This was not over acted. It was specific and committed. Bold acting is effective if it is motivated and telling the story. And also when it is feeling the emotion or condition instead of playing the emotion or physically commenting on the idea of being "drunk" or "mad"

This woman is brilliant.

This is pure genius ... fucking fantastic !!! Brava !!!

@DivaBehavior I agree on your compliment towards Gish; she isn't overacting! she's the best!
On the other hand; should anyone who actually lives this misery daily sing about it?
Isn't it just plain painful to sing about your every day misery???
I think I love gish as well, but I sure hope she lives a live that doesn't has anything to do with this clip...

not a big fan of her held notes with no vibrato especially the lower ones-without spin they seem to sound flat even if they aren't....all that aside-i like her-shes feisty! get it girl.

It's not overdone! She's drunk, hurt and despises the reality she lives in, I think it's perfect.

You know, with all the different view points on this piece, it's nice to see so many opinions. All of which are just that. Opinions. I personally enjoyed her performance, and I respect the fact that other people do not. Keep on rocking, oh awesome Theater lovers!

Over-done, I'm afraid.

When I first start watching this I thought it was a low budget, community theater production because the acting is so overdone. I felt there was no focus in this performance, just a woman ranting on stage and not getting the point of the song. I don't think Joanne's primary emotion would be anger. She appears angry on the surface, but underneath, she's frustrated. This is not a simple ranting song, it's a woman coming to terms with her own demons, which I didn't get at all from this performance.

Why is she ape-ing Elaine Stritch's interpretation of the song?

Some people are saying that Gish is over-acting -- I disagree. This is coming from someone who lives this song daily. The way she pompously satirizes the "Ladies who lunch" and the "girls who stay smart" and the "girls who play wife" is perfect -- And then she retreats into self-loathing and disgust at 2:35, but quickly covers it with a cheeky smile and bashes her own self and how she has nothing better to do than find other people's flaws when she's the one with the real flaws. Terrific.

Brilliant alcoholic rant of self-loathing. Favorite version. The final drink is a perfect bit of acting.
