I like the studio version better, surprisingly, while I liked both Kelly's and Diana's live versions more.

The studio version of "I Believe" is over five minutes long. I heard that they added a second verse before the bridge (which it was definitely missing), but I'm not sure because I didn't get the single yet.

Yes there is in fact another verse.
iTunes has her single up, but they don't have "I Believe". They only posted "Summertime" and "Chain Of Fools".

Fantasia sings the shit out of this song. It'll go number one on pop.

Incredible….by far the best song to come from the Idol series. (the ones I’ve heard at least) I am so happy for Louis Biancaniello and Sam Watters…they are by far the two most underrated songwriter/producer team in the business. Every song they do is an absolute smash. Fantasia sounds great on this track; however I do have one small complaint. In the “love keeps lifting me higher” part, her riffs seem to be a bit out of place. When she sang that part live on the finale two performance show, it was perfect. She should have just copied what she did for that performance. At any rate, I hope radio finds room for “I Believe.”

From that small clip, I think I'm going to love the studio version more than the live.

I changed my mind about this song. I thought the performance sucked but last night my stepmom bought me the "I Believe" CD Single and the studio version rocks.

FANTASIA I Believe Producer(s): Louis Biancaniello Writer(s): T. Gray, S. Watters, L. Biancaniello Publisher(s): various Genre: POP Label/Catalog Number: J 82876 62644 (CD single) Source: Billboard Magazine Originally Reviewed: July 03, 2004
Fantasia is America's newest sweetheart, according to the 30 million-plus votes she received on the season finale of the third installment of "American Idol." With such an unprecedented voter response, the North Carolina native gives new meaning to the word "winner." While "I Believe" is poised to reach the summit of the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Sales chart, there is no guarantee that radio will follow suit. Simply put, radio airwaves may be experiencing "Idol" overload, in the wake of singles from Kimberley Locke, Clay Aiken, Kelly Clarkson, Josh Gracin, Ruben Studdard, Tamyra Gray, Diana DeGarmo and Justin Guarini. Still, Fantasia ably delivers on this over-the-top power ballad, complete with soaring strings and a backing choir. Like R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly," "I Believe"—co-penned by Gray—offers syrupy-sweet inspiration for the masses. Also included are two covers: "Chain of Fools" and "Summertime," which, depending on one's predilection, will either delight or bewilder.—MP

Gorgeous, but I'd have preferred the longer version.

I agree. I love that choir part because it gives the song some energy. If they had to, I'd have loved to see the second verse edited out like how she performed it live.
