- This clip is from the 1997 Disney film production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. The song was actually written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart and was originally in "The Boys from Syracuse."
I don't own any rights to this video, but was disappointed to see that it was missing from TH-cam.
I love how this version of Cinderella adds so much more to the whole step family. Instead of being wicked and cold to Cinderella "just because", this song kind of makes it seem as though the stepmother is a heartbroken woman who doesn't want her daughters to experience the same thing (and who is maybe even jealous of Cinderella because she is still young and hopeful). The stepsisters are depicted in this as followers of their mother, not questioning her actions. #BravoBernadettePeters
I agree completely. I have never seen her do a bad job!! She's AMAZING!!!!!!!
Perfectly said. And honestly her point of view in their society is probably seen as right and not questioned. You can tell she still would love to have had that kind of life but she chooses to push it away knowing it wouldn't be possible for her, as if dreaming would only hurt her more and more thus she created a cold persona to deny emotions so could avoid feeling them.
So true!
I felt it more when Cate Blanchet was the stepmother two years ago in the recent Disney remake. Bernadette's interpretation didn't make me feel bad for her at all.
This whole production was amazing and I loved how Whitney took a color blind approach to her casting! I used to teach at an inner city school and had this movie on DVD and the rest of the staff had never even heard of it (and this was in Newark NJ near Whitney's home town of East Orange, NJ). I loaned to one of the teachers who showed it to her first graders and the 100% loved it and the subtle message of how families can be mixed race.
I actually liked the stepmother's dress, did anyone else?
She was a diva queen! I loved it!
her dress is gorgeous
+Odyssey Stewart
yes
Yes ! XD
+Odyssey Stewart Yes! I was so jealous of her when I was little lmao
Whitney Houston and Bernadette Peters MADE this movie, such vocal powerhouses.
I do prefer Whitney over Bernadette but you cannot compare them.
Manuel Orozco no one was comparing them in the first place.
I was just saying
ikr, Bernadette Peters is the only reason why I watched the movie in the first place. I really liked her character in Annie.
I KNOW! that was exactly what I was gonna say! Bernadette Peters did great doing the stepmother and Whitney Houston did pretty good doing the fairy godmother! Bernadette Peters is actually the best singer!! Falling In Love With Love was okay. I definitely enjoyed it but I love how brandy aka Cinderella paints her stepsisters’ toenails and fingernails. It’s strange how Bernadette Peters said “NOOOOOOOOOO!” When Cinderella fit the glass slipper. It’s strange how the shoe didn’t break. And isn’t it cute how the prince made Cinderella twirl ever so kindly?
This Version of Cinderella movie gets all 100% for everything. The songs, the costumes, the comedy, the acting, and everything!!!!! LOVE IT!!!! I watched this when I was a kid a million times!!!!! Till this day I still LOVE IT!!!!!!
+Amu BlackStar I like this version better because of the songs and the fact that Cinderella is a black princess.
Natasha Davies Oh yea that too!!! Brandy makes the perfect cinderella!!!
Amu BlackStar Plus, Whitney's version of Fairy Godmother is sassy.
Natasha Davies Yeah!!! I love her too!!!!
Same I wish I was able to find a dvd of it or something
This is an example of the villain being correct.
#ThanosDidNothingWrong
@@BenjaminWirtz sadly you are right
Wow, when I was younger I didn't appreciate how well she sang this song...she's really good
cdc88 I agree! My same thoughts for the prince. Now as an adult I realize just how Beautiful his voice is! ❤❤
100% agree. I grew up watching Annie (the 1982 version) and she is in that as one of the villains. She was also in the cartoon series Animaniacs as Rita the cat. If you want to see another good performance of hers, check out "Into the Woods" where she is the witch.
BREAKING NEWS: Natalie Deselle (Stepsister Minerva) just passed away. So heartbreaking. We all grew up with her performance. So feisty and sassy. What an incredible talent. RIP
R.I.P. TO HER AND WHITNEY
❤ 🌹😥
She was wonderful as the step sister..
@Ashley Smith Yes RIP for both of them, and thank them for leaving us this amazing musical legacy 🤗😊🤔😎
What?. Wow. RIP.
I didn't realize how LIT this song actually was until today!
MieKayla Singleton 😂
She was such a bad casting choice. How am I supposed to hate the evil step-mother when she's a wonderful, talented, beautiful, diva goddess like Bernadette Peters
I was almost VERY upset with your comment, until I finished! Lol. I was like, "how could someone think she's a bad casting choice?"
+Alicia Coburg I have to agree. As much as I think Bernadette Peters is awesome, especially that singing she just doesn't seem that despicable or wicked. I give her credit that she's trying, but something feels off about her being the step-mother.
Well, what I liked about how Bernadette Peters conveyed the role was how she made the stepmother so passive (more so) aggressive -- which is a true backstabbing/wicked trait in my opinion. I believe that degree of "wickedness" was more applicable for the plot, tone, and whole overlay of the movie! Too much would've taken away from the many, just as important, aspects of the movie. The boiling point where the stepmother annihilates Cinderella with her words, after she found out she went to the ball, was perfect! It was a beautiful dose of hatred in Peters' acting method!
But other than that, she SLAYED in that dress! Which, in my opinion, is a timeless piece! And her voice, my GOD!
I feel like she isn't actually wicked but what she's doing is. Obviously she's a very bitter woman I think the man who she's singing about is the stepsisters dad and he left her. Then I think after that she had a very twisted view of love but then found it again with Cinderellas dad. Then when he died she became completely heart broken but hid it. Both men who she loved betrayed her by leaving her and left her with daughters. I think the reason why she is so horrid to Cinderella is becouse every time she looks at her all she can see is a painful reminder of her dad. Whenever the step mother is being evil to Cinderella she does seem to feel bad but she hides it. I think she always has been a diva but now she's just become very bitter and twisted.
+Tommywentmad , I agree with you. She plays a great Evil Stepmother. Most evil people are bitter because of hurt in the past. She doesn't have to be nefarious. GREAT job!! Bernadette Peters!!!
Confession: I lowkey listen to this song everytime I get ready for something extravagant
This makes me smile
HER VOCALS ALWAYS BLEW ME AWAY AND I ADMIRED HER EVEN AS A CHILD
When she strutted out in that purple dress, I didn’t have the vocabulary at the time to say I was gagging, but I was indeed gagging, living for the drama of it all.
This song low key tells you why the step mom doesn't believe in love anymore. Turning her into a tragic character by using an UP BEAT song as to understand her actions, but not use it as a pass to her abusing Cinderella... Freaking GENIUS!
Bernadette Peters is a national treasure and a legend in every way. This woman slays every role she's given. I've always loved the Rodgers and Hammerstein version, but her being in this made it that much better
I prefer the OG with Julie Andrews. But this was my generation
R.I.P., Natalie Desselle-Reid.
I just noticed that she started the song live then they brought the recorded version in after the first line lol if you listen close you'll hear it at least that's what it sounds like lol, I loved her in this movie, my favorite version if Cinderella
+MKLuciouSTV I just noticed that too!! She did so well :D
RIP Natalie Desselle-Reid 😢😭
😢😭😭😭😭
oh no
oh no
oh no no no no no
(sry, this is just a song i sing when someone died)
😭😭😭😭
@@Gerard-Slay it is indeed very sad. I think it was cancer.
Queen Bernadette never disappoints! She is absolutely FLAWLESS! Julie Andrews is my queen in life, but Bernadette isn't far behind. Perfection!
Lauryn Brianna Two equally beautiful talents indeed
Calliope looks almost as old as her mother but I guess its not Veanne Cox fault that Bernadette Peters has figured out how to stop aging.
MsKekeChannel 😂😂😂😂😂😂 ur terrible
+Poetluver072 I think I got that reference.
+Poetluver072 Yep.
She looks older then her mother lol
omg legend
Meanwhile, next door...
"Greens, greens, and nothing but greens! Parsley, peppers, cabbages and celery..."
😂😂😂
lol yea!!!
Hahaha it fits do perfectly!
Asparagus, and, watercress, and fiddleferns, and lettuce!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
This song kind of makes you pity the stepmother a little bit. I think most of us know what it's like to have your heartbroken and you thought you found true love only to have your hope stomped on.
yep, been there before... TWICE. that is why i have given up on boys completely.
I love that the first line was sung live!
I noticed that too
I know and i was so perfect!
I never noticed that! Shes truly a gem. Thank you. :)
Didn't know until now. I thought all the music was playback as the cast was filming their songs.
I've always appreciated the addition of this song. Not only do we get to see Bernadette Peters sing, but it also gives the stepmother backstory.
With this song, we learn she's not merely evil, but bitter from heartbreak.
Being a child of the 90's, this is where I first fell in love with Bernadette Peters.
...
Glad to know I'm not the only one. :D
You didn't watch her on Animaniacs? (maybe that was before your time I was born in the early 80's so I watched her on the original Annie Movie from 82 and used to love her as Rita the cat!)
Bernadette Peters is ultimate camp here. Sublime performance
MY favorite Cinderella hands down💯👌
My favorite Cinderellas are actually the Disney animation and live action and the original Rogers and Hammerstein TV production that starred a young Julie Andrews. Seven years before she was Mary Poppins
My flavord cinderella's brandy this movie drew Barrymore ever after & Lilly James cinderella 2015.
ikr, i don't really like the disney one as much as this masterpiece.
Now that I'm older and listening to this I feel really sorry for the stepmother. She was just hurt and now she just believes love is stupid
"This isn't about love--it's about marriage!"~ she sounds like my mother.
This was my favorite song in the movie. And it sounds like the stepmother has a really interesting backstory that would have made an interesting prequel. Also, I could not hate her properly as the evil stepmother. She's too fabulous.
RIP Natalie Desselle.
"This isn't about love, its about marriage! Have I taught you girls nothing?"
Stepmother (Bernadette):
Falling in love with love is falling for make believe
Falling in love with love is playing a fool
Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust is just for children in school
I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see
I fell in love with love with love everlasting
But love fell out with me
Stepsisters:
Falling in love with love is falling for make believe
Falling in love with love is playing a fool
Stepmother (Bernadette):
Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy
Stepmother (Bernadetter) & Stepsisters:
Learning to trust is just for children in school
Stepmother (Bernadette):
I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see
Stepmother (Bernadette): Stepsisters:
I fell in love with love with love everlasting She fell in love with love with love everlasting
Stepmother (Bernadette):
But love fell out with me
the coldness and isolation towards Cinderella in the song always made me think it was shade towards her father. The stepmother make subtle references throughout the movie that she is obviously bitter towards him.
Gah! Really want the step-mother's dress! The whole ensemble is absolutely gorgeous!
I think a lot of the outfits are beautiful. I really want Cinderella's dress for my wedding. 😅
As a kid, I was absolutely in love with Bernadette Peters' blue ballgown. Not to mention her gorgeous voice.
The dress isn't blue, it's indigo
@@wesleyjenkins4267 it’s purple
She snatched my edges with this performance like she snatched those flowers 🤣🤣
If I ever seen this version of Cinderella I'm only watching it becuase of Bernadette peters being in it also her vocalizing in the middle of this song is freaking mindblowing its impressive how she's just this energetic woman of talent and personality
See it on Disney Plus
@@manuelorozco7760 I will hopefully get to see it on Disney plus hopefully being the key word
I fell in love... with Bernadette Peters voice when I saw this as a kid :)
The syllables in that fits the song. Good job you win
WHY IS THIS STILL NOT ON DISNEY PLUS😡!
They just announced its being added February 12th! I’m too excited!
@@Bunny-mw2lo Thanks for the news🙂
I actually watched it again with my mom and we both still love this movie lol!!!! XD
The orchestration and Bernadette’s voice just melts together so well.
This woman is ALMOST 70!!!! PERFECT!!!!!!!
And she still has some beauty. I'm here because Bernadette is reuniting with Victor Garber replacing Bette Milder and David Hyde Pierce in the Broadway revival of Hello Dolly.
This is my FAVOURITE SCENE from this movie! I used to watch this all the time when I was kid.
i love you bernadette you are the most beautiful woman!!!
I actually met her!!!!!!!!!! It was soo cool!! And she signed a poster for me! =D
oh her voice gives me chills!
I cannot describe how amazing she is it makes my brain overload
OMG!!!!! I LOVE Bernadette Peter and this movie as a kid! Didnt know she was in it until I saw it just now!!
Isnt it funny how you see something or someone and have no idea how they'll effect you in the future
She completely stole the show!
Freya McCullough The stepsisters steal the show
Great movie, always loved it!!😆😄
This song has been stuck in my head all day. I think I'll get my old VHS of it out and watch it. Love Bernadette's voice.
"Falling in Love with Love" is a show tune from the Rodgers and Hart musical The Boys from Syracuse (1938), where it was introduced by Muriel Angelus.
I watch this over and over. Peters is remarkable. I saw her on Broadway and she was phenominal.
my heart aches watching this rip queen
caring too much is such a dewy old fancy learning to trust is just for kids in school I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full I was unwise with eyes unable to see I fell in love with love ever lasting but love fell out with me.
So glad i have this on vhs omg
This movie came out the year I was born and I still randomly get these songs stuck in my head.
People can say what they want but she was kinda dropping straight facts tho lol.... maybe a bit extreme, but I think its important to not fall blindly in love. Have a reasonable amount of trust but trust yourself and your gut more, and always be prepared to do what's best for you.
Bernadette Peters nailed this song....as she does every song
Forever remembered song in 2021
Bernadette's dress ❤❤😍😍
This is my favorite version of this song! I love how Bernadette Peters has a different style then any other version I"ve heard
Miranda Shea
I'm going to see Bernadette Peters in concert next month when she comes to my city!
How was that?
Bernadette Peters! Even though she's an ass in this movie I still love her
I love her purple dress at the end
This was my favorite as a kid. I loved the attitude and elan the stepmother has in this song. But now, I can't help but sympathize with the woman. She almost seems like a tragic character. Makes you wonder what happened to her first husband =\
This song made me have a huge crush on her.
Bernadette's gown is just stunning, her hair adds to it! and her voice.... cream on the top
I've always loved her voice. Powerful!
Bernadette peters is a Broadway legend don’t get No better lol
I have never seen her on stage before
I LOVE THIS SONG to me its the best song in the whole movie
I love Bernadette Peter's dress always have
I can relate to this song so much i hate what love did to me now im older and fell in love and out of love you realise the villain wasn't wrong
after all these years I still want the stepmother's ballgown
Ever since watching into the woods and this movie I have been obsessed with Bernadette peters
I keep reading in the posts about how they saw this movie as a kid and feel in love Bernadette Peters. If you grew up watching Animanaics you also got to hear her amazing voice as Rita the Cat!
I actually didn’t know it was her voicing Rita
@@manuelorozco7760 She also voiced a character in Anastasia (I forget the name but she was like the cousin that that they had to meet first before being the Duchess)
@@littlesongbird1 She voiced Sophie. That I’ve known for quite a long time now
@@manuelorozco7760 Thanks. I couldn't remember her name. I just remember her character was kind of heavy set and I liked that because I feel too many female characters were made way too skinny.
When I was little and loved this movie, the stepmother was my favorite character.
You can't love somebody if you don't trust them first
A Rodgers & Hart song in a Rodgers & Hammerstein musical. Well, there's something you don't see every day.
Actually a Rodgers and Hart song (Mountain Greenery) WAS used as an instrumental number into the 1947 RogHamm musical Allegro (a box office flop)
John Lingard It was pretty much "Hey we cast Bernadette Peters so lets add a song because you can't just have her in a musical and not have her sing that would just be cruel."
Well no offense intended but the movie would have been better if the score was all Rogers and Hammerstein material instead of random stuff Rogers composed. The recent Broadway version of Cinderella used most of the music from this version as well as rare Rogers and Hammerstein songs.
My school's doing Cinderella this year, and I'm doing this song for the audition. :) Bernadette is definitely in my Top 10 people who have influenced me as a vocalist. Love love love her forever.
Me too! When they walked out I'm thinking, "Am I supposed to find their clothes over the top because I thinkI think they're lovely."
I love the costumes in this version and the fact that they added new songs. However, it will never replace my love for the Leslie Ann Warren version. That was the one I grew up with.
I prefer the original with Julie Andrews. But I grew up with this one
Girl, who hurt you?!
The only moment that I adore Bernadette Peters
I wish there was a love button because Bernadette Peters is AMAZING!!!
I love that Bernadette still looks so fabulous to this day! :)
I am on a Bernadette Peters binge right now. LOL!
Not falling in love with Bernadette Peters is impossible, she's incredible.
The stepmother def had a problem with love. You can just tell she was angry and she took it out on cinderella cuz cinderella kept talking about true love exists and stuff. And the stepmom wasn't having any of it.
Even when I was a child with no clue about Broadway and very limited internet access to look things up, I couldn't help but notice the lady that stood out with her voice and flair. I had no idea that in the Broadway realm she's basically Queen :v
smndat Well this was my first exposure to music written originally for the stage
Bernadette was my favorite in Annie and I was so excited when she was in this movie! When i was little, I thought Bernadette was the prettiest name ever!
i love this movie it's so awsome and there so many songs i know every one of them
I just realized that I've been obsessed with Bernadette since before I even had knowledge of the legend that is Bernadette! lol
anyone find this song kind of sad?
yes
iSpunkrandom no I love it it's kinda true. Can't fall in love with love you have to fall in love with the person
Hell yea and kind of shows thought process of most today
It's not sad, it's true.
I have this on my ipod! I love Bernadette Peters, and Cinderella was the movie that introduced me to her!
Interesting - the heroes sing Rodgers and Hammerstein, the villains sing Rodgers and Hart.
William Craig I actually would have enjoyed the movie even more than I actually did if it was all Rogers and Hammerstein since it is in the name.
Fabulous actress and singer! I will admit, I have a crush on Burnadette Peters ... and I'm 22.
The way gaga would eat this up...
Bernadette is an amazing singer actress! She makes me want to sing everyday:)
The Stepmother's dress...FABULOUS!
I love Bernadette she's so amazing
Bernadette Peters... Your Voice is AMAZING!!!!
