My Favorite Broadway: The Leading Ladies - Someone Like You - Linda Eder (Official)

[@tomlang917]

When Linda. Was in high school in brainerd MN...she worked at her dad's restaurant, the Blue Goose I Garrison MN....I had a group then performing at the dance club there..... Linda would come out of the kitchen tosinga few songs with the group during breaks....needless to say everyone was blow away by that voice....and a voice that I'll never forget....I have 3 of Linda's cds and I listen often.

[@keyplayer123]

Not all show-stoppers are the loud barn-burners. When Linda Eder sat center stage on a plain wooden chair and sang this song in Jekyll and Hyde on tour, none of us could move until she finished. Her talent is transcendent.

[@taylorann9081]

She is the greatest most underrated Broadway performer out there! That voice is spectacular. She always manages to give me chills.

[@TheReturnOfStephan1]

03:07 to the end...I'm on the verge of tears. She delivers!!

[@GRHCU]

Linda Eder is an American treasure! When she sings, nothing ever seems the same...

[@lindaeder4704]

GRHCU 7

[@williamdejager3121]

After that enormous super huge humongous belt that she gives... how the hell does she bring it back sooooooo perfectly!!!! That is technique beyond my comprehension!!!

[@2008bruin2008]

She is one of the best singers ever.

[@briansullivan8791]

Doesn't matter how many times I hear Linda Eder sing this, the hair still stands up on the back of my neck

[@thomasschmitz9894]

that and makes me bawl.....

[@brianjavea]

Who is this wonderful singer .?

[@owenlock2372]

Google is your friend :-)

[@colettefan]

Brian Sullivan same. As with most songs she sings. Her voice is simply captivating!

[@thomaslucia3059]

Same here. I first heard this while at a cleaning job, of all places, and the place had a full-house speaker system. The song came on and I was overwhelmed with emotion. The melody is so beautiful and the lyrics grabbed my heart...and that magnificent voice nearly lifted me off the floor. I immediately ordered the CD and I continue to be deeply moved every time I listen. She has a phenomenal voice - the range is incredible and her mix of power (belt) and pianissimo is VERY rare. WOW!

[@ms.martiegallego8834]

This is one of those songs that touch the heart, and with Linda Eder singing it, WOW !! THIS is one of the songs that made Jekyll and Hyde a good Musical !!

[@neilholden1885]

Perfect and gorgeous. That's what she is. 😍

[@PauliChromatic]

One of the most amazing voice. Her resonance is simply majestic.

[@JackSmith-qy9is]

Linda Eder is an incredible treasure. No one compares to her!

[@TheMarciaann]

I could listen to Linda sing 24/7 * what a voice.............unbelievable!

[@dladygray9017]

Wish she'd had a better agent, she deserves to have been known better. Someone sure fell down on the job! Linda is absolutly one of the most wonderful singers!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful, too.

[@cards0486]

Beverley Carte I got to see her in JEKYLL & HYDE in NYC. Her name wasn’t one I knew. But when she sang that my backbone tingled! I have been disappointed she hasn’t done more shows. She’s truly amazing.

[@jimjackson9719]

I knew Linda Before Star Search. She never wanted the limelight of Stardom, and frankly I think she did a great job of walking the edge between sharing her talent and keeping her life.

[@janicekrieger7568]

I SO agree

[@MadanRajaRock]

@@jimjackson9719 Linda is the only singer with her level of caliber and name recognition who would give somebody from India like me a voice lesson. One of her voice students Allie asked if she could interview and Linda agreed and gave her 40 minutes of her time. So I completely agree; let's be grateful for the fact that our favourite singer is so down to earth and accessible and not floating above the stars.

[@mburns75]

Linda chose to stay under the radar. She loves her horses and quiet life. ❤

[@angelaboncore3132]

Superb in every way !!!

[@everettfenton2681]

I recently stumbled upon this song and the wonderful performances of Linda Eder. Thank God for the vastness of KZbin. Every time I hear her sing this song, I am truly blown away!!

[@dennisbelkofer4794]

She out-sang all of the other ladies - and the audience's response confirms it. I've seen her many time in concert - and each time she was consistently wonderful.

[@maianhquang5425]

how can anybody give this brilliant performance thumb down.how disrespectful they are.

[@diannes.3900]

Can’t even find the words to adequately describe this performance. She is one of a kind.

[@officefan777]

She makes it look as simple and easy and breathing. But it is impossibly perfect and beautiful and far from easy. 💜

[@steve-from-toronto]

Almost 20 years ago now. How time flies. She was extraordinary here.

[@BarneyAndCoco]

This lady has pipes. Born with a talent I can hardly comprehend

[@StevieKiesendahl]

She is still going strong. Her voice is better than ever in 2016! She has 14 solo albums and does concepts all over the country. She is really a gem!

[@Ronaloka1]

I wish they would put our her first album. The original Scarlet Pimpernel. This was the first time I hear this lady sing. I was hooked. It is almost presumptuous of me to say that her first album contains some of her finest work ever. If you can get this anywhere GET IT!

[@sydneywebb1968]

Just incredible. No one like you, Linda.

[@2008bruin2008]

God I love Linda Eder. Her voice is so amazing. She's like God's gift to the world.

[@CalebHerscher]

Beautiful version of this song.....Linda you are incredible talented

[@Rkbmomma]

My favorite song she performs is "Man From La Mancha", the Don Quijote musical. Chef's Kiss to hear this woman sing the heck out of that song (traditionally sung by the lead male performer).

[@1931JC]

She is magnificent.

[@circuslife888]

One of the best female singers for sure.

[@Infectionguru]

Just WOW!

[@DeFilmKater]

Goosebumps all over, Linda Eder is such a great singer!

[@jonboxleitner7354]

So down to Earth, but so far above anyone else.

[@CalebHerscher]

This song makes me sad........beautiful song

[@WendyWatersctmm]

Officially my favourite singer!!

[@artieoliverio4124]

Just incredible, I saw her live in Ann Arbor when she first performed her 911 tribute song " If I had my way", look it up outstanding

[@GRHCU]

Every time I hear this it seems to get better!!

[@CulbsDC]

What a voice. ❤️

[@jayhizon3305]

I love this song.. This was our wedding song..

[@JerkyPuck]

Snap snap snap!!! Go 'head on girl!!!

[@museumgirl9]

That's how you sing the crap out of a song.

[@pattyspelman3446]

She is just the best!

[@DarthxErik]

Flawless

[@tomschmitz1336]

song makes me bawl every time....

[@Cookieanderson1]

She is so good that it hurts.

Have you heard her sing Man of La Mancha?

[@TheMarciaann]

Pure perfection!

[@howardkoor9365]

Sensational

[@jennymalcomb5908]

[@jak30341]

[@suzannerider9460]

She was actually Frank Wildhorn's wife for 6 years. She has a Norwegian father and an Austrian mother. She was born in Tucson, Arizona but she was raised in Brainerd in Minnesota. She finished 5th in the Miss Minnesota pageant in 1980. She competed in Star Search in 1988 and won ten times in a row and the final as well. She was the original Lucy Harris alongside Chuck Wagner in the world premiere of "Jekyll and Hyde" the Musical. She was also the first Lucy Harris alongside Robert Cuccioli on Broadway in 1997. Linda was the winner of the Theatre World award for her performance. She was also nominated for the Tonys (Best Actress in a Musical), but lost out to Bebe Neuwirth in "Chicago". I agree that she is a underrated star and deserves to have had more recognition that she got.

[@albertbrizelli]

Love this song

[@Ed-iz4wm]

I saw Ms. Eder on Broadway in Jekyll and Hyde in 1999. Great Voice and presence...(not such a great play), but I love Linda Eder!

[@ictweatherman7562]

Your absolutely Angelic is truly a blessing from God. I'm a Professional Female Impersonator. I'm a Former Miss Gay America. I was doing my normal Sunday Show. However, before I performed this amazing song. The Show Director did my normal introduction. Then he informed our audience, that this song was a special dedicasion to my Boyfriend. Anyway, i spent 3 hours to do my makeup. If I do have to say so myself. I looked beautiful. After my performance, the Show Director stopped our Show. He gave the audience a glass of champagne. The light and Sound people programed and downloaded a special, light, sound, smoke and layzer affects. I got down on one knee ( Most people would never realize how difficult and painful that is) and I asked this wonderful man, if he would give me the extrem honor to spend the rest of his like with me. He said yes. I gave him a beautiful diamond ring. Yes everyone was cheering and crying.

[@Rosannasfriend]

Wow!

[@lindam.lasley5049]

When people said to me in my early years that I was trying to sing like Judy and Barbara. I wish I knew then what I know now. When you love someone, for who they are. No matter what the world may say about them. That love will ring through in everything you do. So as of this day I will be someone like you. In everything I do because I want to be just like you. Just like the other two I love you, because of what you do. You too blow music in the air. I know the language of music. It holds on to all the great and finds a staff to place its finest notes on. Some take a rest yet never to be forgotten. For when that time comes for their conductor everyone is in the show. I want a knew life, a new way to live. Someone to love like you. I think we need you to change this world. Better yet take us to a new world. Thank you, so in the years to come, just for fun someone might say. Linda you're trying to sound like Linda. No, but she is in my heart, so much the same. A very special leading lady-911. Linda I love you in my heart as a person. The same as I met you that first special concert.

[@annaradwan4840]

Brylant!!!!!Cudo!!!!!

[@michelangelomartini9254]

Wonderful "filati"

[@TheChristianOPM]

Great voice. I think she sings like Barabara Streisand. There are similarities in voice quality and techniques

[@skingftl]

She's better than Barbara

[@justinsperanza3673]

@@skingftl I agree. Barbra gets a little nasally and thin in the higher registers. Linda keeps the richness and depth in the higher range

[@swnotley]

I love Linda and she has a great range but even she has said that Streisand is the best doing this music

[@MyWatcher101]

I like the Regine of the Philippines to sing this song, she delivered it differently and fresh.

[@candicescott7176]

She has, in a duet with Lea Salonga.

[@echeleteich3347]

Agree. Wish she'd return to Broadway in Gypsy as Rose. It's time....

[@bobcobbsfavoritemaestro9164]

This is how you SING a song. Sadly it's becoming a lost art.

[@ljjackson7106]

I believe she eclipses Babs. yes I do.

[@cmayone94]

Yes she does! Been following her for years! Her concerts are mind blowing! Pure perfection!

[@TheMarciaann]

I've seen her in concert 10 times.......you're absolutely right: "Pure perfection" WOW!

[@MrCjm608]

Marcia Friedlander I am absolutely, positively jealous of you. I bet it was incredible to see her.

[@BBBYpsi]

Marcia Friedlander: I bought tickets to see her for my step mother as a Christmas gift & she never heard of her. She took my youngest sister who also has never heard of her & lets just say they came back in total awe of Linda. So you claim you have seen her 10 times. I have never seen her, she has not come to Michigan. I hate you!!! (Out of jealously of course)

that ugly word really doesn't belong here. Everything about Ms. Eder exudes class, dignity and elegance.

[@charlenefranco3092]

+67marlins Very true.

[@tomschmitz-dj1fg]

THAT AUDIENCE SHOULD HAVE STOOD UP IN OVATION!

[@lindaeder4704]

hey the

[@joshhalcyon1192]

This is her song obviously but the screaming in the end is still not pleasant to the ear...one doesn't have to widen the mouth or increase volume to impart emotion...I wish she would carry the tone she uses at the beginning throughout the entire song and use her incredible acting ability to paint the scene and create the necessary dynamics..but oh well- her song, her interpretation

[@BBBYpsi]

There was no screaming she is known as a all time great belter. She has incredible power in her voice. She is the queen of the cresendo.

[@lasktdave]

You're nuts. She sang flawlessly.

[@patsy128]

You obviously don’t understand singing and presentation...

[@justinsperanza3673]

6 people do not have ears!

[@nerdykitten1371]

SHE LOOKS LIKE LARA FABIAN!!!

[@toutmoncoeur]

I came looking for Linda after I was listening to Lara. I guess my brain made the connection. Although, they have similar Streisand influenced styles too.

[@jayjeremymossage5965]

Still the same voice quality!!!

[@carlodangelo1]

Wonderful , better than anyone that's popular now , but she can't act. She has to show the song means something personal to her, she has to learn how to fake us out like Babs used to do. Watch her face, her eyes are always the same, she's concentrating on sounding perfect - which she does , now she has to learn how to act.

[@ikurrinegartzia5487]

Grande.

[@DROIDX40]

She's in a with League with Patti LaBelle
