Losing My Mind - Michael Ball

[@billbrimmer1739]

Well-done sir. Have only heard females sing this previously, and marvelously I might add. Mr. Ball gives a great performance, and I thank him for that.

[@howardstrauss5337]

Men can sing? This moved me Mr Ball. Impressive. Beautiful.

[@cosmicordering1]

Perhaps Michael Ball at his best ever.

[@missimin]

I often play Julia McKenzie or Marin Mazzie singing that song. Now I've added Michael Ball's rendition. As always, listening to him is pure pleasure.

[@helios1912]

1989 London --I was in the third row of "Aspects of Love"--Michael Ball levitated the theater with his performance. Have followed him ever since.

[@montiralei]

The first time I heard this song was when Michael Ball recorded it for his “Musicals” album.

[@carolynzaremba5469]

Nice to hear a man sing this. About time.

[@annbutcher45]

Love this rendering of this song we need to hear this more in his concerts.This song and At last by ETA James are my two favourites.⭐️

[@merielkirton1145]

When I first heard this song and him singing it, I fell in love with it, and it is still one of my favourite songs. Gorgeous

[@dashashe]

I think he does a great job of this. He's a master of conveying emotion. If you see this on a bigger screen, there's a tear in his left eye at the end that he has to blink away twice...what a doll! Oh, and love those dimples!!! :)

[@ianhands1001]

mr.perfection. no other word michael ball rules the stage

[@superjuniormoon_marcia]

I think that Michael is wonderful in this song, as usual.Actually he is wonderful in every song. I´m loosing my mind trying to find a way to carry him home with me. Just his smile worth his weight in gold.Wonderful singer, great performer.Beautiful smile.

[@timothytew6724]

I've listened to all the versions of this song, and he makes me cry the most..... I mean my God, how does a song and a voice do this to a person. Hearing this for the first time reminds me of the first time I heard Elaine Stritch sing "Ladies that Lunch" or Ethel Merman sing "Some People".

[@cosmicordering1]

So awesome,his heart is fully in it. Perhaps no one on earh could sing this song like Mr Ball, excellence excelled! His whole soul shines through this. He is Cosmic ...

[@davidmichael4173]

My favorite performance of this song. Perfection.

[@rosemarywatkins4121]

A beautiful voice and a good man.

[@clark1017]

He is such a talent. America really still doesn't know him which is a shame.

[@suzannec4834]

What a great and versatile voice.

[@terrisweeny2159]

He’s fantastic...cute too.❤️

[@mrsdiana324]

Unusual to hear a male voice singing as its a female part in stephen sondheims follies but mr ball does a wonderfull job with it

[@hotoneinspai]

Barry... Yes I always associate this song with Barbara Cook ... But, In this case you should hear Tim Curry's rendition...So powerful you'll never think of this song as a Female Part ever again. This is v good though.

[@theuns42]

He had a masterclass from Sondheim telling him how to sing this song. Brilliant

[@francespower4631]

Beautiful.What a gift Michael is both as a singer and person

[@angelstarfelix29]

Absolutely captivating and unexpected❤

[@LuckyJrEskie]

God, I love Michael Ball! His voice is enthralling ...

[@cub8869]

Just wonderful

[@Seabasstien]

Very very Good I love that he reminds me of Dorothy Collins from the original Broadway cast and the despair and heartache in her rendition. She and Ball can sing but that's not like a lot of singers, what they are on stage to prove. Dorothy tears me every time I hear her.

[@mayahaidar6488]

I am always delighted when a singer I love sings a song I love

[@Aarondefyinggravity]

Absolutely love Michael Ball

[@EnigmaComics]

oh michael ball you beautiful talented man

[@eddiecat]

Oh Michael this song suits your beautiful voice perfectly! Bravo!

[@suzannebenz8928]

What a brilliant performer!!!!!! I love you, Michael.

[@broadwaylove52]

I love Michael Ball!

[@angelialvares]

Brilliant, he gave me the goosebumps. Great rendition of feelings and emotions...

[@bearfatty69]

I love his voice and the way he performs. Thank you for posting.

[@johnny062448]

michael ball issimply fantastic!

[@dbrel]

Really nice voice... wow..

[@prestigiothunder6062]

What a perfect voice!!

[@CDR4761]

I just found him yesterday. Yes, I feel like I really have missed a very special voice.

[@murielbarker4311]

Where that phone book Michael could sing that and we still be with him at end Brilliant ❤️❤️

[@JadedBass]

I think you can tear any performances to pieces, and though I've heard Micheal ball cheese this up in other recordings, I think this is an Honest performance for this song. It moved me the first time I watched it. and thats what matters. and if it didnt move you, well then dont watch it.

[@tonibell29]

Really, is there anything more perfect than Michael Ball? Think not

[@steph.alexandra]

Wonderful interpretation and beautiful sound

[@JeddtheJedi]

I love Hey Mr Producer, and when I watched the video it was the first time I had heard the song, not being very familar with Sondheim earlier. I was completely blown away by Michael Ball's rendition and immediately went to look for other versions of the song. I like his best.

[@tealeafsen]

Just Wow!

[@Chriswren9]

What a great version!

[@cosmicordering1]

As artist and song mesh, the heart and mind become one. A song gifted from the Cosmic for Michael ... but did he know it? You decide. Be Cosmic ....

[@PeBoVision]

This song is SO much more powerful with a male vocal. Perhaps it is that we don't usually associate obsession with the male half of unrequited love (strange since it is probably most common). Great showtune made better with Mr Ball's stellar vocals.

[@marcoterres3421]

I've just noticed that Michael Ball kinda looks like Jonathan Groff, they're so look alike, especially when Ball was younger.

[@cargo71]

Wonderful song and wonderful voice. When I saw "Hey, Mr. Producer!" on TV this song (like others)where cut. I love this song, and the entire show.

[@alisonstringer563]

He is fabulous his voice is better and better as the years go by lost count of how many times I have listened to him singing this song 3:25

[@googleuser2874]

This is my 2021 quarantine song.

[@JPLEYONKO4]

Same

[@carriewhite410]

I LOVE YOU TOO, MICHAEL!!! ^_^ I see Bernadette in the background

[@caseym5004]

I'm usually not a huge fan of Michael Ball, but I LOVE this video!

[@mylesag2]

Great rendition. Vibrato is fine. It works very well for this song. Plus, he's eye-candy!!

[@mrspip5]

This song tells evey aspect of what I feel for the guy that I madly fell in love\ over 35 years ago .Circumstances has led us to different directions.... but the feelings will always be there between us.... and no one, nor nothing will change that. He is the love of my life and my forever lover.

[@johnvolkman7208]

Excellent!

[@RoxxyBabygirl2006]

WONDERFUL VOICE!

[@booooomSPLAT]

This is my favorite version of this song by far.

[@forgiveninasong]

every time i hear this, i'm a mess. god, i love michael ball so much

[@ianhands1001]

fantastic performance this is from hey mr.producer great vocal as always

[@Mahvelous14]

When will America discover this wonderful talent? I've seen him several times on the West End, as have many visiting Americans.

[@louanngeorges864]

So Beautiful!

[@carl_lindquist]

Loved this video! All the best!!

[@JadedBass]

I think its really to tear any performance to pieces, I can see where it can be a bit showy, but he ultimaletly delivers the emotion of the song, which is the most important part. I personally think he does a great job here, espicially comparing it to other version of this song done by him. Hes honest and sings quite well in this performance.

[@kilianyo]

Dios!!!!!!!!!!! como me gusta esta canción.

[@mooseyman74]

Talented bloke

[@fernandocasas4985]

wow, so amazing!

[@CKW71]

Gotta love it!

[@rositahidalgo6743]

SUPERB!!!

[@gemmagraves7854]

I love this song

[@forgetz11z]

He' gives me chills every time!!:D

[@dawnburnett6887]

Love Julia McKenzie singing this, but oh my, Michael 💕

[@carriewhite410]

I haven't heard the original, but I love his version of this. It's absolutely gorgeous.

[@davespy81]

Love him, I saw him is Hairspray in July and he was AMAZING!!! This is my favorite Sondheim Song.

[@ScenemoSweetie]

Michael Ball's is my favourite cover of this, Tim Curry's coming in at second. I love Michael ball and this is one of my favourite Sondheim songs. :')

[@drewseph30]

He rocks!..this is what this song is about to me.

[@caseym5004]

It was in the musical "Follies" by Stephen Sondheim, this song was sung by the character Sally, originally played by Dorothy Collins.

[@aikigirl61]

@couturesixfour When you've played starring roles in West End and Broadway theaters for decades, your packed houses easily justify the vibrato.

[@CrazyCamo]

Worked my whole life to be a great ballet dancer, now I'm going to an audition for a Broadway show because christopher wheeldon is choreographing the dancing, my sister says that this would be good for my resume... I think I might learn my 16 bars from this song but omgsh, I may be able to sing in front of my computer quite alone, but, this is going to be scary.. Heights Fights and center stage at the met wouldn't scare me, but singing >.> how much more intimate can you get..

[@tommystevenson2921]

brilliant

[@mac2920]

Bravo...

[@jstrick362]

I love Mr. Ball, and have actively followed his career for 20 yrs. His voice is superb, and he always carries himself well onstage. However, with all due respect to him, he tried to SING Sondheim here, and it's a credit to his talent that it wasn't a bad performance. I've seen this show several times, and every other version was superior to this one, even on the regional theatre level. The notes are written to follow the range and emotion of the speaking voice, and contribute to the moment.

[@wormyeyes]

Hear julie athertons version of this song on her new album - NO SPACE FOR AIR - available on 06.06.10 Only a few spaces left for her launch concert at the Delfont Room, Prince of Wales Theatre - 7pm - 6th June 2010.

[@easilyamused1111]

Strange you should say that. I recall that Michael Ball said that Stephen Sondheim had heard his recorded version of the song, but thought he should be sing it differently. So Mr. Sondheim worked with Michael, giving him a kind of "master class" during the rehearsals so he perform it the way Sondheim thought it should be performed. So I guess you disagree with Mr. Sondheim's interpretation of his own song.

[@sarali40]

It's from Hey, Mr. Producer! - a huge tribute to Cameron Mackintosh.

[@avuncular300]

A bravura performance, indeed !!

[@insolence8218]

This song is so damn haunting... tearfully haunting... =-(

[@catannelittle]

i think micheal ball sings the most beautiful musical sounding version of this song. but listen to the tim curry version, he sings the song like he is feeling every tiny particle of the emotion in the song. I love both versions and it depends on how i am feeling which one i listen to

[@sf_feller]

Yes, it's from "Follies."

[@jeffeastwood15]

Stephen Sondheim wrote it for one of his shows, probably Company or Follies

[@grahamgregson]

Nice voice :)

[@horavali]

Actually, the video is from "Hey, Mr. Producer", a wonderful show produced in 1998... if I'm not mistaken.

[@nycmatch]

Wow.

[@LFD254]

@teddybears1232001 Yes, that is Bernadette Peters. This is a clip from a "Broadway-like" review, I think from the BBC. Like acommand perfromance for the royal family or somethingliek that. Its origin used to be posted somewhere in the comments

[@jakeporch4236]

Sounds like it starts in E-flat major and ends in G-flat major. Could be wrong, could be more modulations in the middle, but I just listened to the beginning and end parts

[@cosmicordering1]

Perhaps may I add, what about a Eurovision song from this singer ... the singer in this video, not the lost soul he seems to be now in 2012.

[@EmilySteil]

The reason i like Tyler is because i feel a feeling in my hreat i never got to know anyone on a personal basis so i don't know if i have someone that is the one

[@Mprmns828]

this is what we all feel when were in love..

[@musikmadchen3]

Anthony Warlow's version will always be my favourite, but Michael's comes pretty darn close. I adore how he always puts his all into everything he performs.

[@swanben11]

Dude, Anthony Warlow isn’t even human. It’s not in the realm of possibility.

[@ianhands1001]

@singsongfly this is from follies wrong musical muppet

[@thesnuffyupagus]

Love him

[@MyrtleP]

I like Michael Ball, but I always wish he'd give us more singing and less empty space in his vibrato. This is a great presentation of this song.
