Well those people certainly have nerve don't they? She spent her entire life singing, lost her voice, spent time THERAPY to deal with the loss (I would have too, and I don't even sing for a living) and still managed to pull herself up by the bootstraps to do a concert-yet those ungrateful jerks want there money back?  Julie Andrews is a living legend, and I would pay money just to watch her stare at the audience in silence. Stupid-did they really think she would sound 25 again?

Of course she's not going to sing the vast majority, she's only going to sing as much as possible. She had surgery because she had to have it. Losing her vocal ability was and still is completely out of her control. Like a lot of you are saying, at least she did sing a bit and all in attendance got to see her perform regardless..be grateful.

@Ali74: The history you are so proud of is not all that glorious but pretty bloody and ugly, literally, even by British English. To continue to display that pride publically is ignorant and quite freaky. Although you may say and think whatever your education allows you to, do not expect the rest of the world be quiet and agree with you. The truth, however, is that a significant part of the world civilzation has been significantly damaged by the imperial Britain. It is quite a shame.

@Ali74 : Also during the same period, British stole or robbed numerous arts and artifacts from China, Egypt, Greece, Rome, France and other places, destroying and ruining numberous in the process. These are stll occupying most of the British Museum in London. Greece has requested the return of stolen goods for decades and has been refused. An orator of the museum shamelessly said, "If we return these to Greece, then we have to return others to China, to Egypt, etc. We would have nothing left."

@Ali74: About the British civilzing the world. In 1840's they introduced and helped popularization of opium in Asain Counties. During the same period in Beijing, British burned the world's largest complex of palaces and parks and gardens built by men. The fire lasted more than seven days and nights. The fire destoyed the natural habitat of many wild animals. As a result a deer-like species extincted, only a few survied and were taken to London.

@Ali74: My point is Britain today is no longer as significant as a world stage player as it used to be. However, I am not less a fan of Queen Victoria, Dickens, Shakespeare, Bronte sisters, Jane Austin, Winston Churchill, Lawrence Olivier, Julie Andrews, even Huge Grant ... ...

Please do not point to the grammatical error in my messages. I already knew.

@Ali74: Just to let you know, I won't be able to write to you any longer. I find you are defective in logic and deduction. And you do not seem to be educatable.

I wrote these notes to avoid misunderstanding by other readers with the capacity of logical thinking and deducing.

@Ali74: As for my using the language, it proves the greatness of the US and Canada today because I studied the language for graduate studies in the US and Canada, not in Britain.

I am able to write in another four lanuages including Spanish and French. This alone does not prove any of these countries's greatness today. By the way should I use any of my other four languages here, would you understand?

@Ali74: When Susan Boyal first appeared in Youtube, the loudest praise from Britain was "She made it in the US." "She made it in the US over night." She accomplished unthinkable by making it in the US overnight, a feat, Robbie Williams tried more than a decade and failed again and again." Does this mentality of a sign of a great country? Yes, it is a sign that the US is a great country and a sign that Britain has become as proud and as inferior as a few other English speaking countries.

[jeijeich]

@Ali74: So the fact that non-British speak English does not prove Britain great TODAY. Popularity of English is largely due to the prosperity of the US. To cling to the idea, you have to dream that the US would not be over polulated by Spanish speaking people.. And you have to dream that the US continue its greatness. It is a lot to dream.

For further evidence, to make it in the US is the dream of many, if not every, British, the most obviously the entertainment industry.
