Liza @ Luxor

Yeah, right.

 

People posted similar comments about her "Liza's Back" appearances in New York in '02. I foolishly bought tickets and Liza was not back. I have seen Liza once in person and many times on TV since then; her voice is shot, except for songs that use her still powerful lower register.

 

I have enjoyed both Minnelli and Streisand over the year and saw both "Funny Girl" and Flora, The Red Menace" on Broadway as a teenager. I am a fan of both women. From what I saw and heard of Streisand last week, Barbra is the one who should be getting the praise.

 

Sometimes performers retain their star power even when they are otherwise shot. I saw Rosemary Clooney in the early 90s here in San Francisco. She was big as a house and her voice was gone but she still gave a wonderful show. The audience loved her. I was very glad to have been there.

I am really not a music critic but I think it takes an incredible amount of guts for a 70+ year old lady to get on a stage alone and belt out a few songs. For that alone - BRAVA!

I confess, I was fully expecting some "Mamma" vs mummy jokes.

Wow Sorry to get that news.

Um, is she flipping someone the bird onscreen? She scratches her chin with her middle finger several times.
