I saw her during this tour. Hollywood amphitheater. My 16th birthday. My mom got me and my younger stepsister a white stretch limo from Oxnard to Hollywood. I hung around the back door and got in to meet her. I was 16 and it was the best 10 moments of my life.

If anyone is wondering... Bernadette is 50 here. This is in 1998. But posted on KZfaq in 2008.

I saw Bernadette Peters in Gypsy as the mother about 10 or 12 years ago. She was the hardest working person I have ever seen. She gave it her all. Worked her rear off. Love her. Might I say also, Good Lord! That dress! Wow! Talented woman, but I'm drooling just looking at that.

Bernadette Peters traded her soul to Sondheim for eternal youth.

She's amazing and eternally youthful.

It is so nice to listen to someone that could actually sing this song, Bernadette Peters pulls this song off filling the complete level. She plays the role so extremely well, and can actually sing as well!!! Love her!!!!

This song suits her voice so perfectly!!!

That dress sure adds an element of suspense.

I am a HUGE fan of both Sutton Foster and Bernadette Peters and they are both amazing and totally incomparable with each other! They are so different and both INSANELY talented!! If you want to say that one of the most famous Broadway veterans in history has no talent, go ahead, but nobody is going to like what you say... Go Sutton and Bernadette!!

I love how when the orchestra starts shes in character the walk chances its fanastic

She's the most talented person in brodway history she's really interested in her role as seen in manny of her live performances and especially in her album performances as well gosh dang I wish she was more well known I feel like if anyone's to get into musicals people should go to her cause hot damn not only is she really hot and beautiful but she knows what she's doing and she's really talented and her voice oh la la it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and also of course her role as rita in animaniacs was how I found out about her musical style as well as her vocal range as well annyways before the new year is dawned upon us I I thought now before i forget to do it I thought now would be a good time to go over my favorite songs from this year that I've listened to also it changes a lot and especially now since I've I've dedicated my life to only listening to rock sugar as well as Bernadette peters herself witch is what I'm doing right now lol anyways though in terms of actual music that's all that I'm listening to it will probably not change annyways for the other stuff I've been listening to those count for all the incarnations of the various different scooby doo theme songs as well as thier respective ending credits as well then almost every single song from animaniacs manly the ones that the warners and rita and runt sing that is anyways next is where the boys are sung by the talented fifi la fume and whoah man listening to that song for the frist time in over quite some time now it officially brought back some happy memories of when I frsit laid eyes on her in 2015 witch is also when I frist listened to that song as well I believed that's right dont rember what month or date I specifically listened to it I I remember is that I listened to it in that year annyways though listening to it now in 2020 brought back a lot of precious memories of fifi annyways moving on also all the songs from wakkos wish are catchy as well annyways then my last and final thing of songs that are my favorites from this year are from sesame street now these ones I've narrowed it down a bit becuase for this list I've only listened to the songs that characters like cookie monster elmo bert erine grover big brid zoe sniffy rosita parie dawn abby cadabby and the oinker sisters sing just to name a few also the list does not contain anny of kermits songs from the show I know that sounds harsh but hey that's my opinion so either deal with it or not annyways though one last song that I remember listening to way back when as a yingling was Hawaiian war chant from the enchanted tiki room as well as a bunch of other songs from that attraction annyways though when I listened to Hawaiian war chant I was like oh I rember listening to this when I was younger and I had no I idea that was an actual song in real life as well annyways brought back some memories as well annyways stay tuned because you never know when I'm going to update this list most of it will change but a lot of it will still stay the same becuase why change the stuff that's been already well established as being my favorite songs from this year

who could dislike this?

Dude I want her dress! It's gorgeous. So is her voice :D

She's such a queen! Tearing the stage uppp

My goodness, how she kept her chest from flying out of that dress! Bernadette is a legend.

Her presence on stage is remarkable

She is adorable. Also a goddess.

If I was told she was actually in her 20's, I'd believe it.

Papa is... God? WHERE DID THAT VOICE COME FROM? So, so powerful. Her voice is crystal clear and demands attention of both the ears and the eyes. Thanks for posting!

I was really surprised when I found out that She turned sixty this year.Yet She is still just as brilliant.

I saw her do Gypsy on Broadway. It was wonderful.

I saw Bernadette in the ANNIE GET YOUR GUN revival in 1999. What a thrill to see her in a show and not on a TV screen. She never ages, and her voice keeps its power. She’s always perfect and amazing.

Unbelievable voice. Impossible to believe that she's 60 in this video, and almost 70 now.

What a great performance.....if not the best out there for this difficult number that takes a lot of talent and energy.

In that Dress? She didn't need his 88 cents! Bernadette Peters made her own way her style on her merits Bravo for her!

Is there a more talented woman in show bus than this lovely gal? Help me out here cause I can't think of any. I just love her so damn much.

simply great!! she is marvellous!!!

BEST VERSION EVER. no one can top this. bernadette peters FTW and ALL THE WAY.

This woman is amazing!! Her voice is like none other, she is beautiful!! And that hair of hers, oh my god, I love it!!

I agree. Without getting nasty (since I know so many people love her) suffice it to say that no one is more impressed with Patti LuPone than Patti LuPone... and yes people, I do know her personally. Bernadette is a goddess.

SHE IS A BROADWAY GODESS...I LOVE HER SO AND i WATCHED 6 YEARS AGO!

thanks eric, love it. saw her live and it was fantatstic

She is one of my favorite people!

amazing

@Divinedancedivas I personally think this performance is amazing (however, I loved Peters' interpretation of Rose). She absolutely commands this stage & makes the song her own. Even though she'd yet to play the character, she's totally immersed in it here. That's one of the many things I love about Peters: she totally gives herself over to the song & music, whatever the role. But, I will always be captivated by Peters' appearance, because I think she is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

She's so cute

Bernadette.... Stand Still !!!

One word. VaVaVOOOOOM, lady is lovely beyond words.

Eternal material too.⭐️⭐️

What a gorgeous woman !

Flawless!

❤️SHE IS BROADWAY ROYALTY ❤️BEST ACTRESS/SINGER TO GRACE THE BROADWAY STAGE❤️

Why some people just love Bernadette Peter

27 people are still sitting on their butts eating blueberry pie.

haha wow it looks like she almost forgets to sing into the mic when she sings "Goodbye to blueberry pie!" haha but that's how you know she's really into it! She just wants to throw out her arms and sing!!! AAAH I LOVE HER SO MUCH!

"I was just so busy with El Nino." Makes me laugh every time. :P

PERFECTION

O! She is just perfect!

I don't know why we can't praise Bernadette while putting down other amazing female performers.

I'd be afraid I'd end up giving a free show, lol! She is the ONE AND ONLY Mama Rose!! The best Broadway has ever seen...and that goes for any role she's ever played. I met with her last year, and she is the sweetest, kindest person! The reigning Queen of Broadway!

SUCH TALENTED WOMEN!

my hero

She is so beautiful

2:46 I love how the volume of her voice dips there as if the character is saying something hush hush.

Goosebumps.

killed it!!!!

@CaliCaliente00 She was only in her 40's in this! This was 1998 :P

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH I just love her!!

She's so damn amazing.. :L

Bravo, magnifique, bravo, bravo!

Great performance. Homer

Oh..my... Thats amazing. Thats amazing... What else can I say?!

LOVE!!!!!!

Just... ...just all kinds of "damn".

BRILLIANT.

No one sang it better than Liza in her prime. And Liza's "Rose's turn" is the best. Liza would have great as Rose.

bernadette's hair flip makes me giggle =]

LOVE HER!

Does anyone know when whether there will be any more concerts in England? I would love to see her... She is just amazing!

very great

Great

... living legend... 🤯😱🎭♥️♥️🍀🖐️🤞🙌🎶👑🌹🌹🌹🌹🌟🌟🥰

Patti, Ethel, Bette and all the rest of 'em can belt their faces off all they want, but no one does Mama Rose like Bernadette. She made the character SO human and real, when all of the others made some campy, over-the-top cartoon of her.

Fab! Watch her march!

lol. That's funny. I have the concert tape and never even thought of that.

Sher's perfect!

Why 21 people doesn't like this?? What's happening with your ears??

id go straight for you Ms Peters

❤❤ ❤❤❤❤

@HuckHuck96 I agree, you cannot deny talent. And she undeniably has that with charisma to burn. But even then, in my personal opinion, had her performance been as arresting as this song requires, no one would have noticed her dress. But you can tell from the performance that she has connected and communicated with her audience which is what really matters. I am not a huge fan of this particular interpretation sadly, even when I hear it without looking at the screen. But she is great.

"You ain't gettin' 88 cents, Rose?" My response to that would've been, "Lord?"

What a wardrobe but amazing performance by Bernie P!

ME TOO!!!

I felt it was too upbeat at certain points compared to some of her other performances of it. However, she has the ability to do differently and still be awesome all the time!

for loop purposes, song starts at 1:16

Whow.

XD she looks like merida from brave

Omg, I can't believe she was almost 60 in this 0___0

i saw both and wow they were so different it's hard to compare, i personally like patti's more but BP's was fab!!!! but they did kind of almost play 2 different characters...

If I wanted to sing 16 bars of this song, how long (minute-wise), would that be?

@boynamedalexxx That's wonderful. You are getting more bang for your buck, which is great. :)

I just died. Died.

How does she do it?

when is this from?

When she says Marvin is she talking about Marvin Hamlisch?

@suzeybell Yes, saw it. Riveting. Good luck on the clip. I bet it will show up one day here, if KZfaq doesn't get greedy.

what key is this in?

I love GAGA, but I agree :-)

and then she went to be in gypsy as rose lol

the jazz hands at the end are funny
