I love that Liza made this her own. What a gorgeous tribute to her mum and dad. And for those comparing and criticising her voice to Judy's in the clip - let's not forget Judy was just a baby in that - she was what - 22? Liza's in her mid- 50s here and voices wear out with constant belting not to mention smoking and not treating yourself very kindly. She's doing grand. I wish I had half the talent she has in her little finger.
that is really uncanny how amazingly similar their voices are. wow. "and I'm dying to sing this song" sounds exactly like Judy. great video, thanks! i love when they put up clips from the movie of Garland, how awesome..
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa wonderful... Judy and Liza togheter.... I love it!!!!!! I love Judy Garland Very much and I love Liza for that! emozionanteeeeeeee!!!!!!
Fabulous!! Great!! Can't believe there's actually someone though - from USA too, who's never heard of Liza!! pleeeze, where ya been living. And, Grai ... Liza is a fabulous singer, always has been - one star in the real sense of the word, a true star always stands the test of time too, unlike some of todays talentless fluff. x
I think Judy would be proud of her daughter. Not only because her singing career took off, but also because she has the courage to sing her mother's songs! Because Liza I'm sure doesn't want to be known only as Judy Garland's daughter, but wanted her name to known for her, you know? A lot of people will compare her to her mother, which is why there is such risk in doing her mother's songs.
If there's a copyright in heaven and lineage to sing a legend's repertoire, though, you gotta admit that Liza holds the rights to it more than anybody, vocally and eerily, when it comes to performing her mom's hits live.
for those that think liza minnelli has lived off her mothers name etc- she is the only or one of the only women to receive nearly everykind of award you can win for performance- oscar tony etc... more than you or i will ever receive. her mother didnt win them for her!yeah she's dodgey in this vid- but give the gal her due in her time she was fierce. if musical recordings i had made were played as much as liza minnelli i would be very happy and also very rich!
You are so right, Pickletree; Liza didn't have to drag her mother into the show. But, I think it was an awesome tribute to her mother. No one harped on Hank, Jr. when he did a song with his late father or Natalie Cole when she did a song with her late father. These are very touching performances. I'm sure Liza would have rather her mother been there in person. I appreciate everything she does and Liza did make her own way. Judy and Vincent would be proud.
Liza is so much like her mother that she has even taken up her tactic of improvised lyric rewrites at the end of phrases ("and the universe spanned") and covering belts she might miss with microphone gesture and shorter bursts. Still spectacular though! Love it!
and i deeply agree with you that judy's performance singing The Man That Got Away was deeply moving. One of my fave really... i can't understand how this movie was not a success at its time... ;)
Liza is a great singer and performer in her own right, but boy she sounds so much like her mother it's uncanny. I'm glad she came out to sing some of her mama's songs. She's the only one who can do justice to them. Great video!!
her voice may not be as good as Judy, but then not many are/were. but Liza is one of the most talented artists of the 20th century. amazing. and what heart.
@cinderelmo because Judy is the legend... Minnelli no... was a great director, yes very much... but Judy is mrs show biz, the legend .. unforgettable. Liza is the singer like her mama, does not want to be known only because it is the daughter of Judy. But that is great... Judy on the screen and Liza singing! wow. I think that liza love very much her mama!
Judy was the greatest; however, Liza holds her own as well. She is a great singer. Let's be thankful to her for carrying on the family business! Applaud her... She is giving tribute to her mom here. She did a fantastic job!
You are completely wrong. I just saw her live last night, and I have never seen a better performance. Her voice sounded great (not like it did when she was a teenager, but what do you expect?) and she certainly didn't need to "DRAG" her mother into the show. Everyone loved Liza for Liza. She was pure entertainment - funny, energentic, talented, and so nice. So please, stop being so harsh about this amazing woman!
i am indeed familiar with judy's work and i personally prefer her voice to liza's. but i still do think liza's voice is stronger - or at least was much stronger when she was younger. yet, as i wrote, judy has more presence and personality when singing, and that's what count...
Yes, for some reason Liza has chosen not to sing her Mother's songs much. I think she did a good job on the Trolley Song, though. I saw this show in person and she was great!
come on now...I saw Liza live in the early 90's and she was a helluva singer...a wonderful interpreter of songs. It's hard to pin down qualities that make a great singer...I mean..what do you think of Dylan or Billie Holiday? Not technically "great singers" but great communicators in song...
i think liza has a better and stronger voice than her mom. but you can't compare the quality of her voice to the personality and star-quality Judy had. that is what makes Judy a far more greater star...
Like her mother, who was "prescribed" barbituates by MGM studio to keep her awake to film, and "sleeping pills" to calm her, which Judy then abused terribly and was killed by at age 46, her daughter, Liza, has always had serious trouble with drugs and alcohol.
she has sung this before, i saw her do it in the 80's at the golden gate theater in san francisco as a tribute to her father. its was great and a little spooky she looked just like her mother. you cant change your genes, some things are inherited from your parents. i think she got the best of both.
Technically, I think Garland was the better singer, and she was a child prodigy. Just check out the clip of her singing "Zing Went the Strings of My Heart" at age 13. Her voice had instrument-like clarity. Even as it deepened through the years, it retained that quality. Still, I like Liza a lot, and I think it's kind of petty to compare mother and daughter. I had the good fortune of seeing Liza at Radio City Music Hall in 1991 -- she was fabulous -- a truly great entertainer in her own right.
Im glad some of you got the joke, Liza was nice enough to come over to the edge of the stage and shake my hand after a concert. i guess pathetic 321 is just a pathetic drama queen
funny, energentic, talented, and so nice That describes a lot of people singing lounges in the lobbies of hotels the world over But to say she sounds "great" is just plain silly! If she wasn't garlands daughter and got up there and made that terrible noise she would have been booed off - but recently it has gone into the realms of the embarrassing - if you love Liza you should feel sad that she doesnt know when to stop
No need to be so cynical. I can't stress how much that, just because she's Judy Garland's daughter does not mean that's why she's famous. When her mother was alive, she refused to gain fans through the "daughter route" and was determined to make it on her own. She certainly did. & she doesn't want to be known as Judy Garland's daughter; she's Liza Minnelli.If you don't like her and you have no appreciation for broadway legendry, then don't watch. No one wants to hear the negativity anyway.
When Judy appeared the audience went nuts. Judy's voice and chemistry over powered this sing against Liza's LIVE voice. When they did the Palladium in 1964 together Jduy was competitive with her daughter when Liza was on stage too long. Liza's own words not mine. She said it on PHIL DONOUGUE.
Agian, incorrect. She does not belong in a hotel lobby, and hotel singers do not belong in her place. Sure, this video isn't her best. Seeing her live doesn't compare to UA-cam, and I don't think this song is suited for her vocals. She and her mother are separate when it comes to her concerts. She didn't just stand up there and talk about her mom, & she didn't sing any of Judy's songs. Even people who did know much about her loved her performances.
the sound on the video is just bad. lisen to a better recording and u will see that she really can sing. its true that she's not her mother, but she can sing.
Why are you so mean? Because you have no talent and are jealous. Just appreciate a great performance and silence your insecurities. Her voice will silence you.
Judy’s singing voice was a natural God given talent whereas Liza and Lorna had to learn how to sing and still Judy was and always will be, the greatest..
This is the million dollar question why does Liza refuse to sing her mothers songs is it too personal for her does it make her sad , why does Liza only do tributes to her dad , her mother was Judy Garland for Pete's sakes she could do the man that got away , the trolley song and especially over the rainbow.
Liza is a great singer but her mother didn't mention that they giggled alot.Lorna and Liza,both embellish too much to make both marrieges between their fathers the better marriage. Vincente didnt help judy fight against MGM.The marriage dissolved shortly after. I dothink Sid was the love od her life.But Both daughters have milked their mother's legend. As they get older they see their own careers not grow as their mother's has since she has died. Even in death, Judy is the star of that family.
liza sucks here, but it's nice to see her covering one of her mother's songs, as she normally avoids doing that. when liza was young, she was a dynamite performer like her mother, but judy always had the more beautiful voice, imo.
yeah, i agree, three or more thumbs down to you. i think liza is a better dancer than judy was but they are both stars in their own right. you're just being a hater...
she always CONSTANTLY referred to Judy Garland - even tho no-one asks her - somehow she'll crow bar her long dead mother into the interview or the show! Then she gets offended if people call her Judy Garland's daughter she's always wanted it both ways It would be less annoying if the poor crazy lady could sing a note - even when she was young her voice was terrible
Apart from anything else she is SLAUGHTERING song that is WAY out of her reach vocally and if she had any sense she would steer clear of stuff that compared her to Garland who was a million times better vocally But basically Liza Minnelli is constantly needing to DRAG her poor mother into the act 40 years after her death because she feels it's her one claim to fame now that her voice is even less than it was when she was young
I take your point Liza Minnelli certainly has the charisma to put on a show but its not enough to "communicate" there has to be SOME musical tone to the voice She has star quality but Minnelli to my ears sounds like someone strangling a drunken old granny Just painful It takes away from her ability to perform with gusto - I just want her to shut up - even if it's only to carry on talking about "Mama" - which lets face it is all she has ever done - anything's better than the nasal screeching!
that she had surgery explains a lot about the way she sounds - but why is she still insisting on putting herself through this when her voice is no longer there? It's excruciating to watch
Judy would tell her to stop - Judy was a class act If Liza doesn't need to CONSTANTLY refer to Judy Garland why does she mention Mama every single time she performs or is interviewed? Long before she is even asked? No-one under 35 cares - her mother has been dead 40 years!! - she's like a sad old broken record Give it up
I love that Liza made this her own. What a gorgeous tribute to her mum and dad. And for those comparing and criticising her voice to Judy's in the clip - let's not forget Judy was just a baby in that - she was what - 22? Liza's in her mid- 50s here and voices wear out with constant belting not to mention smoking and not treating yourself very kindly. She's doing grand. I wish I had half the talent she has in her little finger.
Oh Liza...you are just lke Judy. How I love this!!
She is so amazing! Really cool to see Judy in the background.
that is really uncanny how amazingly similar their voices are. wow. "and I'm dying to sing this song" sounds exactly like Judy.
great video, thanks!
i love when they put up clips from the movie of Garland, how awesome..
she was definitely the daughter that had inherited judy's voice, but no one will be as great as judy
I find it amazing that Liza can still sing after all of her health issues and the fact that she chain smokes!
lady gaga chain smokes too.
Adan Herrera she’s quit
Liza did it her way...Mama would have been so proud. She sounded great.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa wonderful... Judy and Liza togheter.... I love it!!!!!! I love Judy Garland Very much and I love Liza for that! emozionanteeeeeeee!!!!!!
Fabulous!! Great!! Can't believe there's actually someone though - from USA too, who's never heard of Liza!! pleeeze, where ya been living.
And, Grai ... Liza is a fabulous singer, always has been - one star in the real sense of the word, a true star always stands the test of time too, unlike some of todays talentless fluff. x

A lot of people will compare her to her mother, which is why there is such risk in doing her mother's songs.
Thank you so much!! It's Liza at her best: live and singing a classic song! I love it!
If there's a copyright in heaven and lineage to sing a legend's repertoire, though, you gotta admit that Liza holds the rights to it more than anybody, vocally and eerily, when it comes to performing her mom's hits live.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
judy would be proud. liza loved her so much.
for those that think liza minnelli has lived off her mothers name etc- she is the only or one of the only women to receive nearly everykind of award you can win for performance- oscar tony etc... more than you or i will ever receive. her mother didnt win them for her!yeah she's dodgey in this vid- but give the gal her due in her time she was fierce. if musical recordings i had made were played as much as liza minnelli i would be very happy and also very rich!
she sings just like her mother, same voice
You are so right, Pickletree; Liza didn't have to drag her mother into the show. But, I think it was an awesome tribute to her mother. No one harped on Hank, Jr. when he did a song with his late father or Natalie Cole when she did a song with her late father. These are very touching performances. I'm sure Liza would have rather her mother been there in person. I appreciate everything she does and Liza did make her own way. Judy and Vincent would be proud.
she truly is her mothers daughter.
i am not a big fan of Liza but i LOVE Judy!!!!
Liza is so much like her mother that she has even taken up her tactic of improvised lyric rewrites at the end of phrases ("and the universe spanned") and covering belts she might miss with microphone gesture and shorter bursts. Still spectacular though! Love it!
BRAVISSIMA LIZA!!!!!!! You make my heart beat faster!
and i deeply agree with you that judy's performance singing The Man That Got Away was deeply moving. One of my fave really... i can't understand how this movie was not a success at its time... ;)
Liza is a great singer and performer in her own right, but boy she sounds so much like her mother it's uncanny. I'm glad she came out to sing some of her mama's songs. She's the only one who can do justice to them. Great video!!
Magnificent!
great number liza
her voice may not be as good as Judy, but then not many are/were.
but Liza is one of the most talented artists of the 20th century.
amazing. and what heart.
There was another version of this that was even more epic but it's taken down. Anyone have it?
@cinderelmo because Judy is the legend... Minnelli no... was a great director, yes very much... but Judy is mrs show biz, the legend .. unforgettable. Liza is the singer like her mama, does not want to be known only because it is the daughter of Judy. But that is great... Judy on the screen and Liza singing! wow. I think that liza love very much her mama!
My God, you can be mean... Even vicious!
@rugout TOUCHE!!! That is HILARIOUS! And I was a true Liza diehard in her last Millinnial greatness.
Judy was the greatest; however, Liza holds her own as well. She is a great singer. Let's be thankful to her for carrying on the family business! Applaud her... She is giving tribute to her mom here. She did a fantastic job!
One lyric mess up but hey she did a bang-up job
You are completely wrong. I just saw her live last night, and I have never seen a better performance.

yup
mother-daughter relationships can be tricky...
my point exactly ;)
i am indeed familiar with judy's work and i personally prefer her voice to liza's. but i still do think liza's voice is stronger - or at least was much stronger when she was younger.
yet, as i wrote, judy has more presence and personality when singing, and that's what count...
she sounds like judy, but no one will ever compare to judy.
Why didn't they make her sing in Arrested Development?
@barbraesmia Liza è brava ma nessuno supera Judy Garland!!!!!! Judy Garland is the legend for ever!
Yes, for some reason Liza has chosen not to sing her Mother's songs much. I think she did a good job on the Trolley Song, though. I saw this show in person and she was great!
ok, she doesn't have the charisma and personality, just sounds like her. judy put a lot of feeling and soul in her songs, liza just has the same voice
come on now...I saw Liza live in the early 90's and she was a helluva singer...a wonderful interpreter of songs. It's hard to pin down qualities that make a great singer...I mean..what do you think of Dylan or Billie Holiday? Not technically "great singers" but great communicators in song...
She's a parody of Judy Garland and Liza Minelli all rolled into one.
I think she refers to the fact that Liza can hit higher notes, which let's face it it's true. But she doesn't have that feeling of Judy's.
Sounds just like her mother 😓
i think liza has a better and stronger voice than her mom.
but you can't compare the quality of her voice to the personality and star-quality Judy had. that is what makes Judy a far more greater star...

thats the best judy garland drag queen in the world. Who is she and what gay bar was this filmed at?
rugout you just cracked me the fuck up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You gotta be kidding!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
funny, energentic, talented, and so nice
That describes a lot of people singing lounges in the lobbies of hotels the world over

Yes, the massive abuses she has inflicted on her body do show....but then, she never was her mother in talent or sweetness.
She's a very resilient person and very charismatice but she was never a good singer even when she was young and now her voice is simply TERRIBLE
Love Liza and Judy! But please Liza don't attempt that song again. It was awful!
Judy would tell her to stop - Judy was a class act
If Liza doesn't need to CONSTANTLY refer to Judy Garland why does she mention Mama every single time she performs or is interviewed? Long before she is even asked?
No-one under 35 cares - her mother has been dead 40 years!! - she's like a sad old broken record Give it up
