The choreography in these old musicals can never be replicated.

Complete genius. There has NEVER been a performer more magical.

[ConservativeMan]

There is not one friggin Hollywood Celebrity alive today that could even come 10 miles of a performance like this. It really is breath taking! RIP beautiful lonely Miss Judy!

[alansutel]

She should have gotten the Oscar for this movie.

Judy was among the greatest performers of the 20th century. Maybe she was the greatest.

[marilynable]

Her voice is so damn powerful! We'll never have someone like her again. She truly shaped the future of popular music at the time

[wehoscott]

No greater star had there been before. No greater star has there been since. No greater star shall there ever be.

Nobody, NOBODY, can or could finish a song like Judy could. 1:21 to the end is absolutely mind blowing, and she was only 32 years old.

This number was actually a mixture of several different takes, and recordings. Even the cane taps were dubbed. It is a tribute to Judy's genius that the number is so superb.

I've sung this song so many times--in the shower, in the laundry room, the kitchen, the living room...but never at the dining table. Mom always said that was bad luck!

[SymphonyBrahms]

Great. Judy was magic. Talent. Charisma. Singing. Dancing. Acting. One of the greatest performers who ever lived.

[ellacarson]

Not only that spectacular voice and delivery, but every little move perfect!

My favorite Hollywood female artists .. Bette Davis and Judy Garland.

A Class Act through and through. Without a doubt the Greatest Entertainer of our Time. No one, no one has touched or will ever touch Judy Garland. She is simply God's gift to us all. Along with The Great American Songbook that is Gershwin nothing could showcase American talent more so than A Star is Born.

Often overlooked by the stupendous talents of the greatest entertainer in Hollywood history (Judy)---it's easy to do by watching this---is the fantastic dance choreography in this scene by the late, great Richard Barstow. As you re-watch this video, focus on the dancing...the incredible choreography...the incredible and talented dancers as they were perfectly timed and in step with every down note and beat. Folks, that took LOTS and LOTS of practice and retakes to get this down. The dance routine itself is just beautiful and magnificent to watch. Judy had that what we call in Hollywood, the "triple threat"---she could act, sing, AND dance. Many stars back then had it (unlike today)...HAD to have it! My heart sinks whenever I think of how Judy left us....there'll never be another one like her!

This world has never been a kind place for anything divine or anyone divinely blessed. Judy suffered at the hands of those who were supposed to care for her. In spite of all that, she exuded grace, incomparable beauty and love. My heart has been captured ❤️.

I like the sounds of the tapping and the canes hitting the floor.

[Maplelust]

Judy Garland was amazing. breathtaking in fact. 😭😭

How many times and in how many ways can I love this?❤
