- Film starring Julie Andrews and based on the life of actress Gertrude Lawrence, on- and offstage, takes the opportunity to feature extravagant musical production numbers with Julie Andrews acting, singing and dancing.
Sadly, nobody sings like this any more, perfect intonation, perfect breath control and phrasing.
so true...then we have Adele who is often off key, live, or Lady Gaga, who barely makes it in an octave. But we cheer them on, because the real level of singing has gone down so much. As Trump would say "SAD!"
Now it is obvious that those who are lifted to fame, most played are the girls who gives the best blowjobs etc to producers
Not even she, they FK up her voice
Yes there is one Johnny Mathis. Best ever
I introduce you to the west end and broadway
The sweetness and clarity of Julie Andrews voice just lovely.
The purity of her voice is so incredible! Listening to Julie's voice is really sort of a relaxation for your ears...I never knew (and never will know, I suppose) anyone who can sing so...you know what I mean, just perfect!
Karen Carpenter
I wonder what it feels like to sing so beautifully 😪
It wipes the soul of all its dust.
What do you mean? Go learn. There's 18,000 videos on UA-cam. Look for solfege vocal exercises. Take college classes at a Jr. College. Cheap, easy and fun.
Winds of March Journey/Perry tribute band I indeed do sing and actually performed this song as a solo two years ago as a senior in high school! Many years of singing have definitely made my voice quite decent, but I of course don’t sound quite like Julie 😌
@@lizaelliott6862 I thought what you said was beautiful and poetic. Bless you.
@@srichdway wow, thank you! How lovely to be complemented for something I said four years ago 🥰
Nobody sang this song before or after Julie Andrews like this!
What a winner!!!
One of the best voices ever. I love you Ms. Andrews!!!!
There is a gene for perfect pitch, and Julie Andrews had it and deserved it. She shared w/ those in bomb shelters and those who watched her movies. She is amazing...Fact...
Perfection (acting, singing and dancing triple threat) came only twice in the century: Judy Garland and Julie Andrews, one tragically taken from us too young, the other still with us but tragically her voice was taken away from us too.
Ana Irene you forgot Jane Powell who also was a soprano a dancer and a good actress but not recognized ad she deserved as also Barbara Cook and Carol Lawrence who didnt make movies so arent less known but they were also singers dancers and actresses .Judy Garland Dame Julie Andrews and dont forget Liza Minnelli who are.better known and recognized..
Sadly Judy died very soon at 47 and a bad surgery finished with the marveleus Dame Julie s soprano voice.Sad
@@dianaaljadeff2983 loved Jane Powell!!
Ana Irene I also think.that Barbara Cook Barbra Streisand. had the same singing talent and I also like Jane Powell who was excellent ad a singer and dancer
Thank you George Gershwin for this masterpiece. This song is a century old but still loved by ages passed😘
Jay Raphael’s All Entertainment (but doesn’t mean I know): No, you don’t know much. You posted this stupid comment in 2021. “Someone To Watch Over Me” is from the musical OH KAY! by the Gershwin brothers written in1926 to star GERTRUDE LAWRENCE. So it is not a century old, about 95 years old. GET YOUT FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE POSTING!!!
@@johnpickford4222 George's brother and frequent collaberator, as I'm sure you know, was the great lyricist Ira Gershwin.
Excellent rendering. Somewhere in her youth or childhood, she must have done something good.
Such a wonderful version of this song...Julie Andres voice is pure magic!
Love this so much And Julie, breaks my heart that her voice is gone
This is her best singing ever in my opinion. She makes it seem so easy, and never stops the legato line. 😍
You can say that again! Moving! Love it!
I will NEVER get over that voice!!!😊
I loved this film - parents had the soundtrack and I would listen to it when I was sick. I was taken to the film in the theater as well - not many people there, but I loved it.
SHE'S SOO GOOD IN THIS FILM, if you LOVE JULIE ANDREWS YOU NEED TO SEE this film
The film is STAR and she certainly is.
This scene is from “Star” (1968), the second and last collaboration after “The Sound of Music” three years prior, featuring the reunion of Director Robert Wise, Producer Saul Chaplin, and the star herself, Julie Andrews as Gertrude Lawrence. Somewhat of an underrated classic, but this represents what Julie was capable of, which is her lovely singing voice. I really loved her work and I haven’t seen the film “Star”. This scene is lovely above all.
I would say that Julie is the only singer that could sing in a perfect tune and tone
So much of how she delivers this great song is sheer perfection. It's not a difficult song to sing, but it's difficult to get the right tempo. So many unnecessarily slow it down a fraction, but Julie has the correct speed as Gershwin wrote it. Another facet about this masterpiece is lyric interpretation. It beautifully lends itself to a singer with great heart, a singer who has been there.
It's a bit slower than Gershwin originally intended. His version was shockingly fast by comparison to most performances since then. I think they were right to slow it down. It's much better ad a slow ballad. There is a ridiculously fast piano performance by Gershwin himself that sounds frankly awful.
Incidentally, the presence of the doll in this video is true to the original stage performance. Gershwin found a doll in a toyshop and gave it to Gertrude Lawrence yo use as a prop while singing this in Oh Kay.
Oh how I want to be that doll!! To be sung to like that... gives me the warm and fuzzies ☺️
Flawless! Julie's voice. Of gold touches hearts
one of the best renderings ever! Julie never fails!
I didn't think I'd like her version, boy was I wrong!!!! Simply beautiful!!
what a charming lady.. in all movies, she is so wonderful !
beyond beautiful
Amazing!!! She's so beautiful and her voice is perfect!
A beautiful song, an exquisite voice!
No words to describe this amazing talent & beauty!
Only she could carry so much of that tune acapella.. Such control, Julie Andrews is amazing. And 14 people who voted this down are tone deaf
Trolls.
Terrible audio, can't hear a thing, maybe tgat is the vote down, not Julie, everybody loves Julie.
Her voice is always perfectly controlled. She seems to know ewactly what she is doing.
I get goosebumps every time I hear her voice
Absolutely gorgeous.
Stunning voice, what a talent.
My fave version of this amazing song is this one by no other than Julie!
Lovely in every way.
This is so sad. This voice is gone forever. If she had died it would not be as sad as the fact that she still lives to this day without being able to sing at all. That kind of thing happening to someone with a VOICE LIKE THIS is one of the world's greatest tradgedys.
Solar Chapel Her beautiful voice will live on forever through her songs.
I can definitely relate. I lost my voice in a 2010 surgery that caused permanent paralysis and nerve damage to both vocal cords. In addition, there was a hematoma on one cord that fell iff, leaving deep scar tissue. I’d been a singer all of my life & have 2 vocal performance degrees. It stopped my career dead in its tracks. I didn’t even have a speaking voice when I first woke up.
So, I have a pretty good idea of what poor Julie has gone through.
She can still sang. She has a nice voice. Just for a little while she couldn't. Sometime you have to use the voice you have and she do. I'm a singer and I still feel she can do it.
Julie's voice is not gone forever. It will be with us forever, and still heard long after she and all of us are gone, through her recorded and filmed performances. Instead of mourning the loss of the miracle that was Julie Andrews' singing voice, we should be grateful that she had it so long, and used it so well, and also for the gift of Julie's continued survival and presence with us, and her continued work as an actor, author, and director. I suspect that most people who dwell on the tragedy of Julie's lost voice have never seen or heard more than a tiny fraction of her movies, video-taped concert performances, television appearances, and studio albums. Julie Andrews has already given us a lifetime of magnificent performances for us to enjoy.
I L Y Julie Andrews! You are beyond amazing!
I LOVED THIS MOVIE!! Thank you for posting this.
It is indeed a tragedy that an angel has lost her voice......what a shame 😢😢😢😢😢
JULIE !!!!!!!!!!!
GREAT ENGLISH DAME !!!!!!!!!!
GREAT ACTRESS !!!!!!!!!
GREAT DANCER !!!!!!!!!!
GREAT SINGER !!!!!!!!!!!!
HER VOICE OF SOPRANO COLORATUR WILL BE
REMEMBERED FOR EVER
AND EVER ...
BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!
BRAVISSIMO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this movie...smashing!
I think she is outstanding in this film. It's the only film I actually applauded when it ended. Plus she looks stunning in it :D
Perfection
I think her adolescent singing helped perfect her vocal chords. her voice is so high pitch but Strong and Clear. It should be whispy but it's not. it's like she strengthened and used muscles that aren't normally used creating a great foundation for her adult voice.
Ella ; Es superdotada , con una voz fuera de serie , que sólo DIOS puede regalar . Pero unida , a una férrea disciplina , que le dio , el pasaporte , a un virtuosismo extraordinario , acompañado de su carisma angelical . Esa es Julie Andrews .
STUNNING
there might be other singers out there today but they just aren't lucky enough to be noticed like her, I'm going to do this song in a competition and my music teacher picked it out for me today, I'm hoping that someday I'll be as lucky as she was! :)
Queen 👑💖💖💖
What a diction. One of the many things I love about Julie is her diction!
THIS IS FANTASTIC!!!!
Im singing this for my voice class rn 😝
Me too 👍🏼
Me too
speechless!!!!
To not cast Julie Andrews in My Fair Lady is the greatest cinematic crime committed.
I disagree
Bottomhead: Please, it’s been nearly 60 years, GROW UP. At the time the film casting was being done, Julie Andrews had no film recognition or box office. Except for having done the role on Broadway and London for nearly 3 1/2 years, there was nothing to recommend her. Audrey Hepburn had box office, an Academy Award
@@johnpickford4222 Ah yes, a business-minded approach to art, which led to the casting of an established actress who couldn't really sing and had to be dubbed over. If you prefer a great musical to have dubbed parts.... The movie is good otherwise...what an unblemished gem it would have been. Tragic that the same business-minded logic that completely taints that movie thrives more than ever today.
I agree that she was robbed but I’m glad things played out as they did because now we all have Mary Poppins AND My Fair Lady as they are 😊
siempre hermosa julie !!
Just hearing this makes me want to cry, so BAD!!!! T_T
Julie I adore you
Hate to say this, but Gertrude Lawrence is a bigger, nicer role for Julie than Eliza. And the songs in STAR! are beyond beautuful..and sung so beautifully. And she is in every scene!!
I love you Dame Julie Andrews....
it is but she's more than just a voice.
hnr1another Can't agree with you more! She's truly exceptional in every way! Like her voice of gold her heart is golden as well!
Applause.
My friend just got a first with this song at state:)
One of the greatest singers of the 20th century but Jean Louisa Kelly does a pretty good rendition of this as well in “Mr. Holland’s Opus”
Yes, but she's now closing in on 50 and it's not the same voice that puts chills in your spine. I didn't say it's bad, but it isn't a clean and strong.
The other voice that always gets me is "Anyhow" with Susan Tedeshi. O.m.g.
If i m gone i hope i could see some to watch over me....but i know she doesn't carry the key to my heart.....
The movie is Star! A really great movie. About the friendship between Gertrude Lawrence and Noel Coward. The late actor Daniel Massey was Noel Coward's godson. What happened to her voice is a tragedy.
jesus, Moses, Prophet Muhammad! THis woman can sing and what a voice she has...magical beyond magical and clarity beyond the clearest crystal bell...Singers today just arent that good any more.
I have to do this song for S & E.
Star! (1968)
Film based on life of actress Gertrude Lawrence, on- and offstage, takes the opportunity to feature extravagant musical production numbers with 'Julie Andrews' , acting, singing and dancing. www.imdb.com/title/tt0063642/
@cosg9531 The setting does not call for a smoky cafe ballad rendition. The song was meant to be sweet and dreamy in this scene. :)
can someone tell me what key this version is?
Given that Julie is playing Gertrude Lawrence, I’m a little surprised that she sings “he carries the key” rather than the words Lawrence sang: “he’ll carry the key”.
Dick Izinya the name of the movie is Star
There's a saying old
Says that love is blind
Still we're often told
"Seek and ye shall find"
So I'm going to seek
A certain lad
I've had in mind
Looking everywhere
Haven't found him yet
He's the big affair
I cannot forget
Only man I ever think
Of with regret
I'd like
To add his inital
To my monogram
Tell me
Where is the shepherd
For this lost lamb?
There's a somebody
I'm longin' to see
I hope that he turns
Out to be
Someone to watch over me
I'm a little lamb
Who's lost in the wood
I know I could
Always be good
To one
Who'll watch over me
Although he may
Not be the man some
Girls think
Of as handsome
To my heart
He carries the key
Won't you tell him please
To put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
Won't you tell him please
To put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me
1 person isn't a...god, I don't even know...whoever dislikes this is simply mean.
I wonder if Julie ever saw Gertrude Lawrence in the flesh when she was young. And if she did, would she think she would play the role?
I would have said yes, but on doing some research I find that their dates don't line up very well. Gertrude Lawrence started her career in England, but by the time 10-year-old Julie Andrews started performing in British vaudeville (in 1945), Lawrence was a Broadway star in the United States. In fact, in 1945, Lawrence was starring on Broadway as Eliza Dolittle in a revival of Shaw's PYGMALION, opposite Raymond Massey as Henry Higgins. One might assume that Julie could have seen her in her final role, as Anna in THE KING AND I (1951), but again, the dates don't line up. Lawrence fell ill during the run, and died in 1952, while Julie didn't come to the U.S. until two years later, when she came over as one of the stars of the 1920s-style British musical, THE BOYFRIEND. At most, Julie might have seen Lawrence as Amanda Wingfield in the movie version of Tennessee Williams' THE GLASS MENAGERIE (1950). I think Julie felt an affinity for Lawrence as a character, because like Julie, she had her roots in British vaudeville. Likely she didn't know that Lawrence had co-starred in a movie with Rex Harrison (MEN ARE NOT GODS, in 1936).
The title of the film might be a helpful thing to post.
This is from the film "Star!". Unfortunately most of the film is as boring as sin.
Julie Andrew or Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady?
AndrewS
Why the whole film would faile at that time?
Bad marketing timing.
Unfortunately most of the film is about as interesting as watching paint dry.
I think the reason it failed was because the audiences of that time only wanted to see Julie as another nun or nanny.
@popups46okay
Look up on Goggle, she is actress and a star :)
1:53
Yes that is my exact cut for my mock edition
Áudio muito baixo !
The best version besides Barbra Streisand’s
Julie Andrew sang better than Gertrude Lawrence!
Much better!
Ms. Lawrence’s voice had a very limited range - but she was a “Star!”.
:)
Of course she did
AndrewS
I couldn’t hear it at first
@Shamsithaca Listen to this one, different type of music but beautiful voice. watch?v=yhSBPS_l7zY
A bad film but superior to any musical film apart from West Side Story in.the 1960s
Agree. The surgeon who butchered her vocal chords should either have been castrated or had the tendons in his hands cut and penalty for destroying one of the most beautiful singing voices God has given to humans.
What the fuck bro
A beautiful rendition. But how very odd to choose Julie Andrews, whose voice was superb, to portray Gertrude Lawrence, whose voice was thin, wobbly and prone to flatness.
Gertrude L had elegance, stage presence and great comic talent - but she had a voice most would find almost unbearable today. Her singing was so bad toward the end that Rogers and Hammerstein were about to fire her from The King and I. She suddenly died of liver cancer, so her professional reputation was preserved.
She won the Tony for playing Mrs. Anna.
@@CanadianMonarchist Yes, she did.
Of course Julie Andrews is a better singer than Gertrude Lawrence.
