As If We Never Said Goodbye - various bridge line versions

[UnionToko]

Regine Velasquez doesnt know her own song !!!

( i say... she needs to do her research seriously !!! )

Lani Misalucha delivered the message the clearest & most powerful !!!

Thanks for uploading & sharing this wonderful video !!!

JESUS LOVES YOU !!!

Just heard Chris Colfey sing it in "Glee" -- simply heartbreakingly beautiful.

[emlodik]

@lioniella Shut your mouth, you stupid bitch.

[thestar13]

GLenn Close ALWAYS wins for me, there is just something about her incredible acting that beats out all the other pretty voices for me

[stevesg92]

No one sounds as beautiful as Barbra live... number one!!

[khanniify]

Dame Shirley Bassey wins this one, followed closely by Elaine. I also really liked Lea Salonga. Excellent performances, thanks for sharing this.

[angelcarnivore]

Awesome! They're all amazing, I love this part. My favorite version of the lyrics is "Now I'm standing center stage; I've come home at last." which is so HARD to find. I had it on a cassette of ALW music as a child.

[angelcarnivore]

Awesome! They're all amazing, I love this part. My favorite version of the lyrics is "I've come home at last."

[lumiere85]

Glenn. She remembers this is a character and is actually acting. As for Shirley and rest, they are performing a song and not a part, so its very difficult to judge them.

[reignraven]

Filipina Singer all the way!

and Barbra version is my favorite

[eoin68]

barbra streisand

[Rocketjay12]

Although I've heard many of these versions before and loved them all, Shirley Bassey is just phenomenal! And aside from her amazing voice the woman is an ageless beauty!

[darreyl102]

Elaine, Simone, Dame Bassey and Glenn- But it is really hard to choose as ALL of them are Incredible performers in their own rights and all sound Amazing Too,

[MrMusicstone]

Bassey WINS, most powerful voice ive ever heard. Its either Bassey or Lupone (because Lupone rules)

[bonbonquest]

@MrMusicstone so you actually noticed how she's actually included in the video? cool...

[bonbonquest]

@MrMusicstone My GOSH! you must be blind.. she's the first one featured in this video!!!

[wm4bmtop]

Some fun clips, thanks for posting. One great one you missed - the best I think - is Diahann Carroll who starred in the Toronto Broadway production and was the first (maybe only) Black Norma. STUNNING performance in every way, we loved her.

[galmbv]

Definitely Elaine Paige is the best!

[selsar]

all the other artists are great, they have very strong voices, but in my opinion barbra tops them all. her other performance on the concert tour in anaheim is much much better than this one, this was the beginning of the tour and the other performance was at the end so there's a huge difference btw. the two performances.

[mikesterSTLMO]

Wow this is tough, but I think the

'broadway' version sung in character belongs to Elaine Page; the contemporary version to Streisand.

[01MrMe]

Glenn Close is the greatest star of them all!

[jdfi1980]

You ought to have included Betty Buckley - Elaine is the clear winner out of the selection you have chosen, but if Betty was in then pos a draw. Then theres the current London Norma, Kathryn Evans.

A good Glenn Close vid - does anyone have a link to the full version of this? Very different to her original case recording.

Shirley Bassey does perhaps the most drag-queen like performance ever.

The slur on "last" as done by Simone, Barbara, Lea, Regine and Lana doesn't do the song any favours.

[wdkaty]

I have to stay true to my favorite barbra wins for me. Barbra's intro says it all regarded as one of the best artists in the world. know one sings it like her

[SidFortune]

This a a super-cool montage. All these canaries can soar wonderfully thoough their own special souls. a Ten for the producer and a Ten for each singer.

[kcgap69]

No Betty Buckley - any reason why?

[bonbonquest]

I didn't find any vid of her when I made this...

[ravan729]

OMG Renee Velasquez (sp) looks like Nathan Lane in drag in The Birdcage

[reignraven]

@ravan729 huh? whos nathan lane?

[fandodo223]

elaine wins this one,I love

[bonbonquest]

Yes, she does! I totally agree... with her powerful "I've come home at last," nothing could beat her here...

[lumiere85]

The only problem with all of this, THE ACTING. Glenn hands down. Elaine. 2nd. Singing, Elaine. I saw her on Broadway and she is Amazing. Missing Hellen from Germany (possibly the only sctress to better Glenn) and Deb Byrnes from Australia. Her With One Look is the best.

[davidjohncooke1]

Great video but Betty Buckley does a really good version of this song too. Barbra, Elaine and Shirley always blow me away with this song!

[stan39520]

WOW Glenn Close was a distant 2nd to everyone! Does anybody have a video of the play Sunset Blvd

[Rosannasfriend]

@stan39520 Glenn actually sings this better at another event. Her version there is probably my favorite along with Shirley Bassey's.

[Rocketjay12]

Watch the entire Simone Kleinsma version on here. She is amazing! I'd love to see her performance.

[laluponeista88]

Patti wins.

[ChrisStockslager]

PATTI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[julie438]

I love both Elaine and Patti, but Elaine wins this one. LOVE.

[bonbonquest]

Yes, I totally agree with you. I do love them both but I personally believe Elaine takes this trophy home.

[streisandlover13]

Simone, Barbra, Shirley. my all-time favorites. I'm in love :D

[ghiberti]

Among the Filipino's Lani did the best job on this song because she sounded soulful and her timbre is comparable to barbra, shirley and even patti.

[fvassy]

Elaine! Elaine! Elaine! :)

[bonbonquest]

yes!yes!yes! weeeee!

[simonek123]

Simone Kleinsma will be Norma Desmond in Holland this year (2008/2009). Simone is amazing as you can see. If you watch a few of my video's you'll see why she is so amazing. Her voice is so great!

But Elaine Paige is amazing too! She did so much musicals, all amazing! (I like her performance: memory, cats)

[judith0892]

Simone Kleinsma!!!

[drench78]

love shirley and lani'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
