I have mixed feelings about this song, but lately I'm liking it a bit more.
What do you think about this song?

Olympic SMASH. I still remember hearing Gloria sing the song at the Closing Ceremonies of the Atlanta Games. Brought a tear to my eye realizing that millions and millions of people were hearing this Diane Warren co-penned song at that moment  I kinda like that the song wasn't as Olympic specific as "The Power of the Dream." You can relate to it in so many other areas of life. |

JAM! I remember this from the Olympics. It reminds me of my crush on Dominique Moceanu. (though I tend to associate the "Macarena" with her more.)

I like it -- the uptempo mixes are hot.

When I went to Gloria's concert with mi mama, I put her arms up in the air whenever Gloria sang the chorus!  |

I go back and forth on the song, however the Destiny album is fantastic.

I really like the percussion at the end of this song.

"Reach" was played on the US Music Survey three weeks ago (9/24/05) as a Flashback extra. That must have been the week that it was spending its last week on the chart. |

Love it.
This is the unfinished original director's cut version of the video.

I think this is one of her best vocal performances. I really like it when she reaches the high notes in the verses and 3:20 . I usually like Gloria ok, but her interpretations generally leave me with something to be desired (especially in her material after MSM). This was a pretty good song for me. It also was the last time she reached the Top of my personal chart.

I don't think this is one of Diane Warren's best, even though she probably made a ton of money from it. Gloria sounds like she's really reaching for the high notes, not the most pleasant sound from her. And this is coming from a true fan of hers. (the dance remixes didn't add much for me either).
