Look, Lorna is good, she will never be Liza, Liza is great, she will never be Judy. Judy is the best and no one was better.

[firefliesuk]

imo Lorna has a far better voice than Liza. Even Judy thought so. But that isn't the issue. She isn't trying to be Liza..or Judy.

[sonia175]

O please,Judy was not the best judge of her children talents-she was sure that Joey was smartest boy on earth...Her relationship with her oldest daughter was so complicated and feeling of guilt was so huge that she rarely talked about Liza at all.Sadly,Judy's name is the only praise Lorna can hide behind because the rest of the world had made it's choice about who is better performer Liza or Lorna.And no Lorna's fans (all 5 of them) who dutifully patrolling every site in internet can change it.

Why do Liza/Judy fans feel the need to slate Lorna? As I said... IMO Lorna has a far better voice than Liza. I don't attempt to speak for 'the rest of the world'

@firefliesuk liza (who sadly has no voice anymore; despite what her die-hard fans may say) had a sound of her own, and a stage presence that was nearly as captivating as that of her mother... lorna just doesn't have that little something that makes a star... she's the pinnacle of mediocrity... and can't convey emotion with the fiery, passionate intensity like that of judy or liza... and her vocals sound like an amateur impersonation of her mother... like a karaoke bar cover of her mom's music...

[firefliesuk]

@TheDaguerreotypist We'll just have to agree to disagree

This family is unreal!!

[lornafanuk]

I was there that night & Lorna was the best singer out of the whole cast!!!! Luv ya Lorna! xxx

[ferbrinner]

Each time I hear to one of my favorite songs and performed by the unique Lorna, I cry. Because if you are not sure to be yourself, you just gotta listen to this. Pure magic, pure music... pure Art.

[RratsArtStudio]

I didn't know Lorna could sing....and she's great! Why didn't she make a career of it I wonder. Lorna, please call me so we can plan a lunch together and chat! Can't wait to see you!

Lorna can sing for sure & has a lovely sound, but my LiZa captivates me & i'm transfixed by her

[bradly2007]

Lorna is awesome & sings "I've Gotta To Be Me" with passion and vocal brilliance that is the hallmark of her amazing family...Bravo Lorna!!!

[ajgroelant]

STOP STOP LIZA IS WONDERFUL AND LORNA IS ALSO WONDERFUL JUDY WAS WELL JUDY. LIZA HAS WON EVERY AWARD KNOW TO MAN AND FOR THE PEOPLE THAT SAY LIZA IS DONE WELL SHE JUST WON HER 4TH TONY IN 2009.

A really superb voice and good performance here.

[Tiffanynicolina]

She has Judy pipes...as does Liza. No need to trash either one. Even thought they have different styles,,,both have inherited singing talent from their great mother.

@sonia175 The absolute irony of this conversation is that you accuse me of being a child, yet you have responded with nothing, but infantile and immature response: "You're a stupid poopeyhead!" Grow up lady...
