@Hijodelaisla I totally agree. I'm not really a fan of her as Fantine or Fosca, and I am not really feeling her in this song. I bet she was an awesome Desiree in every other way though, which kind of sounds like a backhanded compliment.

listen to the most beautifel version of zarah leander

It's hard to see LuPone as vulnerable.

If you really want to hear this song done well and unparalleled, then check out Sarah Vaughn's version of this song. It will make your toes tingle.

Sorry, Patti - I adore you, but you can't beat out Glynis Johns. (Your voice, however, remains flawless.)

I just have to put my two cents into the Patti vs. Bernadette argument. I do agree Bernadette owns this song, emotionally and vocally, however I have to say that it really gets to me when people say that Patti Lupone can not act. The woman is a Julliard graduate, and acts for the theater as she was trained. Therefore, a too-closeup version of Rose's Turn says nothing about her theatrical skills. Both women are brilliant in their own ways, and neck and neck in the business for good reason.

This song is very tricky, no matter how good singer you are because you can´t show off your voice with this number. This song has been made by dozens I'm a die hard fan of Lupone but it isn't her song, Shirley Bassey sang it too and I have the same emotion: all the singer can't sing all the songs, stick to what you do better. My faves are Streisand who can combine perfect voice, with phrasing and acting and Dame Judi Dench and probably my third vote goes to Barbara Cook.
