Ruthie Henshall- Maybe This time

[HeleneFischerIstToll]

i didn´t like the version from liza minelli

i think ruthie is great

but some people like her and some liza

[zalman595]

@HeleneFischerIstToll  There's a better version of Ruthie singing this song ( the full tune) much higher quality on You tube. you would be advised to go find it.

[jrievers]

who is this ?:

[AwkwardScenario]

@jrievers- that's Ruthie Henshall. :D

[jemb2000]

Interesting how the comments here differ from the comments on the benjirocks video, which is the same exact performance but in much higher quality video.

[xNatalie24x]

Vocally great but where's the emotion. Liza still owns this song. I wasn't moved at all by this performance.

[georgiegirl450]

That was no good. I knwo a 16 year that performs it better and with less tension in her throat.

[jnmklo9]

Ruthie is very pretty and can sing and act and dance. Unfair to mention her in the same breath as Liza.

[robotchicken15748]

teens outdid her on a tv show? do u know how old Kristin chenoweth u idiot? blackrock star u idiot! shes in her 40's u dumbshit. and shes amazing. so dont just say that teens outdid her on tv cuz u dont know what ur talking about.

[13sophapop]

i think that Glee pretty much beats the rest

[megan747]

you HAVE seen the original liza version, have you? cus that is hard to beat!! though i won't argue, glee is amazing, but liza was just absolutely phenomonal!

[Laugharamallama]

I don't think it's fair to compare them to Ruthie Henshall. She has a totally different range of voice. It's obvious she's singing in a different key. Singing high notes doesn't automatically equal better singing. There are plenty of alto's who are much better than sopranos and vice versa. Therefore it's not right to compare them when they're two different kinds of voices.

[springandastorm]

@Laugharamallama She's actually singing in the same key Liza sang in the movie...

[markbob120]

She can't hold LIza's jock strap on this one. Liza rules!

[RicASpur]

Its ok, but it is no Liza with a Z !

[snowwhitequeenofice]

She sang this this morning you have to be in the room with her to enjoy it at full!

[Godwindaughter]

Sorry this is terrible. Obviously a great voice. But there is no soul to what she is singing. She has not touched on the character who sings this song in the brilliant Cabaret musical. She's just belting which she can obviously do well. So wel done to her for that.

[jemb2000]

This song is not being performed in the context of the musical Cabaret. Ruthie Henshall is clearly not trying to play Sally Bowles...

And actually, Maybe This Time is not from the original Cabaret (the stage musical). It was originally given to Liza Minnelli for one of her solo albums and then it was put into the film

[judesarama]

good but no LIZA

[akurokulover101]

She's alright. Liza Minelli and Natasha Richardson did a much better job.

[777Thinking]

She is Shirley Bassey incarnate. Gorgeous! Tyler Lord Hamilton

[rosethorn18]

I personally prefer Liza, but hers is very good too.

[pontcarmel]

i feel more emtion from her than Liza.... sorry folks. It a beautiful song. It really hard to mess it up.

[RAY2424]

No offense but I htink it's cold, no emotion. Catch Liza live even now and you'll understand what we mean

[monaca35]

I think it's the best performance of "Maybe This Time" ever... Ruthie rocks!

[mimikittie]

Great, amazing, powerful voice, but the performance isn't 'beautiful'. It's honestly just not that pleasing to listen to. Maybe I'm biased cuz I love Liza.

[karmincacic]

well, she's very talented and well-trained.

the song is great, and the performance too, but i think there is too much tremolo.

but except this, her throat is magic!

[LittleMissRachie]

I love her version of this song.

"its gonna happen, happen sometime" oooh i adore that bit! XD

Ruthie Henshall is wonderful!

[CocaColaQueenBee]

She has a great voice agreed, but somehow I just don't like what she's done to the song..

[Nuca22]

uhh.....

[lembeeno]

allaboutashleigh,

she has alot of "it" and she shits and pisses magic in every one of her damn performances!

stupid ass piece of unmagical Shit!

[AllAboutAshleigh]

Technically it's a good performance but she doesn't have "it." No magic whatsoever!

[rezhear]

what a voice!

[Anika21889]

she has a great voice but to be honest...her performance sounds forced.

sorry but i personally don't like it

[Fayeadinda]

i didnt know that this song "belonged" to liza. theres different ways to sing the song. i think this one is beautiful, it not about who is better that the other. + she's not putting many emotions in it because she's not playing a/the character.

[bushido63]

Liza's rendition is far superior to this poor attempt.

[sally1112]

Some people like this sort of thing.

[imgayuc]

4shame ruthie is great but liza is a legend

[buyinghell]

Love it!

[lecopop]

liza's performance of 'maybe this time' is unique. all the others are re-interpretations. liza minnelli's sally bowles.

[owenboi66]

Well Liza isn't singing anymore, so let's give three cheers for Ruthie! She gives me goosbumps.

[freeadmission]

Except for the fact that Susan Egan blows Liza out of the water in this role, you're totally right.

[WickedElphaba247]

I love Ruthie but I love Liza more and I think Ruthie is trying to sound like Liza too much...she needs to be herself more

xxx

[CuriositysCat]

I love this song, and I think this verseion is wonderful. That woman has a pretty damn powerful voice, very good with emotion.

AWESOME job!

<3

[eoin84]

Most definitely the best version of this, and probably the best voice at the moment as well!

[IsntSheDivine]

dont mess around with liza's songs...you'll never win!

[Knockerz89]

'The transition between "bound to begin" and "it's gonna happen"...UNREAL.'

Totally agree, UNREAL! Its like she doesnt need or stop to breathe, how is it possible she sang that so powerfully and amazing i do not know! Just breahtaking! she is breathtaking! <3

[davidtblake78]

The transition between "bound to begin" and "it's gonna happen"...UNREAL. This is a woman who truly knows how to spin her voice. Awesome.

[Knockerz89]

One of my fav songs and performances that she has done. Blow's me away everytime i see it! And she looks so perty, i love her hair and dress xxx GO RUTHIE WHOOO! *rock on*

[ICEcreamAssassin78]

i think apples are better than oranges because..

please liza is liza and ruthie's take on the song was amazing..

[cian10]

Ruthie singing it to high as if it was opera. She crap rather the original by liza

[ruthiexfan]

shut up!!

[ruthiexfan]

i absolutly adore ruthie henshall she has such feeling in her song plus she is drop dead gorgeous!! go ruthie u rock xx p.s. i love you!

[Gregg30]

She's good.

[BarbraGirl]

I like Liza Minnelli's version better. Ruthie has a kind of a nasal voice...

[ruthiexfan]

wateva shes completely the best!

[elphieTMoLM]

i love her belting! She was the first Fantine i heard and now anyother one sounds weird to me. She has one of the best voices out there. [btw, does anyone have a video of her husband, Tim Hower, singing "your eyes" in RENT? cuz it was stunning]

[cleverboi2]

Finally, this song performed the RIGHT way :) I love her version!

[watdahek777]

gotta love me some ruthie! thanks for sharing!

[squidgypoo]

Absolutely stunning - what a performance, ty so much for posting this.

[2006thomas]

Ruthie Henshall rocks my world! x

[Gr8tWhiteWay]

Ruthie seriously is unbeatable. As I don't live in the UK I never got to see this and am desperately wishing I could get a hold of this production from the BBC. Any chance you could post whole versions of the songs instead of just partial clips (but thanks ever so much for posting these now)?

[PaigeByPaige]

Ruthie is so marvellous. This is the best version of "Maybe This Time" I have ever heard!

[xthexshadowsxpurrx]

she sucks ass! OFF WITH HER HEAD!!!

[AmyRoseXOXO]

LOL

[polarqueen]

Ruthie's voice is one of my top 3 faves in the world! Awesome!

[goober1632]

Why hasn't Ruthie played Sally Bowles yet? I was sure they were going to ask her to do it in NYC when she was here

and for that matter why hasn't she played

Eliza Doolittle

Rose Vibert (Aspects of Love)

and i was sad they didn't consider her for Mary Poppins

[robman06]

Ruthie can do no wrong

[JRybka]

I wish I could get a copy of this show from BBC

[wwjjl]

I love her and I need to see her more!

[AngelsHell]

She's amazing.

[bonsterthemonster]

i love ruthie henshall!<3

[mogwai4000]

Oh I remember watching this on tv. The Sound of Musicals, wasn't it? Excellent series. Excellent singer.

[cserannie]

she is a wonder!!!

[2006thomas]

She is fantastic. Unbeatable.

[BoysDontCry66]

Excellent intepretation
