  • I disagree with some of the comments. While Elaine Stritch is fabulous and did originate the role... Carol Burnett does an OUTSTANDING job interpreting the song, and her singing voice is much better than Elaine's. And let's remember that it's Sondheim, which is a bitch to sing for even the best singer.

  • Anna Kendrick does a short version on "Camp". She sings it wonderfully.

  • i saw this at music box theatre, her skirt actually came down that night, what she did, her improv, makes her the funniest woman ever....next to Madeline Kahn, true genius

  • Burnett's interpretation is extremely moving and accessible, and takes this song to a different level.

  • @RachelWolfMusic na the best was Barbara Walsh.

  • Love this interpretation of this sad song. Burnett makes you understand the lonliness and desperation of these women.

  • @RachelWolfMusic Agreed!!

    

  • Her top is fabulous as well as her voice. She's amazing.

  • God this woman is amazing. 

  • She's from annie, right?

  • @pudgeuncle but you were talking about Faith Prince....

  • @murbuzz And your point is? And I fully realize that this is Carol [no e] Burnett having seen this performance live. I ADORE Carol Burnett more than any performer of al time.
