Julie Andrews is the actress who can do BASICALLY ANYTHING FLAWLESSLY. Like, is she even human?! In the words of Phillipa Soo, 'she is a gift to us all'
check out her rapping with carol burnett...she really is something...she actually did a verse from this show randomly out of the blue at one of her event in December. The audience were gobsmacked, there was an audible gasp when she did it with such ease more than 25 years after this show.
Julie is one of those performers whom we almost don't notice because we've written them off as impossible to compare with anyone else, so, why bother? She has set the bar so high that we don't expect anything but perfection, and where she is concerned, we simply expect it. We are not flabbergasted, but we should be. Result: she is taken for granted and underrated.
Wow. This is like flawless! Not one hole in the rhythm. It's the original speed. The Melody is fluid and the phrase is held as long as it needs to be. No pauses, no scrambles. Mrs. Julie Andrews, I applaud you!
Another thing I love is "pre-*h*istoric" at 1:54. She didn't omit the 'h' which one would certainly want to do considering it's a consonant that takes up a lot of breath, and it's already a very long phrase.
Apparently when she sings live, without a mike, it used to feel like surround sound, comes from all angles and sides to the listener, particularly on the higher notes above the staff....she could have jumped to the high b-flat from the last F to no effort I bet.
Not only is she singing all the parts of an extraordinarily complicated song, it's the first time hearing it I could make out all the words sung by the priest. It always sounded like operatic noise before, here every word was enunciated.
There are people who are legends because they have been around for a while. And then there are people who are legends because they're Julie Andrews and she can do everything better than everyone else
This is absolutely one of the great Julie Andrews performances - and that's saying a whole, whole lot! What a treasure of a star and what a treasure of a song!
JENNY: Bless this day, Pinnacle of life Husband joined to wife The heart leaps up to behold This golden day. PAUL: Today is for Amy Amy, I give you the rest of my life To cherish and to keep you To honor you forever Today is for Amy, My, happily, soon-to-be wife. AMY: Pardon me, is everybody here? Because if everybody's here, I'd like to thank you all For coming to the wedding. I'd appreciate you going even more, I mean, you must have lots of better things to do, And not a word of it to Paul Remember Paul? You know, the man I'm going to marry But I'm not, because I wouldn't ruin anyone As wonderful as he is. Thank you all for the gifts and the flowers, Thank you all, now it's back to the showers Don't tell Paul, but I'm not getting married today. JENNY: Bless this day, Tragedy of life Husband bound to wife The heart sinks down And feels dead This dreadful day. AMY: Listen everybody, look, I don't know what you're waiting for A wedding. What's a wedding? It's a prehistoric ritual Where everybody promises fidelity forever, Which is maybe the most horrifying word I ever heard of, Which is followed by a honeymoon, where suddenly he'll realize He's saddled with a nut, and want to kill me, which he should. Thanks a bunch, but I'm not getting married Go have lunch, 'cause I'm not getting married You've been grand, but I'm not getting married Don't just stand there, I'm not getting married And don't tell Paul, but I'm not getting married today. Go! Can't you go? Why is nobody listening? Goodbye! Go and cry At another person's wake. If you're quick, for a kick You could pick up a christening But please, on my knees, There's a human life at stake! Listen everybody, I'm afraid you didn't hear Or do you want to see a crazy lady fall apart in front of you? It isn't only Paul who would be ruining his life You know, we'll both of us be losing our identities I telephoned my analyst about it, and he said to see him Monday But by Monday I'll be floating in the Hudson with the other garbage. I'm not well, so I'm not getting married You've been swell, but I'm not getting married Clear the hall, 'cause I'm not getting married Thank you all, but I'm not getting married And don't tell Paul, but I'm not getting married today. JENNY: Bless this bride, Totally insane Slipping down the drain And bless this day in our hearts As it starts To rain. PAUL: Today is for Amy Amy, I give you the rest of my life To cherish and to keep you To honor you forever AMY: Go! Can't you go? Look, you know I adore you all But why watch me die Like Eliza on the ice? Look, perhaps I'll collapse In the apse right before you all So take back the cake Burn the shoes, and boil the rice. PAUL: Today is for Amy, My, happily, soon-to-be wife My adorable wife... AMY: Look, I didn't want to have to tell you, But I may be coming down with hepatitis, and I think I'm gonna faint So if you want to watch me faint, I'll do it happily, But wouldn't it be funnier to go and watch a funeral? So thank you for the twenty-seven dinner plates, Thirty-seven butter knives, Forty-seven paperweights, Fifty-seven candle holders PAUL: One more thing... AMY: I'm not getting married. CHOIR: Amen! PAUL: Softly said... AMY: But I'm not getting married. CHOIR: Amen! PAUL: With this ring... AMY: See, I'm not getting married! CHOIR: Amen! PAUL: I thee wed. AMY: Still, I'm not getting married! CHOIR: Amen! PAUL: Let us pray that we are getting married AMY: Let us pray that we're not getting married ALL: Today!
I love this! You should check out Randy Rainbow’s version which is “Don’t tell Donald he’s Not Re-elected Today!” It’s equally as good and he also takes no breaths during long verses and it’s amazing. I can’t do that! 😂😂😂😂
I love her my one critique is she sounds like she is calmly dismissing the wedding before getting frustrated while in the play the lady kinda sounds like she’s losing her mind a bit
She’s fucking fantastic god but sometimes doesn’t know where to look eyes really darty in the beginning haha. The fast tempo part? No one can match Jbabys diction. Don’t even try.
This is how I feel in the shower when I sing every part of every musical 😂
she really went and sang ALL THE PARTS without needing extra time to take a breath???? AMAZING
Duh. She’s Julie Freakin Andrews! lol
Only Julie Andrews can sing a three person song
Julie Andrews is the actress who can do BASICALLY ANYTHING FLAWLESSLY.
Like, is she even human?!
In the words of Phillipa Soo, 'she is a gift to us all'
God there’s a man onstage that COULD sing Paul’s parts....... but no Julie MUST sing them 😂😂😂😂 I love her oh my goddddd
Hahaha I read this comment just as the video was ending and the man materialized behind her!
Rap GODDESS Julie. Spit those bars slay
HATE.
Nothing but LOVE for this amazing beauty & talent
check out her rapping with carol burnett...she really is something...she actually did a verse from this show randomly out of the blue at one of her event in December. The audience were gobsmacked, there was an audible gasp when she did it with such ease more than 25 years after this show.
oh god I thought u said Rip instead of rap and I got rly sad real quick :"(
How is she not gasping for air after that intense performance?! Is she even a human?! 😂

Couldn't agree more…
Wow.
This is like flawless! Not one hole in the rhythm. It's the original speed. The Melody is fluid and the phrase is held as long as it needs to be. No pauses, no scrambles.
Mrs. Julie Andrews, I applaud you!
She doesn't even take a breath before the fast part at 1:02! Omg.
Another thing I love is "pre-*h*istoric" at 1:54. She didn't omit the 'h' which one would certainly want to do considering it's a consonant that takes up a lot of breath, and it's already a very long phrase.
@@bvespertine great observations!
clean living
Apparently when she sings live, without a mike, it used to feel like surround sound, comes from all angles and sides to the listener, particularly on the higher notes above the staff....she could have jumped to the high b-flat from the last F to no effort I bet.
Only her could pull off doing all three parts 😍
Not only is she singing all the parts of an extraordinarily complicated song, it's the first time hearing it I could make out all the words sung by the priest. It always sounded like operatic noise before, here every word was enunciated.
There are people who are legends because they have been around for a while. And then there are people who are legends because they're Julie Andrews and she can do everything better than everyone else
Believe me when I tell you I dropped EVERYTHING the second I saw Julie singing Sondheim in this video description
No one:
Me performing the whole musical at 3am:
(Except Julie can actually pull it off. God, she's an icon)
We should have had this voice for many more years. :(
She's not dead
Renad Ashour she had surgery that messed up her voice, I’m sure that’s what they’re referring to.
I mean most of it is delivered in her speaking voice 🤷♂️
wow. oh my!! crystal clear enunciation, great emotion, marvelous facial expression, extraordinary delivery, perfect performance!
such a wonderful artist. I'm in love. 💟
it's so nice that someone falls in love with an 85 year old gal.
@@harmoniabalanza what can I do? Dame Julie Andrews truly is lovely. 😊💟
This is absolutely one of the great Julie Andrews performances - and that's saying a whole, whole lot! What a treasure of a star and what a treasure of a song!
HOLY SHIT. I just adore how she sings a trio by herself and crushes it.
The best diction that’s ever existed in show business ever. Good lord!
HOW does she get all the three part lyrics out of her mouth so flawlessly, and seemingly, effortlessly?
😳😭…
Don’t tell Paul, I’m not getting married today. Did u not take a leadership coaching session like the rest of us???
Holy Gosh! This performance always leaves me breathless! What a great breath control, diction and voice!
The only person who can match Madeline Kahn's version.
At last a better copy of the one on here already.
A goddess walking amongst mere mortals... perfect diction! what key is this in? It’s perfection!
Absolutely fantastic, there is no competition here Julie Andrews is Queen.
how I wish I am as graceful as Julie Andrews when I'm having anxiety attack. 😂
Ms. Andrews is a versatile singer, actress, and writer. She is my favorite actress. She has never disappointed me.
JENNY: Bless this day,
Pinnacle of life
Husband joined to wife
The heart leaps up to behold
This golden day.
PAUL: Today is for Amy
Amy, I give you the rest of my life
To cherish and to keep you
To honor you forever
Today is for Amy,
My, happily, soon-to-be wife.
AMY: Pardon me, is everybody here?
Because if everybody's here,
I'd like to thank you all
For coming to the wedding.
I'd appreciate you going even more,
I mean, you must have lots of better things to do,
And not a word of it to Paul
Remember Paul? You know, the man I'm going to marry
But I'm not, because I wouldn't ruin anyone
As wonderful as he is.
Thank you all for the gifts and the flowers,
Thank you all, now it's back to the showers
Don't tell Paul, but I'm not getting married today.
JENNY: Bless this day,
Tragedy of life
Husband bound to wife
The heart sinks down
And feels dead
This dreadful day.
AMY: Listen everybody, look, I don't know what you're waiting for
A wedding. What's a wedding? It's a prehistoric ritual
Where everybody promises fidelity forever,
Which is maybe the most horrifying word I ever heard of,
Which is followed by a honeymoon, where suddenly he'll realize
He's saddled with a nut, and want to kill me, which he should.
Thanks a bunch, but I'm not getting married
Go have lunch, 'cause I'm not getting married
You've been grand, but I'm not getting married
Don't just stand there, I'm not getting married
And don't tell Paul, but I'm not getting married today.
Go! Can't you go?
Why is nobody listening?
Goodbye! Go and cry
At another person's wake.
If you're quick, for a kick
You could pick up a christening
But please, on my knees,
There's a human life at stake!
Listen everybody, I'm afraid you didn't hear
Or do you want to see a crazy lady fall apart in front of you?
It isn't only Paul who would be ruining his life
You know, we'll both of us be losing our identities
I telephoned my analyst about it, and he said to see him Monday
But by Monday I'll be floating in the Hudson with the other garbage.
I'm not well, so I'm not getting married
You've been swell, but I'm not getting married
Clear the hall, 'cause I'm not getting married
Thank you all, but I'm not getting married
And don't tell Paul, but I'm not getting married today.
JENNY: Bless this bride,
Totally insane
Slipping down the drain
And bless this day in our hearts
As it starts
To rain.
PAUL: Today is for Amy
Amy, I give you the rest of my life
To cherish and to keep you
To honor you forever
AMY: Go! Can't you go?
Look, you know I adore you all
But why watch me die
Like Eliza on the ice?
Look, perhaps I'll collapse
In the apse right before you all
So take back the cake
Burn the shoes, and boil the rice.
PAUL: Today is for Amy,
My, happily, soon-to-be wife
My adorable wife...
AMY: Look, I didn't want to have to tell you,
But I may be coming down with hepatitis, and I think I'm gonna faint
So if you want to watch me faint, I'll do it happily,
But wouldn't it be funnier to go and watch a funeral?
So thank you for the twenty-seven dinner plates,
Thirty-seven butter knives,
Forty-seven paperweights,
Fifty-seven candle holders
PAUL: One more thing...
AMY: I'm not getting married.
CHOIR: Amen!
PAUL: Softly said...
AMY: But I'm not getting married.
CHOIR: Amen!
PAUL: With this ring...
AMY: See, I'm not getting married!
CHOIR: Amen!
PAUL: I thee wed.
AMY: Still, I'm not getting married!
CHOIR: Amen!
PAUL: Let us pray that we are getting married
AMY: Let us pray that we're not getting married
ALL: Today!
She did EVERY part AND did the rolling of the R’s too!!! Whaaaaaaaaaat
OH MY GAWD. I can't believe I've seen so many performances of this song but never this one. Ms. Khan's version was my favorite UNTIL today. TODAAAY!!!
I love this! You should check out Randy Rainbow’s version which is “Don’t tell Donald he’s Not Re-elected Today!” It’s equally as good and he also takes no breaths during long verses and it’s amazing. I can’t do that! 😂😂😂😂
@@sandrafraser7015 I have! Big fan of RR. ❤️ & ✌️, friend!
THE DICTION
So freaking perfect and awesome!
…we will NEVER see such raw talent and vocal power as Julie Andrews ever again…she’s so amazing. And fuck that doctor who ruined her vocal range.
Oh....Julie, you're incredible.
The diction is perfect. All Hail Julie!
WHAT?! I did NOT know she did this number?!!! SOOO awesome, thank you video recordings from the past!
The diction is just incredible
GOODESSSSSSSSS!!!! QUEEENNN!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💞💞💞💞💝💝💝💝💝💞💓💓💓🖤🖤🖤🧡🧡❤️💜💛🧡💛💚💚💙❣️❣️💖💖💖💗💗💓💓💞💞💜❤️🧡🧡💜💓💓💗💖💖💚💔❣️💖💘💙💓💓💞💞💝💞💞💝💝💝💝💞💜❤️❤️🖤💜🖤💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💗💗💖💖💖💖❣️❣️❣️❣️💚💚💙💙💙💕💕💘💘💘💕💕💙💙💙💚💚💛💛💛🖤💓🖤💜❤️❤️🧡🧡
...I actually had to take a breath too, after listening to the first part.
There is really no one like Julie.
You can't beat Julie Andrews ❤
What a queen, we stan
i had to clap from behind the screen and decades later that was incredible
SHE'S AMAZING
Flawless. Julie is perfection. Mind blowing
she has pipes like no other i am obsessed
God shes perfection 😭
Jesus Nelly! That is flabberghasting😲😲😲🙏🙏🙏
Paul: I can't sing
Julie: Hold my bottled water
thank you for this! happy birthday julie
Queeeeeeen!!!!!!
she is so good :)
This is pure gold!
Absolute icon
Sooooo are you telling me that both Lady Whistledown and Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) sang this??? OH MEIN GOAT
this very much has the energy of a mafia person kidnapping her and making her do the song all by herself at a birthday party.
Magnificent.
Julie Andrew just casually cementing herself as the GOAT
Amazing!
Wow ! 😃
I accidentally listened to this at 1.25x speed, and it didn't seem like she couldn't do it that fast.
Stunning.
PROFESSIONAL SINGER ™️
five dislikes out of 1029 is not a terrible ratio oh my love it
I love here so much
1:00 1:48 3:34 3:55
1:01 1:52 1:59 2:14 2:25
Um she slays my life
the fact she did all parts
The time Julie Andrews forgot she was human!
TOUR DE FORCE!!!!!
I love her my one critique is she sounds like she is calmly dismissing the wedding before getting frustrated while in the play the lady kinda sounds like she’s losing her mind a bit
the fast ones was she having the anxiery.. the others were from 2 diffrent characters
Her sense of timing is dumbfounding
She’s fucking fantastic god but sometimes doesn’t know where to look eyes really darty in the beginning haha. The fast tempo part? No one can match Jbabys diction. Don’t even try.
