Thought she might have thrown in a solo hit or two, but no, it was all Blondie material. & the rest of the band were damn good too. Glad I saw them

Debbie Harry is magnificent, but something about the Muppets, especially Kermit... Surprisingly performers tend to just end up treating them like other actors instead of puppets. Henson and crew had (and some of the crew still has) an ability to get folks to temporarily forget it is just a puppet, and the results are sometimes just magic. I think that is why Jim Henson Workshop and alums are still so sought after for TV and move productions. Yeah, we can do basically anything on screen with CG, but the actors (and sometimes directors) suspending their own disbelief and treating a puppet as a character is a whole other level. Reportedly during filming of Mandalorian, Werner Herzog was giving direction/acting advice directly to the Grogu puppet ;)

His son said Debbie Harry, and that "She'd be great!" At the wrap party for that episode, Jim turned to his son Brian and said, "You were right."

Either way she is amazing to look at and her singing is so honest and touching in this song. I didn't realize her full range before as this song is a big departure from the great pop songs she was famous for. I was a teenager when Blondie first came out and I had a huge crush on her.

WOW!!!!!! This is truly amazing and I bawled my eyes out like a little baby and I'm 49 years old. I grew up with Jim Henson and The Muppets and this performance is unbelievable!!! Debbie Harry has an amazing voice and I thought both voices meshed well to this classical deep song. This brings backs many memories and just gives me chills. What really drove it home even more were the little background frogs humming. How ingenious. Jim was so awesome. Who'd have thought he could evoke such emotion with Muppets?? R.I.P. JIM HENSON. Your legacy will live on and we will always love you and be grateful for all the happiness you brought to us!

@slackerman9758 Жыл бұрын
@@jimmyoddsocks8666 lol, his voice is instantly recognizable. His voice is so full of character (throaty, low larynx while raising the larynx during delivery to hit higher pitches) that it sits in a middle register and constrains falsetto and larynx drops due to that being part of the schtick. A real trick to sing as Kermit, I imagine. But, Debbie is such a world class talent, she could partner with someone having a sneezing fit and make them sound fine 🤪
