[hopdoehop]

second

she is better than ever

as tears go by

this is a voice of life

of surviving

this old man loves Marianne more than ever

[2lovs4music]

Dam, Why To Singers Smoke!! She Once Had A Beautiful Voice! Maybe Too Many Drugs? I Love Her In the "60's"...........

[candybrae1]

[dabigjokeoftheday]

eee freeking gads

[kingtourism]

Are you kidding .... this IS WHO SHE IS. I love her deep gnarling voice. It is exactly as it should be ...years of pain, addiction and then - resurrection. PERFECT.

[chrixchua]

what happened to her voice?

[gybognarjr]

This is a disgrace

[KittycatWrangler]

Someone needs to tell this woman that her career ended forty years ago. This is down right awful.

[PhoenixGuy85006]

too short ......

[quenuca]

Thank you for ending our misery quickly.

[cristipardi89]

[Supermanbdude8421]

its kind of nice to hear her after all these years(just a little painful lol) , The  song hasnt changed just the person singing it has grown and matured and looks at things different

[Lancaster730]

Did she have her teeth in when she sang this one ??

[txquis]

I saw her in concert about ten years ago...yes, the voice was gone...but she still held us spellbound...one just can't look away from her when she is onstage.

[textsize]

Was she 17 when she sang TEARS? And she was fucking beautiful..

[dale1966gto]

yes everyone, we all get older. she may have aged a little faster than someone who hadn't done drugs, for instance. but hey, she cleaned herself up and made a comeback. you've got to give her that. thank god she survived at all....some of the drugs she undoubtedly passed out with in her system.

[quenuca]

@dale1966gto "yes everyone, we all get older."

True. But thankfully, not everyone continues to sing when they no longer can.

[E1415926536]

I think it is wonderful. She didn't really care for this song when she was 17 and an angel. But years later, when it is the evening of the day, she lives the song. It is very easy to like the debuting Marianne in her timid and angelic way 50+ years ago. But it reflects one's character to be able to embrace her as a person and to appreciate her path of survival.

[paulthepill]

ooohhh.....thats pretty sad.

[greglhalvorson]

does anyone think that this barflies voice is the same voice that recorded the original version?

[GraemeSTC]

She is now Marianne Frightful.And to think I used to fancy her when I was in my teens.

[Thistlesifter220]

You fancied her . . . LOL . . . you must be from England . . . I like that.

[east215]

i wanna cry - love her when she's singing the blues, but not this song. she sang like an angel when this song was originally recorded in 1965. she's a tough old bird. thank God she survived, but it's hard to see the contrast. Judy Garland was very selective about singing "Over the Rainbow" in her later years. On Judy's TV program, she only sang it once on Christmas. If Judy had lived she would still be singing certain songs, but "Over the Rainbow" would be rare.

[italiarovinata]

She has just lost her denture

[SeaWarriorSon]

Have pity for the poor thing. This is what drugs do to you. Kids should be forced to watch her doing the same song in 1965 vs. this video.

[DeaconBlues]

Marianne's cigarette-drenched croaking voice > any other women crooners

[hamtrak]

Yikes!

[chicoval45]

This is what 45 yrs of booze and dope will do for you!

[MNX58]

Bloody awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[GammatronTriode]
