@@michaeljj43, it's a few second later, but the breathing technique can make it VERY difficult to notice, unless you know how to do it. It takes a LOT of time and practice to learn it. It's either at 3:10 or 3:14 she takes her last breath. Either way, it's REALLY impressive.
Linda Eder is truly one of the greatest singers in the world. I wish more people knew of her talent. Her breath control is phenomenal. 🎤 How sad that bad singing has become so commonplace. 🎶
What's so sad is that some of the greatest voices of all time, like Ms Eder, don't get the views, which is mainly because she started and stayed in the Broadway venue versus moving into the movies. I think Eder could have moved into this area if she wanted....
nah, she's not famous because she didn't want to be. There are tons of broadway singers that are still somewhat famous..even if in broadway. Linda eder..didn't want to be famous herself. www.dailypress.com/entertainment/music/vp-db-linda-eder-20200228-nncylrkgazajznaqvaqynqklsi-story.html and honestly i respect her for her choice. I think she did what was best for her.
Humm- I love Linda but she is NOT an actress at all! I have saw her her in Jekyll and Hyde, ouch! The voice I call her margarine (she is one of the closest to Barbra Streisand sounding after 1979- when Barbra got her tremolo, damn her). I have seen Linda at Carnegie Hall and many other places and trust me, her career is exactly where it should be. She isn’t unique enough and unfortunately for her like Lara Fabian or Roslyn Kind, is too much like Barbra and lacks the incomprehensible charisma she has. But having said all that, Linda is an amazing singer, that isn’t rivaled by many!
@@rodgolson ,once Linda eder takes the mic,it's majic.unlike Barbra,Linda has no ego.linda eder chose not to be that famous.at one point she was raising her son.as of now,her passion is spending time on the farm with horses.linda eder's voice is quite compelling.not only does Linda have an abundance of talent,she is the most down to earth person.in my candid opinion,Linda's all around performance in Jekyll and Hyde was superb.given a choice to see Barbra or Linda perform live,it's Linda eder.
Man.... what a voice. She is totally unnoticed by mainstream audiences but had she been around in the 30-50s she would've been a MEGASTAR in Hollywood golden era musicals. Jesus! That final note.... wooooooooo!
Is she the greatest, or what? What a voice!!! Why she isn't as well-known as Streisand or Dion is beyond me. The ballads are heart-rending, the broadway stuff is sensational. Love Ya, Linda.
I grew up listening to Streisand, but I can tell you there is no question that Linda Eder is one of the greatest soprono vocalists of all time. So many try to also compare Streisand with Shirley Bassey even though they have completely different voices, but it's Bassey who has the more powerful voice. Here, Linda Eder shows who is best!
I just discovered Linda Eder on Sirius’ Broadway channel singing ‘A New Life’ from Jeykill & Hyde. My God, what a voice. Where have I been all of these years.....
Man, the choice to go up on that last 'Parade' really sets this performance apart for me. Simply amazing control and never heard anyone else do it like that!
Naya Rivera does it pretty similar at the last ’Parade’. At the beginning of Parade she keeps it in the origianl key but than she goes up at the end. You should really listen to her version if you havn’t.
I first "met" Linda Eder through her 2005 (?) album, By Myself, a tribute to Judy Garland. It was love at first note, so to speak. I continue to find new treasures by Linda. This is VERY high in that list!
Miami: I certainly agree with you. I have most of Streisand's LP's, and I think she has a beautiful voice. BUT, if people were really honest they would agree that she has not been able to sing with such vocal projection, intensity, and with the ability to hold those big notes like Eder shows here for decades. Even Streisand's 1975 clip, shown on UA-cam, can't match this! But, they both have beautiful voices, and I appreciate them both.
That is world class by anyones standards, I cant understand why she is not up there with the best, there are not many voices in the world as good as hers?, she is practically unheard of in the UK?
For one thing, at the height of her popularity and success, she had her child and decided to prioritize looking after him. She also decided that she couldn't handle that level of mad fame where you have to be ushered into cars quickly lest you get mobbed. So, part of it is by her own choice. The other part is while some critics, particularly the ones at Chicago Sun Times, seem to gush about her singing, there are others who prefer to hold up a magnifying glass and spot 'problems' to carp on.
LINDA EDER'S VOICE IS SECOND TO NONE: I'VE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO SEE HER IN CONCERT ABOUT 10 TIMES; HOWEVER, IT'S BEEN TOO MANY YEARS SINCE LAST SEEING HER. SHE'S GOING TO BE AT THE STATE THEATRE IN EASTON PA. THIS SATURDAY: IF ONLY MY CAR WERE IN BETTER CONDITION??????????? :(
Babs can't sing like this anymore. Not even close. Eder's got the goods and has kept her voice in top shape. I saw Linda sing this in Houston last year... Sounded EXACTLY the same.
barbra is 79 yrs old. good god. check out her version from the 70s. Eder, like a lot of wanna-be's HAMMMM IT UP. Barbra doesn't milk notes like a preacher or star search performance.
We had the enormous privilege of seeingLinda for the first time at the Sharon in the Villages Nov 2, 2016. I was amazed. Not only is she a great singer but she has the poise to take her audience on a roller coaster ride to heaven. I thank my lucky stars that someone as special as she is came to ENTERTAIN us. Thank you Linda Eder!
LINDA EDER! I really think Linda is a fabulous singer! She has an amazing voice! I really don't quite understand why she isn't known worldwide. Nevertheless I like her a real lot!
Linda does not come up for air!!!!! I have been a Streisand fan my entire life.....Linda however does sing way better....still a Babs fan...but Linda you are the tops!!!
Linda is........an Imatator. Barbra & Garland. Linda doesn't have an original bone in her body. Remember that low selling "country" album she did?😆 Linda never made it big because she Un-Original.💯
LINDA EDER is an amazing singer! In this video Linda sings this classic Streisand song every bit as well as Barbara! Great voice! This is as close to perfection as I've ever heard the song performed. I think Linda is truly amazing!
Having seen Eder and Streisand over the years...LIVE....they are both magnificent performers. For those who deride Eder....see her live and you will eat your words.
Linda completely OWNS. It's crazy to think that some people actually prefer Lea's weak little summer-stock belt over Linda's rich, well-trained vocals.
@@iamisiam818 Linda is at least on par with Barbara as a mezzo soprano and Regine is the best lyrical coloratura soprano ever to sing that song on UA-cam. ua-cam.com/video/lj4Qtu8ZIQ8/v-deo.html. However, people who can not distinguish between the recording quality and the voice as such will not understand this. They might want to listen to "Songbird Sings The Classics", especially Song 15 on Qobuz.
LINDA EDER! Linda simply has the best voice anywhere now for a female popular singer! To me she sounds better than Streisand and better than Celine Dion. In fact she has a better vocal range then Streisand ever had! The best!
TheMusicguy68 Celine Dion has too much nasal in her voice and at this stage to much ego. I always felt her tone was slightly gritty somehow. Maybe it's the French creeping in. Kind of like MAria Callas not flawless voice but good expression.
+Pop Off! It is definitely the French creeping in. When she speaks in English there's also a certain "nasality" to it. haha Actually, accents aside, I'd say Linda and Celine actually have VERY similar tones to their voices.
I'm with everyone else, there is no comparison between her and Barbara. I think Linda Eder is one of the most talented singers ever and she is so original. No one sings like her.
Two different renditions of the same song.... Barbra's is more subtle and introspective. Linda's is in your face and a show of force. You gotta judge them on what they were trying to do... and both were great.
Wow, as a lifelong, die-hard Barbra fan, I have to give this woman a virtual standing ovation. That gave me goose pimples...that ending was epic epic epic.
I grew up being a die-hard adoring Barbra fan, but I must be honest and say that I much prefer Ms. Eder's version of this classic song so much more so. For once, I can actually understand the lyrics! Ms. Streisand's annunciation has always been a mystery to me and as much as that song was a personal theme, it is not even more so. Ms. Eder is a vocal force and stage presence to be reckoned with. Oh, to have been in that audience and be blown away for the very first time!!
Phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. Linda Eder is such a great singer. It is too bad that barely anyone (on MY side of the world at least) knows who she is. A real shame. Bravo Linda Eder!!
While there is no doubt that Linda is an astounding singer and performer, I honestly can't understand some 85% of the words she's singing in this rendition. Assuming everyone else can, this must surely rank as one of the greatest performances of a power ballad ever. Even if most others also can't understand her, it's still a sensational performance for vibratto, power, breath control, and stage presence.
She takes her last breath at 3:07 and uses that air until 3:29. That is so impressive considering how hard she is belting those notes! True talent!
that was insane...no breath???? wow!!!!
If she hadn’t thrown in that amazing high D she could’ve held it longer. Phenomenal singer!!

AMEN !!!
Agree , she’s phenomenal
She's an imitator. No originality.
@@user-kf8wb2cq4f best voice ever.

It's always been said that no matter how good you are, sooner or later, someone comes along who's better....................and this is the lady!
The control of her voice! WOW!!!

So many try to also compare Streisand with Shirley Bassey even though they have completely different voices, but it's Bassey who has the more powerful voice. Here, Linda Eder shows who is best!
It's been nine years, but I'll still answer. Comparing singers just because someone has a more powerful voice is just stupid.

I really cant go more than a week without this song: Linda has lifted me through heart attack stroke and cancer. such a gift. kudos to her.
I was at this show! I absolutely adore her! She is epically fantastic live :)
LINDA EDER IS SIMPLY THE BEST! HER VOICE IS SECOND TO NONE! FABULOUS.
Her voice is spectacular
No matter how many times I watch this, I'm enthralled by her voice and her smile. She's a great performer, with the best voice ever!
Sensational!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow!! She is amazing!! What a voice!!
Wow...blew me away with that note!
Fabulous voice*****
Holy. Shit. PERFECTION!!

Havent heard anyone sing this song like Linda!!!! Best yet!!! LOVE HER!!!!!!!
Simply stunning how long she can hold the notes without taking a breath ;o amazing
I watch/listen to this a couple of times a month. Linda Eder's voice is totally awesome. Her control is 2nd to none. I love this woman's voice!!
Always a big fan of her's. Just listen to that powerhouse voice, what's not to like?
How can you not give this lady a standing ovation for that performance.

BRILLANT!!!!!! no words needed
I don't know how many time I've seen this, I just love her voice!! Just wooooooooooow wow
She's got the attitude and her VIBRATO is solid, resonant and well executed. I'm not implying she is better than Babs, but Linda's vocal fantastic.
This is the only artist that gives HERSELF goosebumps!! 😉
It's the only LIVE version I ever saw that have the line at the end "rain on my parade" sang in one take just like in original studio version
What a voice. I wish we had more people on the radio like this!

Ms Eder is a fantastic singer!
the last few notes she's just looking around like "oh, yeah...I got this...don't even worry about it"
The sheer awesomeness of this incredible performance means there is no comparing Linda Eder to anyone..... she’s in a class which is all her own!
I've loved you since Star Search. Today, I love you even more!
Incredible. FANTASTIC...better than Streisand! The best rendition I've ever heard. Fabulous orchestra backing her up :-)
Not Better Than Barbara Streisand. Different Beautiful Voices .

Both are excellent.. Barbara and Linda.. Linda could have been extremely popular with the right management or her desire.
I absolutely agree!!!!!!!!
Oh.My.Word. Totally blown away! LOVE this rendition. Linda Eder is WOW! No words!
The wink...... Brilliant!!

Who derides Eder?
I have heard her referred to as "discount Streisand" and other stupid remarks. We can like both.
That is some BELT! FABULOUS!! NAILS IT!
Epic, says it all, she is that and more !
I first heard of Linda Eder on purchasing the CD of the musical The Scarlet Pimpernel and have been a fan since. Glorious voice.
Absolutely fantastic.....!!!! Bravo Ms. Eder. ❤️👍👍👍

Linda completely OWNS. It's crazy to think that some people actually prefer Lea's weak little summer-stock belt over Linda's rich, well-trained vocals.
In a class of her own ....
Huge fan ❤️
NEVER SMILED SO MUCH WHEN WATCHING A UA-cam VIDEO!!!
Beautiful voice!
Holy crap. She blows everyone out of the water. No contest.
Wow! Simply amazing. Such a powerful, strong, mesmerizing voice.

No beats Linda Eder. EVER. No one on Glee can compare, no one can. She is the greatest that ever lived.
She attacks these verses. It's athletic, effortless singing. BRAVA.
exactly! each brings their own unique and lovely twist to the song.
Damn! Excellent job!
Saw her in that on Broadway - amazing!
She is the kind of singer I have always wanted to be. Fearless.
Fantastic
this is just, just amazing singing!!!!
The "hey world, here I am" is incredible!
