Blackvelvet in your Area - beautiful comment, God bless your kind heart.

Ya'll want to sing with me when we see her over the rainbow? ❤🌈 I love her!

sadly enough, though, it never really was 😢😢😢

I agree 100 percent to the first comment.

She’s not alone I saw people in the beginning with their instruments

Well, when she sang it in the film she was only 15.

Her singing still gives chills. What a beautiful woman. ♥️

@@theoriginalsurferbob Sixteen.

@@MaskedMan66 Iv heard her several times claim to be 15. Perhaps the movie was released at 16, but Iv seen countless Judy docs where she claimed to be 15 when the movie was filmed.

@@theoriginalsurferbob She was born in 1922. She began working on the movie in 1938. 38 - 22 = 16. And she turned 17 during post-production.

So, so true.

God that was well said❤️

Absolutely, well said

Chezzarai sings this song on KZfaq, just posted today

Oh, she was fully aware of her power! 🙂

I love how she belts this one a bit more - but love how somber and understated her performance was in the actual movie. Keeping the movie version so much more yearning and longing and reflective rather than bombastic is what made it last a century. But that's why I like that there is this version too. It glorious getting to here her cut loose on it a bit!

@@gsimon123 There are too many singers who turn it into an overblown "diva" piece. Two wonderfully understated covers in recent years have been done by Ai Kago and P!nk.

Yea! ikr! Each and every note has a strong resonance

thats not TRUE Can singer it liké you will never hear it ever l am mc Tortilla Jackson Martinez de la Cabronada..l did l live version that will bring you to tears for a minimum OF 2 w WEEKS straight Spécial appearance ...by thé UNDOCUMENTED AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL SUPER WINO ALCOHOLICS AND ILLEGAL DRUG DISTRIBUTION ORCHESTRA HEAVY METAL earance .

Her talented daughter Liza Minelli refused to sing it, out respect for her mother. I don't think any other vocalists attempted it - they knew they cold not compare with Judy. I doubt if any performer has been so strongly identified with a song.

@@user-rq2es2io8y What are you talking about? *Tons* of people have covered it!

@@MaskedMan66 Name three.

@@user-rq2es2io8y Ai Kago, P!nk, and Israel Kamakawiwoʻole.

No, but she would be the first person to say that anyone who loves the song is perfectly welcome to sing it. And there have been many excellent renditions of it; two that spring to mind are by Ai Kago and P!nk.

It will always be Judys song 🎵

Try Patti LaBelle

@@brandonthomas5563 I didn't know she'd done a cover! That's gotta be good.

@@MaskedMan66 yes take a listen it's wonderful

My opinion: her eyes were one of the most beautiful things about her.

It is the genuine smile she gives, really sweet.

Yeah!!! And so emotional. It's almost like you could touch the notes, so consistent. Judy was a beast.

It's not correct to say that 'vibrato is powerful'. Technically it's not correct to describe vibrato in this way. What you mean is you like her vibrato, the consistency, its speed and the fact that it may be punchy, etc, but it is not correct to say 'powerful'. You can describe her voice, chest voice, etc as powerful.

@@jotasier7098 she was an amazing singer

@@organisationxiv2927 Coming from Judy, it's powerful!

@@organisationxiv2927 yeah but to the average person it sounds powerful, no offence I doubt the person who wrote the original comment cares what the exact right terms are but it’s those technical terms that you mentioned that makes it powerful. This is coming from from somebody who is training in drama school and has voice lessons and singing lessons daily. It’s perfectly acceptable to say someone’s vibrato is powerful… you just have gone in to minute detail about why it’s powerful

THANK YOU! YOU get it! There are so many people here who think she was "suffering" and left in a hurry because she "couldn't take it" and garbage like that. People don't understand that Judy's real troubles began after "Wizard."

@@MaskedMan66 you need to watch the judy garlen movie. itll show you more info about her

@@12cyberninja Which Judy GARLAND movie? She made dozens.

@@MaskedMan66 rofl sorry I'm dying, I meant the documentary too young to die

@@12cyberninja Who made it? I like to check sources.

Hi, I noticed that she looked towards someone i believe to give her courage maybe? How beautiful it was to see her proud of herself at the end , what a beautiful woman, she probably ran fast to another gig for money, makes me so angry, her own mother basically and the studio's pimped her out

i know and she didn't bother looking at the audience or anyone while leaving :(

Why did she left the stage that fast? What happened to her that time?

@@girlinblack8643 she had a hard life right when she was born when she started her career her mom got her on drugs to keep her slim the industry has had on her and that's all I heard about her

I wish I could run right up to her and give her a big hug

That's why Hollywood should burn to the grounds for ruining so many lives.

I doubt anyone ever called her "ugly." She did not fit the movie studio's very narrow ideals of beauty, at least before she blossomed, so she was seen as imperfect.

Beauty is the eyes of the beholder. In today’s standards, she’s considered adorable imho. But back then, unfortunately that’s not the case. Sad but there’s a lot of those even going around to this very day

@@jonathannocon Movie studios and modeling agencies in those days had rather rigid standards of beauty, according to which, Judy's forehead was too big, her eyes were too wide apart, her nose was too button, and she had a gap in her teeth. The teeth were an easy fix; in fact, Mervyn LeRoy paid for the procedure out of his own pocket. As for the rest, audiences thought Judy was lovely, and MGM make-up artists learned to work with her features as they were. There are tales like that of all sorts; Rita Hayworth, for instance, had what was considered too low a hairline, so she had it shaved back.

@@jonathannocon I agree with you, though, that she was adorable!

I saw Judy’s early Oz makeup before director Victor Fleming made changes to then Judy’s makeup to what we would all come to know it as in the final cut, and she definitely had the looks department there also. Too much so that they had to dumb it down to make her look “younger & poorer” to suite Dorothy’s back story accordingly. Judy was a young, very talented and had all the trademarks of a super star that there were no doubt ppl in that field that were threatened by her rather quick success. Hence calling her ‘not pretty enough’ and so forth to subtlety stab her in her back which I’d imagine is the norm socialite(s) behaviour(s) & high society Hollywood at that era. Especially in the entertainment biz afaik.

that's the tragedy: they used and abused her. they popped her full of drugs and then act surprised when she burnt out so quick. no one will ever pay for those crimes.

Drugs

How in the world do you see her as looking "miserable?" You're superimposing the ridiculous notion too many people have of Judy being tragically miserable 24/7 over a simple performance of a song that she loved. She may look intense, but that's just the kind of performer she was. "Miserable" indeed. Yeesh!

@@BigDaddyDracula Who's "they?" What "drugs?" Make sure you know what you're talking about before you pop off.

@@sav7568 Specify. And make sure you know what you're talking about.

She looks like the mother in The It's a wonderful life!

@@QV33N1 Buffalo girls won't you come out tonight and dance by the light of the moon what did you wish for when you threw that rock!😂😂😂😂😂🌕🌕🌕🌛🌛🌈🥳👯‍♀️👯‍♀️

Aw, she’s so beautiful. 🥺

Cool Steez yes she’s legal here.

But she's hurting in her soul, very sad but true

i disagree, this is judy at her best, the fact that she's invoking melancholy and hope through the melody is just her skill, she's not damaged in this video she's skilled.

She looks like a robot singing for her supper. She looks unhappy. So I agree with the first poster.

@@billymccollum2897 me too

Lea Conway - You clearly don’t know her story. She was definitely damaged already. She had been on drugs since she was a teenager and was forced to diet and do drugs during the filming of The Wizard of Oz and was forced to smoke cigarettes and take antidepressants on top of the other drugs they were giving her and she was only 16 or 17 years old. She was already damaged as a child too because of her mother. So you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

@@billymccollum2897 thank you.

Rest in Peace Judy Garland.

Happy birthday Judy 🎁🎁

I'm pushin' 61 & we watched this film on TV every year as a family. Judy singing this song still gets me every time. It is a song of struggle, trying, yearning, trying...& never quite getting there. always barely out of reach. The end of the song says it all...as if the writer took a cue from Baum's life when he wrote it.

I would like to no more about your wisdom on Baum. I am very curious about what you wrote stating "like a cue from Baum's life." I actually saw 1 of the 3 pair of ruby slippers left in 2001 in Washington, D.C. absolutely amazing. even had a huge blow up photo of the scene w/the pelican on the lawn when they meet the wicked witch and the tin man. no one believes me on this, but, it is there. go look?

Baum had many set-backs in his life in the 19th century world he was born into. He was actually scared by a scarecrow he happened upon while playing as a boy near the home in the middle of NY State. It obviously stuck with him. He wrote & produced plays in play houses his father financed, which eventually went bust. He married Maud Gauge against her mother's wishes in the 1880's, then moved to Aberdeen, Dakota territory. His stories reflected life around him. Droughts & all. Many farmers there went bust during the industrial age's beginning by the time he got there though. He opened a store selling luxury goods anyway. They were in hock for everything they owned. The store was forced to close in the 1890's. He then bought & renamed a local newspaper that he illustrated. He wrote about a tornado that picked up a house & dropped it 2 miles away. So here you can see Dorothy's house winding up in Oz. Dorothy was based on the women of the high plains he'd known & see struggling to survive in the Dakota territory. Many people left the Aberdeen area from mortgage losses & an Indian uprising that never happened. His newspaper then slowly failed. His health began to fail from all the travel & working at so many things to, " make it". He then was basically forced to turn to writing. His many stories of Oz tried to show that dreams can come true. But, in life, they surely didn't.

thank you for all that info. lots of stuff I never knew. but, don't forget to look 4 the pelican! dreams do come true but sometimes you have to go thru a tornado OR 2 to get there. I'm living proof, clinically dead 5 times & survived an abduction w/intent 2 murder. God bless you

Glad you found it interesting. He had many adventures in his life with Maud. But the only one that seemed to work at all were his Oz stories. The name came from a filing cabinet, named O to Z.

In a Jack Paar Show in 1962 she sang a duet with Roubert Goulet. Amazing her voice even at this stage was nearly as big as his. A treat to hear them sing.

@@JRobbySh Well, she'd been at it a bit longer than him! ;-)

She would not say that. She would not begrudge anyone the chance to sing that song; her own daughter Liza sang it.

It's stupid to say nobody else should touch it because this is your favorite version.It's art and the entire point of art is to share it with other people. I hope after two years you learned how to grow up and stop acting like a child

Her stage mother, who gave her uppers and downers from the time she was a child, contributed more to her death than the industry ever did.

You think is was the illuminati?

Soulaesthete yeah and the music industry encouraged it...

Gary James Amen it did!

Adriana no

To be sure! In 1950 she played Dorothy again on the Lux Radio Theater's adaptation of _The Wizard of Oz._ It's really interesting to listen to; when she speaks, she sounds just like she did in the movie, but when she sings, her voice is fuller and richer. 🙂

She had a hand in that as well.

This special angel is over the rainbow up in heaven,❤️

She died when she was 47.

@@MaskedMan66 Yes I realize, she would have been 99 when I made this comment if she was still alive.

@@ronan8757 Just making sure.

Hey, she was always a very on-point, brilliant performer. Consider how she sang this when she was 16!

Michael Jackson ?

@@BD2784KOP yah. He was very talented. To each his own preferences and tastes.

@@BD2784KOP The OP said "today." MJ has sadly been dead for 14 years. Though I have no doubt that if he was still with us, he'd still be brilliant.

Those lyrics were changed before they were ever used in the movie, much less in any live performance.

I like to imagine you reincarnated as all the beautiful blue birds in the world and your flying through every beautiful rainbow you can find.

Her life had good times, too. She would want people to remember that.

I'd like to hear the rest of this broadcast; I wonder who else was in it?

Gives me chills and makes me cry

@@MaskedMan66 not a vocal fach

She was always in a hurry. It was the drugs, and nobody could keep up with her, actually. Can't you see how her eyes flicker all over the place? She tried to control it by staring at the mic, but it didn't help much.

They were actually rushing her off the stage so they could complete the broadcast in a timely manner

I wish to God she had a way better life than she had before.

They did!!!!

The Britney Spears syndrome.

She abused herself as well, sad to say. But she was always appreciative of her audiences and loved to perform for them.

Chezzarai sings this on KZfaq, just posted today

Laurie Faith Prescott - wasn't just the labour laws it was the evil deeds of those satanist pedophiles of hollywood and her greedy mother who did that to her..

Yes, she seemed to be in a hurry to get out of there...

She stopped smiling when you couldn’t fully see her whole face

They had child labor laws then; Judy only worked for four hours a day when she made "The Wizard of Oz."

@@arnebroxleirnes418 "I love humans. Always seeing patterns in things that aren't there." -- Dr. Who

Becky C...I think that Judy was certainly one of the very top female singers of her era, no doubt. And yes, Hollywood SHOULD be ashamed with how they destroyed Judy Garland; as well as many, many other great talents, but to be ashamed requires a conscience and Hollywood does not have one.

Judy did a lot to herself, as well as other people in her life; it isn't all on Hollywood.

@@MaskedMan66 because of them she get addicted to drugs😉

@@AnnaF33 More likely because of her mother. But her addictions came later than this performance.

@@MaskedMan66 yeah when she was 17 filming Oz she was forced to take drugs for not sleeping and be able to resist 18 h of filming, diet with cigarettes and coffee.. and after the movie finish she was already addicted

The worst she had to deal with was a corset which she found uncomfortable, but never complained about. You can just forget all that kak about her being starved, drugged, beaten, harassed, assaulted, raped, and all the other idiocy that people talk.

So sweet
