When she sang, God appeared. The world's greatest. Without her, I wouldn't be alive today

I saw Garland Live Twice, the last performance for me was a palace towards the tail end of a career. I will never forget the electricity that emanated from this woman on stage! She spoiled me ......I expect lightning from others, but there was only one Judy Garland!

What a thrill it must have been. You’re one of the lucky ones who got to experience her live! 😊

I must have watched this fifty times...I never tire of it, I never fail to laugh when she does that spontaneous growl after "....and here's what I'd say", and I practically jump for joy at her unabashed delight in her own spontaneity, which infuses the song from that point onwards. Altogether, it's one of the most delightful three minutes one could spend on KZread, and I just hope it is never taken off. The greatest entertainer who has ever lived at the top of her game.... it just doesn't get better than this!

How can I ever get tired of This Woman's God given voice and showmanship?.. I hope that Heaven consists of listening to Judy Garland for eternity... :)

I don't comment much on YT. I gotta give my props for this, always a favourite recording of mine. The sheer energy of her delivery is momentous, her phrasing built from decades of training, het response to a big letdown was pure class, her power awesome. I often expect nothing less from Judy but this was truly something special. What a performance.

When I read what was going on at CBS at this time and how badly they treated Judy I got furious. This was JUDY GARLAND! She still came out and did her job and sang this song she had sung on stage since she was a little girl and knocked it out of the park!!

for what she was going thru at this time...this is amazing.

I defy anyone to listen to her singing this song without smiling throughout! She’s magnificent!

Ican't get enough of this one.

Raw talent? I disagree. This is REFINED talent, talent that has been honed in, worked at, and absolutely perfected. For perfect it is. Judy was a consummate entertainer, one who ALWAYS went out there and gave it her all. She knew practice made perfect, that's why she worked her ass off preparing for her concerts. It takes more than sheer talent to become a Legend, and Judy is a Legend...

She could do anything. Anything.

Better than Jolson. This woman is peerless! Heaven for me is listening to her sing for all eternity.

God, what a talent, and she made every song she sang, hers.

Judy Garland started off an enormous lighting bolt of raw talent, but had a family that indulged in incredibly funny story telling, a father who owned a movie theatre (and do not forget that Judy was a sponge with a perfect memory and incredibly lightning fast recall, and even after her metro years her memory was still pretty remarkable, and her razor sharp and lightning fast wit was almost always there). the girls went to Lawlors Schoold for Professional Children, as well as becoming part of the Meglin Kiddies, so there was much training on the job, professionally before MGM. All of that existed before she was 12 yrs old, and once at MGM, everyone who was anyone wanted to work with her. And Judy being the amazing bundle of talent, who was also a sponge that soaked up other performers genius ideas/material, who had a letter perfect memory, with a razor sharp wit, relished this opportunity and learned so much from all of the professionals that were in utter awe of her. Finally when she left Metro at 28 (thinking in todays actor terms), she had completed jr high/high school/college and grad school (I have known many successful actors who go to Grad school to learn and get their agents, and have had really good careers, in their 30s) at MGM, who could ask for a better training ground than people like Roger Edens, Chuck Walters, Gene Kelly, Dottie Ponedel, Vincent Minnelli, and the list is endless, she learned from the best, because they all saw the amazing raw talent, and were fortunate enough to have had a chance(s) to work/mold/impart what the talents/ideas they could to help enable Judy to achieve what they and she knew she had. asounding yes, words fail, more often than not, but you cannot say she did not have professional training. Arthur Freed said it best. Judy was at the right time, in the right place, and was the right person for what she was to do.

Very well-put, Craig, and I think that it's important to realise, as you have said, that she was, in addition to having this amazing talent, perhaps the most intelligent movie star Hollywood ever had... no wonder people like Roger Edens, Chuck Walters, and Kay Thompson (don't forget Kay!) attached themselves to her from her earliest days at MGM, and STAYED attached: Roger and Kay, and Hugh Martin, were still there, in 1961, in her dressing room before the Carnegie Hall concert. That's loyalty!

The lady could sing! What a unique style.. all her own.

Lucille Ball herself stormed the office of Jim Aubrey and told him and his henchmen what they are doing to Garland was wrong and that you don't treat a star like Judy they they were treating her. Lucille Ball had Class and was a Great Friend to Judy.

Words fail. I'll try: astounding. Let's not forget that this woman had NO professional training. She was born into the vaudeville circuit, as a child....basically a traveling circus thru the US where every performer was expected to "bring it"...without props, microphones, computers. Just SING. And give the audience....their money's worth. Make the audience FEEL IT. She did.

A glimpse of Judy the vaudevillian!

The greatest Judy Garland

I agree with you on What you said about Jim Aubrey. He hated this Woman who was like a National Treasure. Lucille Ball herself came to Judy's aid and stormed the CBS Brass' office and told them they how dare they treat a Star of Garland's Magnitude that way. She was appalled when she kept hearing the guests calling Judy a "Little Old Lady". Lucille Ball had great Clout at CBS. That is another reason why I love Lucy

CAROLINA gotta Love it!!!!!!

Happy birthday judy love u

I totally agree with you, bhw722..The head of CBS hated Judy and called her a c_nt ..No, HE IS THE C_NT !! Here Judy is The World's GREATEST Entertainer ..believed to be not only by her fans but every performer of her generation, a lot of whom were on her show..ie. Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett etc..so for that guy from CBS...I think Aubrey was his last name, to ruin that show was ridiculous and stupid ..it killed her emotionally ...F him ...Love you Judy ...xo

Wow, wow, wow!!

my old time favourite song that i used to sing to the old gals,, If only i had judy's arrangement. a Power House Song..Remade By The Queen Of Broaway...........

wow

Judy lived & felt each song she ever sang & did it with such ease! I've listened to both of daughters belting out songs at their peak,but they seem to always faulter vocally. Judy had the original voice but neither daughter got enough of Judy's vocal talent to sound as smooth like Judy at Carnegie hall. Lorna always seems to think if she holds a note longer and over does the vibrato that she can excite and move the audience the way Judy always could..She doesnt even have a signature song.

Well, three of them now have musical careers... and they didn't get to where they were headed because they listened to Madonna, etc! They got there by seeing what real talent is!
