Streisand, Piaf, Bassey, Dion, Minelli sing for their audiences and we listen in awe. Garland comes and sits down besides you and holds your hand and sings for you alone. Her gift over all the others was the love she gave when she performed.
God, it doesn’t matter how many times I watch her slam her hands down with that last “as long as he needs me”, it always gives me chills.
Again I repeat: No wonder Frank Sinatra said - "Every time Judy Garland sang she died a little".
I feel so bad for Judy. She didn't make a dime off this show. Her manager stole all of it. She was on the verge of POVERTY towards the end of her life because of him.
Judy Garland could sing the Encyclopedia Britannica, including the footnotes, and still blow you away.
imaging being in that audience and experiencing THAT? At her peak, the greatest singer ever.
Judy does not act, she FEEls every note and word, with her genuine emotions,passion and pain. What an inspiring, spin CHILLING performance, from a subline DIVA, as always. You're a one off TRUE STAR. Blessings, encore, and BRAVO. x
Love Shani Wallis when she sang this for Oliver! Love her to death but Judy Garland 1 upped her on this one. Love Judy with All my Heart, She's my Favorite! Truly America's Sweetheart! Rest In Peace Sweet Angel ❤
Hold on to your hats.
And, in a few minutes, she owned this song: lock, stock & barrel. She did this
I saw her many years ago at the London Palladium, she came on in a tight fitting black dress and immediately got all the men, she walked to the edge of the stage, said 'These shoes are killing me' took them off and had all the women and then gave the most amazing performance that had the whole audience on its feet cheering!
"The rest of us will be forgotten; never Judy !" - once said Frank Sinatra
She came, she sang, she conquered.
The composer/lyricist of this song Lionel Bart said he imagined Judy singing every song he wrote as he was writing them. Looking at this video, I know why. Truly an amazing rendition, vocally and acting-wise. That look upward as the song changes key, her hands hitting down on the trunk at the end, the sheer power of her voice coupled with the power of her emotions--absolutely fantastic. There's never been anyone like her and never will be again. Wish Carnegie Hall had been filmed.
I'm numb, I can't move, my voice quivers, like I was nearly in a car wreck, that's the emotional slap I just felt listening to Judy sing this. Over 50 years she reached forward and touched me. No, she grabbed me. She made me hers. I'm shaking in the power of her voice. For a brief few moments she looks into the camera like she's singing to me, telling her story of dedication to her uncaring lover. Yes, Judy, We ALL need you.
God, what a magnificent talent - SOUL personified! Her voice is SO RICH here and the amount of feeling is staggering. She paid such a high price for her great talent. I hope wherever she is she knows the joy she still brings to us. A critic once said of her - After awhile, you don't really se or hear her; you simply FEEL her - right on!
Gene Kelly said Judy Garland was the greatest talent of the .20th century. Gene Kelly worked with all of them. I will take his word for it. In my opinion the greatest talent of the 20th century. She could sing, dance, act and everything else. And she had a vulnerability. You could not help but love her.
My God. No one will EVER possess the talent this woman had. As amazing as her singing was, her acting was even greater. And that seems hardly possible.
She’s in
Gosh her voice was magnificent
