JUDY IS THE ULTIMATE PERFORMER. AMAZING.

She makes modern singers look like amateurs. The greatest entertainer to ever live!

No one but the GREAT Judy Garland could ever pull this one off…. Million dollar voice singing a $25 arrangement.

oh this should be restored!!!!

She literally brings life to a song in a way no other can...even by today's standards.

My God! She was simply Fabulous!!!

Judy was so exceptional! Rarely do we get to see a movie actress that is also a great live stage performer.

She did. And i think her audience was her first love (after her children, of course-- she was a great mother who loved her children).

Cole Porter wrote such wonderful lyrics.

I've never seen this... she could still belt them out... and that ovation. Hollywood still loved her.

This Judy Garland performance is exceptional, considering that the arrangement is not great. Judy is in great voice and looks incredible! She makes the material work, despite the shortcomings. When she ends the medley with "Night and Day" I get goosebumps ! There is no one today that comes close to her talent. I don't understand why some people don't get the artistry of this remarkable woman.

Just wonderful as Judy never disappoints. Great medley of Cole Porter sung by the great Judy Garland

WOW !!!!! Nothing like this lady in our time. What we have today in movies,tv,music fall in the American Horror Show.

Judy Garland simply divine, great job singing Cole Porter. A talent gone way too soon.

This is pretty great to be able to see this now. I love what Judy is wearing. Very iconic. I hope Judy is having peace and joy up there in heaven. She sure gave a lot of people joy on earth. And thanks to posts like this, she still is.

Cole Porter and Judy Garland can't go wrong.

Great Judy!!!!! right Gene, she is a monumental star! unforgettable! go go go Judy!!!!!!

Happy birthday, miss Judy garland

What a fabulous singer. I loved Judy Garland. I felt so sad when she died that I decide to go to het funeral

Fantastic . everything perfect....Phrasing ,tone expression and what a finish to polish it off. They will never touch her presence or sheer talent.👏👏👏

I wish they would issue this in better sound on CD; Judy Garland at her very greatest....

whoohooo! JUDY! Be still my heart!!

She's the best . That's all there is to it

BRAVA! BRAVA! BRAVA! Judy was in great voice that night --- and she remembered all the words. As a huge Judy fan, whenever I find something I've never seen, I wait with bated breath all the way through, hoping she remembers the words, the blocking, the cameras, the choreography, the tempos, the intros --- and those darn stairs. And here she did! She wasn't too jacked up on uppers and down from the barbiturates. By 1965 you just never knew. But this time she did what she did best: stood on a stage and entertained the heck out of us. Thank you, Judy. 💕

Her MGM mentor and vocal arranger Roger Edens ( besides the fabulous Kay Thompson) did this let down of an arrangement. He did all her arrangements from "Dear Mr Gable" to "The Palace Medley " to "Judy's Olio" and also "Born In A Truck" for a Star Is Born.

@@dylanwashington2419 You're right. Those familiar with musical arrangement can easily spot what's wrong with this. Certainly out of loyalty to Edens, as well as to her former producer Arthur Freed- who produced this Oscar telecast- Judy trudged on, surely knowing it was a losing battle and she would probably come off poorly.

True. Usually, smoking can ruin the voice. With a few select it brings out richness and depth. Besides Judy, I'd submit her daughter Liza as someone whose voice was enhanced by the effects of smoking.

My God. There really wasn't anything like her before or since. Adela Rogers St. Johns was right: some are born great, and this one was a star among stars.

Wowzwer.

When the academy awards were a 10

I’m assuming this is a live recording.

Voice strong, but think it would've been better if they just gave her one or two Porter songs to remember him with. It seems like they just pasted together the big parts of all his songs and told her just go out and belt them all out. ...And we'll play a bland arrangement under you. A full song would give her moments to soften, then moments to open up and give that emotional wallop she was a genius at giving at just the right time. Nice because of Judy, but a missed opportunity it seems.

It's an Oscar show medley. Not supposed to be one or two songs.

Magnificent singer, magnificent material, crappy orchestral accompaniment! They sound like they couldn’t be bothered. I felt like Judy was holding back because of it.

“I’m a total wreck, a worthless check, a total flop!”.... that must have been a difficult phrase to sing for Garland at this stage of her life. This arrangement is terrible and leaden but the ending was effective. Her open throat technique still allows for glorious outpouring of voice... despite the obvious ragged quality on the end of phrases. A true vaudevillian to the end.

thnx 4 sdg jd,,,The arrangement not interesting & way too slow in tempo but she sounds great!

Richard, DITTO

Ever the pro, Judy rises way above a poorly conceived medley & makes it work. She's in great voice. Too bad the arrangement isn't better.

I have long thought Judy sang better when she was slightly bigger. She sounds really great here, and this is one of the worst things she was ever given to sing.

Terrible arrangement...but she still manages to rise above it. Proof that cream rises.

Died four yeas later.

I’ve never seen this before. I was hoping for something a little better. I mean, Cole Porter and Judy Garland! How could it be bad? But she seems to be phoning it in. Where’s the famous wit and warmth? And the point of the arrangement seems to be about cramming as many songs in as possible, any way possible. Oh well. I’m still glad I got to see it.

I’m a huge Judy Garland fan , and I’ve never heard her sound worse . I hope some of it was acoustics and/or technical problems . This to me was downright hard to watch !

I'm going to have to take a probably unpopular viewpoint, but I think she is in poor voice here. This is nothing like her singing on her 1962 special, or even on many of her 1963-64 tv series. A review at the time even referred to this as "her disastrous performance on the Academy Awards." Too bad, because she was being seen by so many people, this being Oscar night.

Loving Judy doesn’t mean I forgo all critical capacity. Lousy arrangements, awful medley and a rather odd performance from the incomparable Judy. Almost sharp at times.

Judy's in great voice but this is surprising dull medley and arrangement. No momentum, no electricity.

She looks scared and out of it. Weak voice. Her voice would come and go during the remaining 5 years of her life. Better at the palace 2 years later
