Happy Birthday Judy Garland!



Hello, my beautiful, Judy-Loving fans! Today, Judy Garland would have been 90 years old, and how remarkable that today is also the day of the Tony Awards. Judy is and always will be an icon. From her first major splash in The Wizard of Oz, to her movies with Mickey Rooney, to her starring roles in The Clock, Meet Me in St. Louis, A Star is Born, etc, Judy thrills us with full throated glory, vulnerable acting and her oh-so-immitatable mannerisms. Judy's life was full of ups and downs, and we remember her for both, but we mostly remember her for her unquestionable talent. I'm celebrating by drinking some tea and watching the Judy Garland marathon on Turner Classic Movies. Oh, and here is one of my favorite Judy Performances.

Fierce Belting B*tches!


Hello, gorgeous fans. I just found this compilation video of some AMAZING belting. It's the most enjoyable 9:27 I've had in a WHILE! Highlights for me include Diana Kaarina (despite her thin, whatever voice) holding the C at the end of "On my Own" a really long time, Linda Eder singing "Someone Like You," Kate Shindle's Ab at the end of "Legally Blonde," Whitney Houston flawlessly singing "All at Once," Judy's "Hello Bluebird," Patti's PERFECT "Buenos Aires," Liza's best "New York, New York" ending, Linda Eder singing in whistle voice and then belting her face off, Stephanie Mills riffing her face off singing "Home,"etc. Obviously Shirley Bassey should have been in this too, but it's okay. Have fun!
