    There's a story that actor Van Heflin and his wife attended a party where Judy Garland also was. At some point, late in the night, Garland was persuaded to sing and she just went on singing for the rest of the party. Heflin's wife kept reminding him that they had to leave because he had an early call, but he was transfixed and refused to leave. All the way home, she said, he just kept commenting about the wonder of that night, saying that you only get to experience a night like that once.

    for me, this is the best performance of the song .. ever. Just Garland didn’t just “sing” .. she gave life to every lyric, note & melody. This particular performance moves me to this day because of the way she lights up and smiles as the song comes to a close.

    Command Performance was a 1940s radio show where US servicemen (during WWII)--perhaps stationed far from home--could write in and request a song they wanted to hear. That's why the video shows radio towers and names of places where soldiers were. Her particular take on the song here is undoubtedly about this as well--not a young girl yearning in a barnyard--but singing to thousands, millions during a terrible war. Enjoyed your appreciation of her performance!

    This video proves that there was no other singer with the voice, singing range, emotion, and all-over talent as Judy Garland. It's too bad that her life ended long before it should have.

    Thanks for sharing. Lovely to see younger people appreciating music from this era. Judy worked tirelessly to entertain the troops in WW2 and this filmed radio show is just an example of that. The vibrato in her voice was natural but she controlled it well and used it to great effect. A true entertainment icon. By the way, the list of place names in the middle of the video is illustrating where the radio show is broadcast to for the troops.

    Note: Judy Garland never sang any song exactly the same way twice; she was a true artist and always sang from her heart and soul in the spirit of the moment. Btw, it would make no sense for a girl in a barnyard to sing full voice as if she were on a stage.

    These were performances for the military serving in WW2 (1943) and the names of those regions of the world were showing where this was being sent to via recordings. All those places were where US military were involved in battles. Also since the lyrics reflect a longing to be in a better location, that spoke directly to soldiers, so she sang the song more dramatically and sadly, than in the film several years earlier, where her thoughts were more dreamy and of a young person just wishing for a nicer life.

    Judy Garland’s original version of this has never been surpassed. Her voice was unique and the emotion and pain in her voice, at 14 yrs old, moves you like no one has been able to since. Eva Cassidy is the only one who came close.

    A fabulous vocalist. It's unfortunate that the movie studios were responsible for getting her hooked on amphetamines. They wanted her to film at their pace and schedule, not by her true abilities. Ruined her life and she died way too soon from drug/alcohol abuse. I'm glad reactors are watching her so she isn't forgotten. If you do film reactions, "Meet Me In St. Louis" (1944) is one of her best.
