    She also has NO stage presence. She's just phony and overacts all the time!!!! It's almost embarrassing.No wonder she never made it big. I only know of her from books and documentaries about Judy. Liza never used Judy to get her GREAT and long career. That's ALL Lorna does!!!!

    Lorna is a great live performer. She came to Wolverhampton in concert, she was fantastic. I've seen many stars perform and she is right up there with the best of them. She has a great voice, classy beyond belief and a really likeable stage presence. I love her to bits

    I love how both Liza and Lorna perform just like their mother, Judy Garland. It's almost as if they do the hand movements that Judy did when performing to be powerful and leave the viewer with a sense of wonder and respect to the both of them (sorry, if that sounds confusing).

    I think Lorna has the better technical voice.. which is awesome, don't get me wrong, but doesn't have quite the "wow" or "star" factor of Judy or Liza. It's not something you can gain by study or anything. I think it is incredible that Judy's talent got passed down to both daughters in some way or another.

    I think it would be difficult to grow up as Liza being compared in everything you do to your mother. Then Imagine being Lorna and being compared to not only your mother but your big sister as well! And have the guts to still go out there and sing. I have to give it to them! They are both very talented women!

    I met her when was appearing Ft. Lauderdale doing her "Songs My Mother Taught Me" we chatted backstage for about 15 min. When I brought up the subject of Judy she cringed so I quickly changed the subject to her kids that took the tension out of her reaction. She has/had a very good voice but she's one tough lady!

    Lorna has a nice voice and sang this song with power and passion. Lorna lacked stage presence, though. I wonder how Judy, Liza and Lorna sounded if they sang together. If Judy lived long enough ... It's telling though that Lorna spoke a lot like Liza. The intonation, the accent, a kind of thestricality about it. They grew up together: maybe they got that from their mother.

    I think that Lorna has a more powerful and "bigger" so to speak voice, than Liza has.. But Liza stands out more, she is more unique than Lorna is and I think that's why Liza is a bigger star than Lorna is but I also think that Lorna deserves more attention and credit for her voice! And for Judy, she is not a part of this! - she is in a category for herself!!!

    I agree. I like Lorna. She seems like a nice person, but her voice is thinner than either Judy or Liza. Judy and Liza are in a class of their own in terms of robust belting power without sounding shrill. (Not that Lorna sounds shrill, but a lot of less talented Broadway belters do sound shrill rather than robust.) Anyway, thanks for posting. I had not heard this.

    Why isn't this available on dvd? I think she didn't make it big like Liza because of her career choices. She started out trying to sing rock music. Her voice is more suited for Broadway. Had she stayed on Broadway for a while she could have had a more successful career.
