By Myself
Judy Garland Lyrics

@jadezee6316

you,.......are correct@@nightpoolproductions5747

@nickb9575

How this woman never won an Oscar is BEYOND me.

@christophepena2212

Who cares...she's a GENIUS.. and a LEGEND!!!!

@TotzkeMike

She did win a special Oscar for "The Wizard of Oz" ...

@jackanthony976

She made enemies in the movie industry, especially at MGM who were on the voting block of the Academy. Her unprofessional behavior, (some of it granted was not entirely her fault) caused many to think that she did not deserve an academy award as her and her husband Sid Luft were blamed for the severe cost over runs on a Star Is Born, the only movie that she had a chance of receiving an academy award.

@mickeymouse2able

Renee Zellwegger will win and give Judy the spotlight once again. Judy will win through Renee. Judy was an artist. The way she used her hands and body that voice. Right?

@diggidy600

And yet Rene Zellweger Will win an Oscar for portraying her. Her performance in the movie brought me here

@WorldThroughMySpecs

I've watched this like a hundred times and I never tire of just how incredible the performance is. The way she literally seems to brace herself to beat out the final notes are astonishing.

@lc6067

Steven Stewart - so true. You just run out of adjectives when you try to describe what she does to you when she sings. Just an otherworldly talent. There will never be another like her.

@mickeymouse2able

She finished and then said to herself, "I killed it. The audience is dead"

@Darrigrande

I get gossebumps when I heart ths song of the incomparable Judy Garland!

@Caesar13ism

Agreed Steven. She can bring me to tears and that's rare for me. I too have watched it over and over and marvel at her. She had a way of using big hand gestures and body movement to "push" the sound out of her. Her vibrato is what amazes me, the way she sort of "swallows" the sound at the end of lines. Linda Ronstadt said once "The sound came out of her like a golden thread on a spool".

@MrCrowebobby

@@Caesar13ism This was Piaf via Kay Thompson. Not to make little of Judy's phenomenal talent.

@SaxonC

No one could ever sell a song like This Great Lady! Her voice is unmatched! ❤

@maxulapretto6715

No dancers no special effects , just her and that voice!!. Judy was an original.

@MrCrowebobby

This is a classic Piaf presentation -- minimal movement, minimal had gestures and covering the face with the hand. Wonderful, don't get me wrong.

@dorothygale1104

Queen Judy could be singing a cappella on s subway platform and it would be a magnificent event. Judy Garland had a level of talent that had never been experience before and hasn’t been experienced since her passing. Experiencing Judy perform is a true glimpse of Heaven

@Darrigrande

The didn´t need any spacial effect because she had a huge talent!

@deborahmatos6575

Yes she was

@Farkararka

This is actually 100% AI

@Caesar13ism

I mean, come on. That turn she does near the end was a signature move for this song with her. So lucky to have this color version so well directed from the film. She was a wonder, a magician, a miracle. Nobody will ever come close to this.

Peggy Lee said "Judy at her worst is better than the rest of us at our best." True of not the sentiment is valid.

@kevinmarsh516

Total goosebumps in the last few moments of that performance. An absolute legend.

@sidviscus

She is beyond words, it's like her talent comes from somewhere else. She is an angel.

@larryshaver3568

@Darrigrande

She did it by herself, but was also a path of suffering and pain. She was exploited and abused by he studios and husbands and her end was a sad one! But she was by far the best entertainer ever!

The scene at the doctors office, The scene in the limousine, the tour of London scene, the one where she’s singing Gilbert and Sullivan...
And all of her numbers, not a single clunker. Some purists don’t like “Hello, Bluebird” but if it’s Harold Arlen, it’s good enough for me.

Entertainer of the century.

@terrygrant2028

jimmyl324 The greatest entertainer in all of history. She never cheated an audience. She gave them everything she had. When the show was over she had nothing left to give, she gave it all. I read somewhere that Aretha Franklin and Whoopi Goldberg think that Judy was the greatest soul singer ever, and I agree, she sang everything from her soul. Swing, Jazz, Patriotic, Hymns, Blues, Comic, Torch, And Rock and Roll. There wasn’t anything she couldn’t sing. Ella Fitzgerald was invited to be a guest on Judy’s show, which was an invite she turned down.Scared Ella? Judy left us 50 years ago, and her popularity continues to grow, because, when she sings she makes you feel, unlike anyone before her or anyone since her. THANKS JUDY!

Amazing. She had the ability to perform a magic trick every time she sang. That little body, so frail looking in a way. But she'd plant her feet and that voice would come out. That voice.

@@SultrySole I'm not going to admit that when I listen to the song I try and do the walk, but that as my living room isn't big enough to really do it I just go around in little circles.

@adoriaanneise2393

It never fails...when I hear this song, tears stream down my face. I can feel every emotion from her when she performs this. I've love Judy since I was a kid. 💛

I'll go my way by myself
This is the end of romance
I'll go my way by myself
Love is only a dance
I'll try to apply myself
And teach my heart how to sing
I'll go my way by myself like a bird on the wing
I'll face the unkown
I'll build a world of my own
No one knows better than I myself
I'm by myself alone
I'll go my way by myself
Here's how the comedy ends
I'll have to deny myself, love and laughter and friends
Gray clouds in the sky above
Have put a blot on my fun
I'll try to fly high above
For my place in the sun
I'll face the unkown
I'll build a world of my own
No one knows better than I myself
No one knows better than I myself
How I wanted love and fell
Now I say what the hell
All of those black days are gone
Cause its solo, all alone
By myself, from now on

@dorothygale1104

She made so much money for MGM and it has been reported that MGM, despite all of its other productions, was only profitable because of Judy Garland films. MGM used her and abused her and studio execs had the netve to complain that she was hard to work with. She wssn’t hard to work with; it was the studio prople who turned her into a drug addict in order to squeeze every penny from her talent and despite all of the sbuse, Judy’s talent shined like the Dun on the brightest day. When the studio thought there no mote that profit that could be squeezed iyt of Judy, that she was done, the studio kicked her to the curb without so much ad a Thank You, instead leaking stories about how hard ut was to work with Judy, which made ger post-MGM days more difficult as other studios were reluctant fo hire her. Despite all of the abuse, her tslent remained a beacon as her post-MGM film performances and music concert are acclaimed classics. The toll of the studio’s abuse of Judy ultimately killed her, but her talent as captured in films and in recordings have reminded indestructible.

Kay Thompson. Thank you for working with Judy to create the amazing 'concert Judy' an entirely different stage presence than 'movie Judy'. Kay, a brilliant cabaret performer helped Judy develop the entire repertoire of hand gestures, verbal tics, the 'hair grab', the legs apart stance etc. etc. ALL of it along with sharpening and maturing Judy's vocal performance for sheer drama and excitement. Kay was Liza's godmother.

I accidentally visited Hollywood Forever cemetery the day she was moved there. Complete coincidence, and we didn’t realize what happened until after we read she was moved a day later. The owner of the cemetery was there, and there was a “hush hush” gathering in the Rudolph Valentino mausoleum. If only I had known what was going on. Instead, I was just annoyed they had the mausoleum blocked off. If I had known, I would have respectfully backed away. Favorite singer. Favorite song. Thanks!
