me sooooo much!
WOW !!!!!!!!!!....her voice better than ever....her song as good as it gets....and i gotta tell ya.......she still looks SOOOO damn good !!!!!...this lady = super star !! sing forever LULU !
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!! Lulu still sounds great!! I had to add this to my favorites!! I love her voice... It's like Ronnie Spector's voice! Very different from the norm! Thanks for posting! Goosebumps!!!!!!
Wonderful from Lulu! Still sounding incredible and far more fitting as an "Idol" on American Idol than some of the guest stars that appear every week. An enduring legend!
Every time I watch this performance a great wave of goosebumps arrive on my arms at 1:59 without fail. That gorgeous tone, the terrific emotion, the sheer power buoyed by "this is how it's done" control...what a vocal passage. From that point on in the song, it's sheer perfection. What a great arrangement by Manilow and stupendous performance by Lulu.
And THAT, ladies and gentlemen is a one-woman clinic on how to do it the right way...with emotion and incredible vocal range. This is one of the most explosive performances ever caught on video bar none! Bravo LuLu!!!! Singing lessons? I think not!
It’s so perfect that I can’t believe it’s real lol! She’s amazing better as she older! Did miss the original arrangement though as love the chorus so much even so can’t stop watching one of our national treasures 🥰 she kicked the shit out of it xxxx
amazing lady truly she is an keeps going strong...!!! my Mums fave song along with others too she loved her sooo dearly, when my Mum passed I was in London an they filming Ab Fab with Jennifer Saunders an Johanna Lumley so I went up there an said Hey Lulu plseee do me a fave an sign this peice of paper an she did rightly sooooo...cheers Mum an shine on!!!
Wow!!! She sure can belt this song out there. I saw her recently in New York City and she does Al Green's version of To Sir With Love, Whatever way Lulu sings this song is great because it's hers' alone. The woman is 65 years young!!!
I remember heard this song at primary on school's talent show at Teachers Day, then a month ago I found it on TH-cam... such a great song, so I decided to search the movie too and watched it for the very first time, that's awesome a great argument, a first actor like Sidney Poitier and the rest of the actors captured my attention without any digotal effects or 4k quality... that proves a great piece of film with an oustanding soundtrack made the rest... that song reminds me emotional feelings, and transport me to a golden era, every time I heard it some tears covers my cheeks... regards from Peru!
Still gives me chills every time I hear this. This updated and more upbeat version is so much better than the original and that's not easy to do sometimes. I remember watching this live on AI the year that Jordin Sparks won and when I come back to TH-cam I have to watch it every time.

Just beautiful! This song will never die and will always be related to Lulu and Sidney Poitier. Thank you
She is gorgeous and sings better than ever. A stronger, richer, soulful sound to this wonderful song she made famous!
Fantastic!

MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME! SIDNEY POITIER INSPIRED ME TO BE TEACHER. THIS SONG WITH LULU KEEPS ME GOING!
I had the same experience. Taught middle school. Thank God for that experience!
Funny that...he hated teachers.

She's more beautiful today than ever!! loved this movie and song!!
OMG I had no idea she was such a fantastic vocalist! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
She was so cute back in 67 and just beautiful now. This song was and is such a huge part of my life.

Lulu's voice is like fine wine. It improves with age. She was terrific when I first saw her in '60's. She is STILL a terrific singer in 2012.
Absolute classic Lulu hasn't lost a step! #60s rock!

why is she bad than?
Was the hospital St. Marys in Hoboken NJ by any chance?
Absolutely fantastic. A gifted voice. Beautiful. Still has it after all these years!
Wow!!! Beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful face, beautiful body, beautiful everything! Perfection Plus. Well done Lulu!
Spent a lot of money
WOW! She looks incredible. And she can still nail that song. I loved her in the movie and that song is so unique. Fantastic performance!

I love when a performer like this comes out and only has to do one song and they nail it!!
Wow !!!! Gorgeous as ever and her voice wow on that too !! Lulu 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
DAMN! She ROCKED it!
I saw Lulu in concert last Thursday at the Cliffs Pavilion Southend UK.She is now 66 years old & still looks & sings amazing.How does she do it !
+Paul Bentley - Good to know, I'm going to see her tomorrow at St. George's Hall, Bradford.
Beautiful voice!
Never tire of seeing this classic performance. What a voice!
The key change at 2:10 was just amazing. The strength and power delivered was "educational" for the young singers for sure.
Ok...THAT was awesome! She killed that ending! I love that song and her voice is still AMAZING!! 🎵 ❤🎶
I cannot believe the utter stupidity of the music world not to take her way back when and make her a star.
She has one of the most sweet and soulful voices I have ever heard...always loved Lulu!!!
That was the most soulful rendition of her song I've ever heard. I put her up there with Dusty and Petula. Amazing!
cilla black.
she is better just did not get the recognition gonyersel hen
Fuzzy Butkus I know you think you’re very funny and clever but.....you’re not
far better than those by a country mile
far better than they two
What a singing voice...a very spectacular and worthwile TV performance- seeing is hearing!
Watch this kids - this is how its done. By someone in their 60's no less.
watch how effortlessly she adjusts her in ear monitor level at 1:07 without even missing a beat of emotion or phrasing. True professional.
She was born in 1948.. that puts her well into her 60s
You said it, Kevin....
Today's music is garbage. I saw this performance...and the kids were in AWE of Lulu!!!!
Good catch Kevin! Also she is clearly having an issue with her right ear monitor starting at 1:47; then see how she shoots a look at someone on her left at 1:49.

The movie was on yesterday and the scene when Lulu sings to Sidney is so beautiful xx
This is a result of nearly 50 years of doing the same gig. She's mastered it.

Actually, i much prefer the ORIGINAL version, sung by Lulu, of course, than this "updated" version.
