The line "And just maybe I can convince time to slow up, giving me enough time in my life to grow up. Time be my friend, let me start again" Gets me crying everytime.
I know this is sooooo much later than when you posted this comment, but I have this theory that everyone has their own individual relationship with time and most people haven't discovered it which is why I think people often feel "time just gets away from you". Those that have learned to have a relationship with their time, find ways to "be its friend" and in a sense actually slow it down. I dunno, I'm also stoned 🤣. I mean, perception IS reality after all.
I met this young lady when I was a Banker for Wells Fargo in Rahway NJ when she was about 16, she sang for my boss and I and I cried back then. I’m so glad she made it!!!
@@kendall7086 yes made it. She sings on broadway. She sang in a classic iconic movie with well known stars on the most watched channel in the country in front of millions of people. So yes, I’d say she made it.
I'm auditioning for Dorothy because we are doing the Wiz and I'm thinking about using this song Edit- I just finished auditioning and it went well! Edit: I got in! 😀
@@MattWeisherComposer not at our theater company we choose our songs that we sing and in all my other auditions and I sung a song from the show they had no problem, and also there is nothing in the audition info that says anything using a song from the show
well that’s fine if it’s your local theatre company, but as you get older and go audition more professionally, it’s always best to stay away from songs that are in the musical you’re auditioning for
She came into this with such big shoes to fill. After all, Stephanie Mills iconic performance of Home is, for many of us, the pre-eminent rendition. Later attempts have been met with a skepticism at best and contempt at worse (yes, I'm looking at you Diana Ross) Shaniece Williams did not disappoint. In fact, she created her own, craveable iconic version. I've listened to the stephanie original a million times. It may be the novelty of having a Fresh version on par with that, but i find myself choosing to this rendition now when I wanna hear Home. That is so very real to me.
Why isn't She a Superstar???? Either in music or Films??? Or Both???? I just don't understand the industry. But none the less she captured this moment and captivated!!!! Such a stunning performance!!!! Just Brilliant.
I wonder if one day in the future people will look at this and finally give it the recognition it has alaways deserved! I'm still mesmerized this is not considered one of the greatest musical theatre performances of all time!
4:00 In the words of Andrew Lloyd Webber, "Close your eyes, it's very easy. You'll find that you're already home. Home is a place inside your heart!!!"
When I think of Home I think of place Where there's love overflowing I wish I was home I wish I was back there With the thing i've been knowing Wind that makes the tall glass Bend into leaning Suddenly, the raindrops that fall Have a meaning Sprinklin the scene Makes it all clean Maybe there's a chance For me to go back Now that I have some direction It sure would be nice To be back home Where there's love and affection And just maybe I Can convince time to slow up Giving me enough time In my life to grow up Time, be my friend, let me start again Suddenly, my world's gone And changed It's face But I still know where I'm going I have had my mind spun around in space And yet, I've watched it growing And if you're listening god, please, Don't make it hard To know if we should believe the things That we see Tell us, should we try to stay Should we run away, or would it be Better just to let things be?

@@brianaustin5467 They skipped a week in solidarity with the BLM protests and aired The Wiz I think the week later, so it wouldn't be out of character.
@@kueller917 It is one thing to pass on a show to mark the death of someone, it is another thing to appear to take sides in a general election. It is all about perception, and there are a number of hotheads who are very keen to take offence.
She is wonderful!!!! How in the world have I never heard of her till now. I want to see the whole version of this Wiz. I'm a huge fan of the one made with Michael Jackson and Diana Ross. Diana is wonderful too. ❤
Since this channel is clearly never going to upload "The Feeling We Once Had," here's a little fun fact: The woman playing Aunt Em at the very end of the clip is Stephanie Mills, and she originated the role of Dorothy on Broadway in 1974.
She sounds beautiful and this is not a easy song to sing, trust me i tried doing karaoke night lol but after hearing Diana Ross and Whitney Houlton she sounded ok, but none of them three can compare to the Queen of this song Stephanie Mills
She's fabulous. This production reminds me that the 1976 movie of 'The Wiz' was a dumpster fire, with an overaged Dorothy and shots filmed from so far away you couldn't see anything.
What's your favourite song from The Wiz?
Alllll
What would I do if I could feel
Believe in yourself
Slide some oil to me is my fave!!!!!
@@urukira that one is really good

@@kendall7086what have you made besides a dumbass comment?
I’m such an emotional sponge. I cry bittersweet tears every time I hear someone sing this, and she bids Oz goodbye.
You are not alone
Saaaaaaame😭😭😭
Have you heard the version from Pose? Guaranteed to make you cry

It’s a general rule not to use a song from the show you’re auditioning for. Definitely not a song that the role you’re auditioning for sings.

@@dayxo really that's only for professional theater but do what you want to do
@@asahall2558 is that not what i said? 💀
Im strong thru the whole song but then start crying at the “It taught me to love” every time 😭
Yessssss!!!
For me it’s always “suddenly my worlds gone and changed its face…” cause of how they did it in the movie, showing all there faces😭
The note at 03:45 - 03:46 has a beautiful ringing resonance
So proud for her.
Can they play this musical again
It's on dailymotion.
There’s a link to rent or buy it in the description.
they should re-air it again for the holidays
Shanice has an amazing voice. Loved her as Dorothy. Hope to see her onstage one day soon
I remember my cousins from California saw her as Little Red Riding Hood in the Hollywood Bowl production of _Into the Woods._
The options on this are just so good. The "So Real" run is my favorite part.
they are! they really serve the lyrics and intention too; not arbitrary at all

Diana Ross was phenomenal
This made me cry when I was little and it still does 😭
OMG FR ME TOO😭
Absolutely love that Stephanie Mills showed up at the end, the ORIGINAL Dorothy from the Wiz
I think this was the most moving version I have ever heard.
Why isn't She a Superstar???? Either in music or Films??? Or Both???? I just don't understand the industry. But none the less she captured this moment and captivated!!!! Such a stunning performance!!!! Just Brilliant.
My mom has a video of me sobbing while watching this live. I love The Wiz so much I broke my aunt's tape watching it while I was younger lol
I wonder if one day in the future people will look at this and finally give it the recognition it has alaways deserved! I'm still mesmerized this is not considered one of the greatest musical theatre performances of all time!
this young lady is SPECTACULAR -- i could watch this video over and over again !!

…except ALW didn’t write that. ALW only writes music - he doesn’t have enough talent to write lyrics.
One of my favourite musicals! Shanice does such a beautiful job with such a beautiful song 💝
TOTO MADE ME CRY! There's nothing like coming home to your dog.
Wow what a voice!!
This song makes me cry.
This is one if the best presentations of home I've ever heard!! This lady nailed it!! Beautifully and professionally done!! Kudos!
When I think of Home
I think of place
Where there's love overflowing
I wish I was home
I wish I was back there
With the thing i've been knowing
Wind that makes the tall glass
Bend into leaning
Suddenly, the raindrops that fall
Have a meaning
Sprinklin the scene
Makes it all clean
Maybe there's a chance
For me to go back
Now that I have some direction
It sure would be nice
To be back home
Where there's love and affection
And just maybe I
Can convince time to slow up
Giving me enough time
In my life to grow up
Time, be my friend, let me start again
Suddenly, my world's gone
And changed It's face
But I still know where I'm going
I have had my mind spun around in space And yet, I've watched it growing
And if you're listening god, please, Don't make it hard
To know if we should believe the things That we see
Tell us, should we try to stay
Should we run away, or would it be Better just to let things be?
Living here in this brand new world
Might be a fantasy
But its taught me to love
So it real, real, real to me
And I've learned
That we must look inside our hearts
To find
A world full of love
Like yours, Like mine
Like Home
A great performance worth seeing and hearing!!
This is the first time i be heard this song sung so clearly and with so much inflection very well done.
You know how you see a beautiful woman sing, and she's absolutely owning that song, and you make a mistake and fall in love with her?!
Yeah 😍
My moment! I love this song... ❤❤❤❤❤
Should have released brand new day today bc of inauguration.
I think that they are steering well clear of political statements.

@Anjelica Snorcket I'm not even saying they should I'm just saying they've not been completely apolitical in the past.
Shaniece hive stand up! Love her!
This performance was brilliant, so impressive. What great talent!
I feel like your voice is like a diamond in the sky!
I'm singing this song in my sophomore choir class.
Thank God this is back on TH-cam!
I love how they added drums on this song.
BEAUTIFUL! Chills. The best version I have heard! Love her! ❤
One of my absolute favorites ♡
What a beautiful tone her voice has!
I love The Wiz! ❤️
me too
thank you guys
This cast is so good!
Just pure and honest. Brava! 👏🏽
I didn’t get to watch this when it aired but I think this is really powerful.
Omg. I’ve got goosebumps❤amazing. 😮🥰
Shanice you rock at that song will you come to my show this summer
The Best Song Ever!🥰❤️🏠
Eversince Esang of the voice kids ph sang this song, I'm loving this musical theather song!
I've never heard this version of this song or of her before I'm glad I stopped to listen to it She Has An Amazing Voice...WOW!
AAAAAAHH 😭 SHE’S SO GOOD
Shanice Williams is so talented. Look at the pair of shoes on her feet. They sparkle.
This is one of the most beautiful song in an epic production. Recently I wrote a subliminal analysis of this renown piece of art.
This song got me through hard times
PHEWWWWW!!!!!!!!! Brilliance!!
Voice of an angel! 😇
Anything a singer lifts their leg while singing you know they're sangin’ 3:26
She is wonderful!!!! How in the world have I never heard of her till now. I want to see the whole version of this Wiz. I'm a huge fan of the one made with Michael Jackson and Diana Ross.
Diana is wonderful too. ❤
Nailed it!
She is adorable!!
i aint even hit play yet and already emotional...dang...lol
Why didn’t Shanice Williams play or star in anything else? She was a good performer and actress. 😔😔😔😔😔
The only answer I can say to that is look on her TH-cam channel then she'll explain why.
She has done some theater. She was in an off-Broadway show and a Hollywood bowl production of into the woods.
Beautiful voice
4:00, Those Silver High Heel Shoes look nice on her
Please the feeling we once had an he's the wizard
Hope you enjoy! th-cam.com/video/ZEBOe6vmync/w-d-xo.html
@@TheShowsMustGoOn the video is not available to the public
@@sailorpluto1556 It looks as if it is not available in Latin America, it can be viewed in Europe.
I love this song
Great play !
i just love this so much
🐺🐕🐺🐈🐺😺🐺🐶Thank very much for sharing amazing video and beautiful song!!👌👌👌👏👏👏👏
She’s awesome
Yes, just yesss👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Wow Shanice was only 18 when she performed this!! (this took place in 2015)

Yes, just yes. Actually doing Audition about “The Wiz” in 4 days!
I love this musical
Glorious!
I ❤ the Wiz
AWESOME!!
いつ日本でパフォーマンスしてくれますか？待ち望んでいます😍😍😍😍
🤤🤤🤤She’s SO amazing!!!
❤❤❤❤❤
She’s such a pro man! And I used to admire Bey for singing w/ her hair stuck in a fan. 😂😂😂😂
With a choir!!!
More from the wiz
Pleaseee
It's on dailymotion.
This and _Hairspray Live!_ are the _only good_ live NBC musicals, imo.
Hairspray had such good sets and costumes
yes
Now add Annie Live to the list.
@@cartoonishclaude Indeed 😃
I think Grease is generally considered to be the best one. There’s a BBC live production of The Sound of Music that was really good as well.
yes this is it!
Can you guys post something from Phantom
You can see the whole show on DailyMotion
Her voice reminded me of a younger Lea Michele
I here Stephanie Mills
Lea Michelle doesn’t even compare.
Please
I've never heard this version or her before
I'm so Glad I stopped to listen
Onde eu posso Assistir the wiz live legendado ou dublado em português- brasil?
Netflix talvez? Ou faz um Google
Do y'all hear similarities in her tone and Lea Michele's?
I was wondering that too
Yooo I never realized thattt ur right🤯🤯
is very similar to i just cant stop loving you at the begining
Is this a different Shanice Williams or did someone list the wrong name? The Shanice I remember sang "Smile".
That's Shanice Wilson. I made the same mistake.
Stephanie Mills at the end
I was thinking that was her. 😊
She sounds beautiful and this is not a easy song to sing, trust me i tried doing karaoke night lol but after hearing Diana Ross and Whitney Houlton she sounded ok, but none of them three can compare to the Queen of this song Stephanie Mills
I mean Diana Ross isn’t even in the same category as the other 3. She’s the reason the movie flopped.
She speaks like Fantasia
Wow
❤❤❤
She's fabulous. This production reminds me that the 1976 movie of 'The Wiz' was a dumpster fire, with an overaged Dorothy and shots filmed from so far away you couldn't see anything.
Glee version ❤
I dont like these live ones but this one was good. Grwat singers
Tears....smdh....
