I love this song, which was a big hit in 1996, reaching #1 on the Hot 100 (3 wks at this spot if I remember well).
Beautiful!

It didn't go #1 on the Hot 100. It went to #4. I was never a big fan.

I really loved this song!
I really liked Prince's cover of this on Emancipation.

I hate the title.
If you search for "What If God Was One of Us" on Limewire or any other file sharing software, you'll get many singer songwriter type gals like Sheryl Crow, Jewel, and Paula Cole.

I absolutely love this song, but now everytime I hear it I think of the prematurely cancelled Joan of Arcadia and it brings me down.

one hit wonder she was.
I loved this song !!
I love the intro - she does the little yodel and the music starts (very quietly) with the main hook melody. It builds and gets louder
And then all the instruments and drums come in at once.
this was nominated for a grammy - Record of the year (i think).

i loved this song at first... but then it got old very quickly. sadly, it has gone the route of regular karaoke fare.

This was a great song but I never cared much for the album version, where it sounds like she's yodelling or something at the beginning LOL. Thank goodness for the radio edit

I went to Catholic school at the time this came out, and it was quite the scandal. I remember singing it, and one of the priests told me to stop, because the song was blasphemous. I was completely shocked, I didn't even ask why he thought that, I just shut up. Any way, I really liked it, and it remains a favorite to this day.

Yea this song was a great song...total one-hit wonder, though. I wonder what has become of her.
This song is good, it is timeless, still now you can hear it and appreciate its quality. My mom even sings it from time to time if she hears it lol.

I love it!  That's the kind of old songs I like to hear on the radio. I always thought her name was Joan Osbo urne.  |

I loved this song. And from what I remember so did VH1. They played it non-stop that summer. I also remember the grammys that year because Joan managed to get 6 or 7 nominations, but lost in every category  And although they didn't do anything, I liked her 2 follow-ups "Right Hand Man" and especially "St Teresa" which is an amazing song. |

I don't like this one. Not necessarily because of the song, but I have crappy memories associated with it.
I prefer several of her other singles.
