Young Anna Kendrick performing!

I recently realized that the little girl singing with the girls from Cabaret on the Carnegie Hall Divas of Broadway DVD is Anna Kendrick...WEIRD! Remember when she was nominated for a Tony at the age of 12?! Crazy! She was SO CUTE! I hope the rumors about her playing Cinderella in the Into the Woods movie are true!

Shirley Bassey: Shirley is forever!

Hello, gorgeous ones! I don't know if I've posted about her on here before, but just in case you didn't know: Shirley Bassey might be my favorite singer of all time. Not only did she belt so high and thrillingly in her youth...she's STILL singing and sounds f*cking INCREDIBLE! Shirley's voice in her youth was like a combination of Judy and Barbra, it had the dark, thrilling, chesty color of Judy and the range and phrasing of Streisand. The fact that she can still sing at all, let alone give an incredible, thrilling performance in her 70s is just AMAZING! Shirley is just the best. Here are two videos of her singing live in 2011!

Happy Birthday Patti LuPone!

Hello gorgeous ones! Today is one of the best days ever. It's the day where Patti LuPone was born...thank you Patti LuPone's parents for conceiving someone who has brought so much joy, drama and music to so many people! From Evita, to Sunset Boulevard, to Gypsy it's all just the best. Sending an enormous "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to La LuPone, may she entertain and inspire us for years to come!
