Liza Minnelli sings New York, New York in the best version ever! 1989 songwriters hall of fame at radio city. Check out the Liza Minnelli Scrapbook by Scott schechter. It’s the best and most detailed guide on all things Liza.
No one, I mean no single person, living or dead, can hold a candle to Liza Minnelli’s interpretation of “New York, New York.” She is phenomenal and she is superlative.
Liza is an electrifying performer. She takes total command of the stage.Her movements dance steps great voice are totally professional ,she lights up the whole concert hall.I adore her.
@mona2242 You've written this, referring to both Judy & Liza, in past tense, implying that they are both dead. While Judy Garland is, sadly, no longer with us....Liza is, very much, alive!! (Just in case you didn't know that!)😉
I have to disagree with you Mona! She was actually better than her mom! As she was described Pure Raw Talent! Her mother was a child star but as she grew older she lost her sparkle where Liza just shone!
@@annek1226 I suggest you watch the Born in A Trunk sequence from A Star is Born or listen to Judy at Carnegie Hall 1961.The Trolley Song in Meet me in St Louis was done in one take as was Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe in The Harvey Girls. Judy was never just a child star that lost her sparkle, research her and you may realise.
She sang this better than anybody, Liza was a spectacular performer - I have to agree that this is the best version of it by Liza - even though I like her recorded soundtrack a lot this is delivered with incredible energy that somehow only Liza could muster -
I had the pleasure to see Liza perform in person in 1977 at the Stanley theater in downtown Pittsburgh. She performed on the same stage her mother performed a couple times in the past. Both ladies (Liza and Judy) were pure real talent that we will never see in our lifetimes again.
She was a great dancer too, when she was younger. Saw her live and met her some time in the '90s. What a woman, literally vibrating with energy (even off stage) and glowing with charisma xxx
I know that she paid her dues, and she was lucky enough to have the background...but this woman had the talent...it came naturally, or seemed so..and that's the key! No fake nothing, just her!
Ths is the way it's done. Forget all that lady Gaga and Adele and Jennifer Lopez mediocracy. This is a personality and energy and one of the best voices ever with nothing other then instruments behind her and a microphone in her hand and she brings the house down. And this is pure magic.
Kitty Viveen I don’t know about Jennifer Lopez, but both Lady Gaga and Adele have written and performed blood stirring anthems that have audiences rising to their feet in appreciation. Taking nothing at all from Liza Minnelli, she is a brilliant performer, but there is room for other talent and it too deserves recognition.
@@ka8mk Audiences stand up for anything these days. Just out of habit. And these 3 that you mention ( and centainly Jennifer Lopez), have all the works behind them to make it sound great. Liza had all at birth. You can not compare. These days, if anyone can sing 3 notes in tune everyone thinks that they are a genius. Well, just listen to this. Put one piano behind her and Liza will make it happen. And maybe, just maybe Adele could do that. But certainly not the other 2 you mention.
Ella es tan perfecta lo canta con tantos amor, pasión, entrega, orgullosa disfruta de la canción, es una artista completa, es increíble Liza Minelli por siempre para siempre única, es una leyenda viviente, está mujer se merece todo porque es humilde, es sencilla sensibilidad a flor de piel, buena gente, los verdaderos artistas son así, por eso son grandes leyendas ❤️🥳🥂
I had no idea that this was written for LiZa. I thought it was Frank's song. Bless Liza, I adore her, she taught me everything I know about being a female person.
Yes, it was written for Liza when she starred in the Movie Musical "New York, New York", co-starring Robert DeNiro, in 1977. Sinatra kind of adopted it as his own, when he recorded it and it became a hit. Liza, of course, always gracious, and would do anything for her "Uncle Frank", was just as pleased that he made it a hit.....
@@edrhubart8011 oh pleeeassse, I hate when someone likes one version and ignorantly says someone else 'murdered' the song. I like Liza's version better, but Frank did fine with it. Get over yourself
Everytime I hear Liza sing - shivers go through my body - She is amazing and I cry for her and her mother - I wish they could of been born 20 years later so I could have had my life watching and listening to them both
Thank goodness for all the wonderful recordings we have to enjoy. Try and purchase The Judy Garland Show on DVD, it really does preserve her legacy in the most extraordinary way. As for the magical Liza, hopefully more and more of her filmed concerts will get released on modern physical media.
A good friend of mine dated her & was considered her boyfriend in-between husbands & produced her Album New Feelings & conducted her orchestra @ times. She's a great talent
Wow, I love her radiant smile and exuberance!!! I never knew this was her song!!! I always thought it was Mr. Sinatra’s. I really love Liza’s version!!!
hahaha, she introduced in the film with same name, she starred with Robert DeNiro. Film was a flop, but the scene, and song live on. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ge7NiJuSpac.html
I only wish I could have been looking at both in person at their many concerts. But, wasn't able to. But I haven't missed any movies or music they performed. Many of their songs have touched and inspired me throughout my Life.
See, this is all it takes to be a real singer - no sound gimmicks or fancy lighting - just a lady on a stage with honest talent and a great voice - please take note Katy, Miley and the rest of you who record your albums one note at a time - and can't really belt 'em out at your concerts....
A wonderful version, thanks for posting, but in my opinion nothing tops her New Orleans Special version of it. Energy, vocals, crowd, orchestra's playing - all that is a good deal more spectacular in New Orleans.
