Now that Whitney is gone can we please hold on to Mary and Aretha real tight and hopefully never let them go. Real singing touches you with a sensation that cannot be duplicated.

Ethel Merman created the role and therefore the song. While Patti Lupone does her own thing and channels Merman along the way, there will never be a better, a more spirited a more tragic interpretation of this solid gold show stopper which happens to be the final number in what is in my opinion ...

this song has been interpreted by many but this version by the incredible Rocio and the unforgettable Javier Solis top the list.

Well I have learned something brand new: I assumed that Lupe was Puerto Rican since my Puerto Rican friends introduced me to her and I even had the chance to see her in concert in Town Hall in New York before she died. She was a total artist, even in her final years and this is a voice that no on...

No matter what she sings, when Montserrat sings I believe that there is a God because this voice is the most beautiful gift ever given to a human being. Thank you God and Montserrat for sharing it with us.

Not only two of the greatest musical comedy actresses but exemplars of the brilliant

Fosse choreography which never ages. Beyond beautiful.

I went to this production four times: Gwen was in the first and last times and others in between (the second time Liza was sitting in the audience and the next day they announced that she would be filling in for Gwen).BUT Chita was in all four performances--I still have never seen her equal in th...

Godamighty she was incredible.

Her best song for me. She was so incredible--and in the long run so underappreciated.

This was a special voice from a special woman who stood up to apartheid in South Africa, among other things. Her voice reminds me of a single blend scotch over ice--smooth, warming and very satisfying.

@Ruby445 I like GnR although they are a bit over the top for me and I like the covers that artists do for earlier songs in general but this is a grotesque video whose meaning completely escapes me and while it is GnR's interpretation of the song, may I humbly say IT SUCKS.

If you don't like her enunciation or diction or tempi, go find one of the little soubrettes which seem to be bred in captivity, cannot be differentiated from one another, and whose moment(s) on Broadway will soon be forgotten and let the rest of us glory in the unique and unforgettable sound of a...

The beauty of this recording is not just the quality of McLean's voice but the incredible respect he shows for the original version of this haunting melody.

Fred Astaire is on record as saying that Rita was his favorite dancing partner, despite the fame he got with Ginger. Compare the two women dancing and you will see the difference and why Fred said what he said.

Cotrubas had one of the most beautiful soprano voices ever until that Fat Fuck (aka Jimmy Levine) ran her off the stage at the Met; Obraztsova is not everyone's cup of tea but I find that voice to be so exciting: it's like getting on a roller coaster and after all the falls and turns and mountain...

I saw her in Carnegie Hall a year or two before this and and I cried. Thank you, thank you Montsy for being in this world and sharing your beauty with us.

I am not a particularly religious person but when I hear Caballe I believe in God because only God could impart that kind of beauty to anything, including a human being. Caballe by the way loved Callas and all singers have their fans--it's musical baseball but for me Caballe is the voice that br...
