If the article is to be believed, I read that Blake wanted her to go on tour with Victor Victoria. When Julie took the break from VV, she had two options for her hoarseness - take a long rest from singing to rest her vocal cords or have surgery (shorter recovery). Blake encouraged her to have the surgery, so she could go on tour. His opinion swayed Julie to agree to the surgery. Of course, no one ever imagined the MD would excise a piece of her glorious vocal cords. Now that it is in the past, Julie has said that she was reaching a point where her age meant she was reaching the end of her singing days anyway. What a classy lady!
Bet Blake felt like it was all his fault, don’t blame him if he did I would feel terrible if I encouraged someone to get a surgery which was going to take away so much talent :(
Actually, in a Barbara Walters interview discussing the matter, she said she had a busy schedule, concerts, etc. that she couldn’t do. She spoke of Tony, Frank, Lena Horn who all sang later in life, “the voice thickens a bit” so…no, she wasn’t done or close to it.
I am taken back to the year Julie won the oscar for Mary Poppins. I was so disappointed when she was not chosen to do My Fair Lady movie version. Then she won the oscar over Audrey Hepburn. Not that Audrey was not wonderful in her portrayal of Elisa Doolittle. I have followed Julie's career with grate admiration. She has lived her life with such grace, never a cross word for anyone else. A true lady in the greatest sense of the word.
Totally agree with you Doug. I would watch her TV show here in the states before i went to bed which was at 9pm and suppose to be my bed time but would beg to watch her so the deal was i could watch but i had to get up for school in the morning without fussing. Fond memories!!
@@manuelorozco7760 yeah same I love all her movies but throughly modern Millie just felt a little boring to me, I love duet for one which not many people have seen and darling lili, Hawaii we’re all great.
Love this lady. Watching her is like the antidote to all the bad things in the world. For a while at least, I am transported to a time of peace and joy and the good times. Saw her in London last year. A charming and charismatic woman. 🌺
I went to this concert. At that time, I was a student and was surprised by the expensive ticket, but I enjoyed it with my older sister. I was really happy to be in the same space as Julie.
shes the ONLY Actress i know that sang for King George (Queen Elizabeth's Dad) she was able to hit i believe 6 octives but i am not 100% certain TNT was supposed to do the AFI Tribute this past year for her but they rescheduled one time, i dont know if the AFI EVER did take place for her.... would be a real shame if it didnt.... she was WAY Over due for that to....
Was it this same evening? or another evening? I think she did couple of evenings of this concert, which may have been slightly different from another...maybe can clarify!
@@markyale6953 Actually it was 4 octaves high at that time when she used to sing. Julie Andrews said in one of her interviews about her own voice, she says, "I had a very pure, white, thin voice, a four-octave range - dogs would come from miles around.
@@Shamsithaca As this was in 1993 as you can tell, she could still hit the 4 octave notes until 1997 when she developed hoarseness in her voice due to singing daily at Broadway. She subsequently underwent surgery at New York's Mount Sinai Hospital, reportedly to remove non-cancerous nodules from her throat, though she later stated the hoarseness was due to "a certain kind of muscular striation [that] happens on the vocal cords"-itself the result of a strain from Victor/Victoria (she added "I didn't have cancer, I didn't have nodules, I didn't have anything." After that she couldn't sing anymore on her 4 octave voice.
Agreed. I think this was the same year she also did a live orchestra recording of the musical The King and I with Ben Kingsley. She would have been perfect in a stage production of that musical. I don't think she could have done the movie because she was too young at the time the movie was made.
A musician gets better with age. She probably reached her peak in her fifties. Her voice is gorgeous, always was. Her phrasing, musicianship, interpretation, breath control, is beyond outstanding. Of course, she has perfect pitch. Her choreography is wonderful.
@@jeanniewalters5708 actually Julie went on to do Victor Victoria movie in her 60s. She could sure belt it out even then!! I can't think of a more perfect STAR as Julie Andrews has been in my lifetime! Love her and thank her with all my heart!! 🥰
Her soprano voice range and the great clarity in the sound of her voice, make her one of the great singers of all time. She should never have undergone the surgery ...!
Surgery should always be avoided if at all possible. She got misguided information. No nodules on her vocal cords, and yet the damn doctor cut into them.
@@steveparker9757I agree that JA should never have had that operation, but even if she'd never had it, she might still not be able to sing like she used to since she's now in her eighties. (Julie was born October 1, 1935 in Walton, England, UK.)
yeah she didnt need the surgery, she needed vocal rest and vocal exercize, her body would have done its own surgery deep inside. You cant always mess with God's design. Humans are often flawed in their work.
In this lockdown, I’m enjoying and binging on Julie Andrew’s concerts. She’s just too good - voice, grace, elegance and not to mention her pretty smiles. Seems there’s no bad genes in her being !
I attended her concert in Columbus, Ohio! I was so thrilled to see and hear her! I was enchanted with her that I didn’t leave my seat!!! I was not going to miss one minute of her music! Thank you Julie... I am still listening and reading your books!💗💗🐬🐬🥰🥰
Pure class, elegance, and extraordinary talent = Dame Julie Andrews. She is a timeless treasure. Let's also give props to the genius of Richard Rodgers' melodies and the poetry of Oscar Hammerstein's lyrics. They are perhaps the greatest songwriting team ever.
Just tears to hear her. This sound of music has filled my life since I was one year old when the movie came out in 1965. Still my favorite of all times!
She was in her prime here. She was a little older and wiser, and the voice had a bit of depth it lacked in her earlier days. This was before she starred in Victor/Victoria on Broadway and lost her voice to botched surgery. I saw her live in two concerts a few years before this (Valley Forge, PA and Wolftrap in VA. ) So sad she can no longer sing this way. Thank God for recordings such as this.
Finally found the article I read on the inside scoop on the vocal debacle: “1995, Andrews had agreed to star on Broadway in Edwards’ stage adaptation of Victor/Victoria. Her initial commitment was to do it for nine months to a year, but at the end of that period the show still hadn’t recouped its investment, so she was asked to stay on - and did so, ending her run after a total of 20 months. “After I came out of Victor/Victoria,” she says, “Blake and our producer asked me if I would go on the road with it to ‘finish the job,’ and I said, ‘I can’t.’ Then they asked me again. Then they asked me again. And finally, with great regret, I thought, ‘Well, I guess we are a team,’ and I said I would.” But she first had to address an issue with her vocal cords. “I had gotten a small weak spot - I never got a nodule or anything like that, but it would occasionally swell up with a little fluid and things,” she says quietly. “Toward the end of that 20 months, I was vocally tired, and [my throat specialist at the time] said, ‘You’ve got something there.’ He said it was a cyst, like a blister on your heel that’s filled with liquid. It wasn’t painful. He said, ‘If I don’t make you right, you will not survive on the road.’ And I knew it was wrong to do it - I didn’t respect my own voice enough - and I said yes. And then it went downhill from there, believe me.” It was supposed to be a simple procedure. “I thought in two weeks I’d be strong and safe and could do what I was asked to do,” Andrews says. “‘In two weeks you’ll be singing better than you’ve ever sung in your life,’ [she was told]. And about a year to 18 months later I thought, ‘Hello, I’m in big trouble.'” She had lost almost all of her vocal range - and it wasn’t coming back. Edwards said at the time, “If you heard it, you’d weep.” Andrews says now, “It was like chalk on a blackboard. That’s the way it sounded. It still would today - although, by a miracle, I have about six deep bass notes that are still intact.” She clarifies, though, “I certainly can’t sing. It’s still chalk on a blackboard if I use my range. No way.” Some time passed before Andrews accepted what had happened. “I was in denial for a while,” she says, and when reality finally began to sink in, “It was devastating. A loss of myself. And I had to finally come to the conclusion that it wasn’t only that that I was made of. I mean, I thought my voice was my stock-in-trade, my talent, my soul.” Over the ensuing 18 years, though, she has come to realize that is not the case. “I’m over it, really. I always will regret the operation. I wish I’d been strong enough to say no. But I have to forgive myself for doing it because I felt such an obligation to have it done.” These days, she says, she even gets “rueful pleasure” out of singing to herself at home. “
Thank-you for that post. Now I understand the time sensitivity of her decision and the obvious pressure she was under to keep Victor/Victoria successful on tour. Still, the liability is just as obvious. The diagnosis was wrong on which this surgery was recommended and clearly the damages were real and almost incalculable.
The amazing, multi talented and forever beautiful Julie Andrews is the greatest singer ever...her pure, crystal clear voice is unique. She is a treasure.
To be able to appreciate this constellation of enormous talent: Rogers and Hammerstein, Julie Andrews and Andre Previn -- count yourself lucky to be alive for this. Edelweiss (48:52) gloriously arranged by Maestro Previn and sung by the incomparable Julie Andrews. The song is a triumphal conclusion to this wonderful concert. Julie and Andre deliver an unforgettably moving ending to the song that leaves us all emotionally dumbstruck by its beauty. The audience heartily agreed.
I’m crying too. Her heart sings with such rapturous bliss of pure eternal beauty, passion and emotion. Her voice sounded so much better than Barbra Streisand (:sorry to disappoint or insult her fans) but Julie Andrews was born to sing, and not even the cruelest moment could take that away from her. To me Julie Andrews symbolized pure beauty in a natural form. We ❤️ Julie Andrews always and forever.
Belíssima voz! Clássica atriz! Postura de palco perfeita! Suavidade e delicadeza somada com a meiguice de uma bela afinada e clássica voz! Parabéns Julie Andrews!
HERMOSA ENTRADA DE JULIE... LA NOVICIA REBELDE, FUE, ES, Y SERA, UN CLASICO. UN TESORO MAS, DEL ARCA DEL CINE. UNA OBRA DE ARTE DE LA CINEMATOGRAFIA, POR ESO ESTA OBRA, NUNCA PASARA DE MODA. JULIE UNA MUJER, CON GRAN TALENTO. UNA DELICIA DISFRUTAR ESTE CONCIERTO. APLAUSOS A ESTA DAMA. 👏👏👏
Miss you Miss Julie Andrews as Maria and the great Christopher Plummer alias Capt. Von Trapp! God rest his soul and the other 2 of the cast from the musical Sound of music ! Amen
This concert incorporates an incredible amount of greatness: Julie Andrews’ flawless performance, the craftsmanship of Ian Fraser’s arrangements, the leadership of the great Andre Previn, the NHK Symphony Orchestra, and of course, the songs themselves. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Yes, that's Maestro Andre Previn. He loved Julie and worked with her in several concerts, including Christmas recordings and Christmas Concerts as well.
Actually my all time favorite performance of this actress is Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. Also most people should know that this actress and I have the same birthday together. Another fact is that this actress is in both The Princess Diaries movies and she's the narrator of Disney's Enchanted. If you have Disney Plus, look for this actress on season 2 of The Muppet Show.
Thanks for the nostalgic video! My life, half a century! In a corner of my mind, I have her songs and images I have her songs and images in a corner of my mind, and they support my heart. Thank you!
estaba enamorado del amor luego de ver "la novicia rebelde" la mejor pelicula de mi niñez e infancia....y los sentimientos que me genero...aun me acompañan....una obra maestra ..siendo Julie..in-com-pa-ra-ble !!!!

Your voice is still very beautiful miss Julie Andrews! God bless you! And , I wish you will do a Broadway show in New York USA for us all to see for the last time before you totally retire from singing! We all love you! 🙏❤️👍😘😇✝️💝
One of the most beautiful woman in the world ❤️. This is what you call My Fair Lady. She makes you feel better and very much alive ❤️. I fell in love with this lady in 1965 The Sound of Music 😘 with love and affection always from Charles Bosselman
Thank you Julie for the beautiful memories of an era long gone where musical movies were wholesome, enjoyable and fun with no violence or foul language and the whole family could sit down to watch together. The songs could be sung by both the adults and the children. And yes, " If music is the food of love, play on........." ! I have seen all of Julie Andrew's movies and I love all the songs in her movies !
Coming back to The Music that Truly helped Define her Career, her Perfect Voice defined the Voice of a Free Austria, complimenting and Leading Every Other Member of the Cast of That Movie to Perform Better! What a Wonderful Woman!
“Het perfect voice defined the voice of a free Austria”... in an American movie. The song of/ lyrics to “Edelweiss” have absolutely nothing to do with Austria but everything with Rodgers and Hammerstein.
Julie l love and admire you since l saw first time here in Romania at TVR "Mary Poppins "and " The sound of the music"my favorite film for me and now at my 60 and forever ! You are the good , beautiful , kind fairy! God bless you!🌷👏🎼🌺❤
