"But I was nominated." She was so funny!

I'm 14 and I think she's the most gorgeous, Innocent, strong, funny, witty, passionate, hard working, actress and singer I have ever heard, seen or ever will see. She was the most immensely talented, caring, compassionate, loving, person I've ever seen, And Boy oh boy could she belt out a song better than anyone I've ever seen with immense emotion, power, and vibrato, and when she sings a song, she doesn't just belt it, and she's a heck of a lot better than today's singers with just a microphone good orchestra and nothing else , and when she sing a song she doesn't just belt it, she is it and she pours every last drop of pure RAW talent and emotion out of it. And that's why I love her!

@@christopherlundgren3499 I would consider myself near those lines, yes. I would like to thank you for writing such a heartfelt comment! I've always appreciated good people, and I'm certain Judy Garland would have said the same. She did defend us in a 1967 interview, after all. I think we not only admire her for her flamboyance, irony, wit, theatrical and music ability, but also because her voice whether she was speaking, reciting stories of life experiences she went through, or singing gave people and herself the following: her life and personalities' climaxes, depletions, complete sadness, unmitigated happiness, and general humanity, I have always thought of her as not only a person whose heart and soul was bigger than all of her put together, but also a person whose anxieties, depressions, humbleness and charm forced her to be unable to realize her power over people; Not only her precious fans, but also her friends and family. I've contemplated she rarely realized her Generosity, Selflessness, Consideration, Compassion toward animals, and humanitarianism. I believe she generally didn't comprehend her genius and beauty, enough to realize she was truly admired and loved by her fans enormously, probably not even intentionally! I'm under the impression that is the reason why she's still, talked about, written about, parodied, and generally, discussed by the public today! Her tenacity, and superficial exterior, when examined closely, was very serious, which gave her a mousetrap-like wit, that we've come to admire and appreciate, so much today! It's almost like we parody her to protect whomever she had helped in her friendships, family circle, and community, so her legacy of civil and human rights preservation, and general humanity toward people who, themselves have been made invisible to protect our species, can revive into the succeeding generations and become the people who we were meant to be! Which is why we her legacy lives on so well today! Her humor, compassion, and talent helps bring out the love, happiness and humanity in people, which in turn, helps them thrive and grow to become the best people they know how to be! Which is the very reason why we love her so much today, and will always continue to celebrate her in high regard!

Every notes full of meaning. She takes a breath where it least interrupts the sentiment of the song. Expertly written lyrics each line delivers a knockout punch to the gut. Describes exactly the deep pain of losing the one you believe you’ll never love another in that way. This song truly belongs only to her and always will

Paytonfit I believe that the broadcasting company was as ignorant then as they are today. Great people NEVER die because they are NEVER FORGOTTEN. What amazes me is that no matter how CBS or MGM or any of those chronies tried to PAYBACK, yes even the Academy, she still rose above it with her amazing, incredible talent and just her being, if you will, that couldn’t be quelched. They all stuck together, like the Bobsy Twins or group- MGM, because they fired her but they couldn’t keep her down, CBS stuck with whatever MGM wanted and of course, the ACADEMY followed suit. All started with good ol’ PAYBACK. MGM thought they could chew her up and spit her out. (They worked the kids back then to near the exhaustion, then filled them full of pills to keep them working.) Judy was their greatest piece of property, she gave and gave all she had but when she needed help, time to charge her batteries, time to get the help she needed, they weren’t there for her. She was just a money bank for most everyone in her life, the studio, the stupid business managers, even husbands, all picking the meat off the bones. Then studios want to get more showings in a day so they scalp and hijack A STAR IS BORN and take out reels Willy Nilly so the producers (Luft) and the team have to put in still photos so the movie makes sense. And then there’s the Academy, a bunch of puppets; need I say more. I was just a kid when Judy lost the Academy Award, but even I could figure that one out, (with the help of my dad. Never the less, It didn’t take a nuclear scientist to figure it out.)

Man this woman can sing...one of my favorite songs of Judy Garland. Greatest singer EVER.

One of the greatest singing performances ever performed and filmed. A masterclass of singing and acting.

Said this before but, gotta' say it again: She's perfection! Don't think a lot of folks realize how her every move, nuance & note was precision -- AND!! she made it look so easy. She was one-of-a-kind and so very gorgeous!! If you follow Judy, you know she dressed impeccably - every single time! She was truly something to behold -- combined with that voice?? Man!! Thank goodness for video! Nobody like Judy!! She's in Heaven knowing how greatly & timelessly she blessed the entire world!💖

According to the Episode List, this show was taped July 23, 1963 and aired on October 13, 1963. For those who can't get enough of this phenomenal performance, there are four (!) other versions of this song on KZread (one from the movie, another from a concert, another again from her TV show). Each one is a gem.

She makes it all look so effortless. Superb entertainer.

There are certain songs in "The Great American Songbook" that the great singers (Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, etc.) "own" by their interpretation of the song whenever they sing the song. Judy Garland "owns" "The man that got away" from 1954 to the present

One of the greatest songs, sung by one of the greatest singers ever.

When I get to heaven I will listen intensely for that voice and when I hear her I will know I have arrived!

Absolutely her best performance of this. She tops her own performance from the film version. Incredible, stunning, and haunting.

Judy Garland gave her best performance in The Star is Born. To me she was the winner as Oscar’s Best Actress of 1954.

Judy's voice is much like Bing Crosby's voice, in that, as we listen as ordinary male/female persons, we wish or imagine that that's how we sound. It's not vocal acrobatics, gifted training or supremacy of talent, its that they capture some common essence of the sublime that is humanity.

This particular performance on her show was actually better than her film performance of the song! No matter the song, no matter the setting...Hollywood's greatest all-time entertainer always gave 110% and more to her audience in a most appreciative manner that made you love her back! Her loss of the Oscar was the biggest robbery in Hollywood's history and everyone there knew it, too. However, they can't steal the love and adoration of her fans. Her loss was so tragic and, sadly, we'll never see the likes of her again.

GREATEST Singer EVER, World's GREATEST Entertainer, EVER ...PERIOD!! Judy has NEVER had an Equal !!! xoxo

Who ever even dares to put a dislike to this genius! C'mon, people, getta life. Can't you tell a gem when you see it? Judy is beyond words fabulous ALWAYS!

This IS the very best version of "Man.." recorded. When looking at and hearing the movie version, the pace is slightly frenetic - you as much "see" her sing, as "hear" her sing. Here, in perfect voice, perfect presentation - makes this almost eerie.

Oh yes - the movie's version is at a faster tempo, and it doesn't move me like this version does.

She really was the true all-in-one performing package that just got rang out of it like a damn washcloth and thrown to the garbage can. I really have so much respect for this beautiful little woman. She makes your personal troubles look very stupid & microscopic when you've learned about everything she went through in her life while still never totally giving up of it from all the crap she had to put up with...which was an awful lot for just one person to deal with.

Garland was ridiculously robbed of that Best Actress Oscar and everyone knew it then and knows it now-almost embarrassing for Grace Kelly, who really wasn’t all that remarkable in a fairly forgettable film. But, perhaps, Garland owns the greatest Oscar of all Oscars-the one she was awarded in 1939 for her efforts in Wizard of Oz and Babes in Arms. She won that Oscar for an effort, a performance, a movie that remains the most-watched film in all of history, and a song that has already been awarded as the greatest movie song of the century. An Oscar given JUST for Judy, because she was special. Maybe Judy’s 1939 Oscar is actually the biggest, brightest, most prestigious Oscar that was ever awarded. Think about it. I think it’s the greatest Oscar ever given. And richly deserved. 🍾

I want to live inside this clip - it feeds something inside of me I scarcely know is there, but it's starving. Perhaps it's the pursuit of my definition of perfection. This is what Judy Garland (and Harold Arlen) does for me.

Natural charm with alllll that talent. Is it possible for a grown woman to also be adorable? Love her! Phenomenal talent! And the pipes on this one. God given! 😊

Finest performance by any singer ,anytime,anywhere.

Judy Garland was unquestionably the best entertainer ever!

Out of all the legendary Hollywood Female actors. This women right here is my favorite of all-time. There is something so alluring about Judy...this is coming from a guy that was born in 1984. I would of love to sit down and just talk with Judy for hours

I love how she uses a situation (her Oscar loss) that most entertainers would use as an object of pity, or anger, for laughs. Though probably not how she truly felt, shows how gracious she really was, or seemed to be.

I never understand when people say women aren't funny. She's hilarious, talented and the crowd is LOVING her! Rest In Peace, Judy.

nothing can touch that voice.

Her best version! She lives the lyrics! What s showman she was! Unequaled to this day!

WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE JUDY AND MARYLIN WERE THE ONLY REAL STARS. NO OTHER MALE OR FEMALE COMES CLOSE. JOAN CRAWFORD MAY BE IN THERE,TOO. THEY WERE MAGNIFICENT GODDESSES MUCH TOO GOOD FOR THIS WORLD. WE WERE FOREVER BLESSED BY THEIR PRESENCE.

One of the Greatest Singers of all time

I've heard her sing this numerous times (on the internet) from different venues. To me, this performance was the greatest she ever sounded singing this song (aside from her Carnegie Hall performance version).

What a story, what a song. Priceless little piece of television.

Absolutely no one could sing that song like Judy. I've always felt it was a crying shame Judy's father didn't live to see her success.

the most incredible voice God ever created...

OMG this version and performance tops almost all of the others. Judy"s voice is flawless here and she looks beautiful!

Robbery.. The perfect song, for THE perfect performer.. We'll love you forever Judy.

she's the best.

total star

For me, the greatest singers, and performers in general, are those with the ability to make every performance different and equally magnificent, and Judy Garland does just that. There's not a single note, a single breath or pause that is wasted, that doesn't hold meaning. Blessed were those who grew up enjoying not just with her talent and passion, but also with her wit and humour! And blessed are we today to enjoy that woman's gifts to humanity through youtube. :)

Every note , every emotion as she sings , those emotions trapped in her body from experiences that the song’s subject is about , she is releasing that trauma energy as she sings . Her singing voice is the sound that the heart would make if it could make a sound . Powerful energy spirit is released when she sings . Her body enacts the release too as she sings .Beautiful

Wow ..... never shall we’ve blessed with such talent !!! Oscar is a joke !!! Her big WIN was her son !!!

I love this video. She did a wonderful job speaking and the song...well...what can you say about talent like that? Incredible!

She was very talented actress and singer and her talent had burnt her from the inside. I get goosebumps from her singing

Judy you deserved that award!!!!

Best version of this song....by far.

Grace Kelly May have won but Judy Garland’s talent and memory will endure ! Her fame surpasses Grace Kelly and her statuette..

She was known for being a comedian but she still had something none of these singers have today....CLASS!

she's the greatest!

What an extraordinary talent. I wish she was still here with us. There could've been yet another chance for her to get an Oscar. So sad we lost her so soon

I just love listening to her tell her stories. :-) I miss you distant cousin Joots.

So Amazing She loved her children so much more than an Award As We Love You so Much More Than An Award !! 2019!!!

This is amazing. Her power, her humor, her talent. She tells this hysterical story and then behind that trunk she sings the song. Of all her performances of this legendary song, this is the most poignant... and honey this was sung Live!!

Her TV series was the apex of her great abilities & beauty... this rendition of The Man That Got Away is stellar, less vitriolic than the film version but no less explosively powerful... looks beautiful... Garland rocks!

Just stopped by and saw Judy...how could I resist? I miss her, her voice, her jokes, her laughter,her stories. There will never be another Judy Garland!

Just loved her TV show set, simple and elegant. Perfect forum for Dame Judy…

Man you said it! My all time favorite performance of any song!

And that, folks, is the way to sing a song!! Pure f#$&ing talent! 🌈❤️😀

I don't even have the words to describe this! She brings me tears every time I hear her. So talented....so beautiful.....and taken from us far too soon!

I love when she pulls out that picture of Joey. Judy struggled for most of her life, but she really loved her kids.

Great arrangement

Stunning! Consistent! A gift! Her voice is a literal gift from God.

Nothing like her. Every gesture, every expression, every inflection. Perfection. So genuine. Funny. Artistic choices, storytelling...the humanity, humor.

Judy is one of those people. As James Mason said in STAR IS BORN, that Esther had that something special that you know when you see it, and she had it. That’s it!!! That something special that Judy Garland had that you are very fortunate to get to experience maybe once in your lifetime.

It was a complete travesty that Judy Garland didn't win the Best Actress Academy Award in 1954 for her matchless performance in Cukor's "A Star Is Born". Not only was she superb in the musical sequences, but her dramatic work, particularly her scene with Charles Bickford, as the Studio Chief, describing Norman Maine's struggles in recovering from alcoholism, is staggering. No aspect of Grace Kelly's performance justified her win. Moreover, extensive footage from Star was cut and ultimately lost.

In her last months she looked exactly like terminally ill patients in their last days of life (I’m a retired nurse). I’ve often wondered how much of an overdose she even took. She gave so much joy in her life, and she had a lot of joy, thank goodness, but she certainly had a sad end.
