Didn’t realise how good she was. Love that you can hear her Scottish Lilt
Like Karen Carpenter even at her worst her vocals were never affected RIP sweet angel
Agreed - big fan of both ladies
Amazing . No many singers like that anymore . She was true talent .
Beautiful version from Lena Zavaroni. She looks terribly thin here but her voice is strong and clear. Look at how well she danced! So incredibly talented. Very sad she got so ill. RIP. Darling Lena.
I loved this girl. I think we all did. It really brings a tear to my eye when I read about her tragic illness and her underlying sadness. I always wish I was her friend and could have been there for her in her darkest moments, just to hold her and remind her how much we all loved her. RIP precious Lena x
Very well said
Agree charge61. What can one do except play these as the best tribute as we approach the twentieth year of her tragic death.
Same her, so wish I'd met her and could have helped her, beautiful soul❤
Me also . To many took advantage of her for the money . If it hadn't been for them she would be here now
@@juliewheatley8411 she ended up in some crappy flat, claiming social security Where did all the money go??
Stunning performance 🤩 still in shock … I have no words to describe how I feel listening to such a wonderful cover from Simon & Garfunkel
The light from this shining star is still so bright and always will be. RIP Lena
I wish Lena was still here she would be in west end show with that amazing voice of hers RIP Lena xxxxx
Great singer and lovely lady.
Yes, both indeed .Very sad loss of a young life .
Beautiful rendition of "Bridge" 😢
So sad and so talented, what a great loss to the entertainment world
I always felt I wanted to be friends with this young woman. She was so fragile and needed love and reassurance going through the difficult times she did. RIP lovely Lena
She was amazing she won opppotunity knocks the year i was born if she was alive now shevwould be a big west end star
I think her version of Bridge Over Troubled Waters is the BEST one ever done!
Such a beautiful singer but such a troubled soul R.I.P Lena .
What a wonderful talent and So beautiful. RIP sweet girl
Lena always gives me chills - amazing, humble, beautiful lady. I wish things turned out differently but that’s history. I hope we can learn from Lena’s pain. Your light will never go out Lena. Thank you for the music x
Being a Beatles fan i love lena zavaroni verison of penny lane i am a fan of Lena,s since the 1970s the wee little lady was so young too die at 35 they should have looked after her a lot better bridge over trouble water is sung so perfect Miss you Lena RIP
I have followed Lena since she won Opportunity Knocks in 1974 and watched as a love truck 8 year old . I was not there for her when she needed me most , I visited her grave last year wishing it was not true. Wherever you are Lena I want to meet you one day and I'm sorry it did not happen in this world, Graeme XxxxxX
I was 3 years younger than Lena and she was my heroine....still is.
Some of Lena's songs are the only ones that seem to speak to me!

Wish she was rememberd more by the uk
Lena Zavaroni rocks the song "bridge over troubled water" Lena will remain a legend for all of time... a tragic end to such a gifted and special singer and entertainer x
As I wrote in my boo,. "What's in It for Me?" I just want to reach into the screen and rescue her ,,, and tell her no one will ever hurt you again!" She is a perfect example of an innocent child sacrificed on the altar of greed and avarice. What an enormous talent!
Stephen Fuchs I think it was definitely greed on her managers side and it was lack of parenting from her parents. On the Terry Wogan show she admits that she hardly saw her parents. She was in London and they were, I think she said Scotland but somewhere different anyway. She then goes onto say that she see them as friends and her sister too as they are growing apart as they are getting older. This was very telling that she didn't have any family life, stability, love guidance and with boudaries. Her manager in Part II says that Lena was too young at 9 to look after so no one really was there for her at her tender junior age of 9 coupled with absent parents must have been awful for her at times. She must have been very scared at night, a feeling of being all on her own at such a young age. You can definitely see the troubles in her eyes and sometimes the way she puts her face sometimes are very telling. Life always seemed to be a performance and it appeared as though it was very hard for her to just be herself. However, I feel the fundamental problem was she had no guidance or love when she needed it most when she was a child. She was a money making machine for the manager and her parents gave her over to her profession. With a background like this something bad was bound to happen.
11kwright Thank you so much for these thoughts. I think you are definitely correct in the points that you make.
Well said.
God bless the sweetest lady, Lena. She needed the right people to protect her and keep her in good health. She was advanced beyond her years with a powerful voice and personality. Reminds me of Amy Winehouse, another unique and wonderful talent. In our hearts and remembered always. Xxxxx
Grew up with her she inspired me. I had anorexia too, suffered badly. Lena you are a superstar
Amazing version of Bridge Over Troubled Water.
The show should have ended there instead of a silly dance routine breaking the atmosphere following her song.
That performance deserved a standing ovation, then roll the credits.
I agree
She was very hypnotic
@@juliewheatley8411 I disagree. I think it was a mediocre performance at best. I am entitled to my opinion and I intend to share it. I don't see why it should always be the people who like stuff who get to comment on it. I thought it was a 4/10, maybe even 3/10, performance. Why can't I have my say? It's negative critique discrimination. That's what it is!!!!
@@paulrooney982 you’re certainly entitled to your opinion. Well, she was brave in her adversity with health issues, to get up on stage to perform in front of an audience when feeling absolutely like crap. The suffering of not seeing her parents for some time must have been frightening for a child. But we know there was more to the story than we are being told. And it wasn’t a happy story or happy life especially with the two wicked witches who managed her after she hit the big screen. That’s where the problem originated. Both made a mint out of her and didn’t care for her welfare or health.
@@rosie8126 I think Lena Zavaroni was an immense talent. It just wasn't utilised well. If she was discovered in modern times on BGT or one of these modern talent shows then I have little doubt that she'd have been handled a lot more differently. Look at SuBo. She obviously has / had her issues but she's still around and still making a great living.
Look at the supposed talent we have today?they can't hold a candle to Lena...I am from Fife in Scotland,makes me proud....another beautiful singer from scotland who died too young was Billy MACKENZIE-He was in an 80s band 'the associates'it does annoy me when Americans say 'English pop sensation'no offence to the English people....I hope Lena is at peace now.She would just be 53 if she was alive today.Very sad.thanks for uploading this.
how about British? That would solve it. Unfortunately some foreign people can't get around that Britain is Scotland England and Wales.
Lena was born the same year as me. Apart from her obvious talent, I always had a crush on Lena. She was a cute girl , but later a stunning young woman. There was much less media in the 1980's and I had no idea she became so unwell. It really is a tragedy. She was not just someone to be proud of for her family and country kith and kin, she was a lovely young lady. It is such a shame she had such difficult time.
lene k Don't forget Dean Ford of Marmalade fame, another great singer from Scotland. I am from England and agree why they don't say Scots or if not British band.
very talented young lady,
It could be amazing if a record company would release her performances on cd or dvd
I can listen to her sing all day. Her and Clay Aiken both do amazing jobs with this song.
Beautiful voice and sad life .
A brilliant singer who understands the lyrics. Rest in peace dear Lena. ❤
Brilliant xx
if only if we could if we where there if we had the foresight we could have saved this angel but maybe her journey was always to be an angel from a high love this lady she comes only once lifetime
Loved so much was taken too soon .it was the business media that took her away from us
I LOVE this!!!
Excellent...
Ahh the days when raw talent and looking good without removing your clothes like the talentless women of today,R.I.P.Lena u were the same age has me.Must be some band in heaven.
Very very talented -God knows what she could have achieved- tragic
Rip up there with the best of them great singer
So amazing
I love her.
lena at her best
Preciosa interpretación!
¡Excelente!...Lena en una de sus ùltimas apariciones. ¡Gracias Vincent!
She died before her time and it was sad but I want to remember as a person with a big voice who had lost of joy singing and performing.She had some happy moments in her life probably.That’s how I want to remember her.
Meant lots of not lost.
RIP Lena
Very respectable version of BOTW.
Me gustò muchìsimo. Gracias por subirlo..
It’s interesting to hear natural born singers who didn’t really receive training… they just rely on their natural gift and experience. (I know she went to a professional children’s school for a time, but I don’t think they really shaped her.)
Yeah Sylvia Youngs, she claimed that when she saw how thin the girl dances looked it bothered her. Could have been the spark that ignited the eating disorder. A really talented singer, rest in paradise🙏🏾❤️
wow Amazing.
RIP.. such a loss to the World..
'Bridge Over Troubled Water' was written by Rod Hull(music) & Emu (lyrics)
just so sad lovely girl
Some of her song choices,, pretty deep,..need to have a strong outlook or the sadness can overcome you.
¡Excelente video!...Desearia ver este show completo, desde el la apertura hasta los crèditos finales. Hoy ya puse mi opiniòn al respecto en la pàgina oficial en "Facebook"
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Why don't somebody make a collection all of her songs from UA-cam I'm sure it can be done
Lovely version of BOTW.
god rest you ya wee belter , i loved your voice growing up
What a voice.. But she was clearly very sick here 😢 like a skeleton with a beautiful voice, a ghost of the person that was 💔
I don't believe that there was anything this lovely lady could not sing well
Does anyone know why she is wearing a wig here? She had such gorgeous hair.
The producers probably thought it gave her a 60s look.
Always looked beautiful to me.
She makes Kylie Minogue look like a pygmy..
She could sing any style of music and sing it well. Sinatra new a thing or two about music and he thought she was great but then again we all knew that.
I bet this poor girl had many troubled waters to cross
Shame she didn't make it in the end. Anorexia Nervosa is an evil disorder. She tried so hard.
Lena, sang with a tear in her throat . She is stunning. I am a fan for life. RIP Darling !!!! xo
Looks pretty here but you just know she is very anorexic here. The voice beautiful but not as powerful.
i notice the difference in her from 1981 when she had the princess di haircut and here in 1982
M
Looks like Annie Lennox
By 1999, she was on welfare (state benefits). Such a tragic downfall!
Why is she wearing a wig?
Probably lost her hair or it was very thin , eating disorders can cause that
Why Leana? - we all loved you - you should have just asked your fan's to give you peace, then they would - newspapers were the stalkers / journalislt'sx
That big smile at the song climax was so inappropriate. I know she'll have been told to do that but it showed no sympathy to the song whatsoever. Admittedly, technically, she was very good. But watch the original and Art Garfunkel singing it from the heart. Lena, unfortunately, in this instance, was not. It's all technique and no soul. Sorry, Lena fans. This is poor.
She was dying by starving herself to death so I suspect she felt despair..
She looks unhsppy and unhealthy. So hard that she had to perform under these circumstances
Unhappy
you can really tell she is very sad by the way she internalize the songs she sings. the look in her eyes is very troubled and sad. RIP Lena! you are in good hands up there already.
