I love Judy so much, but that belt was fake at the end, shes still amazing though. Amazing doesnt even begin to cover how much of an influence this woman is on me and millions of others.
Poor Monroe and Garland, such talented and fragile creatures, victims of fame and stardom functioning on methylamphetamines and crashing with barbiturates, seconal and alcohol. The unlimited budget of CBS offered Judy a whopping 24M. for a weekly variety show. i remembered this as a kid, she would often do the finale dressed as a clown and it was kind of sad.
While visiting Marilyn Monroe's crypt I turned around and noticed Mel Torme's grave stone a few feet away. I catch his daughter Daisy, co-hosting on PBS, and she a spitten' image of her father. Without Mel Torme', no "chestnuts roasting on an open fire" and then we wouldn't have Nat King Cole with us at christmastime.
i love judy all drugged out. i know it is bad. but it is so perkey and like when someone does alot of speed and extasy. if u think of it. proably all of them in the hollywood system at that time were all on speed( they were told it is medicine) and that is why they are all so up up all the time.
Note to acecrumpet: You seem to be quite sure of yourself . . . (I am a pianist and therefore should not, really, wisely challenge your view point). Thank you for the explanation. I deduce that you deem that the long held note at the end was re-recorded ex post. So be it.
Note to the person who posted this video: What do you mean "is it real?" I guess the man , the long (held) note at the end. Of course, it is real! This is called "circle blowing". It is a common technique for singers and trumpet players. Basically it works by dissociating the activity of the lungs, the nose, the mouth and the diaphragm.
@OgerManiak It is possible for wind instrumentalists to use this technique, but not for vocalists and here's why...
Circular breathing works by squeezing air out from your cheeks at the same time as taking a breath from your nose. This works for wind instrumentalists because instrument is external, and is therefore would be manipulated by such a breath. Whereas the vocal chords precede the mouth in terms of the passage of air, so air pushed from the cheeks would never reach them.
@OgerManiak The last note was not real - it would be virtually impossible (though it is claimed Farinelli could sometimes do 1 minute phrases without breathing, this is a claim not a fact and Garland was not - to the best of our collective knowledge - a castrato). But thank you for sharing your (wildly inaccurate) "knowledge" of the technique of circular breathing.

I want to say its really her holding the not but its not, just watch her fact and her diaphragm, she even takes a breath during the note, which unless she had mastered inward singing, would interrupt her note. Though beautifully performed by the two Miss. Garland must not have the lung capacity to hold a note perfectly for 41 seconds.
i love how when mel sang the line at 1:00 "i asked her name" judy quietly replied "frances gumm's my name." lol i had to go back and listen to it a couple of times to make sure i heard her right.. cute!
@cocolocof Hey it Mel could sing with Ella, he could sing with anybody. He had an amazing voice all his own. And he didn't like her for a lot more reasons than her rehearsal tendencies.
Mel Torme' didn't like Judy...mainly because she didn't like to rehearse ...But with HER talent, she didn't need to ...He mainly didn't like her cuz he was Jealous ...he shouldn't even be singing with her because he Can't...not like Judy ....so many haters and NONE of them could begin to have the talent SHE had ...xo
@maleficentdiva Yep. It's manufactured. That said, you may want to check out Johnny Mathis' live performance of, "Pieces of Dreams," where he holds a note nearly 30 seconds. For the male voice, that's incredible.
From this tape, though, Ms. Garland seems to rival Streisand, Ms. Houston and both Celine and Mariah for the breath control championship. Although, for anyone who wants argue, I'll point you toward vids on YouTube for which I'll argue that Whitney in her prime and Babs are contenders.
@lokijordan Whitney Houston ?! Are you joking ?!! To even mention her name with Judy Garland is Blasphemous !! Even Barbra couldn't touch Judy's Vocal Prowess ...Puhleeez ..LOL
That was from her show on CBS. Mel Torme was one of the writers. She was about 40. She aged so much in the following 7 years to her death. What a talent.
I feel so bad for her i mean she had really low self esteem i hope her trajedy became an example for ppl in the industry , because wut they did to her was cruel. Not to mention her evil mother who shoved her with pills , very sad. she needed help and no1 except her kids really gave her help.
you can tell whose the dumb youngins here from the older wiser music knowers by reading the comments, yes judy actually held the note! its called talent much of what doesnt barely exist today back then you had to actually know how to sing lipsyncing what next to almost not really done when can we have these good old days!
@craziestbxboy Next time know what your talking about before you put dowm a whole demagraphic of people. "dumb youngins" Yes Judy was incredible, but on her last note it was looped you can hear when it kicks in.
@craziestbxboy Actually I'm 30 years old and grew up during the hair metal and hip hop era. I've always had a great appreciation for the great talents that came before in music,movies, etc, My favorite actor is William Powell.
@archy2frank2 aaa ok great damn im 5 years younger i feel like im in the wrong era i like alot of the legends like mel torme, judy, frank sinatra, dean moartin, bing crosby you get it ;)
She looks pretty old. I didn't realized Judy Garland lived that long. Also Mel Torme doesn't look as Mel Torme-esque as he does in the MST3K movie "Girls' Town".
@DeleightofThere actually scatting which Mel was great at, is what Ella was the greatest at. Do be do be do- but fastesr or sometimes slower, and rapping is using actually words that rhyme.
anyone who thinks that was a recording is full of bologna. this is Judy Garland we're talking about - a famously talented woman who could hold long notes. she's not the only one who can do it. there was no need to use "technology" to hold the note, certainly not for a '60s tv variety show like hers. she could sing. end of story.

Doesn't get any better does it..both Mel Torm & Dame Judy G ...one simply cannot here this reparte with such expression, notes that are held into the heavens, lyrics, improv...MEL TORME doing his stuff while she holds that note...OMG..unbelievable.....THIS IS TRES INCREDIBLE.....these two GODS together...I'm beyond words...Thank you for posting...

Ah, it took me a while to remember that a trolley in the US is, in fact, a tram. I was thinking of a shopping trolley in a supermarket. It made no sense whatsoever.
@bribold - hahahah, once again 2 nations divided by a common language!
Actually the song DID make sense. The clanging sound is a now disused early-warning system to prevent shopping trolley collisions in stores. Unfortunately the clanging was SOOOO loud it made the autos in the carparks shake, setting off alarms everywhere. It didn't last but a few days. ;-)>
They actually make a good couple, there's a resemblance. In real life Mel worked on her television show and penned a fairly scathing account (The Other Side Of The Rainbow, 1971) of what it was like to work with Garland.His body language in this clip really conveys his ambivalence towards her.
This particular one is dubbed. You can see her laughing during it, and you can hear the awkward transition.
But still, that means she still sang that note before! She sang the 35 second note, recorded it, and lip-synched with it. Either way, she sang a 35 second note! Haha :)
@Markey0086 hate to burst ur bubble but take a look at 1:30. u can clearly hear where judy's live vocal is overtaken by the dubbed vocal. u can even see her breathing in and out by looking at her stomach during the note. still a neat idea, though.
I don't notice it, but it does not matter to me either way. She was known best for holding a note and belting. Was this a note hold? Who knows or really cares?
...I got the blues, here's more bad news: this little lady stepped upon my shoes. And now I need a (WHAT? SIGN?). CAN ANYBODY HELP ME to decipher all the WHATs? I'm not a native speaker, therefore I can't catch some of the words. THANKS!
I'm trying to figure out what Mel sings when Judy is "holding" the looped note. So far I have: "I got a wife and she's waiting, I'm gonna be in big trouble, cause I forgot to bring home the bread, milk and cheese (what?) What am I gonna do now, with this crazy woman? With her high starched collar, and her high topped shoes, and her hair piled high upon her head... oh boy I'm dead! Like I said! Look out now! (WHAT?) hey hey! (WHAT?) Better help (WHAT?) I'm in trouble now, what am I gonna do?...
milk and cheese and crackers...after the "look out now" there's lots of SKAT singing--he was famous for it (along with Ella Fitzgerald and a handful of others). Brilliant piece.
@BGDVA absolutely true! but what did the audience think? did they hear it? hmmm... it's definitely there though. ah well, judy is still an amazing singer even if shes gotta fake sometimes
@Jigglesw Umm, because the's cheating, that's what BGDVA was talking about. It's a recording. Still love ya Judy. In fact that might make me love you more.
@Jigglesw She isn't. The entire performance is real up until that point though :) This is tv. At the end she even keeps carrying it when it ends. :) Love this performance.
I don't care if they was a loop or not, I don't care about the fact that I read they did not get along and that Torme had a massive ego, blah blah blah.
This is such a fabulous rendition of the song. They have chemistry. They look at ease. They improvise.
I absolutely wish my singing were as casual as they both portray here.
How they played off each other! What a pair of true old pros. No ego - this fed upon one another. So much more pleasant than the me-me-me "diva" era we are in today. Attention rap and hip-hop music fans: THIS is fast-talking music that impresses me. Listen to Mel Torme. Years of mastering the Great American Songbook. Not the ignorant flatulence of most "rappers".
ha. i love her, she's amazing! although at 1:31, you can hear a significant change of tone when she says "line." that's what always made me think it was looped when i watched this vid. either way, she is both divinely flamboyant and flamboyantly divine.
This is NOT looped. She takes a breath at 1:40 and stops singing at about 2:00, just having her mouth still open but no sound coming out. (And trust me if Garland was singing you'd hear it.) Holding a note for 20 sec. is not impossible (though nothing to be scoffed at either) but it's certainly doable.
Judy looks VERY well here, and sounds wonderful. Of course the final note is dubbed--it was suppsoed to be jokey "comment "on her ability to hold big notes for real. Torme seems unpleasant.
Its definitely looped..... you can tell, Judy even starts to laugh in the middle of the note. But its ok, its judy! She can loop anything if she wants too :) either way, its a really really cute version of the song...
it's clearly looped, but nevertheless a very funny effective trick. She doesn't even catch a breath before and she sings a phrase right before that ends with the long note.
Circular breathing works for instruments when you breath the the nose and blow through your mouth. That techique can't be used for the voice since the air has to come from your lungs.
i have my headphones on and all i heard was her vibrato, which is supposed to happen when you sing. i'm 19 and not as well trained as judy and i can hold notes for around 35-40 seconds.
It is real. Holding a note for around 59 seconds is really not that big of a deal for acomplished vocalists. Operatic singers in paticular are trained intensly and have extraordinary control of their diagphram. For someone as highly acomplished and extraordinarily talented as Judy Garlands, this is a walk in the park. Only in comparison to todays pop singers like Rihanna and Britney, does this seem impossible.
Actually 30 or more seconds is a big deal and one minute is simple unheard of without circle breathing...calling it a walk in the park is quite a stretch!
There is a technique called circular breathing, so maybe she's doing that! She is Judy Garland! Who knows! I'm not a singer, but I am a musician, so trust me, it's possible, it just takes alot of practice and talent.
its hard to tell i thought when she breathed in the stumbled slightly aha thts aamzing if it is held but hmm maybe 'ill attempt it now see if its possible x
you can't hold that note, 'cause, of course, none here is Judy garland! She did it without any tick, because her natural vibrate in the voice. and in the other hand, if you see carefully, you can realiza how she breathed again while holding the note!
If you listen closely just as she hits that note, there's a slight difference in it which makes me believe that note was recorded and played on a loop. I don't think anyone could last that long without turning blue in the face...lol :)
Mel did the arrangements for many of the duets and musical numbers on the show. There was a lot of turmoil with changing of producers and format, but the music was classic and Judy, despite her troubles, always came through with outstanding performances on this show. She would've been better served doing 3 or 4 specials a year instead of a weekly show.
Who might be holding notes like THAT anymore? Anyone?....I thought not. YES, the GREATEST female singer of the 20th and now the 21st century...RIP Miss Garland...You deserve it!
Not only is the Last note a "Loop" but it's an obvious one, and doesn't quite match the pitch of the opening note - but, it's fun to see, and Judy and Mel were great performers.
I always get the impression watching their duets from her show that Mel Torme was always trying upstage Judy but he never succeeded. As great as he was, she was hands down the greater performer of the two in my humble opinion.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
grai: what drugs are u one? are u kidding .....she's not in Torme's league.....not even close...he's a musical genius.....she's a Hollywood & Broadway star..enough said..you should stick to commenting on something you know about
Do you know anything about Judy Garland's achievements compared to Mel Torme? (Who no-one has ever heard of?) Torme didnt have anything Like the track record Garland did - musical genius?? who are you? his dad?
NEWSFLASH!! people have different opinions from you!! - grow up and get over it

Actually the song DID make sense. The clanging sound is a now disused early-warning system to prevent shopping trolley collisions in stores. Unfortunately the clanging was SOOOO loud it made the autos in the carparks shake, setting off alarms everywhere. It didn't last but a few days. ;-)>

They actually make a good couple, there's a resemblance. In real life Mel worked on her television show and penned a fairly scathing account (The Other Side Of The Rainbow, 1971) of what it was like to work with Garland.His body language in this clip really conveys his ambivalence towards her.

No dubbed notes with Judy. Anyone that knows of Judy knows she was a belter and could hold notes longer than anyone. She did it often and on live TV.

@Markey0086
This particular one is dubbed. You can see her laughing during it, and you can hear the awkward transition.
But still, that means she still sang that note before! She sang the 35 second note, recorded it, and lip-synched with it. Either way, she sang a 35 second note! Haha :)

@Markey0086 hate to burst ur bubble but take a look at 1:30. u can clearly hear where judy's live vocal is overtaken by the dubbed vocal. u can even see her breathing in and out by looking at her stomach during the note. still a neat idea, though.

I don't notice it, but it does not matter to me either way. She was known best for holding a note and belting. Was this a note hold? Who knows or really cares?

I'm trying to figure out what Mel sings when Judy is "holding" the looped note. So far I have: "I got a wife and she's waiting, I'm gonna be in big trouble, cause I forgot to bring home the bread, milk and cheese (what?) What am I gonna do now, with this crazy woman? With her high starched collar, and her high topped shoes, and her hair piled high upon her head... oh boy I'm dead! Like I said! Look out now! (WHAT?) hey hey! (WHAT?) Better help (WHAT?) I'm in trouble now, what am I gonna do?...
ejgcarlos 2 years ago
"cheese and crackers"
"Look out now!" (bunch of scat singing)
"Better help or Mel Torme"
"And now I need a sigh"

if you listen carefully, when she goes to sing "At the end of the LINE", just before the word LINE, you can hear a recording of her voice kick in.

I don't care if they was a loop or not, I don't care about the fact that I read they did not get along and that Torme had a massive ego, blah blah blah.
This is such a fabulous rendition of the song. They have chemistry. They look at ease. They improvise.
I absolutely wish my singing were as casual as they both portray here.
They are amazing!!

How they played off each other! What a pair of true old pros. No ego - this fed upon one another. So much more pleasant than the me-me-me "diva" era we are in today. Attention rap and hip-hop music fans: THIS is fast-talking music that impresses me. Listen to Mel Torme. Years of mastering the Great American Songbook. Not the ignorant flatulence of most "rappers".

ha. i love her, she's amazing! although at 1:31, you can hear a significant change of tone when she says "line." that's what always made me think it was looped when i watched this vid. either way, she is both divinely flamboyant and flamboyantly divine.
chocolateapple 2 years ago
This is NOT looped. She takes a breath at 1:40 and stops singing at about 2:00, just having her mouth still open but no sound coming out. (And trust me if Garland was singing you'd hear it.) Holding a note for 20 sec. is not impossible (though nothing to be scoffed at either) but it's certainly doable.

Judy looks VERY well here, and sounds wonderful. Of course the final note is dubbed--it was suppsoed to be jokey "comment "on her ability to hold big notes for real. Torme seems unpleasant.
waif55 2 years ago
Its definitely looped..... you can tell, Judy even starts to laugh in the middle of the note. But its ok, its judy! She can loop anything if she wants too :) either way, its a really really cute version of the song...
moreau17 2 years ago 3
it's clearly looped, but nevertheless a very funny effective trick. She doesn't even catch a breath before and she sings a phrase right before that ends with the long note.
Circular breathing works for instruments when you breath the the nose and blow through your mouth. That techique can't be used for the voice since the air has to come from your lungs.

i have my headphones on and all i heard was her vibrato, which is supposed to happen when you sing. i'm 19 and not as well trained as judy and i can hold notes for around 35-40 seconds.
TheSkeletalBassman 2 years ago
It is real. Holding a note for around 59 seconds is really not that big of a deal for acomplished vocalists. Operatic singers in paticular are trained intensly and have extraordinary control of their diagphram. For someone as highly acomplished and extraordinarily talented as Judy Garlands, this is a walk in the park. Only in comparison to todays pop singers like Rihanna and Britney, does this seem impossible.
Teezer44 2 years ago
Actually 30 or more seconds is a big deal and one minute is simple unheard of without circle breathing...calling it a walk in the park is quite a stretch!
jalex11 2 years ago
There is a technique called circular breathing, so maybe she's doing that! She is Judy Garland! Who knows! I'm not a singer, but I am a musician, so trust me, it's possible, it just takes alot of practice and talent.

you can't hold that note, 'cause, of course, none here is Judy garland! She did it without any tick, because her natural vibrate in the voice. and in the other hand, if you see carefully, you can realiza how she breathed again while holding the note!

If you listen closely just as she hits that note, there's a slight difference in it which makes me believe that note was recorded and played on a loop. I don't think anyone could last that long without turning blue in the face...lol :)

Mel did the arrangements for many of the duets and musical numbers on the show. There was a lot of turmoil with changing of producers and format, but the music was classic and Judy, despite her troubles, always came through with outstanding performances on this show. She would've been better served doing 3 or 4 specials a year instead of a weekly show.

Not only is the Last note a "Loop" but it's an obvious one, and doesn't quite match the pitch of the opening note - but, it's fun to see, and Judy and Mel were great performers.
JohnnyGNV 3 years ago 2
I always get the impression watching their duets from her show that Mel Torme was always trying upstage Judy but he never succeeded. As great as he was, she was hands down the greater performer of the two in my humble opinion.
pal035s 3 years ago 5
according to David Shipman one of the biographers Judy was always aware Torme needed to be a smart-ass around her to re-assure himself
He's an OK singer but I wouldnt say "great" Certainly not in the same league as Garland by ANY means
He was much more insecure than Judy because of this and had a huge ego and this comes across
