[zarzar17]

I remember seeing her at the 02! So glad I went! It was an amazing night! She is such a wonder to this world! Julie Andrews is one of the people you'll never forget even when she's gone! Shell ALWAYS been remembered! Haha in a funny way she's likey nana :)

[kilijin1233]

i love her sooooooooo mutch and i am going to say it. i wish it was me who had that surgery and not her. Love you Julie fore eaver!

[spotoftrouble]

I love how her love for singing hasn't stopped her. She's an inspiration :')

[jeijeich]

This tansmits to me that she really wants to sing again. It makes me cry. I really hope this is just a beginning. Miracles do happen. Let's pray.

[Jadeslippers]

Oh man I'm glad to hear her sing again

[sarmadasco]

Here we see a trooper. I watched it again and realized that she is, truly a trooper, a survivor. She is, even at an age when many retire. going forward, now an alto, using her marvelous acting ability to get through a sing talking/singing. I am sure that the docs who performed the surgery which took her voice are reticent with guilt (insurance paid their law suit so they personally lost nothing) but knowing that they killed a 4 octave voice created for musical theatre, they will carry to death.

[JRobbySh]

Nothing lasts forever, and every surgery is chancey. Fran Sinatra, I think, had an operation and its changed his voice. He was devastated, I understand, but than he adapted his style, With Nelson Riddle came his best music. There is more to singing than a voice. I think I have my facts straight, although this comes off the top of my head.

[rachlovesmoony]

I would go watch her read a dictionary.

Not even kidding. Love.

[egames170]

I just love her speaking voice, I could listen to her read the dictionary.

[babehurst88]

@egames170 haha I know.

[sarmadasco]

I juse keep thinking that of all the people that has the simple surgery that Andrews had, and come out perfectly fine......those docs screw her voice to beyond reperable. I really hope she got a major settlement from them as going from a 5 octave range to not even 1,must have been life altering. Yes, she still acts, but her thing was the voice! A gift from nature! She seems, though, to have made the best of it and does what she can and for a woman her age, is so busy! What character!

[katebushboi]

@sarmadasco I agree that what happened to her was awful, but I don't get that the surgery was 'simple' or 'routine' (as Andrews herself once said it was in an interview) - there is nothing routie or simple about vocal fold nodule removal, it is slightly risky surgery and is only ever used as a last resort.

[Iranaa]

I would give sooooooo much to see Julie ones in my life :D

[sarmadasco]

@Iranaa I saw her in 'Victor/Victoria' on Broadway and though her voice was showing her age, a bit, mind you, only a bit, (plus she was beginning to have 'those' vocal issues) we just sat there, mesmerized that we were seeing the woman we loved when kids. 'Mary Poppins' was always a favorite though it came out b4 I was born and Maria in 'The Sound of Music' might be sugary sweet, but we need some sugar these days. We were in awe. An experience we'll never forget. C-L-A-S-S! 100%. And looks gr8!

[babieeweirdoo]

if julie was in her prime singing the part of the red heads there'd be no competition i miss julie's voice, she's just so amazing <3

[shiichan32]

omg i luv it hehehe

[checkerboardkidd]

This makes me want to cry. I love you Julie!!! I would die if that ever happened to me.

[DelightfulProduction]

It makes me so upset to watch this.

Look what those surgeons did to her... They practically ruined the most esteemed and fabulous actress and singer of an era.

We are just so fortunate that Julie is so wonderfully resilient.

Bless you Julie :)

[Tiwaking]

@DelightfulProduction That was really hard to watch. It should be her singing.

[vanessafabulay]

That she can sing at all after such a botched surgery is a miracle in itself. She is worth every cent to see her just stand there.

[NYCprincess7]

Shes one of my favorite singers!!!

[NYCprincess7]

Julie Andrews is like a real Disney Princess in a way:)

[wakeup90]

She manages one very strong alto, I suppose...

[SinclairisCool]

Good old Julie!! I think that she shouldn't worry to much about getting her soprano back. I think she should focus on developing her alto and should keep training. Love her.

[Operalover12002]

I believe Julie's optimisim even after the tragic throat surgery has led to this concert. Medicine keeps progressing and it helps her throat begin getting back the nightingale voice she had.

Personally, I would like her to return to My Fair Lady with the role of Mrs. Higgins.

She is mature, graceful, and witty enough to play it.

[AlexH2906]

@Operalover12002 she did lose her upper register....so (most likely) no more nightingale but at least she can sing alto stuff again....

[anddlizzle]

And I still think she's amazing

[csi189]

i think that her voice

will always be there

[DannyHiggs]

Is that Christiane Noll? It looks like her, but there are so few close-ups.

[lovingelibaigel]

@DannyHiggs - yes, it is Christiane Noll!
