Without question, one of the best live performances on television ever recorded! Linda has a very rare talent, a great God-given gift, and a desire to always sing at the highest level. She brings extra joy to everyone who listens to her, and she brings great emotion to all who do!
AGREED.
I absolutely agree! This is the version I always listen to.
She is Streisand with a bigger range and looks like Linda Carter . What a beauty....this is the first song I here and sent to my friends in 2021. We all deserve to find love and be loved in return. 💜
This is art personified. She paints pictures with words and notes. She also gets more beautiful with age. It's really not fair, but she shares it with the world.
Yeah, you see a lot of pop singers who don't seem to "believe" the words they sing, a sad song with a sh...eating grin, or a happy song with a frown. Wish they would all take a cue from "someone like her". Another great one you can see on UA-cam is Tina Arena doing "Don't cry for me Argentina"--she also gets it, also gives a spell binding rendition of that song.
I agree. We look alike!
Just been introduced to the wonderful voice of Linda Eder. She has an absolutely beautiful voice with a remarkable range. Just adore the song 'Someone like you'...
This is the Moment I first Fell in Love with Linda Eder. Lucky I was taping the show that day, (Giggling) because of this I still own a VHS player.
This was the performance that I discovered Linda on and I told her last Tuesday night at her concert, here in Florida, that over 20 years later at 58 years old she still sounds the same to me. I HIGHLY recommend seeing her in concert, as the tickets are very reasonable and she sounds better in person. Also do the meet and greet as she is so down to Earth and humble. She loves her fans.
I’ve been attending Broadway shows for 40 years now: I’ve seen so many fantastic singers, it’s impossible to say this one is the best or that one is the best; having said that I have to admit that every time I hear Linda sing I can’t help but think she is simply the greatest voice I’ve ever heard on stage.
Wow! Just discovered this singer - incredible voice, makes my hair stand on end! reminds me of Streisand - go girl!
Very Barbara Streisand like.
weeeellll, shit. They just got a free show to one I'd pay big money to see. Linda Eder is a goddess. and can Wildhorn write a tune or what?! (sorry for the curse word; only way to express myself at this very moment lol)
I Love Linda Eder. My Mom actually got her autograph when she performed Jekyll & Hyde on Broadway. Her voice is stunning. I just do not understand how she was not more commercially successful. There are so many popular singers out there who do not have half her talent, yet they have achieved more success. It is bewildering. Linda Eder is Amazing and so beautiful. I wish that I could see her live.
Ponette : It's probably her singing style which is great. Some people are born for musical theater. And yes, she's absolutely beautiful.
lol being famous has nothing to do with talent.
Because people are ignorant and they can't separate quality from trash..
Ponette it was her personal choice. She chose to raise her kids rather than chase stardom. Aside from solo concerts I don’t believe she ever starred in another Broadway musical despite the acclaim after Jeckyl and Hyde and the rabid fan base asking her to do another musical.
I was thinking about posting a comment until I saw your comment. Two things you said that I totally agree with are (1) "I love Linda Eder", and (2) "Her voice is stunning." The emotion she puts into her singing is so genuine, but seemingly so natural and effortless for her. And what a great vocal tone she has. Yes, I love Linda Eder.
This is what most singers aspire to be. Phenomenal.
I watch this clip every once in a while because it just makes me feel good. It's like therapy for me. There's so much I like about her. Thank you Linda.
Same here. :)
same here! wish i could sing though! oh well! laugh!.....
I've always loved this tune. It's so raw and emotional. She gets hotter with age.
You should have seen her last Tuesday night in skin tight black leather pants. She was working it and sounds the same at 58. It was magical.
She has one the most beautiful and well executed/supported pianissimo I've ever heard.
Yeah, and it totally makes this rendition when she is able to follow up all that incredible belting with the delicate close.
@@MadanRajaRock so true. She is easily one of my top 5 greatest vocalist of all time.
Incredible Linda Eder such a amazing voice. She is truly blessed. I can listen to her for hours. And also extremely good looking. She's perfect for Broadway.
Linda Eder is such an amazing talent! It is so nice to hear a singer with such a raw talent!!
This performance is so incredible I almost find it difficult to appreciate her other work. There's Vienna, there's New Life but this performance of Someone Like You has passion, expression, virtuosity and artistry in impossible quantities.
What a beautiful voice; why don't we know this lady in England?
Linda Eder possesses the most magnificent voice ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im Tearing up just listening to her with my eyes closed.. absolutely NO comparison. a flawless performance.
She is wonderful. Have been to three of her concerts. Amazing to hear.
Bella voce
Linda tell Barbara Move Over
One of the most beautiful songs ever and Ms. Eder is simply amazing. I was fortunate to see her in J&H
I've seen just about everyone sing "Someone Like Me" from Broadway's "Jekyll and Hyde," and take my word for it, this is the single greatest live performance of this song ever made... period. So fully mature and magnificent in her delivery, this is sheer vocal perfection :)
Listen to regine.
Well she is the original singer of this song. It was written for her by her husband.
Regine from Saturday night live ?
Just saw her last night at bergen pac; 17 years since this recording. Fabulous!
She is truly a diva. Her voice left the audience breathless when she sang a Christmas concert in Playhouse Square Cleveland. OH!
So blessed to have seen her live on B-way! AWESOME!
Phenonmenal video. There must be a huge amount of Jekkyl fans out there for all these hits years after the musical ended. I never felt that it was produced well in the NYC version. The original version in Houston in the early days is THE BEST! Linda had a great concept album with Colm and of course the wonderful Andrew Warlow. One of these should have been the co-star with a better Producer like Hal Prince or Cameron Macintosh. I am optimistic for a revival.
.
Holy Crap! Is Linda Eder amazing or what??? and gorgeous too - J&H best musical of all time....how can there possibly be 14 dislikes - are people kidding me?
ummmm WOW...WOW...WOW
Jeez, people, remember Rosie use to film her talk show at 7am, not even Barbra Streisand would be able to hit pitch perfect notes at that time of morning. Poor Linda probably had to get up at 3 or 4 am in the morning just to have enough time to warm-up her vocal chords just to give this performance...and, by the way, I think it was Brilliant for a 7 or 8 am performance...
Linda's voice is so beautiful she must be a angel sent from Heaven.
I love this song and I love her singing it. It makes me cry every time I have a listen. Wish I was her...
please stop comparing colleen to linda its like comparing the beatles to the backstreet boys
@ginapleeds Honestly, I think it is just people taking a "free shot"; you know, when someone is good, it is easy to hide at home and type in stupid things. As you say, 14, what a joke. It really is fine to have one's own taste, and not go for her--though I can't imagine it for me--but to say it is bad is a stupid person talking.
@ginapleeds I hear you. I can understand that we all have different taste, so I can "see" someone saying "it is not my thing" but I CAN'T get saying it is not good--that is a fool speaking. She can sing, whether someone likes it, or not. For me, I both like it--a whole lot and KNOW it is really good.
She was already 36 yrs old here. To bad she was not in the public eye when she was much younger. She won star search in 1988 first ever singer to be undefeated. No one sings this song like she did.
Right, but a younger singer would perhaps not possess such mature phrasing and interpretation. Just compare this to the recording on the album. This performance is incomparably more nuanced.
+Madan Mohan she had that phrasing back in the 1980s this was 1997 I believe
+Madan Mohan check out her videos when she was On Star search from 1988
I already have and I hear a much more developed style on here. Would have been interesting if there were recordings from the earlier theatrical performances of this song (before Broadway).
+Madan Mohan there is now for the play. she has personally recorded the song also
So beautiful
Awesome.
SIMPLY bravo BRAVO!!
Oh, wow. What an amazing voice!
I start my day by watching this.
@herter52 I sure hope there is a revival! I'm kind of looking forward to the movie, but at the same time not because I don't think a movie cast could live up to the performances of Andrew Warlow and/or Robert Cuccioli. What say you?
Yeah, I hear that. Not just voice, acting too. I love it when they sing it, not LIKE they believe it, but because they DO believe the words. I don't think the real thing can be faked, this woman is the real deal.
I listen to this every day without fail
This is the moment I fell in love with LINDA EDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Rosie!!
Like no one else. And no one comes close.
I can’t stop listening to Linda’s version. One of my favorite singers who has a gorgeous voice sang this in concert, but it didn’t have the same passion and interpretation as Linda, who sings with SO much meaning behind each word. It’s absolutely riveting; as a singer myself, I am just mesmerized by Eder.
Sounds like Barbara Streisand looks like Patricia Heaton!
absolute truly stunning
Audience was stunned...you could hear a pin drop while she sang those last notes. Beautiful job, Linda!
Such an amazing and powerful song!! No one can sing this better than Linda Eder and this performance gave me goosebumps!! What A Voice!!!
As a singer this is a woman who I aspire to be like her voice is soooo amazing and her range is awesome. xxx
At last..
I now know what others have meant my whole life when they say:
"I found true love!"
Because I too have found it ;-)
I interviewed he on my radio show on the boardwalk in Atlantic City, gave her new album a big intro, the called her Linda RONSTADT and she yelled EDER>
I have been a huge fan of Linda Eder for years. Her voice is beautiful!
It always amazes me how incredible vocal talent utterly enhances a woman's already-impressive physical beauty. She's a knockout, based on looks alone. Add that incredible voice, and I'm ready to lay down my life for her.
wow
If she doesn’t take your breath away there is something missing from your soul.
Phenonmenal video. There must be a huge amount of Jekkyl fans out there for all these hits years after the musical ended. I never felt that it was produced well in the NYC version.

One of my favorites of hers! She is amazing in this song.
I love this so much... and I sing it, too...
I guess Regine Velasquez and Martin Nievera gave more dynamic and heart to broadway music like this one in their concert together. They made it sound pop but still sound great!
Check out Martin Nievera and Regine Velasquez- Broadway Musical Medley
@napazu I watched Martin and Regine, they were great no doubt. BUT, "more dynamic and heart" is not right. This version is also great, one not better than the other, one not "more dynamic and heart" is just not right. You can't beat this version in my opinion
im sorry there curlin...your observations are in correct...breathing in singing is like a swing in golf or a baseball swing...you take the club back and excellerate forward. You would not stop during your downswing...and you certainly dont stop breathe before you start to sing. Singing 101.
Linda appeared, last night, in Raleigh, NC at a taping of Clay Aiken's PBS Special (to be aired in early summer) to do a gorgeous duet with Clay of 'Crying' (Roy Orbison song)!!! They were fantastic together.
I had the pleasure of meeting her in Houston once, after she had just given a concert with the Houston Symphony, that would have been about in 1999 to 2001 time frame.
she sings pretty good but i've heard this kind of voice and singing technique from Barbara Streisand. I'm hoping for some originality or maybe it just so happened they sang and sounded the same.
Maybe THIS wasn't the greatest version ! There is a better one on UA-cam by iAurelius !
Maybe she just had a bad day! She's known for usually being dead on !!
Refer anyone to 2:58 onwards in this video for some real singing. Like LuigiNeg said, it takes someone who has studied this stuff to appreciate the real value of it.
I have always disliked Jekyll and Hyde and Frank Wildhorn in general but this song was stunning and Linda Eder is an amazing performer and very underrated.
Dream of tomorrow...the past is holding me...wanting to fly...scared to try...
but if someone like you found someone like me...nothing would ever be the same...
Her voice is amazing, but it just doesn't possess the emotional power that Coleen Sexton has. I think it may be that she's performing on a talk show here.
I posted a video response of me singing "This is the Moment" from Jekyll and Hyde. I hope everyone will check it out!
- Andrew :D
@thoreaux1967 I hear that. Hey, everyone has a right to their taste, but how can you not AT LEAST see how good this really is---what a voice.
Awesome!!!
love her voice!!! she does sound like barbara streisand. no comparison to lea's rendition. linda is unique in her own ways.
When have you seen her in CATS ? As far as I know she only appeared onstage in JEKYLL&HYDE and CAMILLE CLAUDEL !
love how she controls her vocals so well! absolutely beautiful. She is wonderful.
@LukeWittz im colombian i speak four languages and im 15.. next time, call me when you manage more than one language.
I don't think that matches the definition of condescending. Just a comment, hey, either you dig it, or you don't. To ME, and that's all I'm talking about, the beauty of the song, the delivery, sorry, it's true: IF, and I said IF, that is all you got out of it (and how do I know, maybe you got a lot more), but if that is all you got, sorry again, I think it is sad. Live with it
I didn't like thi song to begin with but when it got higher she sounded really lovely. She has a beautiful voice.
MissAsh, you can't have a broadway ballad without some belting in it. It's pretty much required nowadays.
@napazu Those two ARE great, I checked it out. BUT, no, not "more dynamic and heart", that's not fair.
@MadamSneff ...yup...either he sped up or she slowed down! must not have had alot of rehearsal time
I've loved linda e for years. Thanks for posting!
Absolutely stunning! Beautiful!
hmmm she's struggling more than usual on this one pitchwise and i'm a huge linda fan
Well she probably should have broken the rule there ;-) haha
at first i thought it was barbra streisand singing LOL
very impressive
She sounds like a screechy Barbra Streisand But she has a great voice
LESLIE BRICUSSE (1931 - 2021)
Geez, that piano player doesn't have a clue what they're doing.
@TheMangolatino Beated? I'm guessing you live in Europe, yes?
Always Linda's fan since her winning days on Star Search.
@TheMangolatino
ok beated? beat dear. but yes she did
wow is about all i can type through my tears
@browndog461 There are similarities arnt there ?
She is married to the composer of Jekyll and Hyde.
Hope Linda performs at the Cinegrill again soon???
