How can one single human being possess THIS much talent?!

I was a Junior in high school when she sang this. Listening to her gave me a mix of joy, pain, and unimaginable excitement. At 83, it still does! Miss you, Judy.

Ladies and gentlemen, THAT is how it is done. What is wrong with you thumbs down people??

Judy had the biggest instrument on that stage.

And the Oscar goes to ... Grace Kelly in the biggest robbery in the history of the awards. They should have given Garland an Oscar for the released version and a couple more for the outtakes.

Again Judy sends shivers down my spine with this song. Perfect.

It is the Academy's eternal shame that they did award the Oscar to this lady.

Judy Garland is the only woman that ever gave me Goosebumps

It took me a long time to really appreciate just how supremely gifted a vocalist Judy Garland really was. Hers was not the best or most subtle of voices even though it was still quite good. But what sets her apart from many other singers was her unique ability to interpret a lyric, in which she'd lay herself bare and wring from it every ounce of emotion and feeling. You feel like you're her confidant and the center of her attention. Talent like hers is rare and fleeting. Thank heavens we have her recordings.

Those who know, know. This is the greatest of the great. Judy Garland...no one can touch her.

Warner Bros. sound department was astonishing. Even at the advent of stereophonic recording, the depth of the sound in this clip is remarkable. Miss Garland never sounded better. A perfect marriage of talent and technology.

One of the most memorable scenes in Hollywood history, from just about any film.

God...what a sound. He voice is like a huge bell.

what a voice, and a great singer. She was robbed of the Oscar .

How can such a little 4'11" woman generate such powerful singing with such emotion? It's Judy!! A woman with a supersonic voice and a vibrato that can tear your heart out.

Judy is singing to a pre-recording....BUT she was known to sing full force when filming, so there were two Judy’s in the room for the lucky few......with Judy belting over herself. Wish we could all be there.

Omg! Never saw this version!!! So natural! So light! Clean and pure Judy!!❤️

The first time I saw this it totally blew me away! Should have been the take used in the movie! Perfection here! She was totally robbed of the Oscar!

This is is the third out take I have seen. I think they made the right choice but I love this one too.

It really doesn't get better than this! Judy's phenomenal voice and personality, the song, the musicianship. I can't think of anything since 1954 which comes near the talent on display here.

Wow! I've only seen the one in the movie. This is just as amazing. From what I read, Garland actually sang along with the recording she was, I guess lipping. People would come from all over the studio to watch her film these scenes. It was like a free concert. She should have won the Oscar.

Judy's voice is so divine... so powerful... emotional. IDK. There are no words good enough to describe Judy's voice and the effect it has on the human heart. It's funny. At 16, I fell in love with the voice and persona of Barbra Streisand. Now at 65, I find myself utterly entranced by all things Judy. What IS the magical web this woman weaves around my very soul?

What a voice what a women with such love and soul in her heart!

WoW To me Judy Garland was like tasting my first glass of good wine, it was wonderful. It was sweet, yet tart, it was cold yet it warmed me, I never had the same experience with that wine again. It got better. I learned how to appreciate it more. As with Judy. I had all the same feelings about her and more. And as I get older I love her more, I feel her songs more. I wish there was a way I could let her know how much she means to me. How much she has helped shape my memories of my past.

She had one hell of a voice. This song was made for her voice... Wow.. 💖 💃 🎶 👌🏼 🔥

This version should have been the final cut of the film because it showed her the way she liked to sing - sitting & standing close to the band members, which is the way she did it in real life.

this is when you're jamming with the best. God Bless you Judy.

Talk about putting everything you've got into a song.

I'm a singer and this makes me want to crawl under a rock. She's so damn good on this song!

Lindaa!!⭐🌹❤️🇺🇸 Su Voz preciada Voz.🎤🎼 Es linda🌹

Torchy magnificence. The incomparable Judy Garland.

All done in a single shot! Sheer perfection! There aren’t enough adjectives to describe Judy Garland!

Just superlative! No one will ever equal Judy.

SLAYS it...everytime. The last of the Big Belters! Love this a million times!

So true! His fingers aren't even on the appropriate side of the piano! I'm really glad they went with completely different lighting in the final cut. This scene makes the movie, for me.

i used to pretend i was judy id sing along to her on my record player i was about 10 im 51 now on my own in my bedroom hairbrush for a mic judy on my player id sing my heart out to this fabulous woman to this day no one can sing this song the way judy sang it this will be my favourite of all songs sung by my all time favourite artist judy she was robbed of the best actress oscar ive always stood by my opinion on this coz to me judy was robbed

The director made her do this scene so many times with at least 5 costume changes. Every take she was perfect . 🥰

This is god given talent. I challenge any singer today to attempt a remake???? So amazing.

No hundreds of millions spent on CGI, no overstuffed comic book scripts, just sheer perfection and talent. No one today comes close to Judy.

My favorite female singer of all time. Thank you Judy for all that you shared with us.

Gorgeous Judy. In one of her best performances. Should have used this take. So wonderful. She gives me goosepimples.

Amazing! She should have gotten an award for this 💔 l love you Judy!

The Greatest of the Great! Happy 100th Birthday!

Speechless and breathless. There’s my girl❣️❣️❣️❣️

seeing this for the first time in October 2019. this is truly amazing. and as of this date, 15 people gave this thumbs down?! it's just proof that taste is extremely subjective.

2019 I think Judy's Oscar for this movie got derailed for a lot of reasons, but just watching this performance and knowing there are at least two other filmed versions helps or should help critics or nay-sayers understand the emotional toll it takes on a performer to raise their passion to this level time and time again. so glad I found the outtakes...they are true JUDY!

When they invent time travel, I'm going back to 1954 to right the wrong that Judy didn't get the Oscar. I mean she was ready in her hospital bed and everything. Bloody Grace Kelly.

The Version in the Movie was THE BEST version, Happy They picked THAT one!!!! BRILLIANT!!!! Judy was ROBBED of her DESERVED OSCAR!!! What a JOKE!!

How can you not fall in love w/tThat Voice. This version every bit as good as movie cut. Worlds Greatest Enterainer: JUDY GARLAND. Excellent musicians!

Every time she sings that song , it does something 2 me!

Judy and the piano player gettin a little action in this one!

Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, and all the other singers of this generation owe a debt of gratitude to this tiny woman with the big voice! If it wasn’t for her they wouldn’t be where they are now, she paved the way for them!

God bless you Judy

i've never seen this. What talent!

i love that she has a sip of milk before she sings. if there was ever a song that required something more than milk before singing, it's this one. she was the greatest.

My favourite version. So natural and intimate. So beautiful.

JUDY GARLAND THE SURE WINNER OF OSCAR 1955 IF NOT FOR THE HOLLYWOOD POLITICS AND INFLUENCE OF THE BIG SHOTS IN PRODUCTIONS PICKING THE BOX OFFICE GROSSER INSTEAD OF JUDY GARLAND WHO WAS GENUINELY THE BEST ACTRESS AND BEST PERFORMER OF THEM ALL!

The greatest torch song.

Judy, Judy, Judy.

Magnificent Judy

Sing it, Judy! What a voice!

Wonderful Judy Garland my favourite song of hers

This outtake version is better than the one put in the film!

Perfection!!❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏

I have never seen Judy so unrecognizable-so surprised to hear her voice come out of that woman's mouth.

The Incomparable Judy. 🌹🌹

Great to see this outtake! xx

She's so good, really extraordinary

Listen, we all know Judy Garland is a once in a century talent and this performance blows me away every time I see it. That being said, can we get a moment to appreciate the fake piano playing at 1:08? It is simply *chef's kiss*. A landmark moment in American cinema.

You know, I like this take better than the original.

Judy sure knows how to put a song over the best

So powerful, so beautiful! I love you Judy!!!

7 complete idiots vote this pure cinematic history down, wow. This is movie gold standard. Nobody can replace the great JG.

In the presence of greatness, the finest ✨🌟✨🌟❤️

Great film and. Perfect. Pitch.

Any take! I'll taken! If it's My Girl! The Divine Garland. 😎! Sing, Judy!

Thanks for sharing, I never imagined of actually viewing the alternative.

I just read that one of Judy’s male ancestors had such a powerful voice that it was heard two miles away. I don’t see how that is possible, but if any family lineage could do it, here you go….

Her singing is just incredible here - and I thought the take they used was the "ultimate"

This is such a perfect song for her to sing.

Never gets tired❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Every since my world began, I'm looking for Judy Garland now, the women that got away! ...Gratitude.

How many people are so good that their songs can impress people 70 years later? People whose grandparents weren't alive when Judy sang this song are blown away by it.

So inspiring and powerful. No one better to inspire a singer than Judy. XO

Give Judy the Damn Oscar will ya !!! Such an injustice 😢

I never saw this. Amazing. Thank you for posting.

God Bless Youn Judy Garland! Every bone in your body had TALENT!!

Brilliant!!!❤️

Such a beautiful voice

Wow what Great clip and one of my favorite songs. I seen the other version o the song when she wore the brown dress and this song and the one they finally used in the movie look totally different. It's very bright in this clip I liked the version in the movie because it was in the early morning hrs and the club was dark but this is still amazing.. Judy really sang totally different from her younger MGM style to the more intense Adult style. Thanks!

Her little giggle at the very end is so endearing.

Why, grace Kelly won over Judy, I'll never understand....Judy just plain got screwed!!!!!

It's interesting to note that this is a totally different version to the final release version. These are not really a take, but a different concept of this scene...the same as the 2nd version with the brown dress. They were trying to achieve the best image and camera movements and this is my 2nd favorite, the release version being the best.

An absolute one-of-a-kind if they ever existed. Mythic. Oh gosh, we miss you, Judy.

master of her craft!

The scene that was actually used in the film was SO much better -- MUCH more atmospheric. You actually believed that these were musicians, after hours, who were just riffing for their own pleasure. And there was James Mason, silently watching and listening in the dark, and already envisioning the splendid career that lay ahead for this inhumanly talented woman.

50 years on... R.I.P.

Yes Grace Kelly's performance in "The country girl" was the most drastic transformation she had ever made out of all of her pictures. Her portrayal of a mousy frump of a woman was in stark contrast to all of her other personas which we're the ultimate representation of 1950's glamour and style. It was the best dramatic performance of her career. That is all. But we have to remember that the purpose of the Academy is not to merely honor the most intensely dramatic of performances given within a season. But to accolade the most stand out memorable all encompassing of performances given within a season. That is what the true purpose and intention of the Academy Awards is. Unfortunately it all boils down to politics and that standard isn't always honored. Grace Kelly gave the best dramatic performance of her career. But Judy gave the most stand out memorable all encompassing performance of not only her career but also historically arguably one of the greatest of all time if not the greatest. Throughout her career she set standards of performing that no other person has ever been able to come close to achieving.

This woman is peerless! The greatest ever ! ❤️

This song shouldn't be sung by anyone else. She has not only her voice but her emotion singing it knowing she's been there. Sad & beautiful at the same time.
