I'm not Garland's biggest fan, but this Medley from West Side Story shows off her great musicality and a higher quality of singing. Vic Damone had the most gorgeous voice of all those baritone crooners. I think this was pre recorded - rare for Garland's show. Still just means they sang it this way the day before. Judy taking the lower harmonies is interesting, it's a very nicely orchestrated piece.

^ Same old dude who thinks that the poorly arranged Kismet songs are superior to Garland and Damone's West Side Story Medley because they "LIVE sung". As a musician I always prefer live singing, but the West Side Story Medley is vastly superior in content, craft, vocal intricacy and harmonics. And the lyrical genius of those magnificently composed songs can't be compared to a cheap silly sway like Kismet. Garland would have rolled her eyes at Be My Love if she wasn't hooking for the paycheck. Her voice is actually great in both medleys, considering. Just so you know, her task is much more difficult in the West Side Story and the whole thing is more beautifully sung. R102.

That said, Liza can't sing and Goldie should stop acting cute at R129. But the thread category is interesting, not great. So it's that.

The "No, just No" put down is so old & fruity & like gay white boy's mothers must have said to them? Y'all old boys were rebuked a lot. But in a grown man life - you deserve to be corrected.
