Linda Eder

Linda Eder was born prematurely while her family was vacationing in Tucson, Arizona on February 3rd, 1961. Born with an extreme talent and although she didn't have famous celebrity parents, she still is has one of the greatest voices ever introduced to the world. Often compared to Barbra Streisand , Linda doesn't really bring up Barbra as an inspiration. Linda has always said ever since she was a little girl that her biggest inspiration was, and still is Judy Garland.

With Linda being compared to Barbra, she eventually tried to get her own vocal style. She also can sometimes also be known as an Actress. Linda herself has said is her side job. She has sometimes had ti use the side job acting. She, on Broadway was in the musical Jekyll and Hyde . This inspired Linda to go into more Broadway things. In 2003 For example, she released a CD called Broadway, My Way .

Linda, today is most remembered for being on the popular show Star Search . She remained on the show for twelve weeks, he didn't lose to anybody. But she had to be kicked off of the show because she had been on it for too long.

Linda has been most active in the 1990s, and today in the present century. Although she was active before the 1990s, she really wasn't famous until the 1990s. For example, she released her first album entitled Linda Eder . The album is still in print today as of 2007.

Some other Albums Linda did later in her life were: And So Much More (1994), It's Time (1997) . And she later in 2005 wanted to honor her favorite star, Judy Garland by releasing the Album: By Myself The Songs Of Judy Garland . Out of Linda Eder Album's this would probably be the most famous one to date. Probably because out of all of the songs she's released, these have been the most famous. Attracting people familiar with the work.

Speaking of Linda doing work of other people, that is mostly what she has done while releasing new Albums. Doing music of icons. Their have been some Albums, like her first, that she had written the songs.

Linda today continues to have sold out Albums, concerts, and more. And remains one of the best.

This women is incredible. At 46 years old of age(same as my mom..ngehehe), she still got that marvelous voice nicely intact. I not really into Broadway kind of song...but some of the song Mrs.Eder sing are really catchy and nice to listen. For example, Man of La Mancha...in the middle of the song, she pulls out that tremendous high whistling notes that leave me awe. I listen to studio version and live performance...it sound almost equally the same...but that one particular notes soung more grand during live performance. This women really knows how to control her voice and it seems like she got alot of air when she sing. I never once saw her out of breath. That take alot of stomach work. She also perform every song almost flawlessly. It hard to hear any out of tune or wrong note even with she moving around the stage. (seriously i can't sing while walking around...it makes me sound incredibly bad) Ohh...there one song that became my fave. I just stumble this clip while browsing on youtube, the song call If I Had My Way. She sang it in PBS if not mistaken. The song were perform effortless and what really touch me is she sang it very passionately and she had a tear at the end of the song. Truely a great live performance.

Overall, Mrs.Eder had been gifted with a talent that only normal people can wish for. And also one of the greatest voice in music industry. Really hope to hear more news from Mrs.Eder.
