I don't think people really recognize the gift of Kirk Franklin with his ability to arrange and put together the right voices. He's a genius!

You nailed it! He is deserving of each and every award past, present, and to come!

@Taryn Givan AND you can sing along to his work after 1 listen 😁.

The best Gospel songwriter ever in my opinion. This guy has written for everyone from misissippi mass choir and georgia mass to Creating the new style of gospel. Hes amazing

He's amazing!

Right! I was just asking recently has he ever NOT written a hit? Everything that man touches musically is a hit!

Tyrese completes this song. I love everyone in it but when he comes in with his voice it gives you goosebumps.

Yesssssssssss

Simply amazing! Chills!

STUCK!!!!😂

This right here I smiled Everytime he sang

Perfect vocal runs.

Kirk is a musical genius!! This man is directing a whole choir virtually!! He's a bad man! All their voices mesh so well together! This is AWSOME!!!!

A LET US PRAY FOR HIS SON KERRION , HE NEEDS HIS FATHER MORE THAN EVER LET US PRAY FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY WHEN APRIL 26TH 2022 YOU'RE PRAYING FOR A BREAKTHROUGH WE'RE PRAYING FOR DELIVERANCE FOR KERRION WILL BE SET FREE AND THAT HIS WHOLE FAMILY WILL SUPPORT HIM IN HIS TIME OF NEED

@misha williams yes u right pray for him he's going through alot

Can we take a moment to truly appreciate the effort it took to create this?! They had to coordinate soooo many different things. The parts, the performance videos, the audio, the videos, the harmonies, and all the editing while in different places. I can only imagine the teamwork it took to simply coordinate all this, create it, and edit it. Much respect! And then the VOCALS!! The power of the voice on DISPLAY! So great to see people using music as therapy and a way to spread positive vibes! I'm SMILING! :)

Like they say when u doing what u love it never feel like work. So EVERYONE here and the teams who created this behind the scene and we know Kirk Franklin love and have that gift of putting voices together in the correct spot for that part like no other. So this was probably the 1st project of the pandemic that anyone actually enjoyed putting together from the editors to the ppl helping them be in the correct camera to the ppl who help style some of them on their own personal teams this was probably a joy to do and I said that a year ago the effort put behind this video to just give the world a lil ray of sunshine and hope to make it by through that storm all did an amazing job and helped transform so many lives even tho the song is old this video still had any and everyone listening(even me watching it yet once again) SMILING from the inside out. If anyone can remain mad or sad after seeing and hearing this video then, now or in the future have a frozen heart I play it ANYTIME I’m down and instantly feel better thankful for everyone who help make this video even possible from top to bottom beginning to end!!

Amen I love the world is coming together ❤️ 💝💖💗

Mhen .....I LOVE YOY 😘

YES YOU!

UNDERSTAND THE NATURE 🤏🏽

Fantasia was out on this earth to sing, and bring joy through her voice. Such a blessing.

She looks amazing with the cropped cut and glasses 👍🏿❤️🏆

Amen. Yes she is. That was such a nice thing to say. Thanks for sharing. It's rare that people want to be kind nowadays. That is so unfortunate.

My favorite ❤❤

I love her💯🥰

yes and Kelly Price with Le andria and my boyfriend Johnathan Mc Reynolds you cannot lose

The fact that Fantasia is standing!!!! She just can't contain her joy as she sings!!! 👏👏👏👏

Right I love her and her voice

yes singing is really her passion

Amen

Hu moo moo moo

@Niesha Baker my

I'm fighting cancer and every single morning before treatment I listen to this 🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️It makes me feel blessed

Stay strong dear, and keep smiling

@Nonkululeko Dambuza thank you 🥰🥰

@Tess Jay thank you 🥰🥰

Keep smiling! He sees you....

Tyrese put the icing on the cake!!! His voice is fire and it added a little R&B taste to it as well! ❤❤

Right?! I didn't know if I should say "Praise, Jesus" or say "Ooooh, baaaby"! Haha

The guy in the blue jacket took it to another level. He gave me chills. Almost like the holy spirit jumped in him and his whole body was illuminated with it. Loved it.

YAAAASS🙌🏾🙌🏾

He is a former winner from Sunday's Best

Tyrese killed it. 🔥

YAAA'SSS

He was perfect to bridge all the sounds together

Yessssssssssssssssssss

I listened to this in a Recovery house and I Promise you im still clean and still while im out walking i listen to it until i get in my home ......FACTS THANKS TO THEM ALL

some ppl forget he can sing

Fantasia just hits differently. Just so unique.

I think she was the best , just pure vocals, pure authentic singing.

They all did Wonderful but I Agree!!! I just love her. She's is not meant to blend in, that girl just does it. 💜💜

The fact that FANTASIA barely even knew the words & still cut up!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Yes Amen 🙏🏿🙏🏿💜💜🙏🏿

😂Facts!

Right!!! Nailed it!!!!

100...

Gifted!!!!!!!

This definitely wasn't a competition. Everyone brought what they do to the table. Fantasia brought turkey, Kelly brought mac n cheese, Jonathan brought greens, Le'Andria brought yams, Melvin brought mashed potatoes, Tyrese brought chicken, and Kirk and his crew brought the desserts and drinks and said....Let's Eat. TIme for a 2nd helping !!

So beautifully put.🤗🤗🤗

Jermaine Moore Wow!!! I felt your sentiments exactly- once we allows our GIFTS NOT Egos make room for us . Then shall the abundance - milk 🥛 & honey 🍯 run is over . ✊🏾❤️

J Cole Yessir

Great analogy my friend!!!!

🤣😄🤣😅😄Yesssssss!Glory!🖐🏽☝🏽

They literally SNAPPED on this version. I NEED this in my life.

Yeppir!!!.. Tyrese and the young man in the blue jacket rocked it....not to forget the uncomparable Leandria Johnson and the powerful Kelly Price!!!

Tears in my eyes and a smile in my heart.

I have been a single mother for over 18 years. I almost gave up on ever finding true love. Today I smile because the man I am in love with just sent me this song without knowing it is one of my all time best Christian music. He said he loves me and he is praying for us. I think I may have manifested my God ordained husband 🥰🙏🥰.

I will pray with you too🤗🤗🤗🤗

Aw!!!! This is so precious. Congratulations 🎊

That is soooooooooo awesome and a blessing. God bless you my sister. Won't He do it, girl didn't He do it. Amen. SMILE!!!

Congratulations 🎊 👏

God Bless you Its your time and what God has for you is going to be BIG! Amen

How did I miss this when they recorded it?? I certainly did not expect Tyrese & you know you can't have any gospel medley without Kelly Price & Fantasia!! LOVE IT!!!

This was during the beginning of covid.

Loved it! This was the first time I actually heard Jonathan Mcreynolds sing..wow! His sound pulls you right in. So soothing, ...so smooth, angellic. I'm just a fan of each singer involved. On my playlist for years and years.. Can't hear them enough..individually or together! So great job of coordinating Kirk Franklin!

Guy in the blue Jean jacket sanggggggg !! Dnt knw who he is but he gave me life. Him, Fantasia & Tyrese, ate this song up ! That damn. Tasia & them runs get me every time. 🙌🏽

Every time.

I mean Effortless too!

That would be Melvin Crispell III, and I want him and Fantasia to do a gospel duet SO bad.

Girl I searched through these comments hoping I found that man name !!! He went off !

I love this song and they all sound amazing

Only Fantasia can take you to church without knowing all the lyrics! ❤️😂❤️

Maybe she actually does know the words and is just trying to prove she learned how to read.

Millz Dinz Sis had the whole phone out and everything! Lol

Yaass💯🤣🤣🤣🤣

Boss moves!!!

adrian wiltshire she was asked at the last minute

This is a beautiful song ! I truly enjoy seeing all the artist come together on this track . To God be the Glory 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Kelly, Tyrese & fantasia were FANTASTIC💕

YES! And the guy in the blue jacket came with it too! But you can’t beat GREATNESS!!

This is Grammy worthy!!!🏆🏆

Fantasia legit give me chills every single time she performs. Like that girl make you want to stand up. And Melvin can SANG, damn.

You know these folks can sang for real because ain’t nobody in the studio lol

True. I thought the say thing lol

The anointing!!

Nia Moore you understand these are prerecorded vocals right?

Exactly

Exactly!!!😍😍😍😍

They all have beautiful heart warming voices

The way Tasia said “shmiiiiile” at 4:45 🙌🏾 😂 I felt that! ❤️

😂😂😂 I would've never noticed that if you didn't point it out!

Same here!!! I felt that in my soul man!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I don’t think Fantasia even knows how anointed she is. Wow

Fantasia is so soulful 🥰😇🙏🙏🙏🙏

Fantasia killed that ending‼️

Fantasia, LeAndria Johnson AND "THE" Kelly Price on one song together, WOW!!!🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾

fa real man, they did that

That part!

I can’t stop playing this video. I don’t know all the talented people singing but my God have they all put a smile on my face today!! Thank you God for giving all of these amazing black people gifts to share with the world!! ❤️

Did they not bring it? Beautiful harmonies! Kirk sure did put together the right group of artists to make this happen .😘

This was genius. That Fantasia , that Fantasia🙏🏾🔥🔥🚨

This hits my Spirit! The arrangement, the voices, can’t do anything but SMILE! All of these voices are truly a blessing!

Fantasia specializes in vocal perfection

Those Background Singers are unsung heroes, they put the icing on the cake.

God's property!

Tammye Moore I didn’t see any cake.

The background singer with the short blonde hair is a local artist from Fort Worth named Melodie Pace. She’s a vocal beast.

Lost a very dear friend a few months ago and was just scrolling through videos when I came across this video. Watching this has reminded me to smile and not to give up. Thank you everyone of you for sharing your voice. My spirit is being lifted.

So sorry for your loss. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Phenomenal … they did that and I smiled through the whole song. Black Excellance!

It’s Fantasia for me matter of fact it’s everybody for me I’m here for it 💯❤️

I listen to this song everyday. It’s such a beautiful medley of voices and brings me so much joy!

And I commend this man. With all that's been going on in his life for so long, he's found a way to make us smile

Fantasia is a whole vibe! Kirk Franklin is music royalty! True artistry! Only he can get all these artists together and just kill it! Kirk for president!

I am a Christian and when I hear this I dance and when u dance I feel free it's amazing God is incredible God bless you

Tyrese has come a LONG WAY from singing that Coke jingle on the bus(🚍)...his mega watt smile is EVERYTHING...☺️

Do do do do do always Coca Cola yeah

Amazing, uplifting, and a spectacular host of exceptional voices. Kirk Franklin is a musical genius indeed ❣️🙏🏽

This gives me chills it’s just so beautiful!

Yesssss!!!!!!

I'm a 4th semester nursing student with finals tomorrow. It's 8:19am and I was headed for my 2nd panic attack of the day and turned this on and it calmed all my nerves and anxiety❤️❤️❤️

This was a beautiful arrangement and the voices and ranges were outstanding! I’m glad i saw this today. it definitely lifted my spirits!

Y’all better take y’all butt in that studio and make the biggest album of all time😳 are you serious right now😳 all that power on this remix😳 are you serious right now!!!! OMG!! I nearly fell out on the floor!! Who else can bring already great voices together for an awesome rendition of Smile but Kirk Franklin!! Once again are you serious 😳🤦‍♂️ I’m just speechless!! No I’m just confused! No, I’m just ready to hear this again 🤣🤣🤣

Playing it over and over again

Play it over and over make a remix

Couldn't have said it better!!!

They need to make this another single, just like this no editing

@Joyce Cunningham I went and downloaded just like it was

I am just imagining after this pandemic and these artists step on center stage to deliver this performance god it's gonna be a performance to remember I want to be there.

Man this was absolutely amazing

Stuck! UNDERSTAND THE NATURE! STUCK——ON IT!

Kirk you did that I really mean it from my heart. You put some of the best R&B singers together and made magic. I really enjoyed this today and I'll never forget it.JB 11/22/78 ABOUT TO PLAY IT AGAIN 😭😭

Escutar essa musica com essas vozes tão belas tornam minhas manhãs melhores. Deus abençoe a todos!

Gosto muito dessa versão. Amor Fantasia!

Came back for that good feeling! ❤

Same!

Yessss me too

Kelly's groans, Jonathan's effortless vocals, Melvin Crispell energy, Le"Andria's Soul, Fantasia's Feelings, Tyrese's Smoothness. I LOVE IT ALL!! I feel like this needed nothing more, but would've been so much more had it included KeKe Wyatt!

Facts!! Tyrese has a BEAUTIFUL voice! They all do!

Amen, I so agree

This is my 4th time listening to this since Kirk put this on his page

I was thinking the same thing.. honey kirk knows I hope it is not jealousy or she is being black balled.

I love it!,

Tyrese will always be the young man sitting in the back of the bus singing in that coca cola commercial! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I just can’t get enough of this even after these years!

There are a select few that can sing ANYTHING and you'd not only listen, but you'd listen over and over and over again! Fantasia is truly one of those individuals! I appreciate her so much and find it sad that she wasn't discovered before American Idol and to those who looked over her way back then, all i can do is SMH at you.

This is my go to song when I’m feeling low. It’s my inspiration. Thanks brothers and sisters and friends of Kirk.

ouço tanto essa musica que estou quase aprendendo inglês,vai vendo.sorria ((SMILE))

Anyone else hit replay? I know I did. SOOO POWERFUL...gave me goosebumps the whole time. JUST BEAUTIFUL!!♥️🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾♥️

earth_angel_222 ♥️

I did

Not only have I replayed it more than 5 times this morning, but I have listened several times daily since it was uploaded. Any time I feel any negative emotions try to creep up, I hear tyrese in my head singing Smiiiiiiiiiiillle for me... and my mood is lifted.

I love this song so much I’ve been battling depression for over 4 years now and this songs brings me so much joy

How could you possibly out a thumbs down with this powerful message. Y’all ain’t listening, that’s why there is so much turmoil in this world. It’s called LOVE. I’m going through my storm right now and this was just uplifting to my spirit. That’s why I smile

As an atheist, gospel music still hits! I must say this is perfection. I knew it was about to be good when I saw kirk Franklin, Fantasia, and Kelly Price. I clicked so fast. Everyone held their own and sounded so good!

Interesting.......

They all SANG that but Fantasia gave me chills!!

There was so many beautiful voices in this one song! 👏🏽 Kirk knows how to put them together.

tyrese's part really completed the whole thing!! I loved his tone and everything!!!

Absolutely!

I Was Just Getting Ready To Say That

Yessssssssss

Yes..yes

I watched his part like 10 times...

Fantasía’s voice oh my God she can’t contain her joy

That first guys voice is sooo smooth and soothing. It's such a perfect tone with soo little effort. All of these voices. Including the group of background vocals. This is my first time watching and I am in awe!!! Guy with the Jean jacket.. KILLING IT ON ALL CYLINDERS!! TYRESE WAS SMOOTH AND CONTROLED. KELLY PRICE, FANTASIA, MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!! LE'ANDRIA!! I MEAN IT IS AMAZING

They all were amazing! I remember hearing KP for the first time like 20 years ago…she still killing it. McReynolds’ vocals are dangerous!

Fantasiaaaaaaa!

I swear Jonathan McReynolds voice is like silk sheets, so smooth and silky.

A version of “I Smile” we never knew we needed but so THANKFUL we received it 😍

Amen

Can I get an "Amen" up in here?

Amen. Thank you Jesus 🙌

Facts

Amen. I definitely needed this. It really spoke to my soul.

Kirk Franklin is a minister of music who has the ability to collaborate various artists into a great gospel song. Great music 🎶

Fantasia, Kelly Price and the guy with the Jean jacket was SANGING! Everyone was SANGING‼️ 🙏🏿🤍

I'm dealing with sickness and so is my father and this song touches my soul every time I hear it thank you lord God!!

I hate every single one of them for this amazing virtual performance!!!! Such powerful artists together, it’s just so beautiful!!!

I love my brother Kirk Franklin, met him at a cd promotion at J&R Music World, in NYC in 2005 when his Hero CD was released. He’s a humble brother and it was an awesome day praise God, because we praised the Lord with his songs and we had church up in that store. Today I needed to listen to an uplifting song and I remembered this song, and praise God almighty I love this version with all my brothers and sisters singing and I love it. Thank You Jesus.

The 9yr angelversary of my twins is coming up and every year I listen to this song to lift my spirits. I listen until I can get through the song without crying this year it only took me repeating the song 3 times which is truly a blessing.❤

I love these singers, they are truly gifted, but when Tyrese started to sing...my heart...my heart...this is a voice and a warrior that belongs to the kingdom of GOD! The anointing is too obvious!!🙏

Fantasia’s voice is pure butter. Smooth and beautiful!

She is great. I don't care if she had paper in her hand-- she did Great to me

She is the truth

All the bomb voices and together just magnifying but the young man in the blue jean jacket..his voice is amazing....Love it!!! 💕

Fantasía said “I don’t know the words yet, but I’ma take you to church anyway” 😂😩👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I'm surprised there isnt more gospel singers like mary mary.

Roccontrolz22 Right.... I guess they didn’t have time 🤷🏽‍♀️

Only Kirk could pull this off. So grateful for this man and all the singers.

No joke was about to post Kirk knew exactly. What? He was doing getting this bunch together.

So true 👍

Y’all did that! Thank you so very much ❣️

I randomly wanted to hear this , as was listening/ driving down through street and and burst into tears. I needed to this even more than I could imagine today. Thank you JESUS !!! May God bless everyone reading this and no matter your storm remember, "you look so much better when you smile" 😉🙏🏽❤
