‘There's a calm surrender to the rush of day
When the heat of a rolling wind can be turned away
An enchanted moment, and it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you’
What an incredible performance from the talented Jennifer Hudson! In the video, Jennifer Hudson is singing ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight’ at the Hollywood Bowl, which is an amphitheater in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, California. She is in a breathtaking, sparkly dress with a full orchestra playing behind her. And many people online shared their thoughts on the singer’s lovely performance.
“Jennifer Hudson, you looked like a Disney princess – absolutely stunning! Your voice was as beautiful as ever. Thank you for the performance,” one person writes online after watching the video.
“She commands that stage! She is truly given one of the greatest gifts ever. There are few in her league,” another person comments on YouTube.
When it comes to ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight,’ the beautiful song was featured in the Disney movie The Lion King when the main character, Simba, falls in love with his childhood friend Nala, to the dismay of his friends Timon and Pumbaa. Elton John was the one who wrote the song, and the voice actors in the film sang the song in the movie scene. Elton John’s version plays over the film's end credits.
At first, the song was originally supposed to be a parody by Timon and Pumbaa, but Elton John wanted it to be this big romantic number. That’s when it was reworked as a love song about Simba and Nala's budding romance. The reception of ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight’ went so well that it won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1995.
Jennifer Hudson did an incredible job with her rendition of ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight,’ and we hope you enjoyed listening to her sing it today!
