LiZa soars & gives a performance so magnificent & incredible that you never want it to end...too bad this was never recorded by Liza but this is wonderful to watch & experience over and over...Bravo LIza!!!
One of the greatest performances ever from the greatest entertainer ever. Wow. I was there that night, thank you so much for getting this, and posting it.
Liza Minnelli performance of "A New Life" is addictive & find myself coming back often for a fix...love that rich voice pouring out over what had to be an enraptured audience with such beauty filled with richness of emotion...Liza, you are magnificent!!!
MissLeanxx, your opinion is certainly one you're entitled to. My point is , after seeing / hearing Miss Minnelli a few nights ago @ The Palace, I only wonder how many of the 'better vocalists' mentioned have a snowballs chance in Hell of not only filling The Palace, keeping audiences on their feet after almost EVERY number,punctuated by unrestrained shouts of "Brava!","We LOVE you!", & accomplishing this in addition to maintaining one of the most illustrious careers around, at the age of 62.
Tremendous performance from Legendary Liza who is one of the all time greatest...Liza gets inside of this great song and takes the listener with her in such a brilliant way! Bravo Liza Minnelli!!!
Absolutamente inefable!!!!! Hoy cumple 76 años nunca verá esto pero, ¡¡¡¡feliz cumpleaños LIZA!!!! With a Z. Un admirador de Palma, Mallorca que el próximo mes cumple también 76 años.
This was Liza's first of two performances on an awesome 1989 Special called 'The Magic of Music'. I must have watched this 90 times that summer. Wore the tape out! If anyone has this entire Special Featuring Liza's roof blowing rendition of 'New York New York, please post it. It's is A MUST SEE!!
I totally agree! I don't understand why people are like "OMG SHE IS A BAD LUCY", when she obviously is NOT Lucy at all O_o. God forbid people cover the songs they enjoy in this day and age....
Even though Linda Eder is really great singing, Liza actually performs it much better that's what set her apart from Linda!! And you can hear Judy in her voice the vibrato and the way she falls off the notes!!!
subwayeat: whatever you do,...please don't let Liza know your feelings,...I'm certain one posessing your great theatrical and musical knowledge, not to mention your admirable erudition,... would render her completely devastated, especially after her tiny trifle of a show running at THE PALACE. Oh, btw, at your age she had already appeared on network TV, and won the Tony. Looks like you may have a bit of 'catching up to do'. Best of luck.
thank you phmike69! she is not performing this as lucy, she is performing it as liza would perform it, and i think she sounds great...when linda eder sang "don't rain on my parade" i didn't freak out cause she didn't sound like ms. streisand....but i accepted it, linda made it her own, bad or good. just leave liza's song choices alone...when you all can reach diva status after 40 years in the business then you can point fingers.
My apologiies, I may have read anothers' roster of 'better singers'. My ultimate point: Lucy, (the role, even along w/ the show), will be forgotten, Liza will not.
James, that was a very mean reply. Perhaps the original comment meant ‘she sings it so well, it was written for her’ in a figurative way, as opposed to literally. Calling a perfect stranger “a twit”, even if they have made a mistake about who the song was written for and by whom, is totally unhinged and speaks a great about your emotional balance, or lack of. Seek help.
I doubt that Miss Minnelli is attemptimg to 'be' Lucy. As for performing a tune in a certain key which is comfortable to the performer, it's done all the time. "On The Street Where You Live' in MY FAIR LADY is in key of 'C' in score, yet, when a slightly lighter & higher voiced, tenor sang it in London, w/ original B'way cast key was changed to E-flat. Liza Minnelli is singing this her own way, her arrangement, &c. She has to compete w/ no one.
Going on your rather ridiculous premise re. keys,Dame Julie Andrews should have not have given us her more beautiful renderings of material such as a 1994 recording/arrangement of "The Sound of Music", superior to the original film's version,and much of her Lerner & Loewe stuff,or Garland's heart-stopping turn from her TV series of "Ol' Man River" mainly because these were not performed in the key in which they may have originally been penned.Most can't tell & don't care re. key signatures.

A reminder that Liza was not just New York New York and Cabaret. She was a powerful vocal talent.
I’ve seen so many performers and there is no one like Liza.
Don't you just feel so ALIVE when you hear Liza sing.... :D
So wonderful. Liza knows how to act and deliver a lyric!
the one and only...........LIZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Iconic.
She's absolutely stunning in this vid!
Perfection! Help--I cant stop replaying it. Her voice just soars, the emotion in the eyes...she's magnetic!

wow such a soothing beautiful pretty voice
INCREDIBLE MINNELLI. SHE OWN THIS SONG. POWERFUL AS ALWAYS.
She really has a blessed life...all the UPS and downs and she is still kick in it ! Love her
A great story teller. Brava Liza
This seems written for her .. the original too thin vocally .. Liza takes it deep … what a shame she never recorded it and the Halston exquisite !
Great Performance
when did she do this? agreed BRAVO my Dear Liza Mae......
I love this song and I love Liza!! Thank U so much!! LOL Kirk
@marion71355 Exactly! At times her facial expressions make her look so much like her mom. Beautiful.
Gosh, I hear her mom in her voice.
perfection!! love the way her eyes seems to dance as she sings. she's so damn captivating...she can truly handle a large orchestra
I sang this song in college!
LOVE!!!

Let's see those you mention Sell Out The Palace. they have wonderful voices,...Minnelli has far more.
De lo bueno lo mejor, la flor de.la.nata.

this song was written for her, it suit her voice perfectly
NO IT WAS WRITTEN FOR LINDA EDER BY HER HUSBAND FOR THE MUSICAL JEKYLL AND HYDE TWIT

Yes correct her by all means. But don't call people names

Nothing like how Linda Eder performed it, but still a good performance.
No one can do it like Linda. This is still incredible though!
ps: WQ, that you prefer one voice over another seems a much more sound and valid opinion.
Any idea when this video was?
