I adore Elaine Paige's version too, but to say that Betty Buckley is incomparable is absolutely incorrect in my opinion. Betty gives the performance that plays the emotion on a subtle and realistic scale, ESPECIALLY in her tony performance. Elaine, although a superb singer, overacts the song and throws emotion at us on a beautiful but unrealistic scale. And to give Susan Boyle any merit as a contender for the performance of this song is just asinine.

both of these women put the soul into the song and bring it to life... Emotion beats a perfect note every time...
-
yes i admit she sang the song well but this song isnt just about singing the right notes the song is almost like a plea so it needs emotion which this woman im afraid (in my opinion) was empty

I cannot believe how good she is at this point in her life after going through a whole life of belting. Such well trained and disciplined talent.

@lite7761str Go watch Betty's Tony performance and be prepared to eat those words.

OMG it's amazing you are putting down the first to sing it on broadway, and so many years later she still does it justice, so please appreciate the great vocal talent
-
There are so many parts that I can't really hear her words here. Autumn Rae learned it off a Barbara Streisand video...but the words seems to be different depending on what video you watch???And now that she is starting with a voice coach the song is being cut by a minute... Anyone know what is up with that??
