Incredible. Takes 3 steps out and sings brilliantly. It's so on pitch and sounds so sweet. The orchestration is perfect. And the camera close up is stunning. Bravo~!!!
What I love about this version of hers, is that she's singing live, the camera is up close to her face from the lowest note to the highest note and you can see how extremely relaxed and pleasant she looks, high note or not...the real way of singing. Like all the greatest singers from Callas to Sutherland, Pavarotti and Julie, they all have amazingly pretty mouth posture, rounded, relaxed and a slight head-tilt back when the notes are higher. I bet they all did it mostly subconsciously, that's how good they were. These days pop stars sing a whole octave below and they look like its the end of their life. 1:59 min mark that smile!!
@@brandylou9132 yeah they spent years and years polishing their skills. Anyway, Julie was one of the few singers from england proper that was dubbed a primma donna even before the US even knew who she was.
Julie Andrews is just so talented and I cannot believe her singing voice she had when she was like 26 and 29 years old she also had when she was only 20.
Julie Andrews is obviously one of the queens in Broadway musicals. I hope she will make a comeback appearance to My Fair Lady with a new significant role: Mrs. Higgins, the mother of Professor Henry Higgins. I would like to hear Julie saying the line “Bravo, Eliza!”
@@andrewm5402 True but how wonderful to have seen her in "My Fair Lady". Fortunately Marnie (can't remember her last name) with that gorgeous voice dubbed Hepburn who actually wanted to do her own singing. Would have ruined the movie.
@@truthtriumphant yes! I knew it, just couldn'tthink of it at the moment. Thank you. I've listened to her interviews and beautiful voice for years. What a talented gracious lady. May she rest in peace.
Yep she probably could have handled the cockney accent better too. I love Audrey Hepburn, but that accent she did was almost as bad as Dick Van Dyke's in Mary Poppins.
It’s a tragedy, she lost her ability to sing in the 90s during a botched routine operation to remove a vocal cord polyp. She was still performing (beautifully) right up until until then

At 0:16 min mark, she sounds simply like a high quality bell. That color, clarity and power at 2:07 min mark. It sounds smooth, clean and so healthy. No need for mikes in your face, or artificial amplification, and other sound changes. Lets see if Adele, Gaga or the likes can attempt anything remotely as beautiful as this, in this key.
I maybe born in the wrong era! Yet I find so hard to believe this is Julie before Mary Poppins! Other than that, it’s one of my favorite songs in My Fair Lady!
The movie snub allowed her to be in Mary Poppins and essentially sweep award season. So all's well that ends well. It's a truth generally acknowledged that when you cast a musical, do it with people who can sing.
Could you share this section another clips?There were a Japanese actress named Shirley Yamaguchi sang a song in the same section .I hope to saw that part!
I preferred Audrey Hepburn as an actress and who had to look stunning at the Ball.....and by golly she certainly was! I don't think Julie Andrews, although chocolate-box pretty when young and made up, could hold a candle to Audrey Hepburn in that department though. And talking of scores, I much prefer Marni Nixon's singing. She was absolutely top notch for her precision of lip syncing, her cadence to sound like the actress she was dubbing and the majesty of voice. A truly wonderful singer in her own right and it attests to her professionalism and sheer talent that audiences still have to ask if the 'star' was singing or not. She sang for lots of other stars too, taking on their inflections of speech also. I know of one film in which she did sing and act under her own name; her acting as accomplished as her voice talent. Funnily enough, it starred Julie Andrews too - as the nun/nanny to the 'von Trapp' children in 'The Sound of Music'! Marni played a nun also and sang 'How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria' with other nuns in the courtyard of the Mother House convent. Marni was also a very good looking blonde! Grrr!😄
I saw her perform this live "My Fair Lady" on Broadway as a kid sitting front row center. She blew my mind. She still does.
apparently thats what everyone says. Its crazy what an intergenerational impact her voice and stage presence has had. A truely remarkable vocalist.
I ❤ Julie Andrews is still alive loved this.
Incredible. Takes 3 steps out and sings brilliantly. It's so on pitch and sounds so sweet. The orchestration is perfect. And the camera close up is stunning. Bravo~!!!
No one sings this song like her.
One of my Mother's favorite songs.
Brings back memories when I was years old.
One of the most beautiful voices of the 20th century! How lucky we are that these performances have survived.

The refined training to accomplish her skills is rarely done anymore
@@brandylou9132 yeah they spent years and years polishing their skills. Anyway, Julie was one of the few singers from england proper that was dubbed a primma donna even before the US even knew who she was.
my father always said she had the clearest, purist voice. her diction, tone, pitch, everything.
He was right!
As a millennial I wish I was born sooner to remember her having that kind of raw talent!
Julie Andrews ❤ loved this.
Julie Andrews is just so talented and I cannot believe her singing voice she had when she was like 26 and 29 years old she also had when she was only 20.
She was very young then, but yet Julie had a perfect pronounciation and later on her life she became a good writer. Love her!
Just WOW. She was just 20 years old. I can't believe it.
I remember that shocking feeling when I discovered her performance as Cinderella!
can u imagine how polished she sounds my goodness. She would go on to sing for many decades after this.

“Bravo, Eliza!”
What a voice... I Love her! Mary Poppins, Sound of Music... her resume is astounding!! Thank you for sharing! 💖
As a kid I remember being astounded by her newfound relevance in the 2000’s thanks to the Shrek sequels and Princess Diaries
@@manuelorozco7760 👌
Thanks for uploading this she is priceless and entertaining
BEAUTIFUL❤❤❤
Braaaaaavo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 💐
America before the decay.Brilliant.
Even though she didn't play her in the movie she still brought Mary poppins and Maria to life with her voice
And it was Mary Poppins that made me a fan of her
@@manuelorozco7760 both sound of music and mary poppins made me a fan of her as well
@@michaelvega6646 I make it a semi holiday viewing tradition to watch The Sound Of Music. But Mary Poppins was my first live action movie musical!
@@michaelvega6646 I watch the Sound of Music every other holiday season.
They dubbed Hepburn in the movie. Julie Andrews performed the same part on Broadway. They didn't choose her because she wasn't famous. What a loss.
But we gained Mary Poppins and Fraulein Maria - two incredible treasures.

I don't know anything about Andrews career or where she came from but there is no disputing the fact her voice is lovely and was made for the movies!

Like beautiful flower 🌼
I hope too
Beautiful song, sung by a remarkably talented Julie Andrews. Such a shame she was snubbed when it came to casting for the movie.
Luckily I’m a bigger fan of Mary Poppins than My Fair Lady
Espetáculo 👏👏👏👏
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
...gran cantante y actriz británica. Inolvidables en sus actuaciones en Mary Poppins y La Novicia Rebelde...
I've been singing this for decades... I had no idea where it came from or how long it had been around
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌹

It’s become a difficult task to do in this century. But in the end, Mary Poppins is what made me a fan of this legendary woman.
Big robbery that she didn't get the film version

She's like, 20 years old here. Can you imagine?
She wasn’t even 21 yet.
Yep. She looks quite a bit older to me though.
How old was she?
@@wh4193 She's 20 here, she turned 21 on Oct. 1 of that year.
@@jldthird Ooh I thought she would be really young
@@lonestarfriend Styles of the times - plus, she dressed decently (other than where Darling Lili's or SOB's plot called for it!).

Tiger Lillies version of this song
beats any previous version
Knowing that she is going to embarrass everyone else that sang this song.
