Judy Garland must be one of the most misunderstood artistes of all time. There are many myths surrounding the woman and her talents as a singer. I will just say this: When she was singing on her worst day her power and charisma outshone many a singer on their best day. Despite "vocal damage" Garland's phrasing and pitch were impeccable. Her duets with Streisand (and others) also demonstrate Garland's generosity to her stage/video companions. She was also a sensitive and intelligent woman.

Judy, Judy, Judy!! Love this one most of all!! I smiled the whole way through and when Seth did Barbra then Judy to show who was singing what..God, he is funny! BTW, did I see Jack last Sunday around 130 on around 43 and 10th? We wanted to say hi but seemed stalker-y. I am dreading the end of our 30 days, loving these so much. Thanks Seth!

Hey Seth, " vocal damage " or no "vocal damage " ... You are forgetting to mention a few of points about the duet..The MAIN thing is that you are NOT showing them singing in the first place ! The main fact however that you fail to mention is that regardless of what part of Judy;s career she is at there, ( one 2 years after Carnegie Hall ) she knocks Barbra out of the water in every aspect of the song !! Judy knows her way around the songs better , sounds better , looks better singing it ! xo

This man needs his own show. Very funny and a NY original.

I love the second song, "All By Myself"...I have Connie Francis singing it ....great!

Wonderful! And I can't believe Jack Plotnick was in your apartment--Girls Will Be Girls was great!

@hirchik I couldn't have said it better. Judy could always reach her audience and touch them even when her voice wasn't at it's best. She was a true performer.

Oh dear Seth, I wish you would deconstruct Dorothy Loudon's two versions of "Fifty Percent". You are brilliant by the way!
