I listened to this piece in grateful tears 100 times last Christmas. I was stunned by the unadorned purity of the singing, unlike any other performance of this piece I've ever heard! This is not just technical mastery, my friends. This is the full-blown artistic mastery of a mature soul that is in exquisite service to the music. Jewel, you touched my soul, and countless others, with this angelic performance! Keep putting this love into everything you do, and may you live long and well.
She went to school to study opera under a scholarship. She can sing like this anytime. But she's a true artist. She sings and writes about things that move her and move people.
Since today is the official "First Day" of the Christmas season (June 1, 2020) ... I thought my favorite version of Ave Maria would be appropriate ... Thank you Jewel ...
There are singers , and there are musicians ; then there are artists . She is definitely in the artist category ; not just the voice and musical talent , but her writings are deep and socially meaningful . She truly was a starving artist living in her car before fame came , and is therefore definitely in touch with the 'common man' . She first caught my attention in the early 90s , when I had come to believe the era of Good popular music had passed . Thank you Jewel , for sharing your gift(s) .
JMJ✝. So beautiful 🕊️! Sancta Maria, ora pro nobis 🎵! I will forever think of our Blessed Mother 💗 and my own dear little Mom✝💗 when I hear this song. Captivates the heart ❤️ and soul 🕊️. Thank you Jewel!
I love this version! I remember hearing it the first time, and thinking "the soul does exist, because there's no other reason for this feeling in my chest right now".
I went through many other renditions of this Bach/Gounod's Ave Maria before choosing Jewel's studio download. Both arrangement and singing are absolutely magnificent! I find it extremely touching.
Antes de ver este video, siempre me ha parecido espectacular su voz. Pero ahora me deja perplejo su calidad vocal. Impresionante, potente, absolutamente perfecta, divina. 😍😍😍
+Tom Reynolds Yep. Her O Holy Night is incredible too, even more so how she comes down in the notes so perfectly WITHOUT the use of autotune starting at 2:48 in a different "video still " version of her audio singing it.
"THANK YOU FOR THIS SONG." ITS UNIVERSAL IN ALL RELIGIONS FOR WHOM IT IS SANG TO. JEWEL HAS WORKED SO HARD, & HAS ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH. THANK YOU FOR SINGING THIS SONG WITH SUCH CLASS, & NOT DISRESPECTING IT. LOL.
This unassuming humble woman can SING like an angel. She is so versatile and can sing anything and sing the crap out ot it. She knows who she is and stands by it. Her classical training really shows on this stellar performance.
Yes, she is amazing. I've always heard the purity and innocence in her voice in all of her music. But, this makes it obvious to everyone. Jewel is a classically trained singer from a very well known school in Michigan. She dropped out of the program to fulfill her own musical ambitions. I love her and always have!
Loved it !!!! She was born to sing - she's a natural - this song is SO SO darn hard - I'm a singer and it is almost impossible to hit those high notes unless you are operatically trained. Great job, grl !!!!!!
Eternal Rest to my dear and near ones, Lord, grant that they may Rest in the Peace of Christ. May perpetual Light shine on them and through the Mercy of God may they Rest in Peace
Exactly, the depth which the singer has experienced a particular emotion, becomes evident when they blend the words & music. She connected with the words & music perfectly to nourish the soul.
She not only looked like an angel when she was performing, she sounded like one!! . Interlochen should be very proud of her! Incredible arrangement and singing.
It's amazing how her normal choice of music doesn't let you hear nearly as much of her voice as this! I knew she could hit some notes and hold them but I didn't think like this! She's very versatile. Love her

No matter how many times I hear this version of Ave Maria, I cry. It is beyond beautiful..and I don't even like Jewel usually but this is perfection.
Jewel is an artist who has many sounds, many ways of singing. :)
Brings tears to my eyes. Not because it's sung by an expert. Because it is sung by true believer, with talent, heart, love and soul.
Wow, I had no idea she could sing with such range and something so classical like that - she has an amazing voice.
Me either, what ever happened to her?
She went to school to study opera under a scholarship. She can sing like this anytime. But she's a true artist. She sings and writes about things that move her and move people.
She is still relevant, still singing. Releasing gorgeous albums, writing books, raising her child and fighting homelessness among other things.
Absolutely gorgeous. When I visited Europe there was nothing that could rival this, I am forever changed.
in my opinion one of the best female artist of all time period
Soooooo beautiful. The voice of an angel.
Since today is the official "First Day" of the Christmas season (June 1, 2020) ... I thought my favorite version of Ave Maria would be appropriate ... Thank you Jewel ...
From the spirit and heart Perfect pitch. A master vocalist
Out of so many beautiful interpretations by other singers, this stands out as a true , beautiful prayer ! It comes from her soul and it touches yours.

Gives me goosebumps every time I listen to her version of this.
This is the most beautiful and technically perfect rendition I have ever heard. It always moves me to tears
JMJ✝. So beautiful 🕊️! Sancta Maria, ora pro nobis 🎵! I will forever think of our Blessed Mother 💗 and my own dear little Mom✝💗 when I hear this song. Captivates the heart ❤️ and soul 🕊️. Thank you Jewel!
Blown away. I have never seen Jewel perform the Christmas songs I have seen tonight. She still amazes me. Wow
I love this version! I remember hearing it the first time, and thinking "the soul does exist, because there's no other reason for this feeling in my chest right now".

She sings it beautifully...and with the heart. Gives me goosebumps.
god that is so beautiful and I don't believe in god, so sweet to hear
absolutely perfect, arguably one of the finest renditions of this song ever done
oh my god! That was soooo beautiful!
I had no idea Jewel could sing like this. I am floored. Hats off to you my lady, and thank you for singing this for us.
Wow! never expected that she has a tremendous vocal range.
I had no idea she could sing like an opera singer! That was incredibly beautiful!
She actually went to opera school
Her beautiful voice hits every part of my soul !
Forgotten how beautiful Jewel is. WOW
very well done - great voice - one of the many under appreciated artists of our time.
Outstanding! This is one of the greatest Catholic hymns of all time.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE JEWEL! 👐👏
Antes de ver este video, siempre me ha parecido espectacular su voz. Pero ahora me deja perplejo su calidad vocal. Impresionante, potente, absolutamente perfecta, divina. 😍😍😍
She could have been an opera singer, the way she hits those high notes-incredible!

ok seriously - how does she NOT have a grammy? music industry is so fucked up.
I understand you I love this!!
Absolutely beautiful
I have the album version and I still (after all these years) think Jewel sings this song better than any female artist ever has.
+MikeSPx24bj9 I agree, and I'm not a Jewel fan, per se. This is just a flat-out amazing version, and O Holy Night is incredible.
+Tom Reynolds Yep. Her O Holy Night is incredible too, even more so how she comes down in the notes so perfectly WITHOUT the use of autotune starting at 2:48 in a different "video still " version of her audio singing it.
MikeSPx24bj9 listen to Nana Mouskouri's version...she will knock your socks off
This is the best version of the song on the planet!!!
What a fantastic singer and a real beautifull lady .
My blessed God, this young lady can sing anything ! I loved her when she first started and I love her more each song she sings !!! 💓
Jewel is gifted. Such a unique voice & no problems hitting the high notes. Had to listen again with my eyes close,...amazing!
WOW!! I still find her version is really beautiful and it's 2015!!
I still find her beautiful and it's 2021 ❤️ Jewel = Everyday Angel 😇 with a heavenly voice , for all of us to enjoy !
"THANK YOU FOR THIS SONG." ITS UNIVERSAL IN ALL RELIGIONS FOR WHOM IT IS SANG TO.
JEWEL HAS WORKED SO HARD, & HAS ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH. THANK YOU FOR SINGING THIS SONG WITH SUCH CLASS, & NOT DISRESPECTING IT.

Outstanding. I've always loved Jewel but have never seen heard this piece. Wow!
JT Barbat its a Bach/Gounod piece
This girl... if there is someone who is underrated... it's her. BEAUTIFUL! The definition of womanly beauty in vocals.
that's the coolest thing I have seen/heard in the past three months.
Jewel does not get enough credit!!!! What a voice!!!!
Wow..i didn't know that Jewel could sing music like this..so nice..
So.....you were born yesterday?
She studied operatic voice in college. She has a strong foundation from school & from her family, especially her dad.
Jewel is special! She did awesome!
Omg, this a perfect performance🤗
PERFECTION ❤
My Dad just recently passed. I've listened to this beautiful version daily. It helps with my difficult days.
Wow. Who new Jewel could sing like that. Amazing
It was the Holy Spirit!!!! How are you 9 months later?? Give it all to God and let him bring you to places spiritually that you have never been
Yes, she is amazing. I've always heard the purity and innocence in her voice in all of her music. But, this makes it obvious to everyone.

I was not expecting that :) Beautiful, jewel has a long career ahead of her ;)
Shivers!!! Ahhh!! :D :D She, Celine Dion, and Elvis Presley have some of the absolute best versions of many Christmas songs ever...
Exactly, the depth which the singer has experienced a particular emotion, becomes evident when they blend the words & music. She connected with the words & music perfectly to nourish the soul.
Beautiful, talented and humble.

Jewel is the most awesome singer of all time - the notes she can sing
