"-But I didn't sing this song in the show," ... "but I love this song, and I figure what the heck, this is my show now and I'll sing whatever I want!" She's so cute! and a great singer.

No one sings this song by Sondheim as well as Bernadette. You have to feel it, act and sing and she does that better than anyone. She also has analyzed each note and meaning for nuance. It simply does't get any better.

I think she stylized a little that wasn't necessary, but since she really actually understands the song, like really gets it, it's tasteful.

I remember seeing her for the first time on some daytime talk show in the 1970s - maybe Dinah Shore? She sang a torch song - I don't remember which one. She stood perfectly still in front of the microphone, and by the end of the song, a single, large tear tumbled down one of her cheeks. It was mesmerizing. She delivered all of the emotion in the song. I was hooked.

I've always been fascinated by Bernadette - my first wife looked like her, so clearly, I have a type, but what most amazes me about Bernadette is how her speaking voice, with the "little girl" squeak, and the slight lisp, somehow turns into that marvelous singing instrument. Perfect phrasing, impeccable timing, intonation and vibrato spot on, and above all, the way she connects on an emotional level, giving the lyrics meaning and content. Bernadette Peters is amazing - and while things ended poorly with my first wife, I still carry a torch for Bernadette.

Great healing in the tears, in the reminder that I am not alone even when the signs around me would indicate otherwise. "Hard to see the light now, just don't let it go, things will turn out right now, we can make it so! Someone IS on your side, no one is alone." Thanks Brad, for making me stop and listen to the truths in this music :)

This and 'Children Will Listen' are two of the greatest songs Sondhiem has written. Esp. the dialogue between the Baker and Jack. I'm glad the libretto beat Phantom's. It's so much stronger and appliable to any scenerio in real life. (Without the fairytale characters, obviously.)
