Vocally and emotionally, Liz was pure perfection. What a talent! Side note: Liz's lovely mother sat behind me. I glanced at her after the number. She was teary eyed and beaming with pride.

Different takes - Lupone rarely head voice in the climax whereas Liz uses head voice Lupone “yells” with full breath support and power so actually its a belt, not many can do that especially above D5 notes Lupone belts an F5 in full voice and sustained later an E5. Liz is softer in her approach and sings in head voice which is less challenging

I think the comments section is unanimous in saying that this is the BEST VERSION of Meadowlark.. And I definitely agree! Damn, she meant every word -- and I mean EVERY WORD. For example, in 1:50, she sang "rough and tender"', and she enunciated it like well, it's rough and tender.. Great enunciation and interpretation, plus the orchestra complemented very well on top of this world-class performance! I applaud every single time she finishes the song and I can't even count how many times I've replayed it. LOL

When I was a girl, I had a favourite story Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind Her voice could match the angels' in its glory, But she was blind, The lark was blind. An old king came and took her to his palace, Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid, And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice and he prayed "Sing for me, my meadowlark Sing for me of the silver morning. Set me free, my meadowlark And I'll buy you a priceless jewel, And cloth of brocade and crewel, And I'll love you for life if you will Sing for me." Than one day as the lark sang by the water The god of the sun heard her in his flight And her singing moved him so, he came and brought her The gift of sight, He gave her sight. And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendor Of this beautiful young god, so proud and strong And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender, "Come along, Fly with me, my meadowlark, Fly with me on the silver morning. Past the sea where the dolphins bark, We will dance on the coral beaches, Make a feast of the plums and peaches, Just as far as your vision reaches, Fly with me." But the meadowlark said no, For the old king loved her so, She couldn't bear to wound his pride. So the sun god flew away and when the king came down that day, He found his meadowlark had died. Every time I heard that part I cried. And now I stand here, starry-eyed and stormy. Oh, just when I thought my heart was finally numb, A beautiful young man appears before me Singing "Come Oh, won't you come?" And what can I do if finally for the first time The one I'm burning for returns the glow? If love has come at last it's picked the worst time Still I know I've got to go. Fly away, meadowlark. Fly away in the silver morning. If I stay, I'll grow to curse the dark, So it's off where the days won't bind me. I know I leave wounds behind me, But I won't let tomorrow find me Back this way. Before my past once again can blind me, Fly away. And we won't wait to say goodbye, My beautiful young man and I.
