  • I have to agree with the "speed" comments. And it's not like it's a secret or she denies it. Just glad she got off them and didn't totally follow her mother's path. Talented lady.

  • @911insidejo8 Um... showtunes and Broadway ARE popular music... and how many dozens of movie musicals have been made since the end of the silent film era?

  • With performances like these, I bet she never had to hit the gym.

  • I'm exhausted!!!!

  • There is NO ONE like Liza!

  • she is a genius...

  • Now that's how to sell a song! You go girl, you go!!

  • Liza Minnelli. High Powered and Spastic. God I Love it!!!!!

  • Liza Minelli at her best is scary!! Who can aspire to equal that fire and controlled brimstone on stage? Minelli proves she is a contender! Love Streisand. Love Garland. Love Gorme. But OMG Minelli!!

  • nice songe from brodway musical Gypsy!!! :D

  • FORCE OF NATURE!

  • WOW! There's no topping Liza with a Z!

  • She's the only performer I know who gives 1000%..... there's no one better at entertaining than Liza!!!

  • Vive Liza!!!!! Simply wonderful.

  • If she can breathe at the same time she sing and move like this.... she might be god

  • SO Sad !! Obviously coked out of her mind in this clip.

  • @longshotbrtn You know what's really so sad, people automatically assuming that powerhouse, prodigous and God like talent like this, must be an effect of coke!

  • what a legend

  • Love to see Liza do a revival of Gypsy someday.

  • She's wild but I love her ! And this is from the 70's? 80's? But if you watch the version posted by inonemus that is somewhat recent you can see that she still has it. Amazing. I wish that her mom had lived to see what an amazing performer she became.

  • She just makes me smile....heart heart heart

  • LOL! I love her leg stompin at 2:19 and the hair flip right before LOL I love Liza. She puts it ALLLLLLLLLLLL out there.

  • I am in love with liza!!!

  • toooooooo manic for me

  • I love Liza...lol so energetic!

  • liza on crack?

    lol... really I'm a great fan of PERFORMERS.... she is in a class of her own.

  • holy crack pipe batman, well for a cabaret it pwned.

  • @VTMCompany let's put it this way, she's on fire!

  • Either you love it or you hate it, and most importantly, it doesn't matter. This one is in a class all by herself.

  • i love it! Most amazing performer alive today.

  • Absolutely amazing...the best in the business!

  • Jesus H Christ.

  • well, shes definatley on something. brilliant thoughnot many people can preform like that.

  • Holy SHIT, LizaMay.

    That was intense. And amazing.

  • DIVAAAAAAAAAA

  • She´s the best!

    her parents were the Best!

    she grow with the BEST!

    Lover Her for the results of that!!!!

  • amazing.

  • Holy Shit, this is amazing.

  • God,shes so talented. I cant decide whether I like her version or Pattis better

    Theyre both so different

  • Pure amphetamine. Terrific!

  • Oh, Liza. What would we do without you?

  • after watching patti lupone's Madame Rose, this is a little like the punk version.

  • how can anyone hate this? she's fucking amazing. she reminds me so much of judy here. gotta love it

  • Wow! She's a bundle of talent, personality and charisma. There aren't any performers like this any more.

  • she def. sounds like her mother in this clip. Love judy and liza.

  • me too. A shame those around them let them fall without a care. Grrrrr.

  • A National Treasure, she is. (hate the negative comments too)

  • So fierce.

  • haha she's a great singer, if not a little spastic ^_^

  • Liza: You are the BEST!

  • Electric!

  • She is chock full o nuts! But I love her.

  • LiZa is the greatest and this performance is awesome...Bravo Liza Mae!!!

  • This is definitely one of my favorite songs that I've ever had the priviledge to see Liza perform. She is so exciting and charismatic. Truly one of the greatest performers ever. Thanks for posting this.

  • It's funny because I used to sort of ridicule show tunes and entertainers who were more broadway-based. I used to say "who the hell on earth would pay to see Liza Minelli?" But I watch this with an open mind and she really is very, very talented. I mean I never realized it because I was kind of close-minded.

    Showtunes and Broadway - it's just a totally different genre than popular music and film.

  • @911insidejo8 That's very nice of you to say. That's the power of Ms Minnelli! :)

  • she looked really good here

  • I love her doing this. It is really a wonderful interpretation and "reading " of the lyrics. It is a shame that it is orchestrated so frantically....and that Liza over does the raz a ma taz.....but maybe that's cause it is a concert performance. She would have made a brilliant Rose at one time...too bad it never happened for all the various reasons we have read about.

  • This girl's got HEART!

    JM

  • Yeah, the girl's definitely got heart!

    JM

  • LIza is excitement and electric! My heart races when I watch her....so that says something about her performances.....not to mention, she always reminds me of what sunshine feels like on my back....Just damned good!

  • she was 23 when her mom passed away

    in 1969 this is how she always sings this

    she is the best

  • Liza knows.

    A staple, of her repitoir,-

    up to Her,

    Liza knows..!

  • not a fan of this tempo. i also don't like the original tempo, i think patti's tempo is the best.

  • they are also two completely different kind of singers. judy had softer voice, while liza has a big belty voice, very different, but both very good in my opinion.

  • watch cabaret

  • i think someone had a bit too much sugar before performing lol i LOVE liza!!!

  • lol

  • I think she was on speed in this video.

  • This video never gets old... HILARIOUS!

  • She is a little bob-y but she's Liza with a Z so who cares!

  • wow you can tell she has passion. i love her.

  • maybe her motions are crazy, but listen to her. She's good.

  • just like her mother Judy Garland

  • The energy she releases serves perfectly the purpose of the song

  • is she drunk?

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    im sorry i loce Liza sooo much!!!

    but you have to admit this is hilarious!!!!

    If you think this is amazing

    get the sticks out of your artsyt ass

    and look at what's going on in front of you.

  • I agree with you 110% xD I'm laughing my ass off right now xD

  • yeah because judy never had substance abuse problems

    oh wait

  • yeah because I that's exactly what I said... I know she did, but at least Judy had real talent and even if she was on something like Liza is here, she could still perform. Are you going to tell me that you like this performance? Because if you do, then something's wrong buddy.

  • Ok so, we all know Liza was on something in this performance but I think I should rather like to have some of what she was on. I've seen some people's performances and this one is more fun. I think the tempi helps because some performances move like a dirge.

  • i see it, but its liza, she could pee on stage and i wouldnt care, lol

  • no one else sees her drool on herself and wipe it off ONSTAGE at 1:02? Is that just on my computer?

  • hey can u guys see it? she is an AMAZING dancer!!!! she rlly is! i mean many stars i love r really great singers and f course they can feel the rhythm of music played. but LIZA!!??!?!??!?!?!!! wow!

  • I've loved her since Cabaret and the girl can still tear the house down. Go Liza!! You're fantastic.

  • Oh my goodness. That was insanity. It was like she was afraid to stop for fear her head might roll off.

  • yikes - wait til she crashes.....look out below....

  • I'd kill for that pantsuit!

  • 1:35....."Photograph in front of the Theatar"

    She was definitively was trippin on something. I love Liza, this video makes me laugh EVERYTIME! I saw Gypsy a few weeks ago with Patti, and Patti was Superb,

    I would pay more to see Liza, just for laughs

  • I love har energy.... That diva can BLOW! I LOOOOVE HAR!

  • I love how she does this on My Favorite Broadway: The Leading Ladies with the exact same movements.

  • its so cracked out. lol i love it!

  • yesss

  • Dude. She's CRAZYYY.

  • she looks sooooooo coked up !!!!! I LUV HER

  • who was she honoring?

  • i love when she says "theater"

  • The best!

  • ESA ES LIZA!!! LA MEJOR POR SIEMPRE

    +

  • I meant God bless you Liza!

    My fingers type the other automatically I'm afraid!

  • Liza has such passion and most of all HEART!

    God bless you Lisa! JM : )

  • Always one of the most exciting performers, ever - makes me want to stand up and cheer!

  • gee liza, don't hold back or anything.

  • LOVE YOU LIZA IN UPSTATE NEW YORK!!!

  • wow! that was fun and that girl is terrific!

  • pure energy..you go liza

  • the outfits a little....distracting eeeee:P

  • I found this video a couple weeks ago and I watch at least once a day, very good performance.

  • Lol, this is how it is SUPPOSED to be performed and sung. It only looks strange if you don't know the context of the musical it is from.

  • What amazing energy!!!!

  • if you look away from the monitor you think it is Judy Garland... well she inherited her mothers voice

  • Helen Keller could tell it's not Judy, IMO.

  • Don't get me wrong, I think this is fantastic though.

  • She`s done everything she could not to ride her Mothers` coat tail. As well as her Fathers`. Who was just as talented, if not more so, in a different light. Here....she neither looked or sounded like her Mother. And more people have recorded her Mothers Music than liza could ever imagine.

  • WOW she is amazing!!

  • You`ve tried them enough to know?

  • Holy cow. I like Liza as much as the next guy, but this was a disaster. She is so clearly coked out of her little mind. She is singing so fast, you can barely understand her.

    Too bad.

  • Do you have proof of this accusation? Or can I cvall 911 and tell the POlice I suspect you are not only on crystal Meth but you`re acting like it....I THINK.....

  • damn!!!

    she was sure into that song...not that she sung it bad, but damn...

  • Are we all perfect? This woman made mistakes like everyone else. BUT SHE WILL FOREVER BE MEMORIALIZED because ofg talent. And not sitting on her ass on a PC all day !!!!!!

  • My goodness...its cetainly high octane...no wonder she wore those poor hips out!

    But whatever...shes a great person and a sublime performer.

    xx

  • cocaine, perhaps?

  • buhahahaha

  • You would know because you use it?

  • gah I wanna see her live@!#$

  • She's AMAZING live! I just saw her last month, and boy does she still have it! It's horrible what some people are saying about her on here. Yeah, she had problems, but she faced them and conquered them...unlike today's hollywood starlets who are completely screwed up and worshiped anyways. Liza is so talented, and she's a wonderful woman!

  • She's a SHOWSTOPPER!

  • stop the madness Liza KILLED it, in her own...bizarre, over the top way. I loved it, it was sooo entertaining!

  • freaking amazing!!!

  • she has such a powerful voice

  • And...she used to be such a shy and quiet young lady lol

  • Holy cow that's UP TEMPO!!  Whew!! I give her a round of applause, arm flailing and all. She's on fire!

  • but thats why people love liza because she puts energy into wat she does she doesn't just stand there looking like ((why am i here))

  • I think the director of the show wanted to either cut the number or at least cut it down - so she lexiconned it.

    That or else she is on coke.

    I don't think producers wanted to risk money on her since "Rose" is such an intensive role: with Liza's record of missing performances, those who could have made it happen shied away.

    Shame - she would have done the role justice. I wish she had at least recorded a concert version of the score on CD...

  • Why in Hell didn't Liza make a point of doing the role of Rose? It might have made up for our not getting Judy Garland in the film version. I mean, can you even imagine how great Garland would have been in "Gypsy"?

  • thats what Liza does........

  • you should look up the song "Liza One-Note," the whole thing is Forbidden Broadway making fun of her. It's great.

  • That's it - they messed up the opportunity to see this Great Performer and Actress do this show. What's new?

  • I'm tired just watchign her.

  • Okay, thanks Liza. Good take. Let's try it again from the top--a bit faster please.

  • my this was fast! haha, she's amazing.

  • Folks, if she could've held things together, she would have been a Mama Rose for the ages. This is also the quickest tempo I've ever heard on this song.

  • The greatest performer I have EVER seen.

  • how GREAT

  • Take that Britney Spears!!!

  • Liza is soooo good here ! Great performance at her prime !

  • Someone should show this to that talentless bimbo Jessica Simpson who gave a woeful tribute to poor Dolly Parton....

  • BRAVAAA!!! That's how its done!!!

  • does anyone know who she was honoring? stephen sondheim? brilliant.

  • She is absolutely fabulous!!!!! She has all together: carisma, talent, voice, power!!!!

  • fabulous performance

  • dios vendiga esa voz

  • Absolutely amazing!!

  • I just love her~~~

  • NOBODY is ever mistaken for Liza or vice versa.

    So many other performers are 'like ' someone else.

    Not Liza.

    No, she's not 'perfect'. But she sure is unique.

  • there are two n's in Liza Minnelli

  • Wonderful, first time I see this perfonmance, still My favourite one is the Some People at the 'live inNew Orleans'concert

  • SHE IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE COMPLETE ARTIST STILL ALIVE.

    I saw her live last week in Madrid and I have been seeing all this videos and feeling emotional and crying because one of my dreams in life has come true. See her live. I cant believe she came to Spain. She is the best!

  • I almost went to the Barcelona concert, had to come back to UK.... hope she pays us a visit sopon, haven't seen her since 'Liza's Back' in 2001...

    I bet she was good in Madrid???

  • photograph in front of the theatah!

  • ...but some people ain't me!

  • I'd like to see Patti LaBelle play this role. Why does "Mama Rose" have to be White? Let's think outside the box!
