I'm going to post another "Why Does Everyone Have to Compare" comment, because I think it's entirely futile. Each actress to sing this in a major production approached it from a completely different place under different directors, while you can say you enjoy one better than the other, I lost interest a long time ago in trying to argue whom is better on any song. I happen to think they each are interesting and beautiful in their own right. Except that disco version Liza did, that's cray-cray.

@Crwthy Bernadette Peters and "over the top" can't be used in the same sentence, y'know.

Until I heard Bernadette Peters' rendition of this number recently, I'd never heard anyone other than Collins perform it and make it so hauntingly real. Collins delivers the pain and obsessiveness so incredibly, and makes it so emotional...

and Peters, once again, does another incredible song justice. Her version is, quite simply, shattering.

I like Bobby Short's version as well....

Glad you saw the show. Hope it influences you. What other posts haven't you replied to? You began this by replying to my post. What other vids have I left comments on?  Not aware of any.

[boynamedalexxx]

@greg1lewin I did see the Honors. You've left several comments on different videos I've commented on. Obviously, you feel the need to force your opinion on me. I'm not being condescending, you are. Sorry if my opinion doesn't match up with yours, but that doesn't make it "wrong". I haven't replied to your other posts, yet you responded to mine.

Did you see Barbara Cook on the Kennedy Center Honors? Everybody and his/her brother/sister got up to honor her. Meryl, Glenn, Patti, Audra, etc. It's in two parts on youtube. First part, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. Second part, anyone who's anyone on B'way, including B'way's reigning soprano, Audra MacDonald. This, young person, is singing. Don't mean to sound condescending, but I think you are too young to get that. But I have hope that you will.

@boynamedalexxx Bernadette Peters' rendition is unmusical, dramatically bizarre, and a vocal train wreck. Would that she had the musicality, vocal discipline and mastery of Ms. Collins.

@boynamedalexxx

Well, you wrong of course on both counts. Hope you saw the Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Ms. Cook and others. Everybody who was anybody in show business got on stage to honor her. Streep was gushing sitting next to her, too.

And wrong in that one can't state one's preferences. People should state their preferences. So, it is for me to say who, for me, is better.

Hope that's finally clear to you.

Why post a comment like this? The song is great. Leave it at that.

I don't know what you are all talking about, this was an absolute perfect and flawless performance.
