[thereallyquitesimple]

In tears, guys. I'm in tears.

[mamie620]

i am in tears

[SopranoChick22]

Talk about two POWERHOUSES!!!!!! I LOVE them both :)

[jjustinaable]

There voices are amazing especially Audra's. Just one question: was Audra pregnant

[Britainn]

@jjustinaable If this was the end of 2000 or early 2001 yes she is. Because her daughter was born in 2001.

[ptulip]

any idea what year???

[LeanneJaseyRae]

My two favourite divas <3

[alfie4472]

almost as good as Barbra and Judy's version!

[orvgg]

Liza and Judy did this "mash-up" in London as well.

[omfgjb]

loved it

thanx

[mulioctaveman]

This is a rare video of Audra actually BELTING! Her voice is phenomenal.

[bigsick3270]

didn't julie andrews and carol Bernett do a faster version of this at Carnegie hall?

[mitchellivers]

@bigsick3270 Um, no. See below. Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand did it on Judy's TV show.

[bigsick3270]

@mitchellivers I'm pretty sure they did...i'm going to find it and show u

[mitchellivers]

@bigsick3270 I'm sure we'd all like to see what you find.

[swarze]

@bigsick3270 I'm rather certain Carol and Julie did NOT do this. This was a classic moment from the old Judy Garland show when Barbara Streisand was just beginning her career. Ethel Merman was also on the same show. Judy referred to the three of them as "the belters". Great stuff.

[chocolatesouljah]

@mitchellivers Right!

[kdchicklet]

AH-MAZ-ING!!!

[broadwaybabi91]

[uncletibs]

[bowtri]

[TheLibbypr]

Incredible. What a great idea to have the two of them recreate this.

[HerrWolf59]

OMG.. Yes,,,  nothing but Diva's!!!

[thespiania]

They are both so AMAZING!

[Neverforgoty]

Wow, the song is GOOD!!

[bigasista]

:0 omg amazing

[prozack1312]

I love them both so much! That's why I can forgive their pant-suits. :)

[mateo4707]

Wow.

[ferrierepc]

Loving it.

[leleco520]

my dream is to see audra singing I DREAMED A DREAM FROM les miserables.....^^

[BettyBlanca]

Does anyone know where i can find the sheet music for this Duet?!?! I really, really, really need it.

[skippyd89]

You get a copy of GET HAPPY. And a copy of HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN (two completely different songs written a few decades apart). Then you find yourself a good arranger and just put it all together. In other words, there is no sheet music for this duet.

[xxColorMeJoshxx]

they are great, but this is nothing compared to barbra/judy.

[blackberryjuice1]

I can die now.

[Mattboco2011]

Fantastic! But for a moment can we please notice what Audra is wearing...

[bcrocker33]

i had a suit like this in the late 90s early 2000s - it was all the rage for the office. lol

[anacrislima]

Audra never fails to amaze me!

[MissLuPone]

*dies* OMFG i love them

[spucky2]

nice try, but no one can beat the original.

[TandAofBWAY]

That's amazing!!

My two absolute favorite female performers.  Hooray!

[katiegiff]

This completes me.

[matt2themarr]

that's one of the gayest comments I've ever heard.

and so right. it completes me too.

[BrooklynJuilliard]

Audra and Patti are amazing! I love how they put both songs together!

[mitchellivers]

Well, THEY didn't exactly put them together.

The two songs were put together first for Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland...

[BrooklynJuilliard]

yeah I know lol! I watched that performance after I saw this.

[dormantone]

@BrooklynJuilliard This was Judy Garland's idea, according to Mel Torme's book. She conceived the idea of the two songs being sung in counterpoint to each other. Judy was a genius when it came to music!

[bloomdesl]

I love this-Stunning it is!

[brandonamagid]

does anyone know if this is a duet they performed at ravinia?? i cannot remember.

[cdmsinger]

i LOVE when audra belts. it's so damn amazing.

[ANewsom1980]

I think I'm in heaven...

[BloorigardEtcetera]

did the world, like... explode when they enteredn the same building? These two blow my mind.

[ReturnToTheSavoy]

watching broadway artists on rosie's show in middle school made me know i could be an actor. i went to nyu and i'm starting my career. thank you rosie!

[Selendomono]

did they ever record this? this is twice theyve done this (as far as i know)

[Selendomono]

i like it better than the streisand/ garland version.

[mitchellivers]

No, you don't.

[BernardProfitendieu]

no, you don't!

[crescendo518]

two of my all time favorite people together!!! this is brilliant!

[wckdthruxnxthru]

OMGGGGG AMAHZING!!

[kiaketa]

Cool !

[lizzie2522]

you really cannot get better than that!

[silverspringsrr]

Very lovely. One of the best things about the ROSIE show was the great theatre artists and performances featured during the run of the show. They should try and release a BEST OF BROADWAY collection of some of these great Rosie Broadway performances...

[Rosannasfriend]

they're a good match for sure. Two strong voices. :)

[hankm77]

Wow, that was fantastic

[alfieism]

wow, I think that's the closest I've seen audra come to "belting" until she switches into her head voice.

[Judill]

Of course, Audra never really "belts."

[johnmana97]

Nice duet. It was originally sung by Barbra Streisand Judy Garland on The Judy Garland. You may want to change the duet to this title: "Happy Days Are Here Again/Get Happy". Because it was a mix of Judy Garland's Get Happy, and Barbra Streisand's: "Happy Days Are Here Again".

[thespis148]

Audra and Patti are fabulous! Their energy and talent comes across just like it does at the theater.
