No one, I mean no single person, living or dead, can hold a candle to Liza Minnelli’s interpretation of “New York, New York.” She is phenomenal and she is superlative.
She sang this better than anybody, Liza was a spectacular performer - I have to agree that this is the best version of it by Liza - even though I like her recorded soundtrack a lot this is delivered with incredible energy that somehow only Liza could muster -
Liza is an electrifying performer. She takes total command of the stage.Her movements dance steps great voice are totally professional ,she lights up the whole concert hall.I adore her.
I had the pleasure to see Liza perform in person in 1977 at the Stanley theater in downtown Pittsburgh. She performed on the same stage her mother performed a couple times in the past. Both ladies (Liza and Judy) were pure real talent that we will never see in our lifetimes again.
@mona2242 You've written this, referring to both Judy & Liza, in past tense, implying that they are both dead. While Judy Garland is, sadly, no longer with us....Liza is, very much, alive!! (Just in case you didn't know that!)😉
I have to disagree with you Mona! She was actually better than her mom! As she was described Pure Raw Talent! Her mother was a child star but as she grew older she lost her sparkle where Liza just shone!
@@annek1226 I suggest you watch the Born in A Trunk sequence from A Star is Born or listen to Judy at Carnegie Hall 1961.The Trolley Song in Meet me in St Louis was done in one take as was Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe in The Harvey Girls. Judy was never just a child star that lost her sparkle, research her and you may realise.
She was a great dancer too, when she was younger. Saw her live and met her some time in the '90s. What a woman, literally vibrating with energy (even off stage) and glowing with charisma xxx
Dynamic performance!! I had the pleasure of seeing her at Radio City!! These are the performances we never forget! There are no technological distractions on that stage! Just Liza singing her heart out as always! We need nothing else!! Its great to see what a well deserved standing ovation is all about!! Now, that's entertainment!!!
I know that she paid her dues, and she was lucky enough to have the background...but this woman had the talent...it came naturally, or seemed so..and that's the key! No fake nothing, just her!
Yeah, I feel it's such a spectacular delivery and phrasing that just was meant for this landmark song. Her gestures and inflections so uplifting without being overdone...natural... Beautiful, really...
Ella es tan perfecta lo canta con tantos amor, pasión, entrega, orgullosa disfruta de la canción, es una artista completa, es increíble Liza Minelli por siempre para siempre única, es una leyenda viviente, está mujer se merece todo porque es humilde, es sencilla sensibilidad a flor de piel, buena gente, los verdaderos artistas son así, por eso son grandes leyendas ❤️🥳🥂
Ths is the way it's done. Forget all that lady Gaga and Adele and Jennifer Lopez mediocracy. This is a personality and energy and one of the best voices ever with nothing other then instruments behind her and a microphone in her hand and she brings the house down. And this is pure magic.
Kitty Viveen I don’t know about Jennifer Lopez, but both Lady Gaga and Adele have written and performed blood stirring anthems that have audiences rising to their feet in appreciation. Taking nothing at all from Liza Minnelli, she is a brilliant performer, but there is room for other talent and it too deserves recognition.
@@ka8mk Audiences stand up for anything these days. Just out of habit. And these 3 that you mention ( and centainly Jennifer Lopez), have all the works behind them to make it sound great. Liza had all at birth. You can not compare. These days, if anyone can sing 3 notes in tune everyone thinks that they are a genius. Well, just listen to this. Put one piano behind her and Liza will make it happen. And maybe, just maybe Adele could do that. But certainly not the other 2 you mention.
Everytime I hear Liza sing - shivers go through my body - She is amazing and I cry for her and her mother - I wish they could of been born 20 years later so I could have had my life watching and listening to them both
Thank goodness for all the wonderful recordings we have to enjoy. Try and purchase The Judy Garland Show on DVD, it really does preserve her legacy in the most extraordinary way. As for the magical Liza, hopefully more and more of her filmed concerts will get released on modern physical media.
Magnificent!! Saw her in person in Atlanta in the 80's. She was utterly beautiful, in glorious voice and the hottest thing going. Love that girl!! Hope she's doing well and happy.
Written for Liza and preferred by the songwriters for Liza and sung correctly by Liza, according to them. Much more fun to watch Liza sing this live than Sinatra.
I only wish I could have been looking at both in person at their many concerts. But, wasn't able to. But I haven't missed any movies or music they performed. Many of their songs have touched and inspired me throughout my Life.
I had no idea that this was written for LiZa. I thought it was Frank's song. Bless Liza, I adore her, she taught me everything I know about being a female person.
Yes, it was written for Liza when she starred in the Movie Musical "New York, New York", co-starring Robert DeNiro, in 1977. Sinatra kind of adopted it as his own, when he recorded it and it became a hit. Liza, of course, always gracious, and would do anything for her "Uncle Frank", was just as pleased that he made it a hit.....
@@edrhubart8011 oh pleeeassse, I hate when someone likes one version and ignorantly says someone else 'murdered' the song. I like Liza's version better, but Frank did fine with it. Get over yourself
Wow, I love her radiant smile and exuberance!!! I never knew this was her song!!! I always thought it was Mr. Sinatra’s. I really love Liza’s version!!!
hahaha, she introduced in the film with same name, she starred with Robert DeNiro. Film was a flop, but the scene, and song live on. th-cam.com/video/ge7NiJuSpac/w-d-xo.html
Liza Minnelli is the original singer to sing this song, for the movie. She "owns" this song. I own the movie on DVD and on bluray. I saw the movie when first came out in the 1970s in the theater. I met Liza Minnelli at JF Kennedy airport in new york (! NY NY!! LOL) in 1983.
One person, one microphone, no ear piece, electrifying an entire theatre! There is only one Liza!
There is only one New York City and only one Liza Minnelli and America is lucky to have both.
No one, I mean no single person, living or dead, can hold a candle to Liza Minnelli’s interpretation of “New York, New York.” She is phenomenal and she is superlative.
Amen
Lady Gaga great too honey
@@kukuhsantoso5190 But not Liza, respectfully!
@@sailordog1414 but Liza absolutely adore her
@@catchison8671 qaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
She's got that special gift and we are blessed to see her.
That was the time when she was shining so bright. Full of energy and stage-presence. She deserves an EGOT.
Just like Judy, anything that Liza did was a winner.!
She sang this better than anybody, Liza was a spectacular performer - I have to agree that this is the best version of it by Liza - even though I like her recorded soundtrack a lot this is delivered with incredible energy that somehow only Liza could muster -
And that folks is how you put on a show - WoW Liza
Liza is an electrifying performer. She takes total command of the stage.Her movements dance steps great voice are totally professional ,she lights up the whole concert hall.I adore her.
She channels her mother through her movements but, yes, I do agree with you.
I had the pleasure to see Liza perform in person in 1977 at the Stanley theater in downtown Pittsburgh. She performed on the same stage her mother performed a couple times in the past. Both ladies (Liza and Judy) were pure real talent that we will never see in our lifetimes again.
The best...that is all there is to say. No flashing lights, no gimmicks ---- just raw talent and magic.
Allan Cuseo totally
And fully clothed because she has a talent
Are you kidding? There were totally flashing lights. This performance was nothing but raw talent and flashing lights. Colorful lights at that. 😆
Liza was the best live performer I’ve seen and Ive seen Frank, Sammy, Barbra, Ella, Tony, Whitney and more.
John M Barbra still sounds good so I’d try and see her as soon as you can.
The lady earns every ovation. What an entertainer!
it never gets old, it never can be topped...the fab and only Liza Minelli
I always loved hearing Sinatra sing this song...then I heard Liza sing it. Sinatra can't compare. Liza owns this song❤
Liza has always amazed me. She puts so much into a song, just like her mother.
What a powerhouse of a performance; Liza belted the living daylights out of this, great stuff
Very much like her mom,💕 Raw talent & true passion, They both gave it their all. You were both Queens of the hill, never to be forgotten.
@mona2242 You've written this, referring to both Judy & Liza, in past tense, implying that they are both dead. While Judy Garland is, sadly, no longer with us....Liza is, very much, alive!! (Just in case you didn't know that!)😉

I have heard this many times and love it like no other - Liza at her best!!! ❤
No One or other Performers sing this better than Liza. She was Great!!!!! and the BEST!!!
Liza is a gift to this planet.
Liza Minnelli is a gift! Thank you, thank you! You are amazing. 💖
Oozing with emotion. I love it. I love her. Goosebumps.
I know that she paid her dues, and she was lucky enough to have the background...but this woman had the talent...it came naturally, or seemed so..and that's the key! No fake nothing, just her!
Such an original amazing talent with just enough Judy to complete the package❤❤❤❤.
OMG. Liza.The BEST.
This was Liza at her very best!!
Liza Minnelli!!
Spectacular!
😮
2019 and Im still rocking to this.
Yeah, I feel it's such a spectacular delivery and phrasing that just was meant for this landmark song. Her gestures and inflections so uplifting without being overdone...natural...
Beautiful, really...
The best version I've ever heard. Incredible!!
Once again this performance proved ,that liza was the greatest female entertainer.
Astonishing liza minnelllii
U can really hear her mother coming thru ...wonderful to hear
Liza was more joyfully energetic and less dramatic than her mother Judy. Both legendary geniuses playing in their own league...
Saw her twice live here in Belgium and Liza is just SUPERB ,
an amazing,loving,beautyfull woman.
GREAT VIDEO , Thx ...
Nobody can surpass the electrifying performances of liza minelli until now.
This shows why people packed her concerts.... She was just awesome!!!!!
THE "ONE" ALWAYS....!!!!!!. MY DEAR "LIZAAA"...!!!.
Ella es tan perfecta lo canta con tantos amor, pasión, entrega, orgullosa disfruta de la canción, es una artista completa, es increíble Liza Minelli por siempre para siempre única, es una leyenda viviente, está mujer se merece todo porque es humilde, es sencilla sensibilidad a flor de piel, buena gente, los verdaderos artistas son así, por eso son grandes leyendas ❤️🥳🥂
Judy's daughter does her mother proud here!
She originated the song in the film of the same name, and she is the only one who does it justice. Just brilliant
A unique and wonderful voice. A terrific dancer. Liza Minelli.
No one sings it better than her!!!
Had the pleasure of seeing LM many years ago. What an amazing talent
She sings and dance so wonderful, so perfect ❤💙💚💛💜
Stupendous....just like her mom!!! 😄👏🏾🎬
Wouldn't you love to have a song like this written for YOUR town/city/state! WOW! It always makes me feel great!

This is the kind of performance that you're awed. Awesome!

Liza owns the stage when she belts out a song. So like her mother. Grrrreat!! P.J.
Years ago I would go to a nightclub that would play NY, NY as the closing go home number.
Everytime I hear Liza sing - shivers go through my body - She is amazing and I cry for her and her mother - I wish they could of been born 20 years later so I could have had my life watching and listening to them both

She is magic!!!!!
There’s only one Liza Minneli! She owns the song New Y ork, New York!❤️❤️❤️
No joda,que pulmones tenia esa mujer...hasta las paredes del recinto temblaron con semejante vozarron!
Magnificent!! Saw her in person in Atlanta in the 80's. She was utterly beautiful, in glorious voice and the hottest thing going. Love that girl!! Hope she's doing well and happy.
Was it at The Fox Theater in 81?
Incredible!
A performance this great, deserved that standing ovation!
4 minutes of chique and pleasure - what a voice!
Happy Birthday. Liza Minnelli What a talent!
Absolutely GREAT !!!!! 👍👍 Talent. Liza an all time favourite of mine.
Goosebumps❤❤❤
Liza is the last of the greats I’ve seen her many times and she never disappoints
This song is LIZA"s, LOVE her and U can't get any BETTER than LIZA.
I watched this performance when it originally aired. This performance made me a fan. I'll never forget it.
Oh Liza you are simply everything. A treasure of unmatched proportions.
@@joeyg370 lmao
She was born for the stage.
I love watching her it's like watching her mother, it's surreal
OMG!!!! I Have CHILLS Just like her Mama she could sing sing sing!!!! I watched this 3 times SO AWESOME!!!!!!!
So fabulous! Fabulous!! Liza was exciting! No one can take her place!
Written for Liza and preferred by the songwriters for Liza and sung correctly by Liza, according to them. Much more fun to watch Liza sing this live than Sinatra.
People don't realize what a legacy she is and was meant to be!! She represents a time in history.
Liza , like you nobody, you are a talented authentic singer and actress, I love you.
Goosebumps! I love Liza!💖
love love love liza!!!! wow! the bomb! the best!
Magnificent version and interpretation,for me she is one of the best exponents of American music and worldwide
God Bless You Liza ⚘
She is so amazing!
Liza is amazing
I only wish I could have been looking at both in person at their many concerts. But, wasn't able to. But I haven't missed any movies or music they performed. Many of their songs have touched and inspired me throughout my Life.
Her voice is exactly like Judy! I smile every time she sings because when I close my eyes I hear and see Judy Garland Judy left us a gift with Liza
What power, what charisma, simply awesome. Pure talent
How is it possible that through my computer screen Liza can give me goosebumps?!
Outstanding!!! Liza bringing the house down!
