Linda Eder singing 'Someone Like You' with Frank Wildhorn on the piano. Seriously, this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written...

People who can " sing" are a dime a dozen...but only singers like Linda Eder give the listener the full emotional impact that great music deserves.. believing the lyrics, i think, is key..there has to be something there behind and beyond the words..Also she has great lungs ! TRUE talent... beautiful song too !

My wife saw Linda Eder on The Today Show some years ago and told me about her. We were about to leave the NYC metro area in 2004 and got 3rd row tickets to see Linda Eder in concert with the Boston Pops at Radio City. WOW. What an evening, sadly capping it off with her own rendition of NY NY. We hated leaving. Been a fan ever since - crystal clear perfect pitch voice at any volume, very little vibrato, if any. Barbra Steisand comparisons? PULLEASE. Streisand is too nasally and can't hold a candle to Eder. I listen to this song so often. Timeless. Incomparable. Spectacular range, volume control, and tonal quality. Perfection.

Linda Eder is a wonderful performer but anyone who thinks her rendition of this song compares in any way to Lea Salongas is dreaming. No pause, no fading from one level to another with her voice, unparalleled enunciation and raw emotion. This does not diminish Linda Eder in any way, yet Lea Salonga stands alone as the greatest female singer ever. Listen to the two renditions and judge for yourself. No contest.

@na1959 3 жыл бұрын

@@donschmidt8203 I did. I prefer linda's. Pauses reflect emotion and so does fading. There's nothing inferior about doing that in respect to not doing that, both are clearly artistic choices and linda's fit better for the role. Lea is my favourite broadway artist, so you can tell I'm giving it from a totally unbiased view. This is a cry of desperation and linda's power is up to the task to reach the sky. The grit, the power in her lungs, the rawness and distortion of her voice represent her character to the bone. Lea's voice is too crystal and clear for lucy type of down in the dumps character (with a hint of cockney) (just like fantine), the role requires some resistance in your voice. Linda was made for this role and her rendition will always be the best. The climax of the song blows my socks of with linda. You need down and dirty here not clear and angelic. Don't get me wrong. Lea has perfected the formula to deliver any song with proper form of emotion, perfect diction and voice. But her voice type is not the best for any song. She's a storyteller but that doesn't mean she will deliver all songs the best. Pleasant and clear doesn't always mean best in broadway. If that was so, you'd have everyone trying to be like lea. Lea is an artist who can sound great in any song. But that's not the point. Again, don't get me wrong..lea has been kim, she has some similarities to this character. I mean technically, kim can also count as down in the dumps character. But the reason lea works as kim but not lucy because of how young kim is. And then the narrative changes to her being a mother and then lea's voice is completely appropriate for that. Lucy is the kind of character who's a smartass because she's seen all. She thinks she knows all men and is cynical as heck about it. But when for the first time she gets hope..that's the fading for. Because she's an older character , so her voice fades in that nostalgic but hopeless (because she's cynical) type of way as she thinks about her miserable past. Kim was young, so her voice is still filled with naivety and is timid in comparison because of the fear she has. (That's why her voice works so well on characters like Kim and even eponine.) When kim gets hope with sun and moon, it's more eager while when lucy gets hope it's constrained, hence the pauses. Kim's voice matures but it's more in the motherly "I am a dignified woman now", fashion. People have their own preferences. I'm not dreaming or delusional to think linda's is superior.

@@donschmidt8203 Lea Salonga is my favorite singer so I listened to both versions and I have to disagree with you. Linda’s is much better. Which is crazy cause Lea is almost always better and even when she’s not, she’s pretty close. I was going to explain in detail but I just read NAs reply to you and he said it better than I ever could. Lea sounded like a Disney princess. It didn’t have the raw emotion and texture that this song needs.

If someone like you Found me! So many secrets I long to share All I have needed Is someone there To help me see a world I've never seen before A love to open every door To set me free So I can soar If someone like you Found someone like me Then suddenly Nothing would ever be the same There'd be a new way to live A new life to love If someone like you Found me Oh, if someone like you Found someone like me Then suddenly Nothing would ever be the same My heart would take wing And I'd feel so alive!

I think if Linda Eder had become well known in the 60s, she would have been in direct "competition," but would have been more widely known. I can't think of any other reason why this didn't happen. Or, maybe there was one Barbra, and even she had to "compete" with the Beatles and other acts that came along a few years after her fame in Funny Girl.

I don't and could never understand why several people treats marriage like an acquisition of an asset - once you are done using it, dispose and acquire another. Once would be enough, i suppose - for those who were forced, under an extremely difficult situation . Weird mindset however, if that is how you define love (?), then so be it.

Judy Collins and Barbra Streisand are both totally overrated as singers. They sing with the power and intensity of a rag mop. I enjoy much of linda eders work, but I stand by lea salonga as unquestionably the greatest singer I have ever heard. She becomes each character of a song she performs. There are no flaws vocally or spiritually. I challenge every fair and objective listener out there to put aside where she comes from and truly appreciate this unprecedented talent. If she were a white American singer instead of Filipino more people would recognize her for what she is, simply the best. What I love about les mis is that it is probably the best musical ever for two reasons. Number one the incredible score and and also that they gave Lea Salonga the opportunity to play eponine and also her mother fantine in later years. The fact she wasn't white was irrelevant in their decision. There is a reason it's called acting! Surf you tube or any other medium for this womans work and you will see an unmatched treasury of musical artistry. Throw out that she isn't white. That has no place in a fair society.
