Liza Minnelli sings the Ultimate version of New York, New York

[@bryanroark8965]

One person, one microphone, no ear piece, electrifying an entire theatre! There is only one Liza!

[@Seabasstien]

There is only one New York City and only one Liza Minnelli and America is lucky to have both.

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.

[@ka8mk]

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.

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.

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.....

I think my favorite performance of "New York, New York" will forever be Liza singing it on "The Rosie O'Donnell Show", just a few days after 09/11. Admittedly her voice isn't at its strongest, but it's still damn good. And to have such a resilient woman performing her love letter to a city when it was seemingly at its most vulnerable, it gives a whole new context to the song. The love, the sorrow, the spirit are palpable.
