Linda Eder sings Somewhere Over the Rainbow at the Turning Stone Casino

As you can see, Linda was extremely emotional only two days after the devistation from Huricane Sandy.

[@stellartunes]

This video is extremely powerful. The purpose of art in general, and music, is to make one feel....Ms. Eder delivers on every level.

[@jocelynmandyuy3632]

She is real... I love her.

[@johnwiding3900]

I adore her, bring's tear's to my eyes... Listened to her maybe 2,000 times since being on American Idol. The voice of a an Angel........John

[@Streisand70]

Don't you mean Star Search?

[@fludu1]

what an artist

[@judyshai1]

She’s magical! What a voice, what presentation, what charm. She’s the tops of all female singers ever!

[@davidtoddsingleton]

star search...american idol came MUCH later.

[@gcbari]

She was emotional because her son lost a 2 school friends in the hurricane.

[@asdfasdf6791]

Only if she didnt cry in the end of the singing... it ruined it.

[@cathiemac]

Saw her in Jackson, Mi Nov 15 and she finished with this song...have always loved her version but more so after seeing this video. The MOST incredible singer I have heard in my 70 years.

I live in Ypsi & wanted to go to that but I am a OTR driver & not anywhere near home.

What is the constant clicking sound?!? Arrgghhh!

LINDA EDER HAS ONE OF THE BEST VOICES OF ANYONE, ANYWHERE...........SHE'S 2ND TO NONE.

[@thedon3608]

I ran out of descriptions for her voice. WOW!

[@lenwelch2195]

She goes out of her way Not to be a celebrity that her voice and talent could compel her to follow . She has a professional life and a private life . Judy would be so proud of her approach to her career and delighted that another has come along after Streisand ( Judy Streisand Eder - come along every 40 years . She has a sense of herself that is so well balanced and sees herself as important as any one else , not more so because she can sing . Some are teachers, some are nurses

[@TheMarciaann]

I could watch/listen to this a million times......and get thrills and chills each time......what a voice!!! None better.

[@asdfasdf6791]

So refined voice going. Yet never god any negative point. And this video never would be given by. But is she a blend?

If the World Basketball Sports has Kobe Bryant+Michael Jordan+Stephen Curry; so does Chess World has Robert James Fischer+Garry Kasparov; the Mathematical Science does with GF Bernhard Riemann+Isaac Newton+James Clerk Maxwell+Leonhard Euler+Carl Friedrich Gauss+”Albert Einstein w/Mileva Marity Maric”; and so does the World of Music expressed in so powerful yet artistically angelic voice too deeply subtle and mathematically balanced in the rare perfection of sound which energy, frequency & resonance are most creatively at play in an orchestra-like integration of form, harmony, melody, rhythm of rarefied singing that dances as it speaks of TRUTH, BEAUTY & GOODNESS of her humanity; yes she does so majestically a genius of a compleat voice that has the power to captivate every heart of man to act w/ peace & unity towards all. She is arguably a most under-rated Best Singer-Female Vocalist in the “World of Music Industry” that sadly each known Female Category Vocalist Music Award like “this & that ‘Musical Award’ ” misses her nomination(s) beyond doubt. That is, her nomination alone puts justice to her rarefied multi-dimensional voice of perfect quality yet equated to add INTEGRITY, HONOUR, and RESPECT to such established World Musical Performing Artist Awards, like the Grammy Award, American Music Award, American Cinema Award, and the like, to include “Presidential Medal of Freedom; or, The Congressional Gold Medal” of USA. She deserves whichever it is awarded to her: a True American Woman in blood & personality embracing the True Ideals of a True American Citizen before all humanity. Yes, she humbly stands out the BEST with her GOD-Gifted Voice of a Genius Musicality. Yes, non-arguably she is one of the BEST Female Vocalists, one among the World’s Top 10 Best Female Artists, 1among Winning Champion Vocalists we are fortunate to witness on Earth. Today, she is as consistently highly talented vocalist as since then back in her competing time of Winning Dimensional Voice so much as until Today’s now she remains 1 of the World Best Female CHAMPION Vocalist(s). She is LINDA EDER.

THIS SONG IS VERY SENTIMENTAL FOR HER THAT IS WHY SHE CRIED. SHE REMEMBERED HER HAPPY DAYS WITH HER HUSBAND WHO LEFT HER.

[@jamesgardner3774]

Linda Eders voice is truly from heaven above! The Lord thy God has touched her!

[@mikegerow4987]

My wife and I attended this performance in Verona, NY. She was unable to finish the set, apologized and walked off. A bit confusing at the time.

[@ChrisStockslager]

Was there any indication as to why she walked off??

[@rongross309]

This concert took place just a couple of days after the horrendous devastation of Hurricane Sandy. Linda's son lost 2 of his friends, to that storm.

[@brookemartin6101]

@@rongross309 If I recall correctly, hasn't Linda also mentioned that they knew 1 of the children that was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting ?. I seem to remember that being mentioned.

[@rongross309]

@@brookemartin6101 Actually, it was Hurricane Sandy. Two of her son's friends were killed. Absolutely heartbreaking.

[@brookemartin6101]

I love when a singer sings the intro to the familiar beginning.

[@miguelbisnar6241]

IT SEEMS SELF-PITY TOOK OVER HER AT THE END OF THE SONG WHICH SHE FAILED TO FINISH.

[@robertrothberg8678]

Miguel bisnar,it only proves she has emotions and feelings.linda eder has one of the best voices of any singer.in addition,she is the most humble,down to earth person.
