This song gives Alto's some of their integrity back! :) TAKE THAT SAPRANOS!

[XDancethrulifeX]

@kalinzxgor3 Oh if only you could spell sopranos...I do agree though, this song if a very good alto song. I am studying theatre and dance. I can sing alto, mezzo soprano/belter and soprano. There are quite a few great alto songs out there if you care enough to track them down. Some examples are I Don't Know how to Love him from Jesus Christ Superstar, I'm not that Girl from Wicked, Honey Bun from South Pacific. I could go on but I only have 500 characters to do this in.

[CarbonatedRain]

Incredible, I get so emotional listening to this!

[claraakane]

i really really love the way the song is sung here. it's pure enjoyment to the ears!

She is my mates mum. Sonia works at my school.

[Shelbysanicename]

She may have better tone quality, power in her belt, etc, but it seems as though it is just a powerful voice singing a song, not a realistic or relatable emotion being conveyed. I like a Nancy that puts the words of the song to work before her vibratto.

[Braenn42]

It sounds awsome. A way better than Jodie Prenger, sorry people

[jaskirankainth1]

she is my school teacher

This is Sonia Swaby, who played "Nancy" in Cameron Mackintosh's first production of the current London revival, which played at the Palladium from 1994-1998. Sonia played "Nancy" in 1997-1998. Ruthie Henshall played "Nancy" in 1996. Sally Dexter was the original "Nancy" in this production. Swaby performed the role on tour as well.

never really thought sonia looked right for nancy but by hell can she sing this song well!!!!! brilliant.....still better as grizabella in cats though.

[confuciusjonny]

Agreed. I've never, ever heard this song sung better.

[Jiyin92]

hey mr. producer is a great buy. i spend hours watching it over and over again. incredible performances and performers. the performance of "as long as he needs me" by sonia swaby is my personal favorite performance. (: also, if you like, check out the performance of "being alive" by bernadette peters. it blew me away.

[IdolsDemiSelena]

Sonia is one of mine and my mum's best friends!!! My mum works with her in a school!! She's soooooooooo nice and lovely!!!

[fountainchain126]

[MisaCantada]

The best interpretation by far! Bravo! I wish they show the video footage and this so you can see truly how she interpret the song!!!

[patsyscorpion]

Jodie Prenger is awesome!

[LikeToTryToBeGood]

This is not Jodie Prenger!

The song is by SONIA SWABY, one of the 1996 Nancy's, i guess!

[IlovePOTO3]

@LikeToTryToBeGood YER what the hell! IT even says so at the top! Sonia is better than Jodie in my opinion

[lesmisluver]

[JeremiVW]

The best version I've heard of this song.
