Star Search - Linda Eder singing "I Dreamed a Dream"

[cvwarrman]

She butchered it. UGH...one of the worst performances I have ever seen.  Linda Eder exists for the tone deaf. Catte Adams would wipe her off the fact of the planet.

[4piglite]

Do THAT, Susan Boyle!!!!

[DarthxErik]

I just realized I've never heard Linda talk. wow.

[operachild]

I have always been a fan of Linda's demon possessed eyes she gets during high notes... example at 3:43

[gwenUTUBE]

I remember this!!! I was 8 years old!!! Linda Eder introduced me to Les Miserables!!! I love her! :)

[00001111henry]

Susan Boyle voice more powerful than Linda!

[GospelAccording2ME]

@00001111henry You must be kidding. Suzy has a lovely voice, but there's no way in hell she can out-power this powerhouse. Hell, she's not even seasoned enough to make it through a complete performance without incident. Again, I love Sue's voice but I think she's got to get some experience under her belt before she really hits it big. Just my opinion.

[musicbox63]

Her voice is phenomenal and her performance is phenomenal but that arrangement is absolutely AWFUL. Sorry but it really is.

[TheCAMPEA]

@musicbox63 I don't think there's a possible way for me to agree with you more. i love les mis but this particular version is TERRIBLE. ruins the entire integrity of the song. but she did fantastically

[Gatsbyesque]

Absolutely amazing.

[PcolaTigger69]

WONDERFUL. I Love Linda Eder

[davetgail]

I'm looking for a recording  of this but it seems she hasn't done one . A SHAME!!!

[WhiteLionKing10]

The best male vocalist is David Phelps in my opinion. I would love to see David and Linda do a duet!!! Check out the video "The Worlds Best Singers." It shows amazing performances of both of them!

[carwyncymru]

love linda, thank you so much for posting this xxx so good to see a star in the making xxx

[cvwarrman]

DESPICABLE PERFORMANCE! Catte Adams RULED!

[midgedanny1]

Sorry, but Susan Boyle is sooooooooooo much better, I really don't like her at all..

[Fencie87]

There's this quality to Linda's voice and stylistic interpretation... that makes it impossible to hear anyone else in your head when you hear one of her songs!

[ghtsw11]

@Fencie87 You have stated exactly what I think. I could not have phrased it better. There is no-one to compare to her, in my opinion

[clemcamby]

waaaoouuuuuu! i never ever heard a voice as much appropriated for this song!

i'm stucked on my seat! what a voice!!! i'm really moved! plus, she is so beautiful!

and the way she sings is absolutly incredible! this song is so beatiful, and she brought all the things we need! BRAVOOOOOOOO!

[FOXFIRECOMD1]

Fabulous simply fabulous, I wish her the best.

[pudgeuncle]

I have had the great priviledge to see many great artists in concert and Eder always gives me chills from her opening to her finale.

[madgeson]

Great voice . Terrible arrangements.

[EmpressCheesecake]

@madgeson Hey, it was the 80s. :D

[waynegreer72]

One of my all time favorite songs and Linda is one of my favorite singers. But I do not like this arrangement of this song on this performance. Could have been amazing with Linda singing and better arrangements, instead really lame and uninteresting, really fails such a great singer as Linda she deserved better.

[chrisscruzzz]

THIS IS AMAZING...but that rolled eye thing at 2:58

[AtLastOnTheGround]

Not only does she rock it, but she rocks it a key higher!!

[leaner3]

Gorgeous voice and gorgeous lady.

She sang a duet of "Crying"(Roy Orbison) with Clay Aiken at the taping of his PBS special to be shown in August. Can't wait to see and hear them together. From what I hear it was an absolutely beautiful blending of voices.

[geisha25]

meh, whats up with her twitchn' eye...kinda creepy.

[MikeSings82]

Effortless...

[alicanalievic]

Soooo much better than Susan Boyle..

[claylon]

@alicanalievic Nothing against Susan, but I agree, today it is all about the media coverage not the talent at all.

[AnnMargretFan]

Just saw Linda in San Francisco in December - front row seats - she is still AWESOME!

[scath5]

I've been a Linda follower for many years and had always heard about her singing I Dreamed A Dream. I'd never actually seen or heard the performance. Thank you for posting it. It means so much. Linda is marvelous.

[julieafan]

thank you so much.) she is the best

[brookemeganmartin]

This Woman is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!. I've come to my own conclusion that no one can top her, vocally and emotionally. she is My Absolute favorite female vocalist of all time. Now she just needs to sing a duet with my favorite guy Josh Groban and I'll be thrilled.

[perth45]

@brookemeganmartin my favourite too, along with Josh Groban.........

[mlf24601]

@brookemeganmartin

i absolutely agree with everything you said! linda eder + josh groban would be way too amazing for words!

[cpa2011]

@brookemeganmartin

agreed! never thought I would hear someone better than Streisand, but I saw her live and she blew me away!

[nutballgazette]

@brookemeganmartin That would be an amazing Duo

[78kljk]

Terrific.  Just terrific.

[HeKnowsMyWay]

Breathtaking!!

[gcbari]

Her voice has matured and is even more beautiful today.
