RIP Stephen Sondheim Oscar winner. Thank you for sharing your talent with us all.

"Although we both have religious names..."!! LOL! She is so awesome! :)

This is like the eighth time I've sat on youtube, watching this concert, awestruck by this woman. I think my favourite part is that she's so amazing and talented, yet able to have fun with her art...

GOD I LOVE THIS WOMAN!! BERNADETTE IS TOO GOOD FOR US!! T^T

SHe is an icon and just lights up the stage. SHe is gifted to do this for the delights of mortals!! She was great on Ugly Betty with Vanessa WIlliams, Trivia they both played the witch in Into the woods. SHe can love me!

So instead of arguing about two entirely different styles of a great song... This performance was lovely and I'm glad she sang it. It's awesome to hear a good song, sung in a variety of ways.

Yep. I'm in love.

Omg, shes hilarious. I love her!!! Wow shes just amazing!

She does such a good job with all of her music!

Oh, she's wonderful!!

This woman!!! Stunning! Incredible. I love her.

Love both versions.

7 seven people who disliked this were Big Boy Caprice & 6 other members of his gang.

Pure. Perfection.

how can you not love this woman? i

I may be forty years late, but damn. Damnnnn.

She's Fabulous!!!..😍

What a great rendition!

love this lady...

She is amazing and halarious tooooo, and btw annother tip i have learned from my vocal coach--a supine postiion makes the chords more relaxed---- it is a technique!

Ok I admit, BP has never been my cup of tea, but this rendition just BOWLED me over! Tigress. Damn it, it gave me goosebumps!

CLASS

Eric...I'm glad I found your videos of BP. She's freaking amazing. Cute picture btw

Yes yes yes yes!

Amazing Performer

Her breats are AMAZING! And she's very talented too! ;-)

Wow.

Outstanding, sexy version...this lady is fine indeed and knows how to carry a song! For sure!

I think Madonna as Breathless Mahoney in Dick Tracy looked a lot like Peters does in the film Annie.

Would have been great to be in the band for this gig.

@karenpog You're amazingly right! She also worked with him on "Into The Woods" :)

OMG!! I just came

THE B E S T ......

She's playing with the Denver Symphony Nov 12....

She's my absolute favorite

there goes my idea for a comment. Apparently she is also singing something here.

I know, right?

Does anyone know what key this is in?

Comparing a studio recording to a live performance?

Wow... what year is this from?

Does she age

What year did this concert happen?

@futureboycolin Db maybe?

@BernadettePetersx3 St. Bernadette of Lourdes, patron saint of the sick.

@APBroadway1 No. Bb! 2 flats.

It's glue. Really. They make it for just these kinds of dresses. Beauty contest participants use them all the time.

funny because she played Circe in the 1997 movie the oddesy based off a greek myth

how did you know how sondheim intended this song to sound? not trying to be rude.... just wondering.

There is now way this woman is over 60.

She is at least 50 in this video......how is this even possible.

Very hot and sexy rendition. Bernadette is one of the all time greats!

WICKEDLY FUNNY IS THE LADY!

If she sang this song from Dick Tracy, why couldn't she have sung What Can You Lose?

Wow. One thing: That dress is slipping a bit wudnt ya say? lol

В Мадонне больше шарма и чувственности. Только Мадонна с этой песней!

i promise i wasn't trying to sound rude... i realized my comment probably came across super bitchy! i'm sorry! and i also saw lupone in gypsy (the day after christmas) she WAS quite fabulous!!!! best night of my life!

apples and oranges

The major difference between Miss Peters and Madonna is that Bernadette has class.

I use to say this all the time but really, those aren't the kinds of talented people they want to make a star. They want pop stars one way or the other. Not the next Babs or Judy. But I'd totally love to make my own American Idol and look for those kinds of people and anyone who has actual writing talent. I see too many kids on AI sing a song but not really understand what they're singing. :\

Thats fine, you can pretend all you want... but it doesn't change the fact that I said it.

Wow Miss Bernadette better singer and sexier than the other religiously named lady...

Personally, I couldn't even make it through the entire film version of Evita. Madonna REALLY got on my nerves. But I definitely agree with your comment about stage performers having to be so well-rounded.

good performance. She's reall great but in my opinion (mybe because I've listened to Madonna's version many times) she sounds a bit trying to show all of her skills in one track (vibrato, falsetto, etc). Madonna?s version, maybe because of her lack of singing skills comes across more powerful and "naked": i prefer it

She is still smoking hot but, I think Rebecca Kyler Downs version is the best.

Madonna was better... can’t believe I’m saying that... but her version and voice, although not as good, was better suited.

I love her voice....but i feel that she is not into the song! :( that's my little opinion. That song is sensual, express security ..... i don't feel that with her interpretation ....

definitivamene mejor que madonna, beatiful

Maybe so....but the main trick is less glamorous....it's called tit tape! :)

Makes me imagine what if Peters got the role instead of Madonna...sad to say the movie might have lost a little bit of sales simply because Madonna was probably a bigger name at the time but performance wise I can't help but feel it would have been about the same except Bernie's curves n the clothes Madonna wore for the movie might have been too much for the rating.

I'm going to pretend you did not just say that Madonna was better than Bernadette Peters...

Yeah - but it's nearly falling off throughout the whole song! No wonder she changed into another dress for the second act. . .

Fantastic performance, outdoes Madonna on this song, a great song not played nearly enough.

Well saod Michael. Betnadette is all class. Madonna, not so much.

Bernadette Peters > Madonna!

Where is this women now in 2018 in her wheel chair.

I've always liked her, but I have to say this was not sexy at all. Some people were meant to sing professionally and technically correct and boring and some people were meant to not have the perfect voice but have the perfect all around package. Just sayin'.

Let me go and listen to Madonna doing this song I m going to enjoy it better .

Madona's version is better

Madonna way better

Madonna is the Greatest Female Entertain er in the world this who the hell is this floozy with no hits and no voice.

No class

Peters has no class ,I would pay money to see Madonna because I know I would get my money's worth and be greatly entertain ed .
