As I see, Jane Powell always brought "smiling attentive expressive eyes" to the screen with a bird like voice so many people like. However being so versital as an actress in Musicals, acting, dancing, singing, she in film, sings in this combination. However, in her youth, the "Ave Maria" was sung on film, with what appears a deep faith of love, as the song included. And I see and hear, she kept this love in her heart, through each TH-cam film clip I have seen. We listen with a shared feeling of newly revived strength of reminiscence of heartfelt appreciation. As many Career Opera singers, together with many versatile talent as Jane Powell is as appreciated in the time I saw her petite figure on the television screen and because of how content seemed my own father who enjoyed movie and film, I try to reflect with a "try" but "amateur" manner, (thankfully, with a good ear and a good eye to watch these accomplished professionals of screen and television, now TH-cam, too), to sing song that may be out of reach for my own 'self-practiced' "training belief", during my own time; towards what she brought to the screen, a fine tuned long standing vocal talent of consistent life of the outerworld (to borrow a word, "outlander-outworlder"=sort of like a visiting citizen of the past and the future, presently) of what Music and song teach, a love to be alive.
May she rest in peace. She had lovely, light, clear lyric soprano voice . It would have been very suitable for some operatic roles. Delightful Jane Powell.
When TCM did the "TCM Remembers - Jane Powell" they left out her actually singing, where the viewing audience could hear her voice. Thank you for posting this video, I view it at Ms. Powell's rememberance, I needed to hear her sing to help with my saying goodbye.
Very Happy Birthday to my dearest Jane at 89 who always graced our screens with infectious youthful beauty and charm. Jane could sing any style with ease.
I VERY MUCH LIKE OLGA PERETYATKO BUT LISTENING TO JANE POWELL AGAIN, SHE WAS VERYYYYY GOOD AT SINGING. I HAVE SOME OF JANE POWELL MOVIES HERE AND I WATCH THEM SOMETIMES AND ENJOY HER SINGING A LOT.
Not sure what you mean here. Do you mean today's young have bad taste, or that they think the opposite, that the movie is stupid? I believe the first is correct. True art is not the vogue today, sad to say.
You could take this woman anywhere and she would impress. And to think immediately afterward they all teased her for being vegan and pressured her to eat red meat. 😅

The all singing, dancing and acting Jane Powell, she could do it all with such style and skill!

Absolutely magnificent voice
Very Happy Birthday to my dearest Jane at 89 who always graced our screens with infectious youthful beauty and charm. Jane could sing any style with ease.
There remains No talent & beauty in our world today, like Jane Powell.
Effortless..
i.e. Let me add this thought...............A TRUE LADY AND WONDERFUL SINGER., Her range with her voice was beautiful. Rest in Peace Jame!
14 beautiful years of Jane Powell singing on the silver screen
A lovely voice. Standards were much higher then. No replacements today. Howard Keel to Sinatra and so on and so on............
Jane Powell knew how to sing much better than the so-called coloraturas today
I VERY MUCH LIKE OLGA PERETYATKO BUT LISTENING TO JANE POWELL AGAIN, SHE WAS VERYYYYY GOOD AT SINGING. I HAVE SOME OF JANE POWELL MOVIES HERE AND I WATCH THEM SOMETIMES AND ENJOY HER SINGING A LOT.
That's nice, but why the caps?
Wonderful.
Well said! I would also rather hear Jane than Callas. Jane brings something to life in her listeners that is unmatched.
i love jane so much but i could listen to callas all day
Brilliant,
Jane Powell is so lovely.
RIP Jane
I love this!
She was a lWho said thaty she didnt have non operatic voice?
Imagine today's young movie goers paying for movies like this?

What movie is this?
I'm surprised she didn't have a French diction coach for this.
Do you know that for a fact, or are you just guessing?
You could take this woman anywhere and she would impress. And to think immediately afterward they all teased her for being vegan and pressured her to eat red meat. 😅
This operatic aria is not a good fit in this film ; listen to Jane singing “Love Can Change the Stars”.
