Someone Like You {In Concert, 1999} - Linda Eder

Linda Eder singing 'Someone Like You' with Frank Wildhorn on the piano. Seriously, this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written...

[@TerryComo2010]

You can see they were so in love then, so sad it did not last. One of the greatest female vocalists of all time.

[@davidantill2029]

Is there anything better than a beautiful lady singing a beautiful song

[@BobMorris-cb7cf]

Frank Wildhorn is not only an amazing composer, but a stellar accompanist! Also helps that a gorgeous woman who happened to be your wife, is standing in front of you singing the beautiful piece you wrote!

[@DOCTORJAN714]

That's patently IMPOSSIBLE. A voice like that couldn't POSSIBLY come out of a human being. I can't stop crying every time I hear her sing that song.

[@50kevind]

For me there’s no one who performs this beautiful song better than Linda. No matter how many times I listen to it, I still get goosebumps every time. She is pure class

[@kathyandjimpullaro522]

The most beautiful and powerful voice ever. I saw her in Jekyl & Hyde. She was spectacular.

[@biddybooable]

while she signed my Playbill I was telling her how I listen to Jekyll and hyde all the time. she looked me in the eye and said "i'll bet you sing along too". what else could I say but- "BUSTED!!".

[@kathyandjimpullaro522]

What an stunning proformance. I had the pleasure of seeing her in Jekyl and Hyde, superb. What a voice!!!

[@jimmaisch7851]

People who can " sing" are a dime a dozen...but only singers like Linda Eder give the listener the full emotional impact that great music deserves.. believing the lyrics, i think, is key..there has to be something there behind and beyond the words..Also she has great lungs ! TRUE talent... beautiful song too !

[@mt-nv4jd]

She absolutely smashes my poor old heart to bits.

[@christopherseaborn4084]

That is the most romantic piece of singing I have ever witnessed. Talk about chemistry. Right there is "the look of love".

[@mariewilliams4290]

4:05 & 4:11-4:23 when she belts out, here, I literally get goosebumps every time. I mean EVERY TIME!! I just can’t explain in words how extraordinarily amazing Linda is. Bravo. Bella

[@scottford6383]

A beautiful song sung by a very talented lady.

[@TheMarciaann]

Linda Eder's voice is pure perfection.

[@colnag2158]

I love how even though they're divorced, they're still extremely close friends

[@mchllhldr]

WOW! I never ever get tired of hearing her sing.

[@candacehernley2955]

Love to hear her sing!! She is so good!!!❤❤

[@barbaraz8264]

Her rendition of this song leaves me breathless.

[@rileycoyote8275]

It brings me to tears every single time

[@lenwelch2195]

The last refrain , Linda takes you to a place that seems impossible to reach - her voice blooms with power and clarity - the sound the heart makes when it’s overflowing with love . Beautiful !

[@pathutson9319]

I haven't heard a voice that is pitch perfect and clear as a bell since Judy Collins. Just exquisite.

[@simonhassing1438]

Q+

[@cloudambient]

This was not pitch perfect.

[@ernieaplasca2780]

The original is so good however the version of Morissette Amon singing this song is something to remember by!

[@danielcrossing1880]

Agreed

[@graceorias1832]

You should also try listening to Lea Salonga's version of this song. It is amazing as well.☺️

[@miguelbisnar6241]

YOU CAN FEEL THE WARMTH OF LOVE FILLING THE ROOM. WHAT MADE THIS SONG SO MEMORABLE IS THAT IT WAS SANG BY HIS WIFE WHILE THE HUSBAND COMPOSED IT AND PLAYED THE PIANO. LOVABLE PAIR. BUT IT DID NOT LAST.

[@larrygorman4110]

My wife saw Linda Eder on The Today Show some years ago and told me about her. We were about to leave the NYC metro area in 2004 and got 3rd row tickets to see Linda Eder in concert with the Boston Pops at Radio City. WOW. What an evening, sadly capping it off with her own rendition of NY NY. We hated leaving. Been a fan ever since - crystal clear perfect pitch voice at any volume, very little vibrato, if any. Barbra Steisand comparisons? PULLEASE. Streisand is too nasally and can't hold a candle to Eder. I listen to this song so often. Timeless. Incomparable. Spectacular range, volume control, and tonal quality. Perfection.

[@philipcarthy2977]

She has the most exquisite voice.

[@alfrienguyen9966]

Oh my goodness.. That voiceeee.. It resonates like a sound from heaven or something.. This woman is amazing.. bravo

[@kathyandjimpullaro522]

I had the exquisite pleasure of seeing Linda, in Jeckyl and Hyde. She was brilliant. A voice of an angel. Love,love her voice..1 of a kind.

[@jja8750]

Amazing. Pitch perfect. And that final minute. Holy moly.

[@chanj1950]

I was lucky to see Linda Eder live in concert in Cleveland's Playhouse Square. Her voice is pure, magic. Incredible! You could have heard a pin drop while she sang. She is a truly magnificent talent!

[@paigeelise5421]

sometimes she reminds me of Bernadette Peters, sometimes Barbra Streisand, and sometimes Celine Dion and yet she has a voice all of her own. She has a stunning voice, fantastic control, and an amazing range. She is my singing idol, I absolutely love her.❤❤

[@robertkleiber4645]

Celine Dion has a high shreaky voice

[@nancydraper7319]

She is such an amazing singer with a wide range! I think she surpasses Celine Dion and Barbra Streisand. She is my favorite singer!

[@chuckandtom1]

I always find it difficult to determine "the best" when it comes to artistic performance, but I do know you'll never find better than this.

[@MrBoybergs]

Excellent comment.....

[@bobdiepold2122]

Beautiful song sung wonderfully by Ms. Eder. Love how when she hits the high note she winks at Frank Wildhorn on the pian. Saw her in J&H and she was fantastic, wish she would have done other shows on Broadway.

[@thomaslucia3059]

It is indeed an incredible song, sung by a most amazing voice. I truly cannot imagine anyone else bringing such beauty and depth to the glorious music and lyrics.

[@Pentonavalsolutions]

Try lea salonga.she really nails it too.

[@peacelovingjenny]

Jose Luis Chinchilla Hear, hear. ❤️

[@ej6591]

I watch this video when I'm upset or angry or have any negative feeling.🖤

[@eleazarmoeljono-99]

Stunning voice! This is a relationship goal, having spouse who will accompany each other making art!

[@ccyid]

Unfortunately, they divorced in 2004.

[@cacvpc]

True. And I know they divorced, and all... but I don't think I could ever keep a straight face without crying, if I had to stare at my husband the entire time I sang such a sweet song.

[@shirleysegrest5720]

How beautiful Linda sings!!!

[@PauliChromatic]

A combination of Barbara, Whitney and Shirley Bassey. Powerful, sweet and artistic. Nonetheless, a very distinct voice of Linda Eder. She is a great talent.

[@rileycoyote8275]

She's far better than any of them. Her talent stands alone.

[@donschmidt8203]

Linda Eder is a wonderful performer but anyone who thinks her rendition of this song compares in any way to Lea Salongas is dreaming. No pause, no fading from one level to another with her voice, unparalleled enunciation and raw emotion. This does not diminish Linda Eder in any way, yet Lea Salonga stands alone as the greatest female singer ever. Listen to the two renditions and judge for yourself. No contest.

[@na1959]

@@donschmidt8203 I did. I prefer linda's. Pauses reflect emotion and so does fading. There's nothing inferior about doing that in respect to not doing that, both are clearly artistic choices and linda's fit better for the role. Lea is my favourite broadway artist, so you can tell I'm giving it from a totally unbiased view. This is a cry of desperation and linda's power is up to the task to reach the sky. The grit, the power in her lungs, the rawness and distortion of her voice represent her character to the bone. Lea's voice is too crystal and clear for lucy type of down in the dumps character (with a hint of cockney) (just like fantine), the role requires some resistance in your voice. Linda was made for this role and her rendition will always be the best. The climax of the song blows my socks of with linda. You need down and dirty here not clear and angelic. Don't get me wrong. Lea has perfected the formula to deliver any song with proper form of emotion, perfect diction and voice. But her voice type is not the best for any song. She's a storyteller but that doesn't mean she will deliver all songs the best. Pleasant and clear doesn't always mean best in broadway. If that was so, you'd have everyone trying to be like lea. Lea is an artist who can sound great in any song. But that's not the point. Again, don't get me wrong..lea has been kim, she has some similarities to this character. I mean technically, kim can also count as down in the dumps character. But the reason lea works as kim but not lucy because of how young kim is. And then the narrative changes to her being a mother and then lea's voice is completely appropriate for that. Lucy is the kind of character who's a smartass because she's seen all. She thinks she knows all men and is cynical as heck about it. But when for the first time she gets hope..that's the fading for. Because she's an older character , so her voice fades in that nostalgic but hopeless (because she's cynical) type of way as she thinks about her miserable past. Kim was young, so her voice is still filled with naivety and is timid in comparison because of the fear she has. (That's why her voice works so well on characters like Kim and even eponine.) When kim gets hope with sun and moon, it's more eager while when lucy gets hope it's constrained, hence the pauses. Kim's voice matures but it's more in the motherly "I am a dignified woman now", fashion. People have their own preferences. I'm not dreaming or delusional to think linda's is superior.

[@gdmoore]

@@na1959 Thank you for an excellent critique of both artist. 💯 agree.

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

@@donschmidt8203 Lea Salonga is my favorite singer so I listened to both versions and I have to disagree with you. Linda’s is much better. Which is crazy cause Lea is almost always better and even when she’s not, she’s pretty close. I was going to explain in detail but I just read NAs reply to you and he said it better than I ever could. Lea sounded like a Disney princess. It didn’t have the raw emotion and texture that this song needs.

[@saundrafloyd4370]

She is magical

[@bbbrrrm]

What a gorgeous voice 😮

[@bryanabriz508]

I feel she sang this song best on the Rosie O'Donnell Show. The first time I heard her i fell in love!!

[@LivingHiloStyle]

I don't believe that there are many singers that can make that awesome transition starting at 4:20.

[@ricoconde1772]

If you have time to spare check Morissette Amon's take on this classic it would be a time well spent..

Beautiful song, beautiful singer, beautiful voice

I literally could not breath, like breathing heavy, throughout this entire performance. ESPECIALLY the end---GUH!! I love her, music is such a powerful thing gosh darnit haha and wildhorn can write a tune to save thousands of lives besides his own ^_^

[@mogumogu1996]

lyrics: I peer through windows Watch life go by Dream of tomorrow And wonder why The past is holding me Keeping life at bay I wander lost in yesterday Wanting to fly But scared to try But if someone like you Found someone like me Then suddenly Nothing would ever be the same My heart would take wing And I'd feel so alive! If someone like you Found me! So many secrets I long to share All I have needed Is someone there To help me see a world I've never seen before A love to open every door To set me free So I can soar If someone like you Found someone like me Then suddenly Nothing would ever be the same There'd be a new way to live A new life to love If someone like you Found me Oh, if someone like you Found someone like me Then suddenly Nothing would ever be the same My heart would take wing And I'd feel so alive! If someone like you Loved me! Loved me! Loved me!

[@jillsalkin7389]

I think if Linda Eder had become well known in the 60s, she would have been in direct "competition," but would have been more widely known. I can't think of any other reason why this didn't happen. Or, maybe there was one Barbra, and even she had to "compete" with the Beatles and other acts that came along a few years after her fame in Funny Girl.

[@arikakku664]

From time to time, a person, or a child in this case, discovers the gift of singing and would become a new generation of great singers... Beau's powerful performance gives me goosebumps every time I hear her. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2XWaWlup5t3ZtE Or the waterfall, or music heard so deeply That it is not heard at all, but you are the music While the music lasts.

[@hjcross3047]

[@neilholden1885]

I don't and could never understand why several people treats marriage like an acquisition of an asset - once you are done using it, dispose and acquire another. Once would be enough, i suppose - for those who were forced, under an extremely difficult situation . Weird mindset however, if that is how you define love (?), then so be it.

[@frankgroff2604]

omg...ther best ever

[@donschmidt8203]

Judy Collins and Barbra Streisand are both totally overrated as singers. They sing with the power and intensity of a rag mop. I enjoy much of linda eders work, but I stand by lea salonga as unquestionably the greatest singer I have ever heard. She becomes each character of a song she performs. There are no flaws vocally or spiritually. I challenge every fair and objective listener out there to put aside where she comes from and truly appreciate this unprecedented talent. If she were a white American singer instead of Filipino more people would recognize her for what she is, simply the best. What I love about les mis is that it is probably the best musical ever for two reasons. Number one the incredible score and and also that they gave Lea Salonga the opportunity to play eponine and also her mother fantine in later years. The fact she wasn't white was irrelevant in their decision. There is a reason it's called acting! Surf you tube or any other medium for this womans work and you will see an unmatched treasury of musical artistry. Throw out that she isn't white. That has no place in a fair society.

[@cloudambient]

I honestly think she's over rated. You can hear vocal strain, some of her vowel placement is so weird and a lot of her timbre gets stuck in the back of her throat. Yuck.

[@allykelly]

Explain where's the strain? What kind of tension did she have here?

[@adonaiourgod]
