Ruben Studdard - Celebrate Me Home Lyrics

WHEN I LEAVE THIS EARTH, I WANT THIS PLAYED AT MY CELEBRATION BECAUSE I WILL BE HOME WITH MY HEAVENLY FATHER AND SAVIOR.

For you 45 who didn't like this song you suck

I love this version.

Not gonna dis Mr. Ruben, he sings better than I ever will!! But nothing comes close to the soul and life that Kenny Loggins put into the original!

Beautiful version 👏🏾 those of you comparing to Kenny version remember Kenny had Patty Austin and Gwen Guthrie on backing vocals...

Hands Down! This is the very best version of Celebrate me Home! Thank you, God bless you Ruben Studdard, peace be with you

brilliant i love ruben

James Ingram would kill it, baby!

Ruben does a great job of this cover but he does not like to hustle. He works when he wants to it seems. Oh well. Great song.

I love it....

Beautiful song....

way over produced,doesn't come close to the original

because the original was for the audience back in 1977. This version was for American Idol 30 years later. If you don't like Ruben Studdard's music, you certainly would not like this version.

Wow, I was coming on here to listen to KL's version, but RS is clowning on this classic and not letting go of our ears! A new favorite has just been made and I havent even listened to his other Christmas stuff! Peace!

he really did this song justice..I like the original..but this is good too

kenny did it better

This guy can flat out sing, and maybe it's better than Kenny's.

Bruce Powell I disagree but this version is pretty good

this version is so generic

John Kokujin nothing generic about this version but imagine if he had Patti Austin and Gwen Guthrie on backing vocals like Kenny did 🤔

He did a great job on this. I wish some different artists would have done versions of this song. Aretha Franklyn, Donnie Hathaway, or how about Joe Cocker?

As a Brother in Christ...Thank You Mr. Studdard for giving the song life and a soulful deep down truthful version of it.

Don Purciful have you not hear the original? What the fuck you talking about

This song is about returning to God.Life after life and reaching the point that love is all that is left.
We then go home and merge with our divine creator.
oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Al Jarreau does the best rendition of this song.

No it's not

This song's about suicide.  Mind blown.  Boom.  Figuratively speaking.

No it's not. The song is about evolution to divine perfection......love.

@J.P. Hardy  It is about coming home to the center of all

no it's not. it's about missing home according to the writers. but it fits a lot of situations

Damn!! I just got home from a 3 year prison sentence and this song broke me all the way down. I praise God for my wife, my mother and father and all those behind the walls who helped me keep my head above water in turbulent seas. This will be my best Christmas ever. Thank You Jesus for helping me get home......I Love You!!

Marcus Lockhart God bless you !

Marcus Lockhart blessings to you and your family bro!

Merry Christmas my brother, I hope you are doing well.

marcus god will always be in your heart my friend . welcome home my friend.

@bubba bojanglez lol....

luv it!

Does anyone know where I can get a download for this? Not on any of his albums, not on I tunes UK either! Any links?? :)

I'm sure Clay would be happy to be the bottom.

American idol makes me wanna puke! But it was true to music when Ruban won. Now it's all sex, looks and coke and Pepsi ads. Kinda the perfect way to sum up the freak show that is modern America.

This is my favorite American Idol exit song. I thank Ruben Studdard, my 10th favorite American Idol finalist ever, for singing a great cover of a Kenny Loggins classic.

R.I.P TO ALL MY LOVE ONES I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU SO MUCH...... I WILL CELEBRATE YOU HOME.

I prefer Kenny Loggins, but this isn't bad :]

I pefer ... Donna to this...her voice alone is what makes the song stand out !

I agree with you Donna owes this song !

Donna Summer has the best version of this song I have ever heard

Donna Summer has the best version of this song...

FABULOUS TALENT!!

They need to play this as often as Kenny Loggin's version this time of year. Heck, more!

@musicmsl you sound like an old man -__-

Beautiful song! Gorgeous voice!

good voice.but I don't think he knows it.

@musicmsl ROFLMAO!!!!

@musicmsl They said Cock Asian, thats nasty

I wish this version of the song was on a cd so I could purchase it. It's a great song.
I do not download.

What an amazing version of this song! Bravo Ruben!!

@icumarie UH...Caucasians can have the spirit just like the rest of us can...come into the new millenium with the rest of us please> These types of ignorant posts show you are not to bright nor spiritually evolved..you might wanna work on that before you post anything else? Bless you anyways

Touching and lovely! Suprised to find out it was written by ... a Caucasian! Because to me it's a soul song!:.)

I NEED THE INSTURMENTAL FOR THIS SONG
DOESANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET IT?
I CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE ON THE NET

i've never heard this song from beginning to end and i didnt watch idol the first year...i always remember idol playing this when a contestant went home and loved...my mom argues clay should have won all i can say if reuben's other songs are this good NO CONTEST :)

My favourite American Idol send off song!

I remember watching American Idol 2 years ago..*sighs* those were the good times =)

And Season 7 was the best season ever!

thats sad

he voice does suit this song.

This song always makes me feel a lot better when I'm down.

My dawg. U the truth boy. You are the truth. Everytime I hear this song I think of my uncles. I miss them very much but I know their in a better place. Wish you much success playa.

every time i feel like crying i listen to this

All I can say is incredible. Sing that song, baby!!!!!

Beautiful song

i love this song
it make me think of my aunty who past

i really love this song!
its so beautiful!

I love this song. I love ruben!!

preach for ruben peeps

He is mostly into Gospel Music. It actually is a big music industry.

lol best song evar

I really love this song!

i dig it

What if Chikezie does his own version on the song? What about D'Angelo? Either one would sound great if they were to cover this song.

original version is way better, rubens a great singer don't get me wrong, but kennys version just has that sentimental holiday feel

This song is also played when the home team loses in the NBA Playoffs. This should be the standard elimination song of any reality competition TV show. This song is also covered by Ruben's runner-up Clay Aiken.

Oh SO amazing! Brought tears to my eyes just hearing this. Well done!

I love you always forever Cindy. Until they celebrate me home too. Rest in Heavenly Peace.

I like Kenny's version a bit better, but this sound really amazing.

love this song

ITunes has it.

Another one great exit song from AI, Love this one as well as Chris' "Home"...

he sings this song very well.

sry for the last comment i really love this song and i hate wen ppl bad mouth it

jackasassssssss

This song is also played when an NBA team gets eliminated in the playoffs at their home court.

makes me cry

I can't ever get thru this song without shedding tears!It reminds me of all of the relatives that I've lost over the years. It's that powerful me!!!!

this song makes me cry

i totally see that man

chillz baby everytime...i like ruben my big ol teddy bear

they do have it i got it but it might have been have a limited time thing idk

This is a perfect song for the San Antonio Spurs right now.

I love this song!! It makes me feel happy... BRAVO, Ruben!!

It's very velodic. A blessing to the drums with all the bullshit playing on the radio these days.

why this was marked as spam i don't know and that comment is a good one.

WHY MARK THINGS AS SPAM IF THEY AREN'T SPAM, PEOPLE?!

Ruben's voice is definitely perfect for this song, I love Ruben's voice...

love this song!!! makes me miss my home..

i love this song.......

THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER! I love it soooooo much, when a American Idol contestant is gone, it play's this song, and it makes me sad and happy at the same time!!

i luv this!!

Also, this song was not played upon Syesha Mercado's elimination.

Last night, Ruben Studdard played this song live at the Nokia theatre at the end of season 7's finale performance show.

He sounded amazing tonight singing live!

I love this song:)
