Barbra, Ethel, and Judy sing together!!

It is strange, given that she is the only one of the three to have been active and alive in my lifetime, but I've just never cared for Barbra. Ethel and Judy, however, were just GREAT! Barbra never seems to have any real emotion or soul, in her voice. She reminds me of the girl that was my rival for best singer in our small church. She always hit the right notes, she phrased things correctly, her performances were beautiful, but they were cold.

The congregation always loved my performances because like Ethel and Judy, I threw myself into every performance, it wasn't about giving the most beautiful performance, it was about making the audience FEEL the song.

Also, I did a musical in middle school. I was the only one that was so loud they didn't mike me, but I was still heard over everyone. Our two "directors" from the local college, called me Merman because I could belt.

That has ALWAYS been one of my favorite moments in film. And, yes one I've dreamed about doing.

OMG, OP! You've posted something brand new to the eldergays. I'm sure none of them knew this exists.

OP, you may find this recent thread of interest which also discusses the same performance.

Barbra looks and acts mortified through the whole thing. As you would.

This is a gem of a video. The only other times you'd have stars of this caliber together would be on The Love Boat

WoW

Barbra doesn't sing out with Ethel there. She's overwhelmed -- she's melting like buttah!

Are we talking about church here?
