I love Judy’s version, but Ella is undeniably smooth and perfect. She manages to make me question which version is better, but Ella does deliver the sorrow, the blues. There is no comparing the two. They’re both equal and perfect.
Classic Ira Gershwin lyric will live forever. Arlen did the music at the request of Garland in the 1950's for her CinemaScope remake of "A Star is Born" - Ella never too comfortable with overly dramatic content of some material nails this. Garland and Fitzgerald differed in so many ways. Garland's near near shattered vocals were so far removed from the inner warmth/heartbrake of Ella. Thank you all and let's not forget Billy May - never really at home when i the material wasn't toe tappin' and brass laden - pulls this one off---- Garland, Fitzgerald and May meet Ira and Harold a royal convention
I cant get this song out of my head,,started with listening and watching Megan Mullaly doing in Will and Grace,,a very painful so long,,I knew she was talented but the version done by her its right on the ranks with Judy and Ella..sorrow pain and farewell,,,wow
This is beautiful, of course, and I love the mellower arrangement. Ella Fitzgerald is def a stunning vocalist. But the song was created for Judy to sing in "A Star is Born" and meant for her in every way. And the way Judy sings it is untouchable and cannot be imitated.
Pretty good, but Harold Arlen only composed the music. Ira Gershwin wrote the lyrics, so she could've easily included this on the Gershwin Songbook album.
I love them both judy dose it in pain and anger ella dose it in sorrow
Your absolutely right! I like them both also.💜
Have you ever heard a voice so beautiful it was almost unbearable? That is ELLA. WOW. WOW. WOW.

She owns anything she sings. One of a kind.
The studio orchestras accompanying Ella on all the songbook albums are fabulous -- so tight; this one conducted and arranged by Billy May.
Judy and Ella's voices always reminded me of each other.
*instantly gets chills*

Ella is excellent as always, but the definitive version has to be Judy Garland's?
Two different interpretations by two wonderful artists. Both great!!!!!!!!!
Ella is delicious, but in my humble opinion, nobody conveys pain like Judy does
Vocally, maybe, but my favorite is Dinah Washington.
Элла -эталон !
I still prefer Judy's version, but this is different and stunning.
Judy Garland did it first, and got deeper inside it than Ella, but her voice was not Ella's equal. No one's voice is, nor will ever be.
Ella? All bow down! 😔
Judy Garland was every bit as good as Ella in every respect & much more powerful vocally and heart-breakingly sincere.
Don't forget the Mary Lou song by The Creative Force on utube
I like this version-Ella is always good-and I like Barbra Streisand's-but this song will always belong to the great Ms. Garland.
Pretty good, but Harold Arlen only composed the music. Ira Gershwin wrote the lyrics, so she could've easily included this on the Gershwin Songbook album.
What would Helen Morgan have made of this song?
Love Ella, but Judy Garland owns this song
Voice fabulous as always,but I don't think this arrangement suited the song at all.
