No One Is Alone by Bernadette Peters

[@RachelZeglerLovesHugs]

she said she loved me one day and i froze and cried

[@morganmiller5413]

You are fabulous, Rachel, and very loved. You will be a lovely Maria.

[@ritaandrunt5767]

Aww that's nice

[@ritaandrunt5767]

Awsome that's great to hear

[@soaribb32]

Look at you sis, the new Maria. Congrats 💗💗💗

[@boodabill]

No one sings this song by Sondheim as well as Bernadette. You have to feel it, act and sing and she does that better than anyone. She also has analyzed each note and meaning for nuance. It simply does't get any better.

[@thaddeuskent8185]

I think she stylized a little that wasn't necessary, but since she really actually understands the song, like really gets it, it's tasteful.

[@SPrescott2611]

Peters is brilliant Liz Callaway sings Sondheim really well too

[@jakeo1209]

I really liked the one from the movie. Emily Blunt singing. This one is beautiful but a little bit over the top for my taste.

[@bernardcleary4330]

I remember seeing her for the first time on some daytime talk show in the 1970s - maybe Dinah Shore? She sang a torch song - I don't remember which one. She stood perfectly still in front of the microphone, and by the end of the song, a single, large tear tumbled down one of her cheeks. It was mesmerizing. She delivered all of the emotion in the song. I was hooked.

[@virghammer1]

So does Betty Buckley!

[@aelmf]

I was lucky enough to be the cellist playing this with her tonight in Symphony Hall in Boston (sigh!!) She is so utterly fantastic. If anything, she sounded even better than on the older videos posted here. I completely adore her, always have. :)

Rest in Peace, Mr. Sondheim. Thank you for all the beauty you created in this world.

"-But I didn't sing this song in the show," ... "but I love this song, and I figure what the heck, this is my show now and I'll sing whatever I want!" She's so cute! and a great singer.

I’ve seen her live several times and she is amazing

[@basehead617]

The pianist is doing some amazing re-harmonization in this, much more complex than the basic music

[@markbob120]

Unless the pianist created the arrangement he is playing notes on a sheet of music. An interesting arrangement but not particularly difficult to play.

I agree.

You raise a good point with that.

[@rarchibald1991]

It just goes to show that you dont need loads of vocal acrobatics and belting notes to show off your voice. Bernadette is just perfection here. Her control is incredible and the emotion in her voice is amazing

[@josephchastain7751]

Are we really talking about Bernadette's body in the negative? She's beautiful. ALso I think we should talk about what a great performance she gave here.

[@MaynardsSpaceship]

👏👏👏

[@rollomaughfling380]

I scrolled down through years, and see absolutely no evidence of a bunch of people talking negative or otherwise about Bernadette's body. Maybe this was just your chance to make some comment about her body?

[@taylors4thcat647]

@@rollomaughfling380 considering this comment was made 8 years ago there’s a good chance those comments are either super far down or aren’t up anymore

[@heidicb86]

I think the only reason people who be talking about her body is the fact her boobs are hanging out. Hard to miss lol

[@wowfood7105]

Honestly I look older than her, and when this video was made she was twice my age. If I looked even half that good at 60 I'd be happy. And it's not even about her look, she has one of the most beautiful singing voices.

She has the most emotion out of any singer I have ever heard. She is not a normal person. We are blessed to have her in this world.

[@WendyWatersctmm]

Bette Midler comes a close second.

[@decadencewhimsyandsarcasm]

Stephen Sondheim left us on Friday, November 26th. What a songwriter he was. Thank you so much for the songs and the plays.

There are few vocalists left that I would wish to hear live. Ms Peters is one of them. I was at this performance.

[@gregoire7471]

Watching this the day Sondheim passed. Crying. Legend.

[@StorytellingHeadshots]

Why is it that every song Bernadette performs makes me weep? She is beyond words.

[@phd2007]

Christ, it's just otherworldly perfection. Every note, every syllable, every everything. AND SHE WAS SIXTY HERE!!!!!

[@kangfesher]

Stunning...came to appreciating Bernadette a bit late in the game. Really, really late. I had never even seen "Into the Woods" until the film was made. And I am old. Very old. Anyhow watching this performance melts me everytime. I have since heard many of Bernadette's performances and shame on me for waiting so long. She is one of the true greats.

[@tihgger7466]

Bernadette Peters is a beautiful human being sharing an amazing message through music and her beautiful voice. God Bless her.

[@Ashes2Ashes_Blush2Blush]

I remember when I first saw Into the Woods...this song made me cry because it is so relatable and true...this whole play was so amazing. About growing up and life... *whew* I think of my mum when she will finally leave me and I am all alone without her guidance...Such a tear jerker lol.

[@phd2007]

Makes me think of losing my mom too, which I know will be sooner rather than later. It's unimaginable how painful just the thought of it is.

[@noahgipson8641]

Brava, Queen Bernadette! She is so beautiful! She is a gorgeous woman and a breathtaking performer! Love this version and love Bernadette Peters!

[@johnfinck288]

I've always been fascinated by Bernadette - my first wife looked like her, so clearly, I have a type, but what most amazes me about Bernadette is how her speaking voice, with the "little girl" squeak, and the slight lisp, somehow turns into that marvelous singing instrument. Perfect phrasing, impeccable timing, intonation and vibrato spot on, and above all, the way she connects on an emotional level, giving the lyrics meaning and content. Bernadette Peters is amazing - and while things ended poorly with my first wife, I still carry a torch for Bernadette.

[@willisthrilled]

Who dislikes this kind of stuff???? This is true talent.

[@TomConn48]

"Sometimes people leave you,halfway through the wood. Others may deceive you. You decide what's good." "Someone is on your side; No one is alone." Sondheim is genius and Bernadette his best singer.

[@MarishRox]

I have been such a big fan, since i was about 3 or 4 years old when I first saw her on the Muppet Show. She still looks as beautiful as ever. I felt really bad for her when I heard that her husband had been killed. I'm so glad she's managed to just keep going and doing all the wonderful things she does.

[@sofialittle5993]

Lyrics No one here to guide you now you're on your own Only me beside you still your not alone No one is alone truly no one is alone Sometimes people leave you half-way through the wood Others may deceive you, you decide what's good You decide alone but no one is alone People make mistakes, father's, mother's People make mistakes holding to their own Thinking they're alone Honor their mistakes Everybody makes One another's terrible mistakes Witches can be right, giants can be good You decide what's right, you decide whats good Just remember Someone is on your side, someone else is not Well we're seeing our side maybe we forgot They are not alone, no one is alone Hard to see the light now just don't let it go Things will come out right now, we can make it so Someone is on your side no one is alone

[@BroadwayGuy]

ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS! Bernadette has the gifts and voice of an angel.

[@dfpsam]

A friend recommended I listen to this song this afternoon. I did and began bawling my eyes out. Incredible truths held in such simple lyrics. Great healing in the tears, in the reminder that I am not alone even when the signs around me would indicate otherwise. "Hard to see the light now, just don't let it go, things will turn out right now, we can make it so! Someone IS on your side, no one is alone." Thanks Brad, for making me stop and listen to the truths in this music :)

[@jvanness90]

Wow, I already loved this song so much. This is astounding. Easily the best version I've heard of it. Her voice is almost bell like in it's quality in this song. I don't think I'll ever forget this performance.

[@3LeggedRace1]

This is a truly exquisite performance of this enchanting song. Bernadette Peters is so able to express a depth of feeling in the song that so few can. There is such a feeling of endless space and at the same time responsibility and sadness and everything else. I loved watching her perform this and cant believe it has had so few views!

[@JackMason-oq8lf]

The newer generations have little interest in culture. Can you blame them? Broadway, ballet, opera, have priced themselves out of their lives. We need culture, but at what expense? We also need groceries.

This is the other song that makes me cry like a baby. I cannot get through the scene without tearing up (watching the DVD). This and 'Children Will Listen' are two of the greatest songs Sondhiem has written. Esp. the dialogue between the Baker and Jack. I'm glad the libretto beat Phantom's. It's so much stronger and appliable to any scenerio in real life. (Without the fairytale characters, obviously.)
