I juse keep thinking that of all the people that has the simple surgery that Andrews had, and come out perfectly fine......those docs screw her voice to beyond reperable. I really hope she got a major settlement from them as going from a 5 octave range to not even 1,must have been life altering. Yes, she still acts, but her thing was the voice! A gift from nature! She seems, though, to have made the best of it and does what she can and for a woman her age, is so busy! What character!

I would go watch her read a dictionary.

Not even kidding. Love.

at least she still can sing to some extent and she still sounds awesome..at least she didn't lose her voice completely..she is blessed even if she has to sing lower than she normally did..

This tansmits to me that she really wants to sing again. It makes me cry. I really hope this is just a beginning. Miracles do happen. Let's pray.

@DelightfulProduction That was really hard to watch. It should be her singing.

[Jadeslippers]

Oh man I'm glad to hear her sing again

@Iranaa I saw her in 'Victor/Victoria' on Broadway and though her voice was showing her age, a bit, mind you, only a bit, (plus she was beginning to have 'those' vocal issues) we just sat there, mesmerized that we were seeing the woman we loved when kids. 'Mary Poppins' was always a favorite though it came out b4 I was born and Maria in 'The Sound of Music' might be sugary sweet, but we need some sugar these days. We were in awe. An experience we'll never forget. C-L-A-S-S! 100%. And looks gr8!

Here we see a trooper. I watched it again and realized that she is, truly a trooper, a survivor. She is, even at an age when many retire. going forward, now an alto, using her marvelous acting ability to get through a sing talking/singing. I am sure that the docs who performed the surgery which took her voice are reticent with guilt (insurance paid their law suit so they personally lost nothing) but knowing that they killed a 4 octave voice created for musical theatre, they will carry to death.
