    Oh, this lady can sing and dance - in her own spectacular style! One of a kind. Watch that deadpan delivery - she is hilarious by doing very little. She is a wonderful actor who has something going on beneath the surface all the time.

      This was something her and Tommy tune Kmart with because she's 6 foot 2 flat foot you can't jump in prancs around like a fairy or be a glamorous floating partner to a suave male dancer because they were all five foot something tool does she have to come up with the way to use her vehicle that portrayed what does music portrayed and got the image across to the audience that was visually appealing and made sense I wasn't forced or silly. Her father was a black man that was white there was a genetic issue and secret have been black because their father was black her mother said to her on her first date keep your knees together Carol because you could have a black baby!! Lol but when you look at her U can see she has the elegance and the willowy slender limbs and the beautiful teeth and cheekbones and thick hair. .. but her gift was being able to roll her eyes and glare at someone or something in the theatre and people 150-200 meters at the back could see it. 😍😍💜💜💜💜🙏🙏

    Oh she can dance, dance very well. The movement that she is doing here is a deliberate style. It is for comic value. Her special with Pearl Bailey is worth the watch. It is kind of amazing to see her impersonate other people...one realizes how she created a "Carol" persona every bit as effective as "Marlyn" created a Norma Jean

    Carol is a Broadway Legend. She was the one who made Gentlemen Prefer Blonds and Hello Dolly huge hits. She has excellent comedic timing, and she was one of the original "funny voice" ladies. She's funny and makes people laugh. Her songs may not be pitch perfect, but the fact that they make people smile is part of their appeal. You go see Carol when you want to have an enjoyable evening.

    After I wrote my response to you I thought, "I should have mentioned how many entertainers impersonate her." LOL @ Ryan's impressions of her.
    She's going to be 90 in 2011, so she's been around a long time. She's been impersonated since the 1960's (which is before my time as well) and been famous since the late 1940's.
    You not knowing about her isn't odd at all. Actually, the thought of an 18 year old Swedish lad who's an expert on Carol Channing WOULD BE odd & hilarious to me:)

      Yes it is. Carol Channing originated the role on Broadway in 1949. These are the original lyrics of the song.

    • @ohmightywez
      @ohmightywez 5 років тому

      If you go back to the original broadway lyrics of a lot of shows, you’ll find that Hollywood censors really rewrote a ton of songs. It happened to this, it happened to Kiss Me Kate, it happened to every Cole Porter musical that was ever made into a movie. It even happened to Oklahoma. Ado Annie does NOT sing the original lyrics to I’m Just a Girl Who Can’t Say No. lol. I found this all out in the early 70s listening to my parents’ records of the Broadway plays and it drove me nuts when I was a kid because I always wanted what I had seen in the movie to be right.
      As an adult I find myself irritated by the censorship and wish I could have my beloved movies, which are iconic and wonderful, have the clever lyrics of the original play. Sigh.....
