@h0wud0in2 If you think about it actually, English is a beautiful language! I mean the way she sings per-pen-dic-u-lar...it flows really well, it's such a soft language. It doesn't matter what language it is in as long as you understand context and emotion.

damn english... sing in the language it was written for!!

What a voice
-
She went to my High school. That's good enough for me.

wrong wrong wrong. I think Ms mullally is very talented but Weimar Weill is not Stephen Sondheim.

For the arguers: This song has been sung by Polly OR Lucy depending on the translation. In my travels seeing and hearing it is usually for Polly the leading lady (e.g. In the Alan Cumming recent Bway revival; Raul Julia '77 on Bway; Sting '89 Bway). However, in the famous '50s Blitzstein translation it is done by Lucy.

She has a wonderful voice, her songs are all beautiful. Does anyone have these songs?: Bathroom Window, Ode to Billie Joe, Fancy, My Dear Companion, The Grand Tour, Up A Lazy River, I Cannot Justify, Wind And Rain, For The Good Times
stellar voice, divine woman.
