WOW !!!!!!
You can talk Cher, Bette, Diane, Sandra, Julia, Shirley, Bette, Joan, or any of the greats. But none would ever come close to Meryl. My partner says she’s one of the last few remaining “method” actresses which he explains it by saying she actually lives the life of her characters as she’s doing each project. Simply elegant and so professional is mastering her craft.
She is by far one of if not the most talented person on earth. Is there anything she can’t do. When God was giving out talent she received more than any one person deserves. She never disapoints. I hope she never retires.
We can all agree that this woman is unparalleled as an actress, right? (I think only Katherine Hepburn and Bette Davis are in the same category.) But when I saw this movie for the first time, I was stunned at how well she could sing. And she doesn’t just “sing” this song, she freakin’ nails it.
THIS HAS BEEN MY VERY FAVORITE SONG SINCE I SAW THIS MOVIE OVER 15 YEARS AGO!! Been SO SO SO helpful to me as I recently went through breast cancer and I am MOVING ON WITH LIFE! Thanks SO MUCH for posting!
@auntypaulinko I can see a movie again a few times, but not over 100 times. No offense intended, but what would be the point? As they say, to each his own.
she is a force of nature
@meylina8 you can download this song with this program: a Tube Catcher XD
You must select the format MP3..is free XD
i must’ve seen this movie more than a hundred times…literally!!! watched it madly during the 90s…love this scene!!!
I’m saying this the most talanted wman in America! The creator put her here mainly to make all the rest of us fell better about being human. She has no peer.
$3 Sam
one person is officially retarded.
iTunes doesn’t even have this song in their library. sucks.
mery is fabulous her talent is amazing she can do anything Sooo good!!!
Great song from this 1990 movie with good casting.
I used to dislike Meryl Streep, until I saw her doing Carrie Fisher in the fine movie- and this superior singing performance! She´s no professional singer, but she´s producing a great show. And it does not feel like acting, either – she´s enjoying every little part of it. Other singers may have sung the song better, but Meryl sure has earned the prize! Wow!
i love 3:37
i hate you from mrjaydengale
i love this movie! this is one of my favortie parts! <3 Meryl
meryl might be a good actress, but reba is the queen of country, so needless to say her performance is far superior to this one. not trying to hate on meryl streep, just stating the obvious. if you like this you’ll love reba’s version, with her passionate performance and beautiful voice.
I love her voice.♥
fab? god! hahaha/ no, but anyway i luv meryl. just do.
Wonderful Meryl Streep!
Because of THIS performance I have bought the film on DVD just for watching it again and again… Thank you!
Meryl Streep is one of a very select few in this world that should have a one word resume!!
That word is GRAVITAS no more to be said
Love when Ms.Weezer giggles at 2:47….
it music is my life
it group is my life
dont go abba
cuando escuhe cantar a meryl quede atonito con tqn hermosa voz y concuerdo darkpaw que es mucho mas emocionantela voz de ella
Benny and Bjorn are the people to be adored for composing such amazing beautiful songs …. Singers are secondary and many singers can sing the songs well ….
i’d go lesbo for her
i agree this version is alot more emotional than the abba version, it’s beautiful.
Merryl , you are an extra ordinary talented artist in everyway you proved you can do everything love you
eda aster
amazing Meryl
i likle abba a lot..but this is so much better performance..with more emotions..not only vocal
she is the best….!!!
I love you…
touching. She still kreeps me out from her character in “the manchurian candidate” but I like her. This song reminds me of when I was a kid. Something about abba and my time in sweden… kind of miss it but not really either… weird feeling.
çok güzel bir aktrist bir o kadar da güzel bir kadın
The Devil not only wears Prada, but can also sing so wellt. Ms. Meryl Streep is so fuckin’ talented.
I LUFF HER
I really do not care if she had a good technique or if she should be considered as someone with a great voice at her age. If they wanted they could find a great singer with great voice and technique but they decided to go with Meryl Streep because no one can bring so much emotions to a song. I can not think anyone else who could bring so much emotions and still be so natural in a musical. I can’t say she is the best singer but she is the best actress (including musical acting)
@Greenberri16 That is not an “operatic” voice in Secret Service. I do agree that she is a brilliant actress and I don’t think she could have made it as a singer. She’s not bad, but her acting is infinitely better than her singing.
