Barbar Dickson one humble lady who has a massive talent...the voice speaks for itself a million times over....i cannot think of another vocal as pure and uplifitng as Barbara even today ....who matches this..tell me....Barabara Dickson is a unsung legend in my eyes..
In the build up to his 'An Evening With Willy Russell at the Lowry, Willy Russell has given an interview to WHAT'S ON STAGE.COM in which he talks about BLOOD BROTHERS… The Movie, Liverpool and the capital of culture celebrations, his love of Slava’s Snow Show and his future plans, including his forthcoming date in Manchester.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
I cant believe you people, irrespective of awards, barbara is iconic to this production. in liverpool she is a heroine, trust me, if its not barbara its a second rate BB production

And since you are so on your soap box of rocket science and nickpicky...Has MS. DIXON ever written her own song, sang it, sold millions world wide, won a grammy and began a wholde movement of a decade with any of her talent...not that she doesn't have any talent...but get real! When she does, come back and we can have a legitimate conversation about Helen Reddy and rocket science! LOL All in good humor and perspective!
@gbcvn Well, no, she hasn't won a Grammy, granted, but she's done rather better than that. She's won TWO Olivier awards and received an OBE from Her Majesty the Queen for Services to Music and Drama as well as selling millions of records worldwide. That's the trouble about the US - it's so parochial. Oh and if you truly believe that Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman" was responsible for the 'women's lib' movement in the 70s then you probably think "Rocket Man" gave NASA the idea for the Mars Landings...
I saw Barbara as Mrs Jones in Blood Brothers 15 years ago , when she sang this the hairs on the back of my neck stood to attention , after all this time they still do fabulous song from tearjerking heartbreaking show , INC\REDIBLE PERFORMANCE :)
Barbara Dickenson half Liverpudian or not does a fine performance. Willy Russell himself asked Helen to play the role more than once. She turned it down a few times and finally accepted...And the Australian Helen Reddy performs a stunning version. No slight to Barbara I just happen to think Helen Reddy does a spectacular performance on this song!
@MaliceMaid I've seen it three times 1995 Liverpool 2002 London 2009 Liverpool and it just gets more emotional said don't worry you're not the only one ! if I get the chance to go again I will . I live just outside of Liverpool and now 65 probably connect with everything that's going on .
She has a lovely voice, but it's a strange performance. No emotion whatsoever.
Until the end of the song, I had no idea there was an audience. It looks like she picked a spot, focused on it and never made eye contact with the audience. I though her shoes were nailed to the floor, but she moved her feet at the end.
Petula's voice is not as strong, but her performance of this song is very moving. One really believes she was just told that her sons are dead.
All the squabling over who sing it the best PLEASE! Dickson did a great job. Helen Reddy does an outstanding job...They are two completely different stles. One of the thing I love about Helen, she sounds like know one else. Technicly Helen is outstanding...so I give those their opinion that don't like her unique sound However, Write a song, sing it and record it, sell millions of records, win an grammy, define an era...Then come back to me and we can debate Helen Reddy talent!
This song is known in Liverpool as 'The Barbara Dickson Anthem'. Half Liverpudlian, she was chosen by Willy Russell to create the character of Mrs J and she won an Olivier Award for her performance. I saw her on opening night in London in 1983 in the original Liverpool production (which was much darker and edgier than the current anaemic Kenright London production) She has never been bettered.
Omg, my school's doing a production on Blood Brothers and I'm singing this for audition, and this woman is so amazing! I feel bad though, lol. I can't top that.
The astounding vocal genius of Barbara Dixon and a wonderfully emotional song beautifully written and delivered. All things considered, a perfect 3 minutes 22 seconds of music.
amazing song.. but the vocal from her isn't half as good as other women who have played the part. She misses out a lot of the higher notes in this, which I think removes any colour, emotion and depth to the performance and the song.
As a Scouser .. i have to say there is no musical/play in the world which has the same feeling of emotion as Blood Brothers when its played in the Liverpool Empire Theater ... its simply beyond belief .. highly recommend it to anyone
@djduchesse: I hated the musical when I bought the tape back in the day, but when I took my partner to see his favorite musical in the world, I was a blubbering baby by the end and had to meet the lead characters after. I was so moved, I couldn't believe it.
@maeganla, think it's mostly rebecca storm, she's been playin that role on and off for about 20 years. still was last time i saw it anyway, about 3 years ago. westend that is.
i have to admitt i saw the show in london many years back with the late great stephanie lawrance in 1992 she was amazing. i can't comment on other actresses except fr bernnie and lind nolan in the tourinf productions,
but miss lawrance u were amazing and a true star xxx RIP
We found out this Spring that we were doing Blood Brothers this Fall. We had tryouts on the first. I just found out that I got the lead! I'll be playing Mrs. Johnstone! I'm soooo excited! I love this show!!!
This is the best musical in the world and the reprise of this song at the end is the most powerful ending to a play I have ever seen! Really beautiful!!!
Saw Blood Brothers in Sydney in '89 with Chrissy Amphlette & Russell Crowe. One of the best musicals ever and Chrissy's performance was superlative. Makes me teary-eyed just hearing the music again.
cried when i saw it. was sitting beside my cousin who was wearing a white jumper so he was easy to pick out in the crowd so it was like they were acting for us and it made it more real
I went to see this musical (Blood Brothers) two years ago for a GCSE Drama and everytime i hear this song it make me emotional :'(...Truely the best musical ever...and great song.
Barbara Dickson has a great voice and its true this song was written with her in mind. A musical based in liverpool sung wonderfully my a glasweigan canny beat it :D

Sorry rightmoment. Babs is dullsville and only had a hit because of Tim Rice and Elaine. She is not on the world stage, however you love her and that is all that matters. Shirley has sold a bit of glamour and underneath the tinsel, has an amazing voice and real emotion, overblown or not. Helen Reddy was the top selling female vocalist in the world for several years, won several Grammy's and was nominated for an Oscar for a song. Try and avoid the country stuff and there is an amazing voice.
Well you missed the point 3373157as I am commenting on this song clip from TV not the stage performance. Helen may be a dreary actress, and lets not mention Airport 75 and the nun outfit, but she can sing, and quite a bit better than Barbara. Petula does this song with some genuine emotion but her voice is a touch wobbly at 75. I expect Shirley Bassey would whoosh them all off the stage in one breath. Now there's a star.
Hilarious thought - Shirley does Mrs Johnstone. I love her too, but I don't get that you don't rate Barbara Dickson. I saw her recently in concert and couldn't believe the power in her voice (and she's in her 60's)I'm not keen on the 70's pop stuff, but the folk stuff she has recently returned to, is amazing. Guess we just have different tastes.
Reddy sing better than than the truly great Barbara Dickson.??? Never in a million years! Dickson is world class - one of the greatest singers the UK has ever produced. And certainly a more interesting, subtle, intelligent and sophisticated artist AND musician than the absurd, overblown vulgar Shirley Bassey - who has wreaked havoc on countless great songs.
We Absolutely Love This Song, So Much Emotion And Feeling In The Words, We Went To Watch This At The Theartre We Couldnt Stop Crying, It Is Soo Moving!!
Pathetic comment. She's singiging this on a tv show and the song was written for her - the writer believing to this day that she was the definitive Mrs.J. Did you want her to come on to a tv show wearing an apron, covered in blood? As for Helen Reddy - please! One of the worst singers in the history of pop, who incidently also said that Dickson was the best Mrs. J.
Please, please...Listen to that other Scot Barbara Dickson. Sings better than any of those west end luvvies and her tone maybe like Susan Boyle's but there is no question as to who is the greatest singer. I can't understand this elaine paige thing - why does Susan Boyle want to sound like her when her fellow Scot has the better voice?
The woman this song was written for and still the best. This is what Susan Boyle should aspire to. Easily greater than Paige and closer in tone to Susan. Willie Russell (who wrote this song) says no one comes close to Dickson
I agree - Barabara dickson has a powerful and crystal clear beautiful tone to her voice - never heard anything like since - Caravan is just a stunning song too.
I have seen Petula Clark, Helen Reddy,Linda Nolan ( all great singers in their own fields ) in this show, but nobody carries this off like Barbara ( just my thoughts )
when i went to see this in london... well i me and my friends were sat by the door when that offer shot through it... i was laughing for ages until this song came on and i was in tearss...! it was an amazingg showw!:) Lovee Itt!:)
OMG, i love this song, weve done the play twice at my drama group cause it was such a hoot, lol. im playing Mrs.Lyons in the recent one....Ive seen it at plymouth, and those gun shots OMG i jumped out of my seat....love it :)
Last time i went to see blood brothers i was crying before the end scene, i started crying around light romance lol i felt like a right prat but it is the most perfect musical written in my opinion, sensational x
Remember when I was at school and we sang this, I also remember seeing Barbara Dixon in pantomime years ago at the pavilion in glasgow

I saw her recently in concert and couldn't believe the power in her voice (and she's in her 60's)I'm not keen on the 70's pop stuff, but the folk stuff she has recently returned to, is amazing. Guess we just have different tastes.

Reddy sing better than than the truly great Barbara Dickson.??? Never in a million years! Dickson is world class - one of the greatest singers the UK has ever produced. And certainly a more interesting, subtle, intelligent and sophisticated artist AND musician than the absurd, overblown vulgar Shirley Bassey - who has wreaked havoc on countless great songs.

Pathetic comment. She's singiging this on a tv show and the song was written for her - the writer believing to this day that she was the definitive Mrs.J. Did you want her to come on to a tv show wearing an apron, covered in blood? As for Helen Reddy - please! One of the worst singers in the history of pop, who incidently also said that Dickson was the best Mrs. J.

Please, please...Listen to that other Scot Barbara Dickson. Sings better than any of those west end luvvies and her tone maybe like Susan Boyle's but there is no question as to who is the greatest singer. I can't understand this elaine paige thing - why does Susan Boyle want to sound like her when her fellow Scot has the better voice?

The woman this song was written for and still the best. This is what Susan Boyle should aspire to. Easily greater than Paige and closer in tone to Susan. Willie Russell (who wrote this song) says no one comes close to Dickson

I agree - Barabara dickson has a powerful and crystal clear beautiful tone to her voice - never heard anything like since - Caravan is just a stunning song too.

I have seen Petula Clark, Helen Reddy,Linda Nolan ( all great singers in their own fields ) in this show, but nobody carries this off like Barbara ( just my thoughts )

I saw Blood Brothers today for the first time and I made sure I didn't know the story before I went and I was simply amazed.
It is THE best musical I've ever seen and I was crying hysterically at the ending.

I am playing the role of Micky in our am/dram version of the none musical version. It's a fun part to do but very tragic.
