great performance!i love liza minelli and specially natasha richardson,but this woman has a style of her own and her movements are so classy and sexy!
Both Liza's and Rachelle's are great in their own right. Liza gave meaning to the piece while Rachelle took it and amplified it with the right amount of sexuality and feeling
I don't care about her pronunciation and I certainly don't want vulnerability in this song - that's definitely not what it's about. It's about passion, boldness, sexual confidence, and humor. Rachelle Rak nailed every one. Spectacularly.
for those who haven't seen the film or play, the character singing this song is an American whose German isn't very good to begin with, and it stands to reason that she would perform the song with a sexy American accent versus an accurate German one. So don't let the words cloud the message and enjoy the song! excellent work imho
@ifeeltiredsleepy right that's what i was going 2 say. in the movie version they took some liberties and that's the one i'm more accustomed to (my dad was big on show tunes - don't say it i know you're thinkin' it) Either way, she's NOT German :)
her german "lieber" is strange^^ she must have pronunced it like the "e" in "Herr", then it would be perfect. but she still is very very cool and good!
If people don't mind me say so. Bob Fosse were really a man who understand how to appreciate womens sexiness probably.
I mean, Hollywood mainstream is filled with sad men who pops hot women in everywhere and idolises them, Bob Fosse was probably pretty obsessed by women also, it happens with some men. but he presented their sexuality and a mans obsession with them in a way that genuinely is sexy and I can appreciate and deal with. just watch "All That Jazz" if you want to understand what I mean
I think Rachelle did very very very VERY good. But i prefer Liza's version better. The choreography is a little different here and the tempo is a lot slower it added a good 30 seconds on. I still like this version a lot but Liza's is better sworry
Actually, this choreography is not adapted from the Broadway musical. It is the choreography of the movie. Fosse, unfortunately, did not choreograph the stage musical.
She's got some amazing pipes, but I have to admit, I immediately reject any attempt at singing Sally Bowles without an English accent. In spite of the hack job the movie did on the story causing the world to believe the contrary, Sally Bowles is supposed to be English and the main protagonist, Cliff btw not Brian, is American.
j'ai dansé sur cette chanson en cours de danse. En playback. C'était jsute superbe et j'ai passé unmerveilleux moment grâce à cette fabuleuse chanson !
We must know that Liza WAS NOT The original Sally Bowles and shouldn't be a standard (i'm not too fond of her myself). I personally think this is a much better performance and is more suited for the stage where as Liza's performance was best for the movie
The orchestra is all over the place, first crawling at a snail's pace, then moving way too fast. The singer over-enunciates every damn word and totally ignores the coquettish sexuality of the song in favor of showboating. And where's the passion, the fire? The choreography is too polished and lackadaisical. I know it's not supposed to be a carbon copy of Liza's performance, but this still could have been much better.
I've seen Rachelle perform numerous times and she is a very gifted performer. Always felt she could have really made it if she had found the right musical vehicle.
Rachelle Rak is amazing and you can't compare people to the originals because they'll never be the same, plus how do you know if you had seen Rachelle first the tables would have been turn?
This woman is dragging the tempo, Liza was perfect. And Liza was much cuter, fits the character better. Oh and this one says "Bye-Bye mein Li-Boo-herr" Wtf?

The one from the film hasn´t been bettered yet because, it my opinion, it not only had Liza but, most importantly, it had Fosse to direct it.

@MikexDuh This song is from the film version though, where Sally is American. It's a bit complicated because she's British in the stage musical.
