I personally prefer Dickson's version of this...but in all honesty when it comes down to it, it doesn't matter who is singing it as long as it gets the right message across and that is a womans heart break over her loss...i love the play so much
My mum played barbara dicksons music when i was little and i absolutley lover her music and her voice and i agree shes the best mrs johnstone, she made this music hers.
The original Mrs. J is still the best. Barbara Dickson is in a different class and that Susan Boyle woman should be aspiring to this kind of stuff instead of lesser singers.
Yeah i saw this in Novemeber Nicki Evans was fantastic.x
i thought the best character or actor was Mickey.x when he was addicted to his pills i thought he was amazing .x i was in the 2nd row so it was just soo amazing with his like facial expressions etc.x
you are right on the money. i have had the pleasure of seeing the show 3 times including two weeks ago with niki as mrs johnson. she was amazing. i agree that mickey was outstanding and when he played the addiction piece you could live the part through him. one of the best shows i have ever seen. two bad its not playing in canada. until we were in london in october 2008 i had never heard of the show. people who don't get to see or go to the show really miss out.
OMG i saw this lsat thursday.. for my drama GCSE.... with niki evans from xfactor2007... she was absolutly amazing..... i aint sin this woman perform live and i'm sure she's brilliant.... but bloody hell niki evans was absolutly AMAZING i mean it..... she has one of those voices tht gives u goosebumps!!! ... this is now one of my favourite musicals!! i loved it!!! ....... and NIKI was AMAZING so were they all..... loved ittttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!xxx
Vocally Barbara is much better than Linda Nolan - or Rebecca Storm - and she puts far more emotion into it. Willy Russell has said she was the finest Mrs Johnstone and he should know!
i love blood bothers so much! i have only seen it twice but i cried both times! i love playing the music! the only problem is there arnt many Blood Brothers videos on Youtube!

Not bad but check out my little sister Bethany Evans singing this. More power and soul than Barbara (sorry Barbara but it's true) and only 14 at the time.

Can't believe all the ranting about Mel C in Blood Brothers. No one can sing these songs like Dickson. After all these years, she's still the best.

Kenrew,
This brings back great memories of the Lyric
Theatre and "Blood Brothers"
A great performance from Barbara.
By the way - Who is Linda Nolan?

I'm the same. It's especially emotional for me, as I was taken into care at 6 months old, and this song makes me wonder how my own mother felt.
Barbara Dickson's voice is amazing, I love her version of the song, though when I saw Linda Nolan doing it I loved it too.
