Patti LuPone singing "I Dreamed A Dream" from "Les Miserables" in some concert or other. I think this was originally posted by schizokid, but it went away so I put it back up.
Thank you Ms. Lupone, for putting your soul out there every time to move people. It's not easy to be open like that.You bring beauty and dignity and so much heart into every role. Sublime.
It's really not fair to compare her version to others. She made it the song it is today. She sings this with all the passion in the world as if there's nothing to it. That thing she does at 3:33 gets me everytime. She's just great.
@morebaileyskim Yes Patti was the original Fantine, which is why Ruth sang it a little differently. I cannot chose between them to me they bothy a world class.
This is Patti's song.... I agree....when I saw her in Les Mis. I cried for the whole first half totally inconsolable...no tissues with me and black mascara running all over my face...very embarrassin!!!
@MrHenTube why would you compare the two? susan boyle is just chasing her dream, like you and i. why shouldn't she? why shouldn't we...no matter what people say, or who they compare us to?
Patti is the greatest Evita ever. She is a legend and truly one of the greats. But I believe that this song doesn't suit her. Ruthie and Lea are much better on this song.
I am sorry but i have to disagree.. Her voice is beautifull but Gunilla Backman is unbeatable and it is the best performance I EVER seen.. and please stop the Susan Doyle mania.. You people wouldn't even know what Les Miserables is if you wouldn't have seen it on the crappy talent show..
