Indeed and I TOTALLY miss those late 90s/early 2000s lady's fashions too...EVERY LADY...was wearing a pair of solid black, hip-hugger slacks with a flared/bell seam at the bottom. The music was great...and those simple but "very effective" PANTS were the fashion statement...it seems like we're back to a very odd version of "Mom Jeans" again, here at the end of 2022. Not appealing at all...at least to me. BCRadio
@@RSP7704 Indeed; released on September 23, 2002 through the Arista/BMG Company, produced by record label mogul CLIVE DAVIS. As a matter of fact, Michelle was NOT Clive's first choice of singing the lead, it was a male vocal; GREGG ALEXANDER from "The New Radicals", whose pitch & timbre is right up there with Branch's vocal style. But even after Alexander completed his vocal recording onto the session tape, Mr. Davis was still not happy and...believe it or not...asked the great TINA TURNER to replace Alexander's vocal track! Already in her mid 60's, she agreed and Davis loved the recording, BUT, a music video had to be filmed of the piece and Turner turned that down. Davis then asked MACY GRAY to record the lead, but unfortunately, Davis didn't feel Gray's deep & sultry contralto range did not fit well in the lead vocal spot. It was at that point, MICHELLE BRANCH was commissioned to lay down the final vocal track and participate in the filming of the music video. DANG!!! I knew I should have been Casey Kasem! BCRadio
It's ok. The reverbs and studio work really enhances the song and her voice otherwise it's standard fare you'd find in most teenager's bathroom and bedroom. Nothing about her voice really knocks my socks off.
i've watched several live versions of this song: it is probably a matter of taste but it do not think that she has a special voice. studio version is something different, but live version is bad...(coming from somebody who cannot sing for sure...)
@@kleinepaal she’s a singer/songwriter. Not a popstar singer. There was a difference back then. Now they’re all the same. Just look pretty. Branch could play guitar and actually write songs and sing live. Nowadays it’s not necessary. Just need to look hot. Nothing else required
He is indeed. He is one of the last great guitar players in the world.In Mexico he hasn´t received the honor he deserves. There is a statue of him in Autlán, his hometown, but people there are not fans of him
He is mexican, an illegal immigrant at a time, but he became a legend like most good guitar players of his time: Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page these four are in the hall of fame of the most skilled guitar players. Of course hendrix is on the top jejejeje

2 notes and you know it's Carlos. He makes it seem so effortless, but no one can play like him. The solo on the studio recording of this song is perfect, glad they got that take on that day. Perfection.
@@pieceofshitzu2 Yup, right before social media became a huge thing. My group of friends loved her when we were kids. If she was in her prime and released her songs now, they would even be bigger hits with CZcams, Spotify, the other social media channels, and all!
whenever i listen to music from the 90s and early 2000s i almost cry. the world really has changed. Why cant we all just get along and be happy like we once could?
Never gonna happen again. I hate to say it but I truly believe it. Things will only get worse. We have our media ti thank for the vast majority of it. CNN, msnbc, Fox, abc, etc, etc. all pushing division day after day. You must hate who they tell you to hate and you must accept who they tell you to accept. Even if it comes down to chopping parts off your child. You must accept it. All in the name of “peace”
What a great song! I love the way Carlos let's his guest artists perform while he accompanies them on his guitar and then makes sure he gives them the applause! He is such a humble and giving performer. I would love to meet him some day, it would be such an honor!
Yes that's it! Touch peoples heart, it doesn't matter who we are! Music doesn't care about gender, color, background. It's the magic and that's about everything there is in life.
Michelle is the real deal puts out so much great music that just doesn't get heard but I find it a real trip listening to her stuff but her connection with Carlos was really really special on this song LIVE
Omfg his speech about doing music that touches all ages and nationalities and having every artist wanting to do his music with him brought tears to my eyes. Im so sappy Lol. Few things make me cry. He got me! Hes so awesome. Listen to that guitar man. Holy Mother of Jesus, thank you God for blessings us with Carlos!!!

I traveled from home in LA to Thailand the year this album came out for Holiday. I was sitting in a GoGo bar with pretty young ladies on each side of me, sipping a cocktail and a Stunner came walking up the runway dancing to this song... I knew that my brothers who fought in the Vietnam war took R and R for a few weeks to the area and bars I was visiting. I was 10yo in 1969. It was a melancholy trip and gave me a connection to those who fought in that war. I’ve been to Santana concerts over several decades, from Ann Arbor, Michigan to home here in SoCal. Long live Carlos Santana!
Carlos picked the perfect Honey Michelle Branch to sing " The Game of Love". What a delivery given by Michelle ! Beautiful smile and movements. A special personality with an innate ability to transmit " Love". Dale Power ! Impersionante ! Vamos!
Mis ojos se llenan de aguita salada del orgullo de ver a carlitos santana en nue york no habia visto y es poner el nombre de mi patria en otras tierras viva mexico❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Gracias mi cuate y a quien comparte😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Amazing, and it sounds terrific, cause live performing on tv is very difficult to make it sounds great. That's the reason most of artists do playback, but this is totally live and sounds awesome.
Such a delight to be able to comment with all of you beautiful people. I absolutely adore Carlos, father to thousands of street children, inspirational, beautiful, wise, humble, how Blessed we are to have him taking us to heaven with a sweep of his hand.
Of course, carlos would be the first to agree that we are the Children of God. I simply referred to the charities he has set up to look after homeless children apologise!
Nick said "father to thousands of street children" quit bitching and nitpicking with your rude unGODly rhetoric the statement was intended for us to think about what what we should do for each other when we are blessed , you ruin that EvaEva

He's all about the higher realm very spiritual, I somehow came across this listening to SRV, anyhow I used to do this song with a band I was in some years back and and brought back some good memories.I remember how fun it was playing this tune and now I know why It was on the setlist, it was good to see them jam ,nice vocal ,great guitar really good stuff, I'm happy to have seen it
Don't ask why I love Carlos Santana. We all should have his mentality...we should be moving toward completeness as humans. He doesn't have to apologize to anyone...He has been tolerant of the goons who would play crap music on the radio and won't play his music!
New World Order. False Heaven On Earth Spewing Garbage Out Of His mouth. .... False Heaven On Earth !!! Returning to the light of Lucifer,are you spiritually unable to discern what he's really saying?
I dont know why the late 90's-early 2000's were awesome had great music, economy was good, not alot of controversy, accept 9-11 gone but forgotten. It was just great, a time to remember.
Great, legendary artist! Santana's music helped me make it thru hell for a year in Viet Nam! Glad to see that he is helping young artists get the chance to showcase their talents now. Great man and beautiful music!

That, my friends, is how you sing a song live, without electronic enhancements and backing tracks. Kudos to you,, Michelle.
Carlos is a treasure of this earth.
Third stone king.
The game of love, released 9-23-2002. Still sounds great in 2-26-24!
Music is timeless
you got that right brother.
Hard to believe this song is 20 years old...where did all the time go? What a legend!

Everything is done with God's grace. What a great statement of faith from a mainstream musician.
Amen to Carlos !
Absolutely.................couldn't said it better.
That girl can sing live......Wow.....what a Voice....

yeah she's an OK singer, not a great one, but then Kylie can't sing a note and she's a superstar 😨😂
major crush 😍

Thanks for responding, Jim. Sorry to hear that people in his home town don't favor him. I love the guy, from what I know of him.
This man is incredible in every way possible. Thank you God for gifting this world with Carlos Santana.
20 years of my life just flew by ?
We lived a lot !!!!❤
That guitar and that voice! Just perfection!!!! ❤❤❤

I agree 100%
He is very religious. I can’t get enough of him since 1968. Whatever singer he picks is outstanding. The instrumentals are all good
Carlos is a beautiful person who touches peoples hearts and makes their souls dance with the joy of love.
I really appreciate Carlos' wisdom and outlook in life
We Need More Carlos Santana In This World.
2 notes and you know it's Carlos. He makes it seem so effortless, but no one can play like him. The solo on the studio recording of this song is perfect, glad they got that take on that day. Perfection.
To me it’s like B.B one note and you know it’s Carlos
He's a favourite of mine but he had a shocker on that solo in the video ha ha
I can't believe Michelle Branch didn't have more hit songs because she really has a great singing voice.
Very sexy voice Santana and Branch perfect match
She had a bunch!
It's just that it all happens between the years 2000-2005 😅😂
Agreed tottaly! Very sad for we!

I couldn’t agree more! Only thing I could add is since Im a boomer! It’s the 50s, 60s, 70’s and 80s too!!
Because no natter what we do, or say, without Jesus we are nothing🙏❤️
I can't say no to him either !! Love and Peace to Carlos, his family and friends forever !
Thumbs up to Carlos for giving God honor.
but he smokes weed lol
Don't care, God is made up character in a book
You meant Lucifer.
Wrong God. Carlos isn't referring to the Lord Jesus Christ when he says "God."

Agreed tottaly! Big artist, but, very humble! 👏👏👌👌👍👍
Right!! Very new strategy of his to not sing to his music.
One of those moments in time and space.
Yes that's it! Touch peoples heart, it doesn't matter who we are! Music doesn't care about gender, color, background. It's the magic and that's about everything there is in life.
Santana is a genius. So many American musicians were influenced by him. Great music. Great voice.
"Michelle Branch" was only (19 years old) when she did this song.
She's my age now I'm 37
18
I had the maddest crush on her!! Shoot...I still do...
@@pastense Too bad, She’s married to a guy I went to high school with, by the name of Patrick Carney.
@@TheWaynelds Lol so what? I also see some domestic violence charges lol who knows
2024: amazing performance!
"We come from the light, and return back to the light"
Shes better then most singers live!! Holy shit I love her
The melody from his guitar gives me goose bumps....for real. Michelle sounds great too.
Beautiful voice ( Beautiful woman)
Michelle is the real deal puts out so much great music that just doesn't get heard but I find it a real trip listening to her stuff but her connection with Carlos was really really special on this song LIVE

Always wondered why Michelle Branch wasn't a bigger name in the biz. I love her music/voice.
I was 12 years old when this album came out. I heard his music on the radio and FELL IN LOVE! His music truly for every age, he makes masterpieces! ❤

Michele Branch and Santana are awesome together...MORE is needed! Michele is amazing!
I love Michelle Branch! She's so talented...💚🎸
That beginning guitar intro is as good as it gets! Michelle Branches vocals fit perfectly! Love how she sings "why" it sounds so strong and clear!
Carlos is just so gifted One of a kind ❤
Damn his eyes....such heartfelt beauty...both him and Michelle😎he opens and brings the light to those in need everyday...
A very humble and blessed man.
absolutely magic between Carlos and Michelle - they really get off on each other - very cool!
Carlos you beautiful person an amazing soul and still talks like he’s still in the 1960s
This album is pure gold
This is the kind of song that sets something off , in a different way, each time you hear it... truly amazing 🙏
Carlos Santana is really a proud of México and all latin América,orgullo de México y toda Latinoamérica 👏👏👏👏
Viva Mexico
He is Spanish sport, not Mexican
@@markhill9275 you're out of your mind.
proud es un adjetivo, no se puede usar como un nombre así en inglés. Podrías decir que "he's the pride of Mexico and all Latin America."
@@pumasgoya gracias bro 👍
He is an amazing man in every way. I have the pleasure of knowing his lead singer, Andy Vargas. The whole bad is really that kind and humble
The vibe. The vibe of this song and the occasion come flying thru the screen. Sensational.

first couple of chords of this song an wow!! takes me back to 2002. Where did all of my years go. Carlos is such a legend!!!
Amazing, and it sounds terrific, cause live performing on tv is very difficult to make it sounds great. That's the reason most of artists do playback, but this is totally live and sounds awesome.
saw Carlos live last night at the House of Blues in Anaheim. He still has it
And no autotune. ❤

Don´t forget. He was an illegal immigrant and now he is a legend.
Well said
This what He says.. Touching our Hearts.. Great!
my heart sings with joy
WOW! How I miss this days! When people were real, mistakes were real, when sexy was sexy and only that.

I dont know why the late 90's-early 2000's were awesome had great music, economy was good, not alot of controversy, accept 9-11 gone but forgotten. It was just great, a time to remember.
We were at war and have not gotten out of war....:/..
What the fuck does that even mean?
Yourtube No, that you were you're mom's mistake.
