Am I getting something wrong? Is this an article about "Sarah Connor" or about "The Impossible Dream"? She is only one (and probably the worst) of those who covered that song. I would have expected information on the song, the lyrics, the musical, Don Quixote, Mitch Leigh or Joe Darion (the artists who actually created it seem more important to me than some 0815-singer who covered it). The list of recordings should be either chronological or alphanumeric, and only here should that singer, S. Connor, be mentioned once.

I have only included the Broadway type artists. There should be a "List of show tunes" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.239.72.25 (talk) 13:16, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that a seperate section about Sarah Connor's version makes her version stick out a bit too prominent compared to the versions of other artists but that is not a problem of too much information about her version but of not enough information about the other versions. I'm neitehr a particular fan of Sarah Connor nor of this song but I don't see how it helps this article or the wikipedia project in general to remove information only because some other information deemed more important is not yet present. The amount of information about her version of this song is in line with that about all of her others songs that were released as singles and it's not obvious to me why it shouldn't be relevant enough here when it's undisputed in all the other articels. Beyond that, the removal of this section and it's Infobox broke the crosslinking chain of Sarah Connor's singles. This crosslinking is a convinient way to navigate through all of the singles of a particular artist that is fortunatly added to a growing number of articls form many different artists. This is why I'm going to restore a slightly updated version of the Sarah Connor section from the history of this article. --X4u (talk) 10:28, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Song in Popular Culture

This song was sung by Brian Stokes Mitchell at the late Senator Ted Kennedy's memorial in the Boston Library after Ted Kennedy's funeral. It was televised live, and was an amazing performance. I don't have a link to any citation (since I have yet to see any mention or archived media of it online yet). It was an amazingly well executed performance, and deserves the recognition. -- Xidoraven (talk) 16:51, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Slaughter houses???

Methinks this is a wikipedia vandal being funny. This section needs a citation or it should be removed. 99.69.57.73 (talk) 02:48, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Time Signature

The time signature of this song is 9/8, which is worth mentioning in the article, if someone can find a source. 73.49.233.247 (talk) 19:06, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Honda Ad

Given the ad that exposed this song to many, would love to see any kind of authoritative information about that version. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.246.76.228 (talk) 14:10, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
