Posted by Steve under Music I'm Listening To[4] Comments
Among many other awards and accolades for this California native is this one, quoting from Wikipedia:
“[Sara] Bareilles received acclaim for her portrayal of Mary Magdalene in NBC’s adaptation of a classic Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice rock opera, Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, for which she was nominated for the 2018 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie.”

Wow, Steve. Incredible.
And as I’ve often suspected, Elton John interpretations don’t do many of Bernie Taupin’s lyrics any favors.
This woman is, I think, a major talent.

Yes, I agree. I heard things in this song when she sang it that I’d never realized were there before.

Double wow, amazing. Whole arraignment with orchestra was beautiful.
Was in the library last week and checked out her new CD, haven’t listened to it yet, better get on the ball, she is a incredible.

Since getting a wide screen monitor to use with my laptop, I’ve been watching a lot more music videos on YouTube than I have listening to CDs. I never used to care aboiut it, one way or the other, but now I love watching performers performing live. Seeing Sara Bareilles reach some of notes she does in this video gave me chills.
I should also note that I woke up this morning and couldn’t get the lyrics out of my head for quite a while.
