She's so great but my favorite thing about this version is that I can actually understand what she's saying. A lot of people who sing this song sacrifice good diction for speed
AND she did the patter part only again in NYC just last week!!! I was there and the audience was blown out of their seats....we were all left speechless..it was impromtu and unrehearsed.
This woman is so freaking talented!!!!!! Her breathing control, her amazing diction, her pristine voice.... A unique wonderful lady! Long Live to the Queen of Musicals!
This QUEEN! Firstly, the glitter people jumpsuit is amazing. Second, she sang all the parts like it wasn't even a big deal. Thirdly, she did Paul's part and the first half of Amys verse without a single breath! And lastly, I heard every word. She is a walking, talking treasure that needs to be held onto. We should never lose her.
@@johnboys4697 Did you read the comments from 2 years ago? She was singing then. My jaw nearly hit the table when I read that. And, if you catch the Diana Sawyer interview w/ Andrews (where Julie goes public with the news) Sawyer and her team found a clip of Andrews singing after the surgery failed. It is played during the interview. I'm not saying JA lied, I am saying she has, at times, gotten her voice back.
One of the best version. She makes every word clear and heard while also doing it as fast as it should. Also, while most performances either go too subtle or too over the top but shes just perfect
The fast speaking is talent in itself, it's reminiscent of 'My Fair Lady' & then she breaks back to soprano with that clarity! I also love the way she rolls her 'r' on the word 'rain'. It would have been tiring performing this live tho, especially if you were doing it 8 times a week :O
Thank you for this very rare video! I don't think that song was easy on Dame Andrews' vocal cords, but what a breathtaking (For her too!) rendition! I hope Mr Sondheim was pleased!
yah man, that was some tough growls and screams on her pristine chords. She really put them through a lot night after night with this song and then victor victoria, and before it was My Fair Lady. Camelot was super for her voice.
This woman taught me how to sing!!!... my mother saw my potential and made me listen to Julie Andrews instead of paying for lessons lol... I give her credit for my diction because I wanted to sing just like her!!!!!
That's exactly what I did as a child. I listened closely to Mary Poppins, My Fair Lady (Broadway original cast), Camelot - and I just copied Julie Andrews, her style, her diction, her musicality - and my friends would say, you sound just like Julie Andrews! She was absolutely my model. I sounded like her because I imitated her.
oh god, she is unbelievable. Every word, every syllable, every note so perfect. how does she do it so seamlessly. In fact in 2019 during the release of her new book, she was asked a question about the song, and she just LAUNCHED into it, without missing a beat, without missing a word, as if she did it yesterday. I was gobsmacked, as was the audience. We were all silent for a good few minutes trying to understand what we just witnessed.
Great facility, chest head and blended voice, breath control diction... AND she managed to sing two other o ok arts where she could whilst staying central as the character “not getting married today “. Brilliant .
This was the first version of this song I heard. I had no idea this was not a solo until I stumbled onto another, and read the comments here. She’s amazing
Julie Andrews is really the best singer ever with the most glorious voice! Singing this song the way she does is extraordinary. And she still remembers those extremely difficult lyrics to this day, as she proved in an event for her great book Homework, in 2019. Isn't she a treasure? Bravo, Julie!
If you dare to try it 😂 JENNY: Bless this day, Pinnacle of life Husband joined to wife The heart leaps up to behold This golden day.

What's a wedding? It's a prehistoric ritual Where everybody promises fidelity forever, Which is maybe the most horrifying word I ever heard of, Which is followed by a honeymoon, where suddenly he'll realize He's saddled with a nut, and want to kill me, which he should. Thanks a bunch, but I'm not getting married Go have lunch, 'cause I'm not getting married You've been grand, but I'm not getting married Don't just stand there, I'm not getting married And don't tell Paul, but I'm not getting married today. Go! Can't you go? Why is nobody listening? Goodbye! Go and cry At another person's wake. If you're quick, for a kick You could pick up a christening But please, on my knees, There's a human life at stake! Listen everybody, I'm afraid you didn't hear Or do you want to see a crazy lady fall apart in front of you? It isn't only Paul who would be ruining his life You know, we'll both of us be losing our identities I telephoned my analyst about it, and he said to see him Monday But by Monday I'll be floating in the Hudson with the other garbage. I'm not well, so I'm not getting married You've been swell, but I'm not getting married Clear the hall, 'cause I'm not getting married Thank you all, but I'm not getting married And don't tell Paul, but I'm not getting married today.
Watching this I feel like there has not been a musical part written that really uses her talent. She is crazy funny, can do everything from grand opera to gospel to rock, country and music hall busker songs, does not exactly dance but moves beautifully. I would have like Julie , Angela Lansbury and Barbra Streisand in a musical by Sondheim.
Maravillosa!. Mi ídola absoluta desde que tengo 15 años (o sea, desde hace 40...). No habrá ninguna igual, no habrá ninguna.... Gracias por este regalo invalorable, Music & Memories!

the fact she managed to make this song look so effortless and easy to sing, even tho this song is extremely difficult just goes to show Julie Andrews talent
This is amazing. I've seen it with Madeline Kahn, but never Julie Andrews - and doing all three parts. I have no wish to try this piece, it's so Sondheim and no favorite of mine. So Sondheim is safe from me! But kudos to Julie for courage!
Listening to it twice, I definitely notice that just the patter by itself would be difficult (for most people) (if she's doing it impromptu and unrehearsed then that presumably means that she's made it part of her permanent or long term repertoire and has it memorized and available for use at all times, so she can just pull it out of a hat whenever she needs to). First time around the main thing I noticed was how funny it was. I wasn't really noticing if it was difficult or not. Her work does tend to have that effect on people. ^____^
The fact the director had her sing all three parts is a bit odd, but the "A" in JULIE ANDREWS stands for "BEYOND AMAZING!!!" Yes, you can hear and understand every word, but she is also "in character" the entire time; in a three part song, yet she is Amy having a nervous breakdown. That's singing, perfect breath control and diction, AND acting!! Flawless, and BEYOND AMAZING!!
The fact that she did all the parts is enough proof that she's talented beyond words can express.
I agree!
Beyond
Incredible talent
wow she sang a three person song all by herself what a wonder woman!
Music director: So Ms. Andrews, which part will you be singing?
Julie: Yes.
😂 YES, indeed!
🤣🤣🤣👍😉
She's so great but my favorite thing about this version is that I can actually understand what she's saying. A lot of people who sing this song sacrifice good diction for speed
SO SO VERY TRUE
AND she did the patter part only again in NYC just last week!!! I was there and the audience was blown out of their seats....we were all left speechless..it was impromtu and unrehearsed.
she redid an excerpt from this past December! She did it with such ease.
She has speed and clear diction. NO one has done it better since.
@@Shamsithaca Lea Salonga the girl who played Eponine is pretty good too
Mary Poppins is my favourite rapper
Batman's parents Honestly same. Can the umbrella be the Hype man
Maria though
This isn’t rap though
@@kittykat123425 it’s a joke 🤨
Must applaud this comment
Who needs subtitle when you can hear Julie Andrews as clear as this?!?!?
Deaf people...
@@trickytreyperfected1482 poor deaf people, not being able to hear beauty like this.
What???
This woman is so freaking talented!!!!!! Her breathing control, her amazing diction, her pristine voice.... A unique wonderful lady! Long Live to the Queen of Musicals!
Absolutely!
That performance is FLAWLESS! Breathtaking!
honestly
Flawless!
Andreina Garban Especially because she did the entire song alone.
My left ear really enjoyed this.
Thank God! I thought I broke my damn headphones. It's just the audio lol
It happened to my right ear.
HAHAH SAME I THOUGHT I BROKE MY AIRPODS AND I HAD A HEART ATTACK
This QUEEN! Firstly, the glitter people jumpsuit is amazing. Second, she sang all the parts like it wasn't even a big deal. Thirdly, she did Paul's part and the first half of Amys verse without a single breath! And lastly, I heard every word. She is a walking, talking treasure that needs to be held onto.

Well she did loose her voice

I didn’t even realize this song was famously difficult to sing because, as always, Julie Andrews KILLED IT.
One of the best version. She makes every word clear and heard while also doing it as fast as it should. Also, while most performances either go too subtle or too over the top but shes just perfect
Couldn't agree more✨. Besides, really the best comment👍.
Will you be singing Jenny or Amy, Ms. Andrews?
JA: Yes.
?????
JA: And Paul too.
😱😱😱
🤣🤣🤣😱😱😱
She’s a Company BY HERSELF!!!
The delivery of "He said to call me Monday" with the dropping head killed me
Omg her enunciation plus her singing all the parts is just iconic
Must be the first time i've actually understood every word ahhaha
Couldn't agree more✨…
@@zdoriksandorikMe too🤣…
A one-woman version of this song that literally only Julie Andrews could pull off so flawlessly!
Couldn't agree more✨…
And THAT ladies and gentleman, is how you own a song! Amen!
"but wouldn't it be funny to go and watch a funeral" is so good and clear that I actually guffawed at the line!
The fast speaking is talent in itself, it's reminiscent of 'My Fair Lady' & then she breaks back to soprano with that clarity! I also love the way she rolls her 'r' on the word 'rain'. It would have been tiring performing this live tho, especially if you were doing it 8 times a week :O
A reminiscence of Eliza Doolittle in that "r"
osi sadorio yes of course, like the rain in Spain :-D
I always considered J.A. a mezzo.
Thank you for this very rare video! I don't think that song was easy on Dame Andrews' vocal cords, but what a breathtaking (For her too!) rendition! I hope Mr Sondheim was pleased!
yah man, that was some tough growls and screams on her pristine chords. She really put them through a lot night after night with this song and then victor victoria, and before it was My Fair Lady. Camelot was super for her voice.
SHE SANG ALL THE PARTS!!!!!! I'm killing myself trying to learn just Amy's part. What a queen 💜💜💜💜💜💜
This woman taught me how to sing!!!... my mother saw my potential and made me listen to Julie Andrews instead of paying for lessons lol... I give her credit for my diction because I wanted to sing just like her!!!!!
That's exactly what I did as a child. I listened closely to Mary Poppins, My Fair Lady (Broadway original cast), Camelot - and I just copied Julie Andrews, her style, her diction, her musicality - and my friends would say, you sound just like Julie Andrews! She was absolutely my model. I sounded like her because I imitated her.
She did a stupendous job. It was really nice to finally be able to understand the opera-esque part being sung between, too.
I love the way she says “in the Hudson with the other garbage” for some reason.
Not only she sings all the parts and every part and every word, she acts them! She portrays every character so clearly 👏🌟
oh god, she is unbelievable. Every word, every syllable, every note so perfect. how does she do it so seamlessly. In fact in 2019 during the release of her new book, she was asked a question about the song, and she just LAUNCHED into it, without missing a beat, without missing a word, as if she did it yesterday. I was gobsmacked, as was the audience. We were all silent for a good few minutes trying to understand what we just witnessed.
😳😳😳?! My God😭…
Hope someone had recorded it😭…
Great facility, chest head and blended voice, breath control diction... AND she managed to sing two other o ok arts where she could whilst staying central as the character “not getting married today “. Brilliant .
this is the best thing I've ever seen. Julie Andrews is my #1 actress, singer and person! she is absolutely incredible! this is so fantastic!
Couldn't agree more✨…
Um a jumpsuit queen... YESSSS I love her so much
so she just played all the parts!! woooah!
NAILED IT!!
HOW THE HECK IS SHE SO BEAUTIFULLY TALENTED
This is still my favorite version and I doubt anyone will be able to top it.
Julie Andrews is a sensation, a most gracious and generous performer. Her vocals are next to perfect. You hear every single word. Bravo!
Totally agree✨…
amy's parts: 1:55 2:44 4:13l
She did all the parts and you could also understand each word. Her talent is beyond amazing!
Could agree more✨…
This was the first version of this song I heard. I had no idea this was not a solo until I stumbled onto another, and read the comments here.
She’s amazing
No words good enough to define or describe this insanely talented artist Julie! Beautiful & humble
Even for the rapidly fast parts, every word is clear and understandable. Luv Julie ❤️
Wow! Just WOW! Breathtaking. Is there Anyone out there today that can come even close?
I don't think so.
I love how she sings “a wedding? What’s a wedding?” She’s absolutely lovely
Stephen Sondheim and Julie Andrews are good friends since late 1950s✨… Two legends💫.
Just like Lea Solanga, you can understand every word!! My favorite sinder of all time.
She sings this better than the actual cast. That too, ALL 3 PARTS
Julie Andrews is really the best singer ever with the most glorious voice! Singing this song the way she does is extraordinary. And she still remembers those extremely difficult lyrics to this day, as she proved in an event for her great book Homework, in 2019. Isn't she a treasure? Bravo, Julie!
Wow............I thought I've seen every version of this song on YT.....Happily I was wrong....Wow !
Man, I’d be making a fool myself if I ever saw her sing in person. When she arrives on stage I’d be like “YESSSS QUEEEEEEN”
I saw her TWICE. Like dying and going to heaven.
If you dare to try it 😂
JENNY: Bless this day,
Pinnacle of life
Husband joined to wife
The heart leaps up to behold

As wonderful as he is.
Thank you all for the gifts and the flowers,
Thank you all, now it's back to the showers
Don't tell Paul, but I'm not getting married today.
JENNY: Bless this day,
Tragedy of life
Husband bound to wife
The heart leaps up
And feels dead
This dreadful day.
AMY: Listen everybody, look, I don't know what you're waiting for
A wedding. What's a wedding? It's a prehistoric ritual
Where everybody promises fidelity forever,
Which is maybe the most horrifying word I ever heard of,
Which is followed by a honeymoon, where suddenly he'll realize
He's saddled with a nut, and want to kill me, which he should.
Thanks a bunch, but I'm not getting married
Go have lunch, 'cause I'm not getting married
You've been grand, but I'm not getting married
Don't just stand there, I'm not getting married

Go! Can't you go?
Why is nobody listening?
Goodbye! Go and cry
At another person's wake.

I telephoned my analyst about it, and he said to see him Monday
But by Monday I'll be floating in the Hudson with the other garbage.

You've been swell, but I'm not getting married
Clear the hall, 'cause I'm not getting married
Thank you all, but I'm not getting married
And don't tell Paul, but I'm not getting married today.
No one is as perfect as Julie Andrews!
practically perfect in every way!
Practically perfect in every way✨…
By far the BEST convincing performance! All other performances are too quick and robotic like deers in headlights 😳 ...true musical ACTRESS!!!
Being a deer in the headlights is part of the act
Watching this I feel like there has not been a musical part written that really uses her talent. She is crazy funny, can do everything from grand opera to gospel to rock, country and music hall busker songs, does not exactly dance but moves beautifully.

Wow. Just wow.
I went on a binge watch for all the versions of this and hers is by far so crisp and clean!
My favorite version can’t believe she sang all the parts still the best
She blows my mind each time! The great Julie Andrews, you're the queen! Love you
Am blown away! Julie is there anything you can't do?!?i love ya!
“I’m not sure I’d make a very good nun.”
Truly amazing and she even sings all parts of the song on her own
Bless this bride, totally insane hahaha. Totally
Thank you!
Julie is the only the one who does this so perfect! She is insanely talented! She does this so effortlessly! Flawless!

I saw Putting It Together in the early 90s with Julie Off-Broadway. Phenomenal.
this is perfection😍
Superb!!
Oh my god , this woman is amazing 🥺😍
Julie Andrews is so frickin talented like oh my gosh
WOW cantó todas las partes!
Totally divine😭…
I really couldn't imagine how she did this😢✨…
Brilliant
Fantastic!
QUEEN
Ahhh yea J.A you never let me down.
Couldn't agree more✨…
Whoa…it may not have been as funny, but HOLY SMOKES. THIS WOMAN OOOZES TALENT!
Julie does this the bestest
she has such a wonderful stage presence
Yes! In fact, I thought her stage performances are BETTER than her audio and movie performances… Both acting and singing… She was made for stage✨.
Brilliant!!
I have a deep admiration for her! ♥️
Basically a Master Class.
The greatest ever.
She is absolutely INCREDIBLE. But I feel like something is lost if one person plays all roles.
It was a musical revue, not a regular musical.
@@timbolester point stands
Julie does this best of them all!
the audio quality is below average and yet i manage to understand her words completely.
Right… Unbelievable😳😭……
EXCELLENT!!
Listening to it twice, I definitely notice that just the patter by itself would be difficult (for most people) (if she's doing it impromptu and unrehearsed then that presumably means that she's made it part of her permanent or long term repertoire and has it memorized and available for use at all times, so she can just pull it out of a hat whenever she needs to).

Her work does tend to have that effect on people. ^____^
ALL THREE PARTS!
She was right, she’s practically perfect in every way
Now I really believe it🤣😭💫……
Pretty sure when God was making talent rain on people, Julie Andrews was the source
I. Love. Her.
What a legend
I aspire to obtain this level of diction in my life.
Me too🤣.
WOWZA
Awh a rare video of the young queen of genovia singing perfectly 😇
She was 58 then🤣😳😭…
The fact the director had her sing all three parts is a bit odd, but the "A" in JULIE ANDREWS stands for "BEYOND AMAZING!!!" Yes, you can hear and understand every word, but she is also "in character" the entire time; in a three part song, yet she is Amy having a nervous breakdown. That's singing, perfect breath control and diction, AND acting!! Flawless, and BEYOND AMAZING!!
Couldn't agree more😳… Just Unbelievable✨…
