She originaly sang it

I have to definitely give this one to Liza-- Frank Sinatra is legendary and wonderful, but Liza just OWNS this song!! :)

[Harshan Ram]

The best rendition so far to date, even though this is Sinatra's best as well. But Minnelli nailed it.

Never knew this song was meant to be happy. In Crysis 2's trailer, it was quite sad.

"Start spreading your legs, get eaten today!!"

[Gabrielle Creston]

Everyone always thinks of Frank Sinatra.

This scene will always be in my heart, she's amazing...and the movie too.

[Jennifer Young]

Seeing Liza perform this song live is simply awesome, that is all.

I understand that this song was written for Liza and now that I've heard it I can tell that the notes fit Ms Minnelli's voice like a glove; beautiful. Mr Sinatra is a great singer but the notes don't fit his voice. Great song.

La canción fue creada como tema principal de la película homónima de Martin Scorsese. En la película, la canción era interpretada por Liza Minnelli. Este filme no obtuvo el éxito de taquilla esperado; sin embargo, la canción adquirió fama internacional tres años después con la versión de Frank Sinatra. Su letra, de tono entusiasta, expresa los deseos de triunfar «en la ciudad que nunca duerme».

No tears here; this is unfortunately an AWFUL film and a completely uninspired scene. Liza live is much more interesting that this canned performance. And as far as 'camp' goes - this is anything but. Dull as *#%^

Well, Ownership or not the song was written FOR Liza and nobody can sing like her. Saw her live again a few nights ago and she still kicks it.
