This performance puts Diana Rigg and Dee Hoty to shame. Kelly Ground is waaaaaay better! You go, Kelly!

[lbjb247]

I prefer Diana's but this is a pretty good version

[east58street]

a very talented woman. however this is a song requiring nuance and restrained wit. Ms. Ground performs it with a brassy vengence, as if she were proving herself to a director she thought was going to cast her as Madame Rose... all brass and bravado. She is more a "Rose" than a "Phyllis".... and I'd buy a ticket to see her in GYPSY

[BonniePLC]

Well done indeed!

[GameShowGuy]

What a great song! Clever lyrics, great piano, fun performance.

I worked with Steve last summer... small world...

this was a fantastic performance, sondheim women never really have good voices, but u get the full package here. go girl!

I now want someone to do a medley of "The Story of Lucy and Jessie," "Uptown, Downtown," and "Ah, But Underneath."

[lovesmusicals]

This was recorded live (not in a studio as was Diana Rigg's rendition) and as part of a concert, not a production of the London "Follies." I think this amazing woman should be a star on Broadway!

This woman is brilliant. Diana Rigg wishes she could sing and perform like this. Hell, Diana Rigg wishes she could sing, period.
