One of my all-time favorites! Linda Eder performs "Man of La Mancha" LIVE. Vocal Analysis and Review

[@Hogtownboy1]

Thank you for introducing me to her. This song was everywhere in the late 80. Badly sung. So good to hear a good version.

[@anthonygeurtsen7143]

I remember the first time I was honored to hear this woman share her voice. And again I am honored. Thank you for reacting to this!!

[@marklane58]

Wow. That is a power voice! It was almost like she produced a pure harmonic on one of the high notes (8:10-18). Amazing. Your 'straight tone' description was so right and I think it is what created so much power while not seeming forced. A beautiful thing. Thanks for the reaction, Beth. 💐💐

[@dpausa]

Dear Bethany . . . i've been a Linda Eder fan ever since she appeared on the music scene back in 1989 / 1990 . . . . i'm not aware of any youtbe analysis/reviews of her other than this one of yours . . . thus, it is so nice to see that you've given her the "Vocalyst" spotlight that she so richly deserves . . . Linda Eder is truly a treasure!!!!!! . . . and so are you, Miss Bethany !!!!!!!!!!!! Danny in Mississippi

[@yeahjustme3680]

I wish more people would discover Linda Eder, she is fantastic. She also has her own KZbin channel, you get to hear a lot of covers she does just for the channel. I knew you had good taste. 🥰 Edit: Of course I posted my comment before the video was over. You already mentioned her channel. 😂

[@NT4XT]

Why i tune into Bethany, music appreciation. Never would have stumbled across Linda Eder otherwise. Expanding horizons. This was fun, thanks for featuring this for me, "new" vocal artist, personality. And helping us to, better understand, and appreciate excellence.

[@morrisyork6133]

I posted the youtube of this vid in the music section of a forum 3 years ago as the definitive version of this song and her signiture performance. My claim went unchallenged.Thank you for introducing it to those unaware.

[@ericcote7531]

Your reactions to this artist are priceless! Love it! Thanks!

[@Abuca7]

Love your reactions

[@Rosannasfriend]

Thank you for spotlighting Linda Eder. She’s been one of my favourites of all time as well.

[@lynnruffino8966]

Linda Eder is my favorite artist of all time. I saw her in 2022, 2023 and have tickets for February in California. You have to see her live! And watch her KZbin. Most down to earth, authentic person ever! ❤

[@jonesonthis]

She's amazing! And I love how much you love her.

[@allen_p]

Powerful and alluring vocals. I went to a church with a Mariachi Mass and Linda's vocals remind me of that passion.

[@MizJilly]

And it's effortless!! Saw her live in a dinner theater. We were sitting within10 feet of her. The power in her voice blew your hair back.

[@ericzeichert511]

Linda has been one of my favorites for years. Her voice is reminiscent of Barbra Streisand, and her Broadway chops are incredible. She has been a secret guilty pleasure for me for about 15 years. I sincerely hope she is a secret no more...

[@franksullivan1873]

See has some pipes,I will give her that.Great passion and power in her delivery.

[@DE2SYD]

wow, thanks what a voice...never heard of her before your video!

[@howardosden3112]

I saw her perform at the grand reopening of the Warner Theatre in Torrington Connecticut a number of years ago. I was already familiar with her from the soundtrack of "The Civil War: The Complete Works." On the album she sings,"A Nurse's Diary", I Never Knew His Name", "Candle in the Window", and "The Glory" (with Michael Lanning & Gene Miller). I love that soundtrack. ❤️ I try to sing along with it, but the feelings hit too hard. I don't know how professional singers can sing such heart-rending songs without losing it. I saw the traveling show at the Bushnell; tears streamed often. 😢

[@ljfinger]

She did lose it during "if I had my way".

[@AviatorLuber]

Absolutely loved this!

[@lindaederofficialyoutube2690]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@1hydrostatic]

Been watching you for a while now i really love your channel! And i love your experiences in vocals and being a vocalist my self for 28 years now iv had the pleasure of working with some amazing engineers! But something you dont see often is a great critic on a person's voice. Whats brought me to leave a comment is something iv never had a experienced person do and thats to rate my vocal abilities. Iv had tons of people tell me i dont sound like anyone else's but i have my on style of singing .well true is im still doing music and its a bucket list now .because of my declining health. Im not going to be able to preform any more after this year sadly. But iv up loaded my songs on the same KZbin page that im commenting off of its called the hydrostatic band. It would be amazing if i had someone like you that knows vocals and how to rate what you feel and hear .to be a critic on how i sound! Thank you and god bless!

[@robertmoritz7954]

Wunderschön. I love her voice. LG

[@mburns75]

Have loved her since her Star Search days! Best!!

[@maghurt]

I'd never heard of her, thank you.

[@sharonlanglois6326]

I am so excited and happy that you reacted to LInda Eder. I've been hoping you would. Like you, I love her voice, personally I prefer her to the often compaired to Streisand. I often play this song when I need a boost, when my mood needs lifting. Have you listened to her in the Scarlet Pimpernel? I love the song the Riddle!

[@ljfinger]

My favorite female singer of all time. I've seen her twice in person and, even against Eva, Aretha, Whitney, Barbra, and others, she's the best in my opinion. Her dynamics on Vienna are breathtaking.

[@mehdismaeili3743]

Excellent.

[@heidicook2739]

Linda is amazing.

[@WilguensBernadotte]

Thanks 🌹❤

[@simonjakob4905]

That is sooo cool!

[@TreyXanthean-c5h]

excellent by all counts!

[@Karsten-cc5ws]

Never heard of her but this is gooood!

[@marcgoldman479]

Love Linda! I've seen her in concert and shows many times. If you love her voice, check out Australian star, Anthony Warlow. Incredible tone and power layered with amazing acting and style. 😊

[@maggiem3386]

I have died and gone to heaven. You FINALLY reviewed one of my absolute fav singers. Next time choose Vienna or More than heaven here on KZbin.

[@mosleyhardy8491]

The whole show is called "My Favorite Broadway - The Leading Ladies" and is available on DVD (but not Blu-Ray sadly). LOTS of first rate singing on it - HIGHLY recommended!

[@haplopeart]

I've loved this song since I first heard Scoot Bakula sing it in Quantum Leap.

[@brianburwick5175]

Lyrics Hear me now oh thou bleak and unbearable world Thou art base and debauched as can be And a knight with his banner all bravely unfurled Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee! I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha Destroyer of Evil am I I will march to the sound of the trumpets of glory Forever to conquer or die Hear me heathens and wizards and serpents of sin All your dastardly doings are past For a holy endeavor is now to begin And virtue shall triumph at last! I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha A Name all the world soon will know And the wild winds of fortune will carry me onward Oh whither so ever they blow Whither so ever they blow Onward to Glory I go! I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha A Name all the world soon will know And the wild winds of fortune will carry me onward Oh whither so ever they blow Whither so ever they blow Onward, to glory I go!

[@brianboyer6012]

This reminds me of an episode of Quantum Leap from back in the day. Anyone else ever see that with Scott Bakula?

[@adamclark6756]

I am a metalhead and have never heard of this singer. While the music is not really for me, i can still appreciate the performance . The way she tells the story brought to mind Dio.

[@SoniaSchmit]

wonderful performance and thank you for introducing me to this singer. Also, if you are still taking suggestions, I would suggest the Faroese Viking metal band Týr (Song: Blood of Heroes) and the Russian Metal band Kipelov (Song: Ya zdes). I sent you an email today with more info and the links to those two live performances (before I read that only suggestions from comments would be considered, so: sorry about that). I hope my suggestions might be considered still, they are both well worth the listen. :)

[@susannradal9303]

Always gives me Barbara Streisand vibes. You should listen to Someone like you by Linda Eder

[@mjcasias]

Feels like it's been forever since I've watched a video. Let's get back to some rock and metal.

[@HildHilden-rx6po]

Thanks for the great reaction 👍 I have a suggestion, can you please react to "like a tattoo" by Sade live from San Diego??? That's one of the best songs I've ever heard

[@chrismolina839]

I love your content, I know you don’t normally do lesser known artists, however, there is an artist that I believe has so much to offer musically. I would love a reaction to Prof - Louisiana. It’s a powerful song. He has a live version as well. He also has songs like Heaven, and vulnerable God. He is an independent artist that I believe deserves more attention. Hopefully you find his work worth a listen.

[@Charles-d4e3b]

Legit saw her in 1997 2 times lol in Jekyll and Hyde on Broadway. Magical! Only maybe but maybe no topped by Wicked 2003 seeing Idina 2 times lol. Oh Broadway was amazing during that run including Les Miserables like 10 times. Scarlett Pimpernel a few , 1776, Camelot etc so many others But Eder in Good and Evil was amazing

[@PaulAdam-m9z]

Would love to see a reaction video to Massive Attack’s - Teardrop (featuring Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins - who you should also check out for sure!)

[@annekeany7851]

I watch these videos by vocal coaches, hoping that they will explain to me what the singer is doing *wrong*. Instead, all I ever hear is "She's so brilliant!! He's my favorite singer ever!! Just perfection!! -- Come on, Bethany, do your job and give us some content worth listening to. I'm sure that if I came to you for lessons, all I would hear from you would be the mistakes I was making.

[@Bobbo-xx3pk]

You’re probably not Linda Eder is my guess. This is one of the best performances in memory.

[@metroidandroid]

you must listen to: Ana Carolina, Seu Jorge - É Isso Aí (The Blower's Daughter)

[@we5xz-1902]

I want to marry you hahaha. Thanks for the great reviews!

[@ericodionneviglione9426]

My favourite quote from that musical (my favourite musical!): “Life as it is. I've lived for over forty years and I've seen life as it is. Pain. Misery. Cruelty beyond belief. I've heard all the voices of God's noblest creature. Moans from bundles of filth in the street. I've been a soldier and a slave. I've seen my comrades fall in battle or die more slowly under the lash in Africa. I've held them in my arms at the final moment. These were men who saw life as it is, yet they died despairing. No glory, no brave last words, only their eyes, filled with confusion, questioning, 'Why?' I do not think they were asking why they were dying, but why they had ever lived. When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams--this may be madness; to seek treasure where there is only trash. Too much sanity may be madness! And maddest of all: to see life as it is and not as it should be!” :)

[@1SEKFilms]

I suggest Falling in Reverse Last Resort...something about Ronnie's vocals/version of the Papa Roach song reaches the feels

[@Rebel.Scum77]

How have you not done sleep token yet??? Vessel is a vibe 👌

[@davidmendez9818]

Hi again! You are going to love this interpretation of this special song too: Alfonsina y el Mar. With the argentine soprano Mariana Flores and thel guitarrist argentino Quito Gato, "Alfonsina y El Mar" , de Ariel Ramírez (1921-2010) & Felix Luna. You can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fV6VoXSjiLOjhKcsi=FoFvhukK0q3VlC9s Knowing your sensibility I'm sure you will enjoy it very much. Thanks❤

[@RustySax1949]

Miss Bethany - LOVE Linda Eder, sad that she's not better known. You know what would be a fantastic concert? Put Linda Eder and Morgan James together for a night of glorious vocals! What do you think?

[@kdgiscool7780]

You should definitely react to 'Rosetta Stoned' by TOOL. Has some crazy singing in it.

[@rachelBrady-ni]

Hi! Can you please do more Slipknot? Unsainted is a good one to get back into since all u heard was Duality. Unsainted, Eyeless, Before I forget, Disasterpiece Live at Pappy and harriets a few months ago w their new drummer, people = $hit also live at Pappy and harriets. I'd love to see u watch more of them bc Corey is amazing at singing and all 9 are so talented

[@miriamolmo4261]

Listen to Sussu Erkinheimo from Finland.

Very Nice! Worthy of a 007 movie ⁉️ What Happened? Kinda sounds like if Shakira had a big sister! Not quite my Top 10 pick for which I only have 5 names! WOW! Spoke to soon!!?? Nice range!! Ok perhaps Shakira's half sister and stepdad was GOD!! Great Episode Bethany!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

[@allhailcale8711]

Sounds like she has like what..three, four different accents? She knows how to tell the story as well as sing it. She knows how to incorporate both feeling and hmm "Magnetism"? Is that the word I'm looking for. Either way, I'm sure you get what I mean.

[@lazherdjouadi8836]

Just amazing Please try to listen To this singer: IDIR his fabulous song AVAVA INOUVA Wright it like this: IDIR- AVAVA INOUVA Enjoy

[@a754111]

Sam Harris won a year before or after her. She won. 1988 I do believe

[@zeedy1011]

I was listening to some Type O Negative in the car today and wondered if you did a vocal analysis for one of their songs. I'm surprised you haven't yet. Peter Steele had a quite unique way of singing I would say. Think it's called bass-baritone, but surely you know best. Anyway, nothign sounds like Type O Negative, voice and music are really unique. And they have a big fanbase that highly values his voice. It would be fun to re-watch their music video of "Love you to death" with you. Their live performance of "Christian Woman" at Bizarre Festival 1999 in Germany is also worth a review. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5qzZqaajNd-eNE

Oh, and she was RUNNER-UP when she competed on Star Search back in the day. Beaten, I believe, by Sam Harris who went on to a nice musical theater and recording career of his own.

[@PhilAlumb]

You're Wrong. Linda Eder was NOT the runner-up on Star Search. She Won the entire competition during her season. The Misinformation spread on social media is Depressing.
