2009-06-08 - Strange Liza Minnelli at the Tony Awards

[UnionBoi]

This just shows that Stern doesn't know anything about talent or Broadway. Sad to bully someone like this. I understand that Stern is only famous for being a hater - but this is just sad. I've seen her in concert 4 times and every time has been a fantastic show. Liza is more of a legend that Stern and his hater posse will ever be.

[22kellyjean]

you guys pick on her so much!!!! but there is a reason why she is still winning tony awards

[cjacja21]

They are just being mean for no reason what so ever. Liza is a Legend, yeah she is eccentric, but so what. She has won all major awards going, am all for constructive critism but this is just slander. We wouldn't want Liza any other way.

[Thezillionth]

She shounds jusht like a mixshture of Nixshon and shumshing dieing.

[PutnamForever]

Oh, Howard, and your witty sidekick: It's so hard to live up to your incredible coolness. I'm sure Liza - who has more awards than you have nose hairs - is wringing her hands because you don't think she's "relevant." If only she spent as much time as you and talk radio do trying to stay on the cutting edge. She would be so much more meaningful and affecting. I'm hardly the type of person you want commenting, so I'll leave, but on my way out, please kiss my pert 28 year-old, Liza-loving ass.

[cjacja21]

@PutnamForever Great comments! Liza is Liza, she is not going to change and we wouldn't want her too.

[healthhaterxx]

Musicals are so terrible. such an ugly style of music such a soulless pretentious obsolete medium thank god musicals became publicly synonymous with gays so there is less pressure for most of us to pretend to like them in order to appear smart and cultured. If only jazz country rap death metal and latin music could be co-opted by gays as well. New yorkers should stop pretending broadway is cool or smart. it is crap it has less universal appeal than Canadian folk music.

[JOEYGOLDCOMEDY]

@healthhaterxx wow----Nail.Head.Hit! One of the best commentsIve ever read

[kalindoscopy]

wow. who listens to howard stern for entertainment?? sad people

[less01]

ur mean people.... it sad... those ae the bad things about free speech iguess

[itshoved]

LOL @ 3:26

[musiclover8671]

also howard stern and stupid bitch talking u need to go back to watever fucking gutter u cam from no one wants to hear your ugly sleazeball voices

[musiclover8671]

the woman is in her 60's and starting to slow down shes won every award there is too win and she did have brain encephalitis so you have to give the woman credit she had to learn to sing and walk and dance again so yea shes still great though :)

[cjacja21]

@musiclover8671 Excactly, maybe that is why her speech is slurred, I think she is remarkable.

[bradly2007]

what an ugly viper...with that awful mop on top of his head, not one to talk about others...and that lame sidekick is disgusting and pathetic...get a life losers!

[BlueKyne]

LOL Liza sounds like Curly freaking out when she sings!!

[JOEYGOLDCOMEDY]

freds 3 stooges clips work so fuckin perfectly!

[Constavlos]

oh this was good, robin was uncharacteristically brutal here.

[holdm30]

All that is missing is that sound effect that Fred plays with the dog howling...that would have been perfect!

[realboinkable1]

we can't all have hair as beautiful as howard and robin! his looks like arm pit hair from the 70s & she looks like gary coleman on prednisone. i never really understood how people can live with themselves making a career of making fun of folks who actually have real talent, 'specially someone like liza who's considered by millions to be a living legend. can't say who's worse, howard, who's like a talking shit with pubes on top, or that swollen shiny moon-face who gets paid 2 lick his ass.

[TheMatthew2424]

meh....dont listen then....no one will miss you....

[realboinkable1]

i DON'T listen 2 howard stern. i dont think he should be so cruel 2 people who never did anythng 2 harm him. and from ur reply 2 me u seem 2 b a very rude person 2. its clear ur a person of very low quality.

[bradly2007]

well said & good to see others view this loser pair as the morans they are ...robin is an embarassment to her race and the whole human race for that matter...she cackles at any inane comment the creepy baftoon makes & shows how empty headed & ignorant she is...they are a sad pair and at least their hideous faces are no longer on TV...yuck!

[Shaunfan1]

Do they know Liza had a brain disease that affected her speech?

[CSPATL]

She still has her moments...  The Tonys was not one of them! LOL

[Dash171]

At 0:19 Artie says, " Aw, that's so great."

Is he referring to passing out due to pills or the Tony Awards??

[musicalrobkey]

Her talent will be remembered long after Stern's was never discovered!

[Dibrini]

I hate to say this, but I don't think Judy Garland was ever this crazy!

[MisterMusic91]

I'm sorry, but this was done in very poor taste. Anyone who finds this enjoyable is pathetic. Cortes is right, and people really shouldn't comment on things they know NOTHING about. It isn't becoming... I look forward to the day when Howard gets encephilitis, knee and hip replacements, and wins a Tony, this way we can all laugh at him...

[Italiabeefy]

Howard Stern and all his assbags can go to hell!

[cortesalexander]

Howard didn't even see our show, so how fair is it for him to even comment? A tiny bit of research would disclose who Kay Thompson was, & what a fascinating woman she was. Howard & his staff are about as riveting as a hairball.

[markysig]

Liza: "Cortesh, you're a beautiful man, you let thoshe Shtern fansh know they're a bunch of SONSH OF BITCHESH!!!"

[TheFlashRepublic]

love liza, but this IS funny. the guys who get all upset here must just relax. and yes liza is amazing.

[elturquito]

Howard Stern himself is a Moron. He also ridiculized Judy Garland laughing at her problem with alcohol and pills. Now he laughs at Liza's health problems. He's a stupid as well as those who laugh with his jokes

[OhhMercy]

Lol wow, how can you guysh defend this performansh, it'sh really awful. Get sherioush.

[someymehra]

she sounds like sylvester the cat

[MasterTubeTheatre]

"This is...this is jusht exquishit!"

[markysig]

"Shtop it, you Shtern bashtards-Tiger Martinesh and my fansh are FURIOUSH!!!

[TONYFROMWESTSIDE]

This is absolutely ridiculous. You people have no fcking idea! This woman IS relevant to today - she did a one woman show that she has toured for the past 2 years. She won the Tony award for it - and her Sydney concerts sold out in 2 days at the Opera House.... I wish you morons would fck off!!!

[hiladz]

lol these guys that leave messages on here are something else!! lol- liza is worth millions of dollars- i cant believe you are even questioning what she is!

[OhhMercy]

Haha wow, she's AWFUL.

[glenno121]

What gave you the right to go on about Liza like this!!!

you guys have no idea how successful and talented she actually is!

you have nothing compared to her...you sack of low lives!

Grow up!

I'd like to see you attempt anything shes ever done!

[sugar240682]

WELL SAID!!!

[eltrut96]

Man...That lady needs to give it up. That was fucking horrible...lol

[aminmontrose]

Oh, we forgot... Outside of the 4 Tony Awards, the Academy Award, Her Grammy Living Legend Award, Her Peabody Award and Her 4 Golden Globes... She has 2 Emmys too!! Haha Really inconsequencial star...

[sugar240682]

She's actually won A LOT MORE awards of the years aminmontrose! But you've made your point. Half these morons are just trying to bait Liza fans, best to ignore the low lives. Sadly this generation is a cynical and rather joyless one. I avoid the Howard Stern fans as best I can.

[saruman84]

Robin, you're not funny! You add nothing to this bit. Keep your mouth shut!

[s0undtribe]

LOL @ awards. Who the fuck cares about awards? No one respects or likes liza except for gays and faghags.

STARS ON THE WALK OF FAME ACTUALLY PURCHASE THEIR OWN STAR YOU DUMB FUCK. LOOK IT UP.

She's never won a real grammy Living Legend isn't a real award, it's not for anything she's actually specifically done. she's never done anything respectable.

The tony's aren't real awards.

There are thousands of artists who are more loved and sell WAY more tickets and albums than her. Get over it.

[sugar240682]

Well UM I'm a straight man with a wife and kids and I'm a huge can of Ms Minnelli. I think she's a very VERY talented woman with one heck of a voice. Questioning sexuality, which no doubt you will resort too is so redundant in 2009.

[sugar240682]

Last time I checked... Liza Minnelli has a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. Last time I checked, she just won her 4th tony, not to mention all her other awards, oscar, golden globes, golden balls! She's an institution, whether you like her or not, you can't say she's not popular here or that she's not got a HUGE fanbase. Stern was desperate for material, this isn't even funny, sorry.

[alpuretim]

Is Soundtribe trying to be a jerk? How is Liza Minnelli "outskilled and out talent"?? She's an academy award winning actress who's name is recognised internationally. Dude - if you don't like Liza Minnelli, sequins and show tunes, move on with your life already! But don't speak for America! LIZA IS HUGELY LOVED

[aminmontrose]

According to S0undtribe, Liza isn't a big star in the states... To my understanding she's won A Living Legend Grammy Award, 3 Golden Globes, 4 Tony Awards, A Peabody Award AND AN OSCAR!!! I think there are only a few artists who can make that claim, and you can count them on one hand.

[pbunting]

Also, Liza Minnelli is the only Academy Award winner whose mother and father also won Oscars. No other Oscar winner has parents who have also won.

[OhhMercy]

big deal

[pbunting]

In the entertainment industry, it's a huge deal. You're no big deal. That's the real meaning of your comment.

[paulsimpson123]

judy never won an oscar award sorry u r wrong

[MissDellaReese]

Actually, she did. She won a Juvenile Academy Award for her perfomance in the Wizard of Oz.

[paulsimpson123]

that is not an oscar so you get your facts right!

[MissDellaReese]

A Juvenile Oscar, is an Oscar. A special award given BY the committee, so IT IS and Oscar.

Perhaps YOU should get your facts straight.

Come on, I am waiting for your next witty rejoinder. I can practically hear you searching for it.

[paulsimpson123]

it is still not a proper oscar it is completely differerent

[MissDellaReese]

It's not the same as winning an Oscar for Best Lead Actress (which she should have won for "A Star Is Born"), yes, but it does still count as an Oscar. So yes, Judy is a recipient of an Oscar, perhaps just not the one she craved for. But it is tricky, as Shirley Temple got her Juvenile Oscar replaced with a normal-sized one. O-O

[paulsimpson123]

yes well poor judy was always last in the queue!!

[damone77]

no, you're wrong! She did in fact win the Juvenile Academy award! Check your facts before dissemenating erroneous info

[BELTERFAN]

who are this persons? and why are they making fun of one of the greatest and biggest artist of the shobizz. How sad is it?

[s0undtribe]

You must not be from America. Liza Manelli isn't even close to the greatest or biggest artist. Not even close. There are thousands who have outsold and outskilled her.

[aminmontrose]

"There are thousands who have outsold and outskilled her" LOLOLOLOLOL

S0undtribe can you name JUST TEN artists that have won A Living Legend Grammy, 3 Golden Globes, 4 Tony Award and an Oscar. PLEASE, DO IT!

[66hourenergy]

Ooooh!!!

[slayer544]

she sounds like blue iris when she's catching her breath lol

[aminmontrose]

It's so wierd, they clip they play, everyone is laughing WITH Liza and on her side. They're like the highschool bullies trying to make fun of someone.

[s0undtribe]

Not really. HS bullies put people down who are already down. Howard puts people down who are successful and loved by their audience. Theres a big difference.

[aminmontrose]

OMG! Really? Now that makes it soooo coool! Thanks for explaining.

[alpuretim]

LOL. Just ignore him, he's probably a single, spotty teen living in his parents basement, like most stern fans. haha

[Androx]

mmmm i'd to see howard stern sing anything ike that. and do tours and dance and do well....and shred of anything liza has done. obviously vocally tired here. but she still brings what she's perfected and that's why people love her and see her.

[pbunting]

I LOVE LIZA and I LOVE HOWARD ! They're both great talents in their own right. I know and appreciate both of them. Robin, on the other hand, is useless and just plain lucky to be there.

[s0undtribe]

everyone hates on robin but the stern show would be garbage without her. howard talks directly to her throughout the ENTIRE show unless hes directly addressing someone else. he bounces everything off of her and they have quite a chemistry for radio. there's been plenty of times robins missed work and the show is noticeably lacking. Robin isnt lucky to be there, howard is lucky to have her. same with fred.

[aminmontrose]

To repeat xluckdayx: "this clip is simply beyond disrespectful. The reason she has a slight lisp is because she suffered from viral encephalitis a few years back, she had to learn to speak again!" I am not shocked at Stern, just at the amount of support he gets from jobless, 20 somethings who live with their folks on YouTube.

[catfacecathead]

Fred has the best timing with his yowling sound clip.

[hiladz]

I have never heard of these presenters and probably no one in any other country apart from america will know of them either and they have the balls to try and knock a performer that is world known like liza minnelli! Also do they realise how much money a perfomer like this makes for the country in taxes etc?

I never find ignorance or uneducated people funny!

[hiladz]

I have to say as a radio broadcast this has to be one of the most hideous i have ever heard. These people think they are funny in their ignorance- they think it is funny they dont know anything about the tonys or about liza minnellis show or kay thomson- isnt that their job to know these things and give an educated opinion?

[iowejf]

theatre is fucking retarded. if you have dedicated your life to it, your life has been a total waste. sorry.

[Baldmelon]

You probably couldn't get a fraction of the audience Howard does and that burns you every time you return to your crappy radio station?

[xluckydayx]

This is typical Howard Stern.. nothing new. If he doesn't find a woman attractive enough to sleep with.. he'll talk crap about them. GOD BLESS LIZA MINNELLI! A LEGEND!

[RadioactiveReviewsTV]

You're wrong, though. There are plenty of women Stern admires and respects whom he does not want to sleep with, some of whom he has as guests in the show (Rosie O'Donnell, Joan Rivers, etc.) It's just that he find Liza Minnelli to be a very odd person, as do a slew of other people in the world, including me.

[xluckydayx]

It's fine to not like Liza.. but what they do in this clip is simply beyond disrespectful. The reason she has a slight lisp is because she suffered from viral encephalitis a few years back, she had to learn to speak again! Is that funny? I don't think it is. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.. a slew might find Liza odd but a slew think she is the greatest performer to grace a stage! Watch Liza in her prime (1970's or 80's).. More talent then Howard has in his little finger!!!

[catfacecathead]

Watch out, my friend - by asking Howard's audience if it is funny you are inviting a certain response.

Howard's little finger happens to be one of his more talented body parts, actually - that and his lightswitch of a penis.

Baba booey!!

[xluckydayx]

And Liza and her clique are the strange ones??? Perhaps it is Howard and his fans who are the odd ones.

[tattypatty]

Who into this shit anymore other than fags and hundred year olds...

[BeatleBabe]

Oh, screw you Howard Stern!! You do NOT know what you're talking about. At ALL.

[princessjoots]

What he is actually saying sound like compliments to me...!

"There is nothing like her in this world"

"There is just nothing to explain what is going on with this woman"

"She IS her own planet"

"You have to be in Liza's World to get it"

Those are compliments!

Basically she is too original and unique for them to get their heads around..... so they make fun. They are testifying that she is larger than life!

[markysig]

Artie: "She's like Ralph."

[JoanJoannaStef]

F*** You Howard Stern & crew!

[cryptsub]

HAHAHA! Broadway is dead.

[MasterTubeTheatre]

"Cortezsch!"

[disgustika]

On with the shiouww

[confuzn]

She is washed up people... the only ones that are in love with her are the Flamers. Even regular gays hate her.

[isaacblue]

This Howard Stern show is so depressing and so unfunny as it simply regurgitates all the usual cliches and misinformation about Minnelli. What's hilarious, in fact, is Stern's ineptitutde - he doesn't even know that Liza was there at the Tony Awards because she was nominated and WON. Stern and his on air cohorts remind me of 16 year old boys who laugh uncontrollably from seeing a guy slip on a banana peel.

[jesterboy555]

Artie is annoying because all he does is act like an immature kid who has no self-filter. He prides himself for saying whatever's on his mind that might get some shock laughs.

But hey, that's why you listen to Howard Stern!

[jms8888]

Who cares about the Tony awards other than you? Better yet, who cares about any awards show? It's all a bunch of garbage.
