Just you Wait - My fair lady

[Falean]

What the hell does work for unicef and 'beautiful' character have to do with her singing ability . She wasn't right for the cockney role. Celeb worship is insane. Stop taking so personally.

[glamatomic]

Julie Andrews was/is incredible :) Great rendition of this song!

[joroserocks]

I love this song! Thanks for posting. I love Audrey Hepburn. This is her best role. But I prefer her/Marni Nixon's singing. I love Julie Andrew's voice, though. I could listen to it for years.

[JohnnyGNV]

Technically, Audrey Hepburn did most of the singing of this number in the finished film of MY FAIR LADY.

MARNI NIXON came in on the Bridge portion of the song to help Audrey Hepburn out.

If you listen to the original soundtrack CD of the movie, you will notice quite clearly that on this one song, Audrey herself did most of the singing herself.

[veryfunny125]

Julie andrews has a better voice but Audrey Hepburns voice for Eliza is SOOO much better!!

[nemocatherine]

I like movie version with Audrey´s voice more.. Julia can sing more than Audrey but Audrey was better as Eliza Doolittle

[obiwanobiwan13]

The whole Audrey vs. Julie war is a lot like the Elaine Paige/Susan Boyle war; it's perpetuated by those who choose to ignore the talent of one and trumpet the other to a ridiculous level.

Did this role originate with Julie?

Yes--and nothing will ever take that away from her.

Was Audrey good as well? 

Yes, she was.

Who was better?

Personally I think both have strengths (Julie has the better voice, Audrey a bit more grounded in her acting) and prefer Julie, but BOTH are SUPERB...

[gillgott]

I loved watching this! The combination of Audrey's acting and Andrews' voice are perfect! Thank you :)

[JenaJinxed]

Ew. Julie said "Henry" in the beginning, not "'Enry."

[emmadilemmasings]

@JenaJinxed In her defense, Julie had a perfect cockney accent, but she was told not to use it for the musical because it was too good and the New Yorkers couldn't understand.

[BrokenButDivine]

In the movie they left Audrey's original voice for the chorus of the song and Nixon sings the "melodic" part.

[BrokenButDivine]

In the movie they left for first part of the song Audrey's original voice, Nixon sings the "melodic" part.

[ginalou15]

Audrey Hepburn is the most beautiful woman i have ever seen. She has the most amazing inner beauty that has never been seen before or since.

She is my biggest inspiration and the reason i, myself, became an actor. x

[SENTERSJA08]

as it should have been

[perfecttense]

Audrey was beautiful inside as well as out. Don't diss her please. She did good work for unicef.

[oxnerd]

oh man i couldnt imagine julie sounding all annoying but now hearing this she can truly do anything!!!

[Rudipolt]

Fine Song!

Thanks for posting!

Aloha from Hawaii!

[AmericanEvita]

Julie Andrews ORIGINATED the role of Eliza, the role was written for HER....she was Broadway's best at this time (Camelot, The Sound of Music, etc) Marni Nixon did a terrific job of dubbing Audrey as well. Audrey's natural voice was only an actress' voice - not a singers voice. Her best singing is "Moon River" in Breakfast at Tiffany's

[jkoff76]

You have to admit, she still did an amazing job in the movie though!! :)

[FrankClanton]

Hepburn was FAR too old for the part and couldn't sing for shit.

[jkoff76]

Yeah, that would explain Moon River and why Henry Mancini wrote it specifically for Audrey; Don't get me wrong I love Julie Andrews and wished she had gotten the role, but Audrey was hardly chopped liver!!!

[FrankClanton]

The cancer-ridden slut Hepburn couldn't sing at all because she sucked her way through SIXTY cancer sticks a day.

[Thejokerjuniorshow]

@AmericanEvita although she was in the first production of My fair Lady, she didn't originate her character. Eliza is also the main character in a play called Pygmalion. The play actually inspired the musical. It's actually more powerful than the story of My fair lady. If I could, i would get the rights of the script to Pygmalion and the songs from my fair lady and do a mix. that would be awesum! XD

[MegaloSaro]

@AmericanEvita

Actually bro, the role was written WAY before she was born.

Look into a play called Pygmalion

[AmericanEvita]

@MegaloSaro The MUSICAL was written for Julie Andrews. I am not talking about the character or the play. The character as seen in the musical. That is so clearly gonna be written for whoever FIRST sings and originates the role on Broadway. Just like Sarah Brightman originated Christine in Phantom and was written for her. We are talking Broadway here. Julie Andrews is the biggest name in Broadway and always will be

[wincipoet]

@AmericanEvita Totally agree :)...

[mmasny]

@AmericanEvita She did not originate the role, nor was the role written for her. She was however the one cast for the role in the 1956 Broadway musical.

[mark121959]

good job. You did a lot of work on this video and it is very impressive.

[hlhiggs87]

I love Julie Andrews!! Her voice is fabulous:)

[Sub40H]

Great job!

Though I personally feel Marni Nixon was a bit better than both.

[AnaBelMagicalKingdom]

Julie Andrews sings too beautifully! And she sings with emotion and passion! She was an amazing Eliza Doolittle. Audrey Hepburn was also really good but I'd prefer if Audrey had sung instead of Marni Nixon because Nixon's voice is really lovely but sings without... charisma and stength while Audrey could have sang it with Eliza's emotion, it's obvious Audrey's voice is not as melodic as Marni's but it would have been better.

Julie is still my favorite as Eliza...

[Qualitylucious]

yea julie andrews sounds stronger and more sure of herself. she has a fabulos voice. i so wish i could sing like that!

[caprice6]

Julie has fire over Marni Nixon in this song, you can hear her anger

[PeterFirthFan]

Hepburn was too old and fucking AWFUL.

[MLroxsursoxs]

um..........she wasn't too old.......she was only 35. but she wasn't tooo tooo awful...she was ok! not the best!!! Julie was better! julie was the youngest stage actress to perform eliza doolittle profesionaly! i'm happy for that! i don't know why the decided to do Audrey! how is she perfect for the part? i dont' know! all i know is that audrey knew that julie was perfect for the part but she just couldn't turn the oppertunity down!!!

[MysteriousNights]

I think Julie Andrews was a much better Eliza than Audrey Hepburn, not that Audrey wasn't good. I think the part just suits Julie more.

[trevorb6]

I wish Audrey Hepburn had a singing voice like Julie Andrews. Wouldn't that have been lovely?

[MLroxsursoxs]

that would be lovely. but i wouldn't say it was lovely. i would say it was loverly! her voice isn't so bad. if she worked on her voice, she just might.

[caprice6]

Audrey Hepburn did sing for My Fair Lady and was shocked, hurt, upset that her voice was dubbed by Marni Nixon.

[trevorb6]

I did not know that. Thank you. I now wonder whether there are any old tapes of A.H.'s performance laying in some vault in Hollywood somewhere. I'd love to view the film with Audrey Hepburns voice actually sing!

[caprice6]

Trevor6, I found out about this on TCM channel, they were discussing that Audrey Hepburns had actually had sung in My Fair Lady. They showed only one song, Wouldn't it be Lovely. Her voice is high Alto, rather soft.

[nerffreak1995]

Don't you mean loverly lol? And i understand what you are saying but even though julie has a beautiful voice, thats i why i prefer audrey over her for this song and wouldn't it be loverly because audrey has more of that akward and annoying voice going on that eliza doolittle needs.

[MLroxsursoxs]

true, probably cuz she put so much enthusiasm, and the movie, half was marni and the other half was Audrey. Audrey does the ''oo's'' differently as if she like, got an idea. julie does it as if like....um.....hard to explain, but she was more like youll be scared kinda thing. so ya.

[AnniPink5]

Haha. I love Audrey Hepburn and Julie Andrews. Julie is an excellent singer , and Audrey is an excellent actress. ( Not that Audrey isn't a good singer and Julie isn't a good actress)

[tessamri]

Marnie Nixon sang Audrey Hepburn's part. She was dubbed on those scenes.

[JohnnyBoy3034]

e-baller!

[anruiukimi]

Interesting, tweaking the video so you can use Julie's version to the movie. Not too bad.

[LeahQT]

i love it!

[spiderchic45]

if you don't like audrey hepburn then why are you watching this?

gosh asshole

[monowono]

I bet HenryCorbetson is really popular at school. (sarcasm) LOL

[coquelicotsteaparty]

Well, HenryCorbetson, since 99% of the world's population adores Audrey Hepburn ('tis a fact!), your disgusting comments mean absolutely nothing. Good riddance!

[TheRubySlipUps]

well look at the kettle calling the pot black! lol

[TheRubySlipUps]

andrews just doesn't sound angery to me and if no one here has seen funny face i suggest you see it. it is all audrey singing and it still is my favourite movie.

[Inesuks]

Too harsh... I like Marnies voice better - it has got the grace and elegance, even singing this song. :) In Andrews singing - it sounds like hate, in Marnie's - Eliza sounds like an annoyed, dreamy child, who in fact does not wish any harm. Like this interpretation more. It is deeper. To my mind, of course. But if some likes Julie better? Well - ok. Why not? :)

[Wisprsinthedrk]

I liked her danced all night. But I think Audery really had this song.

[Goddessdaughter]

There's a reason that this role made Juile a stage star.

[kijiji96]

Well it's not bad but ya julie andrews is alot better!

[Mwahohoho]

I'm sorry, but...using Julie's voice over Audrey makes this kinda sad to watch

[JoanCrawford1933]

henrycorbetson STFU! GET A FUCKING LIFE!!!!. AND IF I WERE YOU I WOULDNT BE WISHING CANCER ON ANYBODY IT COULD COME BACK TO U. KARMA CAN BE A MAJOR BITCH SO PLEASE DO US ALL A FAVOUR AND UR SELF SHUT THE HELL UP AND MOVE ON!

[chicago2]

Why does it matter to you then that Harrison hated Hepburn? Your just going round in hateful circles.

[chicago2]

Fun fact to everyone else: Harrison actually hated Julie Andrews when rehearsals started for My Fair Lady because she was terrible. She could sing the score, but couldn't act. He actually stormed out of rehearsals once saying he wouldn't return until she got better. Director Moss Hart shut down rehearsals for two days, spending every minute coaching Andrews on her performance. When they were done, rehearsals commenced, Andrews was great, and Harrison was at ease (until performances started).

[emmadilemmasings]

@chicago2 Yeah, I read about that in Julie's book. She said he would yell at her for an hour about how she was screwing the role up, she would run off to her dressing room and cry for ten minutes, and then she'd come back and it would start over. But that is INTEGRITY. I mean, wasn't she 19?

[Paramorerock77]

actually it was COLON cancer, so don't act like a big know it all because judging from what you've been saying about her, you don't know shit.

[chicago2]

Wow. Just wow. You are so incredibly wrong about Harrison, read a freaking book on this film and you'll know. Second, I just don't understand how someone can hate Hepburn that much. What has she EVER done to you? And if you say "ruin this movie" then you seriously need to get a life. If that is all it takes for you to wish cancer on an actress you have never met and don't even know anything about, then I pity you.

[Paramorerock77]

that person henrycobetson or whatever is really pissing me off. He doesn't know anything about Audrey, no one could hate her I'm sure. I mean what did she do wrong in her lufe, be talented and beautiful and help children for UNICEF! christ. thankyou for saying this though (:

[chicago2]

Wow, someone's a tad bit jealous. Just because you don't like Hepburn doesn't mean you have to say pitiful, not to mention untrue, remarks. Harrison did not hate Hepburn. Far from it. Everyone who ever worked with Audrey Hepburn had nothing to say but praises for her. You're probably one of the gossip columnists at the time who tried to spread rumors that Hepburn and Andrews were rivals. Both women are/were extremely beautiful and talented. End it there.

[chicago2]

I can't believe how uninformed a lot of people here are. Julie Andrews didn't get the part because she wasn't known at all, not to mention in her screen test, she was deemed "unphotogenic." Warner Bros wanted a NAME for the movie. It was either Hepburn or Elizabeth Taylor if Hepburn declined . Hepburn was marvelous either way. But she was NOT nominated for the Oscar, which was a big deal at the time. She was nominated for the Golden Globe but lost to Andrews. She was NOT nominated for the Oscar.

[Kismetico]

This is indeed the wonderful Julie Andrews - but the singing voice double in the film was Marni Nixon....(tho' Audrey did her best to have her own voice used,...it wasnt).Audrey still made a VERY fair lady!

[bensgirl29]

Julie lost the part to Audrey basicallly because Audrey was snubbed for the musical GiGi which Audrey originated in london ealier in her career so to make up for this they gave her the part of liza but if you pay attention Audrey was nominated for this role but that year Julie won the oscar for Mary Poppins i suppose this was the accamedies way of disagreeing with what warner bros. did

[HawarantenLoserClara]

That's completely false!

[purpleoliveoil]

I enjoyed this version a lot because it always bothered me how big the rift was between when audrey was singing and when marni nixon was singing. That eliza character was lost.. the squeakiness and mispronunciation whenever marni popped in. I always thought, "just let hepburn sing it!" I watch for her spirit not her perfect singing voice! But anyway Andrews is a perfect balance of both qualities in this recording

[Ely4nn]

Oh I have a question for you, luxman85 !

Where did you get that version of Just You Wait by Julie Andrews, because on the CD, there's another one ! Ö

I love this one too. I WANT IT ! ^^

Thanks.

[luxman85]

i did this video ;)

[Ely4nn]

Yeah I know that you did the video..

but where did you get THAT version of the song, because as I told, on the CD, it is not THAT version !

[PrincessPea13]

Yes Audrey Hepburn died on January 20th 1993.

[LiitOlzOeeDudiiee]

Okay This Is Wierd.

[xxyouroneandonlyxx]

May I ask...And please reply, this is for my garde 4 research...is hepburn dead? I can't seem to find out anywhere :S

I don't mind either version btw :D

[Paramorerock77]

yes she is, she died in 1993 of colon cancer

[ALFALFA00CORNELIA]

if you watched the movie with audrey, its her singin, not julie. Julie singing is obviously just recorded over this video. i watched this in cultural geography. just watch shanmugamlakshmanan video of this song. you will see the real video clip.

[adballet]

In the movie Audrey is being dubbed by Marni Nixon.

[Gellarfan666]

I still don't get why Julie lost the part to Audrey...

[Ely4nn]

She was working on Mary Poppins !

Which, I think, is a very good reason. ^^

Julie won the Oscar for best actress, where Audrey was nominated too !

Julie showed anyway what she was able to do with Eliza Doolittle on Broadway, so..

[HawarantenLoserClara]

Julie and Audrey were NEVER norminated for an Oscar at the same time! Julie won one in 1965 for Mary Poppins and Audrey won in 1953!

That's it!

[purpleoliveoil]

Audrey is so great at being this annoying little brat but could also do vulnerable because she's so eternally young and I always felt Andrews dominated too much in comparison. I like the idea of Julie being so great on the musical aspect though It feels more authentic. Plus she looked better next to higgens because there wasn't this huge (kind of gross) age divide.. but I'm definitely a loyal hepburn fan in the part :)

[MsSimrad]

@purpleoliveoil

Julie Andrews (born 1935) is actually 6 years younger than Audrey Hepburn (born 1929), which I think is visible:-). Audrey looked older than Julie. Rex Harrison was however very much older than both the young women (born 1908).

[emmadilemmasings]

@purpleoliveoil Which is weird, because Julie is 6 years younger! She was 19 when she played Eliza.

[wattever333]

@emmadilemmasings no she was 21. she was born in 35 and it was premiered in 56.

[extraviMaddie1234]

she didn't. they performed the movie at different times

[penguinlover389]

people should stop being so technical when they are watching movies

but this movie is really good!!!

"just you wait Henry Higgins!!!"

[iluvJDmothanlife]

I think she's a good actor but she needs to learn how to properly lipsink for a song like this! but i love them both

[xXBlackxRebelXx]

omg how come its so clear like as if it was made 5 years ago?

[jmiceli63]

Question why did you watch this video then before you make stupid comments think about how much of an idiot you look commenting a viedo of a person you hate. Hmmm seems very stupid when you think about it.

[xxxAnnAScoTTxxx]

Asshole

[audreychou83]

I hate julie andrews voice !!

[thisiswolfmoon]

well that's one of us.

[therequiembellishere]

Perhaps they mean her voice for this song, which admittedly isn't that great. Otherwise, she's marvelous.

[theotzaridis]

And that song just isn't her best. I have the soundtrack with her and Rex Harrison and she's fantastic!

[theotzaridis]

Marni Nixon's voice is amazing indeed and Audrey Hepburn's acting is very good. But Julie's movies are also very good, she won an Oscar and various Golden Globes!

[costumelady3760]

There is a huge difference between what kind of voice is needed for a movie and for live theater! Marni Nixons voice was amazing and fit Miss Hepburn perfectly. Julie is a great theatrical singer, and is better on the stage then in her movies.

[theotzaridis]

I agree that her singing is not as good as it mostly is. But listen to Show me. Julie Andrews is fantastic! And she has a beautiful voice as opposed to Audrey Hepburn.

[meroyn]

Julie Andrews and her posh accent just cant pull of Eliza Doolitle

[LoveMarilynMonroe]

First two seconds she looks a bit like Mischa Barton. Then I recognized her-beautiful Audrey Hepburn.

[peterpedro123]

This is NOT the ORIGINAL soundclip from the movie....on the movie Hepburn was dubbed by MARNI NIXON and NOT Julie Andrews

[Naxops2]

you are right, but I prefer Julie

[kitttykat96]

I hate this version of just you wait

shes so off tune

and off note she sings way to fast in this song

[Eightballlsss]

Yep im in the orchestra for our school... way to fast.

[roxyluv1707]

i prefer the version they used for the actual movie.

[japluspmc]

Oh, the dubbed voice is Mani Nixon, not Julie Andrews. I have found that there are many persons have that misunderstanding. Sigh.....

[luxman85]

i'm sorry, but i did this video. Not is the original motion picture dubbing.the real dubbing voice is Marnie Nixon.

[Alfcpy]

Actually- this is the song that is Audrey's real voice. They didn't dub it, except for the head voice bit.

I prefer Audrey's voice in the movie. She does the accent better than Nixon.

[charlexington]

Wait a minute. It switches back from Julie to Marnie when she sings "but all I want is Henry Higgins head". Wonder why. Anyway, Julie is, was and always will be the definitive Eliza. IMHO, of course.

[waliice]

i have to say i totally agree with you...Julie has a lot better voice and it suits the songs better than marni nixon's does!

[Poppins91]

I too agree with you two! Julie Andrews will always be Eliza Doolittle! She has the most glorious voice in the entire world!

[slant45]

yeah your right about that part in the song.woo thats weird, haha.

[horsegirl92]

It's interesting having Julie's voice in this- it's my life's ambition to track down the copy of MFL on Bway that Julie was in. In the mean time, I'd like to try dubbing all the musical numbers that she sings over Audrey and Marni in the film. :D I have no life.

[bea142]

I prefer Marni Nixon, personally.

I mean - for this movie.

I LOVE Julie in her other movie.

[luxman85]

me too...but it is an experiment..!

[vivica92]

now... THIS, is a good voice... I hoped she could play the character too....

[cazziekins]

Much as i liked AH how i wish that Jules had done My Fair Lady on film as well as stage ....i mean how stupid to sign up Audrey for the film and then have to pay Marni Nixon to provide her singing voice!!?
